Hon. Schuyler COlfax has just returned
from an extended trip to the far northwest
Dakota, Montana and Manitoba, and in an
interview with a reporter of the South Bend
Tribune related some interesting facts con-
cerning that region. Mr.. Colfax says he saw
in Dakota and Northern Minnesota and Man.
itoba the finest fields of wheat he has looked
upon this summer; while the yield per acre
will not be so great as that of last year, the
increased acreage will result in a much larg
er crop. Fargo, at the crossing of the North

DIR. Moore. in the Country Gentleman, says
of cribbing: The neck strap is an efficacious
remedy. This consists in broad, fiat strap
buckled tight around the neck, just back of
the jaw. This prevents the arching of the
neck and spasmodic efforts to crib. But the
best method, think, is a piece of zinc, in
shape of heart or half diamond, with the
sharp point downward, attached to five-ring
halter, so that when the animal attempts to
crib, the sharp point will prick the skin be-
tween the jaws at place corresponding to
the point midway between chin and throat of
man. This stops the habit effectually.

West Point Cadet.

Tuesday an examination of applicants
for appointment to West Point was held
at Bellaire. The examination was not
so largely attended as some of those
heretofore held, nor the interest mani
tested equal to previous like occasions.
1t was conducted by Dr. Shane of Steu-
benville, Mr.. Myers of Cadiz, Mr.. Cox of
Bellaire, and Mr.. Rice of Caldwell. The
applicants fourteen in -number) were
subjected to the most thorough physical
examination by DR.. Shane. They were
required to strip off their clothing, and
as the process of punching and pulling
was gone through with the BOYS blushed
and Squirmed considerably. Following
this the candidates were examined by
the committee of teachers, of whom Mr..
Rice seemed to take the lead. This
examination, too, was thorough one.
The result was not announced Tuesday,
and has not reached us up to the hour of
going to press.
| The candidates were manly set of
young men, who stood the trying physical
examination, especially, well; and, no
matter upon whom of all these exam
ined the choice may fall, he will make
creditable representative at the mill
tai y Academy. For some reason Guern-
sey county was not represented in any
way at the examination. The candi-
dates were principally from this county
and Jefferson, with only two or three
each from Harrison and Noble. Repre-
sentative Updegraff was not present. A
singular thing in connection with this
examination is the fact that son OF
Mr.. james Kerr, of Martins Ferry
seemed to stand i'll the front rank OF
candidates, while only few years age
another son passed and is now at West
Point. st. Clairsville had two candi
dates-Ed. Umstead and Lafayette
Hatcher. The latter reports that he ha.
ljust returned from New Orleans.

HIP PoCKETs.-We again invite atten-
tion of all interested to the provision of
the Revised Statutes, section 6S92, con-
cerning the carrying of concealed weap-
Ons. 1t reads thus:
"Whoeyer carries any pistol, bowie
knife, dirk, or other dangerous weapon.
concealed ON or about his person, shall
be fined not more than Eloo hundred dol
tdrs, or imprisoned not more than thirty
days, and for second offense, fined not
more than .fUe hundred dollars, or inn
prisoned not more than three months, or
both."
Officers and citizens who are cogni-
zant of persons carrying the weapons in
dicated, should file an information with
the proper officer, and thus aid in en-
forcing the law. 1t will not take long
to break up this practice if this course
is taken.

DR. W. A. FRANCE, at the urgent soli-
citation of his former patients and 9TH

Cadiz on next Tuesday, to remain one
week, when he will return to st. Clairs-

Doctors standing and skill, that he is
called back to the town from which he
so lately came. Here, we have received
reports from several of his patients who
are satlfied that they are being benefit
ted by his treatment, although they have
been under his care but short period.
1t would be well for those desiring to
consult the Doctor, to call at his rooms
in the National, at as early a day as
practicable.
