Why New Workers Wear Out Early.

Several of our leading doctors give
it as their opinion that no man who
takes his own life is in his right mind.
It is also agreed that the style of living
in New York and the style of doing
business predisposes a man to that
morbid condition that induces him to
take his life. The rush, the drive and
excitement are almost continuous.
Men who are good for anything have
their hands full and their heads full.
The brain is like a hot-box on rail-
road train-only men hold up on the
train, and they don't on the street.
There's hardly prominent man doing
business in the Stock Exchange who
has not work enough on hand for half
q dozen men. As an illustration: The
President OF one of our leading banks
has been under the Doctors care for
over year. He comes down to the
bank every morning, and remains till
five p. m. Beside the immense busi-
ness of his own institution, at eleven
o'clock he goes down to Wall street,
where he is silent partner in a stock
house. At one he is back again at the
bank. His private Office is crowded
with prominent business men of New
York. He has at least six institutions
in which he is q Manager, a Director
or President. These institutions repre-
sent every variety of investment. Be-
side this, he is at the head of an i'm
mense denomination, financially, and
gave, last year, $4,000 to help the ed
ucational interests Of his church out OF
tight place. The different societies
he represents keep him without mo-
ment' 8 leisure through the day, and his
evenings are all consumed in business.
heard him say last week that he never
slept after three o'clock in the morn.
ing. How such man lives with such
a pressure upon him is marvellous. He,
of course, won't live out half his days.
He's q specimen of New York business
life. Our city is full of premature old
men-older at thirty than their fathers
are at sixty; prematurely gray, pre-
maturely bald, limping around with
canes, with their underpinning knocked
out; unable to relish their food unless
it is covered with the most pungent
spices, or washed down with 8 deluge
of liquor. One of the most eminent
physicians said the otherday: mime
tenths of our citizens who 90 to the in.
sane asylum 60 there for want of sleep
and want of nutritious food.' Con-
sidering the style Of our living and of
our business, it's not at all marvel
that we have SO many suicides.--N. r.

Prizes ! lor otaato !

At present potatoes are selling 81
this market for about the same price
as5Wheat, which Is some three times
the price Of corn, and four times the
price Of oats. In some parts Of the
country there IS . potato famine. It
Is almost impossible to procure very
fine potatoes at any price. The quail
ity Of potatoes has fallen of, while the
quality Of other farm crops has im-
proved during the past few years. The
crop most neglected is potatoes. Farm
ers have apparently lost their interest
IN growing good potatoes. Since the
advent of the early rose, no new varie-
ty has been introduced of very great
promise, and that appears to be rum
ming out. The catalogues Of seedsmen
and nurserymen are full OF new varie-
ties of flowers, vegetables, shrubs,
vines and trees, but new varieties Of
potatoes are scarce and OF doubtful
value. 1t is certainly high time to have
9 new potato fever that shall extend all
over the country
Inc suD?ect OF Potatoes IS rarely
mentoned IN agricultural papers. NO
political speaker mention potatoes,
though they talk very learnedly about
corn ana wheat. Az many OF our agrlcul-
-tural fairs no potatoes are visible except
on the taDle OF tne eating-nouses. Inc
poorest article OF tood on any table is
potatoes. fosslbly few farmers raise
potatoes That they care TO exhibit at
fairs. Il they have any that they de-
sire to show they would quite likely
md that no premium was offered Tor
them. 1t is certainly astonishing that
SO little interest IS taken IN raising hne
potatoes seeing that their quality varies

DIED..

