There seems to be some feeling concern.
ing the articles appearing in the INTEL.
llaRScRR for some weeks back concerning
the rolling mill, the strike occurring there.
It's cause, &C., and ono Of the officers feels
aggrieved that he was not consulted before
the articles were written. All we have To
say is, that it was none oi:our business, as
we had nothing to do with the articles
mentioned, and no doubt, now, everything
is satisfactory, as an explanation was made
in yesterdays paper.
Yesterday it was our pleasure to be
favored with a visit from S. B. Swan n
friend a neighbor of the olden time. He
is one of Pennsylvania sturdy farmers,
and an honest man. He is attending the
meeting Of the Synod Of the Presbyterian
Church, being ruling Elder Of the same.
We together visited tho residence Of s. a.
CocEayne, who took pleasure in showing
Us his line thoroughbred sheep. Mr.Swaa
Is an old sheep raiser, and he gives II as
his opinion that Mr.. Cockayne has deser-
Vedly earned the reputation he has as a
sheep breeder. - -
We next visited the Penitentiary. where
wetound everything In the best Of order.
from the highest Official 10 the very Lowest
convict. The officials pride themselves In
Keeping themselves in order, and eyery-
thing around them just the same. The
guards are gentlemanly and respectful 10
visitors, and ready and willing at ali times
70 give any information desired, We will
not attempt to give description OF all we
saw there, butwe were forcibly impressed
that the business boom had reached tbe
inside OF even our State prison. Every.
thing Is carried on with perfect system.
and the faces ofall wore pleased and
contented look. ''.
The Webster Wagon Company arc now
turning out wagons at the rate Of fem ner
day, and they can scarcely supply the de.
mand. The whip factory still continues
to carry on branch establishment in
town, as they cannot be furnisbed
with convict labor sufficient to supply The
demands OF their increasing trade The
broom factory is still in full blast, and w.
b. Humphrey is always on hand. ready
and willing to tell all he knows abont
making brooms. '''1'
We just glanced at tho cigar factory.
where we saw Mr.. A. Weide6usch al bis
post. The large dining room was In the
very best OF style, and in short, every.
thing about the entire building had n
cleanly appearance, and we cannot see
anything 70 hinder the health Of the in
mates being good. -
We noticed this evening four new con.
yicts being marched to tho prison br fonr
guards. They were United States prison.
ers, sent from Clarksburc Their names
were Ed. Mcbride, Ed. brown, William
Cline and Noah Cline, all natiyes Of
Hampshire county, and were Sentenced
Tor twelve, nine, six and sixteen months
respectively. This Is the fate Of those
who engage in Illicit distiiline. The
names oi the guards were ], w. Hspperty,
w. Teter, j. Alexander and O. III. Uamn
all from Clarksburg.
We are sorry to chronicle the death of
Elisha Lindsey, one Of our oldest and
most respected citizens, which ocepTrsd
very suddenly at about 4 O'clock vesteT.
Gay evening. he ate q very hearty din
death was lively andin the best OF spirits.
his death, no doubt, resulted from the in
larles received few weeks ago by his be-
ing thrown from his buggy. Ills funeral
VIII take place on Thursday. Deceased
was in his 18th year.
