-Hor tea is the best drink in
hot weather, and the best quencher
of thirst at all times and in all sea-
sons. 1t, perhaps, is not so nice as
iced tea, when the mercury is up in
the nineties, but it is far more
wholesome, and is always safe to
take. 1t also freely promotes per-
spiration; but no artificial accesso-
ries will be necessary.-Exchange.

thought they would have good Joke
on very prominent Democrat in

they did so, and after they giqgled

they had no joke on said Democrat
they quietly took their banner down
and tenderly laid it away.
j. w. Woodruff has traded one half
of the Touring mill in town to Valen-

During the few weeks that your
correspondent has been in Morgan
town he has seen several interesting
things and heard more from the
Whittier. Have you observed how
the young ladies of the town divide
themselves up into flocks just like so
many birds? To begin with, there
is bevy of 5 or 6 bewitching girls
some of them living on Main street,
some elsewhere, who may frequently
be seen together on the streets, and
who meet at one another's parlors
and make the evenings fly away. Then
there are three or four others Just as
'witching, who seem to be special
friends and are generally found arm
in arm. There are beves of younger
girls, smaller groups of older girls
and some who "fock' by themselves.
At least half dozen groups can be
found and the Whittier is in a terrible
muddle to know which group is the
best looking.
M
Late Sunday night, II o'clock per-
haps, as your correspondent was car
rying letter to the postoffice he saw
two women, or men dressed in wom-
ems clothes, standing at McGrew's
corner. One Of them had large
bright revolver and did not try to
conceal it, though both the women
turned their faces to the wall As we
approached we heard one of them say
Cd him, if | could see him I'd blow
his brains out" One of the women
was shabbily dressed and wore
sunbonnet. The other was evidently
younger and seemed to be better
dressed and wore some kind Of hat.

The Gossip told me something ter

made discovery, and if her tale is
true it is worse than suicide or
famine. Did you hear about it? She
went to church Sunday night or
two ago and caught two or three
young ladies (she called then girls)
peeping out from under their bangs
and bending their necks to look at
the students as they came in. For
the first 90 minutes they did nothing
but whisper to one another and look
to eastward and to Yves ward, that is
to say, to studentward, and cast
sleeps eyes. Do you believe that

A New MILITARY MAN AT THE UNI
vERsITY.-It will be remembered that
it was announced in these columns
several months since that the Regents
of the University were making an eff
fort to secure a U. S. Army officer to
take charge of the military depart
ment 1t seems that he has been
found at last and may be. expected
here soon. The following announce
ment is in the Baltimore Sun of last
Thursday morning: First Lieut..
James L. Wilson, fourth artillery,
has been detailed as professor of mil
itary science and tactics at the West
Virginia University, Morgantown
w. Va.
He will have to be very efficient
man indeed to follow well in the foot
steps of Maj. Lee who has in the face
of opposition done so much for the
corps and won the esteem and at
tachment of nearly every student in
school.

b. d o. SHOPS. The following is
a special from Connellsville to the
Dispatch: Some days ago the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company
made Il proposition to the citizens of
this place that if $4,000 could be
donated by the people here the com
pany would erect large shops, costing
100000, in the borough. To night
meeting was held in the opera house,
resulting in unanimous decision in
favor of the proposition. A subscrip-
ton paper was headed by one of our
enterprising merchants for 5000.
Our neighboring towns are rejoic
ing in the blessings which seem to
be denied us.

WHIsKEY AND RAZoRs.-A very ser.
ious and brutal cutting ARRAY oc.
Cured last Friday night. George
Jackson, Jr., and Bill Edwards, both
colored, became engaged in quarrel
on the streets during the evening, and
late at night went TO Edwards home,
near the old Fair grounds, still quar-
reling. After reaching the house
they concluded to settle the matter
in the yard, and just as Edwards
stepped out OF the doorway Jackson
gave him slash with razor, Law
ing open his side and stomach for
six or seven inches and to consid-
cradle depth. Though Edwards was
so badly cut he was able to jerk a
paling from the fence and pound and
trounce his assaiant with a good
deal of vim. He was so excited that
when his mother appeared on the
bloody field he gave her q blow or
two, also. Jackson left the country
at once and has not yet been heard
from. Edwards is in very critical
condition but may possibly recover.
They were both intoxicated ut the
time of the ARRAY.

A HORSE Down AND BuGGY BpoxEs

A HORSE Down AND BUGGY BRoKEN.
The Hall brothers living near
Laurel Point, attend the University,
driving down every day in a buggy.
Last Thursday some urchins climbed
into the buggy and began whipping
the horse as lie stood hitched to the
buggy and also to post, The horse
being young and full of life did not
admire that kind Of foolishness and
began lunging and threw himself to
the ground, breaking shaft and
tearing the harness slightly. The
same whip ought to have been used
on the "kids" backs.

RED MEN ON THE WAR PATH-The
cred Men" of West Virginia and
Greene County, Pennsylvania are
again at work, administering what
they pretend to think justice to their
neighbors. They are very brave men.
1t only required fifty of them armed
to the teeth to wake four girls from
their beds, in Greene county a few
nights ago, and apply tar and feath-
ers to them. Brave men! Only twelve
to each girl and two over! We don't
believe it would take more than one
constable to arrest the fifty, and the
sooner it is done the better. Every
son of a gun of them should be ar
rested, indicted, tried and convicted
of aggravated assault, or whatever
their offense may be-. No matter
what the character of the girls may
have been, we have laws in the land,
and are not reduced to the extremity
of depending upon unreliable bands
of masked men to execute Justice
