HIGHwAY RoBBERYl-Last Saturday
evening, about 9 clock, Mr.. Elias Werk-
heiser, one of the employees at Mr. Charles
E. Kistler's tannery, at Sciota, this county,
started for his residence short distance this
side of the tannery, and when opposite the
long stack of bark Mf. w. noticed a man
coming towards him, and as they met, the
scoundrel struck Mr.. W. heavy blow
below the left eye which partially felled
him. Mr.. W. Immediately recovered from
the effects of the blow and started on run
when the rascal caught him by the back of
the coat collar aDd dealt him two or three
more heavy blows over the top ofthe head with
a billy, and succeeded in getting him down
and robbed him of all his money-about $40.
Mr. Werkheiser, as soon as he recovered
called loudly for assistance, and his re-
peated calls attracted the attention of several
persons who happened to be in hailing dis
tance at the time. As soon as arrangements
could be made several of the citizens ol
Sciota started in pursuit of the rascal and
tracked him for some distance when they
lost the trail, owing to the darkness of the
night Digent search was instituted OF
Sunday and Monday, but up to day no arrest
has been made.

Score One for Thompson.

The Rev. John r, Thompson,
President of the West Virginia Uni
versity at Morgantown, is a member
of the West Virginia Methodist Epis-
copal Conferences and a minister of
that denomination, but when, during
the session of that body which adj
journed here last Tuesday, a resolu-
ton was offered by a Committee of
Conference requesting the Bishop to
appoint him President of the Univer-
sity as by authority of the church,
Mr.. Thompson denied any right of
the church in the premises and refus-
ed to allow the Minutes of Conference
to show that he is President of the
University, other than by action of
the Board of Regents appointed by
the Governor of the State.
Inasmuch as this is not sectarian
school, President Thompson did
wise thing in thus anticipating and
defeating any impression that might
arise from the proposed resolution as
to it's being in the interest of any
particular sect or denomination, relig-
ious or otherwise.-Charleston Couy-
Ter, 11th inst.

ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE.-Last Wednes-
day about IL O'Clock, the neigLbors III
the immediate neighborhood were
startled by the report of pistol in
house occupied by George Waddell
at the west end of Franklin street,
and OWNED in an instant what was
the matter from circumstances which
we need not now mention. They
knew that Mr.. Waddell had shot
himself, and no one found courage to
venture into the house until L. d.
Hunnell arrived. He immediately
entered the house. and on going up
stairs found Waddell lying on the
bed with small revolver in one
hand and a photograph in the other.
His shirt front was all bloody and on
examination a bullet hole blackcned
with powder was found about 81
inches above and TO the left of the left
nipple. Drs. Rogers, Blachly and
Throckmorton were summoned and
after examining the wounded man
they pronounced it fatal shot. At
present writing Mr.. Waddell is still
living with some hopes of his recov
cry Woynesburg Ind.

West Virginia.

To emigrants West Virginia offers
special inducements. In her borders
is plenty of land, good, cheap, and
Astounding in various SOURCES of
wealth. She is near large markets,
and the centre of a circle of prosper
Gus states. Her land is bound to
greatly enhance rapidly in value rap
idly at an early day. This is certain
to occur from the very nature of
things and ought to be, in consequence
tempting spot to emigrants. The
certainty of good living and the
prospect of decided advances in prop
erty is combination that few sec
lions can offer. The trouble has
been that our resources have never
been advertised to any extent. A
State survey has never been made,
and our riches as State are not
known even to our oldest sitizens.-
The display made at the Centennial
will unquestionably do us good. 1t
showed portion of the wealth of the
State in minerals, woods, woods and
agricultural products, but the halt
has not yet been told.-Sunday

A Golden Harvest.

The American harvest of 1877 was
truly golden harvest According
to the estimates of Mr.. Walker, stats.
tican of the New York Produce Elk
change, the harvest of 1877 is the
largest the country h~s ever gathered
1t amounts in round numbers to $50,
100000 bushels of wheat, 1,2SO,OO0,
600 bushels of corn, The largest
yield ofwheat in any preceding year
was 300, 100000 bushels in 1874, but
the corn crop then was only S44,14S,
600 bushels. Compared with last
year the wheat product shows an in
crease of 100000 bushels. 1t is
difficult to express the value of the
present crop in dollars. At the sea-
board, taking the ruling market quo
tations for October as a basis for
computation, the value of the wheat
crop may be set down at 100000,
600 and the corn crop at 100000
900. This would almost be an en-
barrassment of riches but for the for
tunate coincidence of short harvest
in the United Kingdom, and the par
tial cutting off of Russia's supply by
the Eastern war, which has resulted
in largely increased demand for
American grain. An examination
OF figures for the past two months
reveals the gratifying fact that our
wheat exports for that time exceeds
those for the corresponding period of
last year by 7,5S6,237 bushels. At
the same time there was a falling off
in our corn exports of ,633, O54 bush
els, but this is explainable by the
fact the fall movement in corn does
not begin until some weeks after the
wheat has commence to flow freely
toward the seaboard. The immen
increase in our wheat exports furnis-
es solution for the extraordinary
drainage of gold from the Bank of
Engl3nH for American shipments
Now it is impossible that this sud
den andsvast addition to our wealth
will not permanently advantage trade
and business of every kind. The bas-
is Of al prosperity is the prosperity
OF the farmer; when nature is bounti
full TO him the whole country shares
in his good fortune; when she is Mig
gard his. loss becomes the poverty
Of the, nation. We have already ex-
periended the. first symptom of reviv-
ing trade, hut the real, the tangible,
the Hstufd increase will not come
till the crops of 1877 have been mar
keteds tit is fair to expect that the
spring Of 1878 will witness the renew
al Of activity in every branch of in
dustry. Register

wA terrible disaster OCCUR

~A terrible disaster occurred
in colliery at High Blantine, Scot
land, on Monday. The explosion
imprisoned about four hundred men
and there is little hope of rescuing
any of them. a London dispatch
dated Monday evening says that the
explorers report forty corpses at the
bosto.n Of the shaft. \ knocking was
heard at the bottom of the shaft and
the explorers arc attempting to open
communication from another shaft,
but they Still have 900 feet to pene-
tratc, aud they cannot possibly reach
the Imprisoned men before morning,
and it is feared that few, if any, will
remain alive until that time.
