would increase the value of property
in those counties millions of dollars.
1t is thought by many, that the Coal
fields of the Guyandoste are Is ex'
tensive and more valuable than those
of the Kanawha, and the improve
ment of the river will bring them In
TO the market. A number Of years
ago nearly two hundred thousand
dollars were spent in this work, but
at that date the business of the coun-
try did not demand the extension of
the coal area, nor were these lands
known sufficiently to bring them into
prominence the consequence was
that not enough revenue was derived
from the improvement to keep them
in order. Now, however, it Is differ
ent. The attention Of Capitalists is
turned TO the State of West Nirsm-
ia and especially to this part Of 1t.
The lands are valuable, and increas-
ing in value every day, notwithstane-
ing the fact that they are unprOdrct-
i've. If this improvement Is now
pushed forward, the Coal fields of
the Upper Guyandotte will go far
towards solving the problem of cheap
coal for the Cincinnati and Southern
markets.
Mr.. Hereford certainly did a good
work in securing a preliminary ap-
preparation for Il survey of the river,
aud if Col. Craighilfs rerort is favor
able As it doubtless will be, an appro-
priation can be secured that will re-
build the Locks and Dams and ena-
bic boats for the shipment of coal to
90 up 100 miles from the mouth Of
the river.

BEAR few days ago a large
bear came down into Snowden Feas-

spring house, where his child was
alone. The mother saw the horrid

On Saturday night, June 9th, a
FIRE broke out in the Keg Factory be-
longing to Mr.. j. w. Jones at Cliff
ton. Mason Co. The buildings were
very extensive and contained large
quantity of machinery all Of which
was destroyed or rendered worthless.
The Factory had a capacity of Az
kegs per hour. and was supplying
1000 per week to the Clifton Nail
Works. Loss about S10,OOO and no
insurance.

Huntington Grain Elevator and
Transfer Company.

Subscriptions are now being recely'
ell in New York, Richmond and Hun
tington, to the capital stock of the
above company (abOut $50, OOO) in
shares of 500 each, with view to
erecting the work here at once. Git
liens are invited to subscribe, and with
a proper effort in this city, the sue
cess of this most desirable enterprise
will be assured No other projected
enterprise here offers more certain,
speedy and substantial advant:g's to
us, as a business community, than
does this. For particulars as to sub
scriptions, payments, organization,
&c, call on ID w EMMoYs, ESQ,
General Superintendent Central Land
Company, Huntington.
By the above it will be seen that an
other public enterprise l. really start
ed and in the han,ls of responsible
parties, who We know will push it to
completion. The commencement Of
Chicago was in the grain trade, and
its progress was pari P0Ssu with the
increase Of that trade. The great
need now Is an outlet at low rates for
the grain products of the Vest
Contracts have been made for the
transpo tation of grain in bulk, by
barges, from st. Louis and points far
beyond that, to this place. These
contracts are at low rates, that more
tlan compete with the Erie and Wei
land Canals and the water tranSpOr-
tation of the lakes. The rates are
low, by which we know that grain
can be delivered by water TO Hun
tingtol, and thence to the sea board
bv the G. & O. II. r., at lower rates
than almost any other route; but
these rates are imperative without
an elevator, 50 that really this I'M
mense trade is dependent ON the push
ing forward of the present enterprise.
The capital required is comparatively
small Il large part of it is subscribed
in Richmond and New York, and
now our own citizens are called to
help themselves. This enterprise will
be the means OF furnishing employ
ment TO large number Of men, and
Of course, increasing the business of
the place.
We hope the citizens will enlist
promptly and literally in the mat
ter. They are not asked to give any
thing. Ii the elevator does not pay
large percentage of profit, it will
be the first We have ever known that
did not.

FROM CEREDO.
Correspondence Huntington Advertiser.

CEREDo, W. Va, July Sth, lS7i.-The
Fourth of July is past and OF course an
account Of the days doines in this and
the adjoining towns will not be uninter-
esting. Ceredo was rather quiet, as the
most of the children went over in Ohio to
a picnic, being invited by the Burlington
people.
There was quite a large crowd at the
picnic, and all seemed to enjoy themselves
hugely. Some of the older people here,
RECALLED themselves on punch. Now i'm
agine hear some of my readers saying,
"vou had better tell us what punch is, be-
fore YOU go to talking about il" so will
explain. | don't know whether all punch
is made like this or not, but, at any rate,
this punch was nothing more than lemon
ade with stick in it
A few days since, an accident occurred
at Headley's saw-mill. Ulysses Brown,
one of the employees, jumped on the car
while it was going down the track, and
after it had gotten short distance down
the rope broke, throwing him of, and
dragging him several feet. His arm was
completely cooked from below the elbow
to the shoulder. He is doing finely now
an happy to announce the return Of
one of our former residents, Mr.. IL. Ban
croft. He ha. been living in New Or
leans for some time, baing an officer OF
the Board Of Health Of that city. be

him my best wishes.

