SNOW ON THE ROOF.

The roofs of one-fonrth of the houses in this
city leaking, owing TO the snow having
banked up in such way that the water cannot
run off through the cutters, and is thus forced
in under the shingles This will occasion great
damage to the buildings and TO carpets and
furniture. A number of roofs, chiefly of dwell
ings, STABLES, and other light structures, unable
to bear the weight of snow, saturated with wa
ter broke down yesterday The roof of Lieder-
kranz Han, though the building is of brick and
substantial, threatened TO fall, but was braced
up from below, and with the exception of a
slight break, weathered the strain. The roof of
Emery's saw-mIl fell through. The damage in
both cases is slight.
The roof of Crows blacksmith and carpen-
ter shop. on st. Mary's street, and John Hitch
ing's shop, on Fort Wayne avenue, caved in last
evening from the weight of snow upon them.

WEST NIRGINIA'S TWENTIETH
BIRTHDAY.

TN the twentieth day of June, lS5$,
twenty years ago to-day, the State
of West Virginia was born into the
Union of States, and the ceremonies at
tending that event were concluded in
this city 10y the Inauguration of Hon.
A. l. FOREMAN, of Wood county, its
first Governor, aud the organization of
its first Legislature.
1t was the elimination of an ambi-
ton which had been lurking in the
population of West Virginia for thirty
years or more, but it was reserved for a
great national calamity to open an OPP
pOrtunity which u people seized up
on with q keener sense of eXpediency
than Of serupulous constitutional pro-
prieties.
The first act in the series of events
that led to the formation of q new
State, may be said to be that Of the
Richmond convention in April, 1861,
which adopted the ordinance declaring
Virginia seeded from the Union. Our
section Of the State was fully repre-
sented in that convention, but q ma
jorlty Of her members voted against it,
and returned home to denounee the
action with such vigor as to fan the
a~nti-seeeSsion sentiment Of Western
Virginia into a fierce revolutionary
fame.
In response to this sentiment repre-
sentatives from twenty-five western
counties met at Wheeling on the 18th
day Of May, 1851, less than one month
after the passage Of the ordinance of
secession, and adopted resolutions de-
nouneing the ordinance OF secession and
providing for a convention of all the
counties of Virginia adhering to the
Federal government.
This convention, representing forty

counties Of the old State, assembled at
Wheeling on the fifth of June, 1851.
They proceeded to repudiate the action
of the Richmond convention, and to
reorganize the Government of the old
State under the title of the "Reorgan-
lied Government Of Virginia." with
Hon. Il. H. PIERPoINT as its executive
head.
This body then called a new State
constitutional convention which in
augurated its labors in this city on the
a6th of November, 1861. A new con-
yention was framed, the consent of the
Legislature of "Reorganized Virginia"
TO the formation of the new State was
given on the 18th of May, 1852, Con-
gress passed an act admitting West Vir-
ginia into the Union as a State, Presi-
dent LINCOLN approved it on the 3lst
Of December, 1862, a general election
for the new State government was held
on the 2Sth May, and on the Goth of
June, 1863 forty-eight counties of the
territory West of the Blue Ridge be-
came an independent State. Subse-
quently the counties of Berkeley and
jefferson were added, and since there
have been four new counties formed
out of parts of the original number.
This is an outline of the events which
have given us an existence as an indie
pendent State and which will be re-
viewed with interest to-day by many
OF our people who were the moving
spirits in those exciting times and who
still remain on the field Of action bat
ting with the industrial problems that
have superseded the political conflicts
Of the earlier days OF our young State.
Two score years have been marked
10y a steady and gratifying progress in
the growth and development of our lit
tie republic that fiatters the pride of our
people and opens a future of ambitious
speculations. When West Virginia
was admitted as q State her total pop
ulation as shown in the counties now
included numbered S76,6Ss. The in
crease in these counties in the decade
from 1850 to 1860 va about p per cent.
Since that time she has nearly doubled
her population; the last census showing
a population of ! G,443, and an increase
during the decade between 1870 and
1850 of nearly 10 per cent.
We might enumerate at great length
the many other evidences OF her in
dustrial growth and prosperity; we
might dilate upon her infinite resources
which nature has deposited in her
lap; we might tell of hergreat oaks and
her ron, her ore and her coal, the inn
mese wealth Of timber growing upon
her surface, which is being manu-
actured by a perpetual water power
that leaps from the crags of he noun
taius down into her gentle valleys; but
all the world begins to know and a?-
prcclate these things.
such a State as West Virginia, so full
Of the varied treasures Of the forest and
mine, within a few hours OF the sea,
with its natural and acquired facilities
for transit always developing and
improving, with it, green pastures flow

was precipitated By, or had its origin in,
whisky. Black Hawk. whom I well re-

my fathers house, was strictly temperate;
he never INDUCED in liquor. in any form
and. therefore, you can imagine how thor
oughly vexed he was when he heard that
one OF our early settlers, living on an ISL
and. was secretly selling large quantities
Of liquor to members Of his tribe. The
more he thought the matter over the more
angry he became till finally he went to the
store of the offender and knocked in the
heads of six barrels of whisky. The owner
made complaint to the state authorities
and the militia was called out to suppress
