WOODLAND, Dec. 29th., 1879.
We were very much pleased with
your paper last week. We thought
you inter ded to rest during the holt
days, bat was surprised on consult
ing your columns to find it was not
your intention so to do; and was glad
to learn that the DOMINION will all be
printed at home in the future.
Our Literary Society is fourishing
and We expect the Smithsonians
down to contest with US the fourth
Saturday night in January.

Christmas passed very quietly in
this section. There was nothing OF

very unpleasant, changing from rain
to snow in the afternoon.

President THOMPSON IN WHEELING.
HIS LECTURE PRONOUNCED AHEAD
OF BEECHER' s.-Presiden Thompson
delivered his lecture on the "Sover-
eighty of Manhood" in Wheeling, on
Tuesday evening. The following is
what the Register says about it:
THE lecture delivered by Rev. j. II.
Thompson, President of the " eat
Virginia State University, at Thorn
son NJ. f. Church last evening, drew
together an audience of intelligent
and appreciative ladies and gentle
men, about half as large, or hardly
half as large as reasonably might be
expected, and much smaller than the
lecture merited. We heard several
persons institute comparisons between
this address and that of Mr.. Beecher
on the "Reign of the Common PEG
pie" and all agreed that Mr.. Thomp-
sons discourse on "The Sovereignty
Manhood" was far superior to the
other. The orator showed less fire
than is his wont, as was natural in
the absence of that enthusiastic mag
netism possessed by a large audience.
In addition to this, the speaker was
suffering from severe nervous head
ache. Yet he became at times elo-
quent, rising with his subject to for
getfulness of self, and we think the
most of the audience will pronounce
the effort the most brilliant they have
heard for a long time.

THE New ORcHEsTRA.-We learn
that the arrangements for organizing
the new orchestra in town are assum-
ing a tangible shape, and by next
week we can probably give the names
Of the members and various other
particulars about it. The organiza-
ton will be composed of the best tai
snt here, and with the proper stick
te-a-tiveness can be made a success.
It will supplant Kramer or any other
musician here. We are glad of this
and will aid and abet the enterprise
in any reasonable way. There will
be ten members and that number of
instruments will make good music.
An entertainment will be given soon
to help procure instruments for those
not already supplied.

DAMAGE TO LOCK No. 9. "A report
reached here last week that portion
of the Lock wall had fallen down
and practically ruined the handsome
structure. Later reports indicate
that the wall had not fallen, but that
the filing between the walls was
made of worthless cement, which did
not harden, but gradually washed
out to such an extent as to cause one
of the walls to crack for distance Of
over thirty feet. There has never
been steamboat locked through vet
and this thing in its present condi-
ton and with no dams below is an
obstruction or nuisance. A cores
pendent of the Wheeling Register,
writing from this place says the fol
lowing about it: This lock and
dam, as the public pretty generally
knows, was constructed by the gov
eminent at an enormous cest--some
thing over two hundred thousand
dollars-and was supposed to be as
durable as the West Virginia hills,
hut it turns out that the masonry,
which presents an exterior that ex
cites the admiration of everybody
is by no means what it seems to be.
1t has always been surmised that
there have been immense jobs in this
work, and that the governments
money was either stolen or squander-
ed, but the people have held their
peace, lest appropriations should be
defeated, But now with a two hun
dred thousand dollar obstruction in
the river TO prevent its use as thor
oughfare for trade and traffic and nc
prospect OF slackwater navigation, Il
seems about time for somebody to
speak out. Before the lock gave way
quite a number Of traits were foated
down the river by our timber men,
Geo. w. Johnson, John w. Corothers
and other climber kings" of this re
gion are ut this time somewhere dowr
on the Ohio, where they have convey
ed their timber TO market. They will
doubtless return laden with spoils
and the business boom will be KEEP
booming a while longer, anyhow"

THE LICENSE QUEsTIoN-CoUETY
CoURT.-Court has been in session
for nearly two weeks, though on &C
count of a press on the Clerk, and
the constant use of the book, we will
not be able to give the full proceed
ings until next week. The action Of
the Grand Jury attracted more at
tention, had more effect, and created
more feeling than anything that has
occurred here for long time. One
hundred and nineteen indictments
were found, all but four of them
against the saloon keepers, for selling
liquors in violation of the. law. And
we have information that over one
hundred more were not reported.
This produced a panic, as well it
might, and on Friday, the Goth ult.,
the proprietors of all the saloons
voluntarily surrendered their respec-
tive licenses to the Court, and ex-
pressed their intention to discontin-
ue the sale of whiskey, giving as
reason, that it was next to impossi-
BILE to sell without running 8 great
risk of violating the law. Inasmuch
as the traffic has been suppressed but
few of the cases will be prosecuted.
Morgantown is now without licens-
ed saloon or drinking place. Let the
officers keep an untiring vigil on the
Jug lines and walking taverns that
no doubt will soon spring up. Ii
cense is dead here, and will not be
revived unless a social revolution
occurs. 1t died by it's own hand,
and it's advocates have no right to
complain of it's demolition. No one
will think of making contest again

OK CHRISTMAS EVE the NJ. f. Sun
day School engaged in a most inter
esting christmas Service" consist
ing OF singing and responsive read
ing, at the close Of which the chill
dren of the Infant Department re-
ceived the customary gift Of fruits
and sweet meats. Notwithstanding
the excessive rain most Of the "buds
Of promise" put in an appearance.
These exercises took place in the su-
dienee room of the Church. On the
same evening the second division Of
the ladies Of the Church gave the
regular monthly social in the lecture
room. Supper was served from four
and a-half o'clock till late hour
The low price Is cents brought
many hungry people to the bounti-
full table, which was left almost bare.
After the Sunday School service most
Of the persons in attendance repaired
to the lecture room, where in addi-
ton to supper and refreshments, Mrs.
G. w. Lazear sung a solo, and Clark
and Will Hoffman sung the ever pop
ular duet, David and Goliath"
while Rev. w. c. Snodgrass closed
the evening by reading a rare poem,
by an anonymous author who has
preserved his incognito in spite OF
various efforts to discover his linden
tity. The singing was superb, and
was loudly applsuded. Despite the
rain the social was grand success,
both socially and financially. These
socials are q new and unique feature
of this Church, though successfully
tried elsewhere. They are held month
ly, each being under the control Of a
different committee. These social
committees are designated by the
Finance Committee of the Church,
and are made up without regard to
financial circumstances or social af-
finities. In the course Of the year
all the ladies Of the congregation
will be called upon to serve once and
no one more than once. BY this
means then is Q free and general in
termingling of all classes Of people
in the Church, thereby breaking up
exclusiveness and promoting socia-
bility. Surely the rich and the poor
of our Churches ought to be better
acquainted, and any honorable means
of promoting acquaintance should be
hailed as q help to the cause of relig
ion, if not an indirect means OF
grace. The absence OF begging,
candidating, extortioning, and al
questionab means Of money getting
at these sociAls commends them to
the favorable consideration of the
people.
