A PLEASANT EPISODE.
Senator McGregOr Presented
With a Fragrant Testimonial.
From the Register.

From the Register
Thursday morning in the Senate
pleasant affair occurred and one
that must have been very crafty
ing to Senator McGregor, of Ritchic
county, A large number of ladies
were first noticed in the Chamber,
and finally Senator Dennis was seen
to come from among crowd of them
with al elegant basket of flowers
which he presented to the Senator
from Richie, the Senate sus-
pending work for a few moments.
Senator McGregor seemed to be
very much surprised, at the same
time happy and soon afterwards
was seen rendering his thanks IN
person.
The basket Of flowers was beauti-
full one, composed of rose buds and
calla lilies, and to it was a card on
which was inscribed, "To Senator
David McGregor, the Senator who
so nobly vindicated the righteous
cause Of Temperance"
Senator McGregor later IN the day
responded in aletter as fellows:
Wheeling, February "a, 1881.
1t is my desire to return thanks to
the ladies Of the w. n. c.. T. Union.
OF Wheeling, for the handsome
bouquet of flowers with which | was
presented to-day upon the floor OF
the Senate, The honor is highly
appreciated, especially for the reason
that 1T comes from those noble
women who are so earnestly battling
Tor the great cause of Temperance.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature by our Delegate, Mr.. D.
H. Leonard, providing for the es-
Enlistment of an Independent
School District, embracing the
present Parkersburg District; en-
farging the powers of the School
Board, and making the members
elective one-half every two years
and to hold office four years. The
bill is designed to bring the law into
harmony with the special necessi-
ties of the city schools, as these diff
fer from the needs of the country
schools.

DRowNED.-A week ago, last
Monday, young man named Hays
was drowned at Matamoras, O. He
went over to town from the West
Virginia side, where he lived, on
Sunday evening, to visit young
lady. He crossed in a little John
boat, only about 7 inches deep, and
in returning home, about 2 o'clock
in the night, while the water was
rough, his frail craft capsized, and
although his cries for help Were
heard, he was lost before help could
reach him. Neither the body nor the
boat had been found two days after
when our informant was in that To-
cality.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1881
INAUGURATIONS.
New President, New Governor,
New Housekeepers, State and
National.
Parkersburg, w. '

NdUIOldl.
The powers that ODE" are not the
powers that were at tne date of our
last issue. Since last Friday we
have a new government at Wash
ington, and Il new government at
Wheeling. That the great chan
ges were made on unluckv Friday
was no fault Of ours, and if evil
comes of this, we presume the blame
must be laid at the door of the AL
manac makers, who fixed the 4th Of
March 1881, on Friday.
If our paper was big enough to
spread over a couple or three back
counties, and we had the money and
material to fill it, we might give our
readers, some brief notes referring
to what happened on Inauguration
Day at our State and National Cap
itols. For weeks before and during
all last week, the people at Wash
ington and welding, did little else
than prepare for the BIG DAY.
The railroads leading to Washington
did little else than haul the thou
sands and tens of thousands to and
from the Capitol City. The telegraph
lines did nothing but flash the
news Of the grand occasion, the
printing presses, worked night and
day to print it, and the people all
over the land, who are fond Of the
details Of great occasions, have for
days done nothing but read it, And
SO it would be folly her9and now to
try to crafty an appetite already
glutted. For the benefit of those
who have no taste for the particu-
lars, incidents and happenings, in
the midst of massed humanity,
State ceremonies, empty compli-
ments and fulsome batteries, that
accompany the pompof government
al change, and season the folly of
State balls, we say in a word that
the Inauguration of President Gar
fiel, was the grandest, (if that is the
world our people ever witnessed,
and that the Government household
now are as follows:
President, James A. Garfield of
Ohio.
Vice President, Chester A. Ar
thur, Of New York.
Secretary Of State, James G.
Blaine, of Maine.
Treasury, Senator Window, of
Minnesota.
Secretary of War, Robert Lincoln,
of Illinois.
Secretary Of Navy, William H.

their swearing, cursing and gener-

Yes, that's 50. 1t has made it's APP

scared. 1t isn't measles or whoOp-

Now, we're just little puzzled to
diagnose the import of that first
remark. In our early days we
knew well enough, what spanking

The report that B. H. TwombIy,

The report that B. II. Twombly,
who taught school at Compton and

dead, turns out to have been false.
It appears that Mr.. Twombly ap-

The Carusi Concert.

1
| Turnverein Hall was crowded
last night by one of the largest
and certainly the most fashionable
and distinguished audience we
have ever seen in its precincts.
The programme was q very enjoy
able one, and the enthusiastic ap-
probation of the audience practi-
cally doubled Its length. As the
concert was rendered as compli-
mentary benefit to SignorIna
Carusi, we shall first notice gener-
ally the performance of this gifted
young lady by saying that, both
on piano and harp, she achieved a
signal success. In response to her
last harp solo in part second, she
sang, with harp accompaniment,
'Dormi Pure" Both vocally and
instrumentally it was an exquisite
treat. During the whole evening
her several receptions were abso-
lutte ovaJions, which were fully de-
served by her marvellous artistic
capabilities.
Slgnor Ercole Ortori, to use
an English word, was in splen-
did "form" last night. Through
out the entire evening his bow.
ing was admirable, often ener-
getic and dramatic, and frequently
soft and pensive to the extreme
demand of sensitive ear. The
Donse desN HourSs, which he
played in response to an enthusias-
tic recall, was an instrumental tri-
umph. His whole programme was
especially adapted to display, be-
yond dispute, his thorough mas
terry of the most approved technique
and the unsurpassed power of ex-
preston Of the violin.
Sefior Dorrego, owing to au un-
expected access of illness, was not
In q condition last night to play on
either guitar or banjo with his ac-
customed success and aplomb.
Madame Mara, a recognized Los
Angeles favorite, sang with her
usual sweetness and soulful ex-
preston. Her several appearances
were notable for the cordIality of
the audience.
Take the concert for all in all. 1t
was the finest ever delivered In Los
Angeles. AS an an1pressario Mr.. s.
P. Carusi has approved himself a
decided success in all artistic essen
tials. II, In his tour of Southern
California, he has here and there
found responsive communi.
ty, he has nevertheless provided
for all his audiences, entertain
ments of unsurpassed attractive
ness.
