son, Of Teays' Valley, residing near
Chapman's lanyard, had his house aud
all his household goods consumed by
fire on Monday, January 9th. His
neighbors responded gratuitously by
liberal contributions, and otherwise al
leviating the unfortunate man in his
grievious loss. We did not learn the
origin of the fire.
We saw q panther skin, measuring
seven feet from the nose to the end OF
the tail, on the Kanawha Belle. The
animal is said to have been killed by a
boy only twelve years of age, in Mich

present of fifty dollars for his bravery.

ninating Democratic newspapers, as a
means of overthrowing Radicalism.
The services of this Journal in behalf Of
the cause in the Kanswha Valley can
