The Kew Pre-Emption ! aw.

Mr.. Washburn's new bre-emption
law, which, 1t is quite likely will pass
Congress at the present session, en-
braces the following important points:
The presumption laws of the United
States relating to the public lands are
hereby repealed, provided, however,
that such repeal shall not be construed
to embrace special statutes relating to
specified reservations Or tracts of land,
which, to discharge treaty stipulations
or tor other purpose separate and dis
tlnct from the general law, are requir-
ed to be sold for cash to actual settlers
OF under the provisions of the law
allowing prescriptions Of the public
lands.
See. 2. That all duly qualified per-
sons who, prior to the date of this act,
have in good faith and in compliance
with existing laws made pre-emption
settlements on the public lands sub
ject thereto, shall be entitled to perfect
their entries and receive patents under
said laws.
Section. 3. That no persons who
has made, or shall hereafter make, a
homestead entry on the public lands
shall be entitled to avail himself of
the provisions of sections 2,301 Of the
revised statutes of the United States,
until he shall have resided upon and
cultivated the land embraced in such
entry for the full period of eighteen
months provided however, that in
case Of the death of a party who has
made homestead entry, it shall be
competent for his successor in interest
under the law to make entry under
said section at any time thereafter.

Robert MacLean, a Young man

Robert MacLean, young man of
twenty-nine years, last week attempt
ed the assassination of Queen Victoria
by shooting at her with apistol. His
shot went wide of its mark, and no one
was hurt, but he will, or ought to be,
executed all the same. The simple
attempt to take such a life ought to
be enough to insure speedy death to
the perpetrator of the act

1t turns out from letters received
from the Iowa sheriffs who captured
the two desperadoes at Randolph, the
other day, that had those outlaws not
been apprehended, the state would
probably have been startled by this
time with series of daylight country
bank robberries in Dodge and adjoin-
ing counties which would have been
quite equal to anything Of late occur
renee in Missouri or Iowa. 1t seems
they were fairly loaded with plans of
and information concerning the loose
manner in which many country banks
in Wisconsin are guarded.-[State

West Virginia News and Notes.

MARR1ED.-At the residence of
Capt. James Wright, Dec. %, 1881,
by w. L. Van Horn, Mr.. JOS. E.
Simms and Miss Maggie L. Wright,
both of Putnam county, W. Va.
We hear that hereafter the
Charleston State will be run in the
interest of the Greenback party,
conducted by Thos. Swinburne and
John C. Neal.
PARDoNED.-Preble Blankenship,
of Wayne county, convicted of
counterfeiting at the last term Of
the U. S. Court, and sentenced to
two years in the Penitentiary, has
been pardoned by the Government.
The wool clip of West Virginia,
by the census Of 1880 was, in that
year, 674.769 feeces, the weight of
which was 1851 ,444 pounds, show
ing an. average Of 3.97 pounds to
the feece.-Pa1 Handle Neocs.

That dreadful disease, pink-eye,
has made its appearance in this

was the consequence.-P. PIT. Reg

Something About Whisky.

"What is whisky bringin ?" ask,
ed a dealer in that article one day
He meant to ask, how much is it
selling for?
A gentleman who heard the re-
mark took it in an entirely different
sense from that.
"What is whisky bringing do you
ask. I'll tell you. 1t is bringing
men to prison and to the gallows,
and it is bringing women and chill
dren to poverty and want"
There never was a truer answer
than that.
1t is estimated that it sends to
prison every. year one hundred
Thousand men and women.
Twenty thousand children are
sent to warehouses annually by
drink.
Three hundred murders are caus-
ed by intemperance every year
Two hundred thousand children
are made orphans every year by this
dreadful business; and sixty-fve
thousand are killed by intemper-
ance every year in this country.
Does it seem possible that man
will deal out to his brother such
poisonous stuff, when he knows that
it will prove his ruin?
Laws ought to be established and
put in force so affecting the rumsel-
Ter that no one would dare put up
his sign or stand behind the coun-
ter and deal out the fatal poison.
Visit our large cities. Over the
door of almost every other place of
business you will read Gales, wines
liquors and cigars" Gales on
draught" Lager beer saloon" &c.
How can the unwary escape, where
SO many traps are set for them :?
Villages rarely have such signs
over their doors, but then there are
"holes in the wall" protected by
few oyster shells, where the thirsty
can dodge in for glass Of stale
beer, if for nothing stronger, and
thus pave their way to destruction.

