Chas. Salts, Of Hartford City, who
with number Of others went to Tex
as with 3. G. Harpold, last March or
April, to work on new Salt Furnace
being built near Dallas, was taken
sick down there with malarial fever
several weeks since and when able
10 travel started for home. He died
ON the steamer ST. Lawrence on her
last trip and before he reached home.
We learn number Of others OF the
party are also sick with the same
disease, and are without means to get
home. Mr., Harpold has reached
home and he is also suffering from
the effects Of malarial disease con-
tracted while in Texas.
we are In receipt OF copy OF the
"West Virginia University Daily"
edited by Howard N. Ogden, which is
a very neat paper and evinces con-
siderable ability in the part of its ed
itor, for whom we predict a bright
and glorious future. This number
contains the lecture Of Chas. E. Hogg,
delivered before the Literary Socie-
ties of the West Virginia University,
which is fine production and of
which many flour State papers have
spoken in the highest terms. We
shall publish Mr.. Hogg's lecture next
week.
Mr.. Ed. Estill is putting up a very
neat and substantial cottage on Laid
ley street for the enterprising young
grocer, Mr.. NJ. NJ. Laidley.-C Charleston
State.
The sequel to the above will be told
in short time in our city. Orange
blossoms, bridal wreaths, bridesmaids,
groomsmen, &C., will soop dazzle our
vision. The blue eyes Of a certain
young lady that we know of in our
city, will sparkle as she reads the
above extract. Well, children, here
is one blessing.
The next session Of the County
Court will commence on the 4th of
July. By-the-way, why does our
County Court have session in June
and July and December and January,
practically only two sessions year?
Why not fix the terms SO that we can
have a Court once every three
months, making. four terms a year;
evidently as was intended by the
AMENDED constitution.
How glad the poor horses that are
being trained on our streets, must
have been at the rain Monday night.
II settled the dust for them. But
then the merchants and foot passen.
gers on the side walks didn't care
they like dust, and the drivers Of
these horses seem to know and APP
preciate it.
We understand that one of Mason
county's worthy members Of the Leg
iSlaturc, Geo. Rowley, has disposed
of his store and property in Leon,
and contemplates removing to Mich
olas county. We trust that we have
been misinformed as to his intention
Of moving from our county.

We understand that Maj. ]. W..
Smith, living opposite this place, on
the lower side Of Kanawha, lost by
theft on Saturday night a hive Of
bees. A s,ceet thief, and a singing
shame that such rogues live in our
community.
