NorSpsvILLE, May 21.-Having buSi-
rss, at the Mound City yesterday ye
,3tor hustled aboard the FIRST train,
and before he was aware Of it the
broad plateau of this ancient Indian village
was at his feet.
Noundsville is not dead IS She6P' (see
new version), IS that famous lunAtic, Editor
P,-R,cE, once said Of this good old town,
hut it is quiet; so qniet they say, that you
can put your ear alongside the growing
yegstatlou and hear it shoot upward so fast
il rises.
Today in its youth, was q nice day for
spi,nic. The Episeopsians thought so, at
least, for they prepared their nncheons in
rlenty, adorned their persons in the light
fabrics so necessary for the season and hied
themselves to that famous resort known as
Cresaps Grove, where the tall and broad
NAPLES entertEine their branches and their
dense emerald leaves bid defiance to Mr..
Sols sultry MONDAY rays. The picnic was
success. Two carloads of age, youth and
beauty the latter quite abundant, charged
on the River train and inside of On hour
were making the old grove resound with
their JOYOUS mirth.
Speaking of this picnic reminds Us the
talented young pastor, Rev. R. G. NOLAN,
vhoes other charge is at WeIlsburg, will
shortly bid farewell to his flock here. The
Bishop has requested this change in order
that Mr.. NOLAN may attend more particu-
larly to his new church and growing charge
st Wellsburg. The vestry here have ex-
tended call to Rev. HAMMOND, of New
Msrtirsyille, which as yet has not been &C
cepted.
Federal politics is q strange bird that has
rot ahghted to any pereeptaole extent in
Moundsyille, and consequently, has not
scratched up the usual disturbance which
one hears Of all over the land. This is at
tributsble chiefly to two causes. One is,
that Il ere is only one Office here to breed
contention, and the other is, the estimsble
Tersonsge who holds the Office and deity shut
lies the letters and fingers the stamps. Miss
CANS is both the amiable and efficient post
Mistress whose official slippers there are
lalt dozen impatient males anxious to
f.. Not but what the slippers could be
sufficiently enlarged, to be sure, but simply
because the MounisVilleans think the lady
is good enough and does her work well
enough, and is IN no sense what might be
called bitter partisan" Then again she
don't come under that other head which the
REsIsTER spoke Of Sheis willing to affirm she
never attended political meeting or partici-
pated in campaign during her official career.
So you see the lady is safe on that score,
so what are they going to do about it. you
ask2 Give it up. But we can say this:
Miss CANS viii probably be permitted to
hold her place until her term OF ofice eI-
pires, when a good Democrat will succeed
her. That is she will probably be permitted
to remain if the Republican press Of the
land have sense enough to know good lib
eral President when one IS enthroned and
whose aim Is to voice the wishes OF the
people.
"Our town Is not much of lswing
place" said that old fashioned Jefersoniau
Democrat Hon. J. W. MCCARRIER, to US
as we spanned the board walks, straddled
the fences and slipped in big chunks of the
nurest atmosphere in the Ohio Valley.
"Our people don't take to it, ne SAID, and
therefore the bar is not large, nor do our
legal talent get rich very fast. "Oh, no!
Then that's hard on the bar, we CALCULATED.
But sotto voee, we continued, what wise
and favored community.
Here we are," as we faced the massive
front of the prison, said Mr.. Mac, and IN q
moment we stood Vis-a-viS in the front Of
ce.to Mr.. PICK, the new superintendent OF
this house of strength, punishment and cor
rection. We took good survey Of the
man. chstted with him freely, when shaking
bands ON our departure we thought to our
eaIves aoout ike this: That man will MAKE
a snIendid officer. He has frmness and de-
termination well outlined in bis makeup,
and his conversation indicates him to be q
man of good common sense, and having ex-
celent knowledge ofbusiness.
Mr.. PsCK is a man of about so years OF
egs GOOD address, has fine head ana
lT;ebt eve. and altogether leaves very
rles sing impression upon his VISITOR. he
has some very positive views on STATE anu IA,
tiopal politics which tell that bels not letnng
the grass grow, and his thoughts remain
ouiet at the same time. de IS TeignlnS
both men and measures and hooHng OUT
,be inner thoughts Of the former, as Il were
and holding them up to his closer scrutiny
We do NOT agree with him on some points,
bnt ike the man for all that. Governor
WILSON showed good wit IN this appoint
We saw Clerk Brown there, too: Busy
at York "a usual. He appears q hxture'
wb;cb to mart with would be almost as haz,
srJons as breaking wheelrope In gale OF
Wind- so much depends upon the steering oi
Commissary MARTIN, that genial and
pleasant gentleman, was also there, taxing
care oF tbings until W. WILKINSON, Esq, Of
Wavns arrives, which will be to-day or to
morrow. ...I -,
This gentleman is the new assistant su
nar;ntenSent, an Office that has not existed
IN The Penitentiary for q number OF years
if at all. Why this Office was created AZ m tols
tine, unless it be to do away with t1s com
missary, is beyond our ken. ME, . AASTaS snS
