A REVIVAL Of great interest is in pro-
cress in the Methodist Church. Revs.
smith, MarkwoOd and Nandiver, OF
neishbOring charges, are entering heart
ily into the work. The management OF
the series Of meetings devolves upon
Rev. Haddaway. Up to "Wednesday
night there hal been about thirty con-
versions, mostly young people. That
number was received into the Church
on Wednesday night.
TIE election for County Superinten-
dent and school officers came off Tues
dav last. But very little interest was
manifested in the election, and there
fore the vote is light. The following Is
the vote as far as heard from: Hoover,
for County Superintendent, l65; for
President of the Board of Education,
Chipley IS, Whiting 30; School Com
missioners, Slyer 50, Allen 35, Racy IL,
DutieN -, Tor SCHOOL levy, lut' dSdlhot

GIN It's labors, at Mooreiield, on Monday
the 18th inst. In withholding the ap-
propriations from the State Normal
Schools, the Legislature severely tried
the free School spirit throughout the
commonwealth; but the shock was
only temporary. When the people
came fairly Ia consider the value,
efficacy and universally Of the pro-
vision for Institutes in all the counties,
which WAS substituted for the more eX-
pensive. less available, and certainly far
less diSpenSatiOn of help TO teachers
through the Normal Schools, we are per-
suaded that the haSty verdict will be
srtaside, and that all good people will
recognize that Il great step forward has
been made. Under the present ar
rangement, every teacher in West Nir-
ginia, at a cost too tritiing to mention,
can have the benefit OF a weeks in
struction from the very best available
sources.

Profitable stock Investments.

Before Mrssrs. Lawrence q Co, the
New York bankers, inauguratcd the
combination system 81 operating IN
stocks. it was often very difficult for in
experienced operators, or even old stag
crs, 10 deal proftably 10y their single
handed ventures. Now the field IL
open 10 every one for successful
operations, and capital in any amounts,
from $40 10 $4,000, can be- used with
equal proportionatc profit. Instead oi
distrartiny efforts among many custom
crs, the orders Of thousands are con-
centratcd into one vast pool and cO-
operated Tor the benefit Oi all, dividing
profits pro rata every month. A prom
inent citizen of Sdu Francisco made
sl,2JiS3 from an investment Oi 500
last month. Other customers arr doing
better still. SIS pays Sl2j during the
month, 500 returns 81 200, or o per
cent. on the stock. and ~ on as the
market moves. New circular contains
two uncrring rules for success" and
full instructions for any one Ia operate
proGtably. All the advantages Of un-
limited capital and careful manipulation
are secured by the combination method.

Murdered and Robbed.

CuEroPA, KANSAS, August ll.-Capt.
John Secrest, the mail contractor on the
route west from Ninita, Indian Terrific
rv, was found some one hundred and
fitv miles west OF Ninlta, day or two
ago, murdered. lie left Ninita few
days before with considerable sum Of
money for. the purpose OF paying off his
mail Carriers. IL is supposed that the DIES.
peradocs who robbed Coneyville short
time ago are the parties who committen
the crime. As the United States Dis
trict Court, which has jurisdiction over
the Territory, is now powerlcsS, owing
to the lack of appropriations by Con
greSs 10 meet the expenses OF marshals,
it is thought these acts are but the be-
ginning OF reign of crime and lawless-
ness in the Territory.

Pitiful Story of DestitutiOn.

CAMBRIDGE, August l0.-A pitiful
case Of destitution presented itself in
this place Yesterday evening IN the shape
OF a family of ten persons who were
travelling eastward in a one-horse wagon,
and in wretched condition, possessing
hardly enough clothing to cover their
backs, and with no food to satiate the
pangs OF hunger. One OF the number,
Drucilla White, widowed daughter,
was the mother of three children, the
youngest being but fifteen months old,
had died few miles west of here, and
they came to town seeking decent IN
terment at the hands OF our Trustees.
The name OF the family was Carr, and
their home was in Page county, Va.
They were on their way to Indiana, but
had only got as far as Columbus when
the baby took sick, and, with the hope
OF arriving at their native place before
death should ensue, they retraced their
steps. They were cared for by our
town authorities and the baby decently
buried.
