BEARS KILLING SHEEP.-W Within
the past ten days Mr. Geo. G. Bloom
er has lost some fifteen or twenty
sheep from the ravages of bears. The
sheep are being ranged on what is
known as the peach Orchard on
Anthony's creek, and the wholesale
destruction will compel the removal
Of the sheep. The scarcity of corn
and other food of the bear is the
cause Of their inroads upon the
focks.-G reenbrier Independent.

REV. I. B. HUGHES, the new pastor
of the M. E. Church, is here and
made his first appearance in public
last Sunday. His people, so far as
we have heard expressions, are pleas
ed with him. The clergy always has
our good will. We clip the follow
ing paragraph from all exchange on
the subject of "the new preacher, y
which contains many suggestions
and some advice as to what should
be our attitude toward him:
How do you like the new preach
er?' is question that will be pro-
pounded many times during the com
ing few weeks. "How does the new
preacher like us?" is one that will
hardly be thought of by many per-
sons, yet it should be the first one to
be asked, and its favorable answer
ought to he early assured. Too many
satisfy themselves with maintaining
the attitude of impartial judges in
this matter. They will utter no cen
sures, but they will make no advan-
ces, until they see reason for their
likes or dislikes. They flatter them
selves for their fair-mindedness, their
frankness, their freedom from pre-
tense and prejudice. The new preach
er feels as though he were on sec
ond probation as to his character,
ability and learning, in which past
years of successes and usefulness
counted as nothing in his favor.
This is all wrong, woefully wrong.
The Prescriptions arein your preach
er's favor. His zeal and piety and
intelligence should be taken for gran
ted until he does something clearly
disproving them. He has the best
of right to your cordial welcome He
is not your servant; he is Gods
servant and your pastor. Moreover
he is stranger and acutely sensitive
to any GOODNESS or slight on your
part. Make it point to render the
beginning of his pastorate as auspi-
cious as possible. In other wards,
ask the second of the questions
above, before you think of the first,
and our word for it, the answer will
be the better for it in each instance.

CIRCUIT CoURT.-Judge Brannon
concluded his labors and adjourned
court on Friday last for the term.
The Judge has left quite a favorable
impression on our people. He dis
posed of a large amount of chancery
business, including the cases against
Alex. L. Hess and Ephriam b. Hall,
involving their titles to the
lands purchased from the devil
sees of Major David Scott, decd.
Cases involving these same titles had
been decided by Judges Fry and
Thompson, but the question had been
lately opened again in this county
by Berkshire q Sturgiss, for clients
in the West, the heirs of Jefferson
Scott and Maria Huffman. The
Judge was very positive in his de-
cision against the claimants and dis
missed their bills in both cases. His
opinion was long and is regarded by
the legal fraternity as very able. We
hope to be able to lay the full opin-
ion before our readers soon.
Judge Brannon has agreed to
lecture at the University some time
this winter, when we shall have the
pleasure of seeing him in Morgan
town again.
The next term of court convenes
February 18th.

TIE CTRCUs.-The circus, as a cir
Gus always does, brought a great
many people to town on Tuesday.
The crowd was a mixture and was
composed of all classes, from the
dainty gentleman and lady to the ig-
norant boor and what he termed his
''piece of calicer," all intent upon
seeing and being seen; all giving evil
dence Of enjoyment; in watching the
leaping and tumbling; the gymnas-
tic feats of the two Orion children,
the graceful movements Of the nimble
horsemen, and laughing at the jokes
of the clowns, Field and Dickey.
Every one seemed pleased with the
circus company and the performance.
1t was not unusual to hear persons
say; s'this is as good a circus as l
ever saw" and also speak of the ex-
cellence of some particular act. On
the whole it was voted a success, the
company and the town being mutual
ly pleased. One member of the com
pany named Hatfield was a resident
of this place many years ago, and af-
terward lived at Brownsville where
he is well known. He was a rather
intelligent agreeable gentleman.
