FAIR PLAY.-The Gazette copies a
notice of our new School House from
the BelIaire Advertiser. and makes its
appearance the occasion of lauditory
article on tDO of the Directors. This
School House was commenced and all
the plans matured when only one OF the
gentlemen eulogized was in the Board,
and it is little singular that the Ga
zette has no word of commendation for
Messrs. Collins and Martin, who were
majority of the Board when the work of
getting up plans and specifications and
making the contracts was nearly all
done. We apprehend that the only
reason why these gentlemen are slighted
is that they do not belong to the Gazette
clique.
How far Messrs. Chambers and Swa-
ney are entitled to credit for building a
School House at cost of over $50, 600,
that could and should have been built,
with all the school accommodations that
this one possesses and be otherwise un-
encountered, for $4,000, we will discuss
next spring when new School Directors
are to be elected.

BelIaire Locals.

The Society whose efforts are especi-
ally directed against cruelty to animals
should give a vote of thanks to the Di-
rectory of the B. & o. R. r., for the pro-
vision they have made for the comfort
and preservation in good order of the
Stock upon their Road. Among other
wise things done, is the erection of their
Stock Pens near our place; they are
large and calculated to accommodate a
vast amount of stock comfortably
Large covered pens to protect the stock
from the heat of summer and the storms
of winter, with places for feeding and
watering that are complete in their de-
tails. Their arrangement for water are
upon large scale, and would not be a
bad beginning for Water-Works for
the town. In fact, farmers and stock
dealers can rest assured that everything
is provided to keep their stock in good
order until it reaches market, and under
the efficient management of Mr.. John
Christy. These provisions will not be
in vain.
The delightful weather of last week
has stimulated the business men into
unusual activity. Building is more en-
ergetically prosecuted and things in
general gave lively look.
The past week has been barren of any
incidents that would be interesting to
the public at large. either 'strange," I"
.painful," or alarming, )" but when the
political ball shall open we may look for
something that may be worth telling.

AT the meetings held at Wheeling
Valley, Wheeling township, and How
ellis School House, Union township,
on Friday and Saturday evenings last,
we were well pleased with the attend
ance. At the Wheeling Valley meeting
there was the largest turnout of voters
we ever saw in that School House. At
the Howelrs School House meeting,
Notwithstanding the bills were mis-
sent, the announcement was made for
the wrong School House, and two reli-
gious NEE tings were being held within
a mile of the place of meeting, there was
an excellent turnout.
These meetings were in strange con-
trast with the meetings advertised for
Messrs. Clark, Alexander and others on
the same and subsequent evenings. Mr..
Clark failed entirely to get meeting at
either of his appointments, at Vancu-
ren's School House, Union township,
and at Martins Ferry, Pease township ;
and Mr.. Alexander had very slim
turn-eut at Beech Hill, Richland town.
ship. Gentlemen, if you want to get
anybody to talk :oin this campaign, you
had better agree TO our proposal for joint
meetings.

The insurance of human life attracted
9gt little attention in this-country until
within comparatively a recent period,
out IL is nnw rapidly increasing, and has
already assumed magnificent proper
tions. From au examination of the last
annual report of ofSuperintendent Barnes,
of New York. it appears chat the amount
now al risk by life associations trsnsact-
ing business ia that State, is about
dou bi. what it was three years ago, and
is nearly one half of the amount insured
agai 1T loss oy fire, i'll the various Fire
Insurance COMPANIES. This progress
af,iies dixie the prudence, wisdom and
n..aesuleice of the American people,
Among Lne most Successful OF Tie cohi-
panies. and one winch seems iii re-
.uark able degree to nave Won popular
iaror is the National Life INSURANCE
COMPANY, of the United States of
America. Its first years business Is just
eoncluded, and in amount several lold
exceeds that transacted jn its first year,
| by any other life insurance company in
the world That the. business already
done is safe and judicious for the Com
pany is evidenced by the TACT, that the
persons insured are scattered among all
thc States of the country, so that no
single epidemic or contagion can meas
urably affect the risk incurred, and that
the agencies are SO widely scattered and
so well established, is All earnest and a
surety that the second years business of
the Company will far surpass that of its
| first year. We know the character OF
the Company, of the gentleman having
it in charge, and congratulate our people
THAT they have the opportunity of secur-
ing at so very reasonable rates, insur-
ance so absolutely safe.