At the residence of his son-in-law,
Mr. Penn Radcliffe, near Bartlett,
Lake county, California, November
11th., 1879, Mr.. PRICE SNYDER, aged
about rs years.
Mr. Snider was born and raised
near Arnettsville, this county, where
he raised family of l children, of
whom, with his faithful wife, rest in
the old family burying ground, near
Arnettsville: the others, two daught-
ers, with himself, about seven or eight
years ago moved to California, where
one, Mrs. Radcliffe, died soon after,
leaving but one child, Mrs. johnson
to survive him. He was a member
of the NJ. K. Church about fifty years,
an earnest, devoted Christian, and

THE WEST VIRGINIA JOURNAL OF
EDUCATIoN.--This week we will print
the fifty number of the Jour
nal Of Education, and with that our
contract with President Thompson
for printing it one year expires. So
far as we are positively advised this
will be the last issue of that journal,
though several parties contemplate
purchasing it, all non-residcnts of
this place. The friends of Education
here regret the causes that will dis
continue its publication. Before it
WAS known that the end of the first
year would close its existence, it was
a bright, lively and able journal, 1t
was abundantly demonstrated that
President Thompson was the man to
do good in the Educational field as
an Editor. Pecuniarily, it was Il
very Improbable enterprise to him :;
but it was correspondingly profitable
to us. The proceeds for printing it
have paid our debts, and fitted up
the New DOMINION Office in better
style than any Democratic office
Monongalia has ever had. 1t may
now be said to the shame Of West
Virginia, that she publishes no edu-
cational journal
We also regret its suspension from
a business standpoint. While this
is true, its loss will give us far bet
ter opportunity TO improve the New
DOMINION, and this we are deter
mined to do. Ourjob room has better
selection of material than any of our
neighboring offices and we can prom
Use the public neat and cheap Job
Work of all kinds. The greatest
drawback to our business is the fail
ure of our partrons to pay their bills.
We have many subscribers who keep
paid year in advance and some
who 90 even further than that, but for
each one of these, we have six who
keep year or more behind. With
proper support we can now promise
the Democracy of Monongalia a pa
per they will be proud of. Let all
well wishers Of our success think of
this and consider the trouble they
cause us when they withhold the
payment of their bills. This is not
given as complaint, but simply to
for a paper by paying all subscrip-
tions in advance.

LOCALS FROM THE FLATS.

We learn that our good old friend,
Riley Walker, has traded his farm
on West Run to Judge Ollie, for a
farm in Preston county. He will
start for his future abode in the
Spring, Riley will be considerable
loss to this community in the way of
music. Although his days are
many,when he grasps the drumsticks
his arms become as supple as those
of boy.
Ely Reppert has returned from
Seottdale, Pa, and says business is
booming in that vicinity.
There was spelling school at the
Flats Friday night, December 9TH.
After they spelled one race, which
was by no means a short one, the
audience was favored with short and

1t is reported that the G. p. r. r.

Springhill property, and will begin
work at the Fairchance Furnace on
the 18th day of January, and that
the S. w. r. r. will be extended to
Fairchance at the same time.
Several parties have been on the
Laurel Iron Works property with a
view of buying it. Mr.. Smyth, Of
the firm of Chess, Smyth & Co., will
get out 80 tons of iron ore, and send
it to Pittsburgh, to test the quality
and per cent of the ore in the noun
tain.
Mr. S. Walls showed me speci-
men of ore which he found on the
mountains, which very much resem-
bles the magnetic ore.

well at the mouth of quarry run they
passed through q vein of the mag
netic ore.
George Rumble killed deer across
the river from Costolo's Mill week
or two since. T~o deer have been
seen near the old Henry Clay Fur
mace recently.
Daniel Ryan saw three wild cats
on Quarry run. He thought he would
run them, but they wouldn't run
worth cent.
Will Darnell had terrible en-
counter with wild hog. 1t made II
bound at Wills leg, but he stepped
out Of its way. 1t then whirled and
made another bound, which grazed
his leg. The animal then became
Infatuated, and went for his throat.
He then rammed the end Of his gun
barrel down the animals throat, then
suddenly withdrawing it he hit it
over the head with his gun, which
stunned it until he could shoot it.

heretofore conducted by w McGrew

brings better bargains than credit; and
that goods can be sold much loper
for cash than on the old time plan of
long credits. When those who do pay
for what they buy have to pay also

sell goods at the very lowest living
profit, and to sell for cash or its
equivalent at the time the sale is made.
