For The Register.
HUNTINGTON, W. Na.,)
Jan. Sth. 1913.

Mr.. Zittle-Thinking letter from
this place might be of interest to your
readers, concluded to drop you line.
1t is on the banks OF the Ohio, and is
the Western terminus of the {. IL 0.
r. r.. which is rapidly nearing compile
ton. 1t has population of 250O, and
judging from the past year can safely
say that before this year is brought to a
close we will have doubled that number
as in all .'new" towns and cities. So
will you find is a mixed people, having
representatives from almost every State
in the Union. We boast already Of
eight churches and although we have
not them many church ediiices, yet We
expect ere 10 closes to find all with
houses of worship. The greatest diff
Guilty we have to contend with At pre-
sent is the want of facilities to carry
mail and merchandise. Owing to the
non-completion Of the Railroad, and the
state of the river, makes it almost i'm
possible to receive mails or goods. As
an instance your paper Of Dee. 2lst, did
not reach here till January 3 The wri-
ter was agreeably surprised TO find the
following named gentlemen Of Jefferson
county, booked at the Merchants Hotel
of this place, viz: Messrs. David Fry,
Robert Earl, Andrew Aldridge, John
G.. Shirley and IL. n. Gallaher These
gentlemen were Ell route to the perma-
nent scat Of government to serve as .ju-
rors at the Federal Court. There has
been a considerable rise in the river the
past few days, and general breaking
up of the ice, there has been considera-
bic damage done to Boats at various
points along the river. On Monday last
the Pilot House and upper deck Of the
Emma Graham, passed here. She was
large boat and piled between ParkerS-
burg and GalIipolis. | heard since she
sank at Pomeroy Several others met
similar fates In speaking of our city
an old gentleman remarked that if they
did not make city Of this, they would
spoil a good orchard. And such is the
fact You can walk up or down either
Of the avenues, and you can see apple
trees on every side. One OF the amusc-
ments of our citizens, aud only mention
one for want of space, is the Lyceum.
The question for debate last night was
"Resolyed, that woman be allowed the
elective franchise" The arguments
produced pro and con were good, but it
was decided by the house that the neg
atiye had carried the weight Of the ar
gument, but my page is full and will
close by wishing the Register more
abundant success than any previous
year. | am yours respectfully,
JEFFERSON BOY.

TIE THIRD HUSBAND.

In July, 1870, lent him $500 more,
and on the I'd of September, 1870, we
went to Mr.. Sherman's sisters house, in
Bridgewater, Mass, and were married
After we had been married about two
mouths, Mr.. Sherman said one day that
he. wished his babe (Frank) would die,
rs then the old woman should not stay
another day in the house. | was full
OF trouble, and, not knowing what to
do, was temptedto give him (Franky)
something to get him out of the wav.
for | thought he would be better off
They had arsenic in the house. The
old lady had used it before to poison
rats Iput some Of it in some milk,and
only gave it to him once. Being quite
feeble.he began to be sick and to vomit.
| sent for a doctor, but he said the child
was not out of danger, though he was
better. This was in the forenoon. That
night the child died at II o'clock. This
was November Is, 1870.
MORE TROUBLE.
Instead of making matters better, ev-
erything grew worse. Mr.. Sherman
and his mother-in-law kept constantly
quarrelling about piano, for which she
claimed Mr. Sherman owed her $40. l
sold my farm for 81, 100, of which re-
ceived $500 cash; so gave Mr.. Sher-
man s1O0, told him to pay her, which
he did, and then the old woman left u.s.
Mr.. Sherman then took to drink, and
l supported the family for about six
months. During thistim found that
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1873-05-31

SOME one has be en- figuring the quantl-
ty of timber annually used for railroad ties
and his conclusions are as follows:EN
There are $50 100000 railroad ties laid
down in the country. To do this we clear
ed something like 10000 acres of wood
land. Thirty millions of these ties decay
or otherwise perish in year. and the roads
demand the wood of $50, 900 acres more.
This is only one item in our vast lumber
interest. The rolling-stock on the roads
eats up $50 900 acres more each year, to say
nothing of our houses, ships, furniture,
and fires. These figuresare not Particular
ly lively reading, but it is best to contem-
plate them, and briefly consider their
meaning. Acute writers upon our lumber
supply fix its total exhaustion within
score of years. Be this as it may, the fact
can not be disputed that the end is in sight.
We do not mention this in the light of a
needless alarm, but that we may be wise
in time. Economy has been considered a
weakness in this country. The time is at
hand when economy of our material wealth
should be made virture instead of by
word. Let our scientists show us how to
save our wood, and our biologists and ma
chinists show us our stores of iron and
their application to our industrial arts.
The time will come when we must change
from wood to iron, and it were wise in us
to early learn the-way. Hd
