From tho SteubGnville Herald.
Among the many strange events that
now and then startlC the community, an
occurrence of singular and unusual char
actCr was developed yesterday. Ten
years ago an Irish labOrcr on the Pan
Handle road, by the name of Carrighan,
pitched his "shGnty' near Holidays Cove,
West Virginia, opposite this city. With
the aid Of an Industrious wife, they soon
had nice garden patch near tho pro-
posed new road, and they prOspered, the
husband and wife working and husband.

other applied because he had ''set up nights
