Wash Smith chats his name)and a COM
panion were out shooting near the rail
road, when By some means . diSorderIy

them, and struggle soon followed;
whereupon the other negro cooked his
gun, and taking aim at Wash's head, dis.
charged full load of No. 4 bird shot
against that important feature OF his con-
stItution. Strange to relate the shot
was hurled back upon the aggressive
party with such violence a TO wound
him in several places. Not so much as
even dent could be detected on any
part of Wash's forehead, although the
shot struck him on several places. He
was, a week or so after this, passing the
base ball grounds when one of the boys
offered him cigar provided he would
not object tn being struck across she fore
head with bat To this Wash readily

Wool. Harvest, DC.

Editors Of the Register.
The farmer has listened to the pa.ter
of the soft ram on the roof until he has
become very tired Of it, it must be con-
fessed, yet it is all better than dry
weather.
Our harvest is being prolonged to an
unusual length; wheat often cut on the
fourth of July in this section is now
standing in shock on the seventh of
August, much of it, while we are trying
to getup our hay and oats between
showers. There Will certainly be very
little bright hay sold in Wheeling market
this season, and oats which would have
been above the average, will be put up
in damaged condition.
There is not as much inquiry now for
pasture to rent, as there was q month
ago. Isuppose in less then ten days after
the rains commenced green vegetation
Utterly doubled itself, corn, grass and
weeds ran right up, and even the leaves
on the trees had only put in stunted
appearance previous to the rains.
Imitation out here would dOus but little
good, we have nothing to turn into money,
except wool, and that is having no sale.
The wool growers feel slow about taking
45c, as this will not pay for the feed last
winter, and throw in the pasture and
labor, and | suppose there would be but
little wool sold We're it not
for the need of money to
meet obligations, and some men make
it point to turn their produce into
money whenever it is ready for the
market-n.very good principle maybe.
Speaking of wool, the future is very
discouraglng to the wool growers. For
some years past the feed consumed in one
season was worth more than both fleece
and sheep, and wool dropping down in
price each year \ great many will
probably quit the growing of wool after
this season; yet II great many farmers
who have taken pride in their ilocks,
are 10th to part with them, and besides
wool is the easiest produce We can han
die with our present roads.
understand that Ninian Bell and the
R'dseley's have sold for 56c. and 4. Il.
Jaiol f u 45c. Then fine fiber. Their
is something peculiar about the quota
tons for the wool market. Now see
by Eastern circular, that fine wool Is
quoted lower than Y Y West Virginia
and Pennsylvania, and all under 55c, and
vet here are clips selling for j6c. 1t Is
50 every season, there ia not perfect Ie-
liability to be placed upon wool quo
tations and this has a tendency to de-
moralize the wool grower. and is it a
wonder he is apt to set his figures higher
than the market prices.

but simply to give you a few items from

most important, and were it sold to-day

The traders license is violated by parties
who put the amount of their stocks much
too low In some cases, | am told that par
tics insure Il stock at threetOld the amount
at which they swear before the clerk it is

The saloon license is violated by retailers
of goods, who, for the purpose Of selling 10y

license for the sum of twenty five dOllals,
instead of saloon license costing $50
when in truth they do not keep an ordina-

The ordincry hacnsc is violated by q
class of hotcl-kccpcrs where the rent or
annual value of their property exceeds three
hundred dollars, in which case the license
is over T50-thC price of saloon license,
In such cases tECy take n saloon license in

confess, gentlemen, that these viola
tons of the law, brought to our notice by
the last grand jury, have taken me greatly
by surprise.
1t is the duty of the clerk, as one of the
financial agents of the state, when he knows,
as lie must know i'll many instances where
such gross violations of the license system
of the state occur, to report them to the
grand jury and he should warn parties at
the inc Of taking their licenses of the char
acter of the licenses they should take, to
authorize their respective businesses under
the law.

matters suggested in that report.
BY that report the Court has been inform
cd, and you will be informed, of many
grave evasions and violations of the license
laws of the state.
TO a proper understanding of youl duties
in the matter, it is proper that you should
be informed of the provisions of the license
system
First, what is known rs Il traders license
is one which should be obtained by all who
sell or barter any goods, wares and mer-
chandise, of which they are not the grower
or manufacturer. This license does not
embrace Spirituous or ttrmcuted liquors.
The amount of the license is regulated by
the amount of stock.
Second, another species of license is for
those who propose to sell sprituous or fer
mentcd liquors or lager beer. in quantities
not less than pint
The price of this license is graduated by
the stock kept. Ifthc stock does not OK
coed $500 the license is SIS, but in case the
law provides that where such an SIS license
is applied for, the clerk shall not grant it
unless the party shall also obtain n license
TO sell goods, wares and MERCHANDISE, regu-
lated by the amount of his stock in trade.
The object of this provision was to pre-
