FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
We had the pleasure on last Sunday
evening of listening to one of the
most beautiful and eloquent sermons
we have ever heard in Huntington,
preached by Rev. DR.. Brown of ka-
nawha Salines. The subject was an
inspiring one; the delivery was ex-
cellent, and it was couched in SIM
pie but expressive language that
could be comprehended by the most
ordinary intellect. Services were
held at the church on Monday and
Tuesday evenings. There was a
large attendance on Monday even-

West Charleston is bidding fair to be

other industries, including a large To-
bacco Warehouse, are already in opera

Company ore putting up their works,
with the expectation of having them in
operation in June next.
Not only is West Charleston to have

also being made by the same Company
to erect Friedrich Works, thus utili-

only few yards, which is one of the
finest seams yet found in the west.

scarcely fall short of FIVE hundred, aid

from Germany for the cure of coughs, Sc
we're colds settled on the breast, Consump-
ton and other diseases of the throat and

Druggists in all parts of the United States,
and nearly 1000 letters from Druggists
are now on our files, saying that no other

we ask is for you to go to Smith, Davis &

and try it. Regular size IS cents.

MICHIGAN d ONO K. R.-The
people of Portsmouth will make a
great mistake if they do not most
earnestly eEdeavor to raise the
amount necessary to secure the bull
ding of the NJ. & o. r. r. to their
place. They can well afford to pay
double the amount asked of them.
Ironton has not half the number OF
inhabitants Portsmouth has, but il
the capital invested there was as pro
ductive as it will be in the course OF
a year or two, they would raise the
amount there, and if that should be
the case goodbye to Portsmouth
Ironton would then be no rival, but
would be so far ahead that Ports
mouth could never reach her.

ton to dose, we believe she would of

THE ALDEN FRUIT EvAPoRAroR.

THE ALDEN FRUIT EvAPoRAroR
Last fall, Capt. Parsons, DR.. Nc
Cullough and Others proposed II
erect an Alden Apparatus for drying
fruit. They solicited a good many
of the Lawrence County, o., fruit
growers, as well as those on this side
the river to take stock in it, a great
part of which could have been paid
in Fruit. The offer was refused the
farmers preferred to ship their ap
Piles and other fruit, green. What
has been the result? Thousands OF
barrels of apples have been shipped
from the upper Ohio to New Orleans
and other points, which have been
sold at less than the actual cost of
the freight. Some shipments have
sold as low as % cents barrel, 9TH
ers so cents barrel. The freight in
40 instance was less than 90 cents a
barrel. If the Evaporation had been
built, the apples would have brought
more per bushel than they did after
shipment pei barrel, and the expense
of packing, barrels, wastage, freight
&c. saved.
1t is safe to say that the actual
money loss on apples shipped from
Lawrence County, o., and Cabell
County, w. Va, would have paid
every dollar OF the expense OF erect
ing dryer with capacity to use up
all the fruit at home.
We believe another effort will be
made to erect a dryer, this spring
and we hope it will be done. One
of the most valuable products of the
country will then be the Blackberry,
while by the use of the Evaporation it
can be made available in large guam
titles, producing considerable reve-
nue.: We hope to see dryer in op-
Grafton before blackberries are ripe.

STocK TRADE ON THE G. d 0. r.
R.-Vice-President Wickham, says
the Staunton "Vindicator," has issu-
ed orders to build stock pens at Mil
ton and Scarie, on the Western di-
vision, and the citizens of the vicini>
ity, recognizing the Importance of 1t,
have offered to furnish the material
for them At Huntington they are
about building stock pens where cat
tie may be housed and fed, and
where stock sales may be held, which
will be convenience for Kentucky,
Southern Ohio, and that portion on
the Ohio river. 1t is believed that
these arrangements will result in 100
carloads Of cattle over the road per
week. Amovement is in contempla-
ton to build stock pens at Staunton,
which may serve as rendezvous tor
drovers, who may keep their stock here
at cheap rates, and upon finding by
telegraph the. prices in Baltimore,
can deliver them there in twelve
hours-loading their stock in the
evening and arriving there next NOM
ing. This stock trade brings ether
trade. For the six weeks ending
with January, % carloads of freight
came over the road from Gallipolis
and Ohio, for Richmond, Baltimore
and Norfolk. AS return freight,
400 sacks of coffee have been shipped
by one Richmond firm to Gallipolis.
Major HotchkiSs, the agent for the
road, who is organizing the stock
transportation on the Western part OF
the road, is sanguine that it will grow
