preached his farewell sermon on the 2Sth

been no exception to the general rule gov

thanked the congregation for their kindness

thanked God daily, and nothing of which to

Hibernians Vigorously Denouneea.
Fifteen hundred people attended the
Catholic church at Milford, Mass, on the asth
ult., attracted by the expectation that Father
Cuddedy would allude to the controversy
between himself and the order of Hibernians
The Rev. Father denounced the order in the
most severe terms, and declared the pcws in
the church, held by them, vacant, and warned
Americans against the order, as the Mollie
Mcguire disturbances in Pennsylvania might
be repeated in New England. The members
Of the order declare their intention to adhere
regardless Of the action Of the church.

NEWS OFTHE WEEK,

A st. Petersburg correspondent says it
Is not yet known whether the British govern
mcnt will accept the new formula, namely:
that Congress shall consider the treaties OF
1856 and 1871, in relation to the treaty OF San
Stefano. The British cabinet does not insist
on any particular form Of words, but merely
demands that Russia should in some way re-
coSnlzc the supremacy of Europe relative to
the Eastern question. The truth is that the
discussion about the formula covers more i'm
portant matters. One issue out of the pres
ent complications consists in unloing much
OF Hussia's work and giving to the rest
european instead Of specifically Russian
character. Another consists in what is called
the principle Of equivalents or compensation
to the powers for Russia's acquisitions. The
latter solution is the one Russia desires, while
Great Britain seems resolved to insist upon

Over Production.

In 1878 this prostration of business
became general, but the officers OF
the government, the party-organs
and leaders, attributed the trouble to
panic, and assured the people that
confidence would be restored, indus
tries revived, and business made
prosperous. Five years have elaps-
ed, but the promised revivalofthrift
and prosperity has not come. Had
the difficulty been due to panic
alone the effect would have soon pass
ed away as promised, but the trouble
was deeper than that. 1t was the
paralysis that follows exhaustion.
Under the mistaken idea that it
was but panic, manufacturers went
on, produced an over.supply and
glutted the markets. The result was
a fall in prices and the failure Of
thousands of business mep. A large
proportion of business men carry on
their business upon credit The
lumbermcn and manufacturers of
all kinds were obliged to force their
accumulated stocks upon overstock-
ed markets, and prices have fallen of
until many articles are lower than
before the war.
Thus the reduction of demand
through exhaustive taxation, and
then over production Incorporated
to bring manufacturers, business
men and labors down in one common
ruin.-Er.

Peabody Institutes.

Superintendent Peudleton has is
sued the following circular to the
State teachers;
To The County Superiatsndcnts and
Teachers of IKest Virginia;
In answer to numerous inquiries,
we take this method of stating that
the Peabody Institutes" which we
expect to have conducted during this
summer-probably four in each Con-
gressional district OF the State-are
provided for by DR.. B. Sears, Gener-
al Agent of the Peabody Fund. They
are placed By him under my man
agement, with authority to locate
them, and to appoint instructors who
shall conduct them. As they form
no part of our school law, attendance
on them will be entirely voluntary,
and cannot be credited to the eight
days Of attendance required by our
law ON County Institutes. Hence
we desire to locate them only among
teachers who desire and will appre-
ciate them,
We earnestly solicit the active co.
operation Of all teachers, particular
lly the County superintendent
Sections 80 and 30 Of the school law
impose new and important duties
upon these officers, and they cannot
fail to see the special fitness of these
Peabody Institutes to prepare them
for the skillrul performance of their
new work. We shall aim to have
themconducted by experienced teach
ers, who, both by precept and exam
pie, will present and enforce the best
methods, not only Of conducting in
stitutes, but of teaching and manag-
ing schools,
The wisdom Of the Legislature in
providing for County Institutions, at
the great expense which they neces.
sarily involve, can only be justified
through faithfulness and competency
in the County superintendent in
conducting them, and we cannot too
earnestly urge upon them the high
obligation under which they are
placed to embrace this opportunity
for studying the best methods for
performing this, the most difficult, as
it is the most valuable part of their
official service. We respectfully ask
the interest of the people of the State
in this aud all other measures taken
to lift up tho standard of education
among US, and increase the etlicien:
cy of our school system. Faithful
and competent work on the part of
officers and teachers, and the sus.
tanning sympathy and watchfulncss
of the whole people-the common
patrons of the schools, are the essen
tiul powers of our success.
Respectfully,
W. X. PESDLEToN,
State Superintendent.

"PrincipTes, Not Men"


The sonama Democrat, in some
very just remarks, which we fully
endorse, says "the members of the
Democratic party of late years seem
to have forgotten in measure their
duty as individual parts Of that great
political organization which has done
so much to add to the territory, and
to build up and preserve the in
stitutions of one of the most benef-
cent forms of government ever
brought into existence by men for
securing and protecting their rights
to life, liberty, property, the pursuit
Of happiness in its varied forms,
and that great Religious privilege,
the worship of God according to the
dictates Of conscience. Heretofore ii
has been ono of the cardinal features
of the party, as party, and in its in
dividual membership also, to ignore
men when principles were at stake,
and this feature it was that enabled
the party to WELD so great an inhu-
ence in all its earlier campaigns
The differences arising between men
assuming to leadership upon minor
points at issue, were left to them
selves to settle-the party, as u party
looking only to the success of those
great principles which should ever
be held paramount in all its action
"Tho doctrine that the party, as
an organization, has a claim upon
the service of every individual mem
Der, and that no individual member
has any claim whatsoever upon the
party, is the doctrine which SHOULD
obtain to-day, as it did in the past
that the party may regain the prout
position it once occupied in the his
tory ofthe government, principles
not men," must be again the shibbo
leth of Democrats, if they hope to OBJ
tain the complete ascondancy in the
affairs of government, State and Fed
eral. Men seeking to lead and OBJ
tain official position, upon the
ground that the party is indebt
ed to them for services rendered
should be reminded Of the error into
which they have fallen, If mar
be honest and capable to position
and the party manifests desire t.
reward him for any service he may
have rendered by placing him in Off
cial position, well and good, suct
action we would cordially endorse
But we have said, and have re.iter
ated, that if the Democratic party
desires to be successful in thefuture
as it was in the past, the young mer
who are now coming to the front anc
taking seats at its council fires, mus
ignore the idea of man,following u
the sacrifice ofprinciples-avoid en-
tangling alliances ola personal char
acter, and draw the line strictly be
tween what is supposed to be due thu
individual member from the party
and that which is due the party from
the individual member"

Isaac Bartlett, aged eighty years,
living with Mr.. Carney, relative,
ON Rocky Run, eight miles from LIT;
Teton, was found this morning with
a horrible cash cut across his throat
with a razor which was found with
him. Mr., and Mrs. Carney, on
Thursday last, went away from home
and left the old man at the house,
but on their return that evening
saw that he had changed his clothes,
and supposing he had gone 10 some
of the neighbors for a day or so, as he
was in the habit of doing and never
telling any one where he went, were
not uneasy about him. Mr.. Carney,
ON going to work this morning,
heard a squealing noise at some dis
tance, and going to see what it was
discovered the old man on brush
pile, almost gone. He had probably
been there all night, A doctor was
called to give medical assistance, and
thinks he can probably be saved yet.
Bartlett has been complainingof late
Of his health and about his sons who
emigrated to Kansas last fall.

The apple crop is in fine condition,
and promises well. But one county

unusually heavy yield are very fiat
