We answer in tho affirmative a; for our
wagon. bills to Weston now amount to
$4,000 per aunum, and it is very
reasonable 10 suppose the extra freights
from this point, and tho passengers
and mails, will equal that sum. Thil
will represent q capital Of ono million
dollars at six per cent. Tho narrow
guage road to Clarksburg or Bridge

sand dollars per milo. In fact, con

From Chelsea

We had little excitement here on
Saturday, in which q rascal from
Brooklyn named Dillman Blackwood
was the chief character. He CAME
here Friday evening, putting up with
our Rev. landlord of the Elkhorn
house, and in consideration OF the
free hospitality extended to him, he
stole the landlords cigars, for which
the latter talked of having him ar.
rested, but concluded the matter was
too trifing.
His next operation was to 60 to
Rawsoh's wagon-shop, and borrow
| saw, a chlsel and mallet. promising
to return them in about twenty min
utes, representing that he had small
job to do at the hotel. But instead
Of going to the hotel, he made speedy
tracks westward on the railroad.
After the true state of affairs was
known, Mr.. Rawson, by the aid of q
switt.footed mule overlook the
would.be carpenter, about two miles
west of here, brought him back to
| town and secured his tools. A crowd
gathered around, and many were the
suggestions as to what WAS best to be
done with the offender. The rever.
end gentlemen who had lost the ci
gars proposed that il the crowd was
willing, he would give the young
man thrashlng aud then let him go.
But the young man coolly informed
him that was game at which two
could play, whereupon his reverence
concluded the best plan was to let
him 60 first.
Mr.. Rawson acted on the plan of
retu' ming good for evil, took the
young lad home with him, gave him
his dinner, and sent him on his way
rejoicing. THIS time he took the op.
posite direction, going toward Belle
PLANE, and after he had been gone
some time our reverend landlord dis.
covered that his best boots were
gone and an old pair left In their
stead, he losing about five dollars by
the trade that somebody had made
without consulting him. Blackwood
had informed Mr.. Rawson that he
had made the exchange. An infor.
nation was filed before Esq. Roach.
q warrant issued aud placed in tho
hands OF constable Littler, but he
has not found the youngster yet. It
has since been discovered that be had
also stolen the landlor ds gloves.
This young man says he is %. years
old but he does not look TO be over
eighteen.
There are persons here who are &C.
quainted With him, and who say he
has a mother living in Brooklyn
that he is note d as a thief; that he
has been arrested several times, but
again released for the sake OF his
mother.

cttixen's Savings Bank
Again.

EDlrok CnRoNlcLE - One week
ago to day it was decided by those
who iial been interested IN tho es
tabiishmcnt Of bank in this place,
to organize q Savings Bank, with a
capital Of one hundred thousand dol.
lars. OF this, you are already aware,
but Id order that the many may be &C.
qualnted with tho fact, this commu.
nication is addressed to you, Not
withstandins the prophecies of a
few individuals, whose wisdom they
being the judges) is past comprshen-
sion, that large number OF men
could net possibly establish an or.
ganization that would be sound, the
many believe in their ability TO in.
corporate as wisely as if few should
concoct some scheme, and then COM
pei all to Adopt their peculiar views.
Today we have fifty names on our
subscription list, comprising nearly
every business man, attorney and
mechanic in town, aud number OF
the best farmers in this vicinity, with
Seventy ,60s ThoMsand dollars Of the
stock pledged. We think this is
glory enough for one week, and do
not care to place more OF the stock
IN town. The balance we desire to
distribute through the county, among
good men, in order to get additional
interest enlisted in the bank when
fully established. In order that far.
mers outside OF this immediate vi.
entity may have chance to take q
little stock, / call attention thus pub.
licly to the enterprise. OF course it
is impossible to explain fully the mi.
nutia in the small space you can al
low me. will only say that the
Bank is to be an incorporation under
the laws OF our State; that every
stock holder will have voice in the
adoption Of articles OF Incorporation;
that we have secured the advice and
assistance OF eminent bankers, and
that every effort will be made to or
ganize an institution that will be a
credit to our town and county; one
also that will be benefit to those
interested, and q convenience to all.
Any person desiring a little stock,
and wishing more particular inform.
alton will be fully advised OF the aim
and object Of the organization, if
they will call upon me or any OF the
gentlemen connected with the enter.
prise. Please call particular attention
to the fact that meeting OF the
stock holders will be held on Tues.
day next, April 18th, at one o'clock,
?. M, ia the Court room, at which
time the Committee appointed to
draft Articles OF incorporation will
submit their report.
Respectfully,

Several disadvantages have hinder
ed the desired progress OF our schools
during the past term; prominent
among which are, first tho severity
of the winter storms and cold sec
ond, smoking Aues, and wood cover
ed with Zoe, sleet and snow, so that
some of the departments were cheer
less and uncomfortable at times, in
spite Of all that the teachers could
do.
These facts suggest the imperative
need of a wood house, and the ne
cessity OF empl oyng janitor, who
shall make it his business to carry
fuel, and attend to the fires. especial
ly during the winter term.
AS an item of iterest to all, l will
say that, at the commencement Of
the term, friend of good schools
offered d prize to the pupil of the
higher department, whose class rec
ord showed the greatest advancement
in scholarship during the term. The
prize consists Of fine gold pen and
a silver extension holder. A star
designates the name OF the schola,
who received it.
One other pupil has the same av.
! ciage, but was not in attendan &C
during the latter part OF the term.

As in the past. so in tho present

ance OF strict discipline IN our schools
