learn that our old-time friend and
teamster, Ben Calvert, had q leg
badly crushed recently while driv-

VALIsE SToLEN.-R J. Westly
Webb, P. e., M. e. Church, Hunt
ington District, had the misfortune
to lose his valise containing valua-
bles, while in Wheeling, a few days
since. He left it in store, soon
after which dull looking country
jake, as supposed, left his valise
with it. The sharper soon returned
hurriedly, and took away the form
er, leaving his own trash. So says
the Lntelligencer,
OUTRAGE IN Writ. Some ruff
fans, a week or two ago, took DR.,
Daniel Cain, of Reedy district, Writ
county, from his bed to an orchard,
and gave him about thirty lashes
with hickory withes, for the silly
reason, as alleged, that he said he
would not start fire and set his
mill to grinding for every little
grist that came in, The. Mentor
aptly says that no man is safe in a
community where such outrageous
conduct goes UNPUBLISHED.
THE REUNION AT WHEELING

Of the enterprising veterans of the
late war, in this city, should begin
at once to take measures for the
proper reception and entertainment
Of large influx Of visiting soldiers
at the time Of the Reunion. Wheel
ing has exceptional facilities for do
ing this sort of thing, and those in
terestcd should see that it is done.

For THE ENEMIES OF THE DOC
LAw.-Last Saturday, Mrs. Fury,
of Cedar Creek, was busy hanging
out clothes in her own yard, and a
child of three or four summers was
playing near her. Suddenly she
heard her dog, a proverbially cross
brute, give a couple of snaps, and
the child scream. Running to it,
she found it's upper, right eye lid
bitten through, the lower lid of the
same eye badly injured, and it's up
per lip, on the left side, also bitten
through. Two days later, though
the swelling had gone down consid-
erably, they could not tell whether
or not the eyeball was injured. Be
sure you cling to that dog, Mr..
Fury.-Sutton Mo,lntaineer.
