council Of Wheeling TO obtain sep
aration of the counties of Hancock,
Brooks, Ohio and Marshall from the
state of West Virginia, and have
them attached permanently to the

naturally belong. The motion was
favored by nearly every member Of
both branches of council. The peo-
pile of the Panhandle complain of the
removal of the capital of the state
from Wheeling to Charleston. and
the denial of the state Legislature to
promote the interests of Wheeling

From the London Times. J

In the course of excavations by
workmen engaged in digging the
foundations for new London and
county bank at Canterbury, very
interesting discovery has been made.
At q depth of rather more than if
teen feet from the surface, and in a
bed of soil apparently virgin and of a
dark silky nature, the skulls of oxen
have been exhumed which, from the
peculiar curvature of the horns and
other distinctive characteristics, are
pronounced to have belonged to the
ancient British OK, Bos longifrons.
This species OF horned cattle was not
found at an earlier period than that
known as the neolithic or polished
stone implement period. They form
ed the staple food of the ancient
Britons, and, curiously enough dis
appeared at the time of the Saxon in
vasion. The specimens are in pos
session of the East Kent Natural
History Society.

THE BABY ACT

The Wheeling Register is pleading
the baby act on the minority of the
Legislature. 1t advances the wonder
full proposition that the minority is
responsible for the failure to pass
needed and proper laws. What folly
Was the proposed amendment pro-
viding exemption for farmers defeat
ed by the minority or majority
Was it slaughtered by those who vo-
ted for it or those who voted against
it! Plainly, Enthusiastically and une-
quivocably is was killed by the ma
jority refusing to pass it and permit
the people to vote upon it. The fell
low underneath generally yells
enough. not the fellow on top.

A SENSIBLE VOTE.

An effort was made in the House
OF Delegates to extend the session
for a pe.iod Of fifteen days but for
tunately, enough votes were found
TO prevent the requisite two-third
majority-there being Sc votes for
and 20 votes against it. Forty-fiye
days have been FILTERED away at a
fearful expense, and to saddle an adj
ditional ten or fifteen thousand dol
lars on the taxpayers with no prob
ability Of accomplishing any good
and the possibility Of doing harm
would seem improper and useless.
To promise something in fifteen days
with nothing to show for forty DAYS
labor Except the per diem) is a
shaky and unbusiness-like PROPOSE
ton. We are sorry to find Mr..
Snodgrass on the side of extension
after his experience on the exemp.
tions.

ANOTHER ZUNATIC.

We find the following published in
the Harrisburg Sunday Telegram,
said to have been written to the editor
OF that paper by a gentleman. We
are glad to note that the editor does
not give it endorsement. The name
OF the writer who proposes to make
. donation to found University,
should not be withheld Please, Mr..
Editor, publish his name. The clip
ping is as follows:
ave have received from a gentle
man residing in Martinsburg w. Va.
the strange letter given below. The
proposal it contains is extraordinary
and one we cannot endorse. The
letter runs as follows:
cit is generally conceded to be
fact that agnosticism and even athe-
ism are making great Roadway among
the people of these United States.
Ingersoll has become to many the
evangelist Of latter days, and as 1
think rightly. But I do not see that
the men who have had their eyes
opened and to whom no God seems
better than an impossible one, are
doing anything to educate the rising
generation in their immortal theories.
Schools exist where may be imbibed
every form of the Cristain faith.
Mahomedans, Buddhists, and in fact
all the great professors of religions
containing theism as part of their
creed have special schools wherein
the young are instructed, and future
preachers are trained. Even l, though
anything but wealthy man, would
gladly give of my little something to
aid in founding school and univer-
sity wherein the higher philosophy
taught by Ingersoll shall alone have
sway. Will not some of the rich of
my belief assist in this great work
Our enemies say we can only destroy
Let us show them that we can also
build"
