WHEELING, w. Va, Dec 9.-Information

death of w. c. Barber, caused by freezing
in a snow storm in the mountains of the
southeastern part of the State.
Barber in company with five other gen.
tlemen, who composed hunting party
travelling through Greenbriar County, were
passing Cold Knob with wagon and team
when the party noticed bear trail in the
snow. Barber dismounted from the wagon
and started in pursuit of the bear with two
faithful dogs
The trail was followed all day Tuesday,
and Wednesday Barbers companions, who
remained behind, became somewhat
alarmed at his prolonged absence and
started in search of him. The day was
spent in following the zigzag the bear and
man had gone.
The pursuers continued in their search
but did not find Barber until late Thursday
evening When found the body was frozen
stiff life having apparently passed away
without struggle. A faithful dog was
beside the body

THE Fishery Troubles.

Now that society Is proiting by one OF
the most benefcent inventions Of the age
the art Of fish-culture-it is the general in.
terest, as it is the duty OF Government, to
take care that nothing shallimpair the bless
ings it is about to bestow upon mankind.
The whole population should rise up against
any custom by which for the advantage OF a
few individuals resembling piracy IN
their invasions Of peace and the general
good-the public beaefit shall be impaired
and obstructed.
We hold this to be eminently important
as well as just. Fisb-culture promises an
amount OF good to man the like OF which
we have not seen flow from any ether single
measure Of improvement that has been
known in our day. No obstacle should be
permitted to stand in its way. And yet it
is known to all men acquainted with the
subject that the modern seines that arc set
across the waters, there to remain perma
nently, iutercepting fish in their passage, are
forestalIing the inhabitants OF all the princl-
pal rivers in the land, depriving them OF
their Just participation in one OF the choicest
gifts of Divine Providence. This waylay-
ing OF the fish is social outrage which no
faithful government, Justly sensible OF its
duty to protect the people, should permit.
We lay down this proposition as one that
we think to be Just. No seines ought to be
set in the rivers. None ought to be per-
United to obstruct the passage OF fish. The
privilege OF shau-seines" should be gen
eral, with the provision that even those
seines should not be allowed in the rivers
at certain seasons and on particular days in
the week. No man should be allowed to
set seine across the main current, there to
remain, intercepting the fish that are the
common property and that all the inhab-
itants or the river shores should have
chance to take in their unobstructed pass.
age up the stream.
The owners OF the pound and purse-nets
catering for great populations anchor their
vessels sy the side of their seines, and, cap
turing the great body Of the desirable fish,
bear them away from the people who are
above all entitled to them: those who live
upon the rivers and are citizens of the State
possessing the power of eminent domain
over those rivers.
The owners of these immensely destruc-
tive seines should be Inhibited from their
trade, which outrages the rights OF the citi-
zens and impairs most seriously one Of the
greatest blessings which these times have
Youchsafcd to man. The issue must be
against the setting Of any seines in the riv-
crs Of the. Commonwealth -seines that
stand across the current for days. or even
hours. That is the true remedy, and the
whole State ought to combine to make it
efiectual.

West and South.

The "snobbery of eastern editor ial
railers ut the combination OF the South and
West shows itself to very great disadvan-
taee when 1t cites the national measures
which this combination has succeeded in
maturing. These measures illustrate the
exceeding wisdom and beneicence OF this
combination. The silver reconciliation
is alone sufficient to surround the combina-
ton with halo OF distinction as one for
the national good and happiness. "Suob-
berry" is merely devotion to class and
to narrow interests. 1t cannot see things
in comprehensive light. We have been
struck with the display OF provinclallSm
that has been made by some so-called great
papers in the North that have been unable
to sec beyond their noses, or get beyond
the ideas Of the narrow-minded blockheads
who rule the gambling gold and stock
boards around the corner in Gotham.
These snobs, by railing at the combina-
tion of East and West to take the nation
from beneath the influence of the New
York gamblers in finance, only strengthen
it and help more efectually to liberate the
land from the authors Of such fearful disas-
tiers as have been contrived By the unprinci-
pied gamblers OF Wall street-such, for in
stance, as that OF the ss Black Friday" which
was the work of bad men, who used in good
degree the means of the commercial world
placed in their custody to infict upon the
whole country calamity in which thou
sand innocent persons were ruined.
The East must learn that 1T has not the
world in a sling, and that all wisdom and
all honesty are not confined to that section
Of the Union. 1t must learn that snobbery
is not intelligence and sel6shness not hui
manity and justice. These lessons it is now
purchasing at very high price, and will
not forget them soon. AS the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
"Neither culture, nor refinement, nor
virtue, nor wealth, is the exclusive posses
sion CT the people Of any one part or Sec
ton OF this country. BY the genius Of our
institutions, by the enterprise and industry
OF our people, none Of those desirable
things is confined anywhere to u select few !;
and the snob who asserts or intimates any
thing to the contrary should be the first VIC
tim Of the fool-killer." "

SamplfnS Bright Wrappers i'm Rich
Ynond.
From Correspondent of the Tobacco News.J
RICHMOND, April 8, 1878.
Your CORRESPONDENT, while on 'Change
to-day, had his attention several times called
to the editorial in the last issue Of the To-
bacco Ners, wherein you depict supposed
evils as to our mode Of Sampting bright
tobuccos. The warehouse.men here are a
little nettled. Without venturing an opin-
ion, let us look at the facts in the case. The
regulations OF the trade require each pack
age, however small, to be broken in four
places, and one fake Of the sample to be
made up from bundles around the corners.
Further, all samples are guaranteed.
+ The inspectors of one OF the largest ware
houses in the city informed your CORE
spondent that the regulations are rigidly
carried out by them, and while the trade
hold them responsible for correspondence
Of sample with package from whence
drawn, that they have not in the last twelve
months had a single complaint OF any pack
age OF bright tobacco sampled by them, and
they take it for granted if he sampling was
rs your editorial surmises they would have
had complaints for reclamation by the hun
bred.
OF course, in inferior crops like these
grown the past three years, the tobacco is
badly mixed in the package, but the sam
pie shows the different kinds as well as can
be shown by sample without any effort on
the part OF the sampler to apportion it,
which, OF course, he has no right to do
that should be the business OF the planter.
Hence we draw the conclusion that the
buyer should make his own allowance when
he buys mixture. He makes his purchases
with his eyes open, and il he gets stuck he
misunderstands bis calisg, and therefore
has no one to blame for his own want Of
good judgment.
An old inspector to-day asserted in the
presence OF your humble servant that there
had been fewer complaints in this market in
reference to the sampling OF tobacco within
the past two years than in any tobacco mar
ket in this country. "A manufacturer who
is a large buyer said: 81 have no fault in
the world to find with the mode OF sampling
that has existed for the past year. You
know the method is entirely different from
what it used to be-" ~
