FROM JUDGES CREEK.

FUDGE's CREEK, w. Va, June 9Th
1S15:-Thinking a few items con
corning matters generally, might not
be out of place, take the pen this
morning to jot them down. The
prospect for crops Of any kind, is
not very fattering throughout this
section. Wheat will not average
more than half crop. Oats are
PLAYED out, and unless the Crows and
Ground Squirrels are exterminated.
corn will have a hard time of it.
Many of the farmers complain also
that their corn does not come up;
perhaps the fault lies in the quality
OF the seed.
\ rigorous spirit of combativeness
has been displaying itself during the
past two or three weeks Several
lively skirmishes have taken place
during that time. Nobody is serious
" hurt though
Ginseng and may-apple seem to
he in grea: demand just now, and
the woods are full Of persons, search
ing tor the above mentioned roots.
Some persons in this community con
slider it quite q lucrative business, and
start their children to the woods daily
in preference to starting them 10
school. No doubt they see great adj
vantages in such a course, but can't
see it. Upon the rising generation
depends the future of our country,
and they should be fitting themselves
to tandle that future in manner
that will ensure prosperity and pro-
gress. l earnestly hope that the day
is near at hand when all will realize
that the free school system is the
very life blood of American liberty,
the fountain of knowledge, where
all, rich and poor can alike drink
| have just heard that a law is now
in existence compelling parents to
send their children to school thirteen
weeks during the school year. |
hope it is true, and that the people
may be made to see the wisdom of it.
Such are the honest sentiments of
Yours. More anon,

Tho New Blast Furnace.

The iron stack of the Kanawha
Iron Company's furnace is nearly
completed, and i! is expected that
the machinery will he in place
bv the latter part of this month. The
Company are doing their work in
the most substantial manner, the
stoncwork of the foundations being
especially we'll putup, Mr.. j G. Has
set being the contractor. From
present indications the furnace will
90 into blast sometime during the
month of September.
When fairly in operation, this com
pany will give employment to fully
five hundred persons and all living in
West Charleston. They will need
about four thousand bushels of char
coal, one hundred tons of ore and
seven or eight tons of limestone per
day. All these articles will be OBJ
tanned on the company's land imme'
diately adjoining the furnace, and ia
king the average work done by ore
miners and wood choppers, in connec-
ton with teamsters and those en-
ployed about the furnace, fully five
hundred men will be supported by
this one work.
Calculating an average of five per
sons to each working man, we may
expect to see an increase in West
Charleston during the present year of
from two thousand to twenty five
hundred souls, from this one source
alone.
The company have opened five diff
erent veins of ore Oh their land, but
are only working one-the brown
hematite-for which they are paying
50 per ton, delivered at the furnace.
Mr.. Witherow, of lronton, is the
architect of their work, and claims
that he is giving them a model fur
mace. Charleston Manufacturer.

THE Morgantown Post says that
two strangers arrived in that town
week before last who registered as X.
B. Porter, Of Buffalo New York, and
:. D Boyd. Atlanta, Ga.
They proiessed to be land buyers,
and after looking arOsnl two or three
DAYS found farm to suit them which
they agreed to purchase for $4,000
and pay 81 600 cash.
After the papers were prepared.
Mr.. Porter went with the owner OF
the farm TO the Merchants National
Bank where he produced check on
the First National Bank of Altoona,
for fifteen hundred dollars. The
check was signed by "Jno G. Por-
ter" to b. G.. Porter, and was en-
dorsed by the latter, and Mr.. Bar
ker. the owner of the farm. The
check was eashed; Mr.. Porter paid
Barker his 81 900 and pocketed the
five hundred. Porterand Boyd then
hired a horse and buggy to 60 up te
the farw. and in the meantime the
cashier, Mr. Wagner, feeling little
uneasy, telegraPhed to Altoona and
learned that Juo. q. Porter had nc
funds there.
Some parties started after the mer
but met them coming back, they said
they had concluded to 90 to Fair
mont. On arriving in town the,
were examined before Justice Davis
Who committed Porter to prison, but
discharged Boyd, there being no evi
denee against him. The jail Is in {
very dilapidated condition and :
guard was placed over it, but thu
guard went to sleep, and the prisoner
escaped. Boyd also disappeared anC
they have not beeu heard of since
| The FIVE hundred dollars that wa
paid u Porter was secured and re
turned 20 the Bank.

We cannot understand the tactics
Of the Greenbrier Independent. 1t
certainly seems very inconsistent.
In an editorial. May 29th, it says,
"a Judge can no more enjoin the Gov
ernor and prevent in this way, the
execution ola law, than the Judge of
one Circuit Court can prohibit the
Judge of another circuit from taking
jurisdiction of a particular case"
This is very far fetched and can have
no bearing on the case in point A
Judge of one circuit may issue an
injunction and eWoin the execution
OF a decree issued by another Judge,
and if a Judge of a Circuit Court
takes jurisdiction wrongfully another
Judge Uo,dd interfere with him.
In another paragraph, speaking of
Judge Smith, it says, "all that he
has done, has been prompted by the
highest motives. There is not with>
in the State q more conscientious
man, nor 4 more devoted patriot
Judge Smith SAYS in his decision,
''the Court is of opinion and doth de-
cide-that this Court has jurisdiction
to ascertain and determine the con-
stitutionality of the law described in
the bill, and to enjoin the removal of
the archives Of the State &C., until
the Court has passed upon the con-
stitutionality OF the law &c"
How can these things be reconciled?
If. as the Independent saws, Judge
Smith is prompted by the purest
motives-how can he declare his au-
thorlty and jurisdiction over this
matter, when the Independent says
he has no right at all in the premises ?
Either the Independent or the Judge
must be wrong. The thing looks to
Us very much like the argument oil
an attorney, who arguing ease he

his rulings, wishes to placate him

Virginia, is the result of the machina-

procured the passage of the bill, re
moving the Capitol to Wheeling.

confession. On technical points, he
was granted a new trial, and was

cut and hauled to the steam saw-mill

which turned out nine thousand five
hundred feet of plank! The tree
produced ten logs which were ten
feet in length. The top log, or the
log nearest the top of the tree, meas
ured three feet in diameter, in the
yellow. The tree was cut on the
lands of Mr.. Porterfeld Boyd The
lumber from this one tree was suffi'
cient tc erect a comfortable and good
sized dwelling house, for which pur-
pose it was used. There are quaint
ties of Il ees of the same kind on the
same lands, hut the trouble is that
many of them are larger than the
