DEATH OF Mrs. f. A. SHEAN.-Mrs.
Frank A. Shean died at the residence
Of her mother, Mrs. Shay, in this
place on Saturday July 22d aged
about % years. Mrs. Shean had
been i'll and suffered intensely for
more than two months prior to her
death from a complication Of diseases,
though the immediate cause Of her
death was blood poisoning. She was
very popular and intelligent lady.
Her death will leave a vacant place
in society and in the home circle
that can never be filed. The bcreav-
ed husband has the sympathy of the
community in his deep affection.
While the death Of n friend always
creates sadness, in this case it seems
unusually so; the young couple hav-

prospects, pleasant surroundings and
the best wishes of their host Of
friends.
The funeral took place on Monday
afternoon at A o'clock; interment in

was granted by the Court, though
the counsel for the prisoners objected
and insisted on an immediate trial.
A motion was then made to admit

and they were remanded to jail

and for two days they struggled
with no indication as to what the
result would be, but on the third day
Pool threw up the sponge and Muse
was declared the winner. During
the race over five hundred dozens Of
wheat were cut. The race was
watched with much interest by the
other men who were present. Mr..
Wells informs that his wheat crop is
excellent and will yield much above
the average.

JOHN KING, THE Most REMARKABLE
MAN IN MT. MoRRIs.-On Wednes-
day of last week Mr.. John King, of
Mt. Morris, Pa, in company with j.
F. Wade and Charley Burris, made
this office call. There is nothing
remarkable about this part of the
story as our Office is frequently TO-
vored with social and business calls
from prominent men in all this sec
ton of country. But in conversation
with Mr.. King we learned that this
was his first visit to Morgantown,
though he was born and brought up
only IL miles away and that he was
then about s miles further from home
than he had ever been before. In
plain English he had never been more
than four miles from home prior to
his visit to Morgantown. Though
raised within few miles of the Mon
ongahela river he had never seen that
stream until that day. He had never
seen a steam boat, nor a locomotive,
though the former are constantly
upon the Monongahela about seven
or eight miles from his home. Con-
trary to what might be expected, we
found him an intelligent, agreeable.
gentleman. He is considered quite
a scholar and difficult arithmetical
questions are often given him for So
luton that he invariably. solves cor
rectly and quickly. He is medium
sized man 80 years of age, quite
handsome and companionable, with
mild dark eyes and dark beard. He
has taught school in his neighbor-
hood two or three terms and given
entire satisfaction to his patrons.
For several years past he has been
clerking in Mr. Frank Morris's store,
in which capacity he is very popular
and efficient. Mr.. Kings history
struck us as being remarkable in
this day of railroads when trip to
Europe is considered a very small
matter. He expressed his intention
of seeing more of the world in the
future than in the past and we hope
he will carry out his intention. We
extend an invitation to him and his
companions to call and see us again.

Mr.. c. NJ. DAWSON has sent in his
resignation as Superintendent of the
West Fairmont and Marion Consoli-
dated Mines, and is disposing of his
effects in order to leave us at as early
day as possible. His resignation
has not yet been accepted, but as
soon rs it is he will take his depar-
ture. His intention is to return to
New York City, but he does not know
what he will engage in. However,
he has no fears about finding en-
ployment, and he need not have, as
surely his intelligence and fine4 bust
ness qualifications will be recognized
and appreciated anywhere. We, with
all our people, regret to know that he
has resolved to leave us. He will be
greatly missed in this community.
We wish him no i'll luck, but hope
something may turn up that will
cause him to reconsider the question
of removal, and that he may decide
to stay with us while longer.-West

Gently visited Fairmont, but soon
received very pointed invitation to
leave. The Vest Vtrgtnidn of last
week describes his departure thusly
"Bill Holt, alias "Slide," colored, of
Morgantown, had been loafing about
town for some time, and made him
self a general pest by stealing every
thing useful that he could lay his
hands on. Deputy Sergeant Hall
was ordered to arrest himyand seeing
him one day near the depot made for
him, but "Slide" took to his heels
and ran to the saw mill close by, fol-
lowed by the Deputy. But "Slide"
proved himself more agile than his
pursuer, and skipped about among
the timbers of the mill in way that
would have surprised monkey.
Finally, however, he left the mill and
made for the river bank and into the
river, wading out as far as he could.
Hall stood and watched him for some
time, and then acted as if he intended
to follow him into the water "Slide"
Immediately began to swim as if for
dear life, and the Sergeant, who is
also our mail carrier was compelled
to 60 and attend to his other duties.
He, however, left a young man to
look after "Slde." who finally came
ashore and was captured and placed
in Jail. Subsequently he was released
and sent by the town authorities TO
his native heath"
