as such. He merely sat in the court,
as a casual spectator, without taking
notes of any case. Nevertheless, his
Bow street reports were admirable,
full of life and frolic, with eOckneys
figuring them who dropped their HIS,
and Irish people using a brOgue as
thick as London November fog,
which looks as if one could cut il
with knife. By-and-by the best of
these comic reports were published,
with characteristic Sketches by George
Cruikshank, as mornings in Bow
street." and a second volume also had
great success. The fact was-each
case, as reported by Wight, was ficti-
tious, or, at least, only fashioned on
something that had actually come be-
fore the court. The magistrates en-
joyed the joke, the public laughed,
the Morning Herald doubled its Lon
don circulation, and, as a reward, Mr..
Wight was presented with One-third
interest in the paper. This secured,
which gave him a large income for
life, he never wrote another Morning
in Bow street. He had worked hard
while in dependence; he eschewed Ia
Dor when independence rewarded his
past efforts.
EsThere is an anecdOte, of which one
of our journalists, now at the sum
nit of his profession, is the hero
When he conducted q newspaper in
the West, he introduced the novelty
of reporting cases before the police
magistrate. One of these, in which a
brawny butcher, OF Teutonic race,
was brought up for administering per-
sOnal correction to his wife, had some
peculiar features which the reporter
dressed up in amusing manner. He
was sitting at his desk, when the de-
fendant, who, if not refined, had been
fined by the justice, entered the room,
in company with q huge bludgeon.
With q stentOrian voice, and in brOk-
en- English, he inquired by what right
he and his wife had been put into the
newspapers; and his manner was so
threatening that the editor, Z slight
youngster, without even a cane to use
in defence, saw how very hopeless his
case was. Keepinghis eye on the bur-
" giant, and drawing himself up in
his chair, with an air of great digini-
ty, he asked: ''DO you subscribe for
my paper?
The enemy stared, and answered that
he did not. "Then," said the editor,
triumphantly, 'Ido nOtsee what right
you have to find fault with anything
that I print in it. When youpa two
dollars, which is a years subscription,
in advance, you will have a right to
complain" This was not a very log
icaI deduction, but it hit. The man,
in very abated tone and moderated
manner, muttered, ~ will go and talk
with mine wife about this" and quit
ted the office, never to reappear in it.
The EDITORS presence of mind had saw
ed him from an assault.

COOKING COURTIyG.
TOM To NED.

Dear Ned!-So doubt you'll be surprised
When you've received and read tbs letter
I've rallied against the marriage state,
But then, you see, I knew no better.
I've met lovely girl out here,
Her manner fs-Well-very winning,
We're soon to be.-weII Ned my dear,
I'll tell you all from the beginning:
Iwent to ask her out to ride,
Last Wednesday-it was perfect weather
sbesaId she couldn't possibly,
The servants had gone OF together.
GIibeTniaus always rush away,
- cousins funerals 10 BE- looking,
Pies must De made, and she must stay,
she said, 10 do that branch o. cooking.
sob, let me help you,' then I cried:
III be a cooking too, how jollyt7
She laughed and answered with smile,
aAI right, but vcu'Il repent your folly,
For 7 shall BE- tvTGnt- sir,
And good hard work =oU'Li have 20 gTapEle
So sit down there and don't you stir,
But take the knife and Pare tho apple"
She rolled her sleeves above her ann,
That lovely arm so plump and rounded;
Outside the morning sun shCEe bright;
Inside the dough she deity pounded
Her little fingers sprinkied Goar,
and rolled the piccrust Up IL masses;
passed the most delightful hour
Mid butter, sUEa-.and mo.as5es.
With deep reflection her sweet eycs
Gazsd on each pot and pan and kettle;
she sliced the apples, filed her pies.
= And then the upper crust did settle.
Her ripping waves Of golden hair
IN orc great coil was tightly twisted
But lOcEs would B-eaEit, here and there,
And curl about yFhere'er they listed.
And then her sleeve came down andI
Fastened It up-her hands were doughy,
On, It did take the longest time,
Her arm, Ned, was so fair and snowy!
She bIushed, and treInbled and looked Shy
Somehow. that made me all the bolder;
Her arch lips looked so red thatI
Well-fOund her head upon my shoulder.
We're to be married, Ned, next month:
Come and attend the wedding reyeIs.
/ really think that bachelors
Are the most miserable devilsI
You'd better 90 for some girls hand;
And ifyOu are uncertain whether
You dare TO make a due demand.
Why, just try cooking pies together.

