and $50 check. Joseph Rankin of
Finleyville, lost $50; Carey Booth,
who had deposited $50 with his en-
ployers had it stolen. Sam. b. Lind.
ley of Claysville lost $25 and Charley
Craig, $15, while an unknown man
who boarded the train at Taylortown
suffered to the tune of 500. A man
named Noah Miller was robbed of a
silver watch and numberless others
lost small sums of money jewelry etc.
A valuable overcoat was stoled from
the establishment of Mr.. A. b. Cald-
well. A man named Edward 4. Owen
was arrested in the evening of the day
named for attempting to pick the
pocket of Mr. John Thompson, and
after he had been sent to Jail he was
recognized as the man who stole the
coat, and one of the gang who did the
robbng on the train where they rep
resented themselves as hog and grain
dealers. 1t is rumored that several
of our Greene county friends in the
Union and Sycamore regions had
suffered at the hands Of the thieves
while visiting the fair but this is not
corroborated by the papers.

A large proportion of the people do
nothing to support their local papers
yet reap the benefit of every day of
the editors work. A man will say,
advertising does not pay in bust
ness: have to keep men Oh the road
and get my customers by going after
them" And yet the fact is that the
town in which he does business
would be unknown, the railroad over
which he does business would be un-
built, and he himself would be I'M
heard of, if it were not for the news
paper which he says does him no
good.
The local paper is of advantage to
every man in the community, and
when man refuses to contribute to
the support of the paper on the
ground that it "does him no good"
he might just as well refuse to pay
his taxes for the support of the court
and the police force on the ground
that he never breaks the law and does
not need any officers. There are men
who believe themselves to be honest
and pious, who are doing business in
every community, and every day APP
propriating to their own use the
fruits of other mems labors by reap
ing the benefit Of the newspaper with
out contributing a cent to its sup
port, and yet they would he terribly
shocked if they should be charged
with stealing wood from their neigh
bors. But the principle is just the
same, the only difference being that
in one case the law can reach them,
and in the other it cannot; but, NOR
ally, it is just as dishonest to steal
the fruits of your neighbours enter
prise as to steal his fuel or chickens
Too much credit cannot be given the
weekly paper for the work it has done
and is still doing for the benefit Of
this country.-Printer's Circular.

Waynesburg Messenger.

We learn that Mr.. Elias Grimm,
formerly of West Va, lost his life in
a well on the premises of Martin Til
ton, in Centre Township, on Monday
evening, Oct. Sd, 1881, by being
overcome with foul air or impure gas.
The unfortunate man discovered when
at the bottom of the well, that he was
being overcome by the deadly gases,
and started to climb out by means
of the rope and the wall, but when he
had reached within six feet of the
top, his strength failed him and cling
ing to the rope with a death grip, he
sank slowly back to the bottom of the
well, where he died before aid could
be lent him. The deceased was aged
about forty years, and leaves three
orphan children, his wife having died
some six years since. A chicken let
down in the well was speedily render
ed insensible, but again revived on
being brought into open air.

Kind w Ords.

They never blister the tongue nor
lips. And we have never heard of
any mental trouble arising from this
quarter. Though they do not cost
much, yet they accomplish much.
They help ones own good nature and
good will Soft words soften our
soul. Angry words are fuel to the
flames of wrath, and make it burn
more fercely. Kind words make
other people good-natured. Cold
words freeze people and hot words
scorch them, and bitter words make
them bitter, and wrathful words
make them wrathful. There is such
a rush of all other kinds of words in
our days that it seems desirable to
give kind words chance among
them. There are vain words, aud
idle words, and hasty words, and
empty words, and boisterous words,
and war-like words. Kind words al
so produce their own image in mems
souls. And beautiful image it is.
They soothe, and quiet, and comfort
the hearer They shame one out Of
his sour morose, unkind feelings.
We have not yet begun to use kind
words in abundance as they ought to
be used

About three o'clock Tuesday after
noon friedrich Lutz, Of this place,
seventy-two years of age lost his life
at Engle's meat store in an unusual
manner. He was standing by while
Mr.. VIM. Engle was slicing ham.
He took a small piece and while
chewing it some discussion arose as
to it's purity. 1t is supposed this
nauseated him, as he indicated de-
sire to vomit. Mr.. Engle directed
him to the rear of the house, but in
a moment he came back with arms
uplifted and face discolored, and fell
upon Mr.. Engle's shoulders, thence
to the foor--dead. Mr.. Frederick
Bepler was present and seeing the
situation struck Mr. Lutz several
blows between the shoulders with the
hope of relieving him. He also call
ed in DR.. Ravenscraft, but the patient
was beyond surgical aid. The en-
tire transaction took place within
five minutes. Justice Atkinson's at
tention being called to the matter,
he heard the statements of Messrs.
Engle, Coyner and Bepler, and deci-
ded an inquest unnecessary. 1t is
supposed that the piece fell into the
trachea and could not be dislodged.
The deceased left widow and seven
children five of whom are grown.

