HARD times don't seem to interfere
with the matrimonial market in Hardy.
The Courier q advertiser says that 90
marriages were celebrated there from
January 9TH to February LIST, and several
licenses were issued besides. The above
paper, however, hopes that since this Is

considerably improved.
SAYS the Charleston Courier: awe
learned yesterday from gentleman who
arrived in this city from Cannelton, that
the miners at that place stopped work on
Tuesday last. He was not positive about
the cause of the trouble, but said that the
men and propretors OF the Cannelton
mines had had some Misunderstanding.
We hope that the difficulties, whatever
they may be, may be satisfactorily ar
ranged.
IYCEND1ARIEs are having a good time
in Parkersburg. Two stables have lately
been fired there, and the first was COM
pletely destroyed. Speaking of these
fires the Sentinel remarks:
ave don't believe in violence beyond
the limits of the law, nor anything OF
that sort, but still if this incendiary was
caught and suspended to lamp post, we
hardly think the community would be
injured 10 any SIcat oA'0"
WE learn that few nights ago the
office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court
of Webster county, was broken
open, and all the indictments, together
with other papers, stolen. Mr.. Is. Z.
Conrad, the efficient Clerk, is doing
all that he can to discover and bring the
guilty parties to justice, but rs yet he has
been unsuccessful. This is the second
time, within about year, that this crime
has been committed in Webster county.

SOME man in Keyser has been made a
victim of much ilnatured spite through
the medium of valentines. The Tribune
says: ~ Kcyser youth got eleven val =
entincs. One or two illnatured, spiteful
specimens of ugliness sent man, as
copies of himself, might not accomplish
the desired result, to-wit: provoke him
to protanity-bu but when eleven one cent
inventions of hatefulness are sent the
same individual, it is enough to overtaI
the most forbearing disposition, and
swearing is almost the inevitable conse-
ouenCe. There is reason in all things"
PARKERsBURG domestics must be a
belligerent set. The Times says: "On
Monday night two colored servant girls
employed by Mr.. Howard, got into a
oasrrel. which resulted in Jane Early
cutting Alice severely in the face. The
case was up before the County Court,
and DIR. Scott testified that Alice had two
severe cuts from the top of the forehead
to the chin, splitting the nose and nearly
severing the lips That the cuts, how
ever, were not at all dangerous. The
court held Jane to answer the indictment
| in bond of $500.
An interesting trial will soon take
place in Clarksburg. y Morgantown
belle was engaged to be married to a
young gentleman of Washington. The
engagement was broken of and the ring,
very handsome one, duly returned
! The youRg man never received II, now
ever, and thought his quondsm lady-love
intended to keep it. Circumstance re-
vealed the tact that clerk in the Fair
mont postoffice had stolen it from the
mails. He was arrested and will soon be
tried. No names are given but the trlaI
will develop them, and will probably be
quite An interesting one.
SOME people wont be stopped when
they make up their minds to do thing
