DIsGRACEFUL DEsERTIoNs.-We are
informed by reliable parties, that a
most disgraceful desertion of wife
and family by married man, and a
family of children by widow wo-
man, occurred in Robinson district
last week. The facts briefly as told
us, are: Setszer Lee, well-kuown
married man Of this county, has been
quietly selling off all Of his stock,
grain and farming utensils, with the
proceeds of the sale he HE'D himself
to the home of the widow of the late
Charles Eads, and together they both
left for parts unknown, the man leav-
ing a wife and four children, the wo-
man leaving five children, one of
them on a sick bed, and in destitute
condition.-Pt. Pleasant Reg.
PAPER MANUFAcToRY.-The pulp
manufacturing enterprise in this city
has taken another shape. The pulp
will continue to be made, but instead
of being sold as such will be convert
ed into paper on the spot. An addi-
ton is to be put to the present build
ings, and machinery placed therein
for the manufacture Of certain grades
Of paper, a sufficient amount of CAPT
tai having been advanced to insure
the success Of the scheme. This
will give new industry to our city,
and one which may grow to be of
large dimensions. Thanks to Capt.
Hubert and the enterprising men
who have the matter in hand. More
capital Invested in paper factories
and less used in shaving paper is
what we need to build up Parkers-
burg. -Stafe Jouraal

Democrat
In the Wheeling Registers report
of the Educational Convention, re-
Gently held in that city. we find the
following in regard to our townsman,
Prof A. L. Wade: 'Prof AL. Wade,
ex-County Superintendent of Monon-
gala county, WAS introduced, and de-
livered an address upon The necesi-
ty Of school supervision He said
we must bring our schools to q bust
ness basis. and in order to do this
there must be supervision. County
superintendent should be as prac-
tical and thorough in their work as
uperintendents of railroads or other
business enterprises. 1t is important
and necessary to have school super
vision, and this supervision must be
practical and thorough. l believe
the people are in doubt about the
necessity Of this supervision, but as
the schools are elevated this super
vision will be appreciated. We need
plan, system and method in our su-
pervising work"
The FEDERAL CoURT.-His Honor,
Judge jackson, adjourned court yes
terday after very long and busy
session. An unusually large amount
Of criminal business was transacted,
and much on the chancery docket.
Conspicuous among the latter was
the case involving the Quinnimont
Iron Furnace, in which Mr.. Bar
tholomew, of New York, was appoint
ed receiver, and gave bonds in the
sum of $4,000. In the Raymond
Coal Company case to foreclose the
mortgages on that valuable property
a decree of sale was entered. An
other case, somewhat venerable in
its antiquity, is that known as Park
er VS.. Clarkson, and others, which
was instituted in 1865. This is
creditors suit and the contest among
lien holders for priority was long and
warmly contested. These have in
the main been settled at this term
and decree for the sale of the
"Clarkson Farm" some seven miles
below the city, was entered. There
was little bankruptcy business trans
acted. The Grand Jury found a
batch of indictments, and prominent
among the convictions were Collision,
who had violated the mail laws, and
Blankinship, for counterfeiting. The
Court worked hard and disposed of
much business. The next session
will be May 1, 1S82.-KanaWha Ga

The Guiteau Trial.
The Guiteau trial is burning
shame to the country. Nothing like
