Your paper is essentially an IN
dependent one, as it's title imports.
l notice you give all sides a fair
hearing. This is what the people
want, and this is why your jour
nal has been so successful, and may
reasonably expect to reap greater
pecuniary rewards, as time rolls
on. My object now is to say,
briefly, something about our Judge
to be elected. Every man, woman
and child are interested in this
matter. The people have called
upon the Hon. Jas. III. Grove to
accept this position. He has re-
piled in manner worthy of him
self, of the great soul he possesses.
He says, in so may words, place
me upon the bench untrammelled
and l will accept, with full ap-
probation of the responsibilities.
This is full or meaning. This is
the man the people want, hence
the call upon him. Will not, can
not the people Of this Judicial Dis
trict recog niZe and see at once that
in him we have a man of high and
generous impulses a man of lofty
thought one who can rise above
all prejudice, and do exact justice
to rich and poor, hi. h and low,
corporate. or otherwise. We ask
again, will not the people, as one
man, rise. and by their votes place
him upon the bench, and thus
honor one of their gifted sons, and
by so doing, honor themselves.
Mr.. Grove is of the people, and is
with the people, and our people
mean to support him.

HedgesvilIe Township.

The will be a general turn out
of the school patrons of Hedges
vile District on Saturday, Oct.
9th, at 2 O'Clock to meet the Board
of Education, and TO demand of
them an increase in the salary OF
teachers.
The salary for teaching has been
less in this district for several
years than in any other district in
the county. This has caused some
OF our best teachers 10 leave the
district and to seek employment
elsewhere. If this drain is not
stopped by some means, in short
time our schools will be in the
hands of the lowest grade of teach

HON. J. N. CAMDEN, publishes a
letter in the Parkersburg Walking
Beam of last week, which complete
ly refules, and must forever set at
rest, in the minds of all honorable
men at least, the baseless charges
which have been circulated in regard
to his position touching the produc-
ing interests of this State. 1t is.a
frank, open and manly letter, con-
cealing nothing, and stating facts as
they existed. Mr.. Camden has done
more for the development of the hid
den wealth and resources of West
Virginia than any other man in the
State, and if his ample means and
fine business abilities are not now as
fully as heretofore employed in that
way, it is because, as shown in
his letter, he has been compelled to
turn them in another direction. We
will print portion of his letter in
our next issue, as matter of general
interest to the people.

OUR NEIGHBORS

Judge Weisel, of Hagerstown, died
at his residence in that place on Sat
urday, aged II years.
Hagerstown has had a trial of
steam fire engines. The contest was
between the Silsby 1.-THE same as
owned by the Corporation of Mar
tinsburg) and the La France. The
tests were: First, throwing two
streams horizontally through $50
feet of hose with one-inch noZzles !;
second, throwing the same streams
vertically third, each engine doing
the same thing alone for fifteen con-
secutive minutes, the streams be-
ing measured; fourth, throwing a
single stream through 500 feet of
hose with II inch nozzle, both hori-
zontal and vertical. In all these
tests, except the first and last hori-
zontal ones, the Silsby steamer threw
much farther than the La France,
the difference in one instance being
over fifty-four feet. The purchas-
ing committee, who had charge of
the trial, having collated there
facts as to time, distance,
steam pressure, water pressure and
all the other points of the tests de-
cided in favor of the Silsby steamer,
and it will be purchased for the Jun
ior Fire Company. There was much
| nj n in ttsin
on both afternoons there was large
crowd of citizens present at the
place of trial.
A few nights ago Mrs. Sales, an
aged lady living in Hagerstown, got
up in the night and fell down stairs,
cutting large and deep cash in her
head and bruising herself very much.
She is now very low, and there are
but slight hopes of her recovery.
The Shepherdstown Register says :
On Friday, September 10th, Sallie,
aged about twelve years, daughter
of Mr.. William Deck of our town,
was amusing herself by sitting in a
peach tree picking and eating peach
es, when she lost her balance and
fell, striking the fence and one of
the palings ran into her leg, making
a very ugly wound, which was sew
ed up by DR.. Reynolds. The child
| seemed to be getting along very well
| until a few days ago, when the
wound gathered and became very
painful, when symptoms of inward
spasms became apparent, and on
Tuesday morning she died.
The Shepherdstown Register says.
on Friday evening last Mr.. Hagan
Lemen, son-in-law of Joseph Ran
dali, Esq, living about three miles
above town, gave his little daughter
aged six years teaspoonful of worm
seed oil which he had borrowed from
a neighbor, and which he thought
was vermifuge. The child immedi.
ateiy began vomiting, and although
medical aid was summoned at once
died on Monday morning.

A Learned Nevada Justice.
Carson New. Appeal

A few weeks ago Attorney Gen.
eral Murphy received letter from
a justice of the peace in the eastern
part of the state inquiring ifa man
had the right to demand a Jury
trial in murder case and if five
jurors would be enough. Mr.. Muir
ply looked upon so absurd a
question as a sell and paid no at
tention TO the matter. Yesterday
he learned that the justice had
tried a man for murder with FIVE
jurors and acquitted him.

Hon. W. 7. WILEY, of Morgan
town, addressed Republican meet
ing at the courthouse in this place
Friday night of last week. Mr..
Wiley is one of the ablest men in
the Republican party in this State,
and his speech was an able one, in
which he discussed the principles of
the political parties of the country
in a digniied and statesmanlike
manner. He had large and atten-
tive audience, and his remarks were
well received. Mr.. Wiley is states
man of the old school, heightened
and gentlemanly, and relies upon
dignified argument and logical rea-
soning to convince his hearers, rath-
er than upon the usual clap-trap in
dulged in by stump orators. The
country would be all the better with
more such men.

Rain in tho Heart.

The following lines were found 10y q
Confederate soldier ia deserted house
on the Peninsula, Va:
Into each life some rain must fall"
II this were all, Oh if this were al,
That into each life some rain must fall,
There were fainter sobs in the poets
rhyme,
There were fewer wrecks on the shore Of
time.
But tempests of WOO pass over the soul
Since winds of anguish we cannot con
troll.
And shock after shock we arc called to
bear,
Till the lips are white with the hearts
despair.
The shores Of time with wrecks arc strewn
Unto the ear comes ever n moan
Wrecks OF hopes that set sail ia glee,
Wrecks of love sinking silently.
Many are hid from the human eye,
Only God knoweth how deep they lie
Only God heard when arose the cry
Help me to bear-Oh help me to die
"Into each life some rain must fall"
If this were all, Oh if this were ali.
Yet there's refuge from storm aud
blast;
'Gio'ia Patrir well reach it at last.
"Be strong, be strong" to my heart III

The pearl IN tho wounded shell doth lie;
Days Of sunshine are given to all.
