Editors Of the Intslllgepeer:
This bright, beautiful morning makes
US imagine that Spring is again upon US.
The stormy month will soon close, and
then II Is to be hoped that we will have
good weather.
A large audience gathered last evening
at the NJ. +. Church to listen to the quar-
terly review Of our Sunday school lessons.
The lessons Of the quarter were briefly
reviewed by the Superintendent, and short
talks were given by Oscar Wright and
j. Alexander, teachers, and also by Rev.
Henderson, the minister on the Grave
Greek Circuit for the present year. His
talk was specially interesting 10 the little
folks. An interesting episode Of the even

chased by q number Of his numerous
friends Of Moundsville and vicinity, as q
slight token Of their esteem and friend.

happy and feeling one, and the reply, al
though on the impulse Of the moment, was
very appropriate and affecting. Bro.
Evans and family leave us tomorrow, and
bear with them the good will and we'll

leaves US with the we'll wishes Of both
teachers and pupils. Mr.. Bonar is well

our streets, and the country roads are
reported as almost impossible.
The old dramatic troupe Of Mounds

before the public in the school hall on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Large audiences are expected, and no

them. II. II. Cox and X. Curtis are in
the same business, and we will surely be
well supplied in the way Of plants.
Strange as it may appear, it is difficult
for renters to be supplied with suitable
houses. We fear that our building assoc
