THE West Virginia Presbytery will
convene at Buckhannon on Friday, May
3rd.
JOHN BRoGAN, a peddler, hailing from
Clsr burg, was arrested on Saturday, IL
Cumberland, Md, on q charge of passing
counterfeit money, and was pat under
$1,000 bail.
ANOTHER boy heard from. 1t was s
seven-shooter that he carried in his pants
pocket, and when it went of the bal
passed through his knee. He lived il
Washington, Pc, and his name was

"PHILoCRIsTUs; or the Mentors Of 6
Disciple Of the Lord" is book that has
just been reprinted. 1t purpOrts 70 be
the autobiography Of one Joseph Of Sep,
phoris, who was converted by Jesus, and
who followed Him through all his earthly
life, devotedly. 1t is kind Ct fifth Cos
pei and re.enforces the testimony of the
other Evan gelists. The book will nc
doubt be much sought after.
SHOULD Tilton's suit against Beecher
for damages be brought to trial, the Co~r-
ier-JOwr1,aL says the proceedings should
be conducted in the bottom Of the deep
EST celer in Brooklyn, with every door
and hatchway closely battened down and
no telephones or newspaper reporters
should be permitted entrance. In this
way it is possible that the public morali-
ty will not be undermined and the &C
cursed mass Of putridity may be buried
and suppressed with reasonable assur-
ance that 1t may not be generally redis-
tributed throughout the upper world.
A VERMONT clergyman, who used to
live in Louisiana, tells this story OF q
former parishioner of his, the somewhat
notorious j. Madison Wells: One day
Wells said to him, Mr.. -, should
come to hear you preach oitener, but
every time l come you preach personal
sermon, and do not like 20 be attacked
IN that way every time l attend church"
To this the reply was: MAJOR, you are
so seldom at church that l could not
know when to prepare sermon personal
TO your case, and that relieves me from
your accusation. Blu. the truth is,
Major, it would be hard for a clergyman
to preach a sermon sgsinst any sin for
hidden IN the decslogue, and not make it
q sermon that you might think was in
tended for you personally"
G. w. ATKINSON, Esq, is q great tenn
peranCe worker among the Wheelingites.
Why don't he try his hand on the I,lteLH-
ge,eer fellow, who said last Sunday was
Decentralization Courier.
WE are satisfied thst desperate crimes
require desperate remedies, and we would
not therefore, hesitate TO spprove of the
lynching of government officials, who
steal the hard earnings of the people,

REV. J. G. ARMSTRONG, the eminent
and eloquent Episcopal minister Of
Wheeling, has accepted call extended
to him from Richmond, Va. West Vir-
ginia loses one Of her most eloquent men,
and his place will be hard to FILL

In Wetzel murder is capital Otfense.
He who commits it must suffer the con-
sequences. If outlaws from other counties
murder our citizens, we mean to hang
them if land in consequence is reduced
IN price to ten cents per acre, and we are
given over to the tender mercies Of the
world, the flesh and the devil-NeiO

ALWAYS Keep q Smile Tor Mother"
is the latest sentimental song published
always keep a smile for mother,
Do not drain the festive Jug;
Leave enough, somehow or other,
Just to moiSten her old mug.
Touch il lightly, leave some in il.
Just swallow-that's the style;
What you'd drink in halt minute
Is enough for mothers smile"

neer, will be here on Monday to locate

Washington Reporter.
We lesrn that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company are now expert
menung with their Dsniorth locomotives
in drawing passenger trains over the
third division. 1t has been the custom
to use two Perkins locomotives at Pied
mont in drawing the passenger trains PIP
TO Altsmont. Here one of them, the
helper, leaves the train, which proceeds
TO the Cheat river grade st Gran berry
Summit, when another helper is attached
to the train. TIE purpose of the CON-
psny is to abolish the helper by using
one Danforth engine, having three
drawing wheels. An engine has been
fitted with two sets of air brakes st the
Piedmont shops, and few changes made
in its construction, whereby the speed of
the engine may be lncreased.-OakLand
