THE MEETING LAST NIGHTTIME at
tended the Republican meeting at
bridgeport last night. Itwas addressed
nv Lieut.. Gov. John c. Lee and Sam
Galloway. There were present OOoVoloV
voters and perhaps as many 4aales'
Gov. Lee attempted to review Geo. H.
Pendleton's record. As well might nc
try with his repcllant breath TO pun
back the northern blast, quench IRE
with oil or silence full mouthed pat
tery with snow balls. John Lee as
reviewer of Geo. H. Pendleton After
Lee, Sam. Galway made mouths at
the people as usual. One of Sans
strong points is endeavoring to swal'
low his left ear without taking 1t OIL
The number of times we have seen Sam.
% for that ear have not reconciled us
to his frantic efforts to do it. 1t were
best to quit it Sam. You may get it
some time and then you would feel bad
going off on one ear. Arguments there
were none. Appeals to passion, mis-
representation and abuse OF the Dem
scraey only abounded.

THEATRE.-There was a fine attend
ance at v lshington Hall last night and
the programme gave immense satisfac-
ton. The play of the Factory Girl was
given finely. Mrs. Seften's Martha
Gibbs was a fine piece of acting. We
must congratulate Mr.. Haviland on
his Jaspar Plum. 1t was never played
better. The Great Western minstrels
were great. The singing was far beyond
the average. We must also compliment
Mr. Phil. Bixan for the splendid manner
in which he sang his ballads. Every
word could be heard even to the rear of
the hall. He has a strong, rich voice,
and understands handling it. Tonight
a splendid bill is offered for W. A. Gregs-
tons benefit. A new play, written by a
lady of Wheeling, a prize dance for q
silver cup, and rich farce are the at
fractions.

five pounds of benzine to the square

CANE PRESENTATION At GRAFTON
John W. Hooper, the popular proprietor
of the Grafton House, received very
handsome Gaming, Wednesday, at the
hands of a number of employees OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany.
About noon, on the day mentioned,
large crowd assembled at the Grafton
House to witness the presentation cere'
monies. Mr.. H. was kept in entire ig'
norance of what was going on. The
audience assembled in the large dining
room of the Grafton House, when Capt
Neptune addressed Mr.. Hooper as fol-
lows:
"MR. JOHN w. HooPER-My Dear Sr:
Il have the honor, in behalf OF your
numerous friends of the Baltimore anu
Ohio Railroad Company, to present you
this cane. Be kind enough to accept IL
as a token of our e1teem and regard
Long years hence, when your Footsteps
shall be tottering beneath the weight
of years, may it support and sustain
you. Accept it, sir, and may IL serve 10
call to memory often the recollection OF
your many friends, who Will ever be
proud to hail you proprietor OF the
Grafton House."
Mr.. Hooper, as might be expected, was
not little astonished. Being gentle
man of high sensibilities, his feelings
may be imagined, but certainly not de-
scribed. For awhile the emotions OF
his heart forbade his utterance, at
length he said:
"CAPT. Standardization There
are occasions when to attempt to de.
scribe ones feelings by words would be
an idle mockery, and in accepting this
handsome gift, | have no words ade-
quate to the occasion. Being wholly
unaware of the purpose for which was
called into the room, it is needless TO
say that | have been entirely over
whelmed. Suffice ID to say, gentlemen,
that it shall ever be duly appreciated,
not on account of its intrinsic value,
but from my high regard of the gentle
men who have presented 1T, and the
more as | am wholly unconscious OF
having merited it. Accept my warmest
and sincerest thanks, and be assured
that the latch string of the Grafton
House will always be out"
After the presentation the crowd was
invited to partake of the Inequalities
of Mr.. HIS ,rell filled store room. Upon
the whole the affair was of the most
pleasant character.
The cane presented was very heavy
and finely engraved, gold-headed, and
bore this inscription Presented to J.
W. Hooper, Esq, by his railroad friends,
Grafton, w. Va, September, 1869" The
work is well executed, and the gold of
the finest quality. 1t was made by c.
P. Brown, of Wheeling.
Captain Neptune's presentation speech
was delivered in his usual easy and
graceful style, and bore with Il the i'm
press of the utmost earnestness.
By the way, Mr.. HoOper's friends will
remember that while crossing the Ohio
river some time ago, Mr.. II. narrowly
escaped a watery grave. Mr.. II. has al
ways attributed his deliverance to the
Mystic Scroll, ," but it is now questioned
whether old Neptune had not something
to do with the affair.

SCOTCH GRANITE MONUMENTS essrs'
Muldoon, John street, between Market

bled to obtain Scotch granite direct

Mons. Bullet is one of the first Italian
sculpters, and all the imported work
the Messrs. Muldoon have in their shop
