RosnERY ON THE CARs.-We are in.
formed that Mr. George Price, residing
in Maryland, near Orleans road. while
travelling in the cars Of the B. & o. R.
R, East, disposed himself to rest, and
while sleeping, clhoroform was admins
tered to him, and he was robbed Of
$3.50. No clue to who these successful
anesthetic practitioners are, has as yet
been obtained.-Morgan Mercury.
Our neighbors along Fishing Creek
and especially the cav mills of New
Martinsville, have sustained great loss
by the high water Of the last few days.
The boom giving away up the creek
many logs made their escape down the
river, the loss Of which will be felt not
only by the immediate losers, but
many others in our neighborhood, must

HORSES Losr.-On Sunday last, q
horse belonging to DR.. j. H. Hunter, of
this place, died under very singular cir
cumstapces. For some days previous
he was observed to be lame, with a
small puncture wound on the fleshy
part of the right side, as if made by a
sharp instrument. 1t was not consider
ed dangerous, but continued swelling,
until, on Sunday, the poor animal died.
On examination, nothing was revealed,
save hole running obliquely to the
thigh-bone, and taking an upward
course, through the flesh to point
near the vertebre. How the wound
was received is yet profound mystery,
On Sunday morning last, fine large
horse, belonging to Mr.. Fiske, of this
place, was riding at slow gait to
Friendship church, and was observed to
sink with convulsive spasms on his hind
feet, until at last the spasmodic action
extended to the entire legs, causing him
to sink, and drag his extremities behind
him. All that could be suggested was
done for the poor creature, but he died
on Tuesday last in apparent agony:
This is a singular case, and throughout
exhibited strong symptoms Of paraly'
sis.-Morgan Mercury.

CONSIDERABLE anxiety is manifested
in Washington city to know what course
the Democratic Senators will adopt in
relation to the British treaty. A two
thirds majority is necessary for its ratl-
fication and the probability is that 1t
cannot be adopted without at least a
portion of the Democratic vote. In
fact the whole responsibility of its rati'
fication or rejection will probably rest
upon the shoulders oil the Democratic
Senators. The press and people OF the
country do not seem to be satisfied with
the terms of the treaty, and the general
impression is that the English commits
sioners have quite outwitted the Amer
lean members OF the commission
and that, instead Of the balance
of the international account be-
ing altogether in our favor, as we
have all along believed, this treaty puts
the boot on the other leg and obliges
us to pay England something by way OF
settlement. The officials at Washing
ton seem to have been dazzled by the
presence of a double-barrelled Earl and
sundry Lords of the British realm and
in their excessive toadyism, TO have
Welded whatever was asked. True, one
of the Commissioners styles himself and
his associates American citizens Of
equal social and political distinction
with member Of her Majestys Cabl-
net and the mobiles of the Empire, but
the American politicians quietly sub
mitted to a very neat and extensive
swindle at the hands Of these English
EQUALS.

that the poem was rejected by the Pitts.
burgh papers, as our neighbor incau'
tiously asserts. 1t was published by the
Post and the Dispatch, and probably by
Others, and has been published all over
the country by editors whose views Of
newspaper enterprise, or whose critical
acumen did not quite come up to the
standard of the Wheeling Intelhgencer.
The New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Cincinnati, Chicago and ST. Louis
papers stand condemned.
And so it goes. Up to last Saturday
when the Mtslhgsncer began to wake
from its protracted and proverbial slum.
Der, our telegraphic report averaged
nearly two columns daily more than
that paper had ever published. That
it is nov struggling to furnish news to
its readers, is solely the result Of a COM
petition for which the thanks of the
public are due to the REGISTER alone.
Our arrangements are such that we can
still excel the htslHgsncer every day
both in quantity and quality Of news
furnished, whether it be foreign or do
nestle, and we propose to continue
ahead as heretofore. Let the readers
of both papers judge between us.
We are now, and have been tor sew
eral weeks, receiving dispatches from
the American Press Association, q
comparatively new organization, but
we'll established and having competent
agents in all the cities of the United
States and in Europe. The Intelligence
receives its dispatches from the new:
company known as the Associated
Press. The former uses the wires Of
the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany, and the latter those OF the West
ern Union. There is friendly rivalry
between these several associations and
as in all cases Of the kind, the public
receives the greater benefit.

THE PRESS REPORTS.

The readers of the IntelR9encer owe
us thanks for squirting our slow coach
contemporary to at least squirt OF news
paper enterprise and activity. For two
mornings past, that paper has publish
ed a pretty fair report of news received
by telegraph and, as consequence, the
self important old hen cackles prodi-
giously and calls the whole world to
admire the egg. As in duty bound, we
proffer our congratulations and trust
that our friend may live long and pros
per.
For at least two weeks past, the SUI
periority of the REGISTER S dispatches
over those published by the htelhigen'
Ger, has been noticed by those who saw
both papers, and was frequently made
the subject of remark. Our dispatches
were both fuller and later than those
of our neighbor. A few instances may
be mentioned by way of illustration
The result Of the recent election in the
District of Columbia was published in
the REGISTER twenty-four hours
earlier than in any other pa.
per in the State On last
Wednesday morning we published a
full account Of the Miners Riot and the
murder of workmen in Pennsylvania,
which did not appear in the IntelHgencer
until Thursday. And even yesterday
morning when the Intelligsncsr publish
ed the full report which was the subject
of its boast, its report OF the Miners In
surrection was only about half of that
which appeared in the Register, the lat,
ter containing many later and very i'm
portant facts. On last Friday morning
we published a full and circumstantial
account of the MAoE-CoBURN .fasco
which was copied. almost literally, in
the Geographic columns of the Intel
kgeneer, on Saturday.
On Saturday morning last, our neigh
Dor commenced taking the full Associ,
ated Press report, and nov alleges that
he threw out BRET HARTE's poem before
the Society of the Army of the Potomac
at Boston, as unworthy of publication.
That will do to tell to the marines! II
that was intended as stroke of jour
nalistic enterprise, it certainly has the
merit of novelty. The poem was much
sought after on Saturday by luckless
subscribers of the Intslligencer, and the
only paper containing it was even more
than usually in demand. Nor is it true

Game OF Grants Friends Blocked at
Boston.

The Presidents party was rather bad
ly beaten in nice little fight at Boston
for Commander Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic. Logan, who is not very
warm in his affection for the Grant
military ring, did not want to be re-
elected as Commander, and he didn't
want, as the report goes, any of the
Grant crowd elected. Pleasanton was
anxious to serve in Logans place, and
the President was willing. Chapman
also wanted to be Commander, he being
also a friend of the President but
Pleasanton was the Grant candidate, 80
it was understood. Burnside, not an
ardent admirer Of the President, was
also candidate, but did not have votes
enough. Logan, however, threw his
weight into the balance, and Burnside
carried off the honors. How can he be
punished
