Since the foregoing was put in type,
the following letter from the Secretary
OF War was received:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON Cry, Nov. Il, -.
Hon. /. J. Warner, W. G., Marietta, Ohio:
SIR-Acknowledging the receipt of
your letter dated the eth instant, re-
questing TO be informed when work will
be commenced on the ice harbOr, by the
Government, at Marietta, Ohio; | beg
to inform YOU that the Chief of Engin-
eerS has been instructed TO commence
ut once.
Very respectfully, your Obt. servant,
GEO. W. MCCRARY,
Secretary Of Udr.
Now bring out the big guns and let
US jubilate in earnest.
For some years there have been Sab
bath School exercises held regularly
each Sunday for the children Of Gravel
Hill, that part of the city being too far
from the central portion Of town for
small children to attend the schools held
in the churches. At first the school was
a union affair, but year or two ago. the
Presbyterian element predOminating i'm
the school, it was takenin special charge
bv that denomination. Il has always
been in remarkably tlourishing condi-
ton, il the unfavorable circumstances
under which il has labOred are taken into
consideration. Atfrst meetings were held
in various small halls, but when the new
Fifth Ward school house was completed
vacant room was takenthere, and a reg
ular mission school organized under the
efficient superintendency Of DIR. J. G.
Mccullough. Lately the School Board
needing the room, have revoked the
permission given the Sabbath-school to
meet there, and the patrons and officials
are looking about for a favorable site
for location for a building. In the
mean time II is hoped that the Board Of
Education will not ruin the school bv
insisting on their order until house is
erected. The u. =. Mission School
on Indian Run, in the Fourth ward, has
very good house, and the Episcopa-
lians have lately built a charming little
chapel on Jefferson street, but both Of
these fail to accommodate the large juve-
nile population Of the north end.
John McMullen, a prisoner sent from
this city to the penitentiary at Column
bus about a year since, died on last
Wednesday morning in that institu-
ton.
Capt. r. 7. Deyries, general agent Of
the b. * o. Il. K. Co. at Wheeling, Ben
wood and this city, has been elected
president OF the Bellaire Gaslight and
Coke Company, vice f. G. Morgan,
Esq, deceased.
Ex-Sheriff w. c. Cochran and Prof.
John Wallace have contracted for ma
ehinery, which they expect to be COM
pleted in few weeks, and will engage
at some point on the b. 4 5. w. r. X. in
cutting slaves and heading for nail kegs
and barrels. Both these gentlemen are
thoroughly familiar with the business in
which they are engaging, and they are
going into a country where timber of
good quality is abundant, and facilities
for shipment to good markets conye-
nient Their project will add much to
the business Of the road, and benefit
the section in which they locate.

About . o'clock Thursday morning

a large crowd soon gathered, but owing
10 the scarcity Of water and a stiff wind

the building were abandoned, and the
flames continued until the whole build

Report OF Commissioners of PEN
siOns.


WAsuNGrOS, November 2l.-lIOn. j.
A. Bentley, Commissioner OF Pensions,
has completed his annusl report to the
Secretary Of the Interior. lt show that
on the SOth OF June last there were
242, ,755 persons in the Unit u States re-
ceiying pensions from the Government.
The pension list Is now larger than at
any previous time. The present list
cOmpOsses l25, $50 army invalid pen
siOners, Sl.l74 army widows, children
and ependent'relatiyes, l,S44 navy in
ySlids, LIZ navy widows, ll,62l
surviving soldiers OF war,
S,Sl2, aud 2l,l94 widows OF deceased
soldiers of that war. During the year
81 $40 new names were added TO the list
and 9OS names which had previously
been dropped from the rolls, mainly
from failure for three years 10 claim
their pensions, were restored, and 49,
497 were for various reasons, dropped.
The aggregate amount OF one years pen
siOns to to all on the roll was S625, 1885,
742 IS, but the actual annual payment
exceeds that sum by several million
dollars. This arises trOm the fact that
nearly all newly admitted army and
navy cases have several years accrued
pensions due al the time of admission,
which is paid at the first payment

OUR OFFICE-sEEHEEs.
.fr, ,Tt,NnpnnNnUf

There are said to be no less than
twenty-three candidates for legislative
Offices in this county at the present
time, and the number will be increased
largely between this and the time the
legislature meets. This is a sad com
mentary on the manly independence OF
the people OF this county, and We sup
pose that other counties in the State are
in about the same condition. The re-
vlval of business has furnished employ
ment TO all, even the tramp, but now
the number OF political tramps seems 10
have largely increased. Some of them
are deserving men, but we are
sorry to say that most of them are
not the kind of men that ought to
be selected to fill offices OF that,
or any kind. They have no particular
qualifications for the positions they ask
to fill. Cheek is about the only thing
they have in abundance. Some OF them
are chronic seekers for position, but
some OF them are just entering on their
course Of boring their friends and hum
bugging the public. They ought to be
discouraged-taught to rely on them
selves for a livelihood. The whole lot
OF them would be better men and more
useful citizens if their desire for Office
could be entirely eradicated, and they
could content themselves to work for a
living as the majority of men do.
