the reporter. "Let's see the thing
through" cried Exley, and the three
horsemen filed slowly and silently down
the road. Not q word was spoken until
the store st Short Creek came ID sight'
and then somebody remarked In sepuI-
chral tones:
Three wise men OF Wheeling went 10
sea in bowl.
IL the bowl had been stronger my story u
been longer"
When the half frozen party dismount-
ed at the store they could not walk on
account of numbness. One Of them sat
down without mis- desires being consulted
in the matter, and after feeling OF his
lower extremeties, he remarked that che
did not believe those legs were his be-
cause he didn't feel any pain when he
pinched them" Mr.. 10. b. Wilson was
aroused and soon the three sesrchefs
sfter drowned railroad men were feeling
the heat of a good fire. Mr.. Wilson said
that the story was false, fer Coyle had
been in the store late that evening, ana
that members of the different gangs OF
men had been in and out Of the place all
the carly part of the night and nothing
had been said about it. As this was IN
Brooke county, and the Squire had no
jurisdiction in case there, and as the
reporter was convinced that the story
was sll untrue, the weary horsemen re-
turned to Wheeling, where they arrived
at one o'clock.
The REGISTER man desires 10 compli-
ment the hteiLigeneer on their blood
curdling account of the affair, which will
undoubtedly be read with interest by
those whom it insisted on drowning.
The Standard, with that spirit OF enter
PRISE which charscterizes it, should also
be proud of It's boiling down OF the Intel
llgeneer'S report.

Lenten Pastoral.
Editor OF the Register:

Editor oil the Register
Permit me to call your attention TO
several changes and omissions which l
haye noticed in your published version OF
nv Lenten Pastoral. In the section on
marriage, you substituted the word "cere-
mony" tor sermon" ave direct the
Rev. Clergy to read, instead of the usual
sermon" &c. In the following section on
Intempersnce, you run two sentences to-
gether, emitting portions of both. The
passages should read thus 1t (intemper-
snce) robs its victim Of his charac-
ter, his happiness, his resson-sye. and OF
his conscience. II robs his family OF
eyery domestic and social comfort" l
psss over several minor errats.
In the Regulations for Lent, published
in Mondays RgGIsTER, the substitution
of the letter Sr" for the letter az essen
tally alters one of the dispensstions
granted. No 6 should read: Fish and
fssh mot trssh) meat are not permitted
a. the same meal" Another mistake,
but no, OF your making, occurs IN No. 4.
In the last line of that number Tues
dsy" should read Thursday" "Meat is
not permitted on Thursday and Sstur-
day Of Holy Week"

thus furnished to reviving industry and expand
