EMIGRAT1Ne.-on Thursday a party
of emigranIs, from North Carolina,
numbering between twenty and thirty
persons, crossed the river at Benwood,
en- route to Missouri and Indiana. They
had their former slaves with them who
preferred seeking their fortunes in the
Great West, to further residence
among the sand hills of the pitch, tar
and turpentine State. The white Dor
ton OF the party were dressed in the
original secesh colered clothes, rugged
out with the genuine rebel buttons. That
color won't stand out in the grand
Rrairies where these people are going.
Their buttons will be displaced bv
something more in accordance with the
spirit of the age. I'D

CHANCE FOR INvEsrA1ENT.-we pub
lished5 some time since, story told of
marvellous eater, taken, we believe.
from the Fairmont Vedette. If we are
not mistaken the party proposed to eat
all the time he was making the; trip
from some point in the interior to this
city. We heard, yesterday, PROPOSE
ton in the eating line that eclipses that
and all others of a like character that
have ever come I o our knowledge. An
individual not ten miles from the spot
where we are writing, offers to wager
one hundred dollars that he can clean
out in eight hours, the following bill
of fare: a calf six weeks old, one hum
bred dozens of eggs, and wash them
down with barrel of ale. Judging
from the appearance of the party who
proposes to do this tall eating, we
should say that he has the storage"
and unless some one wants to pay the
sum mentioned to see that quantity of
eatables and drinkables disappear in
the time specified, we would not advise
the investment If it can be done bv
anybody, he's the Individual.
