What "Greenhorn'' thinks of
the County What He
Saw and Heard while before
fl as a Witness.

For about week | have been afflict-
ed with the dire calamity of waiting
around the court house to be called
as witness on behalf Of the State, in
a certain matter of controversy be-
fore our County Court. AS an opiate
to allay the excruciating torrents of
this terrible affection, and in hearing
distance; OF the august, austere and
autocratic guardians Of he States
peace and treasure, whose chief bust
ness seems, to be the investment of
all the odd change that can
possibly be wrung from the
taxpayers Of the county, to
pencil from memory, the "Court
Journal" as it would appear to an
unsophisticated grcenhorn from the
country. Perhaps this Court is as ex-
peditious as any of its predecessors
and, for anything knew, it may be
more so, but to me they seem to be
making no better progress than gla-
cier rivers Of Greenland that moves
no more than fathom in fortnight;
and il we are to believe the calendar
that hangs over the Clerks desk,stili

varied in Illustration, interesting and
highly instructive throughout. No
filter person could have been selected
to open this course than the "old war
horse of Berkeley, He deserves the
hearty thanks of the students and
friends of the University for the in
terest he has manifested in the well
fare ofthe school and for his consid

instruction and improvement. The
opening of these lectures is surely
suspicious and betoken much for the

BOLD ATTEMPT TO Rob STORE
On last Sunday night an attempt was
made by some one to enter the store
room of Messrs. John w. Lott Il Co.,
this place. Whoever he was carried
key, but fortunately for the firm it
would not answer his purpose. Some
time ago the key belonging to the
door of this store room was lost or
stolen, and the firm at once had a new
lock put on the door, 1t is now be-
lieved that the individual who tried
to enter the store on last Sunday
night is the one who has the stolen
key in his possession. During the
night he made several visits to the
door, each time trying to open it, but
was always unsuccessful. He was ac-
companied by friend who stood
watch for him on the opposite SIDE of
the street. A lady who lives not far
away from the store both heard and
saw them, but she has seen precisely
such actions on several other occa-
sions.-Fdirmont West Tirg.

Fairmont, Marion Comfy.

Our school opened on the 10th ult.
with about seventy-five students,
quite fine beginning. Since that
time some one has fallen into our
ranks almost every day, until we
number about one hundred and TWEEN
ty, and still they come. This is sure
ly encouraging to the patrons Of the
normal school.
We havo two literary societies,
known as the Normal Lyceum' and
the Mozart Literary Society," They
are both in a hourishing condition
for literary work. We have some ex-
cellent essays read, especially by the
ladies of each society. l think the
ladies are the life of our societies.
Every literary society should have
lady members.
I wish to say few words to the
teachers Of Monongalia county. Ac
cording to an amendment of the
school law of West Virginia, and l
think very good amendment, we, as
teachers, are obliged to devote eight
days out of each school year to insti.
tute work. Now the question that
is agitating the minds of great many
teachers, is what kind Of institute
shall we have? Shall we have a coun-
ty institute held at the county seat,
or shall we have an institute organ
lied in each district, which, / under
stand, meets the appreciation of our
worthy Superintendent? We surely
think the former plan is much better,
because if the teachers from all over
the county would congregate at the
county seat about holidays and hold
an institute of about eight days du-
ration, and receive the assistance of
several prominent educators Of our
State, it surely would be great deal
more interesting and instructive TO
the teachers than to organize one in
stitute in each district. where there
would not be more than ten or fifteen
members, and the most of them
young and knowing nothing what6v-

they are coming up, even at this
miserable pace, as far behind time as
the middle of week before last.
The lawyers are laundering, the
witnesses are laundering, the Court
bob their heads together and keep
mumbling, while clients are grum-
bling, and I and everybody else are
wondering why in thunder the people
don't make some provisions for dis
pensing with this expensive humbug
called q County Court. A week and
more consumed with State cases and
not done yet. suppose it must have
taken - thousand dollars Of the peo-
pies money to run the machine that
long. One day q single case upon
which but one witness testified and
and only ready for the jury to retire
1t was whisky case, anybody would
know there was whisky in 1t for after
a dozen jurors had spent another day
at 1t up stairs, they came down in the
evening and asked the Prosecuting
Attorney if he had not the evidence
in the case written out, that they
might take it up to their room with
them, and digest it at their leisure.
They did not get the "writins," but
they went back and did precisely
what In one sense they should have
dane-hung themselves.
A half day deciding whether or not
an attorney should be allowed to ask
a witness il a certain party acknowl-
edged little boy to he his son, and
think good part Of the remaining
half in asking the question.
Scores of witnesses, jurors and wait
ing clients sent home at noon on
Wednesday to report Friday morning,
while the court adjourned over that
the honorables and right honorables
might ride out to the fair grounds
and see the fast trotting. Verify,
and indeed, men should not hold two
offices ut the same time.
Thus far few parties have been

of the Court. During my brief Ito

the acquaintance Of justices and many
members Of the bar, and have bet

al men in general than / did have,
but surely system of business and
justice, so slow, so expensive, and so
uncertain in its nature and character
as our County Court system, SHOULD
be gotten rid of as soon as possible.
And | will say in conclusion, that if
there is single chuckle-headed farm
or in Monongalia County who will
take time to spend one week at any
session Of our County Court, and note
the cost Of dispensing justice before
that tribunal, and will not then, try,
inside the mystic circle of the order of
Patrons of Husbandry, to find less
expensive system of litigation, and a
far more certain chance for justice,
that he deserves to be what he always
has been, "a Hewer Of wood and

A Night of Sorrow.

Such scenes as those of last night
show as how thin is the crust upon
which modern civilization is built.
Underneath tie smooth surface OF So
eiety there smolder fires which may
break out when least expected with
volcanic energy. Men grown des-
perate by poverty and suffering, or
smarting under what they feel to be
wrong and oppressive, do not rea-
son very clearly. They feel that the
stagnafion Of business during the
past few years has borne hardest up
on them and they are prone to visit
their suffering upon the wrong per-
sons. 1t can not be denied that there
is widespread sympathy for the
strikers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, a sympathy that extends
beyond the class Immediately affect
ed by it. There are many of the
laboring classes that believe that
the strikers are fighting the battle
between Labor and Capital, and their
hopes were with them. We are far
from saying that this is rational
opinion; but, right or wrong, it ex-
lists, and it is useless to shut ones
eyes to its full significance. The
strike does not appear to have been
preconcerted on large scale. 1t
grew from small beginning and
swept on as a flame across infamma-
BILE material. 1t is the existence of
this vast mass Of indammable mate
rial that is so alarming. The ter
rlble scenes that attended the march
OF the detachment of the Sixth regi-
ment up Baltimore street do not ap-
pear to have been planned. They
were spontaneous explosions; at
first rough play. The mob grew
violent afterward. When the sol.
diers began to assemble at their ar
mory The streets were thronged with
people who jeered them, knocked
their hats off and jostled them rough
ly. This was the play of the wild
beast before it showed its teeth.
When the firing began the fiercer
passions broke forth. 1t is impOssi-
bic at this moment to get at the full
facts, or to look at them with calm
ness. The air is full of terrific ru-
mors. Where we sit writing there
has been the scene of fierce fight
between the soldiers and the mob.
The whole street rang with the rat
tie of fire arms, and several men
were killed in our sight. The streets
are still thronged with excited men.
A full revelation of all the facts
must be made before the proper res
can be fixed for the deeds
Of this fearful night Baltimore
Guzette, of Saturday.
