we said goodbye. and separated for

EAST RICHLAND.

The winter term of school at the Vine
yard Hill School House, closed on Tues
day, the 10th, with appropriate ceremo
MES, and with a spelling school in the
evening, at which Miss Phila Craig wa.
the successful candidate
The Directors have engaged Mr.. VIII
bur Nichols to teach the Summer tern
OF school, to commence about the 18th
proX.
Mr.. Chas. G. Coffiand and Miss Miriam
Danford, daughter of Intirmary Super.
/ intendent Alex. C. Danford, were united
in marriage Thursday evening, at eight
Io'clock. On Friday afternoon the in.
| fair was held at the residence of Mr.
Geo. Coffiand. We wish the happy cou-
pie unalloyed happiness during their
sojourn in the matrimonial state.
Another still-and at last-Mr. Chas.
w. Lyon and Miss Jennie Bowles were
married On Wednesday afternoon. We
wish you extreme happiness. These
two weddings have been destructive to
the ranks of CHARLES in our town.
April 1st, as usual, will be busy day
here-quite large number of families
will exchange their Llace of habitation.
We think that Mr.. e. ID. Combs has
secured the mill for the coming year.
This will give universal satisfaction as
MI. G. is an old and experienced miller.
| Owing to the inclemency of the wealth
er the Vineyard Hill Literary Society
did not meet on Friday the 18th inst
The meeting on Friday, the 10th, amply
compensated for it however. Among
the performances on that evening, the
essays were all very good, and especial
ly so was an essay entitled "Old Bache-
lors," written by Miss Craig. Several
volunteer declamations were also deliv-
ered-the two best were by Mr.. Dury
Blakemore and Mr.. Harvey Foreman.
The debating classes were also excep-
tionally well filled. Both questions be-
ing handled in an able and artistic man.
ner, and every argument that could be
produced pro or con, was brought out.
The question for the Junior Glass was.
"ls deceit sometimes justifiable 2" and for
the Seniors, Resolved, That as a ma
tion increases in wealth it decreases in
morality" Taken altogether, the meet
ing was pronounced by critics to be
complete success. After a large auanti-
ty of unfinished business had been at
tended to, motion was carried to ad-
journ sine die.
Our town is in about as hot broil as
is supposed to be in the Internal re-
gions, over the late unpleasantness
about the robbery committed on the |
Irishmen-and before it gets cooled |
down there will likely be some lively
times.
The agents of the Historical Publish
ing Society have distributed the long
looked-for History of Belmont and JEFF
ferson Counties, and as far as we have
learned the work proves satisfactory to
all the subscribers. The only defect that
we can see in the book is the engraving
Of the b. 40. Iron Bridge, at Bellaire,
which we think should have been engra-
we'd so as to show more of the bridge
and river than it does
On Friday morning, at Louisville,
Messrs. Sim. Merritt and : Yaus, got
in little difficulty over the
)roil in this town, in which Yaus got

rate all readers, and though tragedy is
disclosed at once, the humor and nara
tive charm which all of Mr.. Aldrich's
stories possess are here in full perfec-
tion. The two serials are enough to
make a notable number of any maga-
zine, but the Atlantic has, in addition,
"Clary's Trial." capital short story by
Rose Terry Cooke; "A Canterbury Pill

Richard Grant Whites English papers !:
"The Lost Occasion" fine poem by
Whittier; some charming "Verses for a
Letter." by Miss Sarah o. Jewett, author
of "Old Friends and New" "Reminis-
cences of Washington" a delightful
chapter of anecdotes and recollections
of Jackson's administration; and large
variety, besides, of poems, essays, re-
views, and the Contributors Club,-all
making an exceptionally good number

The Physical Paradox.

1t has been said that "the blood is the
source of life 1t is truly the source
of disease and death. No life, that is to
say, no healthy tissue can be generated
from impure blood, no organ of the body
can normally perform its function when
supplied with impure blood. The fluid
that should carry life and health to ey-
cry part, carries only weakness and dis
ease. Blood is the source of life, only
when it is pure. If it has become dis
eased, it must be cleansed by proper
medication, else every pulsation of the
human heart sends wave of disease
through the system. To cleanse the
blood of all impurities. use DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgatiye Pellets, the most effectual al
tonic. and cathartic remedies
yet discovered. They are especially ef-
ficient in scrofulous diseases.

Mr.. STEVENS, agent for the famous
Stevens Invalid Chair, of Pittsburgh, and
q brother of the patentee, is in town.
Mr.. Stevens met with no encouragement
in Bellaire, having not sold asingle chair
up to this writing. This blow is all the
harder to bear as he is Just from st.
Clairsville, where he disposed of twelve
of his chairs. But then Mr.. Stevens
should remember that st. Clairsville is
the paradise of lazy men, a regular
rSieepy Hollow" where the inhabitants
pass the long days of winter in endeay-
foring to devise new methods of loafing
and the advent of man who is agent
for chair that will enable them to set
up straight, lay down fiat, or recline at
an angle of forty-fve degrees, and make
all thevarious changes without raising
from their chair, is hailed with delight.
Il Independent.
Mr.. Stevens in referring to the above
item, says that in his eight years expert
ence in selling his chairs he has found
that in the towns containing the largest
number Of lazy men he always sells the
least number of chairs, and that Bel
laire was no exception to the rule. He
further says that great deal of energy
was wasted in the attempt to sell the
editor of the Independent a chair, but
he was too tired to examine into its
merits.

CONGRESSMAN UPDEGRAFF has ac.
complished a good work for the soldiers
in his well-timed and efficient advocacy
of fairer and juster equalization OF
pensions. We have long wondered that
the unfair discrimination in the Pension
schedule were not righted-and more
generous allowance given to the men
who suffer from the disabilities more
literally, and none the less justly pro-
vided for by Mr.. Updegraff's efforts. 1t
is an act for which its author is entitled
to the thanks of the soldiers everywhere.
