ing liquor, You know Snyder, our good
looking genial friend Snyder-wcll, there
are twelve of them against him. If II
man keeps bottle Of Chris Seibkcs bot.
tied beer in his cellar, the Grand Jury
of this county will drink it quicker n
wink, and then bring IN true bill
against him. That's the kind Of hair
pins they are.
Brother McFadden has invented Il
new kind of hog trough. He has got
patents on it foot thick. If YOU use
this trough you don't have to give your
hogs anything to eat. They get so much
satisfaction looking at the trough and
remembering that their brother McFad-
den made it for them that food is no
object. Me as you know, is Radical
amongst radicals, but, Loriec, cant he
build hog troughs
was obliged to cut my report OF the
proceeding OF the Board Of Directors of
the Penitentiary short, yesterday, so as
to make the train. But little else was

constructing the prison, were ordered.

Our rolling mill is doing power of
good. 1t is said that the best hoop iron
made in this country is made here, and
l believe it. Anyhow, don't know
where they make any better. The best
of material is used, and what Mr. Whip
pie don't know about iron Is not worth
learning.
There is some talk about building a
hotel here. The lot suggested is of about
an acre in extent, and is most Pleasantly
located. Should such hotel be built.
persons from Wheeling would find here
II most delightful summer residence for
themselves and families. Those who have
the project in hand are confident that
they can get the b. " 0. Railroad to put
on II Wheeling and Moundsyille accom-
mediation train, 50 that those who wi-hto
have their families here can leave
at an early hour SO as to be at business in
the,morning returning here after bust
ness hours at night.
Moundsville holds, just now a funny
position. She is county Capital with
out the capital. As | wrote you n week
ago. she sold the court house to the gem
tlernan who contracted TO build the new
one, and court ia only held in it now by
permission of the owner.
We have had the pleasure and satistnc-
ton of seeing the plans and specifications
for the new Court House, designed by
Charles Kemple, Esq, Of your city.
That it will be, when completed, the
handsomest and most perfect building in
West Virginia no one conversant with
such matters can doubt. The style is
strictly Grecian. On either side are tow
ers of elegant shape. The Court room
proper, the different offices, the wit
ness, jury and judges rooms
are roomy, we'll ventilated and
comfortable. Every little detail has been
carefully considered by the eminent archi-
tect and every want provided for. The
change from the present old barn to this
proposed superb structure will bea grand
thing. Mr.. Kemple has shown himself
to be one of the first architects Of the day,
Judging from the complete and elaborate
plans he has prepared for our Court
House
You had gorgeous rain yesterday;
we hear your cutters ran like mill tails.
Here we had about fifteen drops. From
BenwoOd down to the head Of the mar
rows the standing crops were beaten
down to the earth. From Rates rock TO
this point not twenty-five drops Of rain
fell, by actual count, and | know the
man who counted them.
Yours, =.
