THE New DOMINION can boast of
the devilishest devil in the State.
CLOSING out. at cost, White Vests
and Straw Hats, at Hirschman's.
COMMENCEMENT this year was one
of the most pleasant we have ever
witnessed.
No INDICTMENTS were found against
anyone for selling intoxicants, dur
ing the session of the Grand Jury
yesterday,
WANTED.-An experienced woman
to do the homework in a family of
three. Best wages given. Inquire
at this Office.
Miss EMMA FoRDYcE opened a Sc
lect school OF the Academy on Mon
Z day. the 18th inst. We understand
. she has unite good attendance
r. The papers of the State are begin
ming to denounce Monongalia Bit
/ terly, for failing to help herself by
voting for the railroad subscription.
If vote had been taken in the
county to give Clay and Battelle
alone a railroad, we would have
showed them under worse than they
showed us.
THERE were but four voters in Bat
telle who had the courage to vote for
the subscription. We move that they
be characterized as the Immortal
four" and each be given pension.
Our news-dealer here could have
readily sold all the copies ofthe Reg
sster he received last Saturday at
ten cents each. As it was, each one
had fifteen or twenty readers.
A Mrs. JONES, of Grant district,
was recently adjudged insane and
confined in Jail preparatory to her re-
moval to Weston. The afflicted lady
leaves husband and several children
to mourn her sad fate.
IT would be impossible for us to
mention separately all the good
friends who have visited us since our
last. We were none the less glad to
see them, and say again that our
latch string is always out

The Regents have reduced the
membership of the Executive Com
mittee Of the University from nine to
five members. The new committee is
composed of the following gentlemen:
Joseph Moreland, C. B. Ollie, w. G.
McGrew, E. Shisler and John j.
Brown.
HAGEpoRN's MILL is the champion
voting place of the county in favor
of the railroad. Out of fifty votes
polled not a single one was found
against the subscription. A few
more such places as that, and Clay
and Battelle couldn't have showed
us under.
Y BIsncc~ P,rERkIN, while here a |
sort tine ago, assisted by Rev. Geo.
A. Gibbons, rector of this parish,
confirmed the following persons: Mr..
and Mrs. j. f. Hopkins, Misses An
ma L. johnson and Hattie Samsel, c.
E. Hopkins, Sergeant j. C. Sprigg,
and VIM. and George Rogers. The
confirmation services were beauti-
full and peculiarly impressive.
The campaign on the subscription
was short aud sharp. The friends of
the subscription fondly hoped that
enough of the progressive citizens of
the county would rally TO its support
to. give decided majority in its
favor, but they were doomed to dis
appointment. However, they are
not discouraged by one failure, but
the fight will be renewed with in
creased vigor, and prosperity and |
progress will eventually win.
The Morgantown Cornet Band |
discoursed some very sweet music on
our streets on several occasions last |
week. When it is remembered that
the members of our band are all en-
gagged in other employments, and
play only for recreation, while the
members of the Pittsburgh band
make it their profession, the play
ing of our band compares fayorably
with that of the city band. But any
way their playing is certainly excel
lent fora country band, and we think
they deserve much better patronage
than theylreceive from,our citizens.
1t costs money to keep up any kind
of a band, whether professional or
not, and we trust our people will see
to it that our local talent is better
patronized in the future.
