THE farmhouse belonging to d. H.
Tweedy, in Smithfeld township, Jeffer-
son county, from which he removed to
st. Clairsville, with contents, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire on last Tuesday
at about 1 o'clock P. NJ. The location of
the fire when observed and the the dis,
covery of fruit can containing a small
quantity of turpentine and some other
infiammable Ingredients, fully confirms
the suspicion that an incendiary had
been at work, as there had been no fire
in the house for four days previous
There is no clue to the perpetrator Of
the deed, except that there was woman
or man in women's clothes, seen neal
the premises few minutes before tht
fire was discovered. Mr.. Tweedy wa
absent at the time visiting his family il
this place, and arrived at his old hom
just in time to stand by the burning
embers. All was consumed. Loss to house
contents and damage to his apiary
between $1,000 and 81 300. No insuI
ance on either the house or apiary.

A CIRCUS agent came to town last
week, invested fifteen dollars in bulle-
tin board, rented ground upon which to
place it, and upon it had displayed illu-
minated posters which cost one hundred
dollars or more. Before he and his bill
wagon had gotten ten miles away, boys
had ripped great slices out of the bills,
and had practically destroyed one hun
dred dollars worth of property, and this,
toe, in broad daylight, and in defiance of
law which imposes severe penalties
This has got to be serious evil in this
town, and the surprising part of it is
that there is no attempt upon the part
of the officers to check it. If some one
should be robbed of ten dollars some
night, the officers would take some nott
of it; but they permit these little van
dals to march around in the wake o
bill posters and destroy hundreds o.
dollars worth of property at noonda.

that their copy of the CHRONICLE is
read every week by a number of their
neighbors who do not subscribe for it
that some 60 several miles to the post

This is hardly fair to the publisher, and
certainly not fair to the man who pays

WE hope the editor of the Bellaire
Independent felt better after discharging
his ill-natured and uncalled-for sneers
at the st. Clairsville railroad. Bellaire
people are peculiar. The only highways
leading into their town were built by
the capital of others. The town owes
all its prosperity to the capital of the
strangers who built the Central Ohio
and the Cleveland & Pittsburgh rail
roads. The opening of these caused 9th.
er foreign capital to build the nail
works and other factories, and thus an
important town has grown up. But for
the 100000 put into the former by Bel
mont county, its construction between
GAINESVILLE and Bellaire would have been
greatly delayed. Forthwith its people
attack the pockets of those who fur.
nished the 100000, and insist that they
shall remove the county buildings down
there, and those they are seeking to de.
spoil shall contribute their full share OF
the cost of this great Bellaire enter
prise. OF. OldlTSNlllo ptOple, ulldlueu u

they are not only out of place, but i'm,

Farmers that try to sell white butter
are all of the opinion that dairying does
not pay. If they would use Wells, Rich
ardson & Cos Perfected Butter Color,
and market their butter in perfect con-

but it will not pay to make any but the
best in color and quality. This color is

Just published, a new edition Of DR.. CUL-
vERwRLL's CELEBRATED ESSAY on the radical
cure (without medicine) of SPERMAToRRRGA
or Seminal Weakness, Invointary Seminal
Losses, IMPoTENCY, Mental and Physical In
capacity, Impediments to Marriage, etc.; also,
CONSUMPTION, EPrIEPSY and FITS, induced
by self-indulgence OF sexual extravaganza, &c.
The celebrated author, in this admirable
Essay, clearly demonstrates, from a thirty
years successful practice, that the alarming
consequence of self-ahuse may be radically
cured without the use of internal medicine or
the application of the knife; pointing out a
mode of cure at once simple, certain, and ef-
fectual, by means of which every sufferer,
no matter what his condition may be, may
be, may cure himsel: cheaply, privately,
and radically.
