COLD FEET.-We are reliably in
formed that a man named Workman,
living on Sand Fork, woke up one
night last week and complained that
one of his feet was cold-so cold in
fact, that he was suffering therefrom
He and his wife arose from the bed,
struck light, and found large rat

times by different parties. She was
first brought to Coal River by a
stranger. but was stolen after she had
been there short time by citizen

another citizen armed himself and
went to the first citizens house and
captured the prize; but was only able
to hold her for few days, when she

LAST Saturday, while a married
lady was riding along public road
in Pleasant District, and as she was
passing a pasture field in which a
stallion had been turned loose, the
mare upon which she was riding was
attacked by the stallion. The woman
was thrown to the ground and tram
pied under the horses feet. She was
considerably bruised but not serious
" hurt. DR.. w. 5. Martin, of King
wood was called. The stallion had
been turned loose by a boy,
son Of the owner by mistake. The
owner at once visited the injured wo-
man and compromised the difficulty
by paying willingly and cheerfnlly

A'gool many people have curious
notions about the possibilities of the
editorial profession. For instance
an aged lady visited our sanctum the
other day to ask our interference in
a matrimonial affair. A-brisk bach
elor of unknown years had asked her,
hand in marriage, and upon being
refused peremptoriy, he swore he
would $50 and get the license any
how" She wished to know what
barrier to interpose against his OBJ
trusive galIantry. We advised her
to get ahead of him by using her per-
suasiye powers with clerk ID. not to
grant the license, but we warned her
to lose no time or the knot might be
tied in spite of her, all the newspa-
per editors and her own objections to
the contrary Notwithstanding. What
the result has been we have not learn
ed at this writing, but we fear she
has been married in spite of her own
womanly will.-MartinsJurg States

BACCHUs ON THE BENCH. Recently
and not thousand miles from Ma
rion county, a constable arrested two
individuals engaged in pugilistic ex-
ercises, for disturbing the peace, and
took them before certain Justice in
the vicinity of the occurrence for
trial. They were slightly under the
influence of bad liquor, and gave the
Constable some trouble, and that of
fetal did not notice until the trial
had commenced that the Justice was
''full as tick himself. The trial
which followed was probably one of
the most ludicrous affairs that ever
took place in court of justice, but
it cannot be described. The prison
ers were found guilty of the charge
against them, and fine of two bot
ties of beer was solemnly imposed by
the court. The fine was Immediately
paid and the parties released, after
which they and the Squire drank
the beer, and the court adjourned to
sleep it off.-Inder.
