FROM JACKSON COUNTY.
JACKSON COURT HOUSE, w. VA, /
June 18th, 1875.

Since nv last communication to you
refreshing rains have fallen, and re-
freshed the earth in this and adjoining
counties and hope it has been general
ali over the country. Negotiation and
crops of all kinds have revived, and the
prospects for a good crop OF corn ana
potatoes are more encouraging. The
agrangers," and farming community
generally, as well as those not directly
Interested in agriculture, are wearing
more happy and cheerful faces.
On last Tuesday evening severe
storm. accompanied with rain and hail,
passed over small portion ofthls county,
doing considerable damage to the grow
/ ING crop. blowing down fruit trees, Ike.
/ Insects of all kinds, except that pest
known As the potato bug, are more
numerous than ever known in tins sec
ton. | am informed that the. potato
/ bug" is not so bad this year as last; they
seem to be disappearing. God speed
them on their way; We have no use for
them.
The June term of our County Court
adjourned on last evening, having been
in session all last week. y considerable
amount of business was transacted, but
/ few cases lett on the docket undisposcd
of. The only cases of much Importance
were that Of the State rs. Geo. W. Hawk
upon charge, of forgery and the case o
Slferd Parson Us. Jno. ). Cardcr, toI
damages upon breach Of warranty OF 4
horse. In the former case the prisoner had
a preliminary examination, and was nc
! quilted, the court being OF the opinion
that no felony had been committed. IL
the case of Parson rs. Carder larg,
number of witnesses WAS examined ant
a GOOD deal of i'll feeling elected. The
case was very skilfully managed on boil
sides, and ably argued by VS.. Arm
strong and w. a. Parsons for the plain
tiff and Geo. j. Walker and John ii
Riley for the defendant. The jury haC
the case under consideration for some
twelve hours and not being able to aSre'
was discharged. a grand jury was I'm
paneled at this term and discharge
without finding any indictments. IhI

the present county court system, yet
believe it tranSacts more business IN tn

LIrTLEis known of the immense trade
in tobacco carried on between this
country and France. The later nation
takes thousands of hogshcads of Mary
land, Connecticut, Kentucky and Viz
ginia tobacco yearly and late circular
of the French Consul General in New
York refers to conditions on which the
French Regte or Tobacco Department
works it up into cigars, cigarettes, smok-
inc tobacco and snuff, and the terms on
which these products are offered for
sale. At the same time there appears in
the papers of New Orleans proposals en-
dorscd by by the French Consul, relative
to the furnishing Of large quantities of to-
bncco to the French governmental man
ufYcturers. The awards are to be made
tomorrow. one mistake the French
Government makes i, not giving more
and wider publicity to these demands
for tobacco. They seldom reach the
heart of the tobacco growing States, and
hundreds of men having large plantations
are not even aware that such demand
is in the market The principal compe-
tItors are persons in the cities, most of
them Germans who have been in the
business for years. These men take adj
vantage of tie want of information
among tobacco. growers and dealers, and
exact n heavy price from the gov
ernment of France. 1t is a practical
monopoly that operates unjustly from all
points of view. The tobacco men do
not reap the profits OF an advance. All
the increase falls INTO the hands OF the
contractors. If the French consul will
spread the proposals for tObacc" broad
cast in all the localities where that artl-
Gle i, raised or sold it will be better for
the French Government and also for the
tobacco raiscrs of the United States,
who, under such system will have at
least fair proportion Of the profits,
which now falls to the contractors. The
tobacco crop Of the United States is OF
immense importance in both loca! and
national sense, and it should be so work
ed as to benefit the people to the highest
degree. If in the future the French
conSuls in this country intrustcd with
the duty Of obtaining tobacco for the
government under contract will publish
the proposals in Il more general manner
they will open wider field of competi-
ton and call forth more bids and at bet
ter rates; ut the same time the monopoly
which has existed in this matter for
many years Will be abolished. II is too
late to reach the bids for this year, but
those of 1876 can b" put upon e better
platform if the representatives Of the
French Government will act in a proper
manner.

the 18th inst, has few errors I'M it that

The lady did not, as it was stated, be-
come enraged upon not receiving her
money and insist on having it then and

When she presented her order to the
''young hedgeling,' who occupies the
position of Deputy Sheriff of Marshall
county, he very CURLY informed her that
he hadn't the money to pay the order
and didn't know when they would have
it. She then asked, in order to save her
trouble, if he couldn't give her check
Oh the bank and notify her when to pre-
sent it, This he refused to do, saying
that he didn't do business in that way,
declining in his lotticSt manner TO d.
cuss the matter any further. The lady
then told him what The thought of his

The lady knowing that she was an

WINNIE Ream's GirIdh q Od.

