USTA.
MORNING. March 81. 1878.
RHODE ISLAND.

The State election in Rhode Island takes
place on Wednesday Of this week. Hen
~ Howard Of Coventry is the republican
candidate for Governor; the democratic
candidate is Benjamin B. Chase. No
members OF Congress are to be chosen.
The republican majority for Padelford tor
Governor in 1872 was 1868. Grants ma
iurity was 1886. There is no excitement
about, the election, which is the only cause
the republicans have for anxiety. The
State is overwhelmingly republican in any
contest that brings out the strength OF
parties. The probability is that Howard
will be elected. but the vote will be light.

PROFESSOR Wise is again proposing
to cross the Atlantic in a balloon, and
promises to start from Boston Common
on the Fourth Of July, if the authors
ties of that city will aid him in his
preparations 10 the amount of $1,000.
An order to that effect has been passed
by one branch OF the city government,
and there is possibility that the long
entertained theory OF aeronauts OF con-
slant air-currents from west to east,
will soon be pnt to the test OF practical
experiment. Prof. Wise is willing TO
risk his life in support Of his ability to
cross the ocean in sixty hours, and he is
not alone in his opinion, as many scien'
lists consider the. enterprise perfectly
feasible. Thus far ballooning has been
of no practical use to the world and we
cannot see that it will be OF much value
even if it is demonstrated that there
are constant essterly currents at an ele-
walton which can be reached and main
tanned. Still, if Boston is willing to
pay fol- the experiment, and the aer-
onauts are anxious to risk their lives in
the enterprise, We do not zee that any
one else should object.

MAIL DERAH0EMRNrs.


The New Time TabIe-Opinions OF
| lhe Press.
From the Piedmont Tribune.
The new mail arrangements seem Be-
riously to interfere with the receipt o.
our western exchanges. Hitherto the
Wheeling morning papers have reached
US at 2 o'clock P. NJ, Of the same day Of
their publication. Now, We cannot re-
ceive them until niue o'clock at night;
often not until the next morning. This
is q serious inconvenience to ue, as well
as to thousands Of people along the line
of the B. & O. R. R. westward OF us.
The Wheeling papers complain very
much OF it, as it must do great injury
to them. As all our mail matter from
the far west comes through the Wheel
ing distributing postoffice, our whole
western mails are delayed many hours
by this arrangement. We hope some
change may be made by which this de-
lay may be avoided.
From the Fairmont West virglnian.
We have heretofore been getting west
ern mail at 9:l9 A. NJ, but under the
new arrangement, the same mail comes
at 3:l6 p. NJ, on the accommodation.
This is especially aggravating to Fair
monters, and others on this end Of the
Grafton and Wheeling line, especially
as the mail facilities heretofore have
been 30 highly advantageous and satiss
factory. Under the old arrangement
the Wheeling dailies were received in
Fairmont a few minutes past 9 o'clock,
now they are not received for nearly six
hours after the New York and Balti-
more papers of the day before are re-
ceived. In other words, the Wheeling
dailies printed less than one hundred
miles away are almost as old when they
reach Fairmont as are the papers print
ed in Baltimore, New York and Wash
ington This ia especially discouraging
to those who try to live up to strict
code OF morals, and if there is any plan
to secure a change we trust it will be
speedily brought into requisition.
From the N oundsviile Reporter.
The Railroad Company has changed
the time of delivering the western mail
at this place. We have now to wait
until noon each day for our Wheeling
mail. This is rough on the Wheeling
publishers, as their morning papers are
pretty old when they reach their dest-
nation. Only think OF daily paper
being day and a halfold before it can
reach its destination, OF hundred
miles. The mails are kept up for the
accommodation Of the public, and it
strikes us that there ia not much &C.
commodation in the present arrarG e-
ment. Let the Company start the
Cumberland Accommodation train at
six or seven o'clock in the morning, and
it will accommodate just as many peo-
pie as it does now by way OF travel and
much greater number by way Of fur
nishipg them fresh mail.

Dead Body Found in Cheat River.

