Judges Hall and Melvin seem to have

in trying Harrington for the murder OF
man IN Centre Wheeling with coal
pick, the latter has been trying Moore
for the murder of Heck in Charles
town.-Bsrksley Union.

touches. Commencing at Charleston,
our capital, and continuing through St.

Huntington, you can scarcely hear any
thing but the sound of saw and ham,

three bears; Charley Harper was out
also, at the same time, and killed three.
Las, week they went out and killed two
