Mr.. Simms will visit the churches
Of the State in behalf of the school,

the enterprise, not only to the denom-

over estimated. 1t has attained to
that stage when it must be vigorous

AS soon as the house is done, the
school can be made self sustaining !;
until then. it must be pushed by out

ed, and everything seems 70 move on as
lively as ever.
The farmers are busily engaged in gath

than was expected sometime ago.
Our town is still improving; it is very
beautifully located, and is remarkable for
old bachelors and pretty girls. The new

THE MErEoRIc SHOWER We
have heard very little this year in
relation to the annual meteoric
shower. II took place on Sunday
night and Monday morning. The
night was very rainy, and of course
nothing could be seen then, but just
before sunrise about day-break, the
clouds broke away, and early risers
had fine view of the phenomenon.
The moon shOne too brightly to al
low all the meteors 10 be seen, bit a
large number were moving, and the
appearance was as if stars began to
fall toward the earth, then suddenly
stopped and disappeared. Some
years ago, this phenomenon was look
ed on by some with great terror as a
precursor of the Judgment day or
some other terrible thing, but the
matter is now clearly explained BY
natural laws, and becomes only an
interesting spectacle.

TmL-TAPPERs IN LMBo.-A FE-
MALE DEVELOPS THE CAsE.-Since
the daring till robbery at the store
of Harmison & Co., Mr.. Starr, Zone
of the FIRM has been unceasing in
his endeavors to ferret out the ras-
Gals who despoiled his exchequer Of
upwards of $50, and on Monday last
he was successful enough to have ar
rested the three negroes implicated
in the robbery, and there is a fair
prospect that two of them will serve
a term in the penitentiary. On
Thursday last, Mr.. Starr, learned
that a colored woman, companion
OF one Bob Jones, notorious charac-
ter, had received a note from Bob,
requesting her to send him some of
that money which he Bob had left
with her. Mr.. S. concluded that
Bob was connected with the till tap
ping. A small sum of money was
sent to Bob, who WIS then at Charles
ton, and assurance was given him
that the robbery had blown over
The plans worked well, as on Friday
evening last, Bob" arrived in Hunt
ington, but did not venture upon the
streets until Saturday night. On
Sunday he kept himself housed, but
on Monday he boldly walked the
streets. Mr.. Starr obtained warrants
for Jones, Dan Ruffner and Jack
Mullen, all negroes. The warrants
were placed in the hands Of Marshal
Mitchell, who, assisted by special of
Gcer Hatfield arrested Jones in the
sharty of Ruffner, on Thru avenue
near Seventh street. When the Mar
shall entered the shanty, Jones and
Ruffner ran out of rear door, but
Hatfield, who had successfully sur
rounded the place, bounced upon the
scamps, just as they emerged from
the house. and threatened to shoot
them if they attempted TO rum
They were taken before Justice Ems
low, and in a few minutes afterwards
Marshal Mitchell brought into the Of
flee the man Jack Mullen. Mr..
Starr instantly recognized them as
the men who had been in his store
on the night OF the robbery.
Ruffner and Mullen admitted that
they had been in the store on the
night in question, and made admiss-
ions that left no doubt that Jones
was the person who tapped the till,
while the other men engaged the at
tention of Mr.. Starr.
During the examination before
Esquire EnslOw, which was conduc
ted BY Mr.. Starr, Ruffner was very
nervous, and perspired freely, Null
len was held in his own recognizance
as a witness. Jones and Ruffner were
bound over to court.

been made with the Barge and Tow
Boat lines for the delivery of grain
to this point, the Elevator will soon
be employed transferring grain from
the Boats TO the Cars.
We have been informed that the
Elevator costs about $4,000. OF
this sum. very small amount is Ia
ken bv the citizens of Huntington,
some By citizens of Richmond, but
the great majority of it by the
Genital Land Company. This Is
only one of the many enterprises
projected by that company for the
benefit of Huntington, but the hard
times, the panic and the general strin'
gency of the money market, prevents
the investment of money, as they
are receiving very little from this
point now.
We hope to see large Merchant
Mil erected near the Elevator.
