Wayne County.

At temperance rally at Trout's
Hill, Wayne county, same daysa ago,
the people were addressed by Judge
Ferguson, Hon. Albert Patterson,
DR.. kirkpatrick and Capt Gibson,
The speakers were very outspo-
ken for the right Of the people to
vote on the amendment, demanding
that the Legislature should heed
the petitions, and declaring that
unless they do, the next year will
see grand rally of temperance men
irrespective of party, voting for men
who will grant the wishes Of the
people.
Judge Ferguson showed that
West Virginia derives $4,000 rev.
enue from license, and spends over
$4,000 in criminal charges, to say
nothing Of the expense in counties,
caused directly by the liquor-traffic.

has over hundred young ladies,
about thirty Of whom board in the
college building. These represent
many Of the best and wealthiest
families in the State. and there are
several from other States.
We met the young ladies freely,
and were not long in discovering
that they were delighted with their
school. And why not? The loca-
ton is beautiful, the President is
kind, cultured and able, the Facul-
ty ample and competent and the
whole atmosphere of the school pure
and invigorating. No whit of hard
honest study is neglected, but the
young ladies are trusted toa ration
al extent, and made to feel that
upon their own volition depends a
large share of the success and repu-
tatlon of their college. That this
trust is not misplaced, any one may
see who will go to the college.
We never met so large u compa-
ny of young ladies, who were SO alb
solutely elegant in their manners,
so delicate in their attention to
strangers, and so perfectly free from
every Objectionable custom and
training. West Virginians cannot
do better than send their daugh-
ters, # they are good ones, to the
Wheeling Female College.
AN EPISODE.
On Wednesday evening the Hall
of the House of Delegates was
crowded to hear a lecture from Mr..
De Graft, During the lecture, the
attention of the audience was much
diverted by the conduct of man
sitting in a conspicuous part of the
hall, who was in Il state of almost
beastly intoXication, at least that
was what he seemed to us. AS he
fell into a heavy sleep and leaned
nearly out of his chair, the audience
more than once testified peculiar
interest in his condition. A num-
Der of school boys seemed especially
alert and watchful of his motions.
After the lecture we enquired who
the drunken man was, and to our
surprise and horror, were told that
he was Principal of one of the
Wheeling City Schools. We mild
ly suggest that it is in order for the
Wheeling Board of Education to
rise and explain-or do something
else.
Our trip, taken all in all, was
thoroughly pleasant, and we shall
improve the first opportunity to
visit Wheeling again.

A FATAL MISTAKE.

The Shot Intended for a Musxrat Lodges in
the Head of u Man.
A shocking tragedy occurred at D. L..
Uamaker's mill dam, one mile northeast
Of Petersburg, about half-past seven
o'clock last evening, which at last ac
counts bids fair to result in the death of
the victim, William Gnyer. The facts of
the case are as follows Mr.. Gnyer was On
cunning expedition after muskrats,
and had gone to the mill dam at
Hamaker's, in search of game. At
this point the old structure has recently
been replaced by a neW one, and Gnyer
had taken a position on the old dam, at
the place where an opening had been made
for the water to pass through, lying low
and waiting for the appearance of the
muskrats. Meanwhile party of youths,
Hiram Foltz, Adam Zerphey, Jacob Burk-
holder and Nathan G:aybill, ranging in age
from IA to IS years, and all OF whom
reside in the village of Petersburg, arrived
upon the scene, armed with shotguns,
and having in view the similar object of
muskrat shooting. Gnyer was not visible
to the party, owing to his recumbent
posture, and he likewise was ignorant of
their presence. Graybill took a position
at a point where the old and new dams
join, and about Is or 80 feet from where
Gnyer lay, while the other young men
stationed themselves at intervals further
down on the line of the new dam. While
they were all thus intently watching
Gnyer elevated his head for an instant,
and Graybill, mistaking the object for a
muskrat, fired, heavy charge of bird
shot entering Gnyer's head, directly along
side the left temple. A cry of pain from
the wounded man at once apprised Gray
bill of his fatal error, and he at once
gave the alarm to his companions,
shouting that he had shot 4 man. They
hurried to the scene, and Gnyer was
discovered lying insensible upon the
breast of the dam with his left eye COM
pletely shot out, tho ball hanging down
upon his cheek. Graybill hastencd to
Petersburg, where DR.. A. G. Bowman was
summoned, who repaired to tho scene of
the shooting, and rendered necessary sur
gical assistance. Gnyer was removed to
his home, which is abut mile northwest
of Petersburg, and where further exami
nation indicates that a portion of the charge
of shot is lodged in the brain. DR.. Bow
mans opinion is that the wound is
mortal one.
Gnyer is laborin:. man, aged between
35 and 40 years, is married and has q
wife and two children. Young Graybill,
who fired the fatal shot, is aged 1S years,
and is the youngest son Of Jacob Graybill,
of Petersburg.
