POEM OF DANIEL B. LUCAS, ESQ.

Editor Of the Spirit Let me call your
attention to the just and critical notice of the
"beautiful and appropriate" poem of our
county-man Daniel B. Lucas, Esq, delivered
at the semi-centeunial celebration of the
university of Virginia There is mott NAV
with propriety be said-a gentleman, in the
country whose opinion is more to be priced
in matter of taste aud poetry than Mr..
Lovell's, one of the Editors of tho Warren
Sentinel, from WHICH clip the extract
below. His endorsement is, then, literally
that of the Laudatus a Laudundis. You
will crafty the people of our county, gen.
orally, by publishing the notice of the poem
of our county-man. Of whom we may all be
proud, and in whose fame We all have an in
terest, as our own. He is part and parcel of
US. JEFFERSON.
We give our readers, on the first page of
this issue: the beautiful and appropriate poem
OF our personal friend Daniel B. Lucas, ESQ.,,
delivered at the Semi Centennial celebration
of the University of Virginia, on 3Oth ult.,
aud endorse what correspondent of the AL
exandria Sentinel says of it:
Gas poem, it wil1'compare favorably with
any poem ever written by an American AS
delivered, it was the grandcst thing ever
listened to. The speaker has superb voice,
and his gestures and the fire of his eyes
thrilled one to the very centre of his heart,
and as Writ says sent tho blood shivering
along the arteries The University may
point with pride to her two Alumni, Lucas
and Poe, as ranking among the foremost poets
of America"
Capt. W. W. Scott, whose csMetic taste is
weekly shown in the columns of his excel
lent paper, the GOraOnsUi1Ze Gazette, thus
writes:
"N1r. Lucas has the true and traditional
poetic cast of countenance, fair faced, deli
cate features, and large blue eyes which are
liquid, soft unfathomable. He read his poem
with genuine emphasis and pathos, which
brought his audience as much in sympathy
with it as he himself appeared to be. 1t was
a noble garland which he brought and laid
lovingly on the brow of his alma mater, and
his audience listened spell bound while he re-
cited it"

They give no opinion in regard 10 the

account of the attempted capture Of

OUR good natured Jeweler, Geo. Brown,

tent In the pursuit of his last avocation he
proceeded on Monday to the farm lately own

miles north of Martins Ferry, which has re-
Gently passed into the hands of Mr.. Brown
and DR.. Fl. West, for the purpose of thresh-
ing some grain grown upon the place. The
threshers had completed their work, and the
wheat amounting to 110 bushels was sacked
and nicely piled up and covered over in the
field, ready to be taken to Wheeling market
on Tuesday morning During the night some
persons, who are certainly known, drove on
the premises with two wagons and took the
wheat to market of their own. Mr.. B. was
at first somewhat astonished at the discovery,
but upon learning that immense rats infested
that region he became quieted.

The Wool Market.

The Pittsburgh Gazette of Monday,
says the harvest being nearly over we
should now expect to see some move
ment in the Fine Wools of the country.
AS yet we do not hear of any agents
from Eastern houses or manufacturers
being in the country, nor is it probable
that there will be until wool growers
yield considerably in their views.
With straight grades of X and Xxx
fleece selling at 45@46c in Boston, with
all the unmerchantable thrown out, we
do not see any profit or margin in the
average clips of Fine Fleece at 40c.
All accounts agree that the present
state of both wool and woolen goods in
the Eastern markets will not permit a
higher price being paid for the present
clip than 40c. Buyers are exercising
more than usual caution in rejecting all
greasy and heavy woods unless at the
proper discount.

Wine Products of New Jersey

. wine frOOuctS Oh new Jersey
This State is becoming celebrated for
grape culture. Some of the richest
port in the world is produced in New
Jersey by Mr.. Alfred Speer, whose
name has become celebrated as a pro-
ducer of strictly pure unadulterated
wine. The Port Grape Wine of Mr..
Speer is not bottled or put in market
until it is four years old and has become
thoroughly fine and mellow. 1t has
proved itself wonderful assistant to
physicians, who prescribe it from the
fact that they have hitherto found it
difficult to obtain pure Port Wine
This Wine is recommended for debili-
tated persons; and is given to cousu mp
tives to use with fresh raw eggs, and as
a medium for taking cod liver oil. The
difficulty of getting an imported or
even pure California Port is we'll un-
.derstood to be so great as to preclude
Doctors from allowing their patients to
run the risk of its use. Mr.. Speer be-
ing aware of this fact has taken the ut
most care in the making of his wine
from the ripes and finest grapes, so as
to supplant the imported wines by pro-
ducing genuine article. His wines
are known by chemists to be pure and
and the most reliable for medicinal pur-
poses. The Druggists throughout the
country sell it, as bottled by Mr.. Speer.

Martins Ferry and Bellaire. The former was
presided over by Hon. ]. T. Updegraff, of
Mt. Pleasant, and the latter by Lycurgus Aus
ton, Esq, of Bellaire. The speeches of the
Governor, which were delivered in his happi-

well received. With the exception of some
local illusions to our important manufactu-
ring interests, his remarks were substantially
the same as that contained in our supplement
last week.

THE landlords Of our hotels have perfect
right to manipulate their own affairs, but we
are sorry they failed to strike bargain with
the agent of Barnum's Great Show wnen he
called upon them few days since. Not for
the moral effect, however, but for the finan-
cial effect. The merchants, the mechanics,
the confectioners, the printers, the farmers,
and, in fact, nearly all lose by such opera
tions as this. Let the shows come, get their
money, sell them hay, grain, everything.
Bring people to town. Sell them goods
collect old scores-make new ones. Still, be
virtuous, and you'll be happy.

Beyond the dark valley of Death;
Gone home to that glorious land,
Where flowers of perfumed breath,

Escaped from the darkness of Earth,
To that beautiful, sun-bright shore,
Where joys immortal have birth,
And the sad heart sorrows no more.
Released from the bondage of care,
A life's heavy burden laid down,
In the mansions of glory to wear
bright, never-fading crown.

Like dream passed forever away;
While her spirit exults in the dawn g.
