RIVER NEWs.-We have no improve
ment to note in business on the land
ing. The arrival of the Hudson, yes
terday, made a small ripple on the
dullness prevailing, but 1t soon passed

The only arrivals here besides The
Hudson were those of the local packets.
Several tugs passed up with lows OF

last evening was about seven feet, six
inches at Pittsburgh, yesterday morn

The Salado is being thoroughly over
hauled. Her cabin is being extended,
and in the course of few weeks she
will look like new boat. We believe
it is the intention, when she is fully
repaired, to send her to la Boeuf river
the same trade in which she spent
last winter. 1t is said that she paid
her owners handsomely, anu is very
popular along that river. Weare graft

CANE PREsENTAT1oN.-The lawyers
of the Ohio County Bar have been for
some time in the predicament OF ship
without rudder, on account OF the
continued i'll health of Judge Caldwell.
Their efforts to secure presiding OIL
Ger were successful, the Hon. c. j.
Stuart, of the Doddridge Judicial Cir
cult, kindly offering to take charge OF
the Court for a brief term In the
place of his ailing brother. The term
has been very busy one, the
good feeling and harmony between
the Bench and Bar which has prevailed
being noticeable. The lawyers OF the
county, therefore, desiring to make the
Court sensible of their appreciation OF
his voluntary services to them, selected
handsome and seryiceable cane as
fitting testimonial of their feelings to-
wards him.
Last evening, Immediately after adj
journment of the Court, the majority oil
the Bar being present, Nat. Richardson,
Esq, stepped forward and addressed
His Honor In few neatly turned and
appropriate remarks, at the close oil
which, he laid the cane upon the bench.
His Honor was completely taken una
wares, and his nerves were trihe I'M
shaken, but shortly recovering his
equanimity he rose and expressed
sincere appreciation Of the compliment.
He did not consider that he had done
more than his duty in presiding In the
Ohio County Court. He was sorry that
his judicial engagements did not admit
of longer sojourn, but he would be
only too happy to return at any time
when his services would be required.
He had never in his experience upon
the Bench enjoyed the execution of his
duties more, and he would always
look upon the cane as commemorating
one of the pleasantest events of his ju'
dicial career.
The cane is of ebony with heavy
gold head OF spherical form. The in.
scription is ITO Hon. G. J. Stuart, from
the Ohio County Bar, June Term 1867

CONTRACT AwAKDED.-A few days

Court House in Kingwood, was award

proposed by them if the county seat
was permitted to remain where it had
always been.
The work on the new building will
be commenced at once. and be pushed
