running, when Mr.. Hogg, jumped
out to catch him, and fell over a bank
and hurt himself very badly, but we
cannot describe where. Smith then
jumped out and got tangled in the
lines, and was dragged about twenty
yards before relieved. He sustained
a very severe sprain in one Of his feet
and ankles, and will be laid up for
several days. Mr.. Hogg is going
about.
"When you done got dose docks,
please told US all about EN-. Mid
dteport Herald.
Bro. Wise the docks have "done
come, "andare now lying in the mouth
of the beautiful Kanawha. They are
in pretty good condition, and our
people are well pleased with their
bargain. Two steamers are now
waiting to go upon them; and we
hear Of a number more that are max
ing their way here for the same pur-
pose, If the Herald needs caulking
or a new bottom, we are ready to make
all necessary repairs.
1t gives quite a natural look to the
County Court tosee our young friend,
Joe Holloway, behind the Clerks
desk dispatching business as Deputy
Clerk, in his usual happy, swift and
pleasant manner. The man who
happens to be elected County Clerk,
should secure the services Of joe in
the Office.
The RQanc County appeal is mis-
taken; we. did not say Meigs County,
Ohio, had the fastest trotting, pacing
and running horses, but that Mason
County, West Virginia had. Those
who don't believe it, are invited to
bring in their horses.
SulctDE.-0n the 9th inst3 young
man very respectfully connected,
named Robinson, residiniug with
Captain james Morgan, in Union
District, on the Kanawha river, com
mitted suicide by taking arsenic.
Cause, unrequited love. The young
lady is very much Frustrated over
the sad affair, and fears are enter
tanned for her life.
Saturday witnessed good deal of
drunkenness and rowdyism in town.
The boys from the country had just
been paid their harvest money, and
came to town to have a good time.
A few arrests were made, and two of
the disturbors Of the peace are Ian
gushing in the county Jail.
An exchange remarks that there is
an awful, a majestic difference be-
tween the butt end of IL fish pole and
Il hoc.handle to the average boy.
There are some men about these
"diggins" that come within the same
category.
The boys who aro in the habit of
bathing in the Kanawha river, in
front of residences, should stop the
use of indecent and vulgar language.
Complaint has been made to US about
this. We hope the boys will take
our advice, for if they persist in using
vile language, they will be taken be-
fore the Mayor.
Now that the Docks are securely
anchored in the Kanawha, and will
in II few days be put into working
order, and thereby give work to quite
n number of men and boys, it becomes
the duty of every citizen to do what
he can to get it business and to ex-
teud'to the company all the encour-
agement in his power Help to
build up this enterprise.
Too much praise cannot haaccOrd-
ed to the Bank and the owners of the
Docks, for the persistent and energet-
ic manner in wich they fought down
all the opposition of Hudson and his
Middleporters, and carried off the
Docks VIGOROUSLY, and in accordance
with law.
Rev. Hill requests us to say that
he will preach but once in his church
next Sunday, and that services will
commence at l0o'clock, if the congre-
CATION will meet at that time, and
dismiss them by II O'clock. lie will
