BUCKHANNoN BRIEFS.
DIR. Richard Blum, of Wheeling, who
was in town this week, has been spend
ing the hot months at his palace home
at Helvetia.-Delta.
This is the way the Delta refers to
Squire Maves: ''There is Justice of
the Peace in West Alexandria, Va, who
has married over 400 couples. Such
is fame.
Mr.. w. +. Lister, OF Buckhannon,
who has been working on the asylum at
Weston, returned home on Tuesday;
He is somewhat crippled up from fall
received while there.
The railroad to Weston was expected
TO be finished by the first of September,
but having run out of rails it was de-
laved few days. Four and half miles
of the track yct remain to be laid.
NEW MARTINsvILLE MESSAGES.
We take the following items from the
sprightly little Messenger, whose Hart Is
in its work:
Everybody we have talked to thinks
that the Board of Education ought to
buy a school bell.
1t is thought that the New Martins
vile school house will be finished next
year. 1t isn't begun yet.
The County Court resclnded the or
der, which was passed at the April
term, dividing Grant district.
There is to be a grand ball at Sisters
vile on the 9TH of September. About
two hundred invitations will be issued.
The steamer PhRtOn will carry persons
attending the ball at hall fare.
\ gentleman VINO WIS at All lIlc lONHo
between here and Parkersburg, few
DAYS since, informs us that there is more
life and business displayed in New Mar
tinsville than in any other town he had
visited.
We have been unable, during the
past week, to pay the close attention
that we desired to our state exchanges,
and may have missed many good
things" byit. We have never had the
pleasure of meeting many OF the
brethren, but we have learned to feel q
decided interest in the weekly visits OF
their representatives. Morris, the Fair
monters, Hoffman, the Hancockltes, the
Tvlerites, the Wellsburgers, the Mounds
Williams and the Parkersburgers we have
met, and, Gin our minds eye" we i'm
agine that we know just how the rest
look. We will be sadly disappointed
when we meet Sergeant at the Assocla-
ton if We don't find him one of those
iollv, good-natured fellows, who ought
to keep hotel; if Trimble isn't just one
of the "nicest boys" and Dawson the
beau ideal of ladies man.
