THE NEW FASHION IN YOUNG DANDIEs'
CLOTHES.

THE NEW FASHION IN YOUNG DANDTEs'
CLOTHES.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Telegraph writes:
Some sweet fashions for Young men are
out. One of these is the low-necked shirt.
SO low, indeed, that the shoulder blades
are all but visible, and the Adams apple
is fully revealed, nesting in virgin purity
amid a nook of linen. The masculine
throat has been too long concealed, and,
among expressions of feminine admiration.
We may expect this autumn to hear, in ad-
dition to "What handsome teeth Mr.. So
and-sO has got, the corresponding re-
mark, " Yes, my dear, and what delicious
neck" Shirt fronts, too, are deliberately
embroidered, and lined with rose-colored
silk. At jewellers, masculine brace
lets, inscribed with memorial names and
dates, are displayed, and even handker
chief rings, for full-dress occasions. Add
TO these the Fra DiavolO hat, with peacock 5
plume, checked vest patterns of all posi-
BILE shades in combination, and patterns
for trousers, consisting of small squares
rainbow in hue, underlying larger ones
Add to these again buttons of pearl, ame-
thyst, and caTbuncle, and it will easily be
understood that the male belle is just as
'innicky' as the female one about person
al adorment. say nothing of masculine
powders and cosmetics, because this is a
theme Of which nothing is supposed to be
known; but 1 simply put the question
whether the creature who sports bracelets,
and wears low-necked shirt for the pur-
pose of displaying snowy bo-, that is,
throat, is not equally susceptible to the
Establishments dormant in rouge Ciadigre
and oxide of bismuth?

In a speech at Little Rock, on Friday
night, Gov. Clayton, of Arkansas, said
that if the present peaceful state of affairs
continued, he would recommend to the
next General Assembly to propose an
amendment to the State Constitution grant

retreuchment as a means of raising the

candidate for any Office.

THE TRUTH OF THE CASE.
JACKSONVILLE, WEST VA,
September 10th, 1869. J


Editors of the Register:
A slanderous and damaging report
having been circulated very extensively
that my wife had eloped with oHe Ed
ward Ancell, / therefore thought 1T
best to give the whole facts of the case
in order, not only that the character of
nv wife might be cleared from this foul
charge, but that an infamous rascal
might be exposed and his conduct held
up to public execration.
In the year 1868, myself and family
were residing near Jacksonville, in
Lewis county, where the above named
Edward Ancell came to my house in
destitute condition, being without any
special home or meaas of providing for
himself. He was young man, near
twenty years of age, and being friend
of his father, his mother being dead, l
extended to him the hospitalitiss of my
house, little thinking that / was nour-
ishing foul viper who would turn and
sting the hand that had provided him
with the comforts of home. He re-
NAMED an inmate of my house, and
was provided with all comforts and
conveniences enjoyed by the members
of my family, until the latter part or
the past summer, when l was so unfor-
tunate as to lose my house and all its
contents by fire. By this accident was
left homeless myself, and having no re-
latons in this country, | concluded 1T
was best to sell off all my remaining
property and 90 to Ohio, where my
wife's people reside. AS this would re-
quire some time, determined to send
my wife Immediately, and follow my
self as soon as could close up my af-
fairs. Accordingly, 1 disposed Of what
property could, and having realized
about $500. gave it to my wife and
started her to her friends in Ohio.
And now comes the treachery of this
migrate. He said that he intended to
90 to Grafton where his brother was at
work, and offered to take charge of my
wife and children as far as Clarksburg,
and see them safely on the cars. They
left together, but instead of going to
Grafton, as he represented, he went on
to Parkersbnrg, at which place, through
the mistaken confidence of my wife, he
obtained possession OF her pocket book
and took al the money it contained, and
a valuable watch belonging to me, aud
left her and her children without as
sistancc: Since then he has not been
heard of. My wife, after great trouble,
arrived at her friends, in Ohio, and i'm
mediately communicated these facts to
me. These, Mr.. Editor, are the true
facts ip relation to the whole matter,
and which show that, instead of elop-
ing with the young rascal, my wife is
now with her friends in Ohio, and that
he is in parts unknown.
| have thus written at length, be-
cause / deemed it justice to myself and
family, to expose the villainy and in
gratitude of this infamous scoundrel,
and will say, in conclusion, that hope
the time will come when he will meet
his just deserts. Yours truly,
MOSES IRACEwELL.

than this they have re.appointed the
very same Registrars for Romney,
Springfield and Gore townships that
were in Office before, in order to make a
new registration this month. This
clearly shows the absurdity and enor-
nifty of the whole thing-for if there
had been any fraud in the registration,
it must have been perpetrated either by
the Board or the Registrars, and yet the
very same parties are to make and con.
troll new registration. I think Gov.
Stevenson ought to be informed of these
facts; can't think that he would toler-
ate such acts.
We commend these documents to the
special consideration of the liberal Re-
publicans of Ohio county. While the
question of enfrauchising the rebels is
being discussed, ought not some meas.
ures to be taken to check these ouUrages
and frauds The easiest way to effect a
reform would he to induce the Governor
to turn out a few of his corrupt!onists.
Those who are enlisted in the advance
movement" may work till they drop,
but unless some check is speedily put
upon these registration abuses, their
labors will be fruitless and their time
expended in vain.
