A GAY DEcElvEn-We have al
ways held the Gallipolis Bulletin in
respectful consideration, for its poll
tics and truthfulness, nor should our
faith he shaken as to the paper itself,
or the worthy old gentleman who
now presides over it, had it not been
for AN unjust pcrycrsion of truth that
appeared in its issue Of the 10th
inst, in reference to the removal of
the Dry Docks from this place to
Gallipolis. The words sold worn out
dry docks" appeared originally in
the Bulictia of February 9th, and its
publication causing some feeling,
the editor in his next issue tries to
gctout Of the difficulty, by saying
that be used only the "language of
cur Point Pleasant friends, y and the
"phrascology employed by the Point
Pleasant correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl GzHe." If We We're disposed to
BE severe we might say that the
editor lied, but we won't, and will
use mildcr language, by saying that
he walked a long distance around
the truth IN cxtricate himself out Of
u difficulty. The words, cold worn
out dry docks" occur nowhere in the
Point Pleasant correspondence of the
Cincinnati GG7aHc, referred to, nor do
we believe there is any citizen in our
midst, who would indulge in the use
of language calculated to injurc the
sale of these Docks, or throw any OBJ
staclo in the way Of the Mcssrs, Mill
cr disposing Of their property to the
best advantage. We regrctno doubt,
The removal of these Docks, but they
are too small for much Of the trade
that would come to this point, In
their stead, we will have in u short
time, a full rugged set Of machinery
well adapted for The building and re.
pairing Of boats of all sizes. And,
now, that you have bought the Dry
Docks, where will you locate them?

A WEDDING on THE J. c. CRossLEY
Last Sunday evening was an event
full one in the history of the Ironton,
and Pomeroy packet, J. c.
Crossley. We had noticed Capt. Geo
Bay wreathed in smiles, promcnad-
ing the streets during the day, with
his good lady and daughter, and were
puzzled as to whether he was so happy
over the departure Of the Fashion for
regions above, or that some rich rel
alive had died in Ireland, leaving
him n castle and a million or so an
nuity for spending money. 1t look
ed suspicious all around When the
Scioto came up he whispered some
thing in Billy's ear, and he, too,
smiled all over, and then they both
smiled and looked knowingly at each
other. On the return Of the Scioto
she backed down alongside the Cross
ley where quite 4 crowd soon gather
ed on suspicion, and ere long our
friend Alex 7. Suiter of Bradicsvillc,
and Mrs. Lavina Bealc, charming
Young widow of MERGERS Bottom,
West Va, were united in wedlock.
Then all smiled and were exceeding
~ happy-nonc more so, we are sure,
than the bride and groom Alex
will probably abandon the river now
to engage in farming, his wife being
blessed with q beautiful plantation a
short distance below Gallipolis on the
Virginia side of the river. We wish
the happy couple a long and blissful
and good crops of pota-
toes, corn, &c,-Irontoa Democrat
ftj tn.
We are of those who believe in
building up our own town, omattcr
what others outside may think of it,
or how much they may lose by it.
Therefore we insist upon patronizing
home institutions, to the exclusion
of all others. There is no sense in
to Gallipolis ovcrytime you
want yard of calico, or pound of
coffee, particularly when you can get
the same goods as cheap othome.
Three gentlemen in this place, in
the event our present docks are Ia
ken to Gallipolis, contemplate build
ing five sections CT docks, Of large
size, and place them in Kanawha.-
If these docks, however, are not talk
en- away, these gentlemen will not
build them, as they have no DISPOSE
ton to oppose Mcssrs. Miller & Son
in their business.
Tippctt thinks we haven't sulli-
cicnt water here to work the Point
Pleasant dry docks. He forgcts that
we have the combined waters of the
two rivers that flows by his door,.
GalHpo'is .hTp0I.
We have heard of people in an
ocean who couldn'tgc a drink. Gal
lipolis probably has all the water
that would be used by the dry part,
but we still maintain there is not
water enough for docking purposes.
The teachers, and especially those
Of our county, as well as all friends
Of education, will not neglect their
duty of attendance upon the cXcrcis-
ps of the County Teachers Associa-
ton, which will commence at Mason
City, in this county, March 3rd and
4th, 1876. We trust that all will 60
to add to the interest of the
occasion, by tcrso and wcll-timcd
contribution. The advantages to be
derived from these associations are
and useful; and the teacher
should be prompt and diligent in his
upon them.

