BARNEsVILLE.

A seriea of meeting were held in the Prea
byterian church of this place, and conducted
by the pastor Rev. Mack, who faithfully and
srdently labored to kindle an enthusiasm,
which might awaken the congregation TO real
ize its responsibilities, but his efforts were in
vain and the meetings closed with but one or
two accessions to the church. Mr.. Mack is not
the person to let encouragement interfere
with duty and obligation, and is assisting
meeting In the NJ. E. church. The meetings
are well attended, and the church has received
number of accessions.
We are glad to say that Barnesville has as
cended another round on the ladder OF pro-
gression, and has a fiourishiF 6 painting
class, under the instruction of Miss Emma Ew-
ers, one Of our most estimsble teachers in the
public school. We hope the community will
extend the hand of encouragement TO this ad-
vsncement, as painting is truly styled the
''art of arts" and while il cultivates the taste
for the beautiful, and gives embodiment to
the conception of man and presents that
which is beyond the power of sculpture and
architecture, it also refnes the intellect, and
calls forth the study of human nature which
is as changeable and intricate as the myriads
of stars in our celestial ceiling.
Mr. A. C. Hill, travelling salesman for the
wholesale grocery of ]. NJ. Lewis, has pur-
chased the grocery formerly belonging to j.
G. Parker, and will soon take upon himself
the duties of proprietorship, and bid sdieu to
the gay and fancied pleasures of the ''drum-
mer." We are glad 10 hear that Mr.. James
Ramsey has been employed as Mr.. Hills sue
cessor as salesman.
Two car loads OF Dawson's shaft coal has
been ordered by the B. & o. r. R to be
shipped to Chicago, for the purpose of testing
its qualities for the production of Illuminating
gas. The idea has been suggested to the
mind of the public, that perhaps the company
is contemplating negotiating for the purchase
Of the mines.
]. R. Hunt s. Bro, former dry goods mer
chants of this place, have disposed of all their
real estate, Mr.. Benz. Bailey being the pur-
chaser.
Mr.. Charlie Dobbins has purchased the
grocery of Mr.. Frank &. Lyles, on east Main

The many friends of Lieut.. George E. Hill
les, who has been suffering from severe at
tack of diphtheria, are rejoiced to hear of his
convalescence, and trust that he will soon be
sufficiently recuperated to greet us in his ac-
custOmed business place.
DR.. Nicholas Judkins whose health has
been impaired for some time, and was very
recently attacked with hemorrhage of the
bowels, still remains in a very precarious con-
dition.

visiting friends in Cleveland, Ohio.
Miss Nellie Hingely, of Cambridge, and
daughter of the former pastor of the NJ E.

We notice by the Enterprise, last week,
that Mr.. Charlie johnson editor of the Wheel
ing Leader, was in town searching for regu-
lar correspondent from this place to the
Leader, and from the effusions appearing in
last Sundays issue, we would infer that he
succeeded in capturing gay young ''Lochin-
war;" We would fain have you think that
we possess q '.Lechinvar" $50 daring in love
and dauntless in war;" as the young hero
whose name Sir Walter Scott has enveloped
in poetic halo; but We would have you know
that we can boast of 'LochinYar" whose
treasury of thought and language is made up
Of gems of wit, with no Outgushings OF piety
or efflueuce of genius, to shine by the re-
fected light of his superior witticism. But
while we recommend our ''Lochinvar" we
must warn him against dipping his pen into
the Oriental rays of imagination, and rearing
from the smouldering debris a genealogical
tree" that will not stand the scrutiny OF man,
and will only bear the perishable fruit of q
vivid imagination; and while we thank young
Lochinvar for the compliment he payed our
"Pa," in considering him cousin of the most
worthy editor of the CHRONICLE, we will also
be charitable enough to correct the mistake
by saying there is no relationship whatever
existing between ths Hunt and Hazard fam
lilies. KATE 6AzAKD.
