crease of crime. From the close of
the war until the panic of 1873 there
were but one or two persons sent to
the Penitentiary from Monongalia.
Since then times have become hard
and money scarce. Crime, especial
ly stealing has increased at fearful

yet. Who can blame these poor
wretches who are now in Jail for steal
ing, when their wives and children
are in rags, with scarcely enough Of
these to hide their nakedness, and
their children crying for something
to eat. A law could be passed au-
thorizing enough money to be coined

pie, the road will be running to Nor
gantown in one year. The details of
local aid, right of way, and other
matters were not fully determined,
and hence are in no condition for pub
LEGATION, but as soon as possible they
will be furnished for publication and
submitted to the public.
This road is q solvent and respon-
sible one, paying six and seven per
cent. dividends, and is substantially
built and thoroughly equipped, and
any guarantee it may offer for the ex-
tension of its line to this place may
be regarded as placing it beyond al
doubt. The surveys are being push
ed forward to this place as rapidly as
possible, and every preliminary in
case the work should go on. Now
that we have little or no prospect OF
the speedy completion of the narrow
gauge road, do not let us miss this
chance, but strain every nerve to sc.
cure this road.
