The business at the wharf increas
es weekly, both in city and through
freights. The local shipments, con.
sisting mainly of hoop-poles and 9th.
er merchandise continues al moder'
ate rate.
The C. & o. steamers Fleetwood
and Bostona ore running on good
time, generally making connections.
The through freight is increasing al
such a rate that these boats are nc
longer able to carry it. During the
week just passed they were assisted
by the Telegraph, st. James and
Ohio; as a consequence the wharf ha,
been all life and hustle in removing
and transferring tothe cars. \ notable
change has taken place in the pas
senger train in the past thirty days
Both ways the trains arrive and dc
part well filed with people.
The steamer Fashion continues il
the mail trade between this place anC
Portsmouth. She arrives daily at 4
o'clock. She made the run Monday
by half past two.
Major Jas. Stratton, of the Tele
graph, will remove his family to Hun
tington at an early day.
The Tow Boat Crescent City blew
up last week on the Arkansas river
destroying entirely the boat and he
tow. There were ten lives lost, anC
number wounded. The damage
amounted to 100000.

evening at which addresses are de
livered by different persons, and a
prayer meeting every morning at
Nine o'clock. Some very interesting
meetings were held last week, when
large crowds we're present, except on
Friday evening, which was very
rainy.
On Sunday afternoon meeting
was held at Ingham's Hall, conduct
ed by Rev. ]. A. Kibbe, who made
an address; and several other persons
spoke.
On Monday evening last, a large
meeting was held, conducted by Mr..
Bowers, who made speech as also,
Rev. Mr.. Griffith. Persons in the
audience being requested to speak, a
gentleman rose in his place, who ap-
peared to be a stranger here, whose
name We did not learn, who made
decidedly the best speech that We
have heard in the meeting since 1t
commenced; his heart was in the
matter, and he stirred the feelings of
those present, in no common degree.
He gave a narrowing description of
the death of his brother, who died a
drunkard, and stated that he then
vowed 10 devote his energies TO the
advancement of the cause of Temper
ance.
The following are the names OF the
officers of the League of Huntington.
President, Mrs. Eastman; Vice Presi-
dent, Mrs. Shore; Secretary, Mrs.
Durham; Committee of Arrange
ments, Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. briggs
and Mrs. Adams.
Fifty four ladies have signed the
Ladies Pledge" and by so doing, are
constituted members of the League;
Sixty three gentlemen have signed
the general pledge.
1t has been determined after con-
siderable discussion on the subject,
that the President of the Ladies Lea
que will take charge of the Mass
meetings assisted by the clergy
Several persons from abroad are
expected TO address the meetings
from time to time.
We are indebted to Mrs. Durham,
the accomplished Secretary Of the
League, for information.

cult Court ism session here to-day-Judge
Evermont Ward presiding. Owing -
high water, and the fact that most Of our
citizens are engaged in the lumber bust
ness, the Grand and Petit Juries we're
discharged on Yesterday, before they were
empanelled And, therefore, with the ex-
ception Of chaacery business and such
law causes as parties agree to submit to
the Court, no legal business Is being trans
acted. The following visiting attorneys
are in attendance, viz: Salnuels, Stollings
and Watts, of Boone; Kenna, Payne and
Laidley, Of Kanawha; Witcher, Ragland
and Plymale, Of Wayne; and Cisson, OF
Marion.
The village Of Logan C. II. is situated
on the Guyandotte River, some seventy
FIVE miles from its mouth, on a beautiful
plateau, surrounded by lofty and pictu-
rescue mountains. 1t was here that Thos.
Dunn English spent his early manhood,
and from It's lofty and magnificent scenery
he breathed the poetical inspiration that
mar6ed his after life. And il was just
across the river from here on a rocky
mound, that the last armed band Of In
dian warriors was ever seen in Virginia.
The surrounding country is not only rich
in minerals and timber, but beautiful farm
ing lands unfold themselves to the eye
only awaiting the enterprising immigrant
to make it one Of the veal hest counties
in our mountain State.

To THE EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER
During the winter, in compliance with
the school law, | visited most OF the
schools of our county; and while | saw
very much to cheer my old heart, and give
me renewed hopes OF the near future, |
saw some things that l hope not to see
again but of this in its proper place.
Taken as a whole, the schools OF this
winter were decidedly better than those Of
last. There was more harmony, and GER
tainly mere earnestness. To give de-
tailed account of each school, would be TO
give more than you would care TO print,
or the people care to read. However,
with your permission, l will call special
attention to the Huntington schools. 1t
is my habit to drop in unannounced, and
BY this means am always sure to find
the school in its working dress. After
two visits of this kind, with opportunities
to know all that could be known, take
pleasure in saying that Prof. Chase and
his corps Of lady assistants are the right
material in the right place. The schools
are well graded, instruction thorough, and
order good. Particular people may think
the little folks might be little more quiet
and orderly. Kind friend imam or wo-
man, if you think so, go up and try it
an hour. When you went 10 school, so
many privileges were not allowed! More's
the pity. l have taught school for thirty
years, and during that time have visited
the schools of those people who had the
knack Of keeping children quiet and Of
ten have / seen the little innocents that
should a, that time have been out in the
pure sunshine Of heaven, steal a side-loug
hasty glance at me, and drop their eyes as
though they had committed a crime :
Who cannot read, at once, the whole ago
nizing history? Such teachers as these
crush out the very lives Of children. Such
stiffness is not order it is the stiffness Of
abiect fear-the stiffness Of mice when
the cat is near. May God forever preserve
your children and mine from such an ex-
perience. Friends, think Of this matter
Every one in the Fourth Avenue school
teachers and scholars-are doing their
duty. also visited the school taught
by Mrs. Delany, and the colored school,

and beautiful city. Adieu.