Much excitement has been caused
by a report that gained credence late
". that Gov. Kemper, of Virginia,
vas in favor Of third term for Gen.
Grant. II is difficult to saw whether
the report originated in malice or
falsehood. Gov. KemPer is not in
favor Of Grant at all. He is a thor
Ough Democrat. The report in cir
culation was caused by private let
ter written by Gov. Kemper, in which
he said that 4 third term was repug
nant to all his ideas of Republican
government, but if a Democrat can
not be elected, aud Gen. Grant is nom
mated ON a liberal platform, against
a bitter Radical of the Civil Rights,
Negro equality, Southern-persccutor
school, he would vote for Grant. In
our opinion, nearly every Democrat,
North or South, would do the same.

Or all the wicked AMI disgraceful
swindles that have been perPetrated
BY the Radical party, none will bring
so much discredit on the American
nation as the Freedmen's Bank swim
die. With a great flourish of philan,
thropic trumpets, this bank was char
tered soon after the war, ostensibly to
teach the Freedman habits of thrill
and economy; really to furnish an
other chance for Radical speculation,
1t was chartered by the national Con
gress with branches in every State,
thus taking away the jurisdiction OF
the States over their own institutions
and enabling the swindling to be done
in Washington. In accordance with
their plans, the managers Of the bank
ordered the funds 10 be RENTED to
Washington as fast rs deposited, that
they alone should have a chance to
speculate with the Freedmen's money.
We learn that there were 5000 de
positors in the city Of Richmond, who
had $4,000 in the hank, but there
was but $500 on hand in that city /;
all the rest had been sent 10 Wash
ington. Here now are hundreds Of
poor, colored lot blacks, waSher-wo-
men and laborers, deprived of their
savings, which they have accumula-
ted BY sweat and toll and pinching,
while those who have stolen it are
revealing in wealth. Depositors who
have money in these banks are mott
fed that receivers are appointed
Perhaps they will get % per cent OF
their money in two years, and per

tLey will get it, or how much they

The Remington
FAMILY SEWING
MACHINE.
sgwlmc MACHINES.

The Remington Sewing Machines are
rapidly becoming general favorites and
gaining favor in every household where
they are introduced. While it is not our
purpose to run down any Sewing Machine,
we do claim that our Machines are 80 COM
plete as to overcome all the principal OBJ
jections that are found in the Shuttle Sew
ing Machines. That which has been long
sought after by probably every Sewing
Machine Company in the land, has been
obtained in our Machines that is, an
even, round, bird's-eye stitch on all kinds
of goods, coarse or fine, without the use
of Cog Wheel Gears Rotary Cams or
Levers, working silent and smooth while
in motion, is positive proof that it will
continue to run well for years without ex-
pense.

Action, Automatic drop-feed, makes the

neither RIP or RAVEL, and is alike on

REASONS WHY
THE REMINGTON FAMILY SEW
ING MACHINES ARE SUPERB

OR TO ALL OTHERS:
lst-Their SIMPLICITY.-The use Of
them is very easily acquired, and any
girl of ordinary intelligence is capa-
bic of keeping them in order.
2nd-i he CONSTRUCTION of the Ne
chine is such that it may be run at
higher rate of speed than any Shut
tie Machine now in the market. In
factories, where the speed has been
registered, over ! 900 stitches per min
ute have been attained with ease.
3d-Their DURABILITY.-Being 50
strong in all their parts, and fitted
with great mechanical nicetv, and be-
ing free from the harsh, Earring move
ments, and friction, 80 common in in
ferior machines, they will wear a long
time withour repair Of any kind.
4th.-Their ADAPTABILITY-By a
simple change of the needle and
thread, they will sew the finest cam
brio or the heaviest leather. All the
various kinds Of boots and shoes,
buck-skin sewing, clothing, caps
stays, shirts, nantes and dress ma
king can be done with equal facility
5th.-Tbe SHIITTLE-Beinp large. il
will carry great quantity Of thread
thus saving, in great measure, the
trouble of filling the bobbins.
6th.-The means OF getting at the requir-
ed TENSION on the Threads is so
simple and complete, that an even
back-stich on BOTH SIDES Of the mate
rial (which will not rip or ravel) can
be readily obtained.
7th.-They will SOW with equal facility
Silk, Twist, Linen Thread and COM
mon Spool Cotton.
sth.-They have no rotary cams, cog
wheels or lever arms to make noise
| run hard or TO get outof order.
