SUN.STROKE.

AS the heated term has begun it
would be well for all persons exposed
to the heat of the sun to avoid danger
by observing the following rules.
lsr; TO wear no close fitting hats
the worst are those round, low black
hats, the best are high-crowned white
hats and made Of chip, palm-leaf or
straw, which permit the air to pass
oyer the head freely. N
End; Every morning before going
towork you should place several broad
leaves, such as vine, plantain or dock
in the crown Of your hat, having first
dipt them in cold water, if the heat is
intense, wet the leaves to prevent them
from drying, as in that case they would
became an injury intead Of benefit.
3RD; If harvesting, eat your break
fast at five o'clock in the morning so
as to quit work when the heat has be-
come intense and resume it at say
o'clock in the afternoon.
4TH; Use as little corn juice as pos
sible. If the bottle is kept in SONS
old stump in the outer boundaries of
the field, it will be near enough for use
as medicine in, case of any hand fall
ing down from heat and oyel work.
N. B. This remark is not intended
to encourage frequent fallings.

tory. Every civilized nation gathers
and records facts PERTAINING to its
history. This is the distinguishing
feature between savage and civilized
people, and this is also token of re-
spect for ancestry. 1t is more sought
for as people become moro enlighten
ed. There are many relies in West
Virginia, which taken separately are
valueless, but is combined, give i'm
portant information in reference to
our former history, and for that pur-
pose the society was organized.
West Virginia as State Only ex-
tends 10 years back by its territory,
has history of 100 years. Situated
in the interior OF the continent, SUBJ
ject to the deprcdatlons of savages
and wild beasts. there were many
impediments to proper settlement
At the close of the 10Th century the
Indians were divided into Is tribes,
each of which there We're various
sub-tribes, and they differed in Ian
guagc as the extent of territory they
occupied. For military practice and
government the tribe found within
the limits OF the present State of
West Virginia was far superior to all
others. The vast extent of their do
minion is an evidence of their DOW
er. They have been styled the Ro-
mans of the West. Their character
and intelligence is forcibly nlustrat-
ed by the stand they took in the
Lancaster convention. Thus .hetrac-

Gentle reader, this is no solicited
or paid for puff. We settled our bill
in full, and hence this statement can
be relied on as matter offact, Cap
tain j. X. DUR, Of Morgantown, keeps
the best hotel in the State. If the ac-
commodations at Wheeling hotels are

a FATAL ACCIDENTAL sad and
fatal accident occurred in this city
on last Tuesday evening, which mas
cast gloom over the entire commu-
nifty. Little Jimmie Webb, aged 10
years, son of Rev. j. w. Webb, was
deprived of life under the following
extremely sad circumstances:
He had been playing, with several
associates, in the lumber yard of r.
Shore, in the rear Of the planning
mill. While creeping along pile OF
single planks, about five feet in
height, some other boys being ia and
around it, a portion of the pile was
unintentionally pushed over, falling
on little Jimmie, crushing his breast
in and otherwise mangling him. As
sistance was called and the planks
removed as hastily as possible, but
before being extricated life had de-
parted. The accident occurred but a
short distance from his home, and
his mother was soon acquainted with
the heart-rending affair She arrived
as the body was being removed. Her
anguish we cannot describe. His IA
Their was absent at Hinton, but was
telegraphed and arrived the follow
ing morning. The funeral took place
at 2 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon,
from the M. Z. Church. The grief
stricken parents have the sympathy
of the entire .publie. -H ulstington

IT was the remark of every stran-
ger in Morgantown at the late Com
mencement that they never saw so
many people gathered together, who
looked so universally respectable and
conducted themselves with such pro
priety. No drunkenness-no profan-
ity. Every body had their Sunday
clothes on and their Sunday behavior
too. Good for old Monongalia and
Morgantown, not to say our neighbor-
ing counties and our Pennsylvania
visitors.

The noted infidel Col. Ingersoll lee
tured i'm New York Sunday night TO an
immense crowd. We extract fIom the
New York sta a few sentences from
his lecture:
ssColorel Ingersoll was loudly ap-
plauded throughout the lecture. lie
said the idea of hell was born Of revenge
and brutality on the one size. and cow
ardice on the other. The American
people are too brave and generous TO
believe in the dogma Of eternal punish
ment. lie had no respect for the man
who breaches it. or who tries TO q 70
the sorrows of the world by upholdipg
that lie. He said, II hate, despise and
defy this doctrine. Every religion In
the world is the work of man. and man
existed before books and made books.
If it we've not SO, | might admit the ex-
~istence of an inspired or sacred book.
We are making religion every day. and
the religion of to-day is not the religion
OF 100 years ago; and 100 years hence
the religion of to-day will have TO be
ohangeG-it will have to be .'remOne-
tied before il will be accepted as 4
lega.-tenier. | don't pretend to have
any religion. | believe in living for his
world, in trying to make every one hap
py, and in letting the future take care of
itself; and if ever | touch on the shores
of another world, l will be quite as
ready as any one else to 60 in for some
remunerative employment. [Laughter.)
The doctrine mat because Adam fell all
men are doomed to be damned. is one [
laugh at. Adam lived too long before
nv time to hold me responsible for any
of his little shortcomings.
