the occasion, aud was lighted with lamps
suspended from tie ceiling. The ladies
were dressed in calico and the gentlemen
in CORE ,pondingly inexpensive raiment
The fui niture was in keeping with the
place, and while there was furnished
everything necessary to comfort, nothing
very extravagant was seen. Never be-

in the worl1-has there been given Il

There was no trouble about persons slip.

STATE SCRAPS,
Improving the County Roads
Tribute to Thomas HOrnbrOOk
How a West Nirginian
Headed OFF a Railroad.
Wayne County's Progress.

Wayne County's Progress.
Wayne county Is making some marked
improvements. Last weeks ldrOcdte
contains long list of roads that have
been undertaken there, and those en-
terprising people intend to put their
territory i'm order for general system
of Improvement. With the various
lines OF roads now contemplated and
under way, that county will offer very
superior inducements to settlers and
immigrants to locate and clear
out the forests. This must neCes-
sarily result in a great enhance
ment in the value of real estate
and largely increased production OF
crops, which will add to the general
wealth. The Huntington IdreTtiSer says
that one feature deserves special notice,
and that is that the general direction OF
the proposed improvements point to-
ward the Big Sandy river and the Ohio
river at Catlettsburn and CeredO, and
adds, III our county had shown a dis
position to cooperate with our neigh
bors by projecting roads leading towards
the Wayne county line, they would
doubtless have met us half way and
directed their trade by these routes of
travel to this city. With no apparent
movement OF this character they have
chosen the other route, which will car
nv to Catlettsburg the trade which We
could have had for the effort
Tribute of Respect.
At a recent meeting OF the Clarksburg
Christian Temperance Union, a series
OF resolutions complimentary TO Col.
Thomas HornbrOOk, as a philanthro-
piSt, a temperance apostle and man,
was adopted and ordered printed. The
following is their substance:
Colonel Thomas HOrnbroOk, a dis
tinguished citizen of our State, an able
and ernest worker in the cause OF tenn
perance, and true friend of his race,
who literally event about doing good,
having departed this life in the city OF
Wheeling on Sunday, the 26th ultimo,
and we, the members of the Clarksburg
Christian Temperance Union knowing
his good works, and deploring the loss
OF one so useful, deem it proper to offer
some tribute of respect to one who well
deserves TO be held in lasting remem-
brance by the friends OF. temperance;
therefore
Resolrsd, That in the death OF Colonel
Thomas Hornbrook, West Virginia has
lost one Of her most useful citizens, the
cause OF temperance one of its most able
and earnest advocates, and the poor of
his community a generous benefactor;
and
RcSOlred, That we tender our condo
lence and sympathy to the family of the
deceased.

minus of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road has been Huntington, w. Va.
Seven miles below Huntington is Cere-
do, the home of the Hon. Charles b.
Hoard, formerly resident of this city,
aud member OF Congress from this dis
trict. Since the Chesapeake and Ohio
road was first projected, Mr. Hoard has
felt lively interest in getting it con-
structed to Ceredo, the point where 1t
was originally intended it should strike
the Ohio river Last winter Mr.. Hoard
became anxious for the completion OF
the road TO Ceredo and beyond, so he
went to the Legislature and succeeded
in getting bill through compelling the
company 10 90 on with the road or give
up their charter. And then, to expedite
matters he secured the right of way, and
got the consent of the persons interested
to let them pass through the cemetery,
and to remove some OF the bodies the
track would have passed over, but in
stead of going to CeredO, they surveyed
the road on the other Side OF Twelve
Pole Greek, and left Ceredo out in the
cold. The old gentleman was irrepressl-
ble-he bought piece OF land through
which the survey was made and
laid out a cemetery. The law OF West
Virginia will not permit railroad to
run through a burial-place without the
consent of the friends of the dead who
are buried in said cemetery. After Mr..
Hoard had fenced off the cemetery, he
did not comply with the law, because it
contained no dead person. He was not
to give up the job here, and being a law
abiding citizen he could not make a
corpse to order. He was fearful that
they would get to work before ne had
secured tenant for his graveyard. But
fortune always favors the brave, and in
this instance stepped in to the rescue
Just in time.
At Trout's Court House, at distance
of ten or a dozen miles, an old woman
laid down the burden of life for some
cause best known to herself or physi-
clans. Mr.. Hoard heard OF it, and hast
ening to the spot begged the body"
He promised to bury her at his own
cost, and erect a monument, If the
friends would consent to have her put
in his cemetery. The old lady was
given to him, and he had her planted
exactly across the spot where the rail-
road was to 90. What the company has
done about it we have not heard. The
matter is of considerable Importance to
them, because they are obliged to pass
through Mr.. HOard's new cemetery, or
else go ria Ceredo.

THE following bit of presidential Cos
sip from a New York correspondent OF
a Cincinnati paper shows pretty truly
the way the thing is working;
"Blaine may have had few moments
of weakness on this subject while he
was in Ohio, but ne is strong now
even 'stalwart'-and unalterably re-
solved to stand as a presidential candi-
date, no matter who opposes. This is
known to be true of Sherman also, and
the presence of two such powerful men
in the field will completely Illustrate the
purpose OF those friends of Grant who
say land Judge PierropOnt is among
them that the dignity of his character
and record will not permit him To 90 in
10 a contest for the nomination. 1t is
certain that there is to be contest, and
a determined one"

party again appears as the party OF in
vincible hope, of perennial vigor, which
no quarrel within the party and no foe
without can conquer. The imperial de-
cisive State votes for the town-meetlng
government, for the Democratic princi-
pie, the American principle and protests
against the destruction of the Republic
