Of relying too much upon text books
should impress upon their minds the
principles Ut q subject, the why's and

COyIyIUNICATED.

Dear Zittle-I Eotice in your paper
of the | lth inst, a short comment, upon
a resolution adopted at meeting OF
County Council" of Changers, held at,
or near Moler's Cross Roads, March the
4th, in which, the author asserts that
the County Court was unwiiiingly IN
duced to pass an order at one of its sit
tings, giving to each one OF its members
the right to pass over the tnrnplkes
within this county, free from the charge
of toll
1t being calculated to create a wrong
impression, and is already talked of, as
an unealled for slur upon those compo-
sing said court. You will allow me
space enough in your excellent paper,
to make the necessary correction, due
that body of county officers, Who'll have
charity enough to believe, have done
their best 10 do right.
At the first Fiscal term of the
County Court, It was suggested by a
member that the President and Direc-
tors of the several Turnpike Companies
within the county, be requested to per-
nit oil county o6fcers to pass over their
roads free of toll. The request was
submitted to them, and if remember
correctly Mr.. Logan Osbourn and Col.
Francis Yates, reported adversely to the
request, but kindly consented 10 let
the Magistrates pass free, which was
their undisputed right. The court ac-
cepted the situation and await the fur
Their action of the aforesaid Turnpike
Compniesa.
In conclusion permit me to say, when
ever my brother Changers can success
fully work the machine they now con-
trol, and show to the people OF the coun
ty generally, and Grongers particularly,
that they have succeeded fully and be-
yond doubt in their noble mission, then,
and not until then, will the court OF this
county be willing to submit questions OF
right, and propriety to the County
Council of Changers.
Very Respectfully,
JUSTICE.

D1r FROM HARPER's FERRY.-A
friend and subscriber, residing at Har-
pers Ferry, writes us as follows:-
"Mr. Zittle-Don't, please don't, pub
lish any more Snake Stories or about the
"Snake- bit Irishman. was trying to
make myself as comfortable as the Sc
we're pains in my side would allow, when
| undertook to read that snake story, in
your issue of the 4th of March. Had
YOU seen my tears and sufferiDgs, inten-
sified by my efforts TO suppress the
laugh that would come, you would com
passionate my condition. Then here is
DR.. o., with his cupping instruments,
to dig into my ribs, and then on top OF
this, stick fly blister. Oh, would you
wondsr if see snakes tonight Oh,
that pain That snake! That Irishman !!
Oh, don't do it any more; especially
when they concern friend BIS aud my
own countrymeD."
Another friend at IIarper's Ferry
writes as follows =
''On Monday afternoon, the 9th, fire
was discovered on Loudoun Heights. 1t
seemed to originate on the otherslde Of
the mountain. The wind blowing from
the South soon brought the fire over
which continued to spread and burn I'M
til last night, the whole presented al
most one mass of confagration. Fears
were entertained for those living on
the mountain. Some of the fencing did
cateh, and it looked to US upon this
side as if the flames were leaping on
ward, so rapid was its destruction. Blu.
whilst il the height OF its fury it com
menced raining, which soon extinguisb-
ed the fire. The origin has not been
ascertained."

THE DOG Law.

3 Mr. Zi,tle-Dear Sir-In your issue
of the 18th inst, | notice the puolIca-
ton Of law purportiog to be the law
authorizing tie County Courts to levy
a tax on dogs, for the protection OF
sheep. That law as published in your
paper,is 10 part of the law passed by the
Legislature at its last session, commonly
called the ..Dog Law" but is, | believe,
part Of Senate bill No. l26, offered
by the Senate on the same subject fer
Which ] was successful in substituting
House Bill No. Al, which is the Bill
that passed, and is now the law in every
county of the State where adopted by q
majority of the voters. Next week L
propose to furnish true copy of the
entire law as it passed. | hope that
every man in the county will read 1t so
as to be able to vote intelligibly upon
it when proposed for adoption.

yours, L. .. AMEN

W- We had visit this week from
Mr.. A. X. Guerard, Of South Carolina,
who, for some months past, has been
making a meteorological reconnaissance
of the Eastern portion OF West Virgin
ia under the auspices Of the State Board
of Centennial managers.
Mr. Guerard has been in Europe for
eight or ten years past perfecting him
self in his profession, which is that OF
a mining engineer. He is graduate
of the University Of st. Andrews at
Edinburg and also OF the Royal School
of Mines, at London, having, besides,
spent some time in the mining districts
of Bohemia, OF the Hartz mountains
and of other parts of the continent, in
teresting to gentlemen ofhis profession,
so that he is well qualified to report
upon the mineral and other uhwrought
resources of our region.
He has explored our neigbborhOod
and finds it rich in natural resources
which are well worth the attention OF
en,erprising capitalists. He expressed
surprise at the varieties of marbles i'll
and around our town, ranging from
white to black with several intermediate
colors, also at the superabundance OF
hydraulic cement rock and OF the mag
nesian and other lifIestones and was
pleased with the quality 81 our plastic
pottery clays, Of our hematite iron ores,
ochres, building stones, timber, DC,
&c, all of which will one day be sources
of wealth to our people when properly
developed and utilized as they are sure
to be when they shall be made known
TO the general public.

