The Case of Bogy Ice.
New Martinsyille Democrat.

New MarUnSNlllc DcIo'Ehls
Many of our citizens remember Ell
Ice. who murd Tered a man named Wade
in Marion county during the war. Wade
was a peaceable citizen, but suspected
of being in sympathy with the rebels
Ice called at his house under pretence
OF executing an order for Wade's arrest
and after he had marched Wade a short
distance, shot him down in cold blood
Ice had no order for Wade's arrest, but
being a crack-brained fanatic, thought II
his duty TO shoot rebels at sight, espe-
cially if unarmed.
Being regarded by the citizens OF Ma
rion county generally as a dangerous
man. when the war ended there was but
little difficulty in sending Ice TO the
penitentiary. Having served a number
of wears, Ice now apples to the Grand
Army of the Republic for relief. lie
presents petition which is tissue OF
lies. The G.. A. r. is investigating the
matter. q. S. McFadden, Esq, OF Mar
shall county, comes to his rescue. lie
saws that somebody holds Ices lands in
this county bv virtue OF 4 sham sale
made at New Martinsville.
He tells Il pretty plain and rather UNI
comfortable story about Ices treatment
by his lawyers and others. But he does
not attempt to justify the murder OF
Wade. While we are not prepared to
say that Ice mot being responsible be,
ing, as we think ought to bepunished
with confinement for life in the penlten-
tiary, we hope the Government will not
LET him loose on the ex-rebels during the
remainder OF our sojourn in the United
States.

New York custom-house to select two clerks.
The candidates were numerous and OF most
respectable class, doctors, lawyers and jour-

dates were examined were penmanship. writ
ing and briefing, the elements Of English
grammar, arithmetic, the elements OF ac-
counts and book keeping, and history and
geography with special reference to this coun-
try. Thirteen OF the candidates obtained the
proper grade In their answers. The two
highest Of these will obtain the two vacant

such positions that may become vacant here
