THE P0wER or IMAeIvATIox.

. Alexander Dumas published some time ago,
in daily Paris paper, a novel in which the
heroine, prosperous and happy, is assailed
with consumption. All the gradual symptoms
were most touchingly described and the great
est interest was felt for the heroine.
One day the Marquis de Dalomieu called on
him.
Dumas z said ho,s !" have you composed
the end Of the story now being published in
"of course" 80
. Docs the heroine die at the end ?"
4" OF course-dies of consumption. After
such symptoms as have described, how
could she live ?"

Yes; she has all the various symptoms of
consumption you have described, and watches
mournfully for every number of your novel,
reading her own fate in your heroine's. Now,

whose Imagination, has been deeply Impress
ed, will live too. Come, life to save is a
temptation--"
- Not to be ressted.''
Dumas changed his last chapter. His he
roine recovered and was happy.
About five years afterwards Dumas met the
Marquis at party.

summer Rssor;s.

Referring to recent article in this
usper in relation to Summer Resorts
in which attention was called to the
Cheat River region, the Preston Coun.
~ Herald says:
We heartily agree with the REGISTER.
The weary denizen OF tue city cannot
find more inviting, ner health-giving
atmosphere any place than along
Cheat River. While the location has
all the retirement and seclusion needed
its fields for sporting excursions and
the moderate costs, as compared with
the more famous resorts, should make
this and Tucker counties desirable and
popular TO the seeker OF health and
pleasure.
The Preston County Journal, com.
m.nting upon this same matter has to
aay:
|, IS true that but "few know the
pleasure, OF a summers residence at
Kingwood." It is undoubtedly the
rrettiest village IN the State. In pro-
portion 10 lis population it has the
fin.at private residences OF any town
in the State. The people are moral,
refined and cultivated, and extremely
.ociable. We are situated but short
walk from the fantastic banks OF old
Cheat that murmers it's way through
mou ntain gorges, and the most plctur-
e.oue scenery; several smaller streams
hard by offer excellent opportunities
Tor trout fishing. We have a daily
mail, and are only ten mile, from the
railroad, with a coed road between Nc

We copy this morning from Wash

the most astounding pieces OF villiany
of which we have ever heard. 1t was
intended to cover up the frauds which
have been committed by the ring OF
thieves 10 Washington City. The
House of Representatives, by an
unanimous vote, have instructed the
committee to investigate this affair !;
and, il the facts turn out as stated, it is
without parallel in the records OF
official rascality. Here was the Dis
trct Attorney, representing the United
States, engaged with a professional
thief in the burglsrious robbery OF his
own office, that he might falsely accuse
and convict a respectable citizen of fell
ony. If, upon investigation, this crime
be established, these officials ought to
be not only promptly dismissed from
Office, but should be put within prison
walls for terms equsling their natural
lives. The whole affair is OF so desper-
ate a character that it is difficult to be-
lieve the version which has been given
it. But it ought to be siitsd to the
bottom, and, if it is proved to be what
it has been represented. the guilty par
ties should suffer the full penalty of the
law. s...... .,...

Notes from Webster.

From the Weston Democrat.
Our friend Bernard Mollohan, writes
us az follows: We have bad plenty OF
rain Tor the last month, and the rivera
have been up to pretty good logging
stage for some time. Parties from
Charleston are having saw-logs cut and
put in Elk river, above and below the
Court House. l was out last week on
surveying tour in what are called
the Yew Mountains, at the head Of q
branch OF Elk called Burgoo Creek, In
company with two gentlemen from
Center county, Pennsylvania. On au
examination OF the pines there, the
strangere pronounced them to be the
"Bslssm OF Fir" The pines grow
from 50 to 100 leet 10 the first limb.
They are very straight, and stand SO
thick that you cant see the sky above.
Sigus Of bear were abundant among the
pines; and the hogs will suffer in that
neigh borhood this summer. The peo-
pie Of this State are very much dlssat-
i.fed at the idea Of having three pros
ecuting attorneys, all active and oper-
ating at the same time. Should you
have anybody in your county who
need prosecuting just send them over
here-we can do the job. The settles
ment OF this vexatious question, it 10
understood, will be referred to Judge
Branuon at the next term Of the Circuit
Conrt, which coavenes on the Goth

in Elk and it's tributaries. Peaches
and apples are 10. hurt much here,
and the prospects for good crop

bic. Several new buildings are going
