DY VIRTUE OF A DEED OF TRUST,
d made by the Wheeling Centripetaf
Power Company, corporation existing
under the laws of the State OF West Vir-
ginia to me as trustee, dated the 10th day
OF March, A. D., 1874, and OF record in the
office of the Clerk Of the County Court OF

On the 9th instant, a Cabinet
meeting was held in Washington, at
. which it was determined to sustain
Chamberlain as Governor of South Car
olina, and recognize Mackey's House of
Assembly by means of military power
and to reinforce Ruger with additional
troops. If this state of affairs goes OIL.
another war cannot be averted; but the
first blow will not come from the South.
1t will come from the free and enlight-
ened people of the North, who will not
be robbed of the fruits of a justly
earned victory. The scheme of impeach-
ing Grant has fallen through, not be-
cause he does not deserve it, but be-
cause the Southern Democrats are the
only conservative ones in the party.
They want to leave the case to the good
sense of the Northern people, and if
Grant knows when he is we'll off, he
will withdraw the troops from South
Carolina and allow Hampton to be in
augurated, as he was elected. The time
may come when the Southern conserv-
atives will be unable to hold the North
ern Democrats in check.
, 1876-12-16

Since the above was taken, many
logging camps have shutdown for
the winter and some hands have
been discharged from the coal mines,
many of whom are laboring about
the wharves or repairing the streets;
hence we believe the average float
ing population to be nearer 500 than
800 souls. The immigration has
also been greatly in excess of the de-
partures, as will be shown by the
pursers' returns on the steamers
plying from San Francisco to this
place.
From the first settlement of the
place by Messrs. Bell, Denny, Hor-
ton and others, in 1858 to 1878, a
period of twenty years, the number
of buildings erected was 575. In
the three years that followed, the
number of buildings put up, was
291. As our people are no longer
satisfied with the primitive charac-
ter of houses built from 1858 to 1861 i,
it is not a wild assertion to express
the belief that the 291 houses built
in three years will bring more money
to-day than what remain of the SIS
houses built in the first twenty years
of our existence as city. Take the
new United States Hotel, the Col
man Block and Frauenthal building,
the new bank of Dexter Horton &
Co., to say nothing of the Front
street improvements, and the esti-
mate is by no means a vague one.
In the nine months of 1876 up to the
period of compilation lat buildings
had been finished, which is in excess
of any city on the coast, excepting
perhaps San Francisco. The style
of such residences as those of DR..
Weed, Dexter Horton, Esq, and
others who have established their
prosperity here, is a good guarantee
of the permanency and stability of
our city. We commend a purchase
of the Directory, to be sent East, by
all who can afford it, to show their
friends what sort of a place is ours

The other two mares are

And cannot be expected to show in any
part of the race. Ballinette is a we'll.
bred mare but was starved at yearling
and has never recovered from it. As
for Lola Lodi, the ''talent" have never
found horse slow enough to pull back
and let her win. Lodi occasionally gets
good racehorse-such as Nathan
Coombs or Camilla Urso-but this mare
cannot be ranked as their equal at any

A man let a COW into his yard at
Port Townsend and the bovine dame
fell down a we'll. They rugged a
pair of shears to hoist her out, and
got her on terra .tfrnaa, after which
the shears fell and broke a boys leg.
We have not yet heard whether the
doctor who set the boys log got
home alive or not.

The contest over an award of q pre-
MUM to bull at Victoria Fair. has
cost at least $75 of compositors' wages
in the past six weeks and crowded out
ten times that amount of advertising.
What a contentious lot of old fellows
those are, to be sure.
