The election news is very satisfactory
TO some. The Democrats, although their
fond snticipations, and great expectations
were not realized In regard 10 our county,
are still much elated over tho election OF
Wilson. 1t does one good to look at their
smiling Countenances-in TACT, it Is the
only consolation that we disappointed
ones have. We hope that we have char
ity and liherality enough to allow the
good feelings OF our Democratic brethren
to mollify what VIC Otherwise feel IN the
gloom Of defeat. Many think that had
Golf been permitted to begin the cam
paign at the same time that Wilson did,
he would have been triumphantly elected,
but "it is as 1t is, and all our regrets can
not make it otherwise"
Our County Institute closed on Salur-
day at II o'clock A. NJ. after very sue.
cessiul session Of three days. Good
work was done by Prot. a. B.
Miller, the chief instructor, and the
teachers in attendance will no doubt to.
day enter their sChOol rooms better pre-
pared for work. 49, E.-y.-I w
A game Of base ball was played hero on
Saturday, between the Moundsville club
and the Crescents oil Wheeling, resulting
In favor Of the former by score Of 81 to
% The playing was very good on either
side considering the roug hness OF the
ground. During the progress Of the game
quitea scene occurred between two men
under the influence of liquor. They were
acting the TOOL with each other when both
becoming mad, as is usually the case, one
OF them kicked the other in the face,
causing him to lie down as one dead
Tor some twenty minutes. One Of our
Deputy Sherif's, J. G. WaYman, being on
the ground, attempted to arrest him, when
be resisted with all the frenzy Of drunken
iend, but with the assistance OF
two or three citizens, who were called on,
he was soon tied, placed in a wagon and
conveyed 10 the Jail, where henow awaits
his trial. l noticed also some drinking on
the ball grounds during the few moments
that was there; but, to the credit oil
MoundsvillG, It all came from Wheeling,
and the drinking also was confined to per.
sons from there. The players seemed to
DO very we'll behaved. It Is a shame that
such things cannot be conducted without
profanity and drinking. Base ball is q
harmless and pleasant exercise, but il Ii
cense Is given to indulge in swearing dur.
ing the progress Of the game, it will soon
sink into disrepute. Boys, see to 1t, and
make rule that not an oath be spoken.
This is in accordance with well reguls-
ted game. Is 1t not!
Geo. W. Edwards, ESQ, has been alb.
sent for some days Whether he. has
started for the head Of Salt River, have
not been informed, but l suppose he has
gone East for goods.
In the absence Of the regular minister
yesterday, It was expected that the Rev.
]. A. Kibbie, OF Grafton, would preach al
the d. e. Church, But % he did moi
make his appearance, his place IN the
pulpit was ably filled by Rev. Walter
Evans, and we apprehepd the large audi
ence assembled, although they may have
been disappointed, were both edited and
interested. .-... o. r.-s-,
There were no services OF the Presby-
terrain Church yesterday, as the pastor,
