No delegates have been authorized to
20 from Hancock county to the Graf
ton Cspital-Removal Convention, on
W ednesday next; yet if these few lines
should happen to fall under the perus-
ing eye OF any body who is a delegate,
they are to inform him that Hancock
ia as sound as an uninfiated dollar on
the question Of removal. Out upon
your preposterous Charleston say we
all Are dust aud mud, are miasmata
and the fork OF the Elk so dear that we
must purchase them at such prices as
we have been paying? Inflated taxes,
bungling, misinformed or uniniormed
legislation; things done in a corner
depletion of the citizens and the OFF,
cisrs purses in mid-African'like joar-
neyings. These be only part OF thy
fruits, oh, ill-devised P. S. If the COD
v.ntion shall only do anything 10 re"
lieve us from the body Of this death,
named Charleston. it will have earned
high merit and distinction, Give US
Parkersburg, Clarksburg, Wheeling, or
better, perhaps, than either, Grafton.
Give US in brief, any approachable place
where, with which aud the body OF the
State communication is cheap aud ready
and which stands chance OF receiving
i'm mpressions from civilization and pub
lie intelligence.
I observe with that concern which
must fill the breast OF every patriotic
citizen OF the world, that 8 most diff
cult and worrying question OF court
precedence, has arisen IN England,
as between the new Duchess Of
Edinburgh, (wiie OF Alfred and dauga-
ter of the Czsr) and the princesses OF the
blood. 1t vexes me that our sage and
eminently common sense cousins should
have upon their hands, unsettled and
apparently insoluble, conundrum OF
such vast weight and huge practlcab-
itv. And it raises in my anxious
breast multitudes OF apprehenslons and
queries touching oar o~n beloved prln-
ces and princesses, now that they begin
10 marry. What will be the status IN
curia OF him of Sartoris, what his title
in the calendar OF our approaching
Ceessrean court2 Does the undeniable
right to have office, which attaches by
virtue OF marital contact with Grantish
or Dentish blood, fix itself also IN Sar
toris Notwithstanding his alienage?
Where does he rank with the Dukes
Crsmer, Sharpe a.d Casey? Will that
comfy which obtains between friendly
EN- pires whilst it gives the Princess
Nellie front place at VlctoriA 5 draw
ing rooms, yet remand Sartorls back to
the com pany of that low Marquis that
welded Beatrice And Prince Fred, is
going to England shortly, where be vii
doubtless marry too. Now how will 1t
be between his Princess and Nellie I
You see it will be the English case
brought home to us, with but very
slipht variation. And how dreadlully
Distressing! Let our wise men cease
their bother about banks aud currency
and tariffs, and set themselves to deter
mining these mighty questions right at
the start
The Helen D'Este theatrical troupe
performed three nights last week, and
is to give three more performances this

Ifanybody is prospecting for loca,
ton to start grocery store he may
stop before he enters the suburbs oil
New Cumberland. There are now no
lever than thirteen of that class OF
mercantile establishments there.
The temperance folks of the town
have formed very stringent assocla-
tion for reporting all cases OF drunken
ness and Illicit sales OF spirits. The
authorities inaugurated practical Gala
hoosiug last week by sending apatent
soap vender, named Wilkinson, to the
lookup over night for getting drunk.
They bave drug s'ores in the town, you
know, and then OHIO is just across the
stream, aud ferries are plenty aod
cheap.
