LAST Saturday evening large au>
dience attended the play of Rip Van
Wrinkle at Academy Hall, by Fred b.
Williams, assisted by several mem
bers of the ..Fairmont Dramatic So
ciety. Although its rendition fell
below the expectations of many in the
audience, there are many allowances
to be made for the disadvantages un-
der which the young actor labored.
The hall was unsuitable and the short
time given to get it ready were much
against him. The young gentlemen
from Fairmont acquitted themselves
creditably especially the comic antics
of Phil. Greiner in the farce of the
Yankee Duelist On the whole the
entertainment was as good as could
have boon expected under the circum-
stances.

READ the excellent correspondence
from Fort Martin in another column.
The ideas are well expressed and the
chirography was beautiful. We would
be truly glad to be favored with many
such. We are glad to have an extern
sive correspondence at all times,
though we are unable to publish
many letters that we receive. When
correspondents do not see their pro-
auctions in print, they may be assur-
ed that there is some good reason for
it. Let them not be discouraged but
send them in in great numbers. Give
us the important news of your respec-
tive neigh borhonds.

RAILROAD.

we were IellaDly INFORMED laSt
week that the local subscriptions to
the railroad were made with the ex-
ception of about 81, 900 due from Cass
District We think that our friends
in Cass District will certainly make
good this deficit and thereby bring
the railroad through Monongalia.
The officers of the road who live
here inform us that the company is
willing and anxious to perform its
part of the contract, but it will not
build the road unless the people along
its line make the subscriptions asked,
viz. $4,000 per mile.
Don't indulge in the hope that the
company will build the road without
the subscriptions, Its officers assure
us that this will not be done, No
railroads are now being built without
local subscriptions and it is very un-
likely that any will bc built in the
future without them.
We cannot think that the people Of
Cass District will allow this gigantic
enterprise to fail for the want of SO
small a sum as $4,000. We expect
to hear of this being raised within the
next two weeks. If it is not raised
it will certainly be attributable to the
shortsightedness and not to the ma
bility Of the citizens of that District
Let the amount be pledged if even
those who have already subscribed
literally shall make it up.
We cannot think that our people
realize the importance Of this enter
prise to our county and state or the
subscriptions would have been COM
plcted long since. If we let this OPP
portunity slip, we will likely not have
railroad in the next half century.
Let our friends all along the line of
the road in Monongalia emulate the
example of Morgan District. In adj
dition to the twenty thousand dollars
this District will raise by taxation
for this purpose, her private subscrip-
tions will almost if not altogether
reach that sum. We do not say this
in Dragging spirit, but we want it
distinctly understood that if the road
fails to come, Morgan District is re-
sponsible in no degree for its defeat.
The men who take stock in the road
are not giving their money to it by
any means. 1t is more likely to re-
turn large dividends to the stockhold-
ers than any other enterprise we can
think of. Its managers will be chosen
from our own citizens. 1t will be un-
der the care of men of our own selec-
ton. Its principal office will be in
Morgantown and it's management
will be directly under our own scrut-
ing.
We have written column after col
umn On the subject until it has been
SO thoroughly explained and argued
that it seems useless to continue, but
we will not give up as long as there
is shadow of hope left. We will
certainly not believe that our people
will abandon it when it is so nearly
within their grasp. If we let it go,
Monongalia is doomed to isolation
and to still hold her position in the
rear of many Of her sister counties.
With this road completed her fortune
is made. Her coal fields will be
made available. Her products will
be within easy reach of good markets,
in fact wealth and prosperity win
naturally flow into her Golfers. LET

REMOVAL OF THE COUNTY SEAT OF
TAYLOR CoUNTY.-The county seat of
Taylor county has at last been remov.
ed from Pruntytown to Grafton. The
Fairmont Inder says. 1t will be re.
membercd that the question of re.
moval was submitted to vote of the
people Of Taylor county last October
and Grafton received the necessary
number votes, but the County Court
refused to declare Grafton the county
seat. Thus the matter stood until
last Tuesday, the first day Of the Jan
uary term of the court, when the
Graftonitcs, by theirscounsel, James
Morrow, Jr., of Fairmont, presented
mandomus procured from the Judge
Of the Circuit Court, and Justices
Martin and Poe made the order de-
claring Grafton the county seat, and
ordering its immediate removal, while
the President of the Court excitedly
and solemnly protested. The books
and records of the Court were imme-
diatcly loaded into wagons, and just
three hours afterward the court opened
in Brinkman's hall, in Grafton. That
thrifty little town is now shouting
aloud for joy, while Pruntytown
mourneth as one without hope. The
new court house will be erected early
in the spring.

