Editors Ncty Dominior--
Perhaps neither you nor your
many readers are aware that on the
beautiful stream of White Day, in
the christian county OF old Mononga-
lia, there still fingers a miserable
remnant Of that wild, bloody and
vlndictive spirit that characterized
the North American Indian and
their immediate successors-our half
civilized ancestors-yet such Is tho
lamehtable fact. Two families, each
consisting of "big ingin" squaws and
pappooses, degenerate descendants
of illustrious tribes who have long
since gone to the happy hunting
grounds-pitiful "liggers" who can
only ape their fallen braves--who
rigidly observe the .scorn dance''and
occasionally feel for scalp. More
than year ago these parties dug up
the Ratchet and took the war-path,
but nothing of serious nature took
place until the morning of the 10Th
inst. when the decisive battle was
fought described by distant OBJ
server rs grandly terrific. a regular
pettico,t Hopping and bloody head
skedaddle. The squaws of the "big
iugin' of the upper wigwam opened
the fight in grand style,but after dis
charging few missiles fell back and
raised the war cry of their tribe,
when their "big ingin" came up and
renewed the battle with redoubled
fury, and for time IL looked like
the "big ingin" from the lower wig
wan and his brave little pappooses
would have to sing their death song,
but white leading on his valisnt
baud the "big ingin," Roaring Bill
received scckdolleger on the top
knot that sent him to grass. When
Swamp Fox -namesake of the Illus
trious partzan of revolutionary
memory-brandished his knife and
reached for the scalp-lock of the fall
en- chief, things looked squally for
Bill, when Pet, onc Of tho petticoat
reserves, sailed in with her war club
and compelled the Fox to desist from
his bloody purpose. His squaw,
however, pealcd forth the war cry Of
her tribe--the crow Of bantam
chanticler which seemed to strike
terror to the hearts Of Roaring Bill
and his party, who Withdrew from
the fight and, waving the bloody
shirt, sought the aid of the great fa-
Their at Smithtowu Squire Wilson
who held Swamp Fox to answer
to the court in September next, and
Roaring Bill and his daughter Han
to keep the peace TOR nine months.
Everything seems quiet at present,
but Us they have not yet washed off
the war paint. we may expect I'm
outbreak nj any moment.

OBITUARY..


VIM. S. T. Eakin died at the resi-
dencc of his parents in Granville July
the 18th in the Oath year of his age.
His disease was consumption. He
suffered for months and bore his af-
Fiction with great fortitude. A few
minutes before he died he spoke to
his father and mother and said,
"Jesus has forgiven all my sins" and
told them to come to Jesus and be
saved. Sweet Jesus; Glory. Glory!
He told all the family to come to Jes-
us and be saved. He bid us all fare
well one by one and finally said fare
we'll to all and expired without a
struggle.
How blest the righteous when he dies,
When sinks weary soul To rest
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heaves the expiring
breast.
$50 fades summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are 'er,
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies wave along the shore.
A holy quiet reigns around,
A calm which life or death destroys,
Nothing disturbs that peace profound,
Which his unfettered soul enjoys"

A MAN was seen coming out of q
newspaper office with one eye gouged
out, and his nose spread out over his
face like piece of raw beef, and one
of his ears chawod Off TO an officer
who had interviewed him, he replied:
Il didn't like an article that 'pcared
in the paper last week, an ] went in
ter see the man who had writ it. He
was thar. stranger. "-Er.
That man acted very indiscreetly,
he ought to have just threatened a
lawsuit and sent an attorney to notify
the Editor, and he would have rctract-
ed (?) like little man.

THE Brass Band appeared on the
street last Tuesday evening and dis
coursed some excellent music, q la
Kramer. The Band disbanded few
weeks since and reorganized under
the leadership Of James Winger, who
is an excellent musician, and it now
bids fair to be the best band we have
ever had in our town.

