MAJOR BIcknAM, Of the Dayton, (OhiO)
journal, who writes at length, nnd very
pleasantly, Of his late visit to Bethany
during the commencement, was surprised
to sec such large attendance Of "hand.
somely dressed and well hammered pcO.
pie" lie says that "onc would hardly
expect to see 80 much refinement in that
rugged mountain region" but II was
nevertheless fact that "ladiCs and gentle
men, young and old, hocked in from the
mountains by hundreds-On horseback
and In as handsome ttirnontS as yon will
see in the best Ohio counties" However
this state Of things is, las the Major ex-
plains) Exceptional in West Virginia
and Is accounted for by the wide spread
influence Of Alexander Campbell and tho
refined members of his family, some Of
whom las the late Mrs. McKecver) estab'
liShed private schools and semiharies fol
either sex in the neighborhood." tIt
also explains that
"NYashington College, Pennsylvania,
only twenty miles away, also exercises its

During his life, Mr.. Campbell made II
q part Of his contentious business, to In
fldence his neighbors, and thus II hap
pened that the poor, rs well as the richer
portion Of the people, felt the effects oi
his Christian benevolencc."
Perhaps we should explain that many,
many years ago, the Major himself was a
student at Bethany where he now has a
son), and that he did not stay long
enough to get fully acquainted with the
country and the people, was owing to the
fact that his animal spirits we're too ire.
pressible for the discipline Of the institu.
tion, He is, therefore, cxcusable for his
wondermOnt as to the numbers Of we'll

speaks Is about the highest priced piece
