the Lord who understood all the hem
pecked lodges.
One ov these kind of husbands is an
honor to his sex.
The henpecked man, when he gifts out
amongst men, puts on an air Of bravery
and defiance, and SO in while will get
little drunk, and then go home with a
firm resolve that he will be captain ov
his household but the old woman soon
takes the glory out ov him, and handles

How TO BORE HOLES IN GLAss.-Any
hard steel tool will cut glass with great
facility when freely wet with camphor
dissolved in turpentine. A drill bow
may be used, or even the hand alone. A
hole bored may be easily enlarged by
round file. The ragged edges of glass
vessels may also be easily smoothed thus
with fiat file. Flat window glass can
be readily sawed with watch-spring
saw by an aid of this solution. In short,
the most brittle glass can be wrought al
most as easily as brass by the using of
cutting tools kept constantly moist with
camphorized oil Of turpentine.

Mrs. Patrick Duffy is in trouble,
and appears before the Esquire for re-
lief. Her husband, Patrick Duffy, it
seems is blowing hot and cold with an
other woman named Hyne, whose
character for chastity is not without
question. For shame on you, Patrick
Stand by the woman OF your choice
the woman whom you promised God
and man to love, honor and protect.
You owe That much to her, to society,
tc yourself, and TO God, as you wish
for the mercy Of heaven when you
most need it. Let us hear no more OF
this, or we will make it so hot fer you
and your harlot that you will be tain

We notice by the Writ Count

We notice by the Writ County
Mentor that company Of gentlemen
from New York and Philadelphia,
have filed papers Of incorporation in
the County Clerks Office Of that coun-
ty, for the building of railroad from
Highland county, in Virginia, to Par
kersburg on the Ohio river, to be
called the Shenandoah and Ohio River
Railroad. We hope this enterprise
will not be allowed to stop until it is
an established fact. 1t will open up
large deposits Of mineral, and add TO
the ge neral prosperity and wealth OF
the State. Aside from the immense
beds of ore which are found deposited
in Randolph and Highland counties,
and in fact through all that section OF
country, there is some of the finest
forests OF timber, made up Of poplar,
walnut, oak and pine, which is TO be
found anywhere in the States. Be-
sides this, such a road would furnish
an additional motive for developing
TIE oil lands in the vicinity Of Burning
Springs, as by that means sure and
certain outlet would be furnished the
operators other than the uncertain
navigation Of the Little Kanawha riv-
er. The road when finished, must be,
from the very nature Of fittings, an un-
doubted financial Sticcess. Will Par
kersburg reach OF: friendly hand to
this new feeder OF her industry and
commerce? Material aid, and not
doubtful promises, will be wanted.

We would be thankful to our
friends, here and elsewhere, to
send us the news Of the neighbor-
hood in which they live, that may be
of interest to the public. BY doing SO
they will not only confer great favor
upon us, but add to the strength Of
their local paper, which is worth more
in dollars to a community, if properly
conducted. than the best oil well that
ever was or ever will be struck. The
influence for good which good paper
yields, is beyond estimate in money;
and how good it is, depends entirely
upon the alacrity with which those
most interested furnish its editor or
manager with information, and pay
their bills. 1t is we'll demonstrated
TACT that editors in general can't live
without their hash, more than other
people. They may so it Oh glory for
4 while, but they fall INTO premature
graves and are soon forgotten.

The editor OF the OrthoPolitan, J.
Y. Hutchinson, done us the honor Of
call on Tuesday last. He is OF
sound mind upon the great questions
of the day, and the Democratic party
of Wood county and the State secure
in him an able and efficient advocate
in the advance and triumph Of the
princip pies born Of that master mind Of
statesmen-Thomas Jefferson. Nay
the trials and vicissitudes generally
attendant upon the publication of 4
county paper; be strangers to you, and
may you, friend Hutchinson, enjoy
in the fullest all the pleasures;
which are many, that connec-
ton with the public press confers.
We hope and believe the Democratic
party Of the county and State will
recognize the marked ability NTH
which the OrthepOiitan is now con.
Quoted, ~ extending their patronage
and support, both by subscription and
advertising. Money thus spent, pays
ten fold the investment in the dissent

William Bryson, man living and
keeping a store at Wo.f'S Summit, on
the Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad, and a
man named Henry Hogue, got into an
alteration on Thursday Of last week.
Not being able TO come to a pcaceable
understanding, they resorted to brute
force. In short. sharp and decisive
action, Hogue got the better OF his an
tagonist, having him down. Bryson
promised, if Hogus would let him up,
that lie would in future conduct him
self properly toward his adversary,
and declared himself thoroughly sat.
isfed. He was let up, but instead OF
keeping his word; he turned to and
badly marred the beauty Of Hogue's
benign countenance, nearly gouging
out one of his eyes. This man Bryson
is, we believe, fifty or sixty years OF
age, and is keeping" harlot by the
name Of Susan P. Faulkner, at the
house Of William Shires, whose name
figures in another part Of this paper.
Mr.. Shires may not know The charac'
ter of this woman, but it he does not
he is the most gullible individual we
have heard Of lately. Bryson should
be treated to cold water bath, il
nothing more, for presuming to carry
forward the trade Of his nature
pimping-in this section Of country.
In connection with this matter, we
wish to say that we believe in calling
things by their right names; it is the
only way in which we can bring to
shame and whip the scoundrels who
lay themselves liable to the lash OIL
public scorn and contempt. We hold
in deriSion that man or woman who
will mince facts under sense OF false
modesty, and hope our readers will
bear III mind when they hear us call,
ing such characters as Bryson, pimp
and Susan, a harlot, that they are
such, and that we mean the plain Eng
fish of it.

On Saturday evening, week ago,
David Porter appeared before mis- Hon
or, Esquire Sargent and swore out a
warrant for the arrest of VIM. Shircs
and Susan p. Faulkner. The parties
were accordingly arrested and bound
over 10 appear on Monday morning
for NAL, whercupon Shires and wife
swore out 4 warrant for the arrest of
Porter for assault and battery. He was
bound over to appear. On Monday
morning they all put in their appear
ance, determined upon satisfaction. a
harder looking or more brazen set oil
rogues and vagabonds than the pris-
oners above named, it would be hard
TO find outside the slums Of New
York. J. G. Nyc appeared for the
Shires family. Susan P. Faulkner,
rugged in a jockey hat, trimmed with
blue ribbon, striped waist and red
dress, flounced la mode, and a but
iertly breast pin, was first put upon
trial. The accusation against her was
for calling David Porter a son-of-a-
bitch and hitting him over the head
with club. The Court upon evidence
decided that She was not far from cor
rect, as it vas shown that Porter first
assaulted her, and let her go. But she
is hard looking case, and has all the
ear marks of Il walking house Of in
famy-pig-noSc, iascivtous mouth,
high cheek bones, extended jaws,
lying tongue, low forehead and deep
sunken, villainous looking eyes.
Shires and his wife were the next on
the docket. This Mrs. Shires' repu-
tation extends back over 1 good deal
of territory-moret than we have room
to give her and Go her justice. She is
4 modern Nantippa-a she devil on

She, like Susan, has many OF the al
tributes Of inlamy. Her husband is a
poor weak solution Of humanity, with
neither discretion, sense or courage-a
pollywog-a ,hing-a mummy. They
were bound over for one year in the
sum of fifty dollars each to keep the
peace. David Porter was also bound
over to keep the peace in the sum OF
fifty dollars for one year. In former
