A Successful Raid.

Raiders Enter Minister'S Home, Sur
prise the Family, and take Posses
SION.
ED. FREEMAN: Early on Tuesday
morning, Oct. Oath, our house was
assaulted and completely taken by
surprise.
Mrs. G. and myself were quietly
sitting at the Preside, when DR.. J.
L. Henseley entered very abruptly,
and kicked our little boys play
things around in a most unceremo-
NOUS manner, and left the room
without any explanation Of his
strange antics; and before we had
time, scarcely, to speak of his con
duct, Gas the Doctor is very affa-
BILE gentleman, as all who are ac-
quainted with him know, there
was a boisterous knock at our front
door. When Mrs. &. opened the
door, I saw she was completely tax
en- aback, and l sprang to my feet,
put my writing aside, (and l don't
know to this day what 1 did with
it), went to the door and met Rev.
A. S. Blagg, pastor Of Union Cir
cult, and lady; and looking down
the street saw sight that
made me feel queer, to be sure; but
when ascertained what it meant,
I felt glad and happy. There were
express wagons and buggies
stretching far down the street and
out the alley, filled with people,
and produce of all kinds.
Bro. Blagg's people had conceiv-
ed the idea of doing a good thing
for their Presiding Elder, along
with Bro. Martins people Of the
N. H. Station. The rooms of our
house were soon full to overlooking
with the good people from Vernon,
Union, Claylick, and Oak Grove ap-
pointments on the Union Circuit,
and several of the good friends of
New Haven.
One of our rooms soon looked
more like a produce and grocery
store than anything else. 1t was
literally crammed with -four,
wheat, Irish potatoes, sweet pota-
toes, beans, pork, butter, dry-goods,
pickles, tea, sugar, coffee, APP
pies, cabbage, molasses, honey, jel-
lies, rice, coffee-boiler, canned fruit,
chickens, dead and alive, pies, eggs,
various kinds of cakes, rolls, bread,
milk, turnips, and one patent
husking-peg from the hardware
man on Main street.
A bountiful repast was spread
and participated in by the raiders
and the family, with much avidity.
After dinner the presentation
speech was made by Rev. A. S.
Blagg, who planned and done much
to carry out this pleasant affair
We tried to reply, but words
were inadequate to express our feel
ings. We were so overwhelmed
with this spontaneous outburst of
kindness, on the part of these
strange but kind brethren and sis
tiers, that our feelings oyercame US.
DR.. Henseley followed in very
touching and appropriate remarks.
Last but not least, were the ten
der words of Hon. Lewis Bumgar-
ner.
Rev. J. W. Martin was present
part of the time, but he left before
this pleasant episode took place.
DR.. III. closed with prayer.
Who will dare say that the peo-
pie of West Virginia are not a no.
bic, generous-hearted people?
These good folks served their
Pastor, Rev, A. S. Blagg, the same
way about three weeks ago.
May the Master tenderly care for
all such kind friends!

A scheme is on foot in Kansas to de-

meet next Thursday at Topeka to see
what can be done in the way of cOmbi-

KAssAssIN, Sept. 9.-The attack of the
enemy has been repulsed but the action
still continues along the front, which
extends distance of three miles. All
the troops are out from the British camp
and the wounded are now being brought
in, but the total casualties not yet ex-
actly known, and the British loss is
roughly estimated at one hundred killed
and wounded. Many shells fell in the
British camp before the enemy were
repulsed.

the whole thing is a snObbish and pinch
back imitation of the eXclusiveness of
European royalty. Mr.. Arthur desires
to go to New York and along the New
England coast. for which there are bet
ter public than Government facilities.
But the notion is there must be au aris-
tOcratic eXcluSiveness about the trip.
SO he orders ups Government war vessel
manned,by accomplished officers and gal
liant sailors, with a royal guard of mar
ines; the Presidents standard" floats
from the main mast, and Mr.. Arthur and
his valet, and his daughter and her
maid and companion. the French cook
and the butler, and The poodle dog and
the pet canary, all set sail down the
Potomac for COney Island, Newport and a
good time generally.
And then of course Chandler had to
start off in the same way, and now it is
FOlger-each with a Government vessel
for his own and his friends use. The
laws are so stringent about the use of
Government vessels, that gallant old
Farragut could not carry with him his
wife and family between two foreign
ports. Yet the Presidents clerks can
order public vessel ready for sea when
ever they please, and for their own pri-
vate use. If this sort of thing keeps on,
a culinary prOfessOrship will have to be
added at Annapolis, so that our naval
officers may be qualified to minister to
all the wants of political tramps like

