from here were Mr.. Raymond Griggs
one of Monongalia's wealthy farmers
and best citizens, his two daughters,

Both gentlemen are abundantly
able TO go to Niagara or wherever
else they please and we think it q
very eommendable move to allow the
young ladies to see something of the

first of this week. We hope that they
received benefit and enjoyment from
the trip.

In the issue OF your paper Of Aug.
I'd, we called attention to the credit
that overseers OF certain roads merit,
which was noticed In following Is
sue by Justice" alias Calvin the
Bald, in which he is guilty of pre-
suming very considerably. He "at
first supposed" there was ian AK to
grind" and afterwards concludes to
"protest against the cruel sport" of
"poking fun, &C."
We simply made a truthful state
ment, and stick to 1t; gave "honor
to whom honor was DUE" and fur
ther say that two of these gentlemen
not brutes, as Justice" indicates
took charge OF roads in worse repair,
sleeper grades and moro rocky than
most of roads in the County. This
makes them deserving then, since
they have these routes in better order
than most others.
The ability of Mr.. L. Barb, as
overseer of the reads is not question
ed, but there is a portion under his
chargethat is in inferior order, viz:
between Flickers vile and J. NJ, Hill.
derbraud's.
We fear Justices" brain is but
"idly furnished" as he first calls
Messrs Davis, Larkln and Camp
gentlemen and then insinuates that
they are bru es. The brute that bel
loweth not his own mouth, the same
shall not be beloved.
Ifthe honorable (?) gentlemen from
the "Point" be possessed with a ca

ter protest" we are ready for him

MORE ARREsTs.-Somc days since
constable John Hildebrand and EN-
rod Tenant arrested Charley Scott
and Columbia or isis" Stephens,
somewhere near Clarksburg, brought
them TO town and lodged them
in Jail. They were denizens Of
Wattontown prior to its overthrow
by the citizens Of Marion county and
are charged with completely in the
robbery of Wilson & Hutchinson's'
store last winter. We are told that
some of the stolen goods were found
in their possession when they were
arrested. Dr. Newt. and Tom Wat
ton are also accused Of being parties
to the robbery, but up to this time
have not been arrested. We believe
it was chiefly through the instrument
tality of Mr.. Tenant that the thieves
who robbed Garrison d. Tenants
store were brought to justice and he
certainly has the thanks of many in
jured citizens for his efficient services
toward Kidding the country Of such
parasites. 1t has been predicted that
the rapscalions who have been hold
ing high carnival in this section so
long would meet their just deserts
and of late, the indications point to
verification of the prediction. We
also learn that a man named Patter-
son was arrested in Battelle district
for stealing wool and is in Jail. He
claims to have had number of ac-
completes but their names have not
been made public yet.

Tpr F,re-we have inst connie.

Tux FNIR-We have just compile
ted the printing of the catalogue Of
premiums of the new Fair Company.
The premiums are as liberal as could
be expected and will be given to the
raisers of fine stock instead of the
usual custom of giving them to some
fast horse from distance. The OBJ
ect of the present association ls not
to fill the pocket of some shrcwi horse
Jockey, but to arouse q commendable
spirit of rivalry in the production of
better cattle, hogs, sheep, grain aud
other products. The business of the
enterprise will he managed by our
best farmers and to their interest,
though they must have the hearty CO.
operation of citizens Of all classes
If properly conducted, it may BIO the
means of increasing the income of the
farmers of this county n half million
of dollars annually, by the more ex-
tensive introduction of blooded stock
and by its influence in getting them
to employ more scientific methods in
raising grain. Our farmers should
assemble en- masse and exchange
views upon the various methods of
raising their various products, and
there can be no doubt as to it's good
results. We venture that it will be
attended by the better class of farm
ers land it might be interesting to some
observant person to note the proper
ton of this class that will be present.
In the best farming and stock raising
counties OF the state agricultural
Fairs are successfully maintained,
and we will be disappointed if Mon
ongalia should fail to sustain this
one. If you see fellow who is down
on the Fair and who will not be there
most likely he is the self-same person
who plowed his corn ground with a
shovel pillow and will gather ten bush
els of inferior corn to the acre. We
have heard of some preparations nj
ready made by persons who will ex-
hibit stock and we expect to hear of
many more. Let every citizen in
Guiding the ladies) contribute some
thing toward making it success.