D000 oOuy FOunu ID Ohebt AAveEs
As the children Of Mr.. Amos Men
scar were looking for the COWS last SIM
day evening, they discovered the dead
body of man, which had lodged on
the dam of an old fish pot in Cheat
river just below the Fairfax ford. The
intelligence was Immediately commu-
nlcsted to the neighbors and an inquest
held Sunday night. . .
A railroad accident ticket was found
in the pocket OF the unfortunate nan,
issued at Antestown, Blair Co., Pa, and
bearing the name OF George II. Freel-
ing. The name OF Oliver Greeley was
found in bis pocket book, and in bis
pocket gold locket containing the like
ness Of a young lady. probably taken
several years ago.
The body is supposed to be that Of
stranger who stopped at Rowlesburg
about three weeks since, and made in-
quiries as to whether or not Cheat river
was navigable for ekiffs. as he wished
to 20 to Pennsylvania and had no
money to pay his fare on the railroad.
He was told that the narrows below
Rolesburgh would prevent such an un-
dertaking, but that night new skiff,
belonging to Mr.. Charles Findlay, was
taken from the shop where it was made
and the next morning neither the
stranger nor the skif could be found.
A day or two afterwards the skiff was
found in the narrows almost entirely
submerged in the water. The postmas-
ter at Antestown has been written to,
and probably the friends Of the drown :
ed man will soon be heard from.

COLUMBUS ODoNNEL, a wealthy and
prominent citizen Of Baltimore, died on
Sunday. He was well known in this
city. The american says Of him: For
half century his name has been fami-
liar in the commercial circles OF Balti-
more, and he has also been connected
with some of the most important OF our
public enterprises. He was for a long
time director in the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, and he was
for fifteen years President of the Balti-
more Water Company. Through his
energy and financial ability the Balti-
more Gaslight Company was made a
vigorous and solvent corporation which
in due time enriched those who had
the sagacity to invest largely in its
stock. He had the chief manage
meut and control of the corporation
from 1881 until its stock and frauchi-
ses were cold to another company 10
1871. In the course of his long and
busy life General O'Dounell accumulated
en- immense fortune which descends TO
his children.

RoANE Co., WEST VIRGINIA,
May 25th 1873.
Editors OF the Register:
Since our last communication TO the
REGISTER we have been favored
with some fine growing weather. But
owing to the unusual amount of rain
that has fallen this spring, farmers are
generally very backward with their
spring work and many will not get
done planting corn till June. The wheat
is coming on finely and from the pres
ent prospects we may yet have an av.
erage crop. We are now pretty certain
of plenty OF apples. Those hateful
pests, the potato bugs, have made their
advent in countless legions, and are
going for the early potatoes. Our friend
Timothy Flanders of Cow Run, who is
a very good Radical informs us that he
read Brother Paul Neirs receipt in the
State Journal for killing the bugs; so,
according to directions he mounted q
stump in his patch and read in a loud
voice the acts Of the last Legislature,
but he says the things wouldn't wilt"
worth a cent; SO he thought as he WAS
on the stump he would try another
experiment, by reading them the Iron
Clad Test Oath" and then he says they
all wilted most beautifully. Mr.. F.
will not ask for patent, but recon-
mends all to try the remedy.
A few weeks ago as Mrs. Belinda
McGill, wife OF John McGill, Esq, was
going to Burning Springs, her horse be.

on to town leading her horse. She got

che sold her marketing, made her pur-
chases and then walked home about
five miles leading her horse all the
way. Such case OF patient endur-
ance is hard 10 beat. Political affairs

UnIucky Days OF MatrImouy.

We may possibly be doing a service
to some Of our readers by informing
them (on the authority Of a manuscript
of the fifteenth century, quoted in the
Book of Days,") that there are just
80 days in the year upon which it is
unadvsiable to go into join hands,
namely: seven in January, three in
each February, March and December,
two each in April, June, July, August,
September and November, and one in
October, go that January is the worst
and October the best month for COM
hitting mstrimony. the actual uulucky
days being these: January l, 2, 4, 6. 10,

A Nice Young Lady

The Italian journals relate that the
envlrons of Catanzaro, Calabria, are
infested by band of brigands, under
the command of young woman. She
is only 20 years of age, and of great
beauty, with remarkably black and
brilliant eyes. Her name is Marie, and
she IS the widow of Pietro Monico. a
bandit chief, who was killed in an en-
counter with the gendarmes. She was
arrested lately, tried, and condemned
to 30 years imprisonment. While un-
dergolng her punishment, a warder,
becoming enamored of her, favored her
escape, and accompanied her, but was
stabbed tie death by her orders imme.
dlateIy after she had reioined her band
Since that period, her audacity and ac
tlvlty have redoubled, and she has
made herself the terror of the surround
ing country. She burus farm-houses,
carries off cattle, and levies contribu-
tons, and the slightest disobedience
TO her orders is punished by murder
aud fire.