ST. Louis, Mo. October ia Lit
tie Rock special says the trio OF train
robbers, Cox, Delany and Munroe
were placed in the Pcnitentiary last
evening They are in good spirits and
take the sentence coolly. All Of them
are like the average country boys.
Cox and Munroe are printers, having
worked in a printing office at San
Augustine, Texas, prior to the rob-
berry. Delaut iran interview, related
the Story of the robbery in substance
thus: 1--WE are all poor boys and live
at San Augustine. We have good
relatives there, and hope they will
never hear of our disgrace. All Of us
were in love and the girls loved VS..
We had no money and could not see
how to support them II we married.
We were determined to get married,
and so laid our plans 70 get money.
We read about tire James boys in
the papers and books and saw how
easy it was to rob trains and get
away, and decided to rob q train.
We left Rome three weeks ago yester-
day, coming direct to Arkansas. AT

How IT Pays to Take IA Ncwspn-
per.

Some papers are not of much &C
count as to appearance, but l never
took one that did not pay me, in
some way, more than | paid for it.
One time an old friend started lit
tie paper away down in Southwestern
Georgia and sent it to me, and l sub
scribcd just to encourage him, and
after a while it published a notice
that an administrator had an order
to sell several lots at public cutlery.
and one of the lots was in my county.
SO / inquired about the lot. and wrote
to my friend TO attend the sale and
run it up to fifty dollars. lie did 80
AMI bill me off the los for thirty dol
lars; and sold it, in a month, to a
man it joined fora hundred, and so
/ made sixty-eight dollars clear by
taking that paper. My father told
me that when he was young man
he saw notice in paper that a
school teacher was wanted away OIL
in distant county, and he went
there and got the situation, and a
little girl was. sent to him, and after
awhile she grew up mighty sweet and
pretty, and he fell in love with her
and married her-now, if he hadn't
taken that paper, what do you reck-
on would have become of me?
Wouldn't / have been some other fell

Last Tuesday night Mrs. Maria
Minor, of this place, wife of l.. l..
Minor, Esq, fell from the first floor
of her dwelling down a flight of stairs
to the basement kitchen sustaining
severe injuries. She was passing
from the sitting room, in the dark,
purposing to 90 out on the porch,
the door leading to the porch being
located near the door leading to the
basement, she mistook the one for
the other and stepped off, pitching
down to the floor of the basement,
striking on her head and shoulders.
All the balance of the family had re-
tired, hence, she was not discovered
for several minutes, and when found
and taken up was in an insensible
condition. Doctor Iams was sum-
moned and her injuries treated
which at first were feared to be quite
serious, but she is now better She
was cut and bruised about one eye
and her hands and arms are also cut
and bruised. 1t was thought Mrs.
Minor had sustained internal hurts
as she yomted blood that night and
the next day and remained in da-
zed condition, for twenty-four hours
after the accident, but she has re-
covered her mental faculties and is
now out of danger.

ished in white hard finish, and the
general plan of construction is I'M
surpassed, and the State of West
Virginia should be proud of this

fering humanity.

stack 40 feet high. To visit all the
wards once, requires a walk of p

area of ground half mile long, one
eighth of mile wide and fifty feet
high.
/ am Informed that the greatly in
creased price of almost all kinds of
provisions will likely increase the
weekly cost of patients per capita,
but as it has heretofore been lower
than any other like place let us not
complain.
In conclusion l wish to impress on
our people, and especially our Legis-
lators, the absolute necessity OF
prompt appropriations of the means
necessary to carry on this most high
" commendable work for suffering
and afflicted humanity. Let us new
er by any erroneous idea Of economy
withhold what is amply sufficient to
efIectually carry on the work, and to
those who are disposed to complain,
l repeat, come, see and be convinced
that we have here an institution
where those who deserve our deepest
compassion and sympathy can be
properly cared for, and for which we
who are less afflicted, ought to be
very willing to, and thankful that
we can contribute the means to prop
erly support
To conclude, allow me to express
to the Superintendent, DR.. Bland
(who is quite unwell at present, )and
Assistant DR.. Hullihen, my appreci
alton of their courtesy, and to Mrs
Bland and Mrs. jackson, the efficient
Matron for their kindness.

vantages derived from being connect
ed with the rest of mankind by TIN

1t is remarkable the number Of per-

sorry from the bottom of our hearts
for all that class who do not have
time to read and become intelligent
we'll informed citizens. They have
plenty of time to idle away in slang
ing their neighbours plenty Of time
to poke their nose into every little
mean nasty trick that comes up, but
not time to read. We pity the chill
dren who "comc up in families
where there is nothing to read but
an almanac a tract or two, and few
circus bills and patent medicine cir

