OLIVER BURNE, of Monroe county,
this State, turned out to pasture one hun
bred and ffty-hve head of cattle. The
average weight Of each was l,2OOpounds.
Col. DOM PIATT, who was once
lawyer and ilrist, promptly sets at rest
the absurd story that he is about to re-
turn to the practice of law by admitting
that he never hsd any practice to which
he could return.
THE water that God has given for the
use OF all his children, is sometimes claim
ed as the exclusive property Of monopo-
lists. The White Sulphur Springs can
be used only by its aristocrtic boardeFs.-
Roane Appeal
Yes, that's true. The grass which God
gave to al his cattle, when it grows in
another mans meadow and is made up
into hay, can only be used by those who
pay for it.
The following is from Mondays Rich
mond Dispatch, being extracts from the
report of the proceedings of the Eplsco-
pal Council: "The Secretary read ? pa.
per from the Diocese OF West Virginia,

Mr.. SHERMAN doesn't scare worth g
cent, but he pushes on TO resumption like
hero.-Nel0 York Tribune.
OLD VIRGINIA repudistes Commun-
Ism. The colored man Is too sharp TO be
fooled by another forty acres and mule
party.-N. y. Herald
We do not know of any man in his
State, who would make an ADLER Con-
gresham, than Hon John a. Hutchin-
son, of Wood county. -Rttchte Gazette.
WHEAT harvest will commence in this
county from the lSt to the 10Th Of June.
A great deal OF wheat has baen In head
at least two weeks IVirt County Mentor.
If the money thai will be spent on the
occasion of the military exhibition n.
Wheeling on Decoration Day would be
expended in the relief of the needy and
the sick, it would be much better applied,
we think.-Roane appeal.
The Wheeling REGISTER has paid
Major Jim Sweeney that $4,000 he re-
covered from tho proprie:ors Of the pa
per. The REGISTER must be pretty stiff
financially, or it could no. afford to deal
in such valuable characters.-RiicLis Ga
zetce.
SERIOUS fears are being entertained
tor the safety of the whoa. crop. The
cold, wet weather for the past few days
has been very unfavora0le, and the rust
is beginning to make its appearance IN
many places. -Nct0 MartmSUHLe Mes

MIR. Sherman had better push on and
cover that little shortage OF 52OOO00,OUO
which Senator Davis says no has discov-
cred in the Treasury. Nobody expects
Mr.. Sherman TO pay this out OF his own
pocket honest old soul that he is, for
probably more than half Of it was created
before he broke into the Treasury, but he
will find it rather diifCultto resume with
this sort of deficit in the nations bank
vaults. -Baltimore Gazette.
