stop to the carrying Of concealed
weapons, by the enforcement of the
.statelaw. The practice is getting
altogether toocommoni in this county,
and particularly in this community.
We are told that there is hardly a
boy in towi who has not got a reyol
yer or dirk knife swung to his per-
son, or hid somewhere about his
clothes, and it is a fact, potent to
every one, that nearly all Of our
yoiing men, and very large number
of the older ones have got into the
same habit. There is no necessity
for this practice, in a peaceable coun.
ty, like ours, and stop should be
put toit at once, unless it is desired
that occurrences of a serious nature
should occur at almost any moment.
We want the Justices and town off.
GERS to rigidly enforce the law against
carrying concealed weapons, against
every one, without favor or partially

WARNING TO PETITloNERs.-It docs
not seem to be understood that par
ties who sign petitions for the estab-
llishment of roads are liable for costs,
in case the Court refuses to establish
the road asked for. While this, OF
course, ought not to prevent people
from petitioning for the establish.
iment of'any road they think would
prove beneficial, yet it may serve to
stop the wholesale petitioning for
roads by people who know nothing
at all as to the propriety of the es-
tablishment of the road petitioned
for People seem to sign petitions
for roads whether necessary or not,
without considering the fact that ev-
cry such petition takes the time of
the court and involves expense to
the taxpayers of the county.-Es.

We have had no mail since Mon
day morning, either from up or down
the. Ohio. The Telephone has been
laid up a week or more, and has made
no effort to get the mail here, and
now the Chesa peakc is laid up, and
we have had no mail from Parkers-
burg since Friday night. The result
is that our county correspondents are
all cut off this week, and besides we
are short of local items, and there
fore our readers must excuse all short
comings in this paper.
