CEDAR VALLEY,

September Id.
Ed. New DOMINION Since we last
wrote to you there has been consid.
cradle sickness reported on Indian
creek and it's tributaries. At Lows
vile Mr.. 10 Hood and Emma Tibbs
have fever; also Mrs. Sylvester Ar.
nett and Miss Emily Arnett, in tho
vicinity Of Laurel Flat. Scott Stew
art, Mrs. Dallas Smith and Miss Ida
Danley, of Arnettsville. Emery Sni.
der, Of Stewards Run. Mrs. Edgar
Snider, Of this place, and Joseph Ba.
kcr, Of Little Indian creek. Most Of
the cases being reported as fever.
Mrs. Ella Glasscock, wife Of Cole
man Glasscock, died Of fever on the
18th inst, after an illness of only
few days. She was daughter Of
Isaac Riggs. Aged, perhaps, twenty
years, and had been married only
few months. Her sudden demise in
the midst of life will cast n gloom
over the society in which she lived;
and she will be sincerely mourhed by
her friends and acquaintance.
Leaves have their time to fall;
And flowers to wither at the
North winds breath;
And stars to set, but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own
Oh Death
If disease should increase as rap4
idly for the time to come rs it has for
the last fortnight, it might indeed be
thought sickly time.
Dir. Arnett and wife being .somc-
what improved, left on Friday p. IN.
for Preston. Mrs. Arnett's father,
Mr. Lawton, met them at Fairmont
and would see them cared for; also
the Doctors sister, Miss Dora, OF
Laurel Point, started with them, but
was quite sick when leaving.
A messenger came yesterday tn
Mrs. Michaels to inform her and the
friends that Mrs. Gilly Richards, Of
Palatine, was not expected to live
many hours. She has been gradual
ly sinking for some time past.
Some Of our people arc already ex-
periencing scarcity ofgrass for thcif
stock, and fear they will have to re.
sort to feeding soon. If so it makes
a long time to feed, consequently feed
will not likely prove to be sufficient
again.
1t is said that Squire Barker will
have new boiler In his mill this
week. The customers, or patrons, Of
the mill will be glad when it is ready
to 60 again, for the mill has rcpu-
tation for doing excellent work, and
its stoppage was grent loss or In.
convenience to the people.
We notice Mr.. Thomas Floyd, OF
Buffalo, visiting at Azel E. Floyd's
this week.
Quite number Of Our farmers are
using bone phosphate and guano on
their wheat this fall, and We hope TO
see the enterprise d very profitable
investment. Improvement in agril
culture, improved stock and i'm
proved husbandry makes an improved
country.

A NARROW EscAPE.--A few even
ings ago, just as Squire II. Staggers
had arisen from his supper table a
gun was fired by some boys on the
other side Of Deep Hollow in the rear
of the residence of Mr.. Thos. Evans,
some Of the shot passing through an
open window in the 'Squire's dining
room, right at the place where he sat !;
also at the place Of his father, who
had left table only few minutes be-
fore. We are informed that some of
the shot fell on Prof Harvcy's porch.
When parents allow their sons to run
around with guns they should be
made responsible for any damage re-
sulting therefrom. The practice of
shooting towards houses is danger
Gus pastime, and we hope the Squire
will take measures to prevent anoth-
err such occurrence.

CATCHING A MURDERER IN THE Pen
Observation-Disclosures. j. L. and Ed. L.
Wamsley, of Randolph county arrived
in the city yesterday on their way to
Moundsville, to arrest one Elijah
Tenney, whose term of five years i'm
prisonment expired day before yes
terday. Tenney was sent to the Peni-
tertiary from Upshur county for bur
glary and is now wanted in Randolph
county for the murder of James Muir
ply, his brother-in. law. He was in
dicted for the crime in 1877 by State
Superintendent Butcher, who was
then Prosecuting Attorney of Ran
dolph county.
He confessed to the killing while
in the Upshur county jail on the
charge of burglary, and upon an in
vestigation by the Grand Juries of
Upshur and Randolph counties evil
dence sufficient was cleaned to find
the indictment. The killing took
place near the line between Upshur
and Randolph.
Tenney gave as reason for the
act that his brother-in-law was not
treating his wife (Tenney's sister J
right or well. They had good deal
of bad blood up and Murphy suddenly
disappeared--the story being told by
his wife and Tenhey that he had gone
off to work on the railroad. Tenney
will be taken to Randolph county to
day, where he will be put on trial for
his life.-Regisier.