ALEcK TRrPPErT now wears the belt
as the champion fox hunter. Within
few days past he has caught three
reynards. DR.. johnson, the Camp
Bros. and the Frums will have to look
to their laurels. Alexis success has
excited the jealousy of some of the
other Nimrods and we accidentally
learned yesterday that coalition
had, been formed by number of par
ties and considerable sum of money
raised with the wicked design of"mak-
ing way" with Alexis dogs. We
hope the designs of these parties will
be frustrated and that he will still be
permitted to keep his "towsers" and
have his own sport. We promised
not to divulge the above but give it
to put Aleck on his guard.

Why WE PUBLISH "THE NEW Do
xrNrox" AT $3.50 A YEAR.--We have
been asked several times lately If we
could afford to publish a paper at
$3.50 year when most of our local
contemporaries still charge g, 90 war
prices.
We have always answered the above
question in the affirmative. While
we never can amass fortune in pub
fishing paper at $3.50, vet by care
full management it can be ms1e to
pay expenses and maintain us decent
ly, We can buy paper % per cent
cheaper than it could be bought some
years ago, labor can be had % to 33
per cent cheaper, all the necessaries
of life are from % to 33 per cent
cheaper. In fact everything we buy
is cheaper, hence Sl.50 is fully as
good now as $500 was ten years ago.
1t has always been our object to fur
nish our paper, as we'll as Job work
and all other business at as low fig
ures as would make us reasonable
compensation. We nave never sought
to take advantage of our patrons, and
by pursuing this course and dealing
fairly we have built up quite large
business. In fact We are doing more
printing at present than any other
office in this section. We have gain
ed solid support and arc well estab-
lished in business, the good(? p wishes
of some of our friends TO the contrary
Notwithstanding. We have advanc.
ed slowly, not going ofi.into any figh.
ty enterprises, hence our success.
We do not intend to go beyond our
income, and as our business increases
and our subscription list grows larger
we will enlarge and improve our pa
per. Let our patrons not forget, that
the more prompt and generous they
are in paying their bills the better
paper they will receive With our
present list Of prompt paying sub
scribcrs The New DOMINION will
prosecute its work and will always be
ready to give its aid to all matters that
will contribute to the public good.

OBITUARY.

Merchant Frum, son OF Samuel and
Louisa Frum, Of Granville, Mononga-
liza county, w. Va, departed this life
Jan. goth, 1879, aged 4 years and s
months. He was taken with violent
attack Of Pneumonia, from which he
never recovered. In few days the
lovely form OF this beautiful child was
in the embrace of death and his pure
spirit had taken its flight to dwell In
the presence of Him, who said, "Their
angels (spirits) do always behold the
face ofmy Father who is in heaven"
death found strange beauty on that
cherub brow.
And dashed ii out. There was tint of
rose
On cheek and lip; he touched the veins
with ice
And the rose faded. Forth from those
blue eyes
There spoke wistful tenderness
doubt
Whether to grieve or sleep, which inno>
eence
Alone can wear With ruthless haste he
bound
The silkeu fringes Of their curtain lids
Forever. But there beamed n
smile
So fixed and holy, fiom that marble
brow
Death gazcd and left il there he dare not
steal
The Signet ring Of heaven"
The funeral was largely attended.
The mortal remains of little Merchant
Frum was followed to the grave by
many sorrowing friends, who, tender
" laid him to rest.
'liest weary dust, lie here an hour,
Ere long, like blossoms from the Sod
Thou shalt come forth glorious flower,
Fit for the eye ,of God"

PRESIDENT THoMPsoN's LECTURE IN
WHEELING.-President Thompson has
been in Wheeling for several days and
on Sunday evening delivered a lecture
in regard to which the Register speaks
as follows: The Fourth Street Meth
odist Church was full to overlooking
last evening, the occasion being the
delivery, by Rev. j. R. Thompson,
president of the State University, of a
lecture on the subject of "Modern
Skepticisn." Before the time for the
commencement of the services the
church was comfortably filed, and
by quarter past seven every availa-
BILE space was occupied. This vast
assembly was both an evidence Of in
terest on the part of the people in the
subject to be considered, and a mark
of confidence in Mr.. Thompson's abil-
ity to present the matter in a manner
worthy of their thoughtful attention.
This, we feel justified in saying, was
a confidence only greater at the con-
clusion of the discourse than at it's
commencement. The speakers fer
vid manner is too we'll known for us
to attempt to describe it further than
to say that the effort was in his best
vein, and abounded in passages of
impassioned eloquence, as well as of
convincing argument of a calmcr
kind.

JOHN A. LLOYD, prominent bust
ness man of Palatine, Marion county,
was found dead in the Monongahela
river, at Fairmont, on Wednesday of
last week. 1t is supposed that he CONS
milted suicide by jumping into the
river. He had been unfortunate in
numerous business transactions of
late, which so preyed upon his mind as
to cause him to resort to strong drink.
He was about forty>hve years of age,
and leaves a wife and ten children.
A few years ago he was regarded as a
successful business man, and was high
ly esteemed in the community in
which he lived.
