matters are somewhat revived lately, and
the two roads are going 10 work in earnest.
Mr.. Nesbitt the sgent OF the Baltimore and
Ohio, has received q communication from
tie Baltimore Office instructing him 10 So
licit bids for hauling one thousand barrels
of cement to Morgantown, and other ma
terial for the construction OF the depot.
Although nothing else OF importance has
developed since the last letter from this
place there is now no doubt in the mind
OF every one but what both roads will be
built, and that in the near future.
1t seems as though fever had struck
this place with more force than a Western
yclone in the way OF political ups and
dowus and entertainments. Thursday
evening the colored school gave an enter.
tainment al the Normal Hall 10 a large
audience. The programme was an eXten.
siye On and the performers did admirably.
Prof. L. Kidd, while on his way from
Morgantown last Friday. was induced 10
visit the Normal Hall and give some Illus
trations of reading and declaiming, and
after great difficulty was persuaded 10 re-
main in Fairmont two weeks and give
twelve practical lessons in elocuuOnary
exercises. His class. am informed, mum.
otrs eighty pupils. Some Of the yonng
ladies' snd gentleman OF the town have also
taken advantage Of this opportunity.
Prof Kidd will also give public enter
tsirn ent next Friday evening at the
Normal Hall.
When. IN the course OF human events, il
becomes necessary, as was the case ot
some of our young gentlemen, to with
draw from the Normal Literary Society -
who COnCln lnded 10 tread their own way
over the sinking sands Of fidelity they ac-
3Ordingly organized the HISa School Lit
