highest degree. The Governor was SO
completely Frustrated by his overpoweF-
ing grief that he fell on his way from
his house TO the carriage that took him
to the grave, and there his cries for his
wife were truely piteous. The funeral

place in Warrenton. The pail bearers
were Judge Keith, Judge Gaines, Gen.

sT ALAI:M OF FiRE.-Our citizens
were startled on Sunday morning last
about 1,2 clock. with the cry of fire,
which upou inquiry was found to be at
the Drug Store of Dir. r. L. Magruder.
1, appears from the most reasonable
view of the matter, that the fire origina-
TED from the effects OF stump ola cigar
having been thrown the Right before in
to box Of sawdust used as a spittoon..
The fire was first discovered by Mr.. G.
NJ. Beltzhoorer, whose residence is iEr
the same building, and who is also pro-
prietor of the property. I, was extih-
guishe before any serious damage was
dunr7 and bat for the prompt action by
some of the citizens most serious con-
fiagrasion would have been the result.
as it was, the only damage done, was
the burning Of hole in the floor about
two feet square. This is the third time
that ERE has originated III this store
room in the last few years, but has al
ways been successfully prevented from
sci ions consequences.

Meeting of the Farmers at the
Court House,
HON. TEHOs, NJ. ISBELa4'S AD'
DRESS.

A large and deeply interested number
OF the farmers of this county assembled
at the Court House in Charlestown, on
Monday last. V. NJ. FIROR, Esq,
was called to the chair, and after the
appointment of a committee, composed
of John II. Strider, Geo. w. Eichelber-
ger, and Col. r. w. Baylor, to draft an
address to the Legislature of this State,
invoking legislative action for the pro
lection of the citizens against railroad
extoriion, the Hon. Thos. NJ. Isbell was
introduced to the audience, and COM
manded its respectful attention tor near
ly TWO hours listening to the delivery
of his speech on "The causes OF decay IN
respect to Agricultural Industry" Mr.,
Isbell graphically treated upon the early
history of agricultural literature as emr
bodied in prose and poetry, and then in
a most mastery manner did he define
ate the false ethics of the political econ
omists of the present day in the destruc-
tive legislation by Congress, in contract
ing the coagent of labor, capital, which
are inseparable in their wealth-produ-
cling capacity. He also clearly aud for
chilly stated the de!raetion from agricul-
tural prosperity by the extortion of cor
porate bodies, and the heavy taxation by
Federal, State, county and corporate au-
thority, and the injustice of exempting
the millions Of dollars of property in the
shape of I. S, bends from taxation.
After the close of his speech, the com
miltee submitted their address to the
Legislature, which was read and unani-
mously adopted.

How Wealth Is Accumulated.

AS rule wealth is the result of in
dustry, economy, attention to business,
and as rule poverty is the result of
idleness, extravaganza, and iuatteption
TO business, though TO these rules there
are thousands of exceptions. The man
who has wasted bis time, who las thrown
away bis opportunities, is apt to envy
the man who has not. For instance,
here are six shoemakers working in one
shop, One oi them attends TO bis bust
ness; YOU can hear the music of his
hammer late and early; he is in loyc, it
may be, with some girl on the other
street; he has made up his mind to be
man, 20 succeed, TO make somebody
else happy, to have home; aud while
be is working, in lis Imagination, he
can see bis own Preside, with the light
falling upon the faces of wife and child.
The other FIVE gentlemen work as little
as they can, spend Sunday in diSsipa-
ton, have the headache Monday, and,
as a result, never advance The indus
tyious one, the one in love, gains the
confidence OF his employer, and in lit
tic " While be cuts out work for these other
fellows. The first thing YOU know he
has shop Of his own, the next store,
because the man of reputation, the man
Of character, the man of known integri-
ty, can buy all he wishes in the United
States upon credit. Tie next thing You
know he is married, and he has built
him house, and he is happy, and his
dream has been realized After while
the same FIVE shoemakers, having pur-
sued the old course, stand on the corner
some Sunday when he rides by. lie
has got carriage, his wife sits by his
side, her face covered with smiles, aud
they have 90. two children, their faces
beaming with JOY, and the blue ribbons
futtering in the wind. And ,hereupon
these FIVE shoemakers adjourn TO some
neighboring saloon and pass resolu-
ton that there is an irrepressible con-
fict between capital and labor.

y COUNTY COURT SlLI.-Mr. Melvin,
one of the delegates from Jefferson, in
PRODUCED into the House, day or two
ago, a measure which seems TO US to
possess merit. 1t is not to abolish the
County Courts, but to construct and, 1t
looks to us, improve them. The scheme
is simple and plain. 1t provides. in
short, that in each county there shall be
elected double as many justices as there
are magis.erial districts, one-halt the
number to be elected by the voters Of
the county at large and the remaining
halt by the voters of the respective dis
sriets. Those Justices elected in the
districts are to try ordinary causes in
their respective districts, while those
elected at large are to sit as County
Court to hear appeals and to transact
the fiscal affairs OF the county. In this
way, IL is believed better class of men
will be obtained,an a somewhat cheap
err System be furnished, for the transac-
ton of the county business. Without
elabola ting the plan further at this time,
we commend it to the thoughtful in
yestigation o. the members OF the Leg
Hheeling Register.