MURDER IN GREENE CoUNTY.-A
murder took place in Greene county,
Pa, about twelve miles southwest of
Waynesburg, on Saturday night Of
week before last near Mt. Zion
Church. There was harvest home
held at that place on the above
named day and Leonard Devall, %
years old, the murdered man. was
there intoxicated, and had some diff
ficulty with two brothers, Harvey and
Kelsey Hughes. In the evening the
Hostetler blind family exhibited
at that place, and after the concert
closed Kelsey Hughes got on his
horse, took his wife behind him on
the horse and his little child in his
arms and some two hundred. yards
from the church he was met by De-
vail who intercepted him, and insist
ed on his getting off SO he could whip
him. During the interference his
brother Harvey came up with stone
and hit him behind the ear, breaking
his neck, and killing him instantly.
An inquest was held and verdict
rendered according to the above facts.
Harvey Hughes q few days after
wards surrendered himself to the ofii-
GERS and is now in the Waynesbusg

UNFORTUNATE. Our cattle men
who shipped stock from this section
last week were quite unfortunate.
Besides the two steers belonging to
the Messrs. Watson which died from
the effects of the heat at the cattle
pens near town, other stock was suf-
located and died on the road. j. P.
Keeiier lost one steer and four hogs /;
T. f. Watson, three steers; Elias Nix
on, four steers; Adam Fisher, TWO
steers, one hog and one sheep; and
w. Z. Watson, one hog. These un-
lucky losses not only knocked the
profits of the trip sky-high, but made
it costly one.-Inder.

Mr.. ISAAC FRAMES has purchased
an entirely new outfit, including hor-
ces, harness, and hack for the accom-
mediation of persons who travel with
him between here and Fairchance.
The whole rig is as bright as a new
pin and speaks well for the enterprise
of its owner. The hack was ON ex-
hibition at the fair last week and was
awarded the premium. If you want
to make quick comfortable trip
from this place to Fairchance, go

THE FaIR.--The second exhibition
of the Monongalia Agricultural As
ISOLATION (if it can be called an ex-
hibition) came off last week, closing
on Thursday. There were few fast
horses here and very little fine stock |;
and very mehgrc exhibit in the
halls. The receipts were exceeding
ly small at the gates and after pay
ing expenses we doubt whether any
premiums were paid. 1t seemed by
common consent to be voted n failure
on all hands. While there no doubt
was lameness in the management the
citizens at large of the county are as
much responsible for the result rs
any one else and must bear their
share of the responsibility. While
the manner of offering premiums was
not satisfactory to the people, there
is really no excuse for them absent
ing themselves and ignoring the ex-
hibition. A fair is only co-opera-
tive institution and serves more for
an experience meeting for farmers
than anything else if properly i'm
proved. People must learn that the
enterprise is not gotten up especially
to give farmers cash consideration
for attending, but an opportunity for
them to see the result of the labors of
their brethren. Fair time should be
regarded as holiday. Everybody
should attend and have something on
exhibition TO show the skill Of their
handi- work, and let others learn Of
their skill. Until different scnti-
ment is entertained toward the fair,
it cannot be success here. Let ev-
cry one 60 to work with renewed en-
ergy and we can give an exhibition
next fall that will astonish even the
most successful of our neighboring
counties. Our people can do this If
they will.

A PECULIAR and fatal disease has
prevailed among the hogs of Jeffer-
son county during the past two or
three weeks. Up to this time nearly
hundred hogs have died q it. No
one seems to know what to cali it,
and there appears no remedy for it.
Hogs will lie down and die without a
struggle and without any previous
sickuess.-Er.

MoRGANTowN IN MoURNING.-On
Tuesday morning when the news of
President Garfield's death was re-
ceived, Morgantown began TO assume
the appearance Of a mourner. In a
short time every business house in
the place was closed, the schools were
dismissed and flags draped in mourn
ing were seen hanging from many
doors and windows. The large flags
that belonged TO the Hancock and
Garfield clubs respectively were
swung across Main street and
draped in mourning. Every one
seemed to feel that calamity had
overtaken the country and that each
one should do penance and share in
in the general grief People gathered
here and there in small groups and
quietly discussed the event Of the
Presidents death, expressing sympa-
thy for his stricken friends and spec
ulated upon the probable effect upon
the future of the country. In the af-
ternoon the cadets paraded the streets
with arms reversed and draped flags.
In fact everybody seemed to unite in
paying respect to the memory of the
dead President.

oldest lady in the county died at her
residence on the Flats, on the evening
Of the 18th inst, at the advanced age

BILE for number of years, though

Sarah Baldwin were present at the

Sunday afternoon at the Oak Grove

BETTER THAN EVER
Fashion Quarterly for the fall season
of 1881 is before us and merits a
word Of commentator. The num-
Der is the largest ever issued, con-
tanning 120 large quarto pages of
original and interesting matter, illus
trated with hundreds of excellent en-
cravings. The magazine is divided
into two departments both interesting
to ladies; either of which alone is
worth the trifiing subscription price.
OF these, the first is devoted TO liter
ature pure and simple. and contains
an agreeable meldnge of interesting,
amusing and instructive articles. A
special department, entitled "Our
Easy Chair" is conducted by Hope
Ledyard, who discusses home topics
in her well known chatty style. An
illustrated "Lesson in Dressmaking"
is another useful feature; and tales,
sketches and essays original and selec-
ted, abound.

