In our last issue We referred to the
fac. that a young boy named Harry
Jennings, who resided with the family
of the late John 2. Jennings. ia this
place, had been missing for nearly two
weeks, and that just as We were goin;
to press We received information Of
bis being found under the house. nearly
frozen to death. After being di'cov-

hardly intelligibly, AMI fingered in

DEAR FRIEND Il have received
Jour private as we'll US public cores
ponlencc in relation to the forthcom-
ing Irish colony to this State. re.
greet that | could not at an earlier
time reply to all your inquiries, and
give your proposed colonists ample
satisfaction in relation to their now ell.
,erprisc. ParOchiul duties detained me
to great extent, and | also waited to
futhom the nature Of our present posi-
tiou, so as give you tho real state of
things, aud thereby render you au cx-
act account OF how land matters staud
10 this State. l have given tho mat.
ter deep consideration, balanced aud
compared tue western portions of the
Union with our State. and my honest
convictions favor West Virginia in
preference to any Of the States out
west. Our rich soil, wholesome eli
mate, and the advantages offered to the
poor man. have induced ,uc to arrive
at this conclusion. l have already
told you that my definite reply would
DO conscientious and impartial.
First Of all, our people receive all
strangers with true and genuine Old
Virginia hospitality, aud are too high
minded to grasp at anything which is
not noble to an elevated degree.
My practical experience among them for
many years gives safe guarantee for
what | assert Of them. The next re-
mark | feel like making is that this
State docs not intend to inaict on her
citizens "plaguc ofgrashOppers' to
eat up men and cattle.
l am not inclined to detain you with
i long letter, but request that you ut
once send out your prospecting agent"

From the Inter- ocean, Of Saturday.
As was stated in yesterdays issue,
Judge Drummond, before ordering the
execution of deed by the master of she
United States circuit court to Heyman
Osterberg, as trustee for the German
bondholders, directed that an examination
should be had before Mr. Bishop, master,
into Mr.. Osterberg's accounts, in order to
ascertain whether that gentleman was q
proper person to undertake the trust.
i he examination was gong on Thursday
and yesterday.
Mr.. John P Whitehead, auditor of the
railroad, was first put on the stand, and
testified that Mr.. Osterberg, upon taking
possession OF the road, had directed him
to open an incidental account, to which
he debited the inventory of supplies and
material turned over to him by W. II.
Ferry, receiver, amounting to $26, 500 81
and that Osterberg had used various sums
for sundry purposes which were charged
to said account amounting to over $4,000
and nothing in connection with said ac
counts hao ever been included in hi.
monthly. statements to the court, or in
cluded iu the exhibits until after the film.
of the Hooper aud Robinson bills. AlsC
that $4,000. which had been been charged
as Osterberg's salary, was, since his return
from Frankfort, charged and entered al
telegraph expenses, etc.. and that tn
large amounts charged for renewals OF
locomotives, rolling stock, and Furnishing
ties, should properly be charged to repair
and belong to operating expenses. Ais
that Osterberg drew $lO,3lO.22 which b
claimed was for interest, and for whic

That during the time Osterberg had bee
