Mr.. j. M. Bennett, President Of the
Weston a. Buckhannon railroad, Sat
urday last, upon the completion of
the road to Buckhannon, handed
Mayor Phillips and DR.. Newton two
bronzed spikes, which, in his speech,
he designated as gold and silver, but
which, in fact, were iron spikes
bronzed so as to give them the ap-
pearances Of gold and silver. The
thieves thought they were real gold
and silver and Saturday night stole
the crosstie in which they were
driven. We have no doubt they
were greatly chagrined when they
ascertained they had all Of their

TEACHERS INsTrrUTE.-TheT Teach
ers' Institute for Monongalia county
convened at the Public School Hall
on Monday at P. N. There were
seventy four teachers enrolled, there
being considerably more gentlemen
than ladies, the latter, however,
making up in quality their lack in
numbers.
Prof u. S. Fleming, of the Fair
mont State Normal School, is the
conductor and ne seems thoroughly
acquainted with his work. The In
stitute promises to be very enjoyable.
Evening sessions will be held on
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday even
ings. To these as well as all other
sessions the citizens of Morgantown
and vicinity and all others interested
in the school work are cordially in
yited to come. Monongalia county
furnishes body of teachers second
to none in the State, and they always
make their institutes profitable and
interesting. The programme as pre-
pared by the State Superintendent is
being followed with some variations.
The scientific experiments performed
on Tuesday by various members of
the Institute were something out Of
the ordinary line of Institute work
and were highly entertaining, espe-
cially the "culinary paradox" as
illustrated by Mr.. Walter Hough.

while out hunting near that place on

right eye, nose and forehead very
badly. The injury to the eye it is

A HUMAN CURIosITY.-The South
branch Intelligencer is authority for
the following singular story: At the
residence of Mr.. John E. Miller, Ia
miles west from Slanesville, Hamp-
shire county, w. Va, may be seen a
child prodigy, which indeed is curl
osity. It was born in Pennsylvania,
Feb,y. LIST, 1865, and is therefor
eighteen years of age. 1t weighs
twenty-five pounds, and is twenty
five inches in height. This wonderful
pigmy is of female sex, and is perfect
ly helpless. although itcan cry Justify,
and partakes of no food save milk,
which is given TO it through d hottie.
1t is very quick at noticing objects,
and knows what is told to it, but can
not utter word. 1t is related that
if any of the family lay an article
down in the room where this child is,
and forget where it has been put, all
they have to do in order to find it, is
to inquire of this helpless wonder, and
it will at once point to it. One Of
the most striking features ofthis won
derful creature, aside from its dimin-
utive size, is its quick perception and
remarkable memory. The family are
especially kind and careful of the
little one.

STREET Row.-The fight between
Geo. Jackson (colored) and Alfrey
Carraco that occurred in the street
near the Wallace House few eve
nings ago raised considerable excite
ment. The difficulty grew out of a
previous quarrel in which numerous
compliments and threats had been
passed. The evidence at the hearing
showed that on this occasion George
had attacked "Orph" with club
and then used his fists with damag-
ing effect on the contenance of the
white man. When George saw a
friend of his opponent coming at full
gallop, he took to his heels and was
pursued by Carraco, who fired two
or three pistol shots at him as he
ran. The crowd brought up at
Pickenpaugh's livery stable where
George was arrested by Officer Hop
kins. After hearing Jackson was
fined $40 and costs for assault, and
Carraco 50 for carrying concealed
weapons.

A Fight With a Shark,

A correspondent writing from
Point des Monts and the River Cod
bout, under date of March 10th, and
whose letter only reached here yes
terday, says that at Point des Monts
hunting has been attended this year
with excellent results, nine hunters
having killed 290 seals, valued at
four dollars each.
On the 25th of February a hunter
named David Picard narrowly es-
capped losing his life. He had just
killed seal and was endeavoring to
draw him into his canoe, when a
monster Of the deep with a terrific
splurge, jumped at the other end of
the seal. Three bullets put an end
TO his existence.
The dead enemy was towed ashore
and found to be Greenland shark,
fourteen feet long and weighing 500
pounds. His stomach was opened
and found to contain the entire car
cass Of a seal, several large pieces Of
fur and number of partially digest
ed fish. Quebec Dispatch.

