THE editor of the Morgantown NeW
Dominion has been angry at us, ever
since we refused to lend him two dol
lars, in Topeka, Kansas, during the
editorial excursion of 1875, the said
two dollars to be used in purchasing
whisky on which to get drunk. In
consequence of this, he attacks us
savagly, every few months. Howev-
er, as we did not lose the two dollars,
we forgive him.-Ritchie Gazette.
There is not one word of truth in
the above. Everybody that knows
the editor of the New DOMINION knows
that he is strictly temperate and in
opulent circumstances, hence the alb
surdity of such a statement. The
truth of the matter is, the editor of
the Gazette has become demented to
such a degree that we advise his
friends to send him to Weston if he
don't soon get better. He is subject
to dreaming and imagincs many non
sensical things that appear to him in
his Communication to be true.
For proof of this fact we call upon
Bro. Zevely, of the Richie Democrat.
We amt mad at the Gazette man
and never were. We always counted
him pretty good fellow, but it's a
pity about him drinking so.

The second session of the Teachers

ing on the Goth day of December. All
teachers are cordially invited to at

ers from Grant District will honor us
with their presence we will treat them
with due courtesy and respect.
The Vaudeville, Stumptown, Mount

ported in fonrishing condition and
with larger per cent. of attendance
than has heretofore been known for
the first month. The Jimtown school
proposes having course of lectures
during the term. The first was de-
livered on Wednesday evening, 28th
ult., by Mr.. Martin, graduate of q
New York college. This was one Of
the finest lectures on education have
ever listened to, and, as one Of the
scholars remarked on the way home,
'sHe had but one fault with It and
that was it was not long enough" We
hope that the patrons Of tho school
in the future will turn and encourage
the school by their presence. Mr.
Martin has consented to give another
lecture this winter, and all who wish
grand intellectual treat are invited
to attend. Other good speakers arr
expected to deliver lectures during
the term.

Thanksgiving services were con-
Quoted in an appropriate manner at
the Baptist Church in Morgantown
on Thursday by Rev. J. c. Jordan of
the Baptist Church Rev. S. Steele of
the Methodist Episcopal Church and
DIR. Jimeson of the Presbyterian
Church. The sermon was delivered
by DIR. Jimeson. The text was the
3lst verse of the 10th Psalm "Oh
that men would praise the Lord for
his goodness and for his wonderful
works to the children of men," The
speaker first spoke of the duty of
praise. All things in Gods Universe
praise him and why not man? First,
we should praise God on account of
his goodness. The goodness of God
is eternal because God is eternal.
The goodness of God is universal.
1t is in all his works and in the en-
joyments of all his creatures. Evil
is in the world but it is the result of
disobediance There are especial rea-
sons, at the present time, why we
should praises good health aud wealth
and comfort and the prosperity of our
people and the stability of our gov
eminent Second, we should praise
God on account of his wonderful
works to the children of men. All
the works of God are wonderful and
all productive of good. The rich
earth, the hcalthful air, the sunshine,
the rain, harvests, fruits and flowers,
sights of beauty and harmony ofsound
all tell of the goodness of God. But
especially in the wonderful works OF
God and His goodness. The subject
of praise on account of the great
scheme of salvation.
The sermon was interesting and in
structive and was listened to with
profound attention. We are sorry
we cannot give more extended syn
opsis of this most excellent Thanks
giving sermon, but our space will not
admit it. DR.. Jimeson is one of the
ablest divines in the Presbyterian
church, and is admired and appreciat-
ed especially by persons of culture
and learning.

ANOTHER FiRE IN FArRmoxr-Foa

ANOTHER FIRE IN FArRMoNr--FoR-
ruxArELr Only SLIGHT DESTRUCTION
OF PRorERTr.-On last Monday night,
about half past ten o'clooclk our citi-
liens were again startled and awaken
ed by the alarm of fire. 1t was soon
ascertained that the trouble was in
the vicinity of the railroad depot,
and it was but short time until
the able-bodicd portion Of our popu-
lation was on the ground ready to bat
tie against the flames. MIR. Harrison
Gould was the victim on this occa-
sion, the fire having broken out in his
grocery, small building standing on
the suspensian bridge, opposite the toll
office. The roof of his house, when
first discovered, was covered by the
flames, and it was thought that it
would be impossible to save it. Those
who first reached it broke open the
door and found the goods wholly un-
injured, the fire being all confined to
the roof. Nearly everything was car
ried safely out, and by this time wa
ter was being applied in such great
quantities that it was soon seen that
most of the building could be saved.
Men and boys never worked harder
any place and at any time than ours
did here. But then this is and always
has been the case in Fairmont under
such circumstances. Luckily the fire
was stopped, no further damage be>
ing done the building than the burn
of the roof and ceiling,an it is thought
that the repairs can be made for from
500 to $75. The lost or destroyed gro
ceries are estimated to have been
worth between $50 and $40.
1t is generally believed that if the
fire had been discovered ten or fifteen
minutes later that the result would
have been the total destruction of all
the property in that immediate neigh
borhood-the residence of Mr.. j. X.
jackson, his large ware house, the sus-
pension bridge, Swisher Il Co.'S ex-
tensive saw and Touring mills, and
probably the depot buildings. Had it
ever reached the ware house, which
stands nearest the grocery, everything
named above would undoubtedly have
been consumed.
We will add that the cause of the
fire is said to have been a defective
flue, the same old story Wcst Tr-
ginion.
