The Custom of Shaving.

The custom of shaving the beard was
enforced by Alexander of Macedon, not
for the sake of fashion, but for u prac i.
cal end. lie knew that tho soldiers in
India, when they encountered their
foes, had the habit of graspng them by
the beard, and so he ordered his soldiers
to shave. Aiterward shaving was prac.
ticed in the Macedonian army, and then
among citizens. The Romans initial
the Greeks in the practice, as they did
in many other things, and spread 1t 20
the different European nations yet bar
barrie. In the middle ages, Mt the time
of the Renaissance, shaving was intro.
duced, and the habit WAS retained,
though olassicisms gave place to- roman
ticism, and that, in its turn, was rrplac.
ed by realism. The beard was source
of trouble to Peter the Great, who,
simultaneously with the introduction of
his great reforms in Russia, tried TO in.
duce his people to initiate the shaving
nations. This innovation was resisted
by his subjects with the utmost persist
ence, and they preferred to pay a heavy
fine rather than suffer Disagreement,
as they believed, of the image OF God.
To the Russians of olden times the
beard was q symbol of liberty. In sew.
eral countries of Western Europe and
in the United States the beard was re.
stored to honor only about twenty years
ago, and even yet the majority OF men
respect the custom introduced by Alex
ander the Great.

victim OF a heavy embezzlement. The
shortage was ascertaincd by the bank
examiner who was engaged in eSamin-

called the attention OF the assistant
cashier, w. w. kernc, To the fact, who
promptly confessed that he was a de-
iaulter TO the extent Of Sl3j,0O0 and
that the funds were used in unfortunate
speculations. He delivered himself
up to suffer the penalty Of his
crime. About $1,000 was recovered
in the shape oi unexpended margins.
Mr.. kcenc has been looked upon as n
young man Of irrcproachablc character
and was universally respected. The

GERS to at once make good the deficiency,
and the citizens entertain perfect conf

FAYETTE Circuit Court convened on
Monday. Senator Hereford addressed
the people OF that county on the first
day of court on the political issues OF
the day. A meeting was also held on
Wednesday, at which Gov. Price, OF
Greenbrier, presided, for the purpose OF
taking some steps toward correcting
certain false impressions which had got
ten abroad, in which the people of Fay
ettee were represented as being opposed
to immigration. Resolutions were
adopted extending warm hospitality to
immigrants, and especially to Swiss set
tiers.
WE are reliably informed that band
OF the Red Men called upon three brutal
wife beaters Whose name we did not
learn residing on Bingamon creek, one
night last week, and gave them a good
threshing. One OF the brutes, who had
been more addicted TO the habit OF
whipping his wife than the others,
was also ridden a short distance astride
of very sharp cornered fence rail.
They were warned TO mend their ways
and the vigilants retired. We are in
clned to believe that the Red Men who
figured in the above were few kind
hearted neighbors.-FGirmOd Inder.
As long as journals like the Inder
make plausible excuses for the actions
of such law breakers, just so long will
"Red Mem flourish in that community.
We speak on general principle. Let us

and all other "brutes. - Morgant01rn Post.
SOMETIME during the civil war near
the Bluff, on Flat Top mountain, In
Wyoming county, man and woman
who were running away 10 get married
were murdered and robbed OF their
money and horses. Some time after
the murder was committed, the particu-
lars OF which we have not learned, their
bones were found near the road, put IN
box and placed under a projecting rock.
RumOr has it that some weeks since the
spirits of the murdered couple were
heard i'm the vicinity OF the box, which
AT once created great CONSERVATION in
the neiChbOrhood. The excitement has
grown from day 10 day until the whole
country around has become the scene Of

WELbSBURG.

