IMNIGRAIION OF ENGLISH AGRICU ULTU-
RAJ LABORERS

For many months the agricultural laborers
of England have been engaged in a struggle
to free themselves from q kind of moral deg
radiation. The money paid to them for their
work was probably not far below that which
the law of supply and demand prescribed.
But it was ridiculously small in amount COM
pared with its capacity to provide liveli-
hood for the wOrkmen and their families. 1t
was scarcely sufficient to secure more than the
coarsest necessares of life. The laborers had
little time and absolutely no means to edu-
cate themselves or their children to higher
standard of usafulness and many occupied q

chase money of the Di Cesnola collection, and the
Trustees in raising this ask the cooperation Of

proyal by the Museum of contract already proposed
by him whereby the results ofithese researches may
be gathered into a single collection in this country
The experiment of opening the Museum to the pub
lie without charge one day each week is approved
as entirely successful, the average attendance hav-
ing been over 100, and day having exceeded
1000. The Trustees express their satisfaction with
the fruits of the years work. 1t has shown that the
question whether Museum of Art can be estab-

New-York tribune., 1874-08-28

Gov. Brown of Tennessee cannot be fairly
charged with hesitancy in dealing with the
Humboldt murderers. He telegraphs the
Sheriff some timely advice, promises to uphold
him in preserving the peace, and offers re-
wards for the apprehension of the guilty per
sons in this aud other recent outrages. Now
let him see that the Sheriff and other judicial
officers falter not until the rioters are visited
with the penalty of the law.
The large number of trials of policemen on
complaints of citizens is a healthy sign, if
rightly considered. 1t indicates that citizens
aaye confidence in the promises lately made
by the new Commissioners that they meant to
punish the too free use of the club, and that
they come forward now with complaints
which under the old system were hushed.
Hence will come, slowly perhaps, into the
dense craniums of the more stupid and less
humane policemen, the comprehension that
they are employed to protect and not to
pouud the people they encounter.

FRIDAY, November 20.
BELLAIRE.
BUSINESS is Frightening up.
No arrests were made in the city yes
terday.
APPLES are retailing at 81 bushel in
Bellaire.
An adjourned meeting of Council will
be held tonight.
THE reason for the scarcity of Bellsire
news in the REGISTER is, first, because we
were necessarily engaged on business out
side of localizing, all day yesterday, and
in the second place, there was not very
many interesting items to write about.
WE noticed Sheriff Cochran in town
Yesterday, extending invitations to quite
a large number of our citizens to come to
St. Clairsville soon.
THROUGH freight trains now run from
Wheeling to Chicago on the b. q u
Railroad.
BUTTER is steady at 25 cts. pound,
and eggs at rs cts. dozen.
WE hope our Council will adopt Mr..
Wards plan of numbering the city, to-
night There is no better plan than his,
and all our houses and lots should be
numbered.
THESE moonlight nights cut down the
profits of the gas light and coke company
IT looks now as though sleigh bells
would be counted as dead stock this
winter.
YOU get chrome with almost every
thing YOU buy now, and we look for the
butchers to hand out one every time we
buy pound of beef.
THE B. & o. R. r. Company have put
on an extra set of employees at their shops
in this city, and are now working night
and day, IN order to get out all their
power as soon rs possible. They want it
on the western part of their line.
WE had the pleasure of being present
and witnessing the marriage ceremony
which made Mr.. Ebert Harris, of Paris,
Illinois, and Miss Lucinda j. Duntee, of
Belmont county, Ohio, one flesh. Rev.
J. E. HOLSTER, of Waynesburgh, Ohio,
assisted BY Rev. j. ii. Rodgers, of
Bellairc, soemnized the marriage. There
were quite large number of persons
present, and our geniel friend K. &. Nor
ris and his good lady, made all feel that
they were welcome guests. The happy
pair lett on the 1920 West bound train,
for their future home ut Paris, Illinois.
The we'll wishes of their many friends go
with them. May they live long and
happily in their western home, where the
sun, surrounded by gorgeous companies
of clouds, slowly descends to his evening
pavilion in the bright silvery waters OF
the West.
We could not be present at the festi-
val ut CITY Hall last night, but have been
informed that it was quite success.
THE wooden wedding at Mr.. NJ.
Sheets residence night before last. was
quite an enjoyable affair. About thirty
or forty of his friends celebrated the fifth
anniversary of his marriage, and present
ed him and his amiable wife with enough
wooden ware to last about three ages.
The well known hospitality of MIR. and
Mrs. Sheets warrants us in saying that
those who were present had a pleasant
time.

CIRCUIT COURT The Court met at
the usual hour, Judge Melvin on the
bench.
The docket composed of appeals from
the police side of the Municipal Court Of
Wheeling, was called during the morn
ing session.
Messrs. ]. b. Good and j. b. Pendle-

ground that the Police Court had no
valid authority to assess fines with
out the Intervention of jury,
the constitution guaranteeing the
trial by jury to all accused Of crime.
As it appeaed no trial could be had on
the merits, the officers having been una
Bile, for want of time, to summon all the

ferent defendants, the constitutional
question was argued by the counsel nam
ed above for the defendants and 6. W..
