PEAcHEs.-Accounts still agree
that the peach crop will be immense,
although in some parts of the PENN
sula the yield will be very small.
Not one-half of the crop will be sent
to market in the natural state, owing
to the great excess of the supply over
the demand, Last year experiments
were made in drying the fruit by in
tense heat, and this year that branch
of the business will be prosecuted
extensively, especially in Delaware.
A bushel of peaches contains two
gallons of water, which can be driven
out in few hours by evaporation,
and the slices, when brought into
contact with water again, are found
to be not materially altered in taste.
Europe is the market to which the
dried peaches are to be sent,-Cdm-
bridge (M) Chronicle.

At a time when the most popular
timber regions of the country are
being rapidly exhausted, it may not
be too soon to call attention to other
sections, which only require increas-
ed accessibility to supply all the de-
mands Of the market for centuries to
come. The plateaux and slopes of
the Allegheny mountains, in West
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee,
present millions of acres Of the most
desirable timber on the continent,
poplar, pine, oak, black walnut,
cherry, hickory, ash, beach and SUI
gar maple of the most stately growth
and superior quality, Thousands
and thousands Of acres ut one stretch
may vet be obtained there, at prices
ranging from 81 to So per acre, and
tramneays of as much MS twenty
miles in length from the mill to the
nearest river or railroad stations,

profitable development.

Reply TO "Leon.n

Editor Register
I have very carefully examined
two articles in the Point Pleasant
Monitor, written by Mr.. B. j. Red
mond concerning the action of our
County Superintendent and Prof.
Kenny at Teachers Association"
held at Leon recently, This gentle
man has been wrongly informed, or
he is laboring under a false impress
ion. In the first place he says that
Messrs. Hogg and Kenny are "both
violent partisans and leading mem
beIs of the Point Pleasant ring" l
wonder where, or by whom, he re-
ceived his information. know and
he ought to know, that Prof. Kenny
don't NEEDLE with politics; and if
Mr.. Hogg has given some aid in ia.
vor of his party, he is by no means a
"violent partisan" If that political
"riug" to which Mr.. Redmond alludes
does exist in Point Pleasant, why did
he not tell it long ago? 1t is some
thing new to me. He refers to a res
olution which was neither gotten up
nor voted upon. A moremotion was
made, recommending Mr., Hogg as
candidate for reelection; and it pass
ed by a unanimous vote. Remember
that l was there myself. And SO far
as know, there was no ring rork nor
,cire pulling connected with it. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Redmond resorts to
these undermining, insinuating and
unjust means for no other purpose
than to defeat Mr., Hogg in the pend
ing election. In his second article,
he says a great many foolish things
that need no attention; and concludes
to drop the subject, as he knows a
"real live teacher" who will take it
up if it is continued. He asks why
the precaution taken to secure some
one to second the resolutions before
they were offered, Why none pcrc Of

licvo that he asked any ono to sec
ond his motion.
regard Mr.. Redmond as n gentle
man and friend, but he has impli-
Gated me as one of the Board of Ex-
aminers. Mcssrs. Hogg and Kenny
have always paid me due respect as
an associate examiner. AS a Board
we have no favored parties" We
grade applicants on their merit; and
by so doing, a great many are disap-
pointed, There has never been n
Board of Examiners in this county
that gave entire satisfaction in
awarding certificates; and there new.
or will be one that will do so, A
farmer residing in Robinson District,
whose son failed to merit n first class
certificate, is using this matter rs an
clcctioncering scheme; yet he is bare
ly competent to attend to his own
private and secular business at home,
Perhaps he has "bull.dozed' Mr.,
Redmond.
Now, let that "roal, live teacher
come out fairly with his proper sig.
nature, and We will try TO Gnlighton
the people on this subject,

The women and children were not
killed, but were taken to a place of
safety under escorts of squaws, but
those who are left in a stockade fort
at State Creek fear the worst. An
attack was expected at any moment
and the force at hand was wOefully
insufficient. To add to the terror of
the situation, it is far away from any
place where troops are stationed and
the volunteers are without suitable
arms. There is no certainty that the
worst is not yet to come.

CAPITAL NOTES.
[Erom our Exchanges. |

S. c. Burdett's speech on the Cap
ital question at the Round House,
Huntington, last week, is warmly
eulogized by those who heard it,
Cir. Burdett reports Cabell enthu-
siastic on this question, and thinks
that good old county will roll up a
stunning majority for Charleston
There are no Clarksburg votes in
that county.
For ten days the people of Wheel
ing were pestered almost to death by
the friends of Clarksburg to manifest
interest enough in that place to at
tend a Clarksburg mass meeting at
the Court House in Wheeling last
Saturday night. Saturday night
came and the result was u complete
fizzle. Wheeling won't enthuse for
Clarksburg,
There seems to be an impression
that at the August election votes on
the Capital question are to be repre-
sented by a distinct ballot from the
one voted for School officers. This
is a mistake. But one ballot can be
deposited by any single voter, and
his choice for the Capital will be suf-
ficently indicated on that by writing
or printing on it the name of the
place for which he desires to vote.
We desire again to remind the vo-
tiers of the Third District that there
is not a particle of doubt of the sue
cess of Charleston, at the election on
August seventh, if each voter in the
District will do his duty by attend,
ing the polls himself and urging all
others to do likewise. Let no man
neglect his duty in this respect.
On the 9TH of August next the
people of this State will vote upon
the question for a permanent loca-
cation of the State Capitol, Rcmem-
the day, attend the polls and vote
for Charleston.
The election for School officers and
to permontly locate the State Capt.
toll, occurs on Tuesday the 7th Of
August. Dent forget the day
Charleston is the place for the Capt.
toll.
The permanent location of the
Capitol of West Virginia at Charles
ton will be of incalculablo benefit to
the people of this section of the State
to Professional men, Farmers, Mer-
chants, Artisans and Mechanics all!
Go to the Polls on the 7th of August
and vote for Charleston.

ken up by many of the influential
dailios of the East and all of the
Western press. Some of the New

it, and they are pleased to call it the
silver "crazc" in Ohio, meaning
thereby the very general demand of
both parties for the reconciliation
of the metal for nearly a century our
most acceptable circulating medium
and President Hayes is frequently
consured because this sentiment is
supposed to be the prevailing senti'
