SUDDEN DEATH. The communi-
ty was a good deal startled on last
Sunday morning to hear of the death
of the mother of Rev. j. ID. McClin-
took She was quite an aged lady,
and her health had been feeble for
some time. During several weeks
past the Younger Mrs. McClintock
has been sick, and the little boy, to
whom the grandmother was very
much attached, had the scarlet fever
Mr. McClintUck too has been sick,
and his mother exerted herself great
" in taking care of them all. She
had an attack of Erysipelas, and
her system weakened by age, and
the extra exertion which she had
been making, succumbed to the dis
ease, which ended her long and well
spent life, on last Saturday night
She was an affectionate mother, and
her death is a sad trial TO MIR. Nc
Clintock and his family. Her re
mains were carried by Mr.. McClin
took to Indiana, where most of hei
children live.
They left here on the Bostona Sun
day evening; Mr.. Geo. 5. Laidley
accompanied Mr.. McClintock in hl'
mournfnl pilgrimage.

such thing. In case the road should

court and receiver become the guar
dams of the workmen's interests,

The men who have been paid of

A Calico Item.

Of the thirteen hundred women il
Huntington, it has been ascertained
that twelve hundre ed and more wear
calico dresses, and as it requires about
eleven yards Of the goods to make 4
dress, it will be seen that it take,
about 1920 yards every six months
to calico our females-the average
being two dresses each year. 1t i:
also a curious fact, that of the above
Is, 200 yards Of calico more than tive
thirds of it was purchased at the wei
known cheap store of Harrison d
Co., Sd Avenue near Ninth street
This firm is now selling calicoes of 9
superior character at eight cents
yard, two cents cheaper in the yarC
than was ever before known in Hunt
ington. 1t.

| GUYANDoTTE. The town of Guy.
andotte is one of the oldest in the
State, and from indications to be
found all around the locality, it was
doubtless the site of large Indian
village, hundreds of years ago. just
above the town, on the Ohio, there
are extensive deposits of the usual
Indian relics, such as, stone-axes,
arrow-heads, flints, bones Of different
kinds, pipes &c.
The location of the town is very
pretty, being on a large level tract
OF land extending on the Guyandotte
river about mile, and on the Ohio
about one fourth Of a mile from the
point formed by the union of the
rivers.
There is a good business done there
at the time RATS come down, and the
place then presents quite lively ap-
pearance. At q good stage of water,
Push boats, can ascend the river a
hundred miles there being large
cargoes of country produce, ginseng
&c, which is disposed Of at Guyan-
dotte, where it is often loaded into
covered barges and carried as far as
New Orleans.
There are number of Saw mills,
a Woollen factory, a Boat yard, and
other industries there, and some ex-
tensiye business houses near the riv
er, which sell a good many goods.
Capt. John Bonner, one of Guyan-
dotte's most enterprising citizens,
launched fine deck barge on last
Friday, which he named the "Guyan-
dotte" in honor of the place, and to
show that it is not half as dead Is
some folks wish it was. There should
be no rivalry between Guyandotte
and Huntington; what viii build up
one will help the other, and the same
causes would operate to the injury Of
both.
Mr.. Chas Hall has purchased a
large quantity of produce Of different
kinds, with which he proposes to
make a trip down the river.
Several barge loads Of produce
went from Guyandotte, Green Bot
tom. Quaker Bottom and Proctors-
vile on this rise.

CARGO FROM LOGAN CoUNTY.-A
Aat-bOat came to Huntington last
week from Logan County, by way Of
the Guyandotte river, with a cargo
OF over 5000 lbs of Ginseng, worth
over $4,000. The boat came down
the Guyan river more than 10 miles
The Ginseng was shipped east, via
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad to
Philadelphia, thence it goes to China,
to be used by the Celestials, as good
many folks use tobacco. They made
a mixture of Betel nut, Lime, Cling
seng &c, wrapped in a leaf of the
Areca, and chew it. Ii makes their
teeth red, which is considered highly
ornamental.

BLAST FURNACE.-We had IN {
pleasure cf a call on Monday last,
from ]. B. Walker, Esq, and Mr.
Dunlap.
Mr.. Walker is working up with
his accustomed energy, the project
of building Blast Furnace in West
Charleston. He assures us tina. II
will surely be built; the furnace will
be located on the bank of Elk River at
the upper end of the property of the
West Charleston extension property
With the facilities for getting sup
plies of Coal, Ore and Limestone
there. there can he no doubt that
Iron of fine quality can be made
at as low a price as anywhere else III
the world. 1t strikes us that a ju
dicious admixture of the local ores
and the black band from Davi;
Creek would give one of the finest
machine casting irons, that could be
made, having the same qualities
as those given by an admixture O
Scotch Pig in the Cupola.
When we get those extensive
Furnaces in Huntington that are
contemplated, We will allow thu
/ Charleston folks to come down her,
and learn to make Iron.

DARING HlaHwAT .RosBeRg =
On last Tuesday evening sIr. 2. 7;
Holden, who has been working al
the Round House, received the pay
for four months work, amounting to
about one hundred and sixty dollars.
As he was going home, about 10
o'clock. when near the corner Of 9th
Avenue and 10th Street, four negro
men rushed up to him and told him
to hand out his pocket-book He told
them he had none. They closed
around him and one of them put his
hand III his hip pocket and took out
the book containing all his money.
They then ran away. They..had doubt
less seen him get bis money, and fol-
lowed him for the purpose of rob
bling. Mr.. Holden had not been en-
gagged in the strike, but his job was
suspended on account of the dull
times. He was to 90 to work again
in the spring, and in the meantime
was intending to make a visit to his
old home in Lexington, Va.
He came back and informed the
Marshall of his robbery, but the roo
bers had escaped. There is a gang
of uegrl rutfians infesting our town
which should be cleaned out. We
hope persons having occasion to be
out at night will go prepared to give
them a proper greeting in case they
are disturbed Huntington is fast
earning an unenviable notoriety in
the existence of unpublished crime
and some decisive steps should be
taken to put a stop to 1t.
There are at least fifty negroes
about the town now, who are anne
nable to the vagrant law, and itshould
be strictly enforced. They do not re-
ly on labor to support them, and
are compelled to resort to crime.