The Few Writers In The South
Who have won Exceptional
Successes

From the N. o. Times Democrat.
There have been exceptional sue
cesses In the South, but only excep-
tional; and when these have occur
red it is remarkable fact that it
has generally been accomplished by
Northern, not Southern, appreciation.
Kennedy, Of Maryland, and Simms,
OF South Carolina, in the last gen
Grafton, obtained a fair measure Of
fame, If not of fortune, as novelists.
In our own times Mrs. Augusta
Evans Wilson has achieved both
fame and fortune-chiefy (leaviDg
out the question of merit) through
the fond appreciation Of an influen
tial and clannish religious denomi-
nation. Mr.. Cable has won rapid
and brilliant success by striking (as
Walter Scott did new and rich
vein of literary treasure, hitherto
unexplored and unwrought. Miss
Fisher ("Chrlstian Reed by hard
work and the prestige of a rich and
powerful publisher, is beginning to
obtain that recognition which her
genius SO richly merits. But these
and a few others are, IS we have
said, only exceptional cases. Look
at the other side. Mrs. Caroline
Gilman (thc Southern Matron"a J
although one of the most picturesque
and poetical writer's, and one of the
most exquisite of humorists, and al
though Northern woman by nativ-
ity, is already almost forgotten. The
very name of Mrs. Bellamy's "Four
Oaks" one of the most charming
books ever written in any language
or any cline, is hardly known to the
great majority of her own country
men and countrywomen. If we may
properly include graver treatises
among these cases Of works Of the
Imagination, the contrast between
the reception given to Sage's "Re-
public Of Republics one of the
most wonderful books of the age,
and that accorded to the shallow
disquisltions of such political
sciolist as Won Hoist, is striking
proof of the lack of correlation be
tween merit and reputation. As for
our Southern poets-where are they?
Paul Hayne, BY resolute persever-
ance, has obtained moderate posi-
tion upon the declvity of the noun
tain of fame, and clings to it by hard
holding on, but he is almost a soil
tary example. Randall wrote one
poem, which immortalized but hard
ly enriched him, and has since been
at work in journalism, which gener
ally neither immortalizes nor enrich
es anybody. O'Hara wrote one
poem which will live forever, "On
fame's eternal camping ground" and
wasted the rest of his life in war and
politics. Harry Flash shone like a
meteor in few brilliant lyrics, and
has since gwen his heart and his
hopes TO wholesale groceries.

DIphtIleria.

The latest and most successful
treatment for this dreadful disease
has lately come to our knowledge,
and having interviewed the man who
says his life was saved by the new
treatment we feel confident it. is ou.
duty to give the facts to our readers,
that they may investigate for them
selves. The circumstances are us
follows: Amede Charter, OF West
Farnham, 2. @. recently had diphthe
ria; he became so bad off after q re.
lapse that all hopes of his recovery
was abandoned by his physicians
and friends, and as last resort a
brother OF the patient said that he
had a bottle of KendalPs SPAWN
Cure and wished to try it. He ap
piled 1T To the neck, and then re-
duced little, and the patient after
some difficulty succeeded in garg-
ling it in the throat. He soop no.
ticed some improvement, and by
continuing it's use a complete cure
was effected, and now he saws be
knows 1t saved his life. The above
remarkable experience led US to in
vestigate farther, and we found that
Kendall's SPAWN Cure has the most
remarkable effect on human flesh of
any remedy of which we have ever
heard, and we have become soundly
converted to the opinion that no
remedy has ever been discovered
which possesses such remarkable
qualities for the diseases of man as
well as beast. Every one should cut
this out and paste into a scrap book.
