some pleasant Remarkable.

B. Hart, editor of the Wheeling In.
tellioenesr, writes from Washington to
his paper as follows concerning our
honored fellow townsman, Col. A. X.
Boteler:
"west Virginia is doing very we'll in
these days. The Pardon Clerk of the
Department of Justice is Col. A. X.
Boteler, of Jefferson county. If you
want a pardon Col. Boteler looks into
the matter for you. l was glad to call
on this accomplished gentleman and
glad to find him enjoying his employ
ment-which is great thing for any
man. In reply to my question, Col.
Boteler told Inc how he happened to be
where he is. He and Attorney-General
Brewster were college mates at Prince
ton. Calling one day to pay his respects
the Attorney General asked what ne
could do for his old friend, remarking
that two such good fellows ought to be
of service to each other if they could.
Colonel Boteler insisted that there was
nothing the Acknowledgement could DO
for him, when an idca struck the head
of the Department of Justice. Are
you very busy, BotelerT NO, not
very Then. go to Dakota and make
me a report on the trouble there On
he went and made report of 2,5OO
pages. Then the Acknowledgement ASK
ed his old friend to do something else,
until he made him Pardon Clerk TO fill
vacancy caused by death. Then At
torney-General Garland came in, and
here was another lucky coincidence.
Col. Boteler and Acknowledgement Gar
land sat together in the First Confeder-
ate Congress. Col. Boteler was defeated
for the next term by Col. Halliday, of
Winchester. Colonel Boteler's friends,
Garland at the head OF them, asked Pres
ident Davis to make him Assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury. Col. Boteler,
hearing of this, went TO see the Confed-
crate President. Il understand, Mr..
President said Col. Boteler, that my
friends have been kind enough to ask
Treasury appointment for me- Yes
said Mr.. Davis, 'and take great pleas
ure in granting the request 'And l.
continued Col. Boteler, have come to
ask leave to withdraw the request and
to be assigned to duty in the field
Col. Boteler was commissioned colonel
of cavalry and assigned to staff duty.
They were making money too fast and
too cheap, aud making too many mis-
takes, and did not desire to be in that
SERVICE says Col. Boteler. Now comes
Garland az Attorney-General, finds his
old friend on duty, doing his work well,
and there he remains. Isn't it worth
while to make friendships as we go
through the world? Col. Boteler says
he is the one solitary Wing in West
Virginia.

large number of crows at one shot,

The Grand Commandery Of West Vir-

embracing many of It's best citizens, Sir
Knights are expected to be present from
Baltimore and Washington, and por-
tons of Virginia, to join in the grand
parade which will take place during
the meeting Of the Grand Comnandery.
Many of those who pretend to know,
predict an abundant fruit crop this year.
The protracted cold weather of the past
winter, they say, has prevented the pre-
mature budding of fruit trees, which is
claimed to be a good indication, and
will result i'm large increase in fruits.
Small fruits will also do well, for the
reason that the long-lying SHOWS have
protected the roots from freezing out,
which occurs in winters when there is
but little snow. We hope the prediction
may prove correct.

A San Antonio Mystery.

SAN ANTONIO, May 25'-Special.l-
Some days ago three men arrived in
this city from Fort Worth and an.
nouncod their desire to buy horses
One was named Miller, another Garrett
Hanson, sand the name of the third
could not be learned. 1t appears that
Miller and Hanson accidentally met
ON the train between New Orleans aud
agreed to join In buying horses. Al
Fort Worth Miller told Hanson that
no had bought threo and got $35 TO nav
tho balance and then they concluded
TO come here, Miller paying the fare
ana leaving his wife at the hotel
IN that place. On their way
down they met third party, who had a
little money, and who concluded 10 take
part IN the speculation. On Saturday
they visited several stock-yards, and
Miller had Hanson TO go out In the coun
try few miles to show bunch of
horses. He returned toward evening.
and that is the last news that can be
heard OF Miller. He was riding bAy
horse, and was supposed 20 have with
him SlbS, which the last accepted men,
Der OF the firm had furnished. Night
coming on, and Miller not on hand, they
began to make Inquiries, but up 10 this
moment noting has been heard of
him or his horse. In answer 10
a telegram the Forth Worth hotel
Keeper says that Miller's wife is still
there, and this morning the elder part.
ner, the one met botwoen here and Fort
Worth, went up 10 that place TO see
what further could be learned of the
matter, while Hanson Is here awaiting
developments. The belief Is that his
Disappearance is not voluntary and that
he has either met with an accident or
has been the victim of foul play.
