and expressed his Encouragement at the
progress Of unbelicf, of materiaism and
worldincss. "God has used US" he said,
"as unworthy instruments for doing great
things for Germany. For this we cannot be
sufficiently thankful; but instead Of this we
are proving our ingratitude, and provoking
the just punishment Of God" He is un-

\ TRAGEDY on BIG SEwELL.-[ Grccnbricr
West Nirgnia) independent. IA serious
affair took place on Sunday the 18th of Au-
gust on Big SeweIl Mountain, i'll Fayctte
county. The facts rs we have been enabled
to gather them, are as follows-namely,
James William Sharp, son Of John and Re-
becca Sharp, on the evening of the day above
mentioned. walked out ahead OF his three
other brothers up the road. As the three
boys were about half mile behind, they
heard two of Mr.. Tincher's boys call Willie,
and he was heard to answer them. In about
two minutes afterwards the report Of Il pis-
toll was heard all over the neighborhood,
and in about five minutes there was heard
fearful shrieks.
A number of the citizens of the neighbour
hood reached the spot in Il short time and
found Willie Sharp dead, with pistol-shot
in his breast. The Tinchcr boys say that
Willie shot at sugar-tree, and that the ps-
toll flew out of his hand. 1t was 4 double
barrel pistol. There was bullet sticking in
the bark of the tree, about one-third buried
in the same. The Tincher boys also say
that Thomas Tincher and Willie Sharp were
sculllng first, before the shot was heard.
When the neighbors got to the place Thomas
Tincher was scratching and tearing the
ground in Il spot at Il desperate rate and
throwing the dirt as far as he could.

No GERMAN GRANGEs.-The records Of the
office of the secretary of the National
Grange Associations show that, notwitt-
standing the great number Of German farm
ers in the West, there is, as yet, no lodge OF
German oranges in the country, and very
few Germans are members Of the American
oranges. The reason assigned is that the
manual and ritual of the Order have not been
translated into German. Prominent Ger
mans in the West have recently suggested
that the lodges should be introduced among
the Germans. 1t is stated chat plans will
soon be taken to have the ritual and manual
translated, so that exclusively German lodges
can be organized.

We find in the Wdtchmdn an abstract
oflthc annual report Of State Treasurer
Page. for the fiscal year ending August l.
From a comparison of this report with that
of the preceding year. we learn that during
the year the funded debt of the State has
been reduced Ssa 500. The report also dis
closes the gratifying fact that there is cash
and uncollected taxes enough in the
Treasury at the present time to wipe out
our State debt (Sl95, $40, together with
the current liabilities of the State $50, $751;
33), and leave balance on hand oil Sls'-
1876 80. As this sum is inadequate to meet
the current State expenses until the tax OF
next wear becomes available, it will be, oil
course, impossible to extinguish the DEBT
this wear. But with one, or at most, TWO
more years of taxation at the present rate,
,tbe State will have the funds in hand for
the total extinction of the debt, when, we
trust. we may look for long era OF hight
taxation.
The following are the main figures OF the
report
