West Virginia will DO held AT clarksburg, W. Va,
on THURSDAY, MAY II, 1876, for the purpose oil
appointing ten delegates to the Union Republican
National Convention which Is to assemble at Gin

Tho committee Is Of opinion that 1t will 10 i'm
practicable to avoid holding two Conventions, and
that the purposes Of this Convention are not Of
sufisent Importance TO Justify calling for large
county delegations and therefore suggests that each
county will send Ave delegates-these delegates to
be appointed by the County Executive Committee,
or BY County Convention, rs such committee may
deem axpedlent. II Is proposed to call another
Convention during the summer, at which the COM

BUSINESS MATTEas.-Ths steubenville
Herald Of Saturday learns that the Iron
and Bolt works near that place will re-
sumo operations on April 20,
Coke manufacturers in the counells-
vile region are making efforts to form a
manufacturer union, and make prices
uniform. 1t is stated that about eighteen
hundred ovens are already in the move

put down, the combination will begin op-

A practical iron man of Pittsburgh, has
figured that 0 per cent Of the iron is lost
in converting pig into. the shapes Of mer-
charitable iron. In other words, nearly
100 tons of iron go to in Pittsburgh
every day. This iron costs on the average
thirty dollars ton, making the loss from
this waste about SS,OOOa day. The mills
Of Graf, Bennett & Co., and spang, Chal'
FAINT & Co., estimate their waste Of iron &c
be only per cent. The economy from
the use Of gas, therefore, amounts to about
one dollar and half per ton, or for the
total product Of our city over $1,000 pei

GRANGER News. - The Weston Dem.
coral learns that potato bugs, in the larv%
state, are being turned up by the spring
blowing,
The Grafton Sentinel says that Joseph
Bailey of Taylor county, was indicted at
a recent term OF court for malicious
treatment of two horses owned by Mr..
Reuben Davinson. 1t seems that the
animals Ind been tresspassing upon Mr..
Baileys "preseryes" and he imprisoned
them in his stable and tied several clap.
boards to their tails and turned them
loose on the commons, which caused the
horses to run around the country, prey
to extreme terror. The trial came up ut
the present term OF the County Court, and
Mr.. Bailey was adjudged by the jury as
guilty ola misdemeanor, and he was fined
$40 and costs.

FINANCIAL MATrERs.-The stockhold-
ers OF the National Exchange Bank at
Weston meet on the 11th Of May to elect
directors. Rather an odd time Of year.
Parkersburg wants the Gas Company
to come down to $40 per lamp to the city.
The charge heretofore has been $50 per
lamp and So for lighting, and, 1t seems,
the stock only pays per cent dividends.
The President and directors gettheir gas
free.
The London Times money editor, after
Analysing the recent yearly reports Of the
Pennsylvania aud the Baltimore & Ohio
Roads, says Of the former that it is, all
things considered, very satisfactory. In
spite Of the decreased traffic, and OF the
losses resulting from the railroad "war"
of last year, the net earnings show sur
plus after all charges are met; and Of the
Baltimore & Ohio, that the accounts Of
the road "seem to show that in the reck-
less struggle over the through traffic rates
carried on last year it suffered more than
the Pennsylvania did, It's main line rev.
enue has, however, kept up we'll, and the

The par Of the pound sterling, estub.
lished by act Of Congress, is 81 s6.G5.
The exact equivalent depends on the con-
ditions Of intercourse between the two
countries. The old nominal par OF 81 a.
40 was adopted when the dollar was sup.
posed to be worth four shillings and six.
pence. When il fell below this, instead
Of changing the reckOned par, rate Of
percentage on this nominal sum was adop-
ted. The Journal Of Commerce, in illus.
tration Of the point, says the system is
precisely the same as il at one time
pound Of Tea had been considered as the
equivalent OF 60 cents. When it became
worth three cents more, instead of chang
ing the price to 6S it was reckoned at "iive
per cent" (that is, five per cent added to
COY, then at ten per cent, until, finally,
the only quotation for tea was percent
age, as 8 per cent, or 1903 per cent (mean-
ing 60 and three per cent added !; and lift
fell below 60, the quotation would be 8
per cent of'from par, or e5 per cent, and
thus through all possible changes. The
present daily quotation Of sterling snbsti.
tutes the only ensiblereckoning for the
old conventional absurdity.

