MoUNDsVILLE, Nov. 81, 1874.


MoUNDSVILLE, Nov. 81, 1874.
Editors Of the IntolllGOneer: .s.-
Thanksgiving has come and gone. It
was observed 10 our quiet town about az
usual. Services were held In two Of the
Churches, viz {: Preaching in the Presby-
terian Church and prayer meeting at the
Methodist There were but very small
congregations In attendance. Why arc
not our houses Of worship crowded on
such occasions as they were for stVaral
years alter the war closeds Are we not
as thankful as We were then, or Is this
great national holiday degenerating into
nothing but a day Of revelry and mirth ?
II seems 30.
Base ball was INDUCED in by many of
the boys and young men, while no doubt
numberless turkeys and chickens fell a
sacrifice to tho appetite Of tho cpl.
cure. Our tavorite little brass band
discoursed sweet music for an hour or
two in the evening, At night the Ladies
Missionary Society gave an entertain
ment at the n. E, Church, which was a
pleasant affair.
The river was tull Of tow boats all dsy
yesterday, each having itS feet Of barges
and no doubt the amount Of coal now
shipping will gladden. the many fresides
Of our brethren down south. Many hun
dreds Of people will now for time have
employment, that have been idle for the
want OF something to do.
Our business men don't pay much atten.
ton TO Thanksgiving. All our stores
were open during the entire day as
for as our observation went. One
did not close because another did
not, and so 1t was, from first TO last. Our
post office was the only place that oh
served the day 10 the letter, and It was
closed loo long TO suit some. The con-
viCts in our Penitentisry were allowed 10
enjoy the day lin their cells though tho
enjoyment was not 10 be envied.
Our County Court adjourned on We'd
nesday, but 10 day itresumes its labors,
aud how long it will yet continue is not
inside public, It has already been in sec
sion IA days. We understand considera.
bic business has been TRANSACTED and there
is still much more, on the docket. What
Il blessed institution 1t Is The 3. 8. In.
stitule comes of on Saturday, the pro.
ceedlngs OF which will be sent TO you in
good time.
Many Of our citizens are complaining
Of heavy taxes, paying the interest on the
rolling Mill stock accounts for it, sup
pose. This part Of the rolling mill is not
so p4latsble to many as was the bright
prospects OF future prosperity talked oil
when the enterprise first took shape Bu!
1t Ia Hn Improvement TO our town, and il
will undoubtedly prove q success, and
will be but the iorerunner OF many more
Improvements Of like nature 80 mote
1t be-" and may the time soon come when
enterprise will so take hold on Mounds
Williams that oil our vacant lots and small
farms will be filled with substantial
dwellings and 8 busy population. X,

tive. In tho afternoon the market was
irregular, and Erie, Lake Shore, Union
Pacific and ohios were iss per cent
lower. Towards the close Of business
the market was strong, but became dull
IN tho end, the changes in the general list
being only from ! to t per cent. The
impression prevailed that the recent bulls
In Lake Shore were selling that stock and
buying other shares, and the course oil
the market favored this theory. Within
a few days suspicion has existed that the
next Lake Shore dividend will be only 8
per cent, instead of 4, as was generally
expected. This suspicion may have
grown out Of the fact that 81 per cent Is
no longer bid for the dividend. The
transactions at tho Stock Exchange
amounted to 100000 shares, Of which H..
900 were Western Union, 5000 Pacific

BEEcuER last Sunday turned upon the
newspapers for reporting him in manner
not satisfactory to himself. In bis sermon
he showed aquerulousness and discomfort
that are offensive to the press, which has
done him vast deal OF service. Even
the Tribune, OF New York, which has
been very kind to him, suggests that
BERcHER's sermons are not likely to SUI
fer from the "cutting-down" process.

On the night OF the LIST of August
Mrs. Mary Hess, wife Of David Hess.
living at Pottsdam, Miami county, gave
birth to twins, who as a natural curl
osity excel the farfamed Samese. The
children were both males, fully deevel-
oped, their combined weight being 134
pounds. Each had a separate circula-
ton, and they were in all respects two
distinct persons except the union be-
tween them, which was about as fol-
lows;
The distance from the base of the
skull TO the point Of anion was II in
ches, extending to the umbilicus, there
being but one for both. The nipples
were p inches apart, and the nipple of
the left child was on its back. It was
sixlnches from the joint of the right
shoulder Of ths right child to the left
shoulder of the left child. The circum-
ference Of the union was 1 8 inches, aud
the entire length ofthe children was19
inches. gThe bond of union between
the two was bony substance.
Both children were born dead, but
before the interment photographs of
them were taken, and picture ofthem
in India ink is on exhibition at the gal
lery ofthe Messrs. Ttesize on East fifth
street in this city. Mr.. Hess, the faith
er, is blacksmith, and large sums of
money were offered him tor the bodies
OF the children but he declined them,
and, after the burial, a guard was
placed over the grave to prevent them
being stolen away. They were after
wards secretly removed and buried in
another place unknown to any person
but the parents. The mother was three
days in labor, and was attended byDrs.
