Parkersburg Lyceum Association.

This new and vigorous enterprise
sprung into full age and growth at
its birth. Hardly was the project
suggested, but few days ago, till
the Association was at lively work,
fully organized with the following
OFFICERS.
President, M. G. C. Church.
Secretary, w. N. Miller.
Treasurer, III. Felsenheld.
Vice Presidents, S. p. Wells, W.
E. Stevenson, w. l.. Cole, B. NJ
Amber and ]. HI. Fischer.
Executive Committee, M. G. c..
Church, Chairman, w. N. Miller,
B. NJ. Amber, c. d. Merrick, A. L.
Purinton, T. O. Bullock and A. n.
Williams.
The prime object of the Associa-
ton is to secure to the Parkersburg
public a course of first-class lectures,
and we feel sure this most laudable
enterprise will be seconded by our
people with the same liberal spirit
that is moving these gentlemen to
efforts to lift Parkersburg above the
ruts of cheap minstrelsy and mon
key shows.
This is no scheme for speculation.
These are not the men that turn
"wheels" or "throw dice" for liv-
ing. The best talent costs money,
and to secure it and the money to
pay for it, is the purpose of the As
ISOLATION, as we are advised.
We are glad to note that in two or
three days nearly 400 tickets have
been sold at $3.50 for the course of
six lectures, the President, Mr..
Church, most generously starting
the subscription by himself taking
25 tickets, Seeing these gentle
men giving so literally Of their
time and money to secure to Par
kersburg a succession of rare litera-
ry feasts, now let our citizens gen.
orally respond promptly and liber-
ally, and so secure the success of the
enterprise.

NameIess Shame.

It can but shock public con-
science and fill all pure minds with
the deepest sense Of shame and hui
initiation to know of the name,ess
crimes that are being committed
and attempted in the community.
But a short time since Aaron
Kennedy, Of Volcano, was arrested
and is now confined in our jail, in
default of $4,000 bail, charged with
criminal violence against the per-
son of little girl 8 years of age
named Eva Kizer.
And again, last Saturday, Rolla
Evans, stout colored man Of this
city, was arrested and committed
by Justice Butcher for like crime
against little white child s years
of age, named Eta Estella Frost.
1t is proper to note that in this
case no violence was shown, and
that the child appeared not to be
seriously injured.
We cannot trust ourself to COM
ment on such inhuman deeds, and
are constrained only to urge,
since the Law has laid hands on
the accused. let the Law vindicate
itself speedily and well as the facts
may be made to appear.

MrGHT EXPLAIN SOME Things. :

MIGHT EXPLAIN SOME THINGS.
The Register computes the whole
vote cast at the recent election at
10000, nearly 10000 less than the
vote of 1880, and thinks this fall
ing off might explain some
things
We think so, too; and If one Of
its staff would drop in some rainy
afternoon, we think we could put
the Register on the track of two or
three things that it does explain,
that might be of profit to West Vir-
ginia politicians, for future refer
ence.
