The fifth annual session Of the
West Virginia State Grange, which
had been in session for several days,
adjourned on the 18th inst. The adj
dress of welcome was delivered by
Mr.. Charles NJ. DAVIDSON, of Fairmont,
and was a very eloquent and sensi.
Bile address. 1t was responded to by
the master Mr.. Kitchen and Mr. 7.
NJ. Stone, of Wetzel county.
The reports of the various officers
were interesting to an Unusual de-
gree. The Secretary, Mr.. James E.
Hall, Of Barbour county, made a re-
port of the condition of the order,
which, while it did not show such a
rapid increase as was expected, drew
an encouraging picture Of the order
and its future prospects.
Hon. C. 7. Butler, State Lecturer,
made a very interesting report, full
of hope and expressing in strong
terms the opinion of the order in re.
lation to railroads.
Col. R. w. Baylor, chairman Of the
Executive Committee, made prOba-
bly, the most important report Of any.
While he admitted that the order is
not any stronger in point of mum
bers, he claimed that the members
are much more active, and that the
order has accomplished more within
the last year in a business way, than
ever before. The reportrcconmends
a different manner of representation
in the State Grange. 1t also pre-.
sented very encouraging report Of
the agency established in Baltimore,
claiming that this agency saved to
its patrons from $4,000 to 100000
in the first seven months of this
year in their purchases. The report
also discussed the question of railroad
monopoly in an able and forcible
manner.

Pleasant valley Items.

From your many correspondents
it looks as if our community has
been very much neglected. Broad
Run is tributary Of the great Ohio
river, and its mouth is about q hall
mile above the town of New Haven,
and winds round and heads upin the
Upper Flats, near by where your
famous contributor, b. Janton, re-
sides; and in all his flow of language
and strokes of his pen, he has never
given us the slightest history of this
once famous water course that flows
through this section of the county,
The valley through which this noted
stream flows, is very fertile; it pro,
duces the very finest of wheat and
corn and -othor eoroolc.
The inhabitants of this valley are
mostly of the German descent, and
are very hospitable to all new com
ers that settle among them. The
older settlers of this valley that have
past from the shores of time, were
the most sociable people l ever met
with.
Janton surely is not q native Of
this part of the county, or he would
not have left out the items of the
most interest; but he seems to dwell
largely on the revivals that have been
raging in his section for the last few
weeks. They should not have closed
these meetings, for it gave the con,
tributor of the Upper Flats SO much
zeal in behalf of the different
branches of the church, thathe would
have kept us all posted on religious
matters through the columns of the
Register. B. ]. do not be discouraged
the fire has broke out at "Salt Lake, y
in Bachtal Chapel, and the excite.
ment runs very high. On the night
of the 18th inst, the members were
so jealous that some of them went
