AUTuMN.-An exchange says the
pleasant season of the year is now
with US. The Summers heat is not
yet gone nor the cold breath of Win,
ter yet come. 1t is the happy and
delightful medium in which it seems
we could rest forever. The languid
feeling leaves us, and the merton Of
Summer gives way to the briskness
inspired by the bracing air of Au-
tumn time. The. days that crown
the Summers end, and halt upon the
brink of Winter, are heralded by
some as the hours of melancholy, and
only fit for griefs and mourning
However symbolical of human decay
and sorrow, the drying verdure of
earth may be, it is not necessary to
educate ourselves in accord with the
instructions that would make US
mourntul at this season OF the year.
If we have gricfs and sorrows, they
are best kept to ourselves. The
world cares little about them; it pit
les but does not sympathize, Glad
ness and joy in Autumn is just as
proper, We judge, as at any other sea-
son of the year. The season presents
Ia feature of nature that cannot be
equalled by the soft sky of summor or
the vivid greenness of yerdure. II is
season eminently fit for the study
Of scenery, outline Of woods, and col
ors of most fantastic hue, or US
Thompson better says:
''But see the fading many colorcd woods,
Shade deep'ning over shade, the country
Imbrown; crowded umbrage, dusk aud dun,
OF every hue, from wan declining green

New BRANCH OF INDusTRY.-Build.
ers are most interested in the exhibit
of Messrs. A. Northrop 4 Co., who
have a small building erected on the
south side of the main floor, short
distance from main entrance, for a
display of their patent sheet iron
roofing and 'drip-crimped sheet iron
siding" Persons who contemplate
the construction Of dwelling, or
who desire to have u, 6reand water
proof roof placed on buildings Ill
ready erected, should BY all means,
call around at the exhibit made in
the Exposition building and examine
the great improvement oyerold styles.
1t is here shown how perfectly it
protects a building from fire. The
material for the siding is erimped in
panels about six inches, vide, and so
made that the upper part of the
crimp forms a drip.edge that covers
and protects the nailipgsi allowing
also for the free expansion and con-
traction of the metal. The sheets
are eight feet long, the panels run
ming lengthwise, and are to be nail
ed on the sheeting or studling, max
ing u wind.tight job, understanding
the patent board siding.
The roofing is SO constructed that
it can be put on to u roof without a
nail hole or riyet being used in a
sheet, and any one Of fair mechani-
cal ability can put.it on, each sheet
being fastened separately and indie
pendent of each other,
This kind of roofing is really the
best invention of the kind ever in
troduced, being we'll suited for cover
ing any building, be it mill, factory,
store or dwelling. 1t is something
new in these parts, but will not
long remain So, as architects specify
it and builders recotnnoAa il as the
best thing out, aud the time is not
far distant when this system ofcover-
ing will be universally adopted.
Property owners will find it the
cheapest and most durable covering
for dwelling houses to be found any
where, being easily placed on either
old or new buildings at less cost than
the old styles of roofing. The say
ing in insurance, owing to the per-
feet safety from outside fire, the
burning Of chimneys, &c, is an ad-
vantage well worthy Of considerations
It should be born in mind that
Messrs. A. Northrop & Co., are the
sole proprietors Of the roofing and
siding and in its manufacture, the
best of cold rolled iron is used.
They are prepared to furnish it in
any quantity at prices that defy
competition. Building contractors
find it a very necessary article and
prefer Northrop's to any other kind.

AcQUITTED.-The case Of the State
VS.. VIM. Anderson, indicted for ar
son, was tried at this term of the
Circuit Court. The trial was com
menced Monday and given to the
jury Tuesday morning, who in a
short time returneda verdict of mot
guilty" During the trial, every
thing went to show that there was a
deep laid plot on the part of the
prosecuting witnesses to convict,
disgrace and ruin an innocent man.
The principal witnesses against him
were three parties who had commit
ted the CRIME and then turned States
evidence to save themselves from
conviction. The verdict of the jury
received the commentator of all
who had watched the progress of the
trial. His attorneys were Messrs.
Fisher & Hogg and F. A. Polsley.

Parsons, of Red House, that on Sun
day evening last, Richard Priestly

named Andrew Murphy. A dis

Murphy refused to cut, and which
Mr., Priestly desired to put in wheat
One word brought on another when
Murphy drew a revolver and fred
two shots, one taking effect in the
left shoulder and the other in the
neck. Murphy escaped and up to
this writing has not been captured.
HEAVY CArTLE,-The Morgantown
Post claims that Monongalia county
is still ahead in point Of heavy cat
tie. 1t says: "Messrs. Lazzell report
five yearlings, Of their own breeding,
weighed September Both, that avera-
ged 800 pounds-65 pounds more
than Mr.. Watson's, heretofore report
ed in the Post. They average little
less than fifteen months old. The
heaviest, 16 months old, weighed
1,0S5 pounds; one l24 months old,
SG5 pounds. They are not fat, and
have short grass and no grain. They
also have some heifers u little past -
months old, that average 100 pounds.
One calf, sold at nine months old,
weighed 100 pounds, Two calves, 81
and 5! months old, weighed 415 and
563 pounds. One hundred and six
three-year-old steers average over
1900 pounds, and sixty Of these
average over 1,400 pounds. This is
the best showing Of heavy weights
ever made by any stock raisers in
this county," says the Post, sand we
hereby challenge any stock raiser in
this or Marion county, or in the
State, to beat it. The facts and fig
ures' are accurate in every respect
We now place the Lazzells ahead Of
all, and we believe they will main
tain their present status as the lead
ing cattle raisersof the State.-lnder.
The Post may brag as much as it
pleases, but still Monongalia cattle
can't come up to the cattle grazed in
Mason county.

The boys in our town have con-
tracted the baneful habit of chewing
and smoking tobacco. II is a luxury
that does them no good, and one4hey
will regret as they grow older. It
takes a large sum Of money annual.
ly to pay for the tobacco and cigars
they use, and if they continue on in
the habit, will result disastrously to
them. The money they annually
spend in this way would keep them
in clothes, or, if saved, would in a
few years, enable them to start in
business for themselves. Quit it
boys, now while you can.

Not Half Over Yet.

The fun of the late impeachment farce. it
seems. is likely just now to begin. The real
thing itself was unavoidably very amusing,
but well-known writer of humorous and
burlesque productions has taken hold of it
and condensed the comedy into the form and
compass of an extremely lively little play,
which, if desired, can at once be placed on the
stage without any further change or adapta-
ton. The author entities his performance.
The High Old Court of Impeachment, OF s.As
good as play in three acts, by p. e. r.
Simmons. This title is suggestive of broad
wealth of fun and humor, and we are yery
much mistaken in both the author and his
subject if public anticipation of something
very amusing and instructing is disappoint-
ed. The work is now in course of publica-
ton in pamphlet form, with comic fronts
piece, and will be issued by the 18th inst. It's
dedication is significant: sWho laughs
last, laughs best;'' and, as the tax
payers of Minnesota are like to be the last
to laugh at the proceedings of the 'shigh old
court, to them this little comedy is respect
fully dedicated When issued, we shall
take pains to give more extended notice of
the young drama. which we believe is the
first original production of the kind, the
author and subject of which are strictly APP
purtenant to Minnesota.
