WE received, on Monday last, a
new roller for our newspaper press
from Pittsburgh, made there by Foulk
Brothers d Co, whittier we had sent
our stock on Saturday to have it
covered with their best make of com
position. The roller is fine one. 1t
has been perfectly made in a fine
smoth mould and has splendid face
on it. The composition is the "Key-
stone" brand, manufactured by that
firm in which they use neither mo-
lasscs, honey nor similar inferior in
gradients. Their factory is supplied
with all sizes of valuable mou,ls, and
it is not necessary TO send moulds
with the stocks to have rollers cast.
This is short work and quicker than
we supposed rollers could be made
and returned to us.

WEST VIRGINIA WOMEN IN COLLEGE

WEST VIRGINIA WOMEN IN COLLEGE
"A POINTER ON Co-EDUcATIoN.-
Prof. A. L. Wade in letter to the
InteHiqencer Of Monday pays the
following compliment to two young
ladies of West Virginia, one of them
from our own county:
l am here, as delegate, attending
the General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, but l am
also learning what / can Of the
schools land colleges Of the city.
l find in these schools two West Vir
ginia women, each, am proud to
say, taking high rank in her depart
ment of work. Miss Ella Dillon, of
Wheeling, is in the Senior class in
the National School Of Elocution and
Oratory, and will graduate June 18th.
In company with my colleague, Sen
ator Scott, of Parkersburg, / visited
this school and was pleased to learn
that Miss Dillon stands in the very
front rank in her class. The princi-
pal informed that she has no super
ior in his school.
Miss Matte E. Tough, of Monon-
gala county, West Virginia, is just
completing her second year in the
Woman's Medical College here. Miss
Tough, like Miss Dillon, takes
high rank in the institution. Her
instructors speak Of herin high terms.
A reception is to be given there by
her Sunday School teacher and his
class, on the eve of her departure, to
which your correspondent is invited,
shows how she is esteemed in the
Sunday School. Miss Tough is the
daughter of John B. Tough, Esq,
who represented Monongalia county
several terms in the House of Dele
gates. She is graduate Of the Fair
mont Normal School, and is prepar-
ing for the foreign missionary work
OF the NJ. T.. church.

FATAL PIsToL AccfnENr IN MARION
CoUNTY.-Trainor Smith, son of John
w. Smith, residing on Pharaoh's run,
in Pawpaw district, died at the resi-.
dence of his father, last Tuesday
morning. from pistol wound which
is believed to have been inflicted by
the accidental discharge of the FIRE
arm. At the time of the accident,
which was between s and 9 o'clock
in the morning, young Smith was
alone in the house, the other members
of the family being out on the farm.
Mrs. Alice Smith, wife of brother
of the deceased, and who lived in a
part of the same house, found the
the young man lying on the floor in
a large room few minutes after the
shot had been fred, but when discov,
cred life was extinct. The weapon
which evidently caused the tragedy
"a single barrel breech. loading pis-
toll of 80 calibre-was found lying
under chair in an adjoining room
several feet from the body. The pis-
toll belonged to David Hoult, and had
been borrowed by young Smiths
brother; and as the deceased had on
the previous day been trying to learn
how to manipulate it successfully, it
is thought that he had gone to the
place where it was kept and then sat
down on the chair to further examine
it. While thus employed it is prob
able that the weapon was accident
ally discharged, the ball entering the
breast of young Smith about three
inches above the navel and little
to the left of the centre of the bod,
Realizing that he was shot. he evil
IDENTIFY dropped the pistol and started
towards the outside door for assist
ance, but before reaching there fell

Fiction In England.
81. JHm., Gazette.

~. StH'f ebf"s
According to "A Publisher" who
writes to to-day's Daily Necs, there
must have been 430. 900 volumes of fc-
ton printed in England during the
past year. Truly an appalling total
to contemplate; all the more. as. ac-
cording to the Publisher" this gigan-
tic production of printed matter has
been in n great part dead loss to all
concerned. except the printers, book
binders. and advertising agents. On
about two-thirds Of the novels pub
lished the authors have lost heavily,
which will not surprise many people.
for authorship, like other lu1uries. has
to be paid for. In addition. we are in
formed. the publishers, themselves
have also lost good deal. "A Pub
Usher" forgets one unfortunate class
who have also lost on good many Of
these novels; and that ia the unlucky
reviewers. who have dropped many
valuable hours over the perusal of these
works of art. As for the general pub
lie, they have not lost much, because
the "Publisher's" believes that very
large number of novels published are
not read by the general public-which
herein shows unusual, wisdom. The
Publishers" conclusion Is that fiction
Is, like poetry, - drug on the market"
which young writer's had better avoid.
But the profits made by few success
ful novclists are SO great that we fear
his advice will not be taken, especially
as he informs us that At ten novels are
written for every one published-an
awe-inspiring statement, which rouses
thoughts too deep for words, or even
tears.
