WEST VIRGINIA HISTORICAL
SOCIETY.

4 most important and interest
ing meeting of this Society took
place at Wheeling on the 18th
and 18th of this month. The
Court Of Appeals room was assign
ed by the Governor for it's bust
ness meetings, and the hall of the
House of Delegates surrendered
by that body for lectures and adj
dresses. Much important bust
ness was transacted and many adj
ditions made to the membership
of the Society. Some papers of
interest were read at the business
meetings, and some contributions
given to the depository. Hon.
Chas. j. Faulkner, President of
the Society, Hon. A. r. Boteler
and Charles Davies made address
ses at night in the hall of the
House of Delegates. Some pi-
quaint discussions occurred in the
hall after the addresses were made,
in which Judge James FL. Brown,
of Charleston, Judge Fleming, of
Too1yeo,1 NJ NJ EoY,1lnar Nv
Powell, Of Taylor county, and 9th
ers participated.
We are pleased to see this new
impulse given to this Society. 1t
is one worthy of State encourage
ment and State patronage. The
Wheeling papers have bestowed
| more than ordinary notice upon
it's proceedings.

AN IMPORTANT BILL.

The delegate from this county,
George f. Evans, has before the
Legislature a bill to increase the
number of County Commissioners
from three, the present number, to
seven. Does this bill grow out of
any petition of the people to in
crease the number of Commission
ers =? Is it in accordance with the
Constitution which fixes the num-
Der at three? These are matters
well worthy of the attention of the
people, for it is understood, that
the Judiciary Committee has re-
ported the bill with recommen
dalton that it be passed. We ask
these questions merely that the
merits of the bill should have full
discussion among our people.

HON. II. G, DAVIS.

In the retirement of Hon. FL. G.
Davis the State will loose repre-
sentative whose indefatigable zeal
and long headed business capacity
placed him in the front rank. He
has done more for West Va. and
West Virginia interests than any
other man who occupied the posi-
ton of Senator from this State.
His best energies will still be de-
voted to the development of the
hidden resources of the State, but
we cannot help thinking that he
would have been much aided in
the work of bringing capital into
the State by continuing in the
position which he so ably filed
for twelve years and has now vol
unfairly given up.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

Senator Hayes, Greenbacker,
went into the Democratic caucus
of the West Virginia Legislature.
Through the efforts Of Senators
Camden and Davis an appropri-
atoms has been made for geolog-
zeal survey of West Virginia, and
the work will be commenced in
the spring.
Another promising" young
man has killed himself because of
unrequitted affection. More prob
ably the young woman in the case

promises were not kept.
The Milwaukee fire seems to
have been the work of an incendi-
airy. The English language does
not furnish an adjective of suffi-
cient strength to fittingly allude
to the man or woman guilty of
such an act.
State Treasurer Polk of Tennes-
see is defaulter to the amount of
at least four hundred thousand
dollars. The State repudiated a
great portion of it's debt, that he
was right in following the example
of the commonwealth. If a state
swindles it's creditors why should
not treasurer swindle the State :
Lewiston, Maine, comes to the
front with o woman who eats

them. This is the sort of an APP
petite that ought to be cultivated.
Half a dozen women of that kind,
located in each city of this land,
and furnished with all the South
worth, dime, and yellow-covered
novels their appetite yearns for,
would be a power for good.

FRANK BURR'S LAST "P0SSUM
HUNT"

The Wheeling LtclIigencer
copies from the Cincinnati En-
quirer an amusing story by Frank
A. Rurr, of which he styles Jim
Johnson's Last Possum Hunt.
In this story he makes the Hon.
Charles j. Faulkner figure very
largely as "the eminent attorney"
who was employed to secure the
return of jim Johnson, fugitive
slave who had made his escape to
Penn sylvania. We called Mr.
Faulkner's attention to the arti +
Gle, and asked him how much of
truth there was in it ? His reply
was:
at is all a pure fiction. | never
heard of any such transaction. I
never heard of the escape of any

THE LEGISLATURE.

Both Houses of the Legislature
have gotten fairly to work, and
the indications are that no time
will be wasted. It seems to be
the disposition of the members to
do the necessary work before them
and adjourn and go home. This
is the indication at the begin
ming, but the good resolutions of
the members, Ike Bob Acres cour-
age, may ooze out at their fingers
ends before they get well along,
and against their better judgment
and the advice of their friends,
may resolve to spend longer time
in Wheeling than they now antic-
ipate.

A GOOD START.

The admirable disposition shown
by our legislators to do quickly
what their hands and minds find
to do meets with proper common
dalton from quarters where COM
mendation may well be appre-
ciated. Having rightly begun
the work they must steadfastly
keep at it.

Worth Reading.
Independent

EuS. IHUep6hUeUt
Last Monday evening we conclud-
ed to hear the Eichburg Quartet i,
and with quite number of others,
wended cur way to Feller's Hall,
fully prepared to spend pleasan mt
evening. Our eXpectations,so far as
the music was concerned were fully
realized but we certainly did not
anticipate that the audience was TO
SIT out performance lasting nearly
two hours, in hall having tenn
perature very like refrigerator.
Every one we conversed with COM
planned of the cold room and but for
the excellence Of the performance,
many would have left and sought
more comfortable quarters. We do
not think it exaggeration to say that
every one present suffered with the
cold-and not only on the occasion
in question, but at former entertain.
ments held in the winter season. We
have heard the assertion by numbers
that they never knew the place to be
we'll warmed in winter time. This
is not as it should be. The public
have a right to expect a place that is
hired out for entertainments of this
or any other character, to be render
ed comfortable and it is all nonsense
to expect to make it so with few
ga. Jets placed in the ceiling. We
might stand it provided we were in
ured to the hardships of the Indian
| in front of the tobacconist's shop,
but as rational, sensitive creatures,
we enter our plea for better heating.
Let the place be as warm as all 9TH
ers we ever visited, where comforts
and wraps can be removed. When
such is the case the expressed fears
of the people to visit there, lest they
take colds will no more be heard.
Another source of annoyance
which keeps, we are certain, quite a
number of orderly people from at
tending entertainments,is the shock
| ing behavior of incorrigible boys
who are allowed to hold high carni-
val in the rear Of the hall during the
performances, to the gross annoy
ance and discontinue of those who
go to see and hear. They are I'M
accompanied, generally speaking, by
their parents and as no effort is
made to compel order, their actions
are unrestrained and hence cat calls,
whistling and other reprehensible
noises are common. We would sug-
gest proper police force as the
remedy, and if few of the ill-man-
nered were promptly elected, the re-
mainder would respect the wishes OF
the majority by maintaining order.
In conclusion we reiterate-let the
hall be suitably warmed, the incor-
rigible small boy give his proper
share Of attention, and let every one
when he buys resel we'd seat, have
the seat he pays for. When the fore
going admonitions are carried out
then will the proprietor be the recip-
F, lent of untold thanks from
MANY CITIZENS.
