Of large experience and splendid abili-
ty-possessing, too, the essentials of a
Christian gentleman, has been elected

the melee.
The West Wheeling aud Burlington
pike is being rapidly pushed to COM
pletiOn, and when finished will be one
of the finest links of road in the State.
The Committee on right-of-way for

Their success and the encouragement
held out almost warrant the success of
the enterprise.
a. W. Campbell, editor of the Hltetti-
gencer reported in person General
Hayes speech, at Martins Ferry. Mr..
Campbell is, in our opinion, the first
man of West Virginia, and is editor of
the best paper in the State. The Intel

is eminently worthy the confidence and
patronage of all Republicans.

General Hayes with G. H. Arick, and
Mr.. Welday of st. Clairsville, and our
self were splendidly entertained at
supper by DR.. and Mrs. Atfieck, the
evening o. the Martins Ferry meeting.
The old DR.. is proverbial for his hospi-
tality, but this was Mrs. Affieck's en-
rertainment. She is one of the most
ardent Republicans alive-glorifying

firm by the flag for which he gave up
his young heroic life. All honor to the
mothers like Mrs. Aff1eck in the Re-
publican Israel. And may General
Hayes come round frequently!

The intolerable tramp nuisance has
broken out afresh, and like the pres

last few days Trustee McCOnaughey
has been besieged by groups of spav-

string-halted, blind and drunk for re-
lief. All have the one aim-to get
somewhere else-and they are shot of
speedily. '.'. '+ ..
The Cincinnati Enquirer says: the
recent.heavy rains are against the Re-

Some boys caught hard-shell turtle

back, wv. a., 1882 We presume it
was a companion at one time of Will

his estimable family, did very hand
lsome thing in their entertainment OF
Governor Hayes, VIM. Eggleston, A,