Practical and Impractical Men

The explanation offered by General

however, that 1t is the eminently "prac.
teal" men who usually figure in such
transactions. Mr.. Sumner was regarded
rs very impractical; but during twenty
three years official service, in the midst
OF every kind Of opportunity and temp

successor at the head Of the Senate Com

considered TO be q very "practicah man.
Whether lis knowledge Of the world, or

whether Mr.. Motley's impractical turn

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS IN CONGRESS,

The fact of congressman and Senators
giving increased attention to questions d-
rectly affecting the interests of farmers is
due, in a great measure, to the influence of
the Patrons of Husbandry. 1t is the organ
ization of farmers which makes politicians
to respect their wishes. Some of the Senat-
orial ways of attending to farmers interests
are awkward enough but even then the poll
ticians probably mean well, but err through
natural and hibitual stupidity. Thus the
v. $. Senate has passed an utterly imprac-
ticable bill, authorizing the appointment of
one commissioner to investigate insects in
furious to farm crops, pay his own expenses
and receive a salary of four thousand dollars
per year. What the Senate expects from
one man, devoting his time to so large a sub
Ject, it would be difficult to guess. His in
vestigations would require much more la
borlous research than all the questions over
which learned Senators puzzle themselves,
and make long speeches to be distributed
through the mails to their constituents. 1t
is really funny; but Senator Logan, who
opposed the bill, we presume, because he
thoughtit too extravagant remarked to some
other Senators who favored it and ARE sup
posed to want the Presidency, "You are
all In favor of farmers now.n
we presume this idea is a true one, and

In ALL great enterprises or great reforms,
there are, and must be, a few men who stand
prominently forward, who take the brunt
of the labor. and who sacrifice themselves to
the cause. They are not paid in money;
they are often abused for their pains. But
the world owes them a debt of gratitude it
can never repay. BY and by it wakes TIP to
understand and appreciate their labors.
They are martyrs in life and they become
saints after death. just so in every success
full institution, a few men must carry the
burden, must do the labor, and the many
have the benefit of ther ilabors. This is
true in all of our churches, our temperance
societies and our fairs. 1t is equally true in
our oranges; and happy is that grange
which has one man or woman preemlnens
for ability to labor, ready to help others,
wise to plan, prompt to execute, and having
withal, that sweetness of heart and that
brotherly affection for their fellows which
incites them to do all lovingly, so as to draw
others on and unite the whole grange in the
active duties of the hour. The reward OF
such labors comes not now, but the good
done is unreasonable and the heart is con-
tent in the happy consciousness of the gain
which others have eceived.-Patroa's Helper.

GRANGE BUSINESS.

The following letter from the Master of
the Nation Grange to the editor of the ar
kansas State Grange, gives some figures in
regard to what the organization OF p. of III.
is doing for the farmers Of America, which
will make the few who flatter themselves
that it is dying out, open their eyes:
l have just received yours of the 18th inst,
and with it the first number Of the arkansas
State Grange. | rejoice in the revival of our
paper, IN its handsome features and solid
matter, as I nave been panied at it's suspen-
sion, and the impression which have found
everywhere, out of our State and in it, that
its suspension was caused by want of patron
age. This impression has been damaging to
the Order in our State, and the injury
reelected, to some extent, outside. Is it not
your duty, as editor of the paper which
is intended to take the place of the Weekly
Grange, to explain the circumstances which
led to and attended the sale and suspension
of that paper, the number and character
and terms of applications made to the State
Grange and to the Executive Committee
to publish an agricultural paper, showing
very conclusively that the Grange is a popu-
lar II not a paying institution in Arkan-
sas, as well as il the other States OF this
Union?
/ send you herewith the proceedings of
the convention of the Executive Commit
tees of the State Oranges of the Mississippi
Valley, which met at ST. Louis on the I'D
