FROM WETzEL COUNTY.
A Fuller Accounted the Outrages.
The Reign Of Terror Perfect
WHO SHALL ENFORCE The LAWS?

We yesterday met gentleman who
has been stopping for some time in Wet
gel county. He informs us that the
gang of twenty or twenty-five outlaws,
organized under the lead of Jennings
(not Jenkins, as we had it), is ruling
the county, doing pretty much as they
please. c.se.
The people hold them in great terror.
If one be asked why the ruffians are not
captured, he will tell you that he dare
not move in the matter for fear his prop
erty will be burned; another says, If l
open my mouth they will shoot me;
third says, it would be as much as my
life and property are worth to do any
thing. ..
A boy, who eaw the party who shot
George Forbes, running from the scene
of the attempted robbery and murder,
was inGiscreet enough to tell what he
had seen. He was caught and hung by
his suspenders to tree limb until De
promised to keep silence in regard to
what he had seen. When cut down the
boy was almost dead.
Several parties have been driven from
the county who have made themselves
obnoxious to these outlaws.
They do not hesitate to take what
they want, even in broad daylight. Inc
house of a Mr. Bickerten was robbed IN
the presence of three of the male mem
bers of the family, who were grateful
that their lives were not taken.
1t is mebody's duty to put stop to
these outrages. If the power is no.
where else, the Governor should inquire
into the facts of the case, and if one
half of the reports are true, interpose
the power of the State to protect inno-
cent men in their lives and property.
As things are now, travel is almost sus-
pended, for no mans life is safe.
1t is we'll known to the authorities
that the bandits who are perpetrating
these outrages are convicts who still
owe "the State some service" and that
all those who escaped from Moundsville
are members of the gang. Whose duty
is it to take themi

THE STREET CAR QUEsTIoN.-The
question of the duty of masculines to-
wards ladies in crowded street cars is
Just now being discussed through the
Eastern papers. From an attentive Pc
rusal of the arguments on the question
whether among other rights the ladies
are entitled to stand up in a crowded
car, we are firmly of the opinion that
they have right to staud-if they want
TO.
We always side with ladies.
If, on the contrary, she wants to sit
down, and we are in the car, we shall
always maintain that it is the duty of
some other chap to give her seat. If
the other chap don't do it, We should
settle ourself costly on our seat and
blush for the want of chivalry in our
sex.
There is an idea abroad that if gen
tleman gives up his seat to lady she
should thank him for it. Ladies, don't
do it. If you do they will expect to be
thanked. Stick up for your rights and
stand on your dignity.
1t is good thing to stand on if you
shouldn't get seat. But you have an
inalieable right to a seat when you can
get it.
There is no doubt bot that the fash
ionable style of pantaloons have done a
great deal in assisting our young men
to be chivalrous. They are so tight the
bows have been afraid to sit down for
fear of consequences.
Our conclusions are unalterable that
a lady has perfect right to seat in a
crowded car, if she can get one and that
she is not obliged to thank the man
who tired and wern with days work,
perbaps, or the fellow who suffers the
torments of tophet from tight boots,
who stands up that she may be COM
Portable. It's not the fashion to do it,
anyhow.

The charge of disorderly conduct pre-
ferred against Thomas Mclaughlin was

Thomas and a party of Others went to
the house of a family by the name of
of Ratcliff, on the Island, and with a
board threatened to break in the door,
and made such noises as to put the Rat
cliff family in mortal terror aud disturb

WINTER EvERGREENs.-Ala lady who

full and easily attained show of ever
green's may be had by a very simple
plan, wn.ch has been found to work re-
markably well or small scale. Tiger
anium branches taken from luxuriant
and healthy trees just before wintersets
in, be cut as for slips and immersed in
soap water, they will, after dropping a
few days, shed their leaves and put
forth new ones, and continue in the
finest vigor all winter. By placing a
number of bottles thus filed in flower
basket, with moss to conceal the bottles,
show of evergreens is easily secured
tor winter. All the different varietie,
of the plant being used, the various
shapes and colors of the leaves blend
into beautiful effect. They require nc
fresh water.

TALKED TOO Much. There is no
earthly doubt but that some people
''talk to moch wiz dere mouse" as the
said, and get into trouble
as a consequence. Yesterday Mrs. 4.
Schopper was before Squire Hammer
charged with using disorderly and in
sulting language. The charge was
fully made out, and the justice had de-
cided to require her to give bond for
good behavior, in the sum of twenty
Ave dollars, came to grief when she
she talked too much. She let her
temper get the better of her, called one
of the witnesses liar and accused her
Of perjury. Squire Hammer instantly
changed his mind about the matter.
He fined Mrs. S. SO and costs, and re-
quired her to give bond in the sum OF
500 for her good behavior during the
wear.
