\ hinge fight took place last week, on
Mrs. GREFNFIELD's farm north of Duck
river, between TOMAS JONES, wife OF
MILES JozEs, and SALLIE GRAY, daugh-
ter Of WHIT and ELLEN GRAY. 1t
seems that MILES has been playing

MILES took sides with the GRAY fami>

BROOKE COUNTY.

The official majority in Brooke
county against the Convention is Is,
instead of ll3 as previously reported.
That this majority is not in favor ofthe
Convention seems to be more attribute
bic to the failure of the Democrats to
vote than to the Radical strength in the
county or any detection from the Dem
ocratic ranks. Last fall, STEVENSON
received 43S votes in Brooke county, or
just ninety mine more than were cast on
the Oath of August in opposition to the
Convention but on the 9th the Dem
ocratic vote was 253 less than it was
last October. The same failure to
bring out the full vote cost us Ohio
county also and several others that
might be named. However, it's Of no
consequence" the Convention is called
at any rate, and whenever the necessity
arises for the Democratic party in Ohio
and Brooke counties to put forth its
whole strength it will be done to the con.
sternation and dismay OF the Radicals
who think there is no hereafter.

Kilfed Down.

Ask the man who complains Of "wilting
down" in torrid weather what he has done
to sustain his system under the extra strain
imposed on his vitality. He may tell you
that he has tried variety of cathartics to
purify his blood and brighten his spirits.
Under such treatment, of course, hisstrength
has given way, and his energies have be-
come exhausted. What he requires is a
restorative, and a depletant. His blood is
thin; his nerves have lost their natural
tension, and nature demands to be reno
waited and reinforced The means Is within
the reach of all. For nearly score OF
years Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been
building up broken constitutions, bracing
and strengthening attenuated frames, and
affording comfort, ease, and hope TO thou
sands. AS a preventive of the epidemics
which make such havoc with the health OF
the inhabitants of new settlements, this
famous tonic is certainly without rival.
Perhaps the principal portion OF its world
wide fame is attributable TO Its astonishing
cures OF dyspepsia, and all forms OF indi-
gestion. But these are not moiety OF its
triumphs. All the types of biliousness
yield to its persistent use. 1t Is regulating
medicine OF the highest order; and its eff
feet upon the secretions, when irregular, Is
most salutary. I'D.
Imposition Of the grossest character is
sought to be practiced upon the community
by vendors, who recommend under the
dangerous character, which they attempt to
substitute for the great national tonic. Shun
all such noStrums, and see that you have
the genuine Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
properly authenticated by label, name and
stamp, and sold in bottles only.

GOOD FOR GREENBRIER.

The official majority in Greenbrier
county for the Convention is 972, which
gets away with Mason and has forty
votes to spare. Greenbrier has done
magnifcently and we think we see old
JOE CALDWELL tearing his hair and
dropping scalding tears over his blotted
books of registration. Last fall STE
vENsoN received $50 votes in Greenbrier
and had a majority of l59. Now, 3l4
OF CALDwELL's pets (the remaining six
are probably in jaiD vote against the
Convention, but are encountered by a
solid phalanx of 1856 white men hear
ing the banner of constitutional reform.
This is one of the substantial fruits OF
the victory won last fall and in the
handsome vote cast on the Oath the
good people Of Greenbrier have shown
themselves well worthy of the struggle
that was made for their Liberation.

THE ghastly trunk mystery of New
York, which is just now the principal
sensation of that city Of horrors, fur
nishes an opportunity for word re-
specting the enormous extent to which
the other dreadful crime connected with
the murder, if murder it was. is carried
on throughout the country. According
to the highest medical authority, the
practice OF teticide prevails to an enor-
nous degree, and is rapidly increasing.
Even In Boston one woman has testi-
fled, verbally and by her ledger, to
having had over twenty thousand
patients in seventeen years, among
both married and single women, of all
grades in society. Intelligent foreign
travellers. like Tardieu ond Dixon, have
been so much struck by this ugly fea-
ture of American life, as to regard it
almost distinguishing characteristic.
During a single month, not long ago,
the police of New York reported the
finding of twenty-three dead bodies of
infants in sinks. cellars, alleyways,
under stoops, and in other places Of
concealment This startling fact is q
proof Of dreadful increase OF infanti-
eide. Not only to the moralist the
jurist and the physician, but to the
whole community, tits matter OF pain.
full and alarming interest. The only
effectusl remedy for the terrible evil is
BY thoroughly ealightening public opin'
ion on the subject and compelling the
enactment and enforcement of appro'
pirate statutes.

War ii Well.

