To the LeqisZdtuTe

To the Legislature:
I herein submit ahe several annual re
norris. from an examination, of which yOU
will learn that the affairs to which they
relate have been, during the past year, SO
administered as to reflect great credit up
on the gentlemen having them in charge
1t seems neither necessary or proper fol
me to make lengthy extracts from these
reports, as they will be before you tor
reference, and the copies thereof will be
by you extensively circulated among your
constituent for their information.
There are many reforms which would
in my opinion, contribute to our welfare
as state; but as they generally involve
a change in the constitution, L refrain
from recommending them to your present
consideration, in the belief that before
many years the people will decide to call
convention to revise that instrument
and change it IN several important partlc-
ulars For the same reason, and in view
of the fact that the Legislature provided
for the publication of full digest OF the
laws | do not advise revision of the
statutes at present.
/ am glad to be able to say to you that
the healthy condition of our state affairs
indicates a nece ssity but for little general
legislation, and | trust you will abstain,
so far as possible, from that which is pure
ly private and local, when the relief sought
can be attained under general laws Such
action on your part will inaugurate re
form which will meet with the hearty ap-
proval of the people.
Heretofore it has been customary for
the Governor to act upon bills at any
time within three days after the adjourn
ment of the Legislature. l have, upon
reflection come to doubt the legality Of
such proceeding, and, in order to avoid
the consequences Of ahurried adjournment
deem it my duty to inform you that nc
bills will be considered by the Executive
after your honorable body shall have been
adjourned. You Will therefore see the
necessity of perfecting all legislation, SC
as to render such consideration OF, ano
action upon the same possible before the
adjournment. Those who remember the
result of the hasty adjournment of the
last Legislature will see the imperative
necessity for this change.

A CLOSE Run FOR IT.-On Monday,
as a four horse bus loaded with people
was coming from the picnic at Walters
Grove, and about the time the top of the
hill was reached, tho horses took it into
their heads to run away. Though two
men held the breaks against the hind
wheels, and two others held the lines,
nothing could check the break-neck
pace they had taken down hill. Inside
the passengers were packed as close as
sardines in box, and the excitement
was fearful. Men cussed and women
screamed, and an upset down the steep
side of the bank seemed inevitable.
When about halfway down, the runa-
way animals encountered an open buggy
in which were three or four grown peo-
pie. The leaders turned to avoid it, but
the wheel horses, with the weight of the
omnibus pressing on them could not
turn, so the pole of the bus struck the
buggy bed, lifting it clear off of the
wheels, and splitting the people out.
The collision threw the bus horses
down, and thus a terrible accident was
averted. Not soul was injured, nor,
save the buggy, was there any harm

NEGRO MAN DRowNED.-On Monday
evening about 5 o'clock, the negro por-
ter of the steamer New State named
George Henry Harrison, formerly of
Richmond, Va, slipped on a potato
peelipg as he was passing from near the
nantry to the forward part of the boat,
and fell into the river and was drowned
As he was going over be grasped the
arm of Henry Baker who was sitting on
the guards, Ind but that..two other men,
whom Baker was conversiDg with al
the time, caught Baker by the legs, ne
too would have gone over. Harrison
never rose after he struck the water
Falling over as did between the steam
or and the wharf.boat where cross
curreut is running pretty swiftly, ne
mnst have been carried under one or
Aha other of the vessels and was there
nrevented from rising to the surface.
The alarm was given as soon as possible
and parties ran to the rear of the State
and ., To the bow of the Express to find
him if he came up. But search was in
vain. 1t is reported that he had some
500 on his person.

jolly time. The place was shady, de.
licious breeze came off of the river, be-
hind them were the Virginia hills, be-
fore them one of the most glorious pan
dramas Gods bright sun ever shone
upon, and the entire party were sound
asleep, with the exception of little
two year. old, who was enjoying itself
in picking dog fennel blossoms.
The day passed off quietly, pleasantly
and without any accident incident to
occasions of the kind. But few persons
were intoxicated, fewer than usual, we
think. When the National Birthday
can be celebrated as nationally as it was
in wheeling on Monday, our prayer is
"Long may it wave"

POLICE CoURT,-On Monday morning
the attendance on the Police Court was
good, though most of the cases were
continued.
David Colts was charged with having
been enjoying plain drunk on Sunday.
He confessed the maize and was fined
81 and costs.
Alex. Clegg was up, charged with
having committed an assault on Joseph
Heisley. The case was continued until
yesterday morning because of the alb.
sence of a material witness, and on
yesterday continued until this morning.
Robert Gray charged with resisting
an officer, made application to have the
case continued until Friday, which was
granted. Another charge against him
of disorderly conduct took the same
course.
Henry Winesburg was found by an
officer on Saturday, hanging over a fire
plug unable to take care of himself.
He was fearfully and wonderfully
drunk. 81 AID costs,
Yesterday there was not galoet or
fusileer before Judge Good, which
speaks volumes for the sensible manner
in which our citizens celebrated the
Fourth.

