DEATH OF Mrs. r. b. FoGLE.-From
the Kingwood Journal we learn Of
the death of Mrs. r. B. Foglc. 1t
says
"Died, of pnerperal fever, at hcl
home in Cranberry, on Thursday
August 81, 1882, Mrs. II. B. Fogle
aged 30 years. She leaves a babe
which was eleven days old on the day
of her dea h. This is very sad
stroke to friend Fogle, and VIC arc
sure that he has the sympathy of all
his neighbors. Last winter, If we
recollect correctly, he lost two of his
children. We were not acquainted
with Mrs. Fogle, but have heard her
spoken of at Cranberry as good
and amiable woman
Mr.. and Mrs. Fogle were both
brought up in this county, where
they have many friends who will ex-
tend their sympathy to the family OF
the deceased.
Mrs. CATHARINE FAULKNER died at
her residence in Clinton district on
the night of the 3lst of August, 1882,
in the seth year of her age.
Sister Faulkner was consistent
member of the Goshen Baptist church
for more than 40 years. For more
than a year previous to her death,
owing to her infrmity, she was kept
close to her home; but as long as
her health permitted, she was faith
full attendant at the services of the
sanctuary. Only when her strength
failed was it that she was found alb
sent. One of her last desires was
that she might worship once more at
the shrine where in her girlhood
days she had brought her tribute
offerings. Her wish was not granted,
but ere this her sacred song is min
gled with the worship Of the sky.
The writer had not the pleasure Of an
acquaintance with the deceased, but
from others lips he learned the story,
which all the living might well covet
as a BETTING eulogy of their lives
when they are gone. j. L. Nc.

Two VENERABLE CITIzENs.-Our
town was visited last week by two Of
the oldest citizens in the county, viz. !:
John H. Bowlby aud Horatio Martin.
These gentlemen are nearly one age,
being about IS years each, though
both retain their mental yigor and
much physical strength. Mr.. Bowl
by was distributing his lands and
putting his house in order to be
ready for the summons, "Comc up
higher" when it shall be given.

AN OLD ARMY DIscHARGE.-The
following copy of an army discharge,
granted in 1862 to Sergeant William
Raymond, was handed to us by S. L.
Wiley, the editor of the Forthcoming
History of Monongalia County, who
informs us that William Raymond
was the grandfather of Augustus
Raymond, the present Clerk of the
Circuit Court, and who moved to
Western Virginia in 1773, and died
in Monongalia county in 1921
By tUt0net Adam Stephen, Com
mander Of the Virginia Regiment
"These are to certify that William
Raymond, Sergeant in Capt. Byrds
company, is hereby discharged accor-
ding to an act of the Assembly made
for that purpose. He has duly serv-
ed three years, and has behaved like
a good soldier and faithful subject.
"Given under my hand at Fort
Lewis, this Oath day of February,
1852. ADAM STEPHEN,
Colonel V. r."
The original is said to be in the
possession of Col. Luther Raymond,
of Clarksburg.

BLACKBURN DAVIS, who was dan
gerously shot by James Province,
near Pennington, of which mention
was made last week, is still alive. 1t
is said that there has been a slight
improvement in his condition, but
death is likely to occur at any hour.
Province has not yet been arrested,
and as his whereabouts is not known,
it is thought that he has left the
county. From evidence obtained
since our last issue, it is now known
that Davis and his son both fired at
Province on the day preceding that
on which Davis was shot. AS Davis
was heard to threaten the life of
Province prior to the shooting, the
feeling towards the latter by the citi-
zens in that section is not of very
bitter eharacter.-In index.

Nix. HUNNELL, of the firm of Nun

the Buckeye force pump. This pump
is as near perfection as anything in

forces the water up from the bottom
and never freezes. We haven't room
to describe it. When Mr.. Hunncll

The ScoUNDREL BEDELL HEART
FRoM-HE ESCAPES FROM THE ORR
CERs.-About three weeks ago men

Monroe county, Ohio, leaving his
wife and family entirely destitute
The following dispatch from Canton
Ohio, gives a further history of his
escapade The Rev. w. Bedell,
who eloped some three weeks age
from Bealsville, Monroe county, with
Rosie Arnold, a girl of Is, an account
Of which appeared at the time, has
been heard from again. The an
nounccment of Bedell's conduct caus-
ed quite buzz of excitement in this
section of the State, where he has
become so well known in the pursuit
of his sacred calling. After he had
been tracked to this place and it was
ascertained that the couple had gone
west, the efforts to arrest him were
continued. The early part of this
week it was ascertained that the fugi-
tivcs were in Orleans, Orange county,
Indiana, and the marshal of that
place was advised to arrest them.
This he did, and was awaiting fur
ther instructions. Yesterday tele-
gram was received by the attorneys
in this city announcing that Bedell
had escaped from the officers. A re-
ply was sent to hold the girl and an
officer would be sent for her. Last
night Marshal Robertson, Of Waynes-
burg, left for Orleans"
Bedell has been in that town for
two weeks, and of his conduct while
there the following dispatch will
show ::
"About two weeks ago stranger
giving his name as Montague Blanc
came to Orleans, representing him
self to be an organ and book agent.
He was accompanied by fifteen
year-old girl, whom he claimed to be
his sister. The parties secured board
ing with the family of G. w. Rice, a
very respectable family. Blanc
requested that they be furnished a
room with two beds, and gave as a
reason that his sister was subject to
fits, and that she needed close atten-
ton. Thus they lived until last
Tuesday, when they were put under
arrest and separated. Blanc refus-
ed to be interviewed, and the girl, as
soon as the arrest was made, burst
into screams, which she kept up for
more than an hour. 1t results that
Montague Blanc is none other than
Rev. Winnett Bedell, of Bealsville,
Ohio, and the girl is Rosa Arnold,
daughter of James Arnold, of the
same place."
Though Bedell, through his trick
cry, escaped for the time being, it is
hardly possible that the villain will
succeed in retaining his liberty for