~ Gen. Morgan, of Ohio, in a
recent speech In Congress, said
"Of all schemes Of legalized plunder
since the world began the scheme of
national banking in the United
States is the most indefensible, and
the most infamous" If these insti-
tutions be so infamous, why don't
Gen. Morgan make an Ineligible
showing of it? But not a fact of the
kind does he furnish. He simply
makes the assertion, and there it
ends. Banks are necessity-the
business interests of the country re-
quire them-and we know of no bet
ter system than the present one. If
Gen. Morgan has better one, let
him propose it.

manner of celebrating it. Business
was generally suspended.
At Porter the Good Templars, as
per announcement, held their pic
mic. They occupied a pleasant
grove, and there was a large gather

exercises were appropriate and in

those pleasant social reunions which
the memory long holds in agreeable
remembrance. Between 5000 and
1000 were assembled in and around
the town.

E The weather, since last We'd
nesday, has been sitting hot. The
thermometer registering from W.
to 4oin the shade and, generally,
1909 in the sun. On Wednesday
evening the atmosphere cooled down
a little. and heavy clouds sbrouded
the western and southern horison,
vivid lightning and sharp, cracking
peaIs Of thunder resounded in every
quarter. One especially, appeared in
unpleasant proximity to our domi-
Giles, and did, in fact. strike the
ground about the middle of the
Square, tearing it up considerably,
but net to such an extent as might
have been expected. The "pluvial
indication" however passed off
without the wished for and much
required rain, as far as Gallipolis
was concerned, and reserved its IA
vors for the Kanawha and that sec
ton. There was very heavy rain
storm in and around the western
portion of the county, so much SO
as to swell the creeks to such an
extent as to become unfordable at
some points. One gentleman, Mr..
JACOB WHITE, in attempting to
pass across Beaver Creek, tributa-
ry of Raccoon, with a Wagon and
team, got into difficulty by some
means and lost both his horses and
a calf which was in the Wagon.
On the whole, however, rain is only
partial and is much required by the
farmer, and the corn is consequent
ly, unusually, backward, the oats,
shot into full ear, very stunted, po
tatces looking sickly, and all but
wheat and rye which are good and
seem to languish for mois-
ture.
Since writing the above, we have
had the desired rain, and every
hing looks lovely.

DRowNED.--A young man named
Peter Massar, aged twenty three
years, was drowned at the Coalport
wharf at noon yesterday. He was
employed on coal barge, and in at
tempting to step to another barge,
with one end of a cable in his hand,
he somehow missed his footing, and
fell between the two into the river.
At that moment the steamer Ohio
came up outside of the two barges,
crowding them closely together, so
that poor Massar was unable to rise,
and there he was drowned. The
body was recovered about fifteen
minutes after, and thorough but un-
availing effort made to resuscitate
the vital spark, but it had fled

The Railroad.

OF the work in Vinton county, the
Macarthur Record speaks as below,
and in addition adds some sensible
suggestions to those who have the
means and who have not yet sub
scribed to the stock of the company.
Read them:
Mr.. Davis has commenced solicit
ing subscriptions here. He has done
the principle part of his work thus
far with men who have bat little
property, are in moderate circum.
stances, and therefore have not as
much rnonied interest at stake as
others. He has been very success
full, and if men OF property respond
as literally, we have q sure thing on
the railroad. We believe they will.
They know the benefit the road will
be to them and they must not expect
the poor man to drag their lands into
market. Loose your purse strings.
Do something for the benefit of the
public. You can't stay here always,
and You can't take your money or
your land to heaven with you, so let
it go about the country doing good,
and it will return to you, and your
children and the public will rise up
and bless you as public benefactor.
Let each one give according to his
means, remembering that the more
we give the better we make the
stock, as the company will then be
placed beyond any possible financial
troubles in the first building of the
ROAD. Never mind your neighbor.

IMPORTANT SALK.-We understand
that Mr.. L. W. Melton recently sold a
tract of land lying on Elk river, about
two and half miles from this place,
containing 99 acres, for $4,000
Messrs. Huling and Broekerhoof were
the purchasers. The same parties pur-
chased a lot containing two and half
acres, adjoining the above, Of Mr.. G..
B. Melton, for SfO0. These lands sold
a few years ago at prices varying from
fifteen to fifty dollars per acre. This
shows that real estate is increasing in
value in this vicinity, and we hope soon
