Mr.. Editor:-Allow me to contrib,
ute the following to your local;
Rev. Mr.. Young, preacher in
charge" of the NJ. E. Church, South,
Catlettsburg, Ky, left Tuesday NOR
ming for his home. He had been in
our place for week, preaching eve
ry night to full congregations. On
Sabbath night the Church was crow
ded. Mr.. Young is an earnest and
effective preacher, plain and practi-
cal in his discourses, and it is to be
hoped that his labors among us, du.
ring the week of his sojourn, will
be productive of good. We but echo
the feelings of many, when we wish
him great success in his labors in the
vineyard of the Lord. Who will not
say amen to the statement of Brother
Robinson on Monday night? "We
need more religion in our place. =
Yes, we need deeper work of grace
in the hearts of Gods own people,
We need such a work upon the hearts
of our young people. May God stir
up his people to pray and work to
that end. ooh that the Lord would
revive u.s." Mr.. Editor, let me here
say to every child Of God in this
place; Brother, sister, let us earnest
ly pray and earnestly work for the
salvation of our people, old and
young, Yours, L.

New VoLuME.-With this number
we commence the sixteenth year, or
volume of the Register. We do not
intend to review the fifteen years
we have published this paper. We
will say, however, that in the future,
as in the past, we shall endeavor to
publish a good county paper and
shall strive to make it an acceptable
and welcome visitor to every family
in the county, We have not such n
list of subscribers as this county
ought to afford, but hope to add ma
ny new names to our subscription
list during this volume. We know
if people would try their county pa
per awhile they would never do
without it again. With this num-
Der large portion of subscriptions
expire, and we ask all to renew at
once. A speedy response from those
who are indebted to this Office, will
relieve us from embarrassment. In
all the years that we have published
this paper, financially, the past six
months has been the most trying
upon us. Work has been plenty,
but collections are hard to make
A good many hundred dollars are
now due us, and if each person will
settle and pay his account with this
office, or a portion of it at least, it
would be great help to us in dis
charging our liabilities.
We are compelled to call the at
tcntion of post-masters OF this coun-
ty to the fact that number Of our
patrons complain of the careless and
unsatisfactory manner in which
they discharge their duties We
mail our papers regularly and in
good time for the mails, and we pro-
pose to see that they are delivered to
our subscribers, whether the fault is
in our Office here or at the other of
fees in the county. We intend that
post.masters shall perform their du-
ty whether it is onerous to them or
not And if they go on in the way
they have been doing for some time
past, will report them to the Depart,
mcnt The way in which some post
masters and mail agents treat news
paper mails is not only source Of
ANNOYANCE to subscribers, but an
injury and injustice to publishers
Some of the Radical post-masters
seem to think that Democratic news
papers have no right in the mail
bags, and if they happen to arrive al
their offices, should not be delivered
to subscribers. The Register was held
back for two weeks in this poSt-otiicc
not long since, although half-dozen
mails had arrived and departed in
the meantime, and as a consequence
our subscribers along the Kanawho
were deprived of their papers. An
other habit these officers have gotten
into is delivering mail matter tc
parties other than to whom address
ed. A special agent of the Depart
mcnt ought to drop into this county
No man who is n man of enter
prise, activity and energy, can af
ford to do without county paper
Therefore We recommend the Regis

HEAVY CATTLE.-Charles T. Beale,
Esq, has shipped to New York du-
ring this Fall ITO head of beef cattle
the average weight being nearly
1600lbs. Eighty of these cattle were
of his own grazing and feeding, and
the others were purchased of Messrs.
Peter S. Lewis, James Capehart and
John W. Steenbergen. The cattle
were slaughtered in New York and
shipped to Liverpool, England. So
it will be seen that our county is
contributing to the commissary de-
partment of our English cousins.

DlED.-It becomes our painful du-
ty to record the death Of one of Mason
county'S most promising young men,
A. d. Bickel, of Point Pleasant, whose
death occurred Tuesday, the 9th day
of February, 1877, about half-past one
o'clock. Mr.. Bickel has been con-
fined to his bed for month or more,
from hemorrhage of the lungs, which
fatal disease he has been subject to
for several years past. Few persons
of his age had more or warmer friends.
He has, during the short period of
his life, filled many private positions
of trust and responsibility, as well as
some public ones, to the entire salts
faction of his employers and the
public. His word was his bond, and
in accepting any position in bust
ness or public trust, he made his
employers and the public's interest
his own. His death leaves a vacancy
in our midst that will be felt not
only by his.immediate relatives, but
by his large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances. We, in common with
his relatives and other friends, desire
to mingle our sorrow and tears with
theirs, and we but re-echo the senti-
ments of this community in saying
that his bereaved widow and orphan
child has the sympathy and prayers
of all who knew him and them
"Peace to his ashes" The funeral
will take place from his fathers res
idence, this Thursday morning at
II o'clock, on which occasion the
Masonic fraternity and the indie
pendent Order of Forostcrs will turn
out, of which orders he was an honor
cd and exemplary member.

Mr.. Editor-Will you be so kind
as to allow us to rectify a mistake,
which you seem to be laboring I'M
der, in regard to that reply published
in the Monitor So far from DR..
Lane being the authorof it, neither
he, his wife, or daughter, ever knew
a reply was to be sent, until after
it was written. And Mr., Tippett,
would you take it kindly, if we
should slip in a little suggestion
here, that is, that before jumping at
conclusions in future, you would put
on your glasses, and be little more
particular in examining Gear marks, J"

OFFICERS APPoINTED.-The Coun-
Gil Monday night appointed Frank J.
Hulve City Sergeant, and Adolphus
Hess City Assessor. We believe Mr..
Hulve will make not only good but
an acceptable officer to our people,
We hope that he will permit none
of the disorders that disgraced the
town for the past year, and that in
preserving the peace and good order
of the town he will be no respecter
of persons, whether rich or poor
Mr.. Hess will doubtless make an
acceptable Assessor.

With pleasure we publish the
above. The DR.. scrutinized it "after
it was written" that is.all we claim
ed. We know the DR.. was extreme
ly anxious that reply to our first
article should be published, and to
this end he solicited several gentle
men in town to write one, which all
declined to do. He stated to gentle
man, before the Monitor was issued,
that the reply of the ladies" would
be in that paper, and chopped that no
one would think that he wrote the
article" Why was he so anxious, if
he had nothing to do with it?