R1 a writer at Sharpsburg, Md, to
the BooIsboro' odd ftihw, speaks OF
the Temperance Address delivered by
Hon. J. Ii. Grove, of this county, TO
the Order of Rechabites, in Sharps-
burg, OH the 22nd Of February last, as
follows -
AT half-past 10 o'clock the Temper
ance order OF ltechabites paraded our
streets, and then proceeded to the Re
formed church TO hear an address by
James II. Grove, Esq, formerly OF this
town. The address was one OF the best
ever made here. The speaker COM
menced in old England and traced it 10
America thoroughly roofing it upside
down, proving the fact that the proper
name Tor alcohol is devil, and also
proving that it is unlawful to grant Ii
cense to sell an article which dethrones
reason and causes murder aud a whole
train of evils, and then defend the man
who does it, and makes, as he calls it,
an honorable business. The address
was one hour and a-half in length, aud
was listened to with marked attention.

RENEWABLE PREMoNITIoN.-We
we're informed last week that Mr.. John
Cunningham Of Frederick county, Va,
son of JAS. l.. Cunningham, Esq, Of
this county, has daughter attending
one of the schools in Woodstock, aud
Mr.. c. intended making her visit on
the Saturday previous TO the frightful
accident which occurred on the alley
Branch. b. & o. railroad, last Monday
night week, but was warned by a
dream that the bridge at the Narrow
Passage would give way and precIPl;,
tate the train upon which he would
take passage or his return. This dream
repeated thrice during Friday night,
naturally had strongly depressing
effect on Mr.. c., sufficiently So to deter
him from making the contemplated
visit Had Mr.. &. gone he probably
would have taken the fated train in
returning. The premonition was GER

TIE FAILURE OF DANIEL DREW
Daniel Drew, the former well.known
operator in Wall street, New York,
went into voluntary bankruptcy on
Saturday. His liabilities are estimated
at Sl,l00,000, of which about three
fourths are secured. The amount OF
the assets to meet the unsecured-- llablIi-
ties is very uncertain. For many years
Mr.. Drew was recognized as a power
in Wall street, his operations being
conducted with great bOldness and
with signal success. He was engaged
in Erie, and is said to have made large
sums by his manipulations of this fam
Gus stock About three years ago be
was caught in corner on Northwestern
railroad stock and subsequently in the
Harlem corner" Since that time he
has retired from Wall street. and was
considered wealthy, though his ultimate
disaster may be attributed TO the losses
he sustained at that time, as well as to
the subsequent depreciation in the
value of property in which he was in
terested. Orphans, and widows, who
had money de posted in his hands will
lose heavily.

Esy CENTENNIAL TREEs.-We see it
suggested in some of the papers that
everybody in the country who can,
should, this spring, plant one or more
shade trees to signalize the advent of
this centennial year" The idea is an
excellent one and we hope that it will te
carried into effect; for. besides the beau
~ and utility of the memorial trees
themselves, they will possess an historic
interes: around which will cluster MANY
pleasant associations. The truth is, our
people, as general thing, do not APP
preciate trees as they deserve to be, and
the reckless waste of timber in some
parts of the country is, simply shame
full. 1t would be blessed thing if
every farmer in the land should resolve
from this time forth, to profit by the
advice Of the Laird ODumbydyke to
his son-"Bc Away .siickin in tree,

ATINELY CAUTION.

The Democratic Convention to nom
inate State officers will meet in Charles
ton on the 9th of June, and those who
take an interest in politics are casting
about for suitable candidates. We do
not follow the trade of alternating,
but venture timely suggestion.
Hereafter the question will be,-not
whether the candidate was Wing or
Democrat, but, sis he honest: is he one
of those who want to white-wash and
cover up official depravity
In the next canvass the personal his.
tory of every nominee will be ransacked
and scrutinized and if he has committed
any acts in the past which show that
he is unworthy of office, he will be de-
fea,ed at the polls, We don't care what
convention makes the nomination. 1t
we nominate a man who came from a
sister State, somebody will write to the
place he came from and learn all about
him, and if he slipped off with money
that did not belong to him, the story
is certain to come out during the can
vass, and we caution our slate-makers
to look out Tor breakers. I'er6um sal.
The people Of West Virginia desire to
elevate the standard of official morality
and they do not intend to give office to
men who suddenly become virtuous
UPON the eve of AZ election We have
enough good men to work the ship,
and they will be brought TO the front
as soon AS it is understood that the
people will put no man in office ''whose
past life does not stand sponsor for his
future conduct"

re- CADET TO WEST PoINT-lt will
be seen from the report OF the Examln-
ing Board, copied from the Martlnsburg
Mdependtnf, that Edward 5. Avis, son
of Capt. Jno. Avis, of Charlestown, IS
the successful applicant. He is repre-
scented as young man of fine ability,
and is at present student OF Charles
town Academy, under Capt w. III. ka-
BILE. We learn that the examination
was confined TO the Primary English
branches aud showed the Importance OF
young men being made thoroughly ac-
quainted with these branches before
taking up other studies. Many OF the
applicants were much further advanced
than Mr.. Avis, but could not compete
with him in the Primary branches.
