Since the conclusion of the sup
pers our citizens have relapsed
into condition of absolute quie-
tude.
The services held in both of the
churches on Sunday last were
largely attended, and we trust that
some seed at least has fallen into
good ground and may bringsorth
plenteously.
AS we do not pursue either vo.
cation, we will only advise tho
young gentlemen who are such
excellent judges of medical ability,
agriculture, and horse flesh, in
their "imaginatien. to study more
closely what constitutes superior
dry goods, etc., az it does not re-
quire SO much mental capacity.
Mr.. Hamilton Horner, of Ohio,
is here visiting friends and rcla-
tives, as this was formerly his
place of residence. We learn his
father and brother will return with

Mr.. G. III. Wayble has enlisted
in the Good Templar band, and
we believe he will be o consistent
member of the organization.
We are sorry to see our young
men so Jealous in urging small
boys to indulge in that degrading
habit popolarly called "fghting,"
When persons approach manhood
they should lay aside childish
things, and learn that virtue and

ions.

VcnnOr Scores One Against
Himself.

MONTREAL. February 1.-Ven-
nor, the weather prophet. has
written the following letter to the
Witness in explanation of the way
of which he did not know any
thing Of the present storm:
1.-THE date given for the COM
mencement of Tho Thaw," in
my general prediction for the win
ter, is out, but the general position
given TO it as a whole, namely, in
February, will l think, yet prove
correct. My February probabili-
ties contain the grsat breaks In
the winter, and possible disap-
pesrance of snow and sleighing,
not those of January. In other
words, while admitting tho Head
of the Thaw TO have misplaced, it
is my belief that the bedy of the
same will occur just in the place
assigned to it in my almanac. How
ever, let all observers score one
against me, and GO on reading as
closely as they will. February
and March -particularly the latter
month-will furnish severe tests
of my weather theory. AS for
these, my probabilities are given
in considerable detail.

between his hogship and Vrnnor.
He thinks now of keeping lent and

There was great excitement
on our streets on Monday last,

riding upon the hind bolster, but
was simply hauling wood to town.

THE PENSION BILL.

Senator II. G. Davis, of this State,
made a speech in the Senate last
week on the amendment to the pen
sion bill now pending in that body,
which contains some startling facts
and figures in regard to the amounts
paid for pensions. During the de-
livery of his speech, he was drawn
into running debate with Senator
Logan, of Illinois, and one or two
other Senators, but he had SO tho
roughly fortified himself with facts
and figures that he was not only
able to hold his own in the discuc-
sion, but at times during the debate,
placed his opponents at great dis
advantage. The amendment which
Senator Davis supported is favored
by the Commissioner Of Pensions,
Colonel Bentley. From the esti-
mates of the Commissioner Of Pen
sions the Senator showed that to pay
the pension cases now pending will
require about $200,000,000, and for
years to come from $4,000, 900 to
double that amount annually. The
estimate for the current year is 1884,
100000, and the estimate required
for arrears of pensions already lodged
is 1925, 000,0 900; and in addition to
these bewildering figures it is official
ly reported that there are about
100000 pension claims unadjusted.
During the first year alone there
have been filed al 900 arrearage
claims.
Senator Davis is not opposed to
the payment Of just and deserving
pension claims, but the main object
of the amendment to the pension
bill, which he supports, is to protect
the government from u system of
down right frauds which is lagely
practiced by pension agents and
claimants. In protecting the gov
eminent against fraudulent claims,
it will be the more able and willing
to pay the just and deserving ones.

in the State instegd Of fighting those
now in existence. In speaking of
this matter the Kanawha Gazette
sensibly and forcibly remarks:
This is a subject of very grave
interest and it needs handling with
very great care. 1t is very critical
time in the history of the State. We
are needing and begging for lines Of
transportation to open up our now
inaccessible areas OF natural wealth.
A little sensible legislation will bring
to us the capital that we need for
our development. A little rash leg
lslation and our fate is sealed. If
we show to the monied world that
we propose to offer them fair oppor-
tunities for investing their means,
and to grant them charters that will
result in mutual advantages, and
above all, il we show them that we
intend to stick to our contracts and
to let them own what belongs to
them, and to allow them to manage
their own affairs within the limits
prescribed to them, then we may
hope TO have our rugged territory
penetrated in every direction by
railroad lines that will be a check
upon each other, so far as charges
even within their authorized limits
are concerned. But if we, on the
other hand, attempt to assert the
privilege of absolute control over the
property of others, irrespective of
chartered privileges, then farewell
to all our looked-for greatness" Any
man or set Of men would be fools,
and more than fools, that would be
willing to risk their means in any
enterprise that they could not con-
troll, or to go into a contract with
State that asserts the right, at the
caprice OF its legislature, to alter,
abridge or restrict the terms Of the
contract, without regard to the
rights of the other party. We say
to our legislators, 60 slowly; be sure
you are right, before you take any
step. Enforce rigidly the contract
rights Of the State, but be careful
that you do not 60 begged or outside
of them. But do not, we beg, at
tempt to assert the doctrine that the
State is not bound by its contracts.
"There is do doubt that under IA
vorable circumstances a railroad en-
terprise will he commenced to con-
meet the northern and southern por-
tions Of the State: Ii we maintain
a fair position in regard to railroad
matters, that and other similar en-
terprises will be facts in a short
time. But if, as a State, we take
hostile, despOtic and unreasonable
attitude, claiming the rights of an
irresponsible tyranny over public en-
terprises in our borders; then we
may reasonably expect, not only that
no capital will be invested here, but
that capital already invested will
use it's best efforts to withdraw from
us as soon as possible. The oppres-
sive legislation Of California less
than two years ago against corpor-
ate enterprises caused over 100000
600 of capital to be withdrawn from
the State, and the process is still
going on. Let us not be led by pre-
judice or passion into like error"
