To-day we are called upon again
TO paythe last tribute Of respect to
another Of our citizens, Mrs, NJ. H.
Surgeon, who died Friday the 10th
inst, was followed to her long aud
quiet home BY a very large funeral
procession. The funeral sermon. was
preached by the Rev. S. E. Steel, p.
E. of the Charleston District. Broth
er Steel is a good fellow and fine
speaker, but We cannot accept all
the ideas advanced in the sermon.
The husband and family of the de-
ceased have the sympathies of this
community.
A Mrs. Roush of this place also
died and was buried on Friday last.
Both of these ladies died of consump-
ton, a disease that seems to be rap.
idly on the increase in this country.
Mr.. E. c. Harpold is still having
difficulties with his wells, in conse-
quence of which the furnace is still
lying idle.
Miss Susanna Hanna is. off on a
visit to her friends above Charleston,
but is expected home Soon?
Mrs, Rogers has been quite unwell
for some time, but we understand is
improving some.
Capt. NJ, Brown and lady have re-
turned from the Springs, looking
very we'll. Their advice to the af-
flicted is to go and see for themselves.
The New Haven and Hartford fur
naces will probably be compelled to
shut up shop. Noroom to store away
salt, and not water enough to ship.
Lemucl Spawn has traded his
house and lot, to Mr.. James Brown,
for n so acre lot of land, lying with
in four miles of Point Pleasant, not
fur from Col. B. Lemasters.
Miss Millie Norris has been and is
now badly crippled from a swelling
in one of her feet.
Rev. Mr.. Crossfeld who has been
sent to this place, preached his first
sermon on the Goth. No comments,
but we hope the people will be en-
lightoned, edcfed and built up re-
ligiously, during his stay with US.
The steamboat Robin, is lying at
our wharf waiting for the coming
floods from above, and two barges
loaded with Valley City Salt, are also
in waiting and we surmise that Mr..
L. c. Harpold is also anxious, as are
also many others. S.

BILE, made lengthy confession, inn
plicating many of his old compan-
ions. He has also made formal res
titutions Of his ill,gotten wealth,
which was considerable, and has re-
signed his seat in the State Senate

est hue, was always an acknowledg'
ed leader of his party in this State
both in the Senate and out of it. He
was an elector on the Republican
ticket in the last Presidential cleo
tion.-Mdine Standard.

want to say a word or two about
roads in general, and the road lead
ing out from New Haven in particu-
lar. This road has been in most
miserable condition for a long time;
but now through the efforts of the
overscer, William zirclc, is in most
excellent condition, throughout the
greater portion Of It's course. One
thing among many others character
ICES u good road overscor from a poor
one, and that is a disposition to wi
den out the road he is trying to i'm
prove, In place of ploughing on the
sides of the road in tho same old
ditch, he ploughs outside of it, II
the bitches cncroOch upon tho road
space, he makes new ditch outside
of the old one, and if the farmer is
so stingy, or penurious as to give
him no room he digs under his fence
and lets it fall down, whom he is com
PEELED to set it back, He is not
afraid to throw dirt into the middle
of the road, to fill up bitches far
above the level, and to make the road
look like a great public thorough
fare, instead of miserable, narrow
contracted hog path, with dog fen.
mel on each side, and bitches and
mud-holCs in the centre.
One more word, he works to inn
prove the road, in place of merely
putting in his time, and he makes
others work, Ilo docs not allow
those lazy, shifLless good.ior-nothing
fellows, to go scot.freo, without an eff
fort to make them work. II is the
strangcst thing in tho world to mo-
to know how a young man, or.any
other kind of man, enjoying all
the blessings of liberty, good govern
ment, good institutions of every kind,
can hold up his head and look an
honest man in the face, after failing
to perform tho small and iusisnif-
cant duty of working two days in
the year on the public roads. x

was while giving herself this treat

She was standing near the fire with
her back toward it, and while in this
