bury academy and a younger sister of
Miss Arnold, the principal of the
high school, was severely injured at
Cohasset, Mass, last Saturday. She
was riding with friends in a two
horse carriage, when one of the
horses stumbled and fell. In recov-
ering himself one rein was broken
and the horses ran. Miss Arnold
jumped from the carriage and had
one leg badly broken and was other
wise severely injured. Afterwards
the carriage was overturned and
wrecked but none of the other occu-
pants were seriously injured. Later

A McKY FIND. On a farm at
Island Shoals, Ga, Samuel Ne
Daniel, a young farmer, was in the
field ploughing. His plough caught
in some obstruction. Urging on
the mule, he dragged forth five-
gallon jug. The Jug had a cork
stopper: sealed, and a piece Of tin
doubled over it, with a wire fasten-
ed round it, making it perfectly
secure. Mcdaniel was anxious to
know what was in it, 50 he took his
heel-screw off his plough and twist
ed off the wire. This enabled him
to take out the cork. He then plac-
ed the jug on stump, and apply
ing his lips tasted the best brandy
he had ever tasted. SO captivated
was he that he drank several times.
and at last the liquor overcoming
him he slipped down asleep at the
foot of the stump. Failing to come
in to dinner the mother went out to
the field after lin, when he was a.
bout waking up. Together they
gave the jug another examination,
when Mrs. McDaniel's attention
was attracted to it's great weight.
An investigation showad the pres
ence of 900 five dollar gold picc-
cs, making total Of 50, 800. The
mystery was cleared up in sim
gular manner. McDaniaIs grand
father was captain in the Florida
war. 1t was known that he WAS
wealthy before he left. On news Of
his death in one Of the battles with
the Indians his heirs could find no
trace of his money. The fact that
y ears after his grandson and heir
should have found his fortune is a
singular incident.

The Ola Round Tower.

Those who visit Newport, Rhode
Island, are shown the old round tow
er, which is one of the chief attrae.
tons Of this place. This was proba-
bly, built by the Norsemen early in
the thirteenth century, and was used
by them as tower in which to flee
for safety when attacked by the ma
tives. 1t was their tower of safety,
and il it could talk, what volumes OF
history could it relate Just as it
was tower of safety to the early
discoveries of America, so is Peruna
to the citizens Of our country to-day.
As it is prepared exclusively from
vegetable compounds, and contains
no poisonous minerals, it is peculiar
ly adapted to all who need a tonic
for their worn out systems. Ask
your druggist for Peruna, and for

A Qaeen's Opiniou.

What a peculiar feeling is exper-
fenced by Americans the first time
they gaze upon royalty. Here, in
this free country, where every citi
zen is king and every mother a
queen, n peep at royalty or titled
princes and potentates does not come
very often. Morbid curiosity often
leads our citizens to act in manner
unbecoming to their high estate. Pc
runa is fast making its way through
out the land and is becoming known.
Everywhere that it is used by the
sick and afflicted, it makes wonderful
cures, and is given all the praise for
its good work.
j. M. Queen writes from Johnstown,
w. Va, that he has been sorely af-
hicted for several years, but he was
urged to try Peruna, which he did,
and he now feels that he is about
over his trouble, and considers it the
greatest medicine in the world. He
says he has TO go or send distance
Of fifteen miles to obtain Peruna,
but it will repay him for this. Ask
for it at the nearest drug store.

We hope in our next issue to be
able to announce to our readers that
Grover Cleveland has been elected
President of the United States. While
of course we do not claim to predict
with absolute certainty the result,
yet az far as human foresight can
tell, it seems an assured fact. 1t
looks as IL the Blaine managers had
given up New York and were concen-
trating their energies upon Indiana
and other doubtful States Of smaller
size. IfCleveland carries New York,
he will have within IL of enough
electoral votes to make him the next
President Of the United States. From
Indiana, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Michigan, California and Nevada, he
can surely get the desired IL, and
hence we say the prospects for a
Democratic victory in November are
bright. The Democracy of the ma
ton are delighted; they see victory
within their grasp, and until the eve
Of the election they will not abate in
the least the grand struggle for .
pure economic administration Of pul,-
lie affairs.

