The State Teachers Association
will meet at Kingwood, Preston
county, on July II, II and 18th.
When the new building be erected
by the Schmulbach Brewing Com
pany at Wheeling is finished, the
concern will be one of the most com
plete in the country, and with ca
pacity of $4,000 barrels per year.
Work on the Wheeling and Lake
Erie road is progressing rapidly.
The track was completed to Fremont
last week, and from thence will be
pushed to Toledo. Eighty miles are
now completed and the road is doing
large business. The line will be
in running order to Toledo, it is sta
ted, by July.
An act of the last legislature re-
uuires that all grand juries shall be
selected by lot. A county court
must furnish not less than one hun
dred nor more than one hundred and
fifty names, each name written sep
arately on slip and dropped into a
box from which the clerk of the Cir
cult Court must draw the sixteen
required.
The young fire-bugs, who are i'm
plicated in the burning of the North
Wheeling glass works, were students
of the pernicious pictorial and sensa
tional literature with which the
country is flooded and which is prov
ing a curse to many juveniles who
are permitted to read what they
please. The direct effect of this
literature is to educate the young
for our jails and penitentiaries.
Gratifyingaccounts of progress are
received from the heretofore almost
unknown land of Tucker county.
The character of the farming is i'm
proving, and the farms are much
more intelligently and pro6tably
cultivated than formerly. The peO-
pie are experiencing the benefits of
the schools, and there is a general
waking up to new ideas, indicating
an advance all along the line.
In West Virginia there were &c.
IT'S farms in 1870, and in 1880, g.
GA. OF the last, so, 673 were occus
pied by their owners, 1922 rented
for a money rental, and 1893 rented
on shares. OF the total number of
farms, sixty-four were under three
acres, 2,797 under ten acres, 3,463
under twenty, SASS under fifty, A.
461 under 100, 30,301 under 500, q

An Ohio man, who would proba-

Senator Mitchell will represent

Murat Halstead should now be
happy. The decision of the lower
court in the Guiteau case is going TO
be affirmed. There is every reason
to believe, however, that Guiteau
will be displeased at the result.
The Gate City, of Keokuk, thinks
that the Republicans will be looking
about in 1884 for a pupular man to
nominate for the presidency, and
that Samuel j. Kirkwood will be
just the man they will stand in need
of. 1t says that eff he is alive and

peat the victories of Lincoln and
Garfield"
The New York Tribune, in speak
ing of the recent creation of de-

House Cabinet, says the President
should have 1.-The aid and advice of

him for approval affect either of
these branches of industry far more
frequently and directly than agri-
culture"

The son of a wealthy Wheeling
merchant who disappeared several
years since, after disappointment
in love affair, and was supposed
to be dead, was recently discovered
among the workmen in a mine in
Leadville by Wheeling man who
was exploring the underground
workings. The fugitive, on finding
himself recognized, sent a letter to
his father, stating that he was de-
termined never to return home.
His family intend to visit Leadville
in order to see him. He has made
money and accumulated about $40
600, and only works in the mines to
shut himself out from the world.

There is a very general impress
sion, among people at least who
work for their living, that a man
who offers to work for nothing is
really a little too anxious, or has
some Interior purpose in view. The
voters of the Third Ward will elect
Andy GraZer, a man of excellent
character and good sound business
Judgment and honest as the days are
long. The Ward cannot be repre-
sented by a better or more careful
man. This is the judgment of large
majority of the VOTERS.

A PRISONER escaped from the
Indiana penitentiary and went to
the Governor in person for pardon.
The official told him he could not
entertain the application unless he
returned to prison, whereupon the
convict went back to the peniten-
tiary and gave himself up. The
pardon hasn't arrived yet, but it
should before long.

THE farmers of Minnesota, who
have scarcely got their wheat in the
ground, will hear with envy that
their brother farmers of Arkansas
are already in the midst of their
harvest. The cheering news is given
that in spite of the flood the wheat
crop for this season is the best in ten
years, in some counties averaging
twenty bushels to the acre. The
first winter wheat is usually exhib-
tied in market about the first of
June, but in many localities in
Arkansas it is now ready for ship
ment.

Mr.. Frazer's son went through the
railroad shops on Thursday, circu-
lating extra copies of the Statesman
containing low personal attacks on
the present Mayor. From the man
ner of circulating the paper / sup
pose Mr.. Frazer endorses all that was
in it. Railroad men remember the
vile personal abuse which this paper
once heaped upon Mr.. Darius Darby,
one of the best cetiZens of our town,
and also its continued abuse, with
out cause, of the railroad. Mr.. Fra

THE May report of the condition
of winter wheat, by the statistician
of the Department of Agriculture,
makes the average for the entire
breadth 100, the standard of undi-
minished vitality and medium
growth. Rye is in good condition,
the general average being SO.

IT is understood that the decision
of the court in banc upon the Gui-
teau appeal will be unanimous in af-
firming the rulings of Judge Cox. 1t
is rumored that one of the judges
has some misgiyings as to the ques-
tion of jurisdiction, and that there
was some doubt as to question ask
ed Mrs. Dunmire when she was tes-
tifying; but these difficulties are not
held to be grave enough to affect the
unanimity of the court. 1t is an
nounced that the decision will be
rendered on Monday next. 1t is
probable, however, that as soon as
this decision is rendered and Gui-
teau's doom appears to be inevitable,
all the sloppy humanitarians, and
long-haired men and short-haired
women and persons opposed to cap
ital punishment, will begin a pres
sure upon President Arthur for a
pardon or a communication of the SEN
tence. The mush mills of sentimen-
tally will all be set to work in his
favor; crank doctors will begin to
advertise themselves by writing
communications to the papers
about "Guiteau's peculiar type of
insanity" pressures of all sorts will
be brought to bear to save the life of
this horrible, cold-hearted wretch.
But justice is better than sentiment.
IF ever criminal had an indulgent
trial, Guiteau was the man. Now
the law ought to take it's course.