MERRICK, of the prosecution of the
Star route cases, concluded his plea with
the following timely remarks:
"TheTe is no more GER tain evidence of
national decay than the existence of any
considerable amount of peculatiOn
among officials. The Well-being of a
nation is in precise proportion to the
official purity in which the administra-
tiOn of her official affairs is conducted
In official purity is the invariable con-
cOmitant of national vigOr and national
greatness. Official corruption and pee
ulatiOn in Office go hand in hand with
national decline and national ruin, and
are in fact the principal cause of ma
tiOnal disaster. No government can
live while its officials thrive by pecula-
tiOn. In the name, then, of the people
of the United States and of their Gov
ernment, in the name of honesty and
honor and the outraged majesty of the
law, in the name of the sanctity of the
treasury of the United States, which
these men have burglariOusly entered,
and which officials have allowed them
burglariOusly to enter; in the name of
our hope for the future, in the name of
the preservation of our institutions and
the supremacy of the law, and right,
and honor over vice and criminality
and illegality, l demand from you, gen.
tlemen of the jury, verdict of guilty
against these defendants"

MAJOR MCKINLEY FAVORED THE
RIVER AND HARBOR STEAL.

The News-Register devOtes a quarter
of column to the work of showing that
the Democratic minority in Congress is
equally responsible for the ten million
steal, known as the River and HarbOr
bill. The Registers conclusions are
correct, no doubt, in general way, but
the people are getting tired of these
generalities, and want to know just
where TO place the individual RESPONSE
bility. To the voters of the 18th Dis
trict, it is much more important to
know how their representative stood on
that question. 1t has been charged and
has not been denied that Major McKin-
ley favored the bill on its original pas
sage, and paired off with a member who
would have voted against it. If this is
true, the News-Register would do better
to utilize its space in trying to convince
the people that the River and HarbOr
bill was wise and just measure, and
not ''steal" as President Arthur de-
clared it to be.-Alliance Review.

BEGGARs ON HORSEBACK.

Messrs. Arthur, FOlger and Chandler
are at this time appTOpriating three
United States vessels for their private
enjoyment, on pleasure excursions
along the Atlantic coast. This is another
aping of European snObbishness and ex-
clusiVeness. When Mr.. Buchanan was
President, Howell Cobb, the Secretary
of the Navy, thought it would be pleas
ant thing to take party of friends
down the Potomac to Fortress Monroe
in the revenue cutter Harriet Lane, then
at the Washington navy yard. He did
so, and they had good time; but when
Mr.. Buchanan heard of it he called
Secretary Cobb to account very quick,
and further directed an accurate state
ment of expenses of the vessel to be
made out, and gave his individual check
to the Treasury for the amount. This
was about the most severe rebuke that
could be administered, and there was no
more jHnketing during Mr.. Buchanan's
administration at the public expense.
1t WIS not question of the money in
vOlved, but the principle at stake.
This practice of using Government
vessels for the private enjoyment and
pleasures of officials began under Grant
and SecOr RObesOn, and of course con-
tinued by Hayes out of downright dead
beat prOclivities more than any care for
ostentatiOn. The idea at the bottom Of

date for the annual cheap excursion to
Chicago, via the old reliable and pOpu-
lar Fort Wayne" These annual pleas
ure trips have become very popular
with the people, and are looked forward
to with great interest. The pleasure of
trip to the great Metropolis of the
Northwest; the opportunity to visit
friends and relatives in that region, and
to obtain a short respite from the tolls
and cares of every day life, is hailed
with delight by all, especially when the
cost of making the trip is placed at a
mere nominal figure. The Chicago Ex-
position will be in full blast, and the
great Chicago Horse Fair will be open.
Make all necessary arrangements to
join the excursion this year. If you
have never been to Chicago, go now. If
you have been there before, go again.
The pleasure of the trip will amply re-
pay you. Posters and circulars an.
nOuncing time of trains and rates will
be out in a few days, and can be obtain
ed from agents of the company at all
stations. Remember the date, Tuesday,
