Correspondence OF the Register.
The farmers report that the tru IN
this section has not been injured, and
it no further damage il done to 1t We
will have good fruit year. The wheat
il looking well. AS general thing the
farmers are backward with their work.
The Davis Guards are making extra
efforts 10 have some more OF their men
uniformed, bat times are so hard out
here that it seems TO be very difficult for
the boys to raise the money. Mcst OF
the boys work in the coal mines, and as
there Is little or no work being done
now, their cash is cut OF. Should the
coal business open up this summer the
company would soon have sixty men.
1t is reported here that the Red Men
have given William Conway, the
gentleman at whose house Geo.
Wallace stayed the night OF
the murder, notice to leave
We.zel county, but hope it isn't true.
Mr.. Conway Was once citizen OF TINS
county, and is well known to our citl-
zens. There seems to be some little dis
satisfaction about the manner in which
he gave in his evidence on the trial Of
Wallace, Some think he was little too
much interested, but suppose the facts
are that Mr.. Conway felt confident that
Wallace was innocent, and did not wish
TO see him punished.
There are now two hundred and fifteen
students aLtendin & our Normal school
most o! them nOn-psylng pupils. The
two thousand dollars appropriated to
the school is insufficient to instruct
that number, without doing a great
amount of over work, which is now being
done by the principal and assistants, and
the appropriation of next winter should
be so that the school receive three and a
half dollars for each pupil in attend
snce, ana not limit the total amount to
be received as was done last winter.
There was railroad meeting an
nounced to take place in Worthing-
ton On last Saturday, but oil &C.
count OF some misunderstanding
no speakers were present, ard to that ex
tent the meeting was failure. There
WAS good crowd present, and l hope
their coming together inspired them with
renewed determination TO assist in build
ing the proposed railroad. There is
grand mass railroad meeting advertised
TO take place in the court house IN tots
place on the 18th instant, the first day of
the Circuit Court, at which time Messrs.
Hayes and Miller the President and
Secretary of Pitts burgh, Castle Shannon
and Washington road will certainly be
present. a large crowd is expected, rs
the people are alive to the railroad in
terest
DR.. Arnold, assisted by Prof. Gilbert,
gave entertainments in the Town Hall
in this place on last Saturday and Mon
day evenings, also matinee on Monday
afternoon, all of winch were well attend
ed, and the performance enjoyed to a
wonderful degree. ALI. Burnett was, for
a long time, the favorite OF our
people, but he is now completely
sdpplanted by DR.. Arnold, and
raay as well, so far as this town is con-
cerncd, retire on his lsurels. The Doc
tors singing is wonderful, and his de-
lineation OF character surpssses Burnett.
Prof. Gilbert is the best ventriCQulsL that
ever visited the place. and will rank
nigh with the best IN the country. The
performance on Monday evening was
enlivened by the Doctor presenting ring
to the prettiest lady present, and
a hat to the ugliest gentleman. After
experiencing some difficulty in deciding,
as ne said, who was the prettlest lady
present, be finally gave the ring to Miss
Emma Black, and the selection is uri-
versally acknowledged to be good. The
hat was presented to MIR. Dick Miller,
but many ladies very bitterly deny that
Dick wat the uglies! gentleman present.
