Eg- LARGE CANOES. Tho Elk Riy-
or Iron Company, says tue Charleston
Courier, have eomc very large canoes
which they use for transporting pro.
visions, material. 60 from this city to
their works on Elk River. We are in.
formed that some Of them arc G5 feet
long and nearly / feet wide; at any
rate they load barrels crOss'ways in
them. Now, it strikes US that one Of
these canoes would give better idea
of the size of our poplar timber than
perhaps anything else we could send to
tho Centennial: They are light and
easily transported aud We have no doubt
that if the attention Of tho Company
was called to the fact they would cheer
fully give US ono Of them for the pur-
pose. This Company will. We under
stuud, have some iron Of their make
on exhibition at tn, Centennial. and
the additional trouble Of sending one
Of these canoes would DO very small,
and We feel satisfied they will make the
contribution for the purpose of adver-
vertisiug tho immense amount OF tine
timber in tho mountains Of West Vir-
ginia.

and brought Mr.. Mansfield McWhorter
up to the rack, charged with secretly
giving aid and cOuntenance to one from
tho country to como to Jane Lew and
gobble up ono Of our best citizens and
carry her of. They handled him
pretty severely. Among tho able
counsel was Ne. George Oliver, who
did some loud spoutlng on Tue part OF
tho prosecution. Mr.. McWhorter and
another gentleman, charged with q
similar offence, were bound over to ap-
pear at the next term Of Court. which

IT. DEATH OF An OLp PIONEER

ET DEArH OF An OLp PIONEER
SErrLER.-Geo,ys T. Dural, native
of Harrison county, pioneer settler
of I4ewis-a soldier Of the war Of 1872
a good citizen and au honest man, is
dead! He was born near Bridgeport,
10 1871, and died at bis residence on
Sunday morning, February 9th. 1876.
and was consequently in the s5th year
of his ago. lie settled in Collins Set
Element, this county, about tho year
1910, when there were no roads, no
mills, no schools, no churches. and no
post Offices nearer than this place, and
perhaps Jane Lew. lie aided the
people Of his neighborhood to build
their houses and clear their lands. He
was for many years constable and q
magistrate in the Collins Settlement
District, and never defaulted for cent.
In politics, hO was u Democrat, and
scarcely ever failed to attend the elCc.
tions. For many years bis nearest
voting place was Clarksburg, 40 miles
from his home, whittier he went to vote
for Judge John G, Jackson and Gov
ernor Joseph Johnson-thc former long
since dead, but the latter still living,
having passed his four score and ten
years. When George T. Duval settled
where he died, the bear, the wolf, the
deer aud tho wild turkey wcrc his con.
slant companions. The choicest vcnison
and wild fowls stood at his door, and
all hc had to do to supply his table with
these delicious Injuries, was to draw
his old rifle from its rack, and take
steady aim. lie raised large family
aud lived to SEQ them all grown up and
settled in different States Of tho Union +.
Hc fulfilled tho mission Of life. lie
married early-cultivated the soil, de-
Tended his country in timo Of danger
was industrious and sober, and died as
hc had livCd-an honest man. Peace

TT KNIGHTS OF THE ROAD.-We
are fast returning to ancient customs
in this region. A short timc ago, we
arc informed, a gentleman was driving
along the GaulOy pike, In Braaton
county, when couple Of men rushed
out Of tho bushes, seizcd'tho horses,
and in most approved style-a la
Claude Dayul-told tho driver to
"stand and deliver" They also made
a remark to the effect that they mus,
have bis money or bis life, without do
lay. A couple of pistol shots, howev'
er, which unfortunately did not bit the
rascals, sent them back to tho cover Of
the bushes The driver did not recog-
nize tho parties.

TT Prove Youn LoYALrY.-A
New ITEM Illustrated by an Old Story.
We understand that Major Barr, an
agent of the United States COmmissa-
ry Department. is now perambulating
in this State on behalf of tho Court Of
Claims. His mission. as wo arc iu-
formed, is to investigate the status in
matter Of loyalty, Of persoai in this
State, who are now urging claims be-
fore the Court for payment for proper
ty destroyed or taken by tho Federal
troops during the late war. At last
accounts no was in Braz,On county.
We have suggestion to make to pnr-
ties whom be may visit, which it
would DO well for them to heed; and
We can explain it better by relating
"a little stcry." as Mr.. Lincoln
used to say, than any other way
Shortly before, or about the
close OF the war, an old citizen of this
county. who had lost several horses
and other valuable property by the
dc2redatious Of Federal troops, put 10
a claim for payment therefor. As a
matter Of course, in making out his
papers, it was necessary 10 prove his
10y atty. and he did SO by Dr.. Dent,
who had always been in direct sympa-
thy with the South, although he had
committed no overt act agaiust the
glorious Union OF the Fathers The
papers were forwarded to the proper
officers at Washington, and as nothing
was heard Of them for some time, il
was supposed that the claim was get
ting along swimmingly, uatil q cloud
was cast over all concerned, by the
appearance Of gentleman in the
capacity of Major Barr, tcho came t
inquire as tOthe loyalty efthe 'Citness
1t did not take long to satisfy hin
that Dr.. Dent was not sound on tht
Union question and We can certif.
Of our own knowledge, that that CLAIM
has not yts been adjusted. WEI wOul'
therefore recommend to all persons
who have claims of this nature to sec
that the loyalty Of tho witnesses ncces'
sary,is like unto the virtue Of Caesar
wifc-aboVc suspicion.

We copy from the Irish World as
follows: j. G. Mccormack, Of Sharon,
Pennsylvania, informs us that colo.
ny for settlement in West Virginia is
being formed in that town. He is de.
sirous of obtaining information as to
whether it is q healthy State, what
sort the climate is. the average kind
of soil, price Of land, where there is a
chance to settle al Irish.American
colony near church, schools, 60. We
have no doubt that there arc many Of
our subscribers in West Virginia who
can pu. Mr.. Mccormack and his friends
on the right track. Let them look
out for the glariug letters Of railroad

there will b. plenty Of such illusions.
