How BRANDY Is MADE.-Brandy is made
by the distillation of lcrmcnted grapes
sometimes from the juice alone, and some
times from the skins, seeds and Juice together.
When made from the juice aloneit is nearly
colorless, has q very agreeable ordor and Il
slightly acid, aromatic taste. 1t contains
from 50 to 80 per cent Of alcohol There is
probably no liquor so much initiated and
adutcratcd us brandy. The commoncst
method OF initiating it is by adding to plain
grain whisky certain proportions ofvarous
ethcrs, which are sold in mixture us brandy
essence" burned sugar, spices. tannic acid
and acctic acid. Ninc-tcnths Of the brandy
that is drunk never saw Il grapc-skin. Gin
is made by distillng alcohol with juniper
berries, its distinctive taste and ordor being
due to the presence Ola small amount of oil
OF juniper. The amount ofalcohol varies
from 80 to 10 per cent, the residue being
water with less than ] per cent OF the juni-
per oil. The gin commonly sold as the real
article is, however. made by simply adding
small quantity Of this oil, or more lrc-
quently oil Of turpentiuc, to common whisky
together with sufficient water to reduce The
strength Of the spirit TO about so per cent
of alcohol. None but the most expensive
brands of gin are made in any other way
Different brands contain slight additions
which give them their peculiar tavors

At Leominister, Mass, Saturday, James
Carney, aged II, and Arthur Dugan, aged
y, recently enticcd Howard EULER aged
I, into their company and persuaded him
to ask his parents for halfa dollar as they
each wanted pocket knife. Failing 10 get
it they took him to the woods, stripped of
his pants, shoes and stockings and compell-
ed him to stand in semi-nude condition
barefoot, in the snow. They backed him up
against q tree and they took turns in thrash
ing him with'a thick raw hide, occasionally
punching him till the little fellow sank cx-
hausted to the ground, when they kicked
him brutally on the head face and body
They then dressed Howard and ordered him
to 60 home. The poor boy could hardly
walk. Blood was flowing from his nose and
mouth. His legs were cut and bleed
ing. His face was repulsive, with discol.
orations and swelings, and ridges an inch
high stood on his legs. He has been unable
to give an authentic account of the affair
since. Carney and Dugan are suspected o.
having drowned a boy named Doyle last
summer

Nebraska.

In Nebraska the Republican tri-
umph is not SO complete as was at
tirst supposed. While the Republi-
cans have elected their candidate for
Governor and some other candidates
for State officers and all their candi-
dates for Congress, it now appears
that the Democratic candidates for
State Treasurer and Regent of the
State University are elected, and
that only sixty Of the Republican
candidates tor the Legislature have
been elected ont ofthe entire men,
bership of 1870, the Democrats hav-
ing elected thirty OF their candidates
aud the anti Monopolists and hide
pendents having elected forty. Il,
A United States Senator will have

tion as to whether Republican or a

Ano,I,er Rnilrond vote.

In this issue will be found the Or
der passed by the County Court last
week authorizing a vote to be taken
In this county on the 30th of Decem-
Der upon the new railroad sub
scription. There are many reasons
Why our people should vote for the
subscription. Even those who vote
against it, admit the many advan-
tages to be derived from railroad
communication with the world. The
opposition arises chiefly from local
and sectional causes; each district
demanding that the road pass
through its territory or it will vote
against it. We fail to see why this
should be true. A railroad up the
valley that would be almost in the
center Of the county would certainly
be of incalculable benefit to the
whole county. 1t can not pass every
mans door.
This proposition 1t seems to us
should satisfy the whole county. 1t
gives fair share to several parts Of
the county and distributes it as wide
" AZ possible. 1t subscribes $780,
600 to the capital stock Of the W.
Va. 4 P. R. R.; $4,000 to narrow
gauge road from Blacksville to a
point at or near Morgantown; and
$4,000 to the l. v. Il NJ.
What reasonable objection can be
offered to this apportionment9
1t will open the Monongahela Val
ley and also develop the rich section
on Dunkard, in Clay and be Of very
great advantage to Battelle.
The construction Of the three roads
will add at once half million Of
dollars to our taxable property and
give an impetus to business matters
in Monongalia that she scarcely
dared dream of, and certainly can
never hope to enjoy without it.
Why not all unite and carry it, and
place our county where she once was,
among the first of the State Let us
do it.

Would you know the meaning of
the political revolution which struck
its first blow in Ohio in October and
swept through Pennsylvania, New
York Massachusetts and Colorado
on Tuesday?
1t means four things:
/. Reduce the expenses of every
branch of the Federal Government
to basis of simplicity, economy
and honesty!
II. Abolish the internal revenu,
abomination.
III. Make the tariff simple and
rational, and just sufficient to pro-
vide for the wants of an honest and
economical Administrative in time
Of peace.
Nv. No subsidies, no jobs, and,
above all, no stealing. either by the
Administrations and its agents, or by
Congress and its employees!
This is the meaning and the pur
pose of this mighty overturn.

The election returns given on our
first page are correct except that the
Democratic majorities are given too
small. The result is far better than
we had even dared to hope. The
overthrow is complete. The people
almost without regard to party have
set their seal Of condemnation upon
the dominant party and it must go.
That is the presentiment ofvery many
Of its leading men. The following is
what Mr.. George Bliss, representa-
tive republican saws about it:
Il have little faith that the control
which has been given to the Democ-
racy by the result Of last weeks cleo
lions can he wrested from them prior
to the next Presidential election.
My feeling about that il this: The
men who feel to-day that they have
been stricken down by the acts Of
their fellow republicans are, / am
afraid, so human that when next
year or the year after some one of
these fellow Republicans come up for
support they will he apt to apply to
him the same treatment which has
been applied to Folger."

The Institute for Clay district met
as announced at. the church on Dolls
run. Captain Garrison was elected
Chairman, and he made spirited
address in favor Of the Institute. In
his remarks he said that as trustee
he would not employ teacher who
would not attend an Institute. He
also said that if a teacher could got
go and instruct and be instructed in
the Institute, he was certainly unit
to instruct children.
Prof Morgan made many valuable
suggestions for teachers, parents and
school officers.
Mr.. A. G. Davis made some re-
marks upon the value Of Institutes,
cooperation, organization DC.
Hrof Hodges. after relating his
Don Qnxotic adventures in Dunkard
mud ponds, made some telling re-
marks on the proneness of many per-
sons to drag the teacher down and
undermine his work.
At the close the following resolu-
tion was adopted.
