II seems that the memory Of this woman,
like that Of her renowned husband, Is like
" to be kept alive 10 the end OF time. She
Is said to have possessed a very irritable
temper, and her name has become sy-
nonym OF "yixen," or "scold." II is more
than possible, however, that the judgment
passed upon her by mankind has been too
severe. A more charitable disposition
would undoubtedly have discovered in
her, many good qualities, and have at
tributed her failings more to physical mfr
mites than to moral obliqnity. The party
most intimately acquainted with her, and
therefore best able to form a correct opin-
ion, gives her credit for many domestic
virtues. tits now well known that many Of
the diseases to which women are subject,

CLARKSDURG AFFAIRS.

CLARKsDuRu, W. Va, February TO-
Editors IntOlllgcneor:
Things in this ancient town are moving ~
nm. Our town Is rapidly approaching the
dimensions Of a city, and its business IN
o,anses YEARLY. We only need some new
;nJnstries 10 make the place sure
snouph" city-a few manufactures. But
s 81" dag because we have too much capi-
,"I and not a sufficiency Of labor: That Is,
onr capital is invested in merchandising,
SSnSiSg, and curb-stone brokerage to
,oo large an extent, while q very
anal ,Uy amount is invested in the in
,ln.tries. A hundred thousand dollars
invested in n manufacturing establish
ment ia more efficacious in building up i
town than million in banking. A..
But taking all things into CONFEDERATION
We are getting on finely here. There Is a
vast deal Of talk OF hard times, Dut not .
great deal of them felt. Our merchants
arc generally doing well, anu our i ne,
chRnics have about as much work rs they
can do. Our lawyers have iair employ
ment because our courts have assumed u
chronic type. Our physicians nave .
good deal 81 leisure because Clarksburg IS

with fortune.
500 COURT ITEMS.
speaking Of courts reminds me that the
County Court is now sitting here, presided
aver BY Hon. B. Tyson Harmer who
narts his name rs dandy parts his hair,
In the middle. Harmer is good fellow,
an innocent man, and does not appear to
have a very exalted idea Of a County
Court as a! tribunal Of justice. Imean
that he is too good natured for his posi-
lion, He permitted the Court this week
10 receive a present OF peck OF pea
nuts and inflicted no punishment on the
impudenl donor, but, on the contrary,
received them thankfully and he and his
associates in the language Of one oil Mac
beths witches, "monched, monched and
monched" during good part OF lone AT
ternOOn.
Blu. this term OF the County Court is u
grand Jury term, and the grand jurors
have been hunting up violators Of the
liquor law who are not by any means
few and far between. All grades OF soci-
civ have been summoned TO testify, the
aFistocratic imbiber OF good liquor when
he can find it) as well as the rough habit
tie Of the board shanties around the
railroad depot, who is satisfied to get
drunk on mean, cheap "bust head"
A POWERFUL JURY.
ABORTION of the grand jurors, however,
on last Tuesday perpetrated one Of the
best Jokes OF the season. The grand jury
labored six hours and made thirty-one
indictments, and late in the afternoon
came into court and repozed the thirty
one indictments, and tVZSe Of them 1.-THE
grand jury presenie;tH demand Of the
County Court :, /Hnt license, because
presenting aIsSinst a man under our
State Law That must have been a po-
tCnt<|Snd jury to overcome thirty:one
eosaibilities in one day. Three OF the
grand jury, however, dissented and en-
tered minority report, which did great
credit 10th to their heads and hearts.

that there is quite buzz in the hive Of

solved to reveal all be knows relative Ia the
frauds committed against the county and

vouchers for building the court house, but in
fraudulent elections. His revelations will
involve many republican as well as demo
cratic officials, and the particulars OF the

frauds Will involve scores OF persons who
have been hitherto unsuspecied.
WOODWARD, AS THE MANAGER OF TIE

SpiratoTS, and these he has carefully pra-
served. During his six years of voluntary
