W EST NIRGINIA'5 EXIIIBIT.-Thc
New Orleans Times-Democrdt makes
the following mention of West Vir-
ginia's exhibit at the exposition:
This being essentially forestry
and mining State, its exhibits mark
edly show its wealth in these lines.
Here are seen huge blocks of semi
bituminous. spIint, camel, gas and
cokcing Goals. These have been Sc
lected from only small portion of
the State, owing 10 pecuniary and
transportation difficulties. These
varieties of coal are found throughout
the length and breadth of that por-
ton of the State west of and includ-
ing the AlIegany mountains, while
from the counties of Berkeley and
Morgan are specimens of the immense
beds of superior anthracite COAL
The samples of forestry exhibit such
a variety of hard woods that in extent
and quality are said to be unsurpass-
ed in the world.
The iron ores massed in the space
of this State consist mainly of lemon
lite, red and brown hcmatitcs, specu-
lar ores, etc. There is an artistic
display of elegant terra Gotta wares,
an industry with promising future for
this State; but ecIipsing all the other
displays of West Virginia are that
of their woods, which for variety and
fincness and length of fibre and weight
of fleece are said to compare favor
ably, and is thought by many to excel
any State in the Union.''

Christmas Entertainment at
kabletoWn.

The entertainment at Kabletown,
on Christmas eve, was a grand sue
cess in every particular. The Church
was handsomely and elaborately
decorated, and brilliantly lighted
throughout with attractive waXen
lights. A beautiful tree arose out of
a snow bank, and was filled with nice
and useful presents from the trunk
to the top-each scholar receiving a
present. Alovely angel doll was sus-
pended in the top of the tree. beneath
which was its greeting, "Peace on
Earth, Good Will to Men," in ever
green letters on a write background.
In front of magnificent arch of ever
green were two rows of brilIiantli lights.
The scene was perfectly dazzling and
beautiful. AS large as the tree was,
a table was also filled with presents.
The presents were all useful, besides
confectionery. Little Zadie, the in
tcresting daughter of Mr.. John J..
Woodward, presided at the organ
with grace and elegance of manner
that was we'll becoming one of more
mature years, and won for herself
laurels of praise from charmed au-
dience. The audience was large aud
appreciative. A number of scholars
gave recitations, and the music was
fine, especially the Christmas Bells. ("
Rev. Mr.. Hildebrand delivered short
address. A handsome pair of slip
pers was hung on the tree for him by
two ladies and a gentleman. The
whole thing reflected great credit on
those who got it up. Too much praise
cannot be said of Mr.. and Mrs. Sharp,
Oracle, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Kerchc-
val, Mcssrs. Samuel Barr, George
Mccormack, B. f. Yates, and Miss
Mary Clenlan, who worked so hard
and faithful to make it n success
They spared no pains in their labors
to please all, and it is satisfaction
to them to know that all were de-
lighted. It will be an occasion long
to be remembered by all present, and
it had to be seen to be appreciated,
for no pen can describe or language
portray the beauties that greeted the
eyes. OBSERVER.

Under the above caption, the Win
chester Ne,us makes pleasant refer
ence to the indomitable and we'll
known Charles B. Ro1ss, Esq, from
which it affords US sincere gratifica-
ton to take the following extract:
Right in the heart of the old bus
mess part of Broadway may be found
a big part-though the soul of it is
not a tall man-of Winchester's share
on the Virginia colony of New York.
This representative of our ancient
burg has fixed himself so long-deep-
IL there rs to have acquired the SOU
briefly of Charles Broadway Rouss,-
the name appended in full to his
monthly trade-circulars, those cx-
traordinary contributions to mercan-
tile literature most of us arc familiar
with. But it is not only the name on
them. They have about forty names
of his clerks and assistants, several
of whom are also Valleymen-among
them Willie Ward, son of Pendleton
and cousin of Z" Mars Bob;" and
besides these there must be twice US
many more employees in and about
what is perhaps the most bustling cs-
Enlistment you will find in the En-
pire City.
c. B. R. has never forgotten his
first home and its people, and a little
talk with him convinces you that lie
never will. He has embedded the
town and State in the names of two
of his children; he takes most of the
Virginia papers and says he reads the
Ne,ns through every week, advertise
ments and all. His big scrap book
is full of clippings illustrative of peo-
pie and events in this region, running
back more than a generation. He has
in short big heart in small frame,
and we may add does a big business,
with twenty thousand customers, six
hundred letters to answer daily, and
n capital of half million.

been pastor of one of the leading
Methodist churches in Brooklyn.
mysteriously disappeared from his
home few days ago, and no clue to
his whereabouts could be found. He
has since turned up in Boston, and

affected by the use of choral and
chagrin at the defeat of Blaine, for

An earthquake shock was perceiv-
ed at various points in Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia (including
this locality and the District of CO.
lumbia about ten minutes after 8
O'Clock on Friday night. There is a
general impression that the vibration
was a continuation of the terrible
shocks which have made desolation
in Southern Spain. The shocks were
felt in this country on the same paral-
lels of latitude as in Spain. The
Pulsations of the great Lisbon earth
quake in November, 1875, were felt
in America on the Atlantic coast from
Cape Hatteras to the st. Lawrence
river.

to the probable policy of the ineom-
ing administration toward the coIorcd
people, ce-Prcsidcnt-elect Hen

constitution that confer citizenship
upon the colored man and guarantee
him his civil and political rights