Mr.. H. n. Ogden, an aIumnus Of
the University was in town last week.
We are glad to say that Prof. Allen
is able to be out again.
Student Berkeley has been quite
unwell for several days, but we are
glad to hear that he is better now.
Prof. Purinton had his class in
junior Mathematics out doing some
practical work last Saturday. They
were measuring the altitude Of the

After dress parade at the Univers-
ity, last Thursday evening, NJ ajor Lee
marched the corps down town.
The new feature Of the law school,
the moot court, is increasing in inter
est. One case has been matured and
several others are coming on. The
students are working up their cases

Your correspondent looked in on
the Literary Societies last Friday
night and was pleased to see the in
terest manifested. The Parthenon
was first visited. In the chair was
Geo. f. Boyd presiding with dignity /;
on his left sat Mr.. Lively recording
the proceedings of the meeting, and
on his right Mr.. Shepherd performing
the functions OF Vice President. The
performances were creditable indeed.
Two good declarations and several
interesting essays. The question for
debate was Woman Suffrage. The
cause of the fair sex found advocates
in Messrs Lively and Sturgiss and
Messrs. Rector and Strobe contended
that woman has no right to sing bass
or vote. But l can not stay till the
debate is over l must visit the other
Society. Here l find Mr.. Bush in
the chair; Mr.. Romine making a re-
cord of the proceedings and Mr..
White filling the Vice Presidents
chair. The Soiety was engaged in
debate, the question: Compulsory
School Law. To affirm, Messrs Eli
OFT and Alexander; to deny Adams
and -. The discussion was quite
interesting and engaged in with great
earnestness. 1t resulted in decis-
ion for the affirmative. Both Soci-
cites seem to be in good working
order, though the Parthenon did not
have very large attendance. Ger
tainly the student can not over-esti-
mate the benefit that he receives
from bis work in the society.

Next Tuesday is the day when
this great nation will decide who
shall be it's President for the next
four years.
The man who does not go to the
polls on that day depreciates, by his
conduct, the most exalted privilege
of American Citizenship; he mani
tests mean estimate of his duties
and relations, as a man, to the gen
eral veal, he lacks the first element of
a patriotic spirit; he shows either ig-
nofance or indifference to those com
mon interests upon which rests the
perpetuity of republican government.
1t must be very mean and very
selfish man that stays away from the
polls on the day of Presidential
election. He must be very selfish if
he allows any mere personal business
engagements to stand in the way of
a discharge of this important duty
to his country; and he must be very
mean if his mere personal conven
fence or inclinations are allowed to
interfere with this duty to the public.
This growing spirit Of Indifference
to political obligations is the source
ofmost of the ills which afflict the
country from inefficient, dishonest
and unworthy officials, from bad and
bungling legislation, and from the
many vices that are creeping into the
methods of every department of the
government.
Let every voter go to the polls on
next Tuesday and cast his ballot.
1t is fair test of good citizenship.
Some of our Democratic friends
who vote in this county are disposed
to think there is no very strong obi
cation upon them for voting because
they believe it will not change the
result in the county. This is false
reasoning. If they do not care
enough about their party principles
to 60 to the polls and protest against
the position of the majority party
they will always be in the minority.
The very fact of the absence of any
Democratic vote, is to the extent Of
one vote at least, sanction of the
position of the majority party.
We ought to have full Demo
cratic vote in this county next Tues
day, if for no other reason, that it
may swell the aggregate vote Of the
State.
We must have full vote if the
Democrats of Monongalia want to
receive any consideration hereafter,
in the politics of the State.

the Democracy of Old Monongalia
Do not be discouraged; work with
renewed energy; meet the enemy on
the 4th of November next with the
determination to change the Repub-
lican majority. Each of you have
work before you which you should
do. Remember all eyes are turned
toward West Virginia. In the late
State election she has shown the
world that money cannot bride her,
nor political intrigues defeat the will
of her people; thus gaining for her
self reputation, as lover of pure,
and honest government. We have
failed to carry this idea into our
county affairs from want Of proper
organization and harmony in the
party ranks. l hope that each men,
Der of the party will use his every
exertion to elect an honest man as
President of the United States; if
this is your desire we can not recon
mend man more fitted for the posi-
ton than Grover Cleveland He has
a pure official record. The scriptures
tell us that "when the wicked rule the
people mourn" To-day there is
mourning from one ocean to the other.
The Republican party have sacked

will be taken from you and be restored

government according to the consti-
tuition Of the fathers"