From the Morgantown Post.l
On Tuesday last George Widows
was engaged cleaning out the White
Sulphur" well, on Mr.. Shines corner,
W lille Gen. Scott Christian, an aged
colored gentlemen, was above the ground
with rope and bucket, assisting Mr..
Widows. Scott would let down the
bucket, George would fill it with dirt,
and Scott would draw it up, by hand.
Scott, however, being a little slow In
emptying the third or fourth bucketful,
and George being anxious to finish the
job and get out of the cold, damp well,
called out, at the top Of his voice, "Gen-
eral, hurry up, and pass down the
bucketl The General, with a sudden
turn at the stern command of his en-
ployer, thought to do his work quickly,
and with sudden fling sent the bucket
whirling down the well, which, striking
widows on the head with dull, heavy
thud, almost knocked him senseless,
cutting fearful cash on his skull. With
a look Of amazement the General seen
that in the hurry he had, unthoughtedly,
thrown down the bucket instead Of let
ting it down gradually by the rope.
Then up-as it seemed from the bot
tomless pit-came a bitter cry against
Africa and all her dusky sons. Oh
that Internal niger! slam him down
here until tear him to piecesr cried
the excited and bleeding man in the
well, who, in his frenzy, seized a stone
from the bottom of the we'll and at
tempted to throw it out the mouth OF
the we'll at the trembling General. The
effort not being equal to the emergency,
the stone returned before half its in
tended mission had been spent, and,
whack! it struck Widows on the jaw
Leaping up the walls to get at the negro,
q bystander suggested to the General
that he had better "git up and git"
The African representative wisely con-
cluded that discretion was the better
part of valor," and needing the sugges-
ton, stood not upon the order Of his
going, but went at once. In an instant
the scene closed with an interesting
tableau: A dark form turning corner
suddenly, and a clenched fist reaching
for it in the distance.

Something About the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad.

!Mcssrs. Editors-Possibly the follow
ing facts concerning points Of interest
along the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road between Staunton and White Sui
phur Springs may be Of interest to
your readers. Ten miles west of Staun-
ton we pass Buffalo Gap and have fine
view of Elliott's Knob, which is prob
ably the highest mountain in Virginia,
being 400 feet (five-sixths Of mile)
above tide. The North Mountain sum-
NIT is the highest point on the perma-
nent track OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad. At Milboro' we pass through
Cady's tunnel to the temporary track,

heavy unfinished work, known as Lick
Run Fill. This fill probably the sec
ond largest in the United States) is l65
feet high, and contains more than $780,
600 cubic yards. There is fourteen
foot span arch culvert, nearly 500 feet
long, under it, to pass the waters of
Lick run. Ten miles from Mason's
tunnel is the Cow Pasture river The
channel has been changed from its orig
inal bed, to avoid two bridges. Here
we pass another tunnel, and five miles
west is Clifton Forge, the lowest point
on the railroad in the valley.
Here Jackson's river bursts through
the mountains, presenting a
grandly-imposing view.lThere is no finer
mountain views in Virginia than Cliff
ton Forge and vicinity. Four miles
above, at Jackson's River depot, the
river has been changed as the Cow
Pasture was At Covington passengers
have twenty minutes for supper. Cross.
ing Jackson's river at Covington, we
enter Dunlap's creek valley; passing

the Allegheny mountains, at a grade Of
sixty feet to the mile. Two miles above

the third largest in the United States),
1872 feet high, containing 100000 cubic
yards Passing a succession of deep
cuts, heavy fills, and three other tun-
nels, we come to the big Filr'-Jerry's
run-containing more than 100000
cubic yards, is lS5 feet high, and 100
long. Immediately west of Jerry's run
is Lewis tnnnel, 1000 feet long. A tenn
porary track is built over Jerry's run
and Lewis tunnel, the summit Of
which is 2l70 above tide. The noun
tain climber w. A. Cuper pulls us over
this track. Half a mile west Of Allie
ghany station comes Allegheny tunnel,
1900 feet long, and one mile east Of
White Sulphur Springs is White Sui
phur tunnel, making fifteen tunnels
from Richmond to White Sulphur, and
eight to be built between White Sulphur
and Huntington. Hastily

NEW HAMPSHIRE has passed q C,

New HAMPSHIRE has passed Co
ercive school law, requiring every par
ent and guardian to send their children,
between eight and fourteen, to some
public school within two miles of their
residence, for twelve weeks in each year,
under pains and penalties. The New
England mind, after the old Puritan
fashion, is great on coercion. 1t would
make men good, temperate, religious
and intelligent, all by law, and have
every thing patterned on some State
standard This is an erroneous princi-
pie, and always fails to accomplish the
end desired. ..

Our dispatches this morning give

Our dispatches this morning give
forth the rumor that General GRANT Is
about to issue proclamation Of mar
tial law over some portions ofthe South.
The dispatch is probably put forth as a
'feeler OF the public pulse, and may or
may not be followed by the outrage as
GRANT thinks most conducive to his
reelection. Does anybody really think
there is any necessity for martial law
anywhere in the United States The
country never was freer from civil dis
turbance than now, and there are alb
solutely fewer violations Of law and OF
individual right in the Southern States
to-day than in the North. These facts
are known to the whole people. Then
why this mysterious testing Of the pub
lie temper, why this manifest itching
for the substitution of the caprice OF a
military commander for the Judgment
of court Of law? Is any one so blind
as not to see in this note OF prepara'
ton for the Presidential contest next
wear?