well patroni2cd by our citizens. We
have not space or time to extend our
remarks, this week, but will reserve
them until our noxt issue. This we
viii add, however, that the Concert
cannot be surpassed.
After the Concert was over, a large
portion of the audience repaired to

gagged in until the Eve sma' hours"
A nice supper was spread in the room
under the Hall which was literally
patronized. Enioyably and fnan-

were successes.
We are informed that the proceeds
of the night, after the payment of

well lighted, and the floor smoothe,-

gentlemen friends, inviting them to
allow "the pleasure of their compa-

the gentlemen not doubt were not
ayerse to being relieved. At seven
o'clock the dancing began, and con
tinued until eleven, when the gentle
men were invited to an excellent
feast prepared by their female escorts,
After supper they resumed the party
by tripping the light fantastic toe to
chase the glowing hous with flying

deserve the greatest praise for their

Our Water supply.

The question of the water supply for the
metropolis is one of the gravest importance,
and it is beginning to attract the attention
of the public, as we'll as the consideration of
the Department of Public Works. We pub
lished yesterday the report of Mr.. Thomas
A. Emmett to the Chief Engineer, of the sur
veys and estimates for a new Croton aque-
duct Two routes are proposed in this
report the estimated cost of each being in
Nothing is more necessary to this city than
work of this kind, and Mr.. Emmet's esti-
mates afford an intelligent basis for consd-
ering not only the cost but the necessity of
the aqueduct. But full supply of water in
the reservoirs is not all that is needed. 1t is
even more necessary that the means of
water distribution in the metropolis, and
especially in the lower part of the city,
should be increased than that the supply itself
should be augmented 1t is plain that with
our present system of mains and pipes the
means of supplying every part of the city
with water are inadequate to the demand.
Especially is this true in some such emer-
gency as great nre or an increased demand
for manufacturing purposes. Even now
there is great scarcity in all that part of the
city known as down town. This necessity
must be met by new mains and, indeed, by
new system The first step toward the
realization of such a system is a survey and
report similar to that of Mr.. Emmett on the
proposed aqueducts Our people ought to
know just what is needed and what this
necessary work will cost. We trust the De-
partment of Public Works will at once set
about preparing this report from actual sur
afforded it will be comparatively easy to
secure the accomplishment of work the
necessity of which is recognized by all our
citizens.

Lee and Hampton are descendants Of two
gallant and noble spirits who fourished in
the Revolution. There are no prouder
names in the South True, they were rebels
during the war, but as we are to celebrate
the greatest rebellion in history this very
year we need not worry over that fact.
Or how would it do to run Seymour on the
democratic side, Roscoe Conkling on the re-
publican, and Fred Conkling, the warrior
statesman, between, as a liberal? They are
connected in close family ties. Or how
would Washburne ticket do, with E. b.
from Illinois as President and some one OF
the seven or eight brothers as Vice Presi-
dent?
The advantage of canvass like this would
be the absence of acerbity. 1t would be a
harmonious struggle. Charles Francis would
not abuse his son and Johnny Q. would pro-
tect his father The Conklings would pull
together like friends and brothers-in-law and
the Washburnes would do the same. Give
us something new in the centennial year.
We are tired of the old paths.

an admirable one, and not u day ought 70 De
lost in taking it vigorously up. But it would
be presumptuous of our students and quite
out of their province to send the chal-
lenge in that case. That should come,
not from any institution or cluster
of institutions, but from the nation.
AS the rifemen of America have ex-
tended hearty greeting to the chosen
shots of Ireland, SO the amateur oarsmen
Of the nation should see to it that the best
rowers In Ireland have ON equally hearty
welcome, and start beside them on the
Schuylkill. And SO they have already done;
for the invitation of the Centennial Com
mittee, forwarded through the British Com
mission, and just now arriving out, is
meant to include the very flower of the oars
men of the United Kingdom. If it cramps
them by limiting them to members of indi-
vidual clubs instead of a national team it
yet cannot have been meant to do so, or,
if it does, it ought to be amended at once.
The Irish way of treating our rifemen is al
together too green in our minds to permit
our recent generous hosts to have any con-.
Germ about the sort of time they will have in
our country, and the whole plan is to in
vite, not simply the best men of some corner
of any land, but, as all other productions,
those of the whole land.
