matter in hand and determine upon some sys-

the roads this winter, will not be again re-
peated.

DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN P. DEyINE.-No death
that has occurred in this community for a
long time has created a profounder degree of
regret than that of Mr.. John P. Devine, which
occurred at Huntington on last Sunday. He
was a young man whom every one liked
generous, straightforward. courteous, and
gentleman wherever you CHANGED to meet him.
His death was the result of an accident on the
railroad. The locomotive of which he was

weeks ago on the western extension of the c.
Il o. road, and the fireman was killed Mr..
Divine was thought to be but slightly injured
at the time He was removed to Huntington
and no serious apprehensions of the result
were entertained. Subsequently it was de-
yeIoped that severe internal injuries had been
received, and despite the most careful atten-
zion death ensued. Mr.. Devne leaves young
wife, formerly Miss Le1a Sierer, of this city.
His friends were numerous and sincere, for
ais was nature that won upon the esteem
and affection Of all with whom he was thrown
in contact.
The funeral took place from st. Francis
Church on Tuesday, large concourse of
friends being il attendance.

Singular Deaths.-I learned day or two
ago of two rather singular deaths. Mr.. John
Kirby, who lives in the neighborhood of Cri-
mora Station, on the S. V. r. R., about miles
north of here, had two daughters aged respec-
lively about nine and eleven years. For sey-
eral days they had both been complaining of
pains in their heads. and on Wednesday night,
the 18th ult., they both retired as usual Some
time during the night their mother went to
their bed to see if they were comfortable, and
found them, as she supposed, both asleep, but
on closer examination the elder of the two
was found to be dead, the corpse was still
warm and life must have been extinct but a
short time. The corpse was removed from the
bed, and the morning following the other
daughter, after she arose and dressed herself,
stepped to back door and blew her nose,
which started a rather free hemorrhage of
blood, which, however was soon checked. She
then threw herself down upon lounge that
was in the room, and in a very short time she
also was dead. They were both buried in the
same grave on the 18th inst. The above state
ment got direct from Mr.. Obedah Kirby,
the grandfather of the deceased children.
Death on the Rail.-Intelgence of the kill
ing by a train on the G. & O. Ry, near Paint
Greek Station. W. Va, of Mr.. VIM. w Zeig-
Ter, former resident of this town, was recev-
ed here on last Tuesday, the 21st instant No
particulars were given, and his father, Mr.. A.
Zeigler, who is an employe of the G. & o. Ry.
at this depot, took the Tuesday night express
for that place. but in consequence of the de-
tention of the train, he reached there after the
burial. From the father l have learned the
following facts His son for several years had
been engaged with an Engineering Corps in
that section, and at the time Of his death was
on visit to brother who lives short dis
lance west of Paint Greek station. On the
night of the goth ult:, the deceased started
from his brothers to 60 to the telegraph office
at the station to send business dispatch to
Charleston, VIVA. He was supposed to have
been walking on the railroad, and a freight
train running at an unusual rate of speed

THE MARKET

The markets in the centres of trade have expert
enced violent fluctuations, nor has there been any
very noticeable results from the depression occa-
stoned by the collapse several weeks ago. Prices
had somewhat recovered in Chicago, and marked
slight advance, especially in corn based correct
estimate of the supply which makes 1t less than
was before calculated on. Wheat sympathized with
this improvement to degree but there is nothing
in the local situation to the expectation of
any considerable advance. The speculative quota
lions which ruled several weeks ago, prevented Eu
ropean shipments, and this delay or hitch in trans
actions must necessarily assure larger surplus to
be carried over to the crop this year, which 1t
estimated will be unusually large, If the acreage
uation in Europe may have the effect to stifren
prices, especially If the threatened complication
between Russia ana France, the one side, and
Germany and Austria on the other continues to ex
cite apprehens1ons The rapid concentration of Aus
trian troops on the upper Danube and the s1multa-
attention to fortihcations by Germany and Aus
tria taken as abundant evidence that there is
something very serious in the councils of those
powers. France is understood to hold an intimate
alliance with Russia, Italy and Denmark, while
Russia and Austria maintain friendly relations
and seem to be looking to defensive diplomacy, as
the antecedent of more sanguinary demonstrations
would bring into the field immense consuming
forces, Austria 100000 men, Germany 1,5OO 1000
aggregating 100000; while Russia could marshall
