at the corner Of Fleet and Factory streets
Here, in 1873, Messrs. Harvey & George
converted the cotton factory buildings
into mill for the manufacture Of ma
nilla or sack paper. The mill proved q
success. On the morning Of May II,
1874, however, one Of the steam b6iiers
exploded, scattering the fire beneath
throughout the mill, causing its entire de-
struction. The ruins were soon after
cleared away and preparations made for
rebuilding, and the same fall the works
were and are now in full operation.
Down Water street 10 Prospect, we come
to the straw paper mill Of W. H. Harvey.
1t turns out the best quality OF straw
wrapping, as long as straw can be OBJ
tanned or market found for the paper.
Between Prospect and Queen, on Water
street, the Acme Moving Machine Works
steadily turns out the celebrated "Acme
Mower and Reaper" also corn shelters,
plows, stoves, hollow ware, &c. Contin-
uing our course down Water street the
splendid new residence OF II. G. Lazear
attracts our attention, finished last
spring. @. Speidel, on the corner Of
Urana, is the next improvements new
house out Of an old one, rebuilt last sum-
mer. In the rear OF Speidel on Urana, /.
w. Clemens has erected livery stable
that will compare fayorably with those Of
large cities. On the same lot he has also
erected fine frame dwelling, both built
within the past two years. Now we come
to the much talked OF Hudson House,
corner Of Water and Liberty streets,
which is truly big thing for our ancient
Burg. One can hardly believe that he is
in Wellsburg when inside this elegant
structure. II is more than we expected
to see. The appointments Of the house as
we'll as the apartments are firstclass in
every respect. On tho ground floor Coop
err & McClelland have at heavy expense
fitted up room for drug store equal 70

Lloyd, furniture and undertaking, and

On the corner Of Liberty and Charles,
Barclay g. Jacob have been and are still
making Improvements in the room beneath
the Herald Office, where they intend to car
ry on an extensive business in groceries,
provisions, hardware, ard the manufac-
ture Of paper sacks. Up Charles, DR.. E.

We had the pleasure with many others
Of listening to an address delivered by
one Of your townsmen, Mr.. ]. Kemple,
on the evening Of the ODD, at Pine Hill
school house, on "The Character Of
George Washington" Mr.. Kemple is
"native and to the manner born" and
passed his childhood and youth in this
vicinity, which caused IN unusual inter-
est in his behalf. He was welcomed with
fine audience, the house being COM
pletely filed. The eulogistic terms Of
approval were very pronounced respect
ing the fine efforts made by him. Mr.. X.
was very bitter and scathing in his re-
Dukes OF both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, and said that unless there
be return to ptre government our ma
ton must perish, and again repeat the
sad tale OF history in the downfall OF
nations; that we must not forget tho CEN
trail figure Of purity, that great and good
man George Washington; that the guard
ians OF our interests must be above sus-
picion, and the axe must fall upon cor
ruptlon.
There were many sterling points in
Mr.. Kcmple's address that We would like
to present. Suffice to say, We know II
will prove beneficial. The gentleman's
Language was chaste and elegant, evil
dencing what We most admire, the
charming pencilings Of original thought.
After the address Mr.. h, with others,
manifested desire to have short de.
bate, as it was yet quite early. He pro.
posed tho Retention Of the Bible in the
Public Schools" rs n subject, and the
discussion was participated in by Messrs.
]. KempIe, W. s. Buchanan, Rev. Elias
Mayors and Perciyal V. johnson.
Altogether good time was had, and
we hope for recurrence of the same at
no distant day and return of Mr.. KEN

l find myself very unexpectedly in this
mud bound village and will he obliged to
remain here a day or more. When ! lett
home it was my intention to visit the
head waters Of the Elk river, which at-
ter duly considering the modes Of trans.
portation by push-boats, canoes, &C., |
must confess. had no charms for me. |
was agfeeably surprised, however, on my
arrival at Charleston to find the object Of
my search, steamboat, called the "Elk

a company now engaged in the manufac.
ture OF iron on Elk river, Preston county.

A THING OF LIFE.
Capt. Savage informed me that his rea-
son for giving the boat this name was the
surprise manifested by the natives along
the river, numbers OF whom ascended the
tree.tops as she passed along, thinking
her to be a thing Of life. Indeed this
boat was such piece Of curiosity that q

woods actually travelled distance Of 4O
miles on foot TO see her. This is not to be
wondered at, since l am informed that the
horse wagon until the last fifteen years
was u novelty in this region, and that
some Of the natives walked 25 miles to

field for missionary labor.
AROUND CHARLESTON.
My stay in Charleston was too briei
and the weather too uncomfortable fol
much sight seeing. The Hale is still
open for guests. The porter for this hotel
informed me it was conducted on the
Ethiopian plan; he evidently meant Eu'
ropean. The people Of Charleston are
wide awake on the whisky question
The County Court yesterday, by vote Of
n to 2, refused license. This action was
induced by. recent tragioal events in this
valley, whisky being at the bottom Of 1t

Cong residual Matters Over the
River.


According to the Steubenville Ga:ette
and Cambridge Je6ersoaian, both Demo.
cratic papers, there are symptoms OF
active competition for the Republican
Congressional nomination in the district
over the river now represented by Cap
tain Danford. 1t is intimated that the
Captain is under pledge to step down
and out at the end OF his present term,
and let some OF the rest have chance.
lie has had two terms, and, according to
the papers named, DR.. Updegratf, OF
Jefferson, State Senator Knox, Of Hur-
rison, DR.. Mcpherson, of Guernsey, and
Private Dalzell, Of Noble, are all anx-
ious to succeed him. 1t is also said that
Wallace, Myers and Dunbar, OF stcuben-
vile will be candidates.
II all this talk is true, tho situation is
not unpromising for Mr.. Danford's NOM
inntion. With so many aspirants in the
field lie should have no dlhculty insecur-
ing another term, unless indeed he il pre-.
cludcd by pledges not to be candidate.
The talk however about pledges Is old
over in that district. II used to be heard
every time Bingham was up for re.nomi-
nation. And yet he, managed to keep on
going to'Congrcss term after term. Per-
bnps all such pledges are regarded in a
Pickwickina sense over there, and, as the
poet says about lovers promises, simply
made to be broken.
The counties composing the district are
Belmont, Jefferson, Harrison, Guernsey,
and Noble. Whoever gets the Republic.
an nomination is morally certain to be
elected.
