A more ungainly, strange and
awkward figure than that of Thorn
as Carlyle in the last days of his life
can hardly be imagined, The stoop-
ed and thick-set frame was at
tiredin rough, ill-ftting and almost
shabby clothes His face was rug
ged and somber, set in q bush of
gray-white hair and beard. Beneath
the heavy brows, within deep hol-
lows lined and worn, shone dull the
bluish-gray eyes. His nose was a
handsome Scotch nose, straight,
fine and bold Exchange.

ROckland and Belpre, o.

ED. FREEMAN The subject of
Temperance is kept before the PEG
pie in both these places by stated
public meetings. Yesterday, Goth
inst. at half past 2 o'clock, p. M,
the people of Rockland were ex-
pecting Mr.. Caldwell, Esq, of Par
kersburg, to address them. He being
kept away by professional engage
ments, the meeting went forward in
the usual way. After accustomed
devotional services, Mr.. j. H. Hor
ton read one of Rev, c. H. Paynes
late letters published in Western
Christian Aduocate on framing in
iquity by law" in which said able
Educator and Divine sets forth the
vain pretense and absurdity Of les
SEEMING the liquor traffic by the
sanction of law. 1t is simply the
old device of our policy serving leg
islators of throwing club to the
whale" After this paper re-
marks were made by the Pastor, and
the way opened for a testimony
meeting upon the subject. Some
number of the substantial mem
bers Of that community attested the
Importance of total abstinence from
all that intoxicates, and the great
want of our land, suppression and
not regulation, Of this accused traf-
fic.
In the evening, in Belpre, under
the auspices of the Woman's Chris
tan Tenn. Union, a meeting was
held in the NJ. E. Church. Notwith-
standing the forbidding state Of the
weather, good attendance proved
that the subject Of temperance was
still alive in the hearts of the peo-
pie. Devotional exercises were con-
Quoted by the Pres't and Mrs Dan
iels, after which Miss Glazier rem
dered an excellent recitation. An
other was given by Miss l., Mitchell.
Mrs. Armstrong not being prepared
to fill her place in the programme,
by her request, Rev. Mr.. Addy,
visiting minister from Marietta,
was SuDSGlUuUcu' llGo EOhS IC1Dl y
upon the necessity Of patience, per
severance and self-denial in this, as
in all good causes.
The spirit of each of the meet
ings showed an abiding interest in
this work Of humanity and a deter
mination not to surrender to King
Alcohol.
Two miserable dram shops are
toleratedin Belpre. The weakened
power of law has recently been
brought down upon them, but it is
so impotent that they almost laugh
it to scOrn.
We hope the time is not very dis
tant, when the people will arise in
their might, and declare this work
Of death must stop. If you have
need Of them on your side Of the
river, say SO, and you can have
them without bonus. M.

lola Public School.

To the Pupils Of the Public School:
The sickness that has been prevalen
in the City during the past nine weeks
has interfered very much with tn,
grade work of our School. While thi.
has been to me source of constan
and increasing regret, have borne il
the best I could, knowing that it was
unavoidable.
The school has commenced to fill mr.
again, but it only causes me to realize
more fully what we have lost by hav.
ing so many pupils out. Many of the pu.
pills who have been absent, and are now
absent, have always stood high in their
classes, and under ordinary circum-
stances would need no indulgence from
me, but as the classes have passed SO
far ahead of them that it would be diff
ficult if not impossible for them to pass
such examinations as I have been re-
quiring, have concluded to make the
following arrangements:
The next regular monthly examine
ton will be omitted the classes that
are finishing work will not be examin-
ed until they are given thorough and
exhaustive review.
In four weeks we will commence
preparing for the final examinations.
For those pupils who have been abb
sent on account of sickness the grade
will be lowered.
Instead of 80, they will be passed on
an average grade of IS per cent, with
q minimum of Is instead of IS per cent.
hope no one will remain away from
school on account of the examinations.
rs under this arrangement the larger
number will pass easily. In addition
will give extra attention to all those
who have been away, until they are
again up with their classes and ready
10 pass their examinations,
1 will say, however, that this ar
rangement with regard to the grade is
'nly temporary, as it has cost too much
abor to bring the school to its present
nigh standard to let it fall back now. |

1t is said that Mr.. NJ. E. Callahan,
who discoursed SO beautifully at the
caucus that nominated Phil Peters,
upon the free vote, the fair vote and
vote often, has Senatorial aspirations.
We should not have thought it of him
if some one had not whispered it to
us conhdentially. We have Just the
thing for his aspirations. Wepropose
getting up course of lectures in
Irwin this winter and we would like
Mr.. c. to come up and give US one
on the rights and wrongs ofthe Mother
Country. We would advocate free
admission for that evening and We
can promise a large and attentive

We desire all mine owners to send
in reports about their property, giving
the amount Of work done during the
year just closing, and what the out

give general review of all business,
showing the increase over the year be
fore. We do not want to slight any
one, therefore, if you desire to have
your claims noticed, either call at the
Office Or advise us through the mail.
This is not only for your own bene-
fit but for the public good, as it goes
to show the marked advancement ol

The Forest Queen company held
their annual meeting on Thursday
evening Dec. Ist, IN Denver, to hear
the annual report, elect officers and
determine upon what viii be done dur
ing the coming year.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were the following: President,
General Palmer, vice president, R. w.
Woodbury. secretary, B. T. Wood
ward treasurer, D. c. Dodge. These
gentlemen, together with Messrs.
Woarisho:Ier, L. r. Thompson and
Colonel Holt constitute the board Of
directors.
The present superintendent, Mr..
Ira Brown, was reelected. The de-
velopn1ent Of the property consists ot
a shaft 135 feet deep and a level Is
feet from the mouth OF the shaft, which
has been driven 90 feet south and q
feet north. There is tunnel on the
property SIS feet long connecting with
the bottom of the shaft.
Several cross cuts and shafts have
been made for the purpose Of explor-
ing the vein. So far no stopping ha:
been done except above the IS foot
level, where ore has been found almost
othe grass roots. About $4,000 has
been received for ore sold the past year,
the average value of which was about
$500 per ton. The ore was sacked and
shipped Just as it was taken from the
shaft, without sorting. The greater
part Of the work done during the year
has been development work. The
number of men employed has been
thirteen, and the total amount received
for ore since the opening of the mine
has been $50, 900. 1t was decided to
push the work during the present
winter, and the main shaft will be
sunk to depth of 2S5 feet with levels
driven in both directions. Several
cross cuts will be run from the tunnel
at various points to Gu: the rich ore
body which was recently discovered
sixty feet west OF the first one opened.
1t is the intention to place powerful
hosting machinery on the nine in the
spring, at which time the company
will begin shipping ore. 4
At present there are 600 tons OF
second-class ore on the dump; this ore
will run 100 ounces ofsilver to the ton,
and it is thought that by spring they
will be able to raise IS tons of zoc
ounce ore daily. The pay streak show:
4 vein three feet wide. The mine j.
in fine condition, and the company
are well pleased with its appearance.
