Personal.

Miss Rural, of Williams, has our
thanks for news and a growing list
of names.
The Rev. lecturer, J. S. Pomeroy,
convinced us all that he could see
the point ola good joke as well as any
sinner, and this seemed to put all
his hearers in love with him.
Judge r. s. Brown, and Hon.
K. G. Cracraft of Wheeling, were
among the prominent gentlemen
stopping at the Swami House over
Sunday, on their way to attend Cir
cult Court in Writ County.
Hon. D. McGregor, of Richie,
Rev. L. E. Peters, of Ravenswood,
and other members of the State
Temperance Executive Committee,
were in the city yesterday attend
ing the session of that body.
Our friend, J. r. Shafer, of Volca-
no, has the lead 50 far in the way of
sending the biggest list of subscri-
bers. He sends the names at once,
l, 2, 3 or a half-hozen at time, as
he gets them. Let all our friends
do likewise
Ex-Gov. w. +. Stevenson, who
was recently appointed Receiver for
the West Virginia Oil and Oil Land
Company, by the L. S. Court, gave
bond in the penalty of $4,000 last
week, and entered upon the duties
of his office.
Our young friend, DR.. Charley J.
Scott, son of our popular physician
and surgeon, DR.. Isaac Scott, reached
home from College ON the st. Law
renee Sunday morning, and had
hardly time to greet the home
folks when set to work by call to
visit patient. We welcome Char
ley back, and the more heartily, as
it is his purpose to be and remain
one of us, permanently in the prac-
tice of his noble and humane pro-
fession. What any community
most highly values, is noble cart
ed, sympathetic, and conscientious
family physician, fitted and quail
fled for his work.
From personal acquaintance, and
knowledge of his devotion to, and
preparation for his chosen profess
sion, we are assured that Charley
possesses these most desirable quail
tiles in a rare degree. He has been
well known in Parkersburg as a
young man of sterling character
and Christian integrity, and it
should be a matter of special pleas
ure for the public to welcome such
young men, when thoroughly fitted,
to take the places in due time of
our older physicians whose errands
of mercy and ministering to the
sick and suffering, must soon be
finished. After being with, and
assisting his father in surgical
work, from mere boy, and growing
up with a natural and educated
taste for surgery, Charley compile
ted his preparation for the college
course under his fathers instruc-
tions. He has now, just graduated
from the regular two years course
in Jefferson Medical College, Phila-
delphia, with high distinction in a
class of 2O5. This college stands at
the head of the medical schools of
the country, having 615 students
the last session, and graduating the
largest class of themall, University
Medical College, N. Y, having 1875,
and Belvue 118 graduates for the
year just closed.
Again we say, welcome DR.. Char
ley-and we are sure the sick and
suffering in our midst will extend
and widen the welcome to their
homes and their relief.

MATRIMONIAL TRANsAcTroNs.-
Almost nothing doing. The stag
nation in this line is most unac-
countable. We can hear of but
three bargains effected in the past
two weeks. There seems to be al
most absolutely no offers and still
fewer takers. Contracting parties
are so extremely ofish, that there
is little promise of any early i'm
provement.

BUILDING Observation-Disclosures
LOST. The new frame dwelling
house of w. L. Morrison, four miles
out the n. W, Pike, was burned
last Friday afternoon, with every
thing in it. Mr.. Morrison was alb
sent with his team, and his family
visiting at his brothers. The house
was cnveloped in flames before any
of the neighbors reached it, pre-
venting any entrance to save any
thing. The family have nothing
left of their household effects but
the clothes they had on With no
insurance, it is a sad and serious
loss to them. They have no theory
as to the origin of the fire, but can
not believe it was accidental.

BELLS ON SHEEP.

Mr.. James S. Grinnell, writing in the
Springfield Republican of bells on sheep
as q protection against dogs, gives this
illustrative experience:
"A good farmer in Leyden, Mass,
who keeps about a dozen excellent South
down ewes, always belled, was grieyed
and surprised one morning to find that
dogs had raided his flock, killed two,
mangled others, and scattered the rest.
On collecting his little flock in the yard
after q days search he found that the
tongue was lost from the bell. This was
replaced, and never since have his sheep
been worried. The experiment is Sc
simple and cheap that is is worth trying.

Miss Wilson, wished, and Was about.
to join the Baptists Of st. Louis. She
made an attempt to reach the officiating
minister breast-deep in the water, butsl
her cork leg was seized with unwonted
activity. Miss Wilson knew nbthing Of
the law Of specific gravity, and was not
to blame. She was suddenly reversed
in the water. The minister feelingly
righted her up, and observing the grim
ming Of the spectators at the solemn
scene, asked Miss Wilson please not to
do that again. He was innocently ig-
norant Of the cause of the disturbance Of
her equilibrium. He gently led the
maiden out, when, with wild shrek,
she fell backward and her lively leg
shot out of the water. The minister
made half dozen efforts, but could not,
keep the convert right end up long
enough to baptise her. At length she
told him Of her trouble and he called
for weight to ballast her. The spec
tators fed precipitately to give vent to
their feelings. Miss Wilson fip-fopped
ashore, indignant and amazed, and went
and joined the Presbyterians.

MY COMPANY.

II have read" said MI. Sturgeon, "ot
one who dreamed dream when in great
distress of mind, about religion. He
thought he. stood in the outer court OF
heaven, and he saw glorious host
marching up, singing sweet hymns, and
bearing the banner of victory +; and they
passed by him through the gate, and
when they vanished he heard~in the dis
lance sweet strains OF music.
"Who are they 7" he asked.
''They are the goodly fellowship of the
prophets, who are gone to be with God"
eAnd he heaved a deep sigh as he said
"Alas, am not one of them, and never
shall be, and I cannot enter there"
By and by there came another band
equally lovely in appearance, and equal
ly triumphant, and robed in white.
They passed within the portals, and
again were shouts of welcome heard
within.
"Who are they?'
''They are the goodly fellowship of
the apostles"
"Alas," he said, II belong not to that
fellowship and cannot enter there"
He still waited and fingered, in the
hope that he might yet'go in; but the
next multitude did not encourage him,
for they were the noble army of martyrs.
He could not go with them, nor wave
their palm branches. He waited still
and saw that the next was a company OF
godly ministers and officers of Christian
churches; but he could not 60 with
them. At last, as he walked, he saw a
larger host than all the rest put togeth-
er, marching and singing most melodi-
ously, and in front walked the woman
that was sinner; and the thief that
died upon the cross hard by the Savior
and he looked long, and saw there such
as Manasseh and the like; and when
they entered he could see who they
were, and he thought:
"There will be no shouting about
them"
Rut tn his establishments II, seamad as
if all heaven was rent with seven-fold
shouts as they passed in. And the an.
gels said to him.
'These are they that are mighty sin
ners, saved By mighty grace"
And then he said: "Blessed be to God
I can go with them"
And so he awoke.
