Sunday School Institute.
From our Special Correspondent.


The st. Clairsville Presbyterial S. S.
Institute held at Nottingham Church,
August "a, was a pleasant and interest
ing occasion.
Through the kindness of Henderson
Hays, Esq, the efficient Superintendent
of the Crabapple Sabbath School, your
correspondent was favored with seat
in his wagon, and made his first visit to
this pleasant locality. We were much
pleased with the appearance of the
church as we'll us the surrounding coun-
try, in which there was every evidence
of intelligence and prosperity among
the inhabitants. The day being excess
sively warm, and from other reasons,
there was not full enjoyment of the
exercises by the persons present, but
they were appreciated, and care had
been taken to make them profitable to
those interested in Sabbath School work.
Two essays were read by the ladies', one
by Mrs. Sadie Oglevee, and one ON Sab
bath work by Miss Flora L. Grimes. Too
much praise cannot be awarded these
ladies for the manner in which they dis
the duties assigned them, and
under circumstances which rendered the
task difficult, as the house WAS large and
and much effort was required
for clear and distinct enunciation. The
posture assumed was graceful and the
reading was good. There WAS also an
address by Miss Lizzie T. McFadden,
which was received with favor These
exercises contributed largely to the
pleasure and enjoyment of the audience
1t was our intention to report the eXer-
,ises in detail for the CHRONICLE but !
failing to get the desired information on !
some subjects, and also finding that de-
served personal mention of each one !

participating, would consume too much
space, We were forced, much to our re-
gret. to condenSe our report for your
columns. Quite number of distinguish
ed ministers were present, and were
elected corresponding members of the
Institute. Mr.. o. c. Bethel, reporter
for the GAINESVILLE Enterprise was also
present, but like your correspondent,
was unable to report in detail
The Institute was organized by elect
ing Rev. DR.. Dixon, President, and J. l..
Ro0b, Esq, Secretary. The address of
welcome was made by Rev. DR.. Craw-
ford, pastor of the Church. Miss -
kirkpatrick acted as organist, and a
gOodly number of young ladies and gen.
tlemen constituted the choir. The mu-
sic was complimented by number of
persons, as were also the essays and ad-
dress. The fullest hospitality was ex-
tended to visitors, and ample provision
was made for man, woman and beast,
and all without money or price. We
were favored with an invitation to the
table of Mr.. and Mrs Kirkpatrick, and
as representative of the editor of this
paper, adopted his custom of employing
a large portion of time in putting the
dinner where it would do the most
good, and the food prepared was as nice
as could have been desired
Suffice it to say that the meeting was
pleasant and profitable one to pastors,
superintendent, teachers, pupils and
friends, and We trust that the organs of
the Church will give ample space for re-
port in full, which we presume will be
be sent in by the worthy Secretary.

The Remarseless Old SkinfIint.

The st. Clairsville Gazette, concerning
English's wholesale foreclosures of mort
cages in lS77-7s, adopts the common
doctrine of sharpers- that whatever Is
legal is right. There is no doubt what
ever that every man is entitled to recov-
er money advanced on mortgages, and
if the mortgage debtor can not pay him
it is his privilge to fOIeclose. But there
are different ways of doing things. Rich
investors who have any bowels of COM
passion in them are willing, when the
security for their eventual repayment
is good, to make extensions of time or
renewals of mortgage; only a hard, re-
morseless skinflint will go for his pound
of flesh as soon as the law gives him
a chance, Indifferent whether the victim
survives or perishes. The late Thomas
II. Genin, who WAS the heaviest money
lender and wealthiest man who ever
lived in Belmont county, and whom
many ignorant people thought a skin
revulsion like that of 1857, for instance,
to opress the poor. The records publish
ed by the Cincinnati Commercial show
that most of the foreclosures of English,
some 500 in all, bear date during 1877
and 1S7S-years when real estate was
everywhere depressed, when persons in
embarrassed circumstances suffered as
such persons never before suffered in
this-country and when forced sale
was simply sacrifice. 1t was a period
when a conscienceless Shylock, with am
pie means, could make plenty OF money
by ruthlessly slaughtering his debtors
and getting hold of their property at
panic prices. The facts presented by
the Commercial show that this is the
sort of man Mr.. English is, and thus
it is explained why it is that he thought
it prudent to iron-plate the doors and
shutters of his residence. The CONNER
cial says:
"He was unsparing and relentless, and
whenever there was failure to pay ac-
cording to the contract, he pounced upon
the delinquent with foreclosure, eject
ed him when he did not voluntarily go,
and in many cases Lad the wicked
shrewdness to bid in the property under
mortgage, receiving personal judgment
against his victim, and thus enriching
himself, not only by the amount that
had been paid on the property, but by
the recovery of the property and judg-
ment note with which he could pursue
his victim, after having skinned him of
all he possessed"
There is, of course, nothing illegal
about all this, but because the law can
not reach such man there is no rea-
son why public contempt should not
seize him. If what the Commercial
says is true, and its tale is fortified by
the records of the courts, Mr.. English is,
just the sort of man who ought to be
pilloried by the rising generation. There
is too much admiration for mere wealth.
If the millionaire Vice-Presidential can
didate of Indiana has been fattened upon
the blood of the poor, the people ought
to know it.

