MARY's last and only illness was ell
dured with great patience and fortitude.
She entertained hopes that she would
recover until about week before she
died. When informed that her end was
approaching she said she cared not to
live only for her husband and children !;
those she commended to God and re-
signedly awaited the messenger that
should summon her from them. A
short time before she died she was heard
to exclaim-"My Father, take me to
Heaven" She then passed without a
struggle over the dark and turbid stream
and is at rest with her Maker.
Weep not friends, she has gone to that
blissful shore,
Where we all shall meet to part no more.

have not enjoyed good health for
several years past, yet have not allowed
it to interfere with my labor. Every
one belonging to the laboring class
knows the Inconvenience of being OBJ
liged to labor when the body, from de-
bility, almost refuses to perform its daily
task. l never was believer in dosing
with medicines; but having heard the
VEGETINE spoken of so highly, was de-
termined to try it, and shall never regret
that determination. AS a tonic (Which
every one needs at some time) it sur
passes anything | ever heard of. 1t in
vigorates the whole system; it is great
cleanser and purifier of the blood. There
are many of my acquaintances who have
taken it, aud all unite in praise of its
satisfactory effect.
Especially among the aged class of
people, it imparts to them the one thing
most needful in old age-nights of calm,
sweet repose, thereby strengthening the
mind as well as the body. One aged
lady, who has been suffering through
life from scrOfula, and has become blind
from its effects, having tried many rem
edies with no favorable result, was in
duced by friends to try the VEGErINE
After taking few bottles, she obtained
such great RELIEF that she expressed
wish for her sight, that she might be
able to look upon the man who had sent
her such blessing.
Yours respectfully,

RAYMOND CRY. w. Va,

RAYMOND CITY. w. Va,
June II, 1876.
Thinking a few items from Kanawha
Valley would be of interest to your
readers, must confess it pleasure to
chronicle the same. Not that times are
so much better here than in old Seal
liza, but because one feels so much re-
freshed to forget the studies and cares
of life for few days, and meet kind
friends and relatives after many long
months separation.
Business along the Kanawha is COM
paratiyely dull.
Crops look very well, especially corn
and wheat. Apple crop is fiattering,
but peaches nearly all killed.
Raymond coal works are silent as the
tomb, and have been for four weeks
past. The Superintendent, Mr.. Jesse
Bright, Jr., was married to Miss A.
Capehart, of Point Pleasant, w. Va,
recently. They are now at the Centen-
nial, on bridal tour, and will return to
Raymond City ria New York and Rich
mond, Va. May happiness ever attend
them is our prayer.
Have spent several days in riding
through the country up and across the
Valley, and find money as scarce as in
Crown City, or any other point in Gal
liza county.
Misses Lille Shaw and Alpha Rucker,
of Crown City, will accept our thanks
for the splendid boquet, so artistically
arranged, aud presented by them last
week.
We will write you from another point
affording more items of interest next
week, and thereafter hope to mingle
with the beloved friends of Crown City
for another short season.

Putting It's Foot Into 1t.
From the Louisville Commercial

The Cincinnati Enqmirer's eager
ness to make point against the Re-
publican party, led it into trap yes
terday. 1t headed its telegraphic &C
count of the arrest of Beaumont, at
Mayfeld, for the robbing of the
mails, ga Republican Editor Arrested
for Robbing the Mails" The shoe is
on the other foot. Beaumont was as
far from being Republican editor as
he could be, as he is the Democratic
editor OF the Mayfield Democrat.
He is the second Kentucky Demo
cratic newspaper man who has got
into the clutches of the law for teloni
Gus appropriation of other peoples
money in the last few months. The
Enquirer should note, too, that they
were both soft-money men, and il
was their zeal for more money that
got them into it.

The Nomination for Congress.

