on Wednesday of last week.
| 1t now begins to look as if Ra.
venswood, Jackson county, is to
be one of the points on the
Wheeling, Parkersburg and Char
lesion railroad.
The Wheeling Intelligencer says,
that, judging by the oder, one
would think that the creek flow
ing through that city was not on
ly sleeping, but dead.
There are three hundred visitors
at the Gseenbrier White Sulphur
Springs, which IL the largest com
pany ever there before, this early.
The county levy in Wetzel this

A Heavy Discharge of PEN
sion Clerks.

General VIM. w. Dudley, Com
missioner of Pensions, has decid-
ed upon the discharges necessary
to be made of the clerical force in
the Pension Bureau. He has rec
commended the discharge of over
one hundred clerks, and the re-
duction in pay OF over sixty. The
reason which impellel this action.
he says, was the lack Of appropri-
ations for the ensuing year made
by Congress at ito last session. In
making the discharge Gen. Dud-
ley says he has been governed by
the following considerations: First,
the ability oftae c.erk to perform
the duties of the service. Second,
those having families to support
will be retained in preference TO
those having none, other qualifi-
cations being equal. Third, Union
soldiers and especially wounded
soldiers will be retained where
competent for the duties.

The romantic story of the elope-
ment of Miss Nellie Hubbard, the
daughter of Ex-Governor Hub
bard, OF Connecticut, with the
family coachman, Frank Shepard,
two years ago. has not been for
gotten. The sequel to the story
proves that Shepard was not
prompted by any expectation of
help from his father-in-law. He
has a rich uncle living In Middle
town, Connecticut, who supplied
him with capital TO establish him
in livery business at New Ha-
ven, and it has proved quite prof.
liable. Mrs. Shepard drives her
phaeton through the streets, and
Is we'll received by many of her
old friends. She keeps up a thor
oughly stylish appearance, and has
money enough from her husband
to convince all that she is not liv-
ing in poverty. She occasionally
visits Hartford to see her mother
and sisters, and is said to be In per-
feet health and looking prettier
than ever.

No Cards. No Cake. No Cash.
No Certificates.

The Rev. G.. w. Il. Graf, pastor
of q Methodist Episcopal Church
in Philadelphia, about two weeks
since received a message to call at
certain house. He went thither,
without knowing the nature of the
summons, and found that couple
were anxiously awaiting his SER
vices to perform the marriage
cerc mony. The clergyman pro-
tested that he had no certificate
with him, and desired that they
should 60 to the parsonage. The
expectant room proposed that the
marriage should take place at once
and he would call the next day,
get the certificate, and settle every
thing. The certifica was pre-
pared, and the minister waited In
vain for the groom and his mar
riage-fee. On inquiry. he found
that the pair had left the city for
West Virginia Immediately after
getting through the ceremony,
and that he was completely du-
ped. The minister, as warning
to impecunious lovers that in fu-
ture they need not apply to him,
inserted the following notice in a
daily paper.