PREACHERS CoNvENT1oN.--The
preachers of the Cumberland Dis
trict, Baltimore Conference M. K.
Church, will hold Convention in
Piedmont, commencing Jan. 9th,
and continuing 6 days. The ad-
dress of welcome will be delivered
by Rev. H. H. Right. The pro-
gramme for the occasion consists of
sermons, essays, prayer-meetings,
temperance mass meeting, etc, and
we have no doubt the whole session
will be one of interest to the minis
ters and the citizens of Piedmont
Keyser Tribune.
The Rev. T. M. Hudson, a patri-
archal Methodist minister of West
Virginia, died on Friday at Wells
burg, in Brooke county, at the age of
50. He was the first minister to
preach in the Fourth Street Meth
odist Episcopal Church, in Wheel
ing, and also preached the last SER
mon in the same building before it
was demolished to give place to a
larger edifice. -Morganto,cn Post
Many of our readers will be inter
ested to know that it was Rev. L.
M. Hudson, who in the long ago
joined in wedlock Mr.. and Mrs. Eb-
enezer Martin, of Sistersville, whose
large family are now widely scat
tered and we'll known.
At last reports there had been for
ty-two conversions at the protracted
meeting held by Rev. G. M. Wade,

CANTON, Own. Hoffman, a
young farmer, while drunk, was
frozen to death in a field three
miles from Canton, last week.
The B. & O. authorities have is
sued an order instructing physi-
CLANS in the employ of the company
to vaccinate all those employed by
the road on the main stem and all
of its branches.
DEATH OF Mr.. EELLs.-We learn
from the Marietta Register of the re-
cent death of Mr.. John M. Eells, in
the ~ year of his age. He was long
identified with the Marietta Chair
Factory, and was an excellent and
honored citizen.
GOVERNORS DIsAGREE.-Gov. st.
John, of Kansas, demands the re-
turn of man named Martin, con-
victed of violating the Kansas liq-
uor laws and fined 800. Gov. Crit
tenden, of Missouri, refuses to honor
the requisition, on the ground that
the Federal Constitution does not
require the surrender of man for
debt.
THE AssAssIN's TRIAL.-The
lengthy and remarkable trial of
Guiteau seems to be drawing to a
close at last. The legal points in
the case are now being argued by
the able counsel, and both sides are
struggling for favorable instruc-
tions from the Court, the only hope
of the defense heing to raise a
doubt with the jury. The country
will be relieved when it is all over.
TRIPLE MURDER.-A horrible
triple murder was recently commit
ted at Ashland, KY, the victims
being little boy aged three years,
a girl aged six, and a young lady
aged IA. The house was burned
over the victims, and it is supposed
the persons of the girls were Outrag-
ed, and the house fired to hide the
crime. Three men have been ar
rested, one Of whom confesses the
fiendish acts. 1t was hard to save
them from the mob.
SHocKING-But few weeks ago
Mrs. Earhart, of Harmar, committed
suicide, because of the criminal acts
of her husband, with a Miss Hamp-
ton, of Gallipolis, and now comes
the shocking sequel in the late
marriage of Capt. Earhart and the
woman whose life was the death of
his first wife. The Register SAYS his
eldest daughter, Sallie, has left, and
that his sister-in-law, Miss Weldon,
will close the house and take the
other children away.

A TERRIBLE SCENE.-AtL atrobe,
Pa, few days ago, Mr.. Karnes
and his bride who were just mar
ried and starting on an extensive
tour, were alighting from a train to
visit some relatives there, when the
bride stepping off on the wrong side
was instantly torn in pieces by
passing train before the eyes of her
husband, who had a moment before
stepped back for a forgotten pack
age. The scene and the outbursts
of grief from the Mortified husband
was heart-rending.

Notes by Alpha.


A ride of fourteen miles across the
country on the afternoon of Dec.
30th was something to be remem-
bered. My feelings were much hurt
by the cold which increased each
hour with biting intensity.
At last, "a light in the window"
cheered the sinking spirit with the
hope OF shelter aud comfort. In this
there was no disappointment. The
young friend who met us at Clarks-
burg ought to have good wife, for
he is good fellow. True, he fell of
his horse, but a broken girth, and
not rum was to blame. 1t was little
notifying that the fall should oc-
cur in the streets of Lumberport.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
ATLANTA, Ga, June 9.-Senator Ben Hill, &C
companied by his wife and son. Ben Hill, IT,,
arrived at lao o'clock this afternoon from
Eureka Springs, Ark. The interior of the depot
was crowded, as was also the street outside,
with the pride of Atlantas people, his nearest,
dearest and truest friends. On the approach of
the train the crowd gathered closer together,
anxious for the first glance at Georgia's beloved
son, whose sad affection they have incurred so
sincerely, and when he approached on the plat
form, tenderly supported by his son-in-law, Mr.
Edgar Thompson, it was the signal for silent
acclaim OF sorrow. Not one in the crowd but
whose heart sank at the ravages wrought upon
his majestic frame, in the wearing of his cruel
afiiction. Travel-wOrn, bed-weary, pale and
emaciated, he stood. with something of a
shadow Of despair in his great sad eyes that
were wont to flash to the fire of eloquence from
his patriotic soul, and slowly raising his right
hand he lifted his hat, painfully it seemed in
the exertiOn, In token of recognition of bis
friends. He was escorted to his carriage be-
tween the throng. which made a causeway for
him and his aforementioned wife, and with
barred heads and silence the crowd saw him
enter the vehicle and driven away to his home
The sight was the most solemn and Impressive
that Atlanta, perhaps, ever witnessed and If
the earnest prayers OF her people will avail Sem
atOr Hill has not come home to die.