The sRed Men, made raid on
old Thornton f. Cartright's whisky
ranch, about two and half miles
above Warrington, on last Saturday
night ard cleaned the whole "shc
bang" Forty-two of the ''braves"-
all masked-visited the building
where the s'ardent" and two jars OF
candy were kept, about midnight, de-
manded admittance Of VIM. Snodgnss,
Cartright's son-in-law, who runs the
''gin-mill," and upon being refused,
they opened fire upon the house, sew
real bullets striking the bed, one graz
ing Snodgrass' hip. They destroyed
the contents of the house. and then de-
molished it even to the foundation
stones. The raiders also fired eleven
shots into the windows, etc, of Cart
rights house, which is but a short dis
lance from where the ssdeadfall'' stood.
We respectfully suggest to the "Rcd
men, that 1t might be well to "look a
leetle out" for while they are doing
good thing in abating nuisancs
they are themselves violating the law
and that the only reason the individu
al participants are not known is be
because no person has yet tried te
find them out.--Eairmont Inder.

The RAIN.-The rains Of the last
few days have been received with graf
itude by swcltering humanity. For
several weeks the dry weather prevail
ed to a great extent in this section
and has injured the corn crop very
seriously. But there is bountifnl
supply of every thing else and no rea-
son to complain. The recent showers
have revived the gardens, cooled the
over-heated atmosphere and refreshed
things generally.

MASTER EDDY SNYDER, son of Jas.
F. Snidcr, fell from a cross bar upon
which he was performing, one day
last week, and broke his collar bone.
He was not conscious of the extent of
his injuries for several days and suf-
fered much pain without knowing its
real cause. On Saturday his father
discovered what was wrong and sum
moned medical aid, when the injured
boy. was given proper attention. He
is recovering.

lican party has always been to favor
the few at the expense of the masses
ofthc people, and that all their lcgisla-
tive enactments have tended directly
or indirectly to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, and that the
present deplorable financial condi-
ton of the country and the suffering
of the masses are owing to their un-
wise and iniquitous legislation.
4th. That the depression and hard
ships of the manufacturing and farm
ing interests of the country were
brought about by the forced contrae-
ton of the currency of the country,
which was done in the interest of the
bondholders.
9th. That the premature passage
Of the Resumption Act was unjust to
the masses of the people and was an
act of bad faith on the part of the
government.
9th. That if the paper currency or
treasury notes known as greenbacks
are good enough for the laboring man
they are good enough for the bond
holders, and we are in favor of max
ing them legal tender for all pur-
poses and they should be received in
payment for all duties and for interest
on the public debt.
7th. We are in favor Of substitute
ing greenbacks for the National Bank
currency, by paying off the United
States bonds held by such banks
thus an interest bearing debt would
eb converted into q Neutrality-suspicious.
ing debt and millions of dollars would
be saved to the country.
Sth. We believe that all property
of the citizens of the several states
should be subject alike to taxation
and the bondholder should not be ex-
empt from any part of the burden.
9th. We are in favor of maintain
ing an efficient and economical sys-
TEN of free schools.
10th. We do not recognize any just
or legal claim on the State of West
Virginia for the payment of any por
ton of the State debt of Virginia.
1lth. The primary election of the
so called Union Republican party of
Monongalia county is held in the in
terest of few politicians who have
no political principles and is contin-
ucd only for the purpose of perpetu-
ating their ascendency in power in
this county. 1t is governed and con
trolled by rings and tricksters, is n
hindrance to good government and
we advise all honest men and good
citizens to stand aloof from it.
Hon. John j. Brown offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was unani-
mously:
Resolced, That we are opposed to
the present tardy and costly admin
istration of the law by the county
court of this county, and will heartily
endorse any lawful means to secure a
more speedy and cheaper administra-
ton ofjustice in said court, either by
making the present system more eff
licient, or if that cannot be done,
then the system should be abolished
and something substituted in its
stead, which will meet the demands
Of the times and the wishes of the
people.
On motion the following resolution
was adopted:
Resoleed, That we heartily en-
dorse the acts Of our able and eff
cient Senators and Representatives in
the last Congress of the United States
and should Hon. B. +. Martin, our
present Representative in Congress,
be selected as our standard bearer at
Key ser on the 18th OF August next,
we will chcerfully support and elect
him.
