A VALUABLE BARN BURNED.-Last
Thursday morning about 10 o'clock
IA valuable barn belonging to Mr.. d.
!. b. Anderson near town was struck
by lightning and Immediately burned
to the ground Mr. Anderson, his
three sons and nine head of horses
were in the barn at the time it was
struck. The men we're not injured
by the shock and the horses were
safely rescued from the flames In
doing which, however, one of the
boys was seriously kicked and knock
cd senselcss on the stable floor, but
he is rapidly recovering. The build
ing was used as general storehouse
and it would be difficult to estimate
the entire loss. Among other things
some corn and about 20 tons of hay
were destroyed. The property was
not insured, the policy having expir-
ed year ago and had not been re-
newed. The estimated loss is some
where between $4,000 and $4,000.
We are very sorry for Mr.. Anderson
that this severe financial loss has
struck him.

A Town Library.

Thanks to the enterprising New
DOMINION for a suggestion to our peo-
pie on this important public interest
A well selected, instructive library,
of pure and good reading matter, will
be in any community fountain of
good influences. Its beginning may
be small, bnt only let it have prompt
and earnest beginning and the living
germ will soon grow and bear fruit
and multiply beyond our expecta-
tions. 1t is true that in our day
there is vast amount of reading in
numberless periodicals, dailies, week
lies. monthlies and quarteries. but
they cannot take the place of a good
circulating library; nor can they ever
give so good habits of thought
full reading and thus promote in the
same manner close attention and re-
tentive meditation, as the regular
and careful perusal of well written
volumes. If in addition 60 wisdom
in selection, there shall be also care
in working the library, directing the
reading of the Young by parents and
teachers, with patient watchfuness
and discreet suggestions, none can
predict the benefit and blessing in
forestalling the youth with a pure
taste for good read, and saving them
from the lasting and wretched mis-
chief of indolent habits, or perverted
and cnrruntad tactna FIR fraeh w n nh
act upon the minds as the taste for
tobacco or strong drink upon both
body and mind to weaken, degrade
and destroy. In due season perhaps
some wealthy citizen may provide a
town hall, library building and funds
for books, as so many have done in
our cities and villages, rearing ia
themsclf monument Of beauty and
utility, which shall not he forgotten,

The rrcci't comparative fsilure~ TO
get ~, political meetings in his place
are the result Of one of two things and
perhaps both. Either the party
which seeks 10 call the people togetli
err has lost its grip on them and they
no longer come ut its heck or else
they have concluded that the study of
politics is not the he all and the end
all Of life. We suspect the truth al
the matter is that they are willing 10
do their own thinking and care not at
all for the prance and parable Of men
who make politics a profession. 1t
is good sign. Men are beginning
to think, and women too. And the
more they think the more time will
they give to the study of useful sub
jects and less to the long winded out
pourings of political place seekers.

Reunion OF THE CAMPING PARRY
One of the most pleasant and best
arranged social parties of the sea
son took place last Thursday even
ing at Mr.. Ed. Shisler's. 1t was
reunion of the camping party, few
other friends being also invited An
elegant tent, twenty feet long and
fourteen feet wide had been pitched
on the lawn. Within it was brilliant
ly lighted up and decorated with
hanging baskets and flowers in pro
fusion. 1t looked more like the
bower Of Fairy Queen than like
the dwelling place of men, Nothing
was lacking. Mirth and merriment
filed the hours. Even the inner man
was not forgotten and the weakness
to which we are born heirs was bonn
tifully provided for. Surely life is
worth living. Every body voted Mr..
and Mrs. Shisler worthy of living in
such floral tent all their lives. The
following named ladies and gentle
men were present: Mrs, Lieut.
Moore, Misses Ole Lawhead, Gertie
Hayes Jessie Coombs; Myrtle Dorsey,
Sallie Blackstone. Louise Blackstone,
Allie Boycrs, Susie Moore. Mary Ha-
gans. Lizzie Moreland and Laura

MEMORIAL SERVICES OF THE LATE
VIM G. BRowN.-The Conrt room
was crowded on Monday evening with
an audience that assembled to hear
the memorial address of the Hon.
Waitman IT, Wiley upon the life and
services Of the Hon. VIM. g.. Brown,
decd.
James II. Carroll, Esq. President
of the Bar Association of KingwOod.
called the meeting to order, and pre-
sided.
A choir consisting of singers from
the Presbyterian and NJ +. church
choirs, under the direction Of Prof.
Porter, of Baltimore, furnished the
music. After the call TO order, the
choir sang beautiful Valley of
Eden and then prayer was offered
by the Rev. Samuel Graham, of the
Kingwood Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Wiley was then introduced TO
the audience, and for more than an
hour he held their entire attention by
the delivery of a scholarly, eloquent
and very opposite address. He spoke
first of Mr.. Browns public life, Civ
ing in chronological order the several
offices filled by him, and how he
discharged the duties thereby i'm
posed on him. He then spoke of
him as lawyer; and incidentally
discussed to some length the qucs-
ton rs to how far lawyer is justi
fable in defending bad cause. Up
on this question Mr.. Wiley took
high ground. Mr. Wiley closed with
a fitting quotation from Bryant's
sThanatopsis.'
The honorable speaker has lost
but little Of the fire and eloqnence Of
his prime. His address was q very
fine production, whether we consider
it as a literary composition, or the
good taste shown IN treating the sub
ject, or in the manner Of its delivery,
or its high, noble and moral tone. -
