GoFRoM HOME FOR NEws.-The Hagcrs-
town Neos contains the following "Repartee"
between Judge Allen and Deputy Sheriff
Osborn, of this County:
A few. days ago, Judge Allen, who was
holding session of Court at Charlestown,
found reason to censure severely Sheriff Os-
bourn. The Sheriff took the censure calmly
and politely. After while the Judge or
dered him to adjourn Court until the follow
ing morning at nine o'clock. Next morning
exactly at nine, the sheriff, without any order
from the Judge, caused the bell to be ruug
at the appointed hour. The Judge rushed in.
the Court House, and demanded excitedly
the name of the party who rung the BELL
The Sheriff confessed that he had according
to the Judges orders, who ordered him the
day previous to adjourn Court until the fol-
lowing morning at nine o'clock, and con-
tinued he, 81 see, Judge, that you are not in
your seat" The Judge had nothing more to
say, but took his scat with his usual dignity.
The Sheriff was avenged

PERsoNAh.-We had the pleasure of greet
ing in our sanctum last week, Robert T.
Brown, Esq clerk of the Circuit Court of
Jefferson. Mr.. Il. held the position for many
years before the war, but after West Virginia
became ''powcr unto ITSELF" he like all
other good and true men, born of the soil,
were prescribed, that the truly loyal jack.
anapians might ''hove and throve" Mr.. B.,
was re- elected to his old position at tho edop-
ton of the New Constitution. and although
like ourselves on tho down hill side of life,
he looks as if he can serve tho good people Of
Jefferson for many years to come. The JEFF
ferson people were sensible in electing to o.
fee, their own people. Up with us We havo
a good deal of Ignorant laudation of the
'sgreat yankee nation. "-llar Statesman.

ALTHOUGH the bombast Of the past
was wearisome, it had its virtue in the pa
triotism by which it was usually inspired.
This virtue gave it attraction, and there
are few Of our elders who have not been
thrilled by the diffusive, burning harrangue
of the stump; but to our ears the wild
cry of the bird Of freedom has become
dsagreeable squawk. After q while its
voice got into the threats of demagogues
oftener than those of true men, and thus
it went out of fashion. Now when q
man begins to talk about this great
and glorious country and her mani
fest destiny. we suspect him
of scheme to obtain land grants OF