COLERAEN.

The great event OF the past week was
the excursion to Niagara Falls. 4 very
large number of our citizens beheld the
wonderful sight. They also visited To-
rOnto, and like Vallandigham, placed
themselves under the "1Egis of the Brit
ish Lion" The Evening Telegram, of
Toronto, says Il very large excursion Wis
tied their city, principally from Belle
vile county, Ohio" We learn from the
eXcusionists that there were % cars in
their train. drawn by two engines, when
they arrived at Niagara. They enjoyed
themselves hugely-many of them turn
ed the contents of their bread-baSkets
into Lake Ontario. Mr.. Healy, the man.
ager, receives unbounded praise for the
care and kindness extended to those un-
der his charge-but they have not Ian
guage sufficient to express their diSap-
probation of the treatment received on
the return trip. The Conductor desert
ed them, and left them in charge of a
brakeman, who allowed them to suffer
for want of water.
Some of our heavy farmers have fin
ished threshing their crops. John Har-
ris had nearly 800 bushels of wheat,
and Judge Barton nearly 100 bushels,
which was grown ON about 80 acres of
land, sown broadcast and no fertilizers
used. Jefferson Brown had over 1000
bushels on his farms.
Gen. Capehart and Judge Gray ad-
dressed the Garfield Club at Pleasant
Grove last Thursday night. The Club
will meet at Prospect School House on

Susan Lawson, a highly respected wo-
man, and wife of Jesse Lawson COLOR

A grocer in ST. Clairsville, has report
ed that the extra premium offered for
butter at the approaching Fair is to go
to the persons offering it, and not to the
exhibitor. From a recent conversation
with Pres't McKelvy we learn that this
is an error; the successful competitor
will receive the extra premium of So
and the regular premium offered by the
Society. We also learn from the PreSi-
dent that a big effort is being made to
Danish everything from the grounds of
an exceptional character, and make ii
exclusively an agricultural fair. b.

IT is very strange that everybody who
heard Wade Hampton should have mis-
understood him, and the editor of the
Gazette should know exactly what he
said at Staunton. The extract which
the Gazette denounces as base forgery
is certified to as being correct by four
leading DemocratS-one the editor of
the Staunton VindicatOr, the leading
Democratic paper, all of whom heard the
speech. The Virginian, one of the pa
pers which reported and published
the speech, challenges contradiction of
its report as follow: Senator Hampton
spoke to between 1,5OO and 1000
"persons, nineteen-twentieths of whom
were his political sympathizers. Let

not use, in substance, the language in
question, and see how many respecta-
bic persons in Staunton would be will
to sign it. We invite him to make the

THE Cincinnati Commercial has beer

THE Cincinnati Commercial has been
prying again into Mr.. English's personal
affairs in an indecorOus way that will pain
our Democratic brethren of the press.
In reply to its previous publication a
defence was put forward in weekly
Indianapolis paper, regarded as Mr..
English's organ, that he was really a
loser ON the property bought i'll by him
at foreclosure sales under mortgages
held by him. In reply to this the Com
mercial publishes detailed list of the
sheriff's deeds, with the sums laid there
on, held by Mr.. English, as compared
with the assessed value OF the property
in 1879. These sheriffs deeds are for
392 pieces of property, the former owners
of which were sold out by Mr.. English,
nearly all within the past two years.
Property is assessed in Indiana, as
in this state, at what it is worth
at fair sale and not with re-
gard to forced sale. The assessment
of 1879, which is selected for comparison,
is stated to be the lowest for fifteen
years, the actual commercial value be-
ing estimated at one-third higher. Out
of the 392 pieces of real estate iii the
Commercials list in only twelve cases
was Mr. English's bid higher than the
assessed value of the property, according
to the appraisement, is 1924, 800, the
amount paid for it by Mr.. English was
$129,293 10, showing balance on the
transaction in his favor of S195.5O6 81.
Inasmuch as the Democratic platform
pledges the Democratic party to protect
the w0rkingman "alike from the CORN
Grants and the commune" the grooms
of the party should look after the case
of Mr.. English. If he is not full
feathered "COrmorant," there is none in