The Nomination for Congress.
The Republican Congressional
Convention, held at Portsmouth,
last Wednesday,, nominated by ac-
clamation Hon. II. S. NEAL, of Iron
ton, for Congress. This is nomi-
nation which will be received by the
Republicans of Gallia County with
feelings of great satisfaction. Mr..
NEAL was born in this city, and
lived here until he reached the years
of manhood, and is known and re-
spected by the people of the county
as an honest man, and a true and
tried Republican. He has the abili-
ty and the experience to make a
creditable Representative, and should
he be elected, as we believe he will
be, the District we are firmly con-
vinced will never have cause to re-
gret its choice. He understands the
interests of the District, of the State
and of the Nation, and he will ever
be found an honest and earnest advo-
cate Of the rights and necessities of
all.

Hon. Homer G. Jones also made
few remarks, in which he strong
ly indorsed Bristow for Presi-
dent and it was very evident from
the cheering that Bristow was the
first choice of the convention.
The following Congressional Cen
trail Committee was appointed:
Scioto, j. S. Pollitt; Gallia, James
Harper; Lawrence, VIM. Belts;
Hooking, Capt. L. II. Bright; Vim

The Democracy of West Virginia
held their State Convention at
Charleston last week. 1t was very
unharmonious body. The causes of
dissension were finance and the Capt.
tai location questions. The latter
proved most serious obstacle to
unanimity, and at one time threaten
ed to disband the Convention. But
the Convention ultimately calmed
down, and proceeded with it's bust
ness. 81. M. Matthews, of Green
brier county, was nominated for Gov
ernor. The vote stood, Matthews
269, Eastman 131, Price 100. Two
reports on platform were submitted.
The minority report contained the
substance of the Ohio Bill Allen
platform on finance, which was de-
feated by vote of 260 to 223. The
platform finally adopted RENTS the
money question to the Congressional
districts. That is the office seekers
way of getting rid of a vexed ques-
tion.
Mr.. Matthews appeared before the
Convention and made a speech, in
which he placed himself on the plat
form adopted, and pledged himself
to support either Hendricks, Han
cock, Tilden or Bayard as Presiden-
tial candidates, emitting to name the
Ohio imitation favorite, Bill Allen.
In view of the attitude of the
West Virginia Democracy, the Gin
cinnati Enquirer is constrained to
remark: "And the Democrats of
West Virginia are also made by their
Convention TO put their mouths in
the dust"

Too True.

Says the Cincinnati Commercial:
@Never in the history of Congress
has the business of that body been
so far behind at such stage of the
session." The fault lies with the
Democratic House. By the Consti-
tuition, all appropriation bills must
originate in the House, and yet, not
withstanding Congress has been in
session over six months, "six only"
saws the Commercial, ''out of the
twelve great bills of appropriation
for the ordinary necessary expenses
of the Government have been ma
tured and passed in the House of
Representatives, the others not yet
having been even considered by that
BODY" The attention of the House
has been turned from this important
and necessary work to engage in par
tisan investigations, the primary OBJ
iect of which has been to smirch the
character of prominent Republican
politicians. The character of these
Investigations is correctly set forth
by the Commercial as follows:
Meanwhile, the Investigations them
selves have been conducted in the
most unfair, partisan, and suspicious
manner. For the first time, we be-
lieve, in the history of the Govern
ment, nearly all of the Investigations
have been carried on in secret, with
closed doors to the press, the public
and in many instances, the persons
inculpated. A systematic endeavol
appears to have been made, by keep
ing out evidence favorable to the in
vestigated, by closing the doors to
publicity, by putting leading ques
tlons to some of the witnesses, and
browbeating and frightening and i'm.
prisoning others, to force verdict OF
co get up agarpied report On the Da-
sis of including everything unfavor-
able and excluding everything favor
able to the party on trial. The OBJ
ject of all these dishonest methods oI
investigating is clear enough to the
public mind. The purpose is sc
manifestly partisan and political, SC
clearly not aimed at the purity oI
the public service, but to coin little
petty and despicable party capital
for the Democracy, that the people
will know how to appraise the re-
ports of these committees, when they
come out, at their true value.
This is the reform Congress which
was promised the country if the peo
pie would only elect Democrats! The
seventh month of the session entered
upon, and only six out of the twelve
appropriation bills acted upon! How
do you like it? In fifteen years OF
Republican rule nothing like it has
been seen.
