AN ANCIENT RELIc.-For the ed
ification of our many poor relations
in these and other parts, we give
the following from the Echo,
(Keyser.)
Mrs. Abram Johnson, of Patterson
Greek, has in her possession, rock
ing chair of the split-bottom class
that was brought to this country
from the State of New jersey by
her neutrality-suspicious., Abram
Parker, before the Revolutionary
war. The chair is in splendid
state of preservation, in constant
use, and is claimed to be over one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
1t is now used by the seventh gen.
Grafton.
We see it stated that already in
Kansas one brewery has been con-
verted into starch factory, and
another into pork house. The
brewers will lose nothing by the OPP
Grafton of the law. The increased
prosperity of the State will soon
make their property more valuable
for other purposes than it has been
even for the gainful business in
which it has been used. Kansas,
which has lately attracted such a
vast immigration, will be more de-
sirable than ever as home for i'm
migrants. Earnest men who have
children to be guarded and saved
will turn their faces thither, and
will help to reward the gallant
State which has already done so
much for human welfare. Chris

Everybody admits that, except the
few, whose only life purpose is to
make little money, anda are willing
to brew and distill gain out of the
miseries, woes and tears of their suf-
fering fellows.
A CARD have not, nor do / in
tend, to rent any of my rooms for a
saloon. When I said intoxicating
drinks should not be sold in house
of mine, | meant every word of it.
Mrs. l.. J. MARTIN.
We suppose the above is enough
to show the public that Mrs. Mar
tin does not intend that her prop
erty shall be used for the purpose
of selling liquor in. She is quite
emphatic. Last week the Register
noticed the application made in the
Council meeting, in the regular pro
ceedings, not knowing whether Mr..
Thompson had the right to make
the application for the house or not.
We are glad to see that she has the
nerve to thus publicly repudiate it.
PIT Pleasant Register.
Yes, we think that cards explic-
it enough. We wish we had more
Mrs. Martins to place Right above
Rent.
Mr.. Samuel Carothers, who re-.
sides in Morgan county, w. Va, near
the Berkeley county line, struck a
"bonanza" few weeks ago. He
moved into a house belonging to the
Stewart heirs, and which was occu-
pied by Mr. Stewart at the time of
his death Mr. Carothers, while
fixing the fire place, found under a
large fiat stone in the hearth a
pocket book-containing it is said
eight hundred dollars, the most of
which he promptly turned over to
the heirs of Mr.. Stewart. Mr.. Stew
art lived alone and it is supposed he
put the money there for safe keep

We desire to remark, just here
that, editors never leave pocket
books with $500 in them, under
fiat stones; this to save boys the
