THE Hinton Herald, well edited by Mr..
&. l.. Thompson, a Regent Of the State
University, quotes from letter written
BY the editor OF the INTRLLraENcRR-"ot
eleven professors and instructors in the
University o. West Virginia two are Re-
publicans," and the Herald adds: "The
ISrELLIGxxcRR deliberately states what It's
editor had an opportunity to know is not
true. Mr.. Hart was in Morgantown only .
few days before the quoted lines were pub
lshed, and it is fair to presume he made
inquiry in regard to the matter referred to.
II he did 80, he learned that OF the eleven
professors and instructors str generally

facts in the case, and It is due to the public
that they should be known. tits surprising
that the ISrELLIoEScRR should try to mis-
lead the people in this way, and create a
feeling against the Universile."
Certainly the inquiry was made, and the
dele was to know the truth, and what
vas pGblished was on information re-
eeirel at that time and on the spot. The
editor Of the INrRLLIGRNcRR could not poll
the professors and instructors, some OF
whom he does not even know by sight,
aud he had no reason to question the state
meat as it was made to him. Since the
publication Of the Herald article further
inquiries have been made, with this
result During the school year
just closed there were thirteen pro-
lessons and instructors, beginning
with the President, who held the chair OF
metaphysics, and ending with the meteoro-
logical observer and instructor in signaling
and telegraphy, Sergeant Of the Signal
Corps Of the United States Army. We do
notknow the Sergeants politics. Leaving
him out Of the count twelve remain. Our
later information is that there are four Re-
publieans, three professors and one In

ms AppoINrNENr,

/ In three interviews above alluded to,
the following points in regard to Cooks
appointment and the part 1t was intended
he should play, were distinctly made,
either by the President or the Attorney
General. The latter said he was fully in
formed in regard to Cooks character, and
his reputation at the Washington bar, and
said that Mr.. Cook was employed by the
Government with this full knowledge, and
in accordance with an old adsge, which it
is not now necessary to repeat. The state
ment was made without qualification, that
in no event would Cook be given any
prominence in the trials; that the Attor-
ney General himself would Conduct the
case, and that Cooks appointment bad very
much the significance, and very little
other significance than the appointment
OF a detective incohnection with The case.
II was further explained that there was a
certain character OF work IN connection
with such trial that he was fitted toJ; pre-
sumably watching the other side, and
seeing that no undue and improper advan-
tages were taken along lines which Cook
had reputation Of being able to watch
closely and atIectively., One strong argu'
ment tor his employment has been that his
previous connection with the notorious
criminal cases had been such TO suggest
that it would be matter u prudence to
deprive the defense OF his sservicgs. Another
reason given was the belief that his Arm
had sncn relations with a we'll known
crowd OF active, II not Influential detec.
tiyes, who might possibly be kept out OF
the service Of the defendants by employing
Cook. s" fH''F.

pRRRIcKs GOING up.

The hills and valleys all over the Still.
well district are now being prospected
with considerable success. About twelve
paying wells have already been struck,
ranging from 10 TO 800 barrels Of oil Of an
excellent quality, differing vastly, and
being more valuable than oil struck in the
Cherry Grove district in Pennsylvania.
Derricks begin to dot the hills, and matters
are assuming business-like shape. The
excitement runs high at this writing, as
seven wells are expected in" the latter
part OF this week. The indications OF an
experimento Of deeper wells than those pre-
viously mentioned show that there Is an
undercurrent at q greater depth, and when
this is fully tested 1t is thought there will
be revolution III the shape OF boom OF
business that will shake the former fossil
lized community from its foundation,
The existence OF gas and the depth oil
the oil rock are both promising signs, and
such Is the faith OF those interested that
several deep wells have been started by the
drill. The present territory, where the ex-
citement is running SO high, embraces
about four square miles, the balance lying
idle on account OF everybody wanting
"hole" on land where the highest quality
OF oil exists. The principal owners Of this
territory are J. +. II. Jones, Of Philadel-
phia; Morgan Bros, Of Virginia, Va, and
Charles King and Haines Bros, OF Writ

TANxING THE OIL.

