The Fern Glen fishing club which
was organized last week started for
Quarry Run on Monday. The names
Of the young men composing the club
so far as we learned are David Chad
wick, c.. O. Henry, P. j. Wright,
Will Shean, Charley Hayes, Charley
Hopkins, Charley Kelley, John Samp-
!. sci, Harry Lazier and Ed. Protzman.
We learn that Ed. took his camera
-obscura along, with the intention of
taking number of Photographic
views from the many picturesques
scenes that abound in the vicinity of
Cheat River There are many per-
sons who no doubt would be glad to
have such photographs as they would
serve as reminders Of the many pleas
ant days spent in camp there We
hope Ed. may get lots of them.

Wednesday with 70 head of fine cat
tie. He shipped by the Baltimore &

hours, to make the same distance.
This arrangement will be a great adj

Dcath in the Woods.

This morning the citizens of Graf
ton were shocked to hear that the
dead body of Samuel Croy, ST., had
been found in Means woods by Mr..
Hall who lives in that neighborhood.
1t appears that Mr.. Croy went to
the woods last Tuesday to make
shingles. During the thunderstorm
that afternoon he had taken refuge
under o chestnut tree. The tree was
struck by lightning killing Mr.. Croy
instantly, as is supposed from the
condition of the tree and the situa-
ton of the body. His absence had
not excited any alarm as his relatives
thought he was staying with the man
for whom he was working. The de
ceased was IA years old and leaves a
family. Undertaken Cole took charge
of the body which is much decom-
posed.-GrGfton Eagle.

THE ELRcTIoN. L. Keenan, was
elected County Superintendent at the
election last week by a majority of
II. While it may seem strange that
man of Supt. Wade's reputation
should be defeated, it is not at all
surprising to those acquainted with
the facts. The writer heard Mr.
Wade state in numerous public meet
ings last winter that he would not be
candidate again and many of the
voters did not consider him as such.
His name was used though it was
reluctantly that he gave his consent
to have IL used.
Mr., Keenan, is q scholarly and am,
bilious young man and we hope will
keep the schools of this county at
their present standard. Mr.. Wade
has signilied his intention to render
him all the assistance he can to so
maintain them.

WE are in receipt of long com
munieation from some unknown per
son giving a numerous description OF
an ARRAY in Battelle between two of
feers who levied on a horse, and an
old man and woman who owned the
horse. The article is too long for our
columns and is not of much interest
anyway. The mere fact of the man
and woman resisting the officers is
enough to put them within the
clutches Of the law and they will no
doubt find it out. The officers we're
simply discharging their duty with a
view of collecting the honest debts of
the persons and the law will uphold
them. People who defy the law may
expect to be dealt with roughly and
they have but little sympathy when
they are overtaken.

Quarreiing.

There are some natures so harmoni.
| ously balanced as to be naturally
averse to incidental and abnormal ex.
element. There are others, again, in a
state of perpetual and sudden alterca.
ton, flying to extremes, especially in
emotional directions. But the vast ma.
jority of people hover between these two
poles, and, especially in the matter oi
quarreling, abandon themselves to cir
cumstances.
Now if it could only be well under
stood that quarreling is, as we may say,
always blunder, and that it is almost
invariably avoidable, it is clear that q
little precaution might remove, to great
extent, this trouble from life. 1t takes
two to make quarrel, and you may re.
fuse to quarrel if you like.
The more You quarrel the more unlike.
" you are to convince your opponent
that he is is in the wrong. It is in the
nature of quarrels that both disputants
imagine they are in the right Recrimi
nation never contains argument that has
the least effect, and the only result Of
the quarrel is to waste large portion oi
time in proftless irritation and to iniure
ones health.
The tendency to let any dispute drift
into quarrel is very much matter oi
habit, but it is a habit that NAV be
greatly modified, if not greatly cured
We should teach ourselves. to begin
with, that moderation in language and
temper is evidence, not of weakness OF
character, but of the reverse. While O
dispute is yet in embryo moderation and
self control may remove it, but when il
passes that stage-when it is developed
into quarrel-then all hope of setting
the matter to rights is at an end. The
prudent person will now simply with.
draw himself from the affair. instead Of
needlessly embittering himself in use
less struggle.

spent Blister Ne Again. ),

A young wife In Michigan had Just got
settled in her new home. All seemed
fair and promising, for she did not know
her husband was drunkard. But one
night he came home at very late hour,
and much the worse for liquor.
When he staggered into the house, the
wife, who was greatly shocked, told him
he was sick, and to lie down at once: and
in moment or two he was comfortably
settled on the sofa in drunken sleep.
His face was reddish purple, his breath
ing was heavy, and altogether he was a
pitiable looking object. The doctor was
sent for post-haste and mustard applied
to his feet and hands. When the doctor
came and felt his pulse, and examined
him and found that he was only drunk.
he said:
He will be all right in the morning. F"
But the wife insisted that he was very
sick, and that severe remedies must be
used.
You must shave his head and apply
blisters," she urged, "or / will send for
some one who will. y
The husbands head was accordingly
shaved closely and blisters applied. The
patient lay all night in drunken sleep.
and, Notwithstanding the blisters were
eating into his flesh, it was not until near
morning that he began to beat about.
disturbed by pain.
About daylight he awoke to most un-
comfortable consciousness of blistered
agonies.
What does it mean?" he cried, put
ting his hands to his bandaged head.
Lie still-you mustn't STIR" said the
wife. "You have been very sick
"I'm not sick"
"Oh, yes you are; you have brain
fever. We have worked with you all

poor victim; whats the matter with my
feet?"
They are all blistered."
Well, I'm better now; take off the
blisters, do" he pleaded, piteously.
de was in most uncomfortable state
his head covered with sores and his
feet and hands were still worse,
Dear, he said, groaning, 'tif should
ever get sick in this way again, don't be
alarmed and send for the doctor, and
above all, don't blister me again
oh, indeed l will-all that saved YOU
were the blisters, and if you ever should
have another such spell 1 should be
more frightened than ever-for the ten

to die, unless the severest measures are
used"

to say, ne 'ieUer had another attack.
