ton will be held at Wheeling, COM
mencing June 2Sth, 1881, at 81
o'clock, p, NJ.
The basis of representation will

invited to cooperate with US, and

4th. Churches, Sabbath Schools,
communities and neighborhoods
are urged to see to it that represen-
tatives are sent to this Convention.
And while there will be, doubtless,
full delegations from the counties
adjacent to Wheeling, it is especial
ly important that every county in
the State should be represented:
Let the friends of Temperance IN
the remote counties sec to it that
they are represented. Now is the
time to move altogether. The
whole State must be canvassed and
aroused during the coming autumn.
Let us get ready for the campaign.

MIRACULOUS EscAPE,-The Gil
merite informs us that the 3-year-
old son Of Franklin woodward, near
Tannersville, while playing with
the well rope, fell head foremost in
to the well, which was fifteen feet
deep. Strange to say, the little fell
low, coming to the top of the water,
caught in the crevices of the wall,
and after calling for some time was
heard and safely brought up, I'M
hurt, by his sister.
ANOTHER WHISKY ACCIDENT
The same paper gives an account of
the instant killing of John Richard
son, by the accidental discharge of
a revolver, while he was under
the influence Of liquor.
Mr. Richardson had been visiting
his parents, in Gilmer county, and
the sad accident occurred while
passing through Jackson county on
his way to his home in Ohio.
Daniel Smith, of Nutter's Fork,
Doddridge county, was seriously, if
not fatally injured, by pitchfork
sliding from loft where it was
thrown, and striking him in the
side, penetrating downwards to the
depth of seven or eight inches. DR..
McCally who attended him hopes
he will recover.
ScALDED TO DEATH-On last Fri
day at about o'clock p. M, three
year-old child of Mr.. Hathaway, liv-
ing near here, fell into vessel of
hot water which it had been play
ing around, and was so frightfulfy
scalded that it died at daylight the
next morning arren's Sunbeam.
MORE RAILRoADs.-We learn from
the Giles Varginian that arrange
ments are being made to let the
construction of the New River Rail
road in West Virginia, to contract
and complete the line from Wal

present year. A survey of abranch
road up Bluestone to the coal fields
in Mercer, West Virginia, is being
made. This is an important enter
prise and will add much to the
franchises Of the New River Rail
road Company.-The State.
About eighty immigrants, includ-

Our Railroad.

The most encouraging feature Of
the present movement for the i'm
peratively demanded w. P. & c. R.
r. is the active and well nigh uni
versal interest and systematic ener-
gy characterizing the people all
along the line.
The movers in the enterprise seem
to have struck public sentiment
just at the right time and to have
touched just the right keys to send
forth a harmonious crescendo, all
along the scale from Wheeling to
Charleston.
In the matter of voluntary sub
scriptions to stock, asked for as an
earnest ofpublic interest and friend
illness to the road, the response has
far overleaped the request. Par
kersburg was asked ror 81 800, and
answered promptly with nearly
$4,000. Jackson came next with
much more than asked for. Tyler
replied to the request for $500, with
nearly double the amount and prom
Use of more. So with Peasants,
Wetzel and the other counties.
And the disposition to grant the
right Of way, and offers of liberal ia
cilities and inducements, by the
farmers all along the route, have sur
prised the most sanguine.
Committees on Fright of way
son subscriptions" and SO on, have
been constituted by enthusiastic
meetings in the different counties,
and these Committees are going to
work with hearty good will, that
promises valuable and speedy re-
suits.
In Tyler we see the Committee
on procuring right-of-way consists
of. M. Dare, ]. D. Ankrom, Hon.
Selmon Wells, Col. d. d, Johnson
and J. L. Maxton.
In Peasants, R. H. Browse and
others are actively engaged in this
behalf.
We were shown by Mr.. Browse a
chart made by himself for his own
convenience, showing at a glance
the attitude of each farmer along
the route through Peasants, toward
the road, whether favorable or 9TH
erwise, as we'll as the distance tho
each farm and whether the owner
will give the right-of-way, and it was
most gratifying to notice how near
ly unanimously the Peasants coun-
ty farmers are alive to their own flu
ture prosperity, and indeed to their
commercial necessities, as is this
road to every timber county and
district through which it will pass,
or to which it will open up a better
communication with outside mar
kets.
Surveying parties are already on
the route, from Moundsville, Par
kersburg and Charleston, and we
see no possible reason why we may
not confidently build on the assur-
ance of the w. P. & G. R. R. just as
soon as money and enterprise can
push its construction to compile
ton.
