C. S. Stone, County Superintendent, S. S.
Altizer and c. NJ. Lake composed the
Board. Only few teachers were present,
and after very close and scrutinizing ex-
animation, certificates were awarded as

Henderson Ball, 3; C. c. Webb, 3; Geo
Morgan, 8; Joseph Ball, 3; VIM. A. Lee,
g.; Inman Goldsmith, 81 and Richard
Phillips, 5; a very fine examination, and
we hope that the schools may be more pro-
ductive of usefulness than heretofore
The system has worked very badly in this
county, az the people seem TO take no IL
terest in it; and consequently the schools
have been in quite an unhealthy condi-
ton. The Board meets again on the 22d
10 September.
On Friday evening there was an alterca-
ton between William Sellers and John
Thompson, which ended by Thompson
running into Buskirb's Shoe Shop and
Sellers shooting at him. Sellers defed the
officers in town 10 arrest him, and during
the excitement, crossed over the river 10
]. VI. Jackson's to which place he was
pursued by David Stratton, with four
men. He was, after having been shot four
times, captured and brought back to town
and is now under arrest awaiting an ex-
animation. One bullet entered the right
shoulder, one the left wrist, one the right
hip and one the right thigh. He fired his
pistol out at his pursuers but did no harm.
Urias Buskirk left here on Sunday for

meat.
Oliver Perry has commenced t! jail at
this place in good earnest. Blu! We have
no need of jail in Logan.
John Justice, of the firm Of L. Justice
& Bro, and F. NJ. White, OF this place
are down the river to lay in goods for the
Ginseng trade. Maj. NigLbert is also

The nomination Of Maj, Nighbert for
the State Senate gives general satisfaction
and Logan will give him an almost
unanimous vote Hereford stock is last
rising and | doubt if Hall will be able to
purify the politics, even OF the handful Of
Radicals in this county. Hereford was
not our first choice, yet he is the standard
bearer Of our party for this district ard
40 long as the Civil Rights Bill fingers in
Congress our voice will be given, with 4
hearty good will, to that party which op.
poses it. In the election Tor member OF
the Legislature, hope that all demo
Gratis may bear in mind the Tact that
successor to Arthur !. Foreman, in the
United States Senate, is to be elected this
winter; and that they may send doubt
full man to the Legislature. il bchoovcs
us as party, to be watchful and vigliant
and to vote Tor no EadiCa! or ladepeadeat
democrat even il he is 4 clever, cal fe!-
low. With the iudomitab.e James Fer
guson, of WAYNE: Wilkinson, of LIncolni
Ihomburg, Of Cabell; Powell OF Boone
and Floyd, Of Logan, we can present Il
bold front OF good and tried mea, =" tie

The weather is fine and marble paying