A CAMP MEETING Row.-For a
week past the Society for the Promo
ton of Holiness has been holding a
camp meeting in Marion. On Satur-
day night gang of roughs put in an
appearance and made things extreme
ly lively for the worshipers and all
concerned. A regular pitched battle
was INDUCED in. Rev. Thatcher the
minister in charge developed consid-
cradle muscular Christianity, and
took very prominent part in sup
pressing the rebellion. 1t is said he
got away with brace of the rowdies
in fine style, striking square out from
the shoulder, and afterward knelt
down and prayed over the PROSTATE
bodies of the foe. Early Sabbath
morning complaint was made before
Squire Fleming, who issued war
rant for one Mahlon Tenant, citi-
zen of Monongalia county who is
said to have been first and foremost
among the besieging party. Mr..
Tenant was arrested by Con stable
Tenant, of Pawpaw district and ia :
ken before Squire Lowe, of Basnetts-
vile who gave him hearing on Sun
day, fining him $500 and costs and
requiring him to give bond in the
penalty of 81, 500 for his appearance
to answer an indictment at the next
term of the Circuit Court.
Such lawlessness deserves prompt
and severe punishment. Messrs.
Pride and Arnett, the gentlemen who
who are keeping an eating house on
the grounds, were raided by the row.
dies and some goods destroyed, the
amount of which we did not ascer-
tain. Rev. Thatcher received
slight wound on the forehead, which
was inflicted by some one with a
stone when the disturbance first be-
gan. We learn that prompt steps
are to be taken to bring to justice
other guilty parties whose names we
did not get. 1t is said that there
were between twenty-five and thirty
in the gang.-Wsst Vsrgiaian.

How AND WHEN DID IT GET
THERE2-Mr. j. F. Wade, who lives
near Mt. Morris, informed us few
days ago that while engaged in dig
ging a well on his farm the workmen
found wooden hoop in the earth at a
depth of 81 feet from the surface.
The hoop seemed to have been shaped
in a neat, workmanlike manner, and
was in a state of almost perfect pres
ervation. 1t lad what seemed to be
several gimlet holes in it. The mys-
terry about the hoop is how did it get
there Mr.. Wade can trace the his
tory of the spot back for so years,
and in that time no opening has been
made that would admit a hoop or
anything else. A good subject for
investigation by the curious.

A FORMER MoNoNGALIAN's BAD
LUCK.-The following from the
Uniontown Democrat gives an ac-
count of fire which occurred at the
house kept by Lebbeus Weltner, for
merly of this county: "a slight fire
occurred at the Weltner House, cor
ner Fayette and Morgantown streets,
about 10 o'clock on Tuesday last,
from a defective flue in the back part
of the house. Fortunately it was
discovered before it had gained much
Roadway, and was extinguished
through the presence of mind and
bravery of Mr. Weltner, jr, before the
fire apparatus arrived. The damage
to the house was trifling, not exceed
ing, perhaps, thirty dollars. The
greatest loss was sustained by the
family. The fire broke out in the
room occupied by the ladies of the
house, and consumed their wardrobe,
a large lot of bed clothes that had
been collected for the wash, and 9TH
er personal effects, aggregating loss
of considerably over one hundred
dollars. There was no insurance on
either the house or its contents"

The FAYETTE COUNTY MURDERERs
INDrcrED.-The grand jury of Fayette
county came into court last Friday
morning with true bills against the
seven men accused with the murder
of Maurice Healy, viz: John Kane,
James Mcfarland, John Collins, Jas.
Rogan, Patrick Dolan, Michael Do
Ian and Bernard Flood. The cases
were called for trial at 2 o'clock of
the same day, and the defendants
asked continuance of two hours UNI
til their additional counsel, Messrs.
Thomas NJ Marshall and William
Reardon, Of Pittsburgh, would ar
rive. This was granted, but the 4
o'clock train brought not the legal
luminaries. The defendants, howev-
er, signified a willingness to proceed,
and formally demanded separate tri-
ais, which demand was granted by
the court. The commonwealth then
claimed q continuance until the De-
cember sessions, averring themselves
unprepared to proceed. The court
said under the law they were permit
ted such continuance, but at the same
time the prisoners were entitled to be
admitted to bail. On the following
day the court, after hearing, fixed
the bail at seven thousand dollars
each. At the habeas corpus hearing
the bail was fixed at various amounts,
from five thousand down to five hun
dred dollars, but the finding of the
grand jury placed the prisoners on an
equal footing in this respect. Thus
far none of the prisoners have sue
ceeded in procuring bail, except Pat
rick Dolan. About one hundred and
twenty witnesses were in attendance.
OF these eighty odd appeared for the
commonwealth and the remainder for
the accused. The trial Of the cases
at the December sessions win excite
great interest and attract many spec
tators from all parts of the county,
while the appearance on the scene of
such famous criminal lawyer as
Tom Marshall will add to the public
interest.-ConnellsriHe Courier.
