An exchange says: The narrow
gauge can successfully carry live stock,
grain, lumber, and in fact every class
of freight, at a saving to the shipper of
at least thirty-three per cent, of the
shipping by the broad gauge.
c. E. Spooner, an eminent railroad
engineer of England, says: THE in
PRODUCTION of railways on narrow
gauge is growing necessity for open
ing districts where the broad gauges
would be SO costly as not to justify the
outlay required for their application
would be the greatest boon to the pub
lic''
In Texas, Colorado, Kansas and
Nebraska they are in successful opera
ton. In Ohio and other States narrow
gauge roads are now being constructed.
The workshops in New Jersey of late
show great increase in the manufac-
ture Of narrow gauge locomotives over
the broad gauge locomotives.
The narrow gauge road from Wash
ington to Waynesburg, Pa, is almost
completed. The Brownsville papers
are agitating the question Of building
a narrow gauge to connect with the
NJ. X. y I. N. G. r. r. The narrow
gauge is decidedly what is wanted.

IT is claimed that the Fairmont
Fair was not a failure. Was it a sue
cess? AS the institution is on the
verge of dcfunctibility the Marion
county people are becoming alive to
its Importance, and are determined
not to let it die out. The officers of
our fair Association have made every
arrangement in their power, and
enough we think to insure that ours
will be success. If such thing
should be that it is broken up, then
will people see its benefit and repent
of their apathetic conduct towards it.
Now is the time to act in the matter.
Let every farmer, mechanic and bust
ness man attend and exhibit some
useful article.

MORE CHICKEN THIEvEs.-A short
time since some thieves made raid
on the chicken roost Of Mr.. Chris.
Marley, who resides in Grant Dis
trict, and captured over sixty chick
ems, leaving him about seventeen.
The chicken stealing propensities of
large number Of bipeds and quad
rupeds is astonishing, A very efflca-
cious remedy for this malady is about
. spoonful oflittle pills, composed of
. particular kind Of mineral, and ad-
ministered from an iron tube about a
yard long. They may be given in
the same way the hypodermic pro-
cess is managed. 1t is not necessa-
ry that they be taken into the stom-
sch. Judiciously applied about the
legs, back, or neck will answer as
well as any other way. A little sui
phur and saltpetre behind them ia
cilitates their power of effecting the
subject. In the case of a chicken
thief the more Of the latter that is
used the better the effect and the
more certain the cure. We strongly
recommend this treatment and will
vouch for its virtue, although we new
er tried it. Who is the first to adj
minister it to some deludcd creature
who is badly struck with chicken
mania?

Oil on sott,s Run.

Is it not likely that As much oil
and Of as good quality as any, be
found on Scott's Run? The Dunkard
oil wells are not very far distant
from this section, and there is prob
ability that if the proper steps were
taken good wells could be had in the

ply of coal free to any responsible
parties who would test the matter
thoroughly. Here is a chance for

The Board of Education of this
District met here ON Monday and
transacted the business before them,
with but few exceptions, in satisfac-
tory manner. The wages for No. l
was fixed at $35; No. 2, 500; No. 3,
$22. The levy laid was IL cts. on
the 800 for teachers fund and cts.
for building fund The most excep-
tional part of their work was fixing
the grade of a diploma from a Nor
NAL School the same as q No. 3 GER
tificate from the County Superintend-
ent. This is great blunder of the
Board, because it not only casts a re-
fection upon Normal School work,
but it will be considered a direct
fling at the work Of the young ladies
and gentlemen who have labored to
improve themselves and have secur-
ed diplomas from the Normal School.
Last Winter there we're four gradu-
ates and one undergraduate, from the
school at Fairmont, employed in the
schools in this District, and it can
not be denied that they taught the
best schools Of the District, and be-
sides kept up an interesting Institute.
Yet the action of the Board says to
them that their labor is second class
lis not appreciated. Normal teach
ers, suppose you let them run their
schools with teachers that are home
spun, for mo pent up Utica contracts
your powers, but the whole broad
continent is yours" There are many
places where your work is readily de-
manded.

UNIVERSITY ITEMS.
[By our Special Reporter. !

The regular University work of the

Although not so large a number of
students is present as was expected,
yet nearly every part of the State is
well represented by new students.
The number is still increasing and
will probably be one hundred by the
middle of the Fall Term.
Prof. A. w. Lorentz has so far re
covered as to be able to assume his
duties as Prin. of Preparatory De
partment
The vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Prof +. Wood, has
been filled by the appointment of j.
S. Stewart, of the class of II. Mr.
Stewart arrived on the 9th inst and
commenced his duties immediately
Messrs. Dayton and Marsh, of the
Senior class, are still absent. Mr.
Dayton is expected soon, Mr.. Marsh

Boys, beware of pine sticks and
sharp knives
Pres't Thompson preached in the
University Chapel last Sunday. This
being the first of series of sermons
which he proposes to deliver during
the year. He preached from LIST
Kings, xviii. He described the
idolatry that existed during the reign
of this unchristian king, the weird
spectacle of the Prophet as he stood
alone before the mighty monarch and
in solemn tones disclosed to him the
words of the text He made an earn
est appeal to the young men to be
manly, to be true, for this age of ma
terialism needs men clothed with the
whole arnor Of truth to counterfeit
the effects produced by the bold the
cries of scientific sceptics.
During the present college year
there will be delivered a series of
lectures by prominent men of West
Virginia. Hon. Chas. j. Faulkner
will deliver lecture ON State Educa-
ton some time this month. Prof.
Dwight, of Wheeling, will deliver a
series of lectures on Light. To all
these lectures students will be admit

FREAKS OF THE FLUID.


Whoever heard of man losing
the band and the binding and part
of the brim of his hat by discharge
of lightning, and escaping unhurt
himself? This almost incredible oc-
currence happened at Rowlcsburg on
Friday of last week. During the
storm Will L. Boughner, Of Rowles
burg, member of the firm of M. 4.
Howe IL Co., lumber manufacturers
was walking along the railroad track
while the thunder was rumbling and
the lightning flashing, when he felt a
slight, strange sensation about his
head. Removing his hat at once, he
discovered that the band of his new
blue hat was gone, the binding neatly
removed, and piece from the edge OF
the brim of the hat, about a quarter
of an inch wide and three inches
long, had been neatly torn away.
Will experienced no shock, and the
only really disagreeable thing about
it was that each particular hair on
the top of his head insisted on stand
ing on it's particular end like quilts
upon the fretful porcupine, in man
ner SO unsightly as to greatly yex any
fellow who wanted to go to see his
Miranda Betsey Jane on Sunday, for
it took three days careful combing
and persistent brushing, and liberal
supplies ofhair oils and ''restoratives''
to induce those hairs to clay down
like good fellows. "-Kingwood Jour.
