a Card From Mr.. Tennant.

Mr.. Editoy;-I have been informed
that there is report going that 1
have left the Republican party. Said
report is false, like many others. /
will vote for Blaine and Logan, Ed
win Maxwell and the Republican
State ticket. There is also report
going that If John T. Fleming is
elected Sheriff of this { Monongalia
county that ] am to be the Deputy
for said Fleming. There is no such
understanding between Mr.. Fleming
and myself, nor has it ever been talked
Of by John 7. Fleming and me. Said
report is false from beginning to end.
Respectfully yours,
Sept. 20, 1884. f. TENANT

THAT piece of vandalism the other
night at the marriage festivities was
diseraceful in the extreme. Perhaps
it was all intended as a joke, but
jokes of that kind are not appreciated
in civilized community. Fortu-
nately for the host and the guests
such an abundance of other good
things had been provided that the
ice cream was not much missed.
But that does not at all excuse the
meanness of the deed. 1t was relic
of the 10th century, Il bit of foolish
ness and rowdyism worthy of the
most back woods district in the Allie
ohenies If the miscreants had been
caught they would have prayed that
the rocks and the hills might hide
them from the wrath of the law.

REPUBLICAN CoRRUPTIoN.-The Re-
publican leaders in Barbour county
have been caught in disgraceful
scheme to corrupt the ballot box, and
defeat an honest election. Corrup-
ton won't win. The party that will
resort to such corrupt means to get
into power is thoroughly corrupt
already, and would overthrow all
honest government. Let the people
beware. We are glad to know that
the Democracy of Monongalia, is not
to be corrupted.

George Keener brought US Il sweet

A few days later Mrs. James Don

BEHIND THE CURTAINS.
Echoes Heard and Shadows
Seen.

Did you ever see anything as mean
as q first class meddler? There
ought to be clause in the Constitu-
ton against 'em: A Christian hates
them almost as much as he does sin.
We heard an estimable lady few
days since express her opinion of the
guild. 'sThere are a few people in
town." she said, "who have an opin-
ion about everybody and-everything.
Ifa young lady happens to laugh too
merrily on the street, they have some
thing to say about it. Ifshe dances,
if she stays at social party till 10
o'clock, if she wears her hair $3.50,
if she smiles at friend these med
dlers begin to wag their tongues.
They are regular nuisance and
ought TOTO attend TO their own
business"
The woods are full Of 'em. They
are not hard to catch, either just
keep your ear elevated and you will
hear their sweet music like the melo-
dious song of the ubiquitous mos
quito in the dewy night.
~
A pretty visitor came to town the
other day and stopped at on
street. She stayed but a short
time but it was remarkable how one
or two faces in the place frightened
up. Did you see how happy and
poeticSl they looked? The Whittier
observed it and remarked, "What a
pity that Mr.. c. isn't here too,
guess I'd better go after him.
~
He calleth on this one
He calleth on that,
He calleth here,
He calleth there,
He calleth nearly everywhere.
He invites himself to walk with the girls,
He invites himself to talk with the girls,
And thinks he's as ''solid as wheat with
the girls;
He never fails to meet with the girls,
And even tbs said he's sweet with the girls.
Read your liddle," did you say?
Not to-day, some other day.

HEAR THE MERRY WEDDING Bells
AS announced in last weeks New
DOMINION the marriage of Miss Anna
B. Sturgiss to Mr.. David Chadwick
took place at the home of the bride,
the Hon. Geo. G. Sturgiss', on We'd
nesday evening at s o'clock. The
nuptial rites and ceremonies were
performed in an impressive manner
by the Rev: Mr.. Crawford. Of the NJ.
E. Church. Only the relatives and a
few intimate friends were invited,
but these made up a merry company,
full Of warm and hearty congratula-
tions to the worthy groom and the
bonny bride. Truly,
1.-The lights shone DER fair women and
brave men,
And all went merry as a marriage bell"
The bride was dressed In an ele-
CANT and handsome costume ofcream
colored nuns yelling, and her bear
ing was easy and graceful. The
groom wore a rich suit of plain black.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sturgiss did the honors
of the evening in their own inimita-
BILE style. The presents were many,
elegant and selected with great taste
by the admiring friends who pre-
scented them.
EARLY Thursday morning, before
the town had commenced its daily
hustle, they, who once were two but
now are one, started to Chicago, the
Metropolis OF the West, to spend the
happy weeks of the honeymoon.
The New DOMINION takes off its
hat. bows itself low, and wishes them
well, even as long as the years of
their mortal lives shall last.

