When earth's little beams Of pleasure
Were not blinded BY its tears,
When from her side we were staying
ahSaghtlsssl awhile TO roam,
From Our childish. wilful wand'ring
Gentle mother called us home.
After years brought joy and sertow
To our humble village cot,
Taking from our little circle,
Those who ne'sr viii be forgot;
Though We left our loved home often,
Through LIES scene awhile TO roam;
Yet when sadness gathered o'erus
Gentle mother called Us home.
Now, beneath the weeping willow,
They have laid her down to rest,
And we walk alone iifes journey.
By rude tolls and cares opprsst;
Yet we hear, through all the darkness.
Wheresoe'er on earth we roam.

They Fight.

They Fight.
As some of the women of Benwood
fight merely for the purpose of getting
before a Justice of the Peace, we will
try and assist them in making it more
public by publication. If they would
only give us an mixing when they in
tendet to settle their differences by q
knock down and chancsry squeeze we
would, make it our business to be on
hand ind give faithful report Of the
innings, fbbings, and kisser-smashers
and SIDE. roasters, but as it is we only
have to surmise. Mrs. Harrington, Mrs.
Catop and some other lady, all belong
ing in Benwood, and unknown to pu-
gilistic fame, came together few days
ago, without bottle-holder, referee or
seconds, to settle the question who was
the best woman. 1t may be so that they
were jealous of their liege lords, and
swore eternal vengeance upon their vile
traducers for "hell hath no fury equal to
woman's scorn,D and determined to fight
it out on that "line if it took all sum
mer." Bnt of this we would not pre-
tend to say; but we know they fought,
were arrested, and their trial at Ben
wood will come up before Justice OF
the Peace on next Friday week.

Accidentally Killed.

A man by the name of Jerome Ward
was accidently killed yesterday morn
ing in the coal bank of Dewey, Vance
& Co., where he was employed. 1t ap-
pears that he was engaged with his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Robert JuDkins, in
taking out large soap stone, part of
which they had succeeded in removing.
Mr.. Jdnkins left him for few minutes
to procure 4 piece of wood for the re-
naming portion of the stone to rest up
on, but while he was gone 1t fell ard
struck Mr.. Ward on the head, crushing
him down to the ground and layingion
his body. He made some faint noise for
help, which Mr.. Junkins heard and
came to his assistance, but the stone
was too large for him to remove alone.
Mr.. Junkins then called to German
for assistance, but the German could
not understand, so he was compelled
to seek help some where else, and by
the time he returned Mr.. Ward was
dead. Mr.. Ward is native of Dundee,
Scotland has been in this city about
two weeks; about twenty-five years OF
age, and leaves wife and one child to
mourn his death. He will be buried at
ten o'clock this morning in the Cath
Ollie graveyard, from the residence Of
Mr.. Junkins on Morrow street, where
he resided.

Police Court.

Foifce Sourt
1t was long after the hour of assem-
bling this Court before business was
commenced yesterday morning. A large
and enthusiastic crowd, equal to that
which surrounds ticket wagons on the
occasion of circuses, impatiently await
ed its opening, and then rushed for
their places outside of the bar. BY the
way, we may as well state the fact that
the railing to protect the deliberations
of Justice in this room has been success
fully put up, much to the discontinue
of those who have been accustomed to
crowd upon the mourners.
Christopher Wagner was introduced
TO the court as live spiritual rapper
superinduced by the influence of ben
zine. He had been rapping against the
door of one Mr.. Kraft, about2 o'clock in
the morning, and for this unpardon-
able offence Mr.. Kraft became medium
and raped Christopher several times
about the head which caused him to
seek place of repose on terra yfrmd.
Christopher prior to this was armed
with u brick in each hand and
made some threatening demonstra-
items upon Mr., Kraft. Old Ben. (ben-
zine) was to blame for the whole affair,
but Christopher had to stand the con-
sequences, which amounted to fine OF
ten dollars and costs.
w. A. Schearer, for driving his wagon
at an unlawful speed in trying to pass q
butchers wagon, and at the same time
came very near running over small
boy at the corner of Union and Market
streets, was fined five dollars and costs.

Your public buildings are sinking dollars by
the hundred thousand, with no apparent result.
Your Lunatic Asylum has already cost $50 OO0,
athird more than the original estimate for the
whole, and the first wing is not yet completed.
At the present rate, more than one million Of
dollars will be consumed in what Is nothing less
than q stupendous fraud, at which your public
servants are conniving.
e.. The Penitentiary was expected to be built fol

planned it, nearly four times rs mnch material
will be required as was originally intended, and
the expense of the building viii be little short
of one million dollars, Other operations of pub
lie men show 4 similar disregard of your inter.
est. Many of them are mere schemes Of private
benefit and public robbery.
Not q single Radical journal Of the State has
uttered word Of dennnciation Of these or any
other public wrongs To the REGISTER belongs
almost the exclusive honor Of championinR the
popular cause against the outrages Of official
plunderers. In pursuance OF its purpose to
hunt down corruption and corruptionists, the
RRdIsTER viii lay before the people many
startling facts Concerning the outlay Of State
funds upon public works. The most enormous
frauds are known to have been perpetrated. and
