Correspondence of the Register.
We are glad TO know that Morgan
town has such good prospects for rail
road, and # she succeeds we think 1t will
no. be long before 1t Is extended to tins
place. and break down the oppression
that is now hesped upon US by the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad and save our
merchants the trouble OF shipping their
goods from Baltimore via. Wheeling &c
save freight. We bid our friends IN
MoLongshs God speed.
CHURCH DEDICATED.
The Bethesda Baptist Church, in Bar
racKsviIle. was dedicated yesterday.
Rev. z. IL. Murray, of Taylor county,
preached the dedication sermon from
John iv, - in mis- usual eloquent man
ner. The music WAS furnished by the
Paw-Paw choir. A subscription was
taken up and enough was collected to
nav of the entire Indebtedness OF the
church. The church is y modest looking
frame building, but is too small, We
think, to hold the average congregation,
and was unable to scat more than hslt OF
the people present at the dedication.
THE DAVIS GUARDS.
This company is now fully uniformed
ami present quite a creditsble appear
ance. The uniform will compare very
tavorably with thst OF the Mathews
Light Guards of yourcity, and did not
cost, cap and all, more than $1,000 per
suit. The cloth was made by the Browns
Vile Manufacturing Company, and the
suits were GU, in Wheeling, and it is
very strange that out of the thirty odd
suits cut in Wheeling only one comes
ANYTHING like fitting, The boys have been
spe king about going to Wheeling and
pIruclpating in the Thanksgiving sham
battle, but IL is generally supposed now
tina. they will stay NJ home and celebrate
tae day properly here.
The Leader OF Sunday last made men,
ton that Capt. Ed. W Moore, OF this
place WAS in fair way OF securing u
foreign appointment, but do not know
that it is true, or simply one OF the neioS
items of the Leader. We were not
aware that Captain Moore has had his
hands in COTS pockets, bat can say
that there is no Republican IN the State
who deserves M appointment more, and
who could I'll any appointment that
nigh: be given him with more satistac-
ton to his friends and credit 10 his party
than Captain Moore, and we hope that
the item referred to may be true.
Our entire community was panied TO
hear OF the death of
JUDGE HOFFMAN.
He was well and fayOrably known in
tnIs county, and we feel assured that ore
of our ablest legal minds las past away.
ESCAPED FROM JAZZ.
This evening, little after dark, our
town was startled by the news that John
Maxwell, who was by the last Circuit
Court sentenced 20 one years contne.
ment in the county jail, tor breaking into
a store IN this place last August, had
@ capped. 1t Is stall mystery as to how
no effected his escape, and the citizens
here are so glad he is gone that none but
the tailor is in pursuit. 1t Is hoped that
ne, II he is not captured, will, in the lu-
are. give the town u wide berth, and
that would be preferable TO keeping him
year at the expense OF the county, and
after the expiration of that time, be
compelled to endure the pleasure of his
society. at this writing he is still at
large, and Joy go with him.