ANOTHER TRIBUTE OF RESPECT AND
LovE.-The following very appro-
pirate resolutions concerning the de-
cease of Miss Annie Rogers were
passed by the P. E. Aid Society:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased an ALL
wise God in the inscrutable dispen-
sations of His Providence to remove
from our midst our much loved friend
and sister, Miss Annie P. Rogers,
who entered into her eternal rest
Sept 9 1884 after a short, but pain
full illness, be it therefore
Resolced 1st, That we the ladies
of the P. f. Aid Society of which
she was a faithful and efficient mem
Der, feel it our duty, asOur privilege,
to put on record in few sincere
words our admiration for her worth
and our love of her, for those rare
qualities of heart which she exhib-
tied toward all.
End, That her prudence, discretion
and true christian charity which ex-
cused the faults and put the best
construction upon the motives and
actions Of Others together with her
scrupulous truthfulness, characteris-
tics which pre- eminently marked her
life, are well worthy Of the imitation
Of all who are left to mourn her, in
our church., Society and Sabbath
school, where her loss seems now ir-
reparable.
Sd, That copy of these resolu-
tons be forwarded to the stricken
and bereaved family with whom we
deeply sympathize in their great af-
Fiction.
18th, That copy Of these .resolu-
tions be spread upon our minutes
and also published in "The Church
News"
The STRIKE CONTINUES The mi
ner's strike along the Monongahela
river still holds out. Hundreds of
men are out Of employment and the
matter il getting complicated and
unpleasant. Prices of steel and iron
are low, trade is dull and great
many ovens are out Of blast.

LYING IN WAIT-THREAT UNFuL-
FILLED-A DAsrARpLY ASSAULT
He CRAsy?-The town has been
treated to genuine sensation. The
gossips have something to talk over
the back fences about and are happy.
1t is not the elopement of a rich girl
with her fathers coachman, either.
Nothing of the kind. The story as
it is caught on the wing sayors OF
revolvers, jealousies, loves, threats
and many other delicacies. For the
sakes of the ladies concerned, who
are as highly respected as any in
town and very much admired and
who would not like To have their
names thus dragged INTO prominence,
We will not give the names of the
parties concerned.
The facts as furnished by various
parties whom we have interviewed
are as follows: 1t seems that a
young man in this place had become
infatuated with young lady friend
a relative of his, by the way and
because his advances were not recip-
rocated he had more than once in
suited and threatened her so that she
was almost afraid TO walk out alone
after night. a few evenings since,
just at dusk, she was returning home
from calling on friend a few doors
distant when this young man step
ped out from the side of house
where he had been concealeH and
grabbed her by both wrists. or
course she followed and screamed
for help. This brought to her rescue
gentleman who was passing and
also her father who heard her cries.
He was promptly seized and revol
yer, which was found in his hip
pocket, taken from him. He was
not arrested but had sort of infor-
NAL hearing and promised to leave
the place.
The episode seems to be double
headed one. The same young man,
we are told, has for some time tried
to be very devoted to another young
lady in the place. She also did not
favor bis suit nor smile at his smile,
and he, only few evenings since,
threatened to kill both her and
young man who was calling to see
her. On the evening mentioned he
seized her by the hand and she says
that she distinctly heard the click
of a revolver which he held in his
other hand though not yet taken en-
tirely from his pocket. The prompt
action of the other young man pre-
vented any further demonstration
and sent the would he criminal home
in short order The next evening he
called again, but the young lady's
father appeared on the scene and
sent the young man and his revolver
out of that parlor and on his way
home in racket.
These are the main facts as we
have them. 1t is but fair to add
that it is said the principal actor in
the above scenes denies the whole
business and still remains in town.

The National Convention.
Chicago, Jan, 81. Among leading
Democratic members of Congress the
opinion prevails that the National
Democratic Convention will be held
IN the West. Chicago is working
quietly but diligently to secure it,
AMI thus monopolize the National
Conventions this year. The mem.
bers of the National Committee from

for Chicago. Louisville is also anx-
lous to secure the convention, and
has active friends.
Lease OF the o. II. & n.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3O.-The Press
New York spt cial says: The lease
of the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton Company by the Northern Paci-
railroad has been practically decided
upon, but the terms are still mat
ter OF negotiation. A good many
Northern Pacific stockholders are
opposed to the guarantee of 6 per
cent. on the stock. They prefer
some other plan. The matter will
be reported on by the committee
having it in charge at the meeting
of the directors of the Northern Pa
c!f1c next month.
To Sue for their Money.
New YORK, Jan. 29.-It was COM
mon talk at the Windsor hotel last
evening that civil suit for the re-
covery of $4,000 900, or $4,000, 900
was to begun at once against one or
two very prominent banking houses
who induced capitalists of this city
to invest heavily in Willard stocks,
while the aforesaid parties unloaded
themselves and supplied the demand.
Gross misrepresentation il herein
charged; in fact the concerns that
are to be sued are accused of rank
swindling. Plaintiffs have already
retained able lawyers to commence
proceedings. Particulars in regard
to the suit and the parties, it was
stated to-day, would soon be made
public. This will be the beginning
of one of the most startling fnan-
cial sensations that this county ever
knew.
