A LITTLE GIRL KICKED AND BEATEN
TO DEATH BY A FIEND.-From the
Kingwood Journal we learn that
George Shrout, who lives about three
miles west of Kingwood, just off the
Morgantown pike, was arrested and
lodged in Jail on Monday night. The
charge against him is for maltreat-
ment, which resulted in the death of
Florence Hoff, little girl eight years
old, daughter of the wife of John
Bucklew, who lives on the Fairfax
road from Kingwood to Portland,
about two miles from the Fairfax ford.
The child was half-sister to Shrout's
wife, and had been living with him
about two months before its death.
The testimony before the Coroner
was conclusive against Shrout. 1t
appeared that he had most shame
fully and most brutally treated the
child. He kicked her in the side,
beat her on the back with large
club, once he threw her against the
door post, and hurt her side, threw
her out of doors in the snow, and
then when she got sick on account of
such ficndish treatment, he forced her
to walk home, distance of nine miles.
The child never Strengthened up after
its last beating, but carried itself in
a stopped position.

the result of the foolish handling of

The bullet going clear through the
thigh of the boy, and producing a

long as there are boys and firearmes
such things will continue to occur.
Many accidents of this kind might
be prevented ifparents would caution
their boys against carrying pistols
and playfully handling the dangerous
weapons.

LICENSE OR No LICENSE
Thursday afternoon special cleo
ton will be held at the Mayors office
to take the sense of the voters of Nor
gantown on the question Of license.
During the past year Morgantown
has had licensed houses that sold
liquor, though for the first time in
many years and We hope it will be
the last for many years to come.
Present indications, we think, point
to a continuance of license yet the re-
suit can not be foretold to certainty.
When there was no license here it
seemed that the sale Of the ardent
conld not be stopped and we have no
doubt this was one of the strongest
arguments brought to bear upon the
voters at the last election. Let'evcry
voter go to the polls and vote what
he thinks to be the right ticket and
there will be no license here next

THE legitimate field of the Dromat-
&c Ne,cs is indicated by its name. But
it veers off the track just enough to
notice Chas. A. Dana, editor of the
New York Sun. 1t says Mr.. Dana
failed as the managing editor of the
New York Tribune, as assistant secre-
tary Of war, as the editor-in-chief Of the
Chicago Republican, as the editor Of a
poetical miscellany, as the biographer
of President Grant, and as an appli-
cant for the New York c~ollectorship.
1t says he is a noisy %hypocrite, an au-
dacious, imposter, a bilious adversary, a
trembling servitor, and a sneaking and
coprophagous parasite; and declares
that ''he is as isolated from honorable
friendship rs the sand-girt sphinx"
Mr.. Dana can't hit very much harder
than this.