The West Virginia Transportation Con-
pany are now putting up tanks to store the
oil, and will also lay pine linesIto the new
field. This company is doing all in it's
power to build up regular old-time oil
boom, and has about accomplished its OBJ.
jeCt. Paikesburg has already been named

ditures so far in the new field have been
about $3.50, 900, and thrice Its return Is al
ready In sight.
In addition to the oil struck in the Still
water di.trict immense quantities Of coal
have been discovered through the agency
OF the drill, mud big operations in mining as
we'll as in oil will be begun this summer.
The influx OF oil and coal men Is something

pointing him, the President concluded to
order the appointment to be revoked. That
afternoon be left for Fortress Monroe, and

The Secret of Raising Turkeys.

One of our most successful breeders
remarks upon this point: One great ser
cret Of raising turkeys is to fake care,
and take care ali summer; and even
then you cannot always raise them, for
sometimes they viii not lay or they will
not hatch, or something viii befJl them.
Sometimes we raise turkeys withontmuch
care, when the season is specially favor
able. but generally the measure Of care
is the measure of success. A boy ten or
twelve years old, with little direction
from his father, can easily take care oil
200 young turkeys, and lie cannot earn
so much money on the farm IN any
other way. It is an old maxim that II a
thing is worth doingit is worth doing well.
Some may think this constant care IS too
much trouble to raise turkeys. This IS
free country, and you can omit any
part COR the whole) of these sugges.
lions. lfyou know better course. 10y
all means pursue it. This painstaking
has made turkey raising about as sure as
any other branch of farm Industry.
have usually kept from eight to eleven
hen turkeys for breeders, and have
raised from ninety-one to l37 in sum

twenty-seven cents a pound, and they
amounted to $3.50 40. In 1869 | sold for
twenty-five and twenty-seven cents a

That year kept an account OF expenses
and calculated the net profit at $2l3.5S.
In 1870 sold for twenty-five cents a

Early Vegetables.

DR.. f. NJ. Hexamer gives in the Amer
lean Garden this helpful hint toward
securing early vegetables: Tomatoes,
peppers, egg plants, cabbage, cauliflow-
er, melons, corn and almost every kind
of vegetables, may be started in pots,
and transplanted with the entire root
ball essoon as the danger of frost is over.
By this method gain of several weeks
is often secured, and alta trifling expense.
The pots may also be used for pot lay
erlng strawberry plants, and when once
purchased will last lifetime, Boxes
may be used for the same purpose. The
plants in those shonld not be placed
closer than three inches apart each way /;
and, to prevent the roots from interlac-
ing with each other, sharp knife is
drawn between them through the soil,
about every two weeks. Each plant may
then be ia ken up with solid block Of
soil attach ed. -

GlalaIers has become epidemic among

At the late meeting of the New Jersey

Brighton was said to produce many
lunches nearly pound in weight.
Early Victor was said to be no earlier
than Moore's Early, though the quality
is pure and good.
A writer in the New York Tribune
says that it is often question whether
recourse to seeding ground with spec
ial view to green manuring win prove
profitable in given soil. Even clover,
plowed down deeply in clay soil, while
IN tenderest, freest growth, has been
known to ssour' the soil so fatally as TO
render it infertile for many years so far
rs the green stuff was turned down.
We do not see the force of this, as an
application of lime would quickly sweet
en- such a soil.
White willow cuttings may be set ont
1T any time now, and even when in full
leaf, by cutting the shoots off. Limbs
several inches thick will root, become
trees, and fence-posis cut now and set
will root and grow. 1t is best fora hedge
to set short cuttings not more than
inch thick and not over foot from the
ground, so that the cuttings will branch
low and form close fence.
Chambers are terribly affecting horses

Carroll county. Wellington Conway and
his SON have died Of this dangerous and

flesh TO a tually drop off the face in pu-

years, was the first to succumb. A very
large number of people attended the
funeral. no one knowing the true nature
of the fatal complaint of which he died.
Several persons attended him in his
sickness, and as the symptoms of the
disease are not always visible for some
weeks after infection those people are
being closely watched.
