THE loss of the steamer Rebecca is Sc
verely felt by all who travel by river or
were concerned in shipments. She was
fine steamer and her appointments
were of the best. Her officers were
among the best and most efficient on
the river, besides being gentlemenly and
urbane in their treatment of passengers
We hope they will soon have new
boat. The disaster was occasioned by a
barge, used by the r r. Company in
building the bridge at Parkersburg. 1t
was tied in such manner that it would
swing into the channel; it being very
dark the Pilot could not see it and
struck it, the force of the steamer being
such that she ploughed right under and
sunk inside of three minutes, drowning
seven persons One of our townsmen
was aboard, in his state room and with
the greatest difficulty succeeded in
reaching the "hurricane deck" / un-
derstand the owners of the boat have
entered suit against the Railroad Com
pany.
THE river has fallen sufficient to show
the wrecks of the baraes sunk against
the piers of the Railroad bridge, one of
them being fairly in the channel on the
ripple, causing serious difficulty to nav
igation.
Mr.. NICoLL is erecting an establish
ment in connection with his Jaw Mill
and Planning Machine, for making door
frames, window frames and sash, and
work of that description generally.
Mr.. JACOB HEATHRRINGToN is turn
ing his large concrete barn into dwell
ings: he will make eight comfortable
tenements of it. The demand for houses
is SO pressing and immediate as to rem
this necessary
ANTICIPATIoNS of a heavy accession
to our population and material wealth
in the shape of manufacturing establish
ments are INDUCED in by the our citi-
zens, and the probability is that they
will be realized. Our advantages in tha.
respect are attracting attention in quar-
tiers where there is ability to make them
available. Among the many good in
vestments that might lie made here, one
of the best would be first-class Woolen
Factory. Where one is properly and
sensibly conducted the profit is large,
and besides it would create market for
wool that now goes East We have a
large and increasing home market for
woolen goods that might as well be
supplied here as elsewhere.
Nothing of special interest has trans
pired the past week of a local nature,
we have mud plenty, which our citizens
keep well stirred up. Business of all
kinds is flourishing. Hopefulness
energy and thrift being the order of the
day, good results cannot but follow.

CompIaInts.-We have heard a number OF
comp plants from subscribers, that their papers
are given out by postmasters 10 other persons,
who fail to deliver them Two subscribers at
one Office have discontinued their paper be-
cause through this practice they scarcely ever
get them. Posimasters should be careful not
to give out papers except TO subscribers or persons
authorized By them to take them out, and persons
who are in the habit of taking a neighbor's paper
from the Office in order to read il and then neg
lecG to send it to its owner ought to know that
they are guilty of very mean offense. 1t is bad
enough to sponge your reading matter, for if
you like the paper well enough to read it. you
ought 10 be willing to pay for copy for your
own use; but to read paper at another mans
expense and then cheat him out of the paper, is
an act of meanness that ordinary thieves would
be ashamed of.
1t is not surprising that everybody wants to
read the CHRONICLE, for it is conceded TO be the
best paper published in the county, but it is
surprising that persons who have intelligence
enough to appreciate this fact should not have
candor and liberality enough to pay tor the
reading of it. Come, gentlemen, send us your
names and you will then enjoy the reading
much better than you do now.

The word "Bacchus," over the spelling OF
which the Gazette's correspondent, "citizen,"
seems to be greatly excited, was misspeiled IN
this Office and our correspondent is not at all
responsible for 1t. Citizen" ought to know all
about the spelling ofhis favorite deity's name
1.-THE editor OF the Gazette will examine the
CHRosIcLE this week he will find another letter
from our "nameless" correspondent, 'Subscrl-
ber,n and by carefully reading 1t he Will also
find that, whether we know who he is or not
he knows who that editor and his "citizen" are.
We will say, however, that the writer OF these
letters is a worthy citizen of Flushing Town
ship, "whose shoe latchet" these swapping ours
are mot worth to unloose." He seeks TO break
down and destroy the power of that infamous
traffic that ruins and degrades and destroys the
young men of our land, and they defend and

Ohio, Nov. 81 1863. Henry P. Guthrie. in the
nth year OF his age
Thus n IS passed from our midsts one OF the
links which connect the present with the past.
The deceased was native of Virginia, born in
King andQueens County, on the 23rd of Feb
ruary, =. u. 1893. Emigrated TO Ohio, and SET
tied in Mt Pleasant in 1873. 9e was worthy
represen Iative of Virginia in her purer .and
better days-the days when her politicians We're
not demagogues; when love of liberty and pa
triotisn were the watch word of the old Nir-
ginia gentleman.
Mr.. Guthrie possessed mind of universal
vigOr, well cultivated, and of an especially en-
curing turn; his memory was well stored with
the material facts in the early history of our
government. and with the principles of our
early statesmen. he was thoroughly conver-
sanfs He was a Democrat of the old school. Or
ten in the thirty years of our acquaintance has
the writer conversed with him on the political
issues of the day, and as often did Mr.. g. refer
to the early history of the democratic party
with PRIDE always apologising for the acts of
modern democracy by reference to the glori-
Gus past and to the cardinal principle of equal
and exact justice to all men, upon which the
party was based. In him was eXemplified the
well known line of Pope.

Your Home Paper.-An exchange says
Take your home paper; it gives you more
news ofimmedate interest than New York or
other papers; it talks for you when other local
tiles belle you; it stands up for your rights;
you always have a champion in your home pa
per, and those who stand up for you should GER
tainly be sustained. Your interests are kindred
and equal. and you must rise or fall together
Therefore it is to your interest to support your
home paper, not grudgingly, but in liberal
spirit; as pleasure, not as a disagreeable duty,
but as an investment which will amply pay the
expenditure"