A correspondent of the'Chicago Inter-
Ocean saws: This bewlldering young
moulder Of craven images Is Kansas
,,irl. The paternal Ream was for many
wears Il resident of this State, where he
followed the avocation of bookkeeping.
He operated first in the Shawnee House,
Leayenworth, and afterward in the Ed
ridge House. ut Wyandotte. The pa
irons of these hotels and citizens OF the
towns named recall the Winnie Ream of
those days rs pert, plump little body,
with remarkably bright eyes and handy
way of waiting upon the guests at the
table; and it is related that when the fam
lily made the journey from Leavenworth
to Wyandotte she drove the COW. walk
ing the whole distance barctooted TO save
her only pair of shoes. Nobody who
knew her in this sylvan eM of her
girlhOod is able to recall a single sign in
her looks or her actions of II bent for
chiseling statues. And vet it is fair to
suppose that the divine atllntus" had at
least whispering Judgment in her mind
even then, if We are to accept the liuttcT-
ing estimate which her friends put upon
her work IA All artist lfshe ever "Sculp-
ed any thing in Kansas except biscuits
and butter rolls, there j, no record or re-
mrmbrance OF it; nor Is ii known here
how and when she first commenced her
working of miracles in stone. She had
but little education and no art training
when she left Kansas; and to people .
thcreabouts she is herself greater Won
der than all her statues. II seems nearly /.
to credit the fact that a Girl .
who only few years ago was washing
dishes in frontier boarding house,
should now be winning worldwide atten-
ton in sphere which is supposed to de- |
'nsud the highest and subtlcst genius. I
Putting aside the question of the real value |
of her work AS an artist the fact Of her !
success rs a woman, her triumph over OBJ !

,urinount, is not without signal claim to
general and praiseful recognition. If

Saturday evening, at the Geological

by the teeth and hoofs of valiant

much esteemed at the Garden for his
sage and witty remarks. and on ac-
count OF which he has been allowed
the freedom OF the ground, walked up
to the kennel of fox to take drink
of water from pan which was near
the door. Sly Reynard was ON the
alert, and while the crow was engaged
in shaking his thirst darted from his
den and seized the crow, with the evil
dent intent of picking the bones Of
the bird for his supper. Surprised
and sorely frightened. the crow tapped
his wings, cried Justify and struggled
hard for his life, which attracted the
attention Of keeper, who rushed
forward and with some difficulty res
cued the bird from the very jaws of
death, as it were. The fox skunk into
his kennel. much mortified at having
missed rich morsel, while the crow,
with great effort, winged his way to
neighboring tree, and cawed loudly.

been saved. Poor Charcoal was,
however. badly hurt, and may. like the
donkey that whipped the lioness, die
of his wounds.-Cincinnati CONNER

Suppose the Government of the
United States should initiate the green

said imitation initiate the pocket-books
of the masses and make plethoric their
money pockets. the seams Of which
had been torn in the vain search Of
their proprietors for currency To
hear infationists talk, one would be
led to suppose that such was their be-
lief, but we cannot conceive that the
advocates Of such policy believe their
own teachings. They are simply APP
pealing to the passions OF the ignorant
in the hope of associating with the
Republican party the hard times
which now bear upon the country.
Reasoning and reasonable men. espe-
cially those who keep informed touch
ing the commercial value of money,
know that scarcely ever in the history
of our country has currency been held
So low by our bankers as now. All
that is needed by the most needy, is
security, to produce all the paper
money desired The market is full
but buyers are scarce. OF what mo-
ment, therefore, is it that more bills,
more promises to pay, should be
printed?-Lawrenceburg Press.

they will crafty more persons in the
States than in Utah, for tens of thou
sands there insist that Brigham knew
nothing of the affair, and could not
prevent it. Who will reconcile these
things? We call upon his able apollo
gists to explain. We ask Of Hon. w
Il: Hooper, who SO long represented
this people in Congress, and made
many warm friends in Washington, to
explain. If he would not be branded
now as the accomplice and associate
of nurderers, an accessory after the
fact. it is time that he speak out.
The time was, gentlemen, when
Mountain Meadows could be denied
or totally ignored-when it could be
charged wholly upon the Indians, or
roughly stigmatized as GENTLE lie.
But that time is not now. The best
Mormons in Utah know and deplore
it, and their best friends in the States
are convinced that the whole horrid
tragedy was the work of white Nor
mons, and some of them high in the
confidence of Brigham. Tell us, if
you would save yourselves. who is
and who is not responsible for this
most foul and unnatural deed. 1t is
a time for every small man to stand
from under, and for every great man
to publicly wash his hands of that
blood 1t Inay not be possible to con-
Wet the heads of the Church legally,
but the moral evidence against them
is too strong to be ignored. They
must give facts to candid world, or
stand convicted before the eyes of
mankind.

Southern ssandittf.

The Southern banditti are at it
again. This time the success of
their hellish butcheries are trans
ferred from Vicksburg and New
Orleans to Independence, Texas,
where a small body of Republicans
assembled in grove had listened
to three speeches that had been de-
lvered, and were partaking of a
picnic dinner, when they were set
upon by dozen s'banditti," armed
to the teeth and mounted, who at
once began to beat with loaded
whips the three gentlemen who had
made speeches, forcing them to
leave the grounds bleeding from
their many wounds. They next set
upon couple of negroes who were
found with a couple of old muskets
in their hands as they came to the
meeting, one of whom, Offering no
resistance, was easily shot down,
while the other. who had been with
Jackson at New Orleans, when a
boy, and now sixty-five years old,
dubbed his musket and wounded
one of his assailants, but they were
too many for the stout hearted old
camp follower of .'Old Hickory,
and he fell riddled with bullets, and
the miscreants then crushed his
skull. The murderers are at large
and are applauded for their brutal
conduct. And yet your Southern
brethren say that Northern Repub
hcans mus stop grinding that
''outrage MILL" and come down
South and Settle with them and be
protected as we would in the North
Well, gentlemen, we shall have to
ask you to excuse lis this time
The fact is, we feel as if we would
just as soon remain up here in a
country where Republicans don't
receive such marked" attention, if
it is all the same to you.