fatten pigs on husks as to edttcate
the rising generation without news

that makes the man and II is the
hest investment that a parent can

A special dispatch to one ~ our
esteemed contemporaries Mt Washing
ton contains the following inournftil
announcement:
"The Ohio politicians feel the death
of President Garfield all the more
keenly for the reason they say, that
Ohio will now lose her grip on national
politics"
This will be sad news to the rest
Of the world. There are few who
will not have tear to spare for the
politicians of Ohio in this their noble
view of the nations recent affection.
1t was thought eminently worthy Of
the hour and Of the event. A hundred
thousand people assembled to witness
the burial Of the murdered President
and the last words that fash over
the waiting wires from this awful
scene to the national capitol are,
"Ohio has lost her grip!"
Ohio will be turned out Of the off,
ces, or, to speak with accuracy out
of few Of the vast multitude of of1-
ces which she docs not hold by life
tenure. Her strong grasp upon the
patronage of our common Govern
ment will be relaxed; and there will
even be mon in some parts Of the
country, possibly in New York who
will be ready to hasten the procession.
But Ohio need not repinc. She can
send little Charley Foster to the next
national convention for John 6hor-
man, and if he again fails to nomi-
nate his good friend, perhaps he
would not refuse the honor himself.
Foster remains and may yet restore
Ohio to the national feed trough. -

VOL XII.

A we'll edited and well conducted
newspaper is, perhaps, the best edu-
Gator Of the public mind. To hun
dreds of thousands of the people of
this great country, the newspaper is
a school in which they are prepared
to profit by the instruction they will
afterwards get in the colleges OF
which the great thinkers of the world
are professors.
There are two kinds of education
the education Of colleges, and the
education Of the great newspapers Of
the country, and the latter is quite
as important as the former. The ru-
diments and discipline ofthe school
are, of course, very important, and
the more extensive culture and train
ing of college is of great Importance
to the young; but experience and
observation teach that the stimulus
furnished to their minds by the news
paper-its racy, Suggestive para
graphs, its sprightly or thoughtful
leaders, the great fund Conformation
it contains, its correct pictures ofthe
great world, its ready sympathy
within the thoughts and sentiment of
the day-all invite to make it an ed
ucation more useful and lasting in
its effects for good or evil than any
other living agency. A man may
live as hermit and yet be citizen
of the world. For the newspaper is
telescope by which he brings near
the most distant things, knows all
that is done or said all over the
world-a picture gallery, full of liv-
ing scenes from real life, drawn not
on canvass, but on paper with prin-
ter's ink Waynes6u'g Republican.

A NIOntn ma Fish story.

The following article we take from
the Helena, Montana, Independent,
sent us few days since by Hon. E.
G. Brooke. We suppose of course
that gentleman vouches for the truth
of the statement. We do not ques-
ton the statement, but expect D. H.
Chadwick and Judge Berkshire will,
as the trout that they are in the hab-
it Of catching at Browning's dam
weigh about half q pound.
The following letter from Agent
Roman explains itself:
FLATHEAD AGENCY, Sept 20.
To Hon. Martin Maginnis, Helena,
NJ. r. sf
DEAR FRIEND:-As this is Fair
week at Helena, / thought that your
. self and friends might like trout
from the Joco for dinner, and l have
procured you medium sized' one,
weighing, when taken from the water
to-day, sixteen and half pounds.
Should any of the trout sharps in
Helena persist in calling it a .'bull
trout" or salmon trout" you may
confidently deny the statement and
stick to it, and the book and teach
ings of the graduated disciples of
Sir Isaac Walton will bear you out,
that this is common brook trout, a
little oyergrown I will admit, but
such. and even larger ones are COM
mon in the Jocko. Trusting that
Yourself and friends will have a good
time discussing his sfinny nibs," !
am as ever, Yours,

superintendent Convention

The following circular, which has
been prepared and sent out by State
Superintendent Butcher, explains
itself:
TO the County and CITY Superinten-
dents and the Teachers Of Vest
Virqinid:
After consultation with large
number of you have decided to fix
the time Of the Convention of Super
intendents and the Teachers Insti-
tute, heretofore proposed by me, on
the 23d, oath, 25th and Goth days of
November, 1881, in the city of Wheel
ing. The various times suggested
by the large number of persons con-
suited, convinces me that 1t is i'm
possible TO suit all, as to time But
the unanimous approval given the
proposition by those who have writ
ten me on the subject insures a large
attendance. For instructors and lee
turers, the very best talent that can
be obtained will be secured. Supt.
f. V. DeGraff, of New Jersey, will
conduct the department Of methods
of instruction" in the Institute,
with such help as may be hereafter
obtained. At least three or four
gentlemen prominent as supcrintend-
ents will be present to discuss i'm
portant questions touching the du-
ties of Superintendent, and how to
perform them. The Institute and
convention will in no wise conflict.
The institute will continue four days.
Each evening will be devoted to lect-
ures from distinguished educators.
A detailed programme of exercises
will be published soon. Reduced
rates on the railroads and at the ho-
tells will be secured il possible and
daily announced. The Superintend-
cnt and principals of the Wheeling
city schools are in sympathy with
the objects of the meeting, and will
give their co-laborers from other
parts of the State hearty welcome
to this prosperous city. Superintend-
ents, teachers and friends of educa-
tion everywhere arc cordially invited
to be present.
Very respectfully,
