THERE is small dog over at Nor
gantown in the New DOMINION office
that INDUCES himself in bark at
Wetzel. He had better hunt rats at
the University Wetzel Democrat.
Last week we said that if Marion
county keeps on she will soon earn
the title of Wetzel No.2. The Dem
ocrat got mad at this, and shoots off
it's little pop gun in the above mean
ingless manner. We writhe beneath
the whitening sarcasm of that para
graph, and shall never again get in
the moonshine of the Philosopher of
Fishing Creek; no, never! Bob says
he has not time to attend to us this
week, from which we infer that we
may expect something immense next
week. s'Look a leetle out" Robert,
for you have been known on previous
occasions to snake an ass of your
self-at the request of the ladies"
However, we apologize for our remark
that Marion will become Wetzel No.
2, and say that by proper attention
and a due cultivation of mob-law, she
NAV become Wetzel No. 3 or a. Wet
eel will ever cling to the first position
with tenacity characteristic of her
peculiar ideas Of law and order.

LAMP ENTHUSIASTICALLY Fatal
Resalts.-A lamp exploded in the
kitchen of the Hough House, in this
place, on Wednesday evening last,
about s O'Clock, by which Mrs. Kate
Anderson, a domestic employed there,
was so seriously burned, by her
clothes catching fire, that her life is
dispaired of. The woman was fright
fully burned about the head and
shoulders, and had the upper part of
her clothing entirely burned off of
her. Medical aid was called in i'm
mediately after the causualty, and
everything did that could be done to
alleviate the unfortunate woman S
sufferings, and save her life, but she
is still lying in the Hough House in
a precarious condition and suffering
greatly.-Hder.

LIBERALITY.-Asw will be seen by
reference to our University CORES
pondence, President Thompson has
donated ST. 0 to the Literary Societies
of the University, to be awarded ac-
cording to the excellence in perform
ance of their members in the the
coming contest in June. This is
something unheard of in the previ-
GUS history of the University, but it
shows Enthusiastically the deep interest
the Executive has in the success of
the Institution. Such funds are usu-
ally appropriated from the moneys
belonging to Universities or are do
mated by wealthy gentlemen who have
friends in attendance at such schools.
But this is the first time we have
known an officer in such an institution
to provide for such a thing from his
private funds. 1t speaks volumes
for the man who did it and we hope
it may be properly appreciated and
remembered by the young men.

ished accordingly.

DEAD.-Mrs. Lou. Steele, wife of
Mr.. w. f. Steele, died at her residence
on Locust avenue on Wednesday,
April 8, 1879, of consumption, in the
10Th year Of her age. Though Mrs.
Steele had long been in declining
health, yet her death touches the cord
of sadness in the hearts of our citi-
zens. She was a lady very much re-
spected and esteemed by all who had
the pleasure of her acquaintance, and
many a one is sad because of her
departure. We extend our sympathies
to the mourning relatives and friends.

is in order and gardeners should have
good tools and fresh seeds. Many
failures are made for want of these
essential articles. Old seeds, such

ones procured. Novelties in this line
are usually advertised every year,
but are generally worthless; hence it
pays better to use such varieties as
you arc familiar with.
