A portion Of the citizens of Allcgany
county having presented Il bill before your
honorable bodies the purpose of which is
the division of said county and formation
of a new county TO be caIlcl---coun,v.
we, your petitioners. would humhlv pray
that your honorable bodies would take the
matter into your most serious COnsidTa-
ton before passing any bill tending TO such
a purpose. Your petitioners earnestly he
lieye that a large portion of citizens are
decidedly against any such division of Al
legany county, the result of which would
be traught with injustice, contrary To their
wishes and detrimental to the best interests
ofall concerned. Believing that your hon
Orablc bodies have an earnest soliCItudc foT
the general welfare and that Won will ia
vOr no measure with the above object in
view your petitioners will ever pray, &c y
With great respect for the trainers OF
this memorial we must say it is singular
ii presents no reason why the movement
is 'iraught with injustice etc, and that
it is no less singular the large" opposition

New counties make larger Legislatures

faithfully discharged the duties of his
position during two terms closing il
1858; when, on account of failing
health, he refused reelection, and re.
tired to farm, hoping thus to regaia

was so far rec ,vered that he re-entered
the practice of law and continued the
same until death. AS an attorney an6
adviser brother Hunter stood in the
front rank at the Woodsfield Bar; ant
always discharged the duties of his po
sition With fidelity to his clients and
honor to himself
Brother Hunter was converted an(

stakes should he a corresponding height
to that of the peas, and when the re

tar twine or other strong c1rd may bt
tied to the end stake, and passed along
the line of stakes, making turn on each
within few inches of the ground, anf
as growth progresses, raise The next turr
a little higher, advancing in succession
until the plants attain their full height
