sa~ The last report Of the Auditor of
this State, according to the Wheeling
Register, shows that the State is now in
debt to the school fund and to the banks
in the sums Of seventy thousand dollars,
which will necessitate either an increase
of taxation, or reduction in usual ap-
preparation. In addition to this seventy
thousand dollars now due from the
State, the las. Legislature made an ap-
preparation of twenty thousand dollars
to pay a debt in the same direction, but
owing to lack of funds i'll the treasury
this debt has not been liquidated, and in
addition to the so, 900 borrowed this
year, making debt Of $4,000. There
is also another deficit of about $1,000,
as will be seen from the Auditors re-
port of 1874, which has not been made
up, leaving total debt Of something
over 100000, which the State has TO
meet ut once.

OBITUARY..

Written to the memory of our faith
er, Is. w. ENGLE, who fell asleep in
Jesus, on Sabbath evening, January
2Slh, 1877, aged SO years, l l months
and two days.
Farewell, Father; deep and lowly.
Rest thee on thy bed of clay;
Kindred spirits, angels holy,
Bear thy heavenward soul away.
Sad we gave thee 10 the number,
Laid in yonder icy halls,
And above thy peaceful slumbcr,
Many q tear of sorrow falls.
Hear our prayer, o God Of glory,
Lowly breathed in sorrows song;
Bleeding hearts lie bare before thee,
Come in holy trus. made strCng.
ILark Il voice moves nearer, stronger,
From the shadowy land We dread:
Mortals mortals. seek no longer,
Those that live among the dead.
Farewell, Father. soon we'll meet thee,
Where no cloud of sorrow rolls;
For glad tidingS float, how swectly!
From the glorious band of souls;
Deaths cold gloom now parts asundcr,
I.O, the folding shades are gone;
Mourner, upward ycndcr, yondcr.
Gods broad day comes pouring OH.
Farewell Father, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But It's God that hath brreft Us,
lie can all our sorrows heal.

Or Saturday, as was generally an'ic'-
rated would be the case, the electoral
commission, or perhaps more properly
speaking, the Congressional returning
hoard. performed the graceful feat of
reversing It's previous decisions III the
matter Of Louisiana and Florida, and
declared that they could go behind the
returns from Oregon, which action of
course gives that State to liayes. After
this We need net be surprised at anything
that may be done. The commission
has shown itself capable of being "evc-
rythiny by turns and nothing long.
The Infamous baseness of the whole
proceedings will not soon be forgotten.
No amount of decei'ful palaver from
radical leaders will cause the people TO
lose sight of the fact that they have
been shamefally betrayed aud swindled
out OF their rights by political tricksters
and shysters, who, it is to be hoped,
will not long be permitted to disgrace
the places which they have prosiitnted
to the accomplishment of their own sell
fish ends. Do these judges suppose
that the American people are natural
born fools? Do they suppose that they
will tolerate SO infamous fraud upon
their dearest rights,-that they will not
sooner or later call them 10 account FOX
the betrayal of the high trust reposed
in them! Mr.. Hayes may be counted
in and he will probably be inaugnrated,
but more than one-haif of the people of
the country will look upon him, as no
better than usurper, aud will render
him only sullen obedience. lie may
endeayor 10 conciliate the down-trod-
den people of the South by quietly
Withdrawing the troops from South
Carolina and Louisiana, thus permitting
the legally elected officers of those
States to perform their duties without
interference from any quarter, but the
people will not forget that he himself
owes his elevation to fraud and yenality
of the worst and most contemplate
type, and will await with Impotence
the coming Of the time when they can
place the seal Of their condemnation
upon the party which has trampled un-
der foot their rights and set at defiance
The popular will.

seS- COUNTY NEws.-We clip the
following from the Charlestown Spirit
of Tuesday LAST A3
Mr.. Samuel Michaels, of the vicinity
of Duffield's Depot, killed a log a few
days ago which weighed 4S0 pounds
aud it wasn't very fat either.
"A young man named John Farmer
was arrested by Sergeant simpson on
Saturday, after considerable chase,
during which Farmer drew gun on
the officer near the suburbs OF the town
and the latter then fred ut Farmer with
shot gun, lodging small shot IN MS
wrist. The prisoner had been engaged
in disturbance at the residence OF Mr..
Michael McMahon, during which he
broke in some of the windows OF Mr..
McMahon's dwelling. He had hear
ing before Justice O'Bannon,yesterday,
and was committed to Jail in default OF
security for good behaviour.
FIRE IN THE CoUNTRY.-The frame
dwelling on the land of Mr.. D.. IL.
Wiltshire, near Wiltshire's School
House, in this county, was destroyed by
fire about 2 o'clock on "Wednesday
morning last. 1t is supposed that the
fire was communicated in some manner
from the chimney. The house was oc-
cupied by Mr.. Jas. 7. Littleton, who
with his wife and child barely escaped
destruction with the building. MIR. L..
saved portion of his furniture, but
the remainder was destroyed. Among
the losers by the fire was Mr.. John Z.
Wiltshire, who had u quantity OF wheat
and other articles in the burned build
ing. The loss of all parties is estimated
at $500 or 5000. No insurance.
BLooMrRY FACTORY AGAIN DESTROY
Ep.-On Friday morning last the
Bloomery planning and Saw Mills, own
ed by Mr.. Geo. II. Turner and leased
and operated by Mr.. VIM. Phillips,
were, for the second time, destroyed by
fire. The fire was discovered about 3
o'clock, and made such rapid Roadway
that the buildings and all they contain
cd were destroyed in short time-in-
tlictiug loss upon MIR. Turner in the
buildings and machinery of about ~
500. Mr.. Phillips loses from $1,000 10
1880 in finished and unfinished work,
contained in the buildings, (among
which was large quantity OF material
for the new building of the Sadler Bros,
now in course Of erection in this place.
besides a quantity of walnut lumber
outside. Messrs John w. Daily, n. j.
Robinson and Jas. F. Patterson,
mechanical employees of the establish
ment, also lose heavily in the total
destruction of all their mechanical tools.
The fire can only be accounted for as
the act of an incendiary.

s@- The friends OF Gov. Hayes at
Washingtou,a ARE rather irritated and an
noyed at the tone of the following
speech made by him at Fremont, Ohio,
on Saturday night. They admit that it
was trifle undignifed, but they excuse
it by saying that the Governor had got
out in the backwoods and did not know
that there were any newspaper men
about. This may be, but the speech
does not the less show the calibre OF
the man. Returning Board Hayes
arrived at Fremont Unexpectedly, and
an inpromptu reception was given him.
He was introduced by General Buck
land, who said: "Friends, | have the
pleasure of introducing our President
elect, as we believe"
q Governor Hayes said: "Friends and
ueighbors, the manner in which | am
introduced makes it rather easy for me,
to speak without embarrassment, but
We had better stick to the old title until
we are sure of something new. In
these times of uncertainty we are often
disappointed. The good news Of to-
day is often dispelled by the evil news
of tomorrow. During the few months
since the 18th of November | have
schooled myself so as not 10 be very
much down nor very much up, but to

possible. This kindly meeting this even
