that efforts are being made by many
prominent citizens of this State to hold
State Agricultural Fair at Wheeling
sometime during next Fall, and that &C
tive preparations are being made for
that purpose. We heartily endorse the
project, believing that much good can
be accomplished among the farming
community of our State. The city of
Wheeling will be much more accessible
as 10 accommodations, attractiveness,
and railroad facilities, than any other in
the State, and we trust that the move
ment will be pushed forward at once,
in order to make it grand success.

Our community was startleu last SUI
day morning by the news OF fatal
shooting ARRAY that occurred hear.
Smoketown, in this county, last Satnr-
day evening. 1t will be remembered
that about two months ago Mr.. Jno. A.
File was charged by his neighbor, Mr..
j. Noffsinger, with the crime OF poison
ing the water in his well, by which he
lost two horses. The case was tried
and Mr.. File was acquitted wholly of
the crime. = Ever siuce that affair bad
blood has existed between Mr.. File and
MIR. Nofsinger. On Saturday evening
both were in Martinsburg. File started
for. home about5 o'clock, being on
horseback, taking the road by way of
Schoppert's Ford. A MALT hour after,
Nofsinger started home by the same
road, riding in no-top buggy. On
the top of the hill, near the residence OF
Mr.. Samuel Miller, Notfsinger overlook
File. AS soon as they came together
an alteration ensued, hard words pass
ing between them. Noffsinger had
reached the foot of The hill, and at
point in the road, where only one vehi-
Gle could pass, presumably necessitating
File to fall in the rear. just as this oc-
Cured pistol shot was fired. and Notf
singer pitched forward over his buggy
wheel, and few steps further on fell
out upon the side of the road. AS soon
as Noffsinger had fallen, File rode to
the negro cabin, located within few
yards OF the point Of the shooting, and
told the occupants that he had shot
Notfsinger ami they had better go to
him and take care of him. He then
rode back to Mr.. Samuel Millers, and
informed him of the shooting, and then
went on TO Mr.. Jacob Miller's residence.
Mrs. Miller started Immediately to the
assistance of the wounded man, and
found him resting on rock near where
he had fallen. The blood was stream
ing from wound in the back of his
head. The lady, with the assistance of
a colored woman, conducted Noffsinger
10 the negro cabin, where his head was
bandaged and he was made as comforta-
bic as circumstances permitted. He
expressed desire to be sent home, and
as soon as his horse was caught he was
taken there. his family having in the
meantime arrived. lie was shot about
halt past five o'clock, and he died at
fifteen minutes after nine. DR.. n. d.
Baker was sent for Immediately. but
did not arrive until few moments be
fore NoffSinger's death. An inquest
was held on Sunday, composed Of the
following gentlemen:-A. S. Chambers,
Coroner; +. b. lIamil!, Foreman; Geo.
a. Smith, Geo. Buxton, VIM. Rutledge,
g. d. Blocher, Geo. +. Evans, Geo.
Wild, VIM. Wilen, VIM. kantner,
Charles Hollis, Thomas Russler, James
Geyer, and the following verdict was
rendered: Jeremiah Noffsinger came
to his death by pistol shot wound in
the hands of John A. File"
Mr. File came to town on Sunday
morning and gave himself into the
hands of the authorities, and he is now
in Jail awaiting the action of the grand
jury.
The body of Mr.. Noffsinger was re-
moved to Pennsylvania, near Carlisle,

1t is barely possible that my circum-
stances may be such within week as
TO justify NEIL leaving my work. In
that event 1 shall duly notify you of
my coming, by postal or telegram.
BE assured, however, that if am not
present in person l shall be in spirit,

Uhy He Never Wore a Collar.

1t was fact observed by many that
Governor Briggs for several years before
his death never wore a collar When he
was the honored chief magistrate Of Mas
sachusetts, he appeared at his levees and
public occasions without a collar There
were comparatively few who knew the rea.
son Of this. But the secret ia more inter-
esting and suggestive. lie had neigh
Dor, whom he very highly esteemed, who
had fallen into the habit Of using intoxi-
eating liquor he was already the slave
ofappetite. Governor Briggs demonstrated
with him. The man replied, IL will never
drink again, if you will never again wear
q collar" Agreed" said the governor.
The man gave up the intoxicating CUP, and
the governor laid aside his collar. BE
never wore 1t again, but 'he saved his
neighbor The adverse criticisms, to which
this seeming lack Of attention to his dress
and personal appearance exposed him new.
er moved him from his purpose.