BEFORE JUSTICE SHULTz.-On Mon
day deputy constable. Jacob Honeckel
went out near Mt. de Chantal to eject 8
man named Daniel Mayhem from the
house he was living in. Mayhem and
his wife fortified and prepared to give
the constable battle. A display of a
copy of the Statutes of Arkansas in
six volumes. however, was sufficient to
insure the mans arrest. Squire Shultz
fined him 50 and costs, which he paid.
Louis holman got full of patriotic and
muscular benzine on Monday, and swore
he could whip all of Ritchietown, or any
other man. He was captured by a cou-
pie of citizens after considerable trouble,
and was fined $50 and costs, which he
paid. s27 or s25 is leettle too heavy

About o'clock the steamer New State
arrived with large delegation of Good
Templars from Pittsburgh. A commit
tee was sent on the Forest City, by the
Order in this city, to meet and accom-
pany them down. They met the New
State and party just this side of Steu-
benville. The Pittsburgh delegation
consisted of fifty-two couples, and the
way they did touch the Eight fantastic
between the Smoky City and this place
was caution. On their arrival here
they were taken possession of by the
Coed Templars of Wheeling and shown
round the city. Afterwards they were
escorted to the lodge room on Main
street where speeches were made and
refreshments served. This pleasant
part of the business over, procession
was formed which, nearly, if not quite
four hundred strong, moved on the New
State. Tommy Cocayne having been
sent for they danced all night till broad
daylight and returned to Pittsburgh in
the morning. They had a bully time

"SURE 'NUFF CRAzY."-The man
Dawson whose attempt at suicide we
reported on Monday, proves to be insane
after all. 1t was very generally thought
on Saturday that the man was demented
by inordinate indulgence in Intoxicating
liquors, but DR.. Reeves informs us that
there is no doubt but that the man has
been insane some time. His insanity
was undoubtedly aggravated blythe use
of whisky. Since his attempted suicide
he has torn every atom ef his clothing
to shreds, and he has paroxisms of vio-
lenee terrible to behold. The question
is what shall be done with him. He is
city prisoner, incarcerated in default OF
fine and costs. 1t is thought the man
belongs in Ohio. If so, it is pity his
relatives cannot be found, for there is nc
place so suitable for him as the walls OF
a mad house.

SPRING CHICKENS AND THINGs.--lt
was our good fortune on Monday to
take dinner in quiet way, and to enjoy
that, to us, blessing of blessings, a
hearty meal of spring chickens. Spring
chickens are our weakness. We are so
fond of them, properly prepared and
delicately and nicely cooked, that if we
were not "a jolly cid cock" we would
be content to be spring chicken. 1t
is marvellous what q quantity of
"spring" chickens are always to be
found in the markets and in boarding
houses. Some of them can boast of
great deal of spring experience-in fact
they are as springy as "injin rubber"
Assold in the market au uncertain but
interesting bird is the spring chicken.
We remember making purchase of q
fowl which the dealer assured us was
"young 'un." 1t did look nice. We
took it home and had it fried. We
found, after two hoHrs hard work, that
it certainly was a pull it. Then we had
it boiled, then roasted, and fed it to the
dogs. More than forty springs had pass
ed over that chickens head. The huck-
ster who would thus defraud confding
public should be fed On just such spring
chickens. 1t wouldn't take more than
four days mastication to bring him to
his knees, We'll bet.

A NARROW ESCAPE.-As the James
Rees was returning from the Sons of
Vulcan picnic on Monday evening, a
skif' containing two Germans, both
decidedly under the benzinical intiu-
ence, ran Immediately under her guards.
One of the men jumped out of the boat
as she struck the steamer and swan for
shore, The other was knocked down
into the skiff as she went under the
guards, but managed to grasp seme-
thing to keep the skiff from going into
the steamers wheel. The Rees was
stopped Immediately, and the man ex-
treated from his perilous position. 1t
was a very narrow escape from death.
But foot further and the frail craft
would have been broken to splinters
under the steamers wheel.
