An'inleresting legal question was raised
by the attorneys for the defendants -
whether the deed made by the Recorder
OF Upshur county on the 18th OF October,
1872, under which the plaintiffs held, was
valid. Z r ~ H.,iz IA il'lY.-
The defendant insisted that it could be
shown that there were certain irrcsulari-
tics committed by the officers who made
the sale Of the 100000 acres, in not report.

had been made and other particulars; and
offered the books and papers in the office
OF the clerk Of the county court in rein

The Aenson Thus Far.

Three heavy irosts occurred lust week.
the first decided irosts Of the season-
viz: on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nishts-andtho woodsy ycsterday showed the
effects OF them. The leaves are now not
only turned, but The dropping of process
is in full tide. We have seldom seen 80
yrcat change wrought In few days. The
forests will Isoon be full Of dead leaves.
These frosts, however, were timely. Ma.
,ure very kindly held buck until the late
corn was entirely ready for them-in fact
needed them. The consequence is that y
well matured crop Is now hardening and
drying in excellent condition. The corn
could mol have been more favored than It
has been this fall, aud the yield is not only
large but the quality will grade high Not
only has the corn been benefited by these
irosts, but also the growing wheat. The
fall sowing WIS coming forward too fast.
Many ol the fields looked as green and
rank in their growth us in April, after a
favorable win,or, aud these cold nights
and heavy frosts have furnished timely
check. OF course the lingering vegetables
Of the season, sncl, US tomatoes, arc now
cut short, but in these days Of canned
iruit no one need have special regrets on
tim, account. AS showing tho remarkable
character Of the full thus far our attention
WIS called on Saturday to bunch Of juicy
stnwberies-the second crop Of the sea-
son-srown over in Belmont county. This
Is usual occurrence in this latitude,
md we put it on record as one Of the pecu-
liaries OF this peculiar season. ~ .t,
The weather still continues 10 be all that
the farmers could DESIRE. Many OF them
are hauling wheat, potatoes and hay to the
city. There were large deliveries OF wheat
to the Pacific Mills here last week, the
streets al times being quite crowded with
teams. The price is one dollar per busllel.
Theprice seems 10 be generally satisfactory
TO the farmers, although US compared with
the higher prices for the old crop it con-
trasls unfavorably to the minds Of some OF
them. That it is generally satisfactory,
however, is shown by the increased acre
age sown this fall. The farmers are follow
ing the old rule, to bet on winning card,
and wheat has been a winning card in this
region Of late years. 4,
Potatoes came in pretty freely last week,
and ms rule they looked sound and were
Of good size. They sell Mt all sorts Of prices
from GO to - cents. While there is an
abundance Of them they are not going
to be drug oa the market, and the price
has a tendency 10 firmness. 9 FE9'4 D
The pasture is still excellent in the
country, and hay and other feed is not be.
iug lrenched upon to any material extent.
Thcpresent prospect is that any amount OF
hay will be for sale this winter 1t is
freely offered at this time und some large
consumers are supplying themselves at $40
per ton. ySs
We congratulate our country readers on
the results Of the year to them. 1t has
been good year. As our old, eccentric
friend Ninian Beall expressed it on Satur.

We presume that we violate no conf.
dence in giving the following extract from
aprivate letter received yesterday at this
Office from Mr.. John W. Mason, Of the Sec.
ond District, in regard to the present stu
aIion OF the result in his district: VA.
- ~ have as yet seen no evidence
OF any intention on the part Of the Demo-,
Gratis to act ir.udulcntly us 10 the count,
YET feel that whatever examination and
inquiry is necessary should be made rs n
matter OF justice to my friends and to the
party. ., 1t now looks MS though may
be beaten by few votes-less than a
dozen. This seems too bad, when l might
just AS well have had 1000 or, more majora
ity. The trouble was could not get our
friends to see how l was to overcome 2,2247
majority. In fact, didn't see it very clear
y myself. The revolt in the ranks Of the
Democrats was greater than even I cup
posed. At least 5000 Republicans
remained away from the polls Tor no other,
reason than tits no use 10 vote-there's no
chance Of electing Mason" 1t was a very
reasonable conclusion on their part must
admit, and ! have no fault to find with any
one Yours truly, ~ " ~.
JouS W. Mason. -
This is characteristic letter from Mr..
Mason, and in keeping with all our CORES.
ponlence with him during the canvass.
We can only say TINT he does not seem to
feel rs bad over the result as do a multitude
Of his friends, who for the good Of the cause
rs also for high regard and admiration OF
Mr. Mason personally wished hin, success.
We dcplore tho result as a loss TO West
Virginia in the next Congress, where we
te|t sire tllat the good sense md weight
Of general character on the part 1of Mr..
Mason would tell not only Oh behalf Of
wi'e legislation generally, but inurc TO the
behe;!l Of this State in particular.
Personally, this defent is no great loss to
Mr.. Mason. The canvass and the result
have served to bring n modest, capable
and seryiceablc laan to his true place ut
tie front. It Is seen now what capacity
lehad to impress the masses as he pursued
his toilsome way among them during hts
@Aluoas canvass with m appreciation Of
candid and intelligent discussion, and in
this respect he has performed Il, service for
sound views in politics that has never been
surpassed in my campaign in the State.
As lor Mr.. Alason himself, he Is a man who

asshey never did before, and they will not
