RETURNED TO NJ oNoNGAL1A.--As will
be remembered by our readers Mr..
Milton Baremore and family left Mon
ongalia in 1872 to seek their fortune
elsewhere. Since then, most of the
time, their experience has been varied
and sad. After leaving here, they
resided two years in Doddridge coun-
ty, West Va. From there they went
to Illinois. In February last they
emigrated to Texas. Here for time
every thing went well. They enjoyed
good health and were prosperous I'M
til July, when several of the family
were taken sick. On the 1st of Sep
TENDER, last, their second son Sher-
man died. On the 9th of the same
month, Johnny, another son died.
In addition to their bereavement the
Father, Mother and daughter were
suffering with chills and fever, the
Mother still being quite low. On the
last day Of the old year, the family at
the earnest request of the only daugh-
ter, who was then quite low with bill
lious fever, left their home at Martin
Springs, Grayson county, Texas to re-
turn to w. Va. They reached Graf
ton on the third inst, where Anna, the
daughter expired soon after being taxi
en- from the cars. Her remains were
brought to Morgantown and inferred
in Oak Grove Cemetery on the 9th
inst. Mrs. Baremore is quite low yet
with chills and fever. They have the
profound sympathy of many friends
in their affection. Mr. Baremore's
eldest son is still in Texas, but we
learn he will soon come to West Vir-
ginia.
While many of those who emigrate
from this State to the West are pros
porous very large number are I'M
fortunate. The same amount of in
dustry and pluck required to amass
a fortune in the West will do the same
in w. Va. while the chances for good
health and long life are ten to one
among our hills. So we would advise
those who contemplate removing to
the West to consider we'll the propri-
ETY. Of the move before taking the final
step.

OK last Friday Ella Brand, daugh-
ter of a widow lady living about half
q mile above town, died under circum-
stances that warranted a post morton
examination. A few days previous she
gave birth to child. TWAS thought
by some of her friends that death
resulted from causes not altogeth
er natural, hence the examination,
Drs. Brock Bros, DR.. Mackey and DR..
MoLane held the examination but the
evidence failed to show that death re
suited from anything unusual, and the
coroners Jury rendered verdict &c
cordingly.

RUNAwAY.-Last Monday Plummer
Fitch, our sprightly yoang druggist,
had an exciting runaway. He was
returning from Fairmont in company
with Miss Lizzie Moreland and when
coming down the hill above Mr. Al
fred Barker's his horses got into a
2:40 gait and went down the hill at
break-neck speed. In making the
turn at the foot of the hill the sleigh
struck a stump that utterly demol-
ished it and threw both out. Fortu-
nately neither was hurt. The horses
were caught at Laurel Point and tax
en- back, when Plummer procured a
sled and brought his companion and
the remains of his sleigh to to n.

cred Free school ira tsol.gau-
tow m independent school Dis
trict.
On Friday evening, January Sd,
1879, Notwithstanding the intensely
cold weather, large audience of both
white and colored citizens of the town
and vicinity were promptly in attend
ance at the Alley Church FUSED now
as school house) to hear and be
heard in relation to the colored school.
The exercises were interspersed with
singing by the eolored choir, and this,
| have no hesitation in saying, Yves
the best part of the evenings exer-
cises. Mr.. Wade had so arranged
his programme, that the eloquence Of
both races was listened to alternate
IL. The meeting was called to order
by Jno. J. Brown, President of the
Board Of Education Of the District,
and he was followed in brief address
by Mr.. Wade, who made a full report
of the condition of the school, Mr..
Stephen Trimble called out Mr.. L. j.
Holland, young, flne-looking col
ored man, who did himself great cred
it. Prof. Purinton, of w. Va Uni
versitv, followed and walked up the
colored population by telling them if
they ever expected to improve as a
race they must learn to acquire prop
erty and lay up money-eompetenee
gives leisure, leisure gives opportuni-
" for thought and culture. Mr.. Ben
iqmin Smith (colorcd) followed in an
eloquent speech in which he clearly
proved that if he had early edu-
cation he would now be wearing the
judicial ermine. Prof b. S, Morgan,
of the Graded School of Morgantown,
followed him in neat and attractive
speech. Then came Mr.. Robert
johnson (colored) who proved that
there was no difference between the
black and white man; that the God
who made thegblack birds and sheep
and horses, had also made the white
ones Of the same species. This was
the best speech Of the evening. Rev.
snodgrass closed in his usual happy
manner. The colored school under
Prof. Geo. w. Semans is doing we'll
better than ever before, and if prompt
attendance can be secured for full
school term, will show its fruits in
increasing usefulness and progress

METEoRIC PHENoMEEoN.--By refer
ence to our Signal report we find the
following: At 7:10 p. II. of Dec 80,
1878 an unusually large and brilliant
meteor was observed falling from a
point little west Of south and at an
altitude of about go degrees. At its
first appearance it presented a slender
trail Of deep clue light, changing to
white, then to a golden and finally
crimson color. 1t described a path
very nearly perpendicular to the hor-
lion, the light increasing in brilliancy,
as well as in breadth, as it descended
and forming q nucleus, when it
reached within about 90 degrees of
the horizon exploded; no audible
sound accompanied the explosion.

TIE HOUSE, or SnEK1FF MANLEr OF

THE HOUSE OF SHERIFF MANLEY OF
MARION COUNTY DESTROYED BIZ FIRE.-
Last Friday, about one o'clock in the
afternoon, the house of Sheriff Man
ley, near Bobtown, in Grant District,
was entirely consumed by FIRE, and on
~ about hall his household effects
were saved. The cause of the fire was
that old stereotyped story-a defoc-
tive fue. 1t originated in one Of the
rooms up stairs, and was under such
great Roadway when discovered that
it was impossible to check its progress.
We are sorry to state that the Sher-
ifs loss amounts to about So, 500 over
and above his insurance, which is on
ly $1,000. He has been truly I'M
fortunate of late, rs it was only last
week that we gave an account Of the
destruction by fire of the Grange store
in Bobtown, and in that he was inter
ested to the extent Of $500 or $500,
all Of which was reduced to ashes.
He has our sympathy, and having
passed through the same ordeal, we
think we know how to sympathize
with him-Fairmont West Vtrgtn-
ian.

Nearly all the students who went
home to spend the holidays have re-
returned and are actively at work.

Many OF our citizens wonder why
the thermometers Of the Signal office
always register less change Of tenn
perature than most OF those about
town. The difference is probably
owing to the fact taat for about 100
feet the temperature ofthe air, as we
go upward, is higher by several de
grecs than at the surface Of the earth.
The thermometers in the observatory
Of the University, and the ones from
which the weather record is read is
about Is feet from the ground, and
consequently differs in its reading
from 50 to 100 from instruments at
the surface Of the earth. When our
citizens are informed that their Their
mometers are inaccurate if they diff
fer from the instruments in the Sig
nal Office, let them remember that in
all probability both readings are
correct, and differ only in proportion
to the difference of temperature of
their respective locations.

Incidentally it came out that two
of the senior class have been indulg-
ing quite frequently Of late in the
charming pastime Of sleighing. On
one occasion the young "Lotharias"
were jubilant, the ladies in fine spir
its, and everything was as "merry as
a sleighbell,' when suddenly the ebay
hoss,' becoming tired of the sport,
struck an attitude and refused TO go
step. Poor fellows! They eoaxed,
they whipped, they yelled, but all to
no purpose, and Dame Rumor hath it
that the fair ladies, beside their gay
cavaliers, closed the evenings sport
