FAIRMoNT, April l6.
DR.. d. Mayer, of Charleston, K. w.
Fl. G. K. of the Independent order OF
Foresters of West Virgins, will insti-
tute Court No. 27 in this place tonight.
1t seems that this gentleman is devoting
his life to charity. He left his home
three weeks ago to work for the good OF
this order, and is succeeding admirably.
1t Is known by those who understand the
workings OF this order that DR.. Mayer
realizes nothing for bis labor, but simply
works for the benefit OF suffering hu'
manity.
Before closing | must tell q good joke
on DR.. MAYER. On his arrival at this
place he went to the telegraph office 10
send a dispatch TO Charleston, his home.
The operator asked him where Charleston
was located. After being informed he
inquired if there was 3 telegraph office.
The Doctor became very indignant and
said, "Sir, are you so ignorant that you
do not know where Charleston, the
Capital of West Virginia is located?'
The operator had TO telegraph to Grafton
for the rates, and said dispatch was sent
TO Charleston via Cincinnati.
The Circuit Court, Judge A. Brook:
Fleming presiding, meets here on Thurs
dgv next. Judge Fleming has the con-
fdence of the people and the bar IN thu;
district, and doubtless will make mos
excellent Judge.
| am stopping at the COntlneuta
House, kept by Mr.. Lsmly, who does al
in his power to please his guests.

TIE SENATE RESUMPTION BILL.


We have heretofore printed the sub
stance OF the bill which the Finance Com
mi..ee Of the Senate hiss substituted for
the House bill repeating portion Of the
resumption act, but as the measure was
brought into the Senate yesterday, we re-
print it in full. One of the chief fest
urc. oithe bill Is the reversal of the policy
o. the government towards its own paper
he grceubacks. 1t directs that hence
f rth grosnbacks hall be accepted for the
GoIr per cent. bonds at par; and that
a ter the first OF October next lit should
have been on and after the passage OF
tn bill they Shall be received for Gus
toms duties. Another important feature
is, Tia. greoubacks shall not be destroyed
alter they have once been redeemed, but
thy shall be reIssued and kept in circu.
lsti0n. No further contraction, there
io7r, will be possible in this direction.
Resumption i coming, as 1t was bound
10 come, by the operations Of trade and
the Irresistible logic of events, and not
By legislative coercion. When i. comes
in this wsy, it will come to stay. Re-
sumption in any other way would be q
lis and n deiunon.

WORD comes from Washington that

Tue Bulletin OF the American Iron
and Steel ASSOCIATION gives an exhaustive
summing IN of the iron business for the
year 1877. The total production of pig
iron for that year WAS 2,314,5S5 tons, q
gam of z2l,3 tons over 1876. The
largest production over reached was that
Of 1873, which was SG9, 87S tons. Thlr-
ty-four new blast furnaces were put up
during the time mentioned, and at the
close Of December las. there were 27O
furnaces in blast and 44G standing idle.

fo-e and although there was a large
Increase in sales, the manufacture rs made
little or nothing.

to spend pretty much as they splease. The

lies through saving something of what is
