THE Roane county Bulletin very
sensibly says that "a pers on is not
qualified to teach until he becomes a
subscriber to his county paper"
There is as much necessity for gen
eral information on the part of the
teacheras there is for thorough ac-
quaintance with the bran ches requir-
ed to be taught, and this information
can best be acquired from newspa pers.
One of the best teachers in the coun-
ty said to MS the other day: "On thu
first day of school | can easily select
the children that come from families
that read newsp apers, by their supe-
firior intelligence and examiners of
teachers will give the same testimony.
tit is just as necessary that teachers
should "keep up with the times" as
that members of other professions
should, and they can only do so by
reading the newspapers. - Wetze

CORRESPONDENCE.

DELAYED BLIZZARD FROM BLOODY RUIZ
Maj. ii. G. West met with very
serious accident while coming home
on horseback few evenings ago.
1t appears that he and his wife Mad
been visiting the sick-bed of William
Jenkins and on their return their
horses bagan fighting and he was
kicked by the horse his wife was ri
ding. A wound was inflicted just be-
low the knee The flesh was cut for
several inches and the bone fractured.
The wound is very pafnfal one and
Mr.. West will no doubt be laid up
for some time.
Miss Jennnie,' daughter Of CSeon
Howell, had one of her toes so badly
mashed, by a colts stepping on 1t,
that IL haa 10 be amputated.
Mr.. VIM. jenkins died at his resi-
dence near this place Aug 18th 1881,
aged about 65 years. He was very
much respected citizen and will be
missed.
Sol. Frum is we'll and truly rerting
his country by buying up all the old
cows and worn out b.beeves and drii
wing them to Morgantown to market.
Sol. knows a good piece of beef when
he sees IL alive or dead. He Is good
boy and we wish him success in his
enterprise. He passed here EN- route
for Morgantown with two fine steers
for market.
We see by last weeks "scavenger"
that REV" w. II. Phillips left at
their office IL heads of timothy meas
uring nine feet in length. We are Of
the opinion that they were from
Sol. Frum's pleasant valley farm, and
as to the premium baby he proposes
to introduce for Cobun's &5 at the
coming fair, we would say that he
had better leave it at home. 1t looks
too much like its papa.
Wheat is turning out very poorly.
We have known years when 18 and
even ID sheaves would make bush
Ell but this year it will take 80 and
40 shcaves to the bushel.

THERE must be numerous "Star
routes" in West Virginia, Judging
from the uncertain and unsatisfacto'
ry condition of the mail service. On
many of the routes the carrying OF
the mail has been discontinued and
on others only half the usual number
of trips are made. Instead of reduc-
ing the service in this State it is
highly important that it be increased
1t is almost outrageous that town
like this should get mail but three
times a week. Instead of the daily
mail we formerly had, We should have
mail twice day from the b. Il O
road.

A wAeoN-LoAD of such rough look
ing fellows passed through town last
Thursday evening that visions OF
Dunbar and McKeesport tragedies
passed through ones mind and we
wondered if Capt McVickcr had
made haul and how many men he
had summoned to assist him, and,
were just inquiring who the villains
were, when we heard some one say
that Will Hoffman looked just like a
dutch clown. The truth flashed on
our minds, it was the the Marvel
fishing club returning home from
their camp on Quarry Run.

MooREs WORKS, Aug is, 1881
Your correspondent arrived here on
the evening of the 9Th inst
These works are situated about
three miles from Uniontown, in the
direction of Fairchance, and are
owned by J. w. Moore n Co. When
the ovens that they are now building
are completed they will have III coke
ovens, all in a row. The works are a
little off to the right of the railroad,
but are connected with 1t by "a switch,
known as "Moore's Siding" The
company have erected sixteen new
houses on the main railroad, and are
still building; they are all suhstan-
tial frame buildings. These works
afford employment to over 100 men.
Mr.. Hawkins, of Uniontown, Is the
superintendent and is a very pleas
ant and agreeable man. We have
seen several Monongalians since our
arrival here, who arc working at this
place.
Monroe, is a village Of about three
hundred inhabitants, situated on the
National pike about two miles south
of Uniontown, is located in a nice
valley nearly surrounded by hills.
The scenery In the Vicinity is very
nice. Monroe has two churches, the
NJ. f. and NJ. p; d Sunday school
in each, one in the morning, the other
in the evening. Rev. Van Cleve, of
the Evangelical church preached an
excellent temperance sermon in the
M. p. church on last Friday night.
Seven persons, suspected of being
participants in the murder of Mr..
Hcaly, Of Dunbar, where arrested
and brought to Uniontown on Friday
last.
We have been wondering all sum-
mer what had become Of all the house
flies, but we wonder no longer. They
are at our boarding house, near Mon
roe. Yours. ALEXIS.

LEFr.-A great many of the per
sons from Pittsburgh, who have been
ruralizing in this town during the
cheated term have gone to their homes
well pleased with their short stay in
our midst. The pure air of our town
and the hospitality of our people has
made very favorable impression on
them and they say they "will all be
back again with large achievements
next year.. Some hearts will be en-
tirely mashed" over the departure.

Miss Hannah Price, of this place,
died on last Saturday night, at the
residence of her father, Rev. Edward
Price. She fell victim to typhoid
fever, within less than two weeks
from the beginning of her illness,
From the first she had forebodings
that she would not recover. Her
SGffefings were intense, but patiently
borne. She had no fears of death,
saying that her preparation for the
future had always been made. From
her eleventh year she has been con-
sistent member of the Morgantown
Baptist church, and for several years
an acceptable teacher in the Sunday
school. She has left an enviahle rep
utation for obedience as daughter,
devotion as a sister, and fidelity as a
friend, for sweetness of disposition,
humility of spirit, and purity of life,
She had fondness for retirement
and for duty, She was always the
same, and the same to all. She was
an enemy to none, and none an enemy
to her. AS she loved all, she was
loved by all. In every respect she
was model young lady, Her de-
parture is great loss to this COM
munity. But those least to be spared
are the best prepared. These words
are not idle exaggeration, but will be
echoed by all who knew her. As we
saw the nodding horses creep slowly
through the streets, the large pro-
cession of weeping ones pass by, tho
breathless stiffness that came like a
charm over the town, gray haired
sires, blooming youth, and innocent
children looking solmenly on, and the
broken hearted family lingering long
at the side of the loved one, as 10th
to see her laid in the grave, we felt
that everybody had lost a friend.
Such death is the most fitting and
eloquent eulogium to such life.

When a board of eminent physicians

that by combining some well known

BEER GUzzLERs OF CAPAcITY-A
Short time ago an individual residing
in Marion County was tried for sell
ing intoxicating liquors. The object
of the defense was to show that his
beer was not Intoxicating. The In
de1 says one of the witnesses stated
that he had frequently drunk in a
very short time from two to three gal
Ions of it and that it did not affect
him particle. Another said he had
drunk at one time three and four gal
Ions without effect. To still furthur
show the harmless nature of the bev-
erage, q tall, well-made fellow who
was placed on the stand stated that
he had drank as much as siC and
seven gallons of the beer at one sit
ting without intoxication Now,
whether this evidence proves the
beer in question to be entirely harm
less or not we care very little,o do we
care or know why, if the beverage is
as it is represented to be, men buy
and drink from two to seven gallons
of it. We simply desire to call atten-
ton to the capacity of these men for
storing away liquids, and to suggest
to the Marion Oil Company the advi-
stability Of securing them for oil tanks.
They might be made useful in many
