PHILIPPI, w. VA, Dec. Is, 1877.
Correspondence OF the Register.
Two men were lodged in "Robinson's
Castle" Saturday morning for taking
without license wheat and other necessa-
ries OF life.
A protracted meeting is now being
held in the NJ. 4. Church, South. Large
crowds gather there from time to time.
There are no Republicans in the cOun-
" of Bar bour, or If there are sny, they
are SO ashamed of their party and lead
ers that they remain mute
Invitation tickets have been Issued for
q grand oyster supper and cotllllon par
ty at the FIegrind house on the evening
OF the 18th inst. About two hundred
ladies and gentlemen will be present.
If the Democratic Ssnhedrim of Bar
bour are so distastetul to "Grith," we as
sure HIM, that he will only have to "grin
and bear it," as he stands so loneiy, that
there Is no salvation for the party to
which he belongs. For it has Tor the
last sixteen years robbed the poor, ana mas
in all its keeping proved false to Its VOWS
and its principles, and sunken down deep
in its own rottenness. The expenses OF
this county are paid by men, whose mar
at least is straight, and who have both
person al and realty of which to be proud.
Turn your coat again, my dying lrlehu,
and see if the inner one Is not the better.
The recent disturbance IN the County
Court of Barbour, WAS not commendaole,
but the insinustion on Judge Brannon
is one of more importance than is to be
bourn, having come from the pen OF u
low, vulgar ''scalawag" without "rlends
or money" Judge Brannon to-day could
carry old Barbour for reelection TO the
iudgship, over any Of Barbour's "most
respected members OF the bar
The young legal gent TO whom "Gritb"
refers, passed an examination before
Judges Brannon, Lewis and johnson,
and is superior in every sense OF the word
to the strait backed, coxcombed, woald be
something, that struts our streets like q
chicken with frozen feet.
Charles Selby will entertain those
who msy be present at the Court House
Thursday evening, the 9th inst, by reel
tatioas and reading from select authors.
Twenty five cents Will be charged Tor
admission, and then we will see II "GrlIh
can even find the necessary" to put IN
his brazen appearance.
The Ford" is still being held by deeds
of trust, chancery causes, trustee assign
ments. &c, and like the man AID the
bear, no one Will help "let 90"
The clerkship is demanding but little
attention, but the present incumbents are
little ahead, we believe. SIN BAD.

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.
TAIN in the right side, under the
edge ofthe ribs, increases onpres-
sure sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in TIE arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is trouble!
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part
There isgenerally considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied withapain-
ful sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains WEAKNESS and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every REM
edy. Several Of the above symp-
:oms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER Pills,
IN CASES OF AGUB AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, arc productive
ofthe most hapPyresults. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory
TO, or after taking Quininc. w
would advise all who arc afflicted
with this disease to give them :
FAIR TRIAL.

Il ROMANrIC LOTE STORY.

A delicious love idyl comes from
Wayne county, KY. A. stalwart young
Kentuckian Of knightly bearing passing
through a Monticello street ten years
ago, was noticed by a young girl sitting
at the window of the most a~ristocratic
house OF the town, and she fell in love
with him at first sight. She had wealth,
culture and beauty: he was poor, with
only his splendid physiqoc and intrepid
spirit, and was then on his-wf.sTBto seek
fortune as a cattle herder in Texas.
There he soon rose to be proprietor Of a
ranch, and took his rooney to California
and hunted for gold. After many ups
and downs, fortune favored him, and he
found himself the owner of a silver mine
at Silver City, New Mexico. The girl,
meanwhile, had bloomed into a rarely
beautiful woman, had developed unusual
literary ability, and become a contribu-
tor the to Apostolic Times, the organ eff
the Reformed Church, published at
Lexington. By some means the girl had
learned who the unconscious object Of
her fancy was, and, though he had never
seen her. the two correspondcd through
out the ten years. She never wrote a
word OF her personal attractions o
family, nor did he speak of his good for
tune he had a mind we'll stored with
judicious reading, and their correspond
ence was only that of book-Ioving friends.
A few weeks ago, however, the love she
had always bore him bore its fruit. He
wrote her, proposing marriage, and soon
followed his letter 10 her Kentucky
home, where he saw her for the first
time. Recently they were married, and
Miss Annie Berry, that was, will be sur
prised to find on reaching Silver City,
that her husband, r. B. Metcalf, is the

REMARKABLE CASES OF RESTORED
REASON.

A confederate soldier from the valley
of Virginia, in one Of the late battles OF
the late civil war, was struck in the head
BY a Minnie ball. The ball passed through
the skull, and the surgeons, afraid to
probo the wound in search of it, left the
mar to die. In the course of time he re-
covered, but had lost his reason, and was
sent to the insane asylum at Staunton,
where he remained eleven years. At
length DR.. Fauntlerey, an eminent ply
stefan of that city, obtained permission
from the asylum authorities and friends
Of the insane man to make a surgical ex-
animation of the head, with the hope of
finding the ball. He was successful, and
found the ball Embedded on the inside of
the skull and pushing against the brain.
Unable to extract it with any instru-
menj at hand, he took a chisel and NOR
tised it out. As 0 as the ball was re-
moved. reason resumed it's control, and
the deranged one was in his right mind.
He says that he is not conscious of any
thing that occurred during the interval

A HOIEL.

The Suicides Hotel, in the Latin
Quarter, Paris, has been torn down.
Ten years ago q young student, despair
ing and in love, blew out his brains in
the room which he wal occupying, and
Just n year afterward another student
| committed suicide in the same room,
after losing his money in q gamb-
ling house. The proprietor of the
hotel was alarmed at the fate Of these
unhappy students, and the room was
transformed into a lumber-cleset. A
few months a~fterward, q waiter, who
had been accused of theft, crept into
this lumber-room and hanged himself.
The. superstitious hotel-k keeper was now
in despair. He surrendered the lease
and abandoned the chamber of death.
The hotel was repeatedly sold, but its
reputation was uncanny and nobody
could thrive there. A strong-minded
druggist took possession o; the premises
and carried on his business there, but
finding his wife had deceived him,
retired to the fatal chamber and there
poisoned himself with his own drugs.
The whole quarter was up in arms and
demanded that the room should be
walled up, but the new owner laughed
at the fears of his neighbors, and declared
that he meant to occupy the chamber
himself. At last notice was1given that
the place was about to be pulled down to
make room for the Boulevard St. Ger
main. An indemnity Of $4,000 was
demanded, but refused, and the jury
having decided that $l7,500 was ample
compensation, the owner grew despond-
emit, and declared he was a ruined man.
A month ago he asked permission to visit
the old premises before they were pulled
down. His request was granted, and
nothing more was heard OF him until the
work men found him hanging by the
neck in the fatal room.-Newark Adyer-
tiSer.
