OUR wELLsBURG LETTER,
wELrsnuud, W. Va. January II.

WELLsDuuu, W. Va. January II.
Editors Of the Intelligence:
Within the memory Of the venerable old
est inhabitant, has there never been such
trying times as we have had and are now
experiencing. Dizziness, ifthat be pro-
per title, is monarch OF all, and rules
with n powerful rod. Old hard times,
whose death song was sung all over the
land some eighteen or twenty years ago,
has come to life, and dwells among US.
How soon some one politically inclined
may be called upon to chant his requiem
again we care not. We have hardly any
thing to talk about; there has not been
nine days wonder for long while. Moth
ing even at police headquarters. Plain
and ornamental cases OF inebriation
caused by going across the street to see a
man, are scarce. News items of all kinds
are dull and dropping.
Brooke Cemetery Company, adyertises
for bids to remove all the dead in the
burying ground at the north end OF Wa

well to take notice.

Prof. Pendleton called attention TO the
necessity-if VIC would be properly rep
resented at the Centennial Exhibition
Of preparing list Of the articles manu-.
featured here, with the minerals and
other products Of the county, and TO col
lect specimens OF the same and have them
forwarded to headquarters. Considera-
bic in,ctest was taken in the meeting,
and there is no doubt butthe committees
appointed will use every effort TO have
Brooke county fully represented at the
Centennial Exhibition.
A protracted meeting is in progress ut
the NJ. E. Church, which thus far has re-
suited in several additions TO the church.
A few mornings since tramp fully ak
feet high, and able bodied in proportion
was soliciting the small sum Of FIVE cents
ito procure a cup Of coffee" He was ad-
yised to go where that Article was keptfo
sale, make his wants known, and he could
get it without money. This was too hui
initiating for him. As suspected OF him,
few hours later, he was drunk. Moral,
don't give money to tramps. We refused
to add TO the wealth Of one Of these pests
to society recently, and were informed in
return, that we would never enter the
land ofeternal rest, for turning the poor
away. G.B. c,

The INrELLIaESr JuRoR.-The intel.
lisence Of the juror Of the period was
handsomely illustrated by an event before
Judge Biddle, in the Court of Common
Pleas, last week. 1t appears that a case
had been given to jury, and the twelve
mon and true were on their way from the
court room to some sanctuary where they
could deliberate upon verdict. A juror
Outright intellect conceived, just ut Ahis
critical point, that his duties under the
law had ended, and that he might retire
with propriety to the shades and quiet Of
domestic life. He thereupon at once pro-
ceeded to the bosom OF his family, leaving
his eleven associates in some perplexity
and alarm. The intelligent Juror was
brought into court on bench-warrant,
when he said that he thought the matter
was all over, and that his services
would nolonger be required. The Judge
reprimAnded him, but SO dense a case Of
ignorance did not permit of anything else
being done, and il Is probable the jury
man took the scolding for a compliment.
He had apparently some dim sort Of a
notion that Il he listened to all that was
said upon q trial he did his full duty,
and that the parties conceSned in the suit
might then get out Of II the best way they
could. OF course their must DO another
trial, involving not only expense but the
time Of the court already set down for
other matters, and perhaps deranging the
plans Of lawyers, witnesses, and numerous
other interested parties; and ali this
owing 10 the stupidity Of man Who
should never have been allowed 10 sit up.

These were his last words. How much

them He who had commanded great
armies, and was long accustomed to the

small courtesics of life All, how many
boys do! What rude tone OF com

mothers They order so. That is ILL

you please" will make you better served
than all the cross or ordering words in
the whole dictionary. Do not forget
three little words" II you please"