From the News
Mr.. VIM. Patterson, an extensive wool
dealer, OF Cross Creek district, died on
Tuesday morning, OF Brifht's disease OF
the kidneys, aged about sixty years.
In view OF the fact that the prospects
are good for establishing several I'M
pOrtant branches Of industry in Wells
burg, would it not be well for some cap
italists TO erect number OF houses 10
accommodate the wOrkingmen and their
families who will make their homes in
town? 1t is noteworthy that there are
no empty houses to be secured for love
or money in the town Of Wellsburg, so
far as We are aware. The Rev.
Buchanan for weeks endeavored
TO rent a house, but could not
obtain one, and was finally COM
PEELED to move To- Moundsville. 1t Is
true that men in moderate circumstances
have, through the two excellent build
ing associations, secured the means TO
build houses of their own. Already sew
eral Of our citizens have enjoyed this
benefit, and We hope others will follow
their example.
We have made diligent inquiry in re-
gard to the erection Of glass house
in Wellsburg, and are satisfied that the
prospect is encouraging. A company
OF practical workingmen from Wheel
ing visited our town and proposed
erecting the works, provided the citi-
zens will donate sufficient grounds for
the purpose. This they have agreed to
do, and already lots have been selected
and nearly all the money promised 70
pay for them. The party from Wheel
ing are daily expected, when it is be-

In aCcOr lance with a suggestion from

G. Gautier The latter gentleman IN
formed a reporter on Saturday that tins
committee would hold a meeting very
soon, and would make their report TO a
general meeting, which will most likely
be held in Philadelphia at an early date.
He could not give any outline ol the
plan 10 be proposed, aS nothing had vet
been definitely decided upon. The
movement WAS simply for the purpose
of getting a living profit for the manu-
factuters Of merchant steel and to OBJ
tain their proportion OF the benefits to
be derived from riSingmarket. Ii was
not proposed to form union for the
purpose Of arbitrarily advancing or
maintaining prices, but simply to unite
in doing what was for the best interest
OF the whole trade.

THE CHISHOLM MURDER
Verdict of Not Guilty.

DEKALB, Miss, September l2.-The
court in which is being tried the case OF
the State against Henry j. Gully for the
murder Of CornOlia Chisholm having
adjourned at p. n, yesterday, after the
argument for the defense was closed, so
that a sick juryman might not become
too much fatigued, convened this morn
ing at 3 o'clock. The juryman who Is
unwell is an old man 81 years of age,
and being unable to sit up was this
morning provided with bed, where he
laid during the concluding argument Of
Judge Morris on the part of the prose-
Cution.
Judge Morris closed the argument for
the prosecution at halfpast 10 this
morning. The case was given to the
Jury, and within less than half an hour
they returned with verdict of not
guilty. During the week of the trial a
large crowd has been in attendance, and
perfect order and quiet has prevailed.
A few nights ago, while several gen
tlemen were sitting on the pOrticO OF a
private residence in Dekalb. a negro
came TO the gate and called for Judge
Morris. The Judge being undressed,
declined 10 20 10 the gate, and the negro
declined To come in.

OFFICIAL CRooKEDNEss.
Foyette County Speculation.
Hinton Herald

At the recent term of the Fayette Cir
cult Court, in the trial of the cause OF
the county VS.. James Cassaday, late
Sheriff of the county, the fact was de-
veloped that vast amount of'crooked-
ness had existed in the management OF
the county affairs. 1t appears that
drafts OF the county that had been
turned in by the Sheriff for cancellation
at his various settlements, with the
commissioners appointed by the Court
to settle with him, had been distracted
from the Clerks office, and again put
in circulation, presented TO the Sheriff,
and paid second time. Like
our county, Fayatte has been bur
dened with a debt, the extent of
which seems past finding out; but this
suit is beginning 10 let daylight through
some very dark transactions. II the
suit has no other effect, it will break up
the practice of appointing the clerks OF
the court to settle with the sheriffs. The
clerk issues the drafts, takes the drafts
i'm upon a settlement of the sheriff, and
then has the custody OF them after they
are turned in, and thus fine opportun-
ity is afforded for some first-class rascal
itv. In cancelling drafts the common
practice is simply to write across the
face OF the draft, and it is very easy for
an expert to erase this writing, so that
the draft may again be used. The best
way to cancel is 10 cut the draft, which
will prevent its being used after cancel
alton.
