Ait A-uin.-As will be seen by
the annexed article, which we take from
the Baltimore american Of Saturday
last, the New York stock gamblers are
again at work on the certificates issued
bv Virginia which are supposed TO bind
West Virginia to pay some fifteen mil
lion dollars. This syndicate will have
to buy great many newspapers ana Il
good many legislators before West Vir-
ginia will accept any settlement oriSi-
mated by money-making New Workers.
The american says:
Gone of The curious features OF the
current bull boom in Wall street Is
movement that is being made IN what
are known us Virginia Deferred Certiii-
Gates After West Virginia separated
from the mother State, when Virginia
made her first adjustment OF the debt
with her creditors, she somewhat arDl-
trarily decided that West Virginia's pro-
portion of the whole was one-third, and
herself assuming twO-thirds. she gave
certificates tor the one-third, settlement
of which is deferred until the two
States can come to an agreement IN re-
gard to the matter. West Virginia has
calmly declined to accept any RESPONSE
bility for the certificates, and they have
been knocking around on the market
speculatively for years at few dollars
on the hundred. A New York syndicate
has now gone to work upon them, and
has appointed committee which will
endeavor to bring about Il settlement.
In consequence buyers have been found
for the certificates to an extent that has
put the price for them up to Sl2 and $l3
on the hundred, and it is predicted
that they will soon be worth much
more. They may be advanced, specu-
latively, but those who have watched
Virginia 'debt-paying' in recent years,
and are familiar with West Virginia's
attitude upon this question, will be
very greatly astonished If that commit
tee can induce either one State or the
other to assume one dollal of this defer
red Indebtedness. The two-thirds has
been scaled down to about one.half OF
its original amount already, and there
is surely no indication that anybody in
the Virginias is DESTROYS Of assuming a
fresh lot of debts, although it cannot be
questioned at all that, between them,
the two States owe every cent of this
one-third to the old debt"

Tb,. =. MOI True.-The Illinois

This Il Not True.-The Illinois
Live Stock Commission, in commune
cation transmitted to the Governor OF
that State, report that tie disease known
as contagious pleuro-pneumonia now ex-
lists and is epidemic among the cattle OF
Jefferson county, W. Va. (and other
localities), and recommends that these
cattle be quarantined. We believe the
report of the commission to be false
when it says that this disease exists in
jefferson county. We have not heard
Of single case, much less an epidemic,
and there is no truth in the above state
ment. Referring to this matter, the
Charlestown Spirit says: ave have
heard of none of the disease here; and
further than this, there was represent
tative of the U. S. Agricultural Depart
ment here few months ago, to inquire
in regard to a similar report in refer
ence to our county which had then
gained currency elsewhere and reached
the ears of the Department. He visited
our office after having been through
the county, and Informed US that he
had found none of the disease here, and
we then so stated"

harU ALuCk.-Mr. w llllaIn DutleT,
who met with such Il serious loss two
weeks ago by having his dwelling-house
destroyed by fire, met with another Sc

Mr.. Butler had number Of horse in a

vent it from jumping. Sunday night
some one caught the hobbled horse and
rode it, as was shown by its condition
next morning. The bars of the field

colts strayed on the railroad track and
were killed. The horses were worth
not less than $500, and this loss is espe-
cially severe OH Mr.. Butler at the pres

From the Spirit:
The penetrating rain and heavy wind
of Monday night Of last week did con-
siderable damage in this locality. The
large barn of Mr.. James NJ. Ransom
was unroofed and almost demolished,
and the end wall of Mr.. w. A. Roper's
mill blown down. A considerable por-
ton of the front wall of the large stone
building near the academy Qately the
property of Mr.. F. B. Souders, but now
belonging to some of the colored orders),
gave way and fell outward. A number
of colored occupants were in the house
at the time. but although considerably
frightened for while, none were IN
jured. Large trees were thrown en-
tirely or partly down at various places.
Some fencing was also blown down..
Chimney tops were blown off at the res
licences of Mrs. Rebecca Earnshaw and
Mr.. j. w. Bane.

NEW GOODS.

We have returned from the eastern cities,
where We have purchased for cash full
stock of fall goods. Whilst the market is very
firm, and some brands have advanced. We are
very glad TO say that we have bought our en-
tire stock at old prices, which is the lowest
price ever reached in this county. We feel
that we can do better for you than any other
house in the town, as those who have not
bought theirstocks yet will have to pay the
advance on great many articles, so all we
ask of you is to come and examine our stock
and we will guarantee the prices.

obstruction near Weverton, and both

was slightly injured. a large force of
men was put to work, and the engine
and car removed after some difficulty.
The same night, at Point OF Rocks, a
rock weighing thirty or forty tons fell
from the side of one of the railroad tun-
nels into the canal. Navigation was in
terrupted for several days, until the OBJ
structions were finally removed.

Turned Up Agnin.-The question

has frequently been asked: What has
become of Ed. Randall, the would-be
evangelist, who painted Scriptural texts
all over the fences and rocks in this
neighborhood some years ago. The fol-
lowing paragraph from the Richmond
Dispatch probably answers the question ::
"Mr. Randall, formerly of Martins
burg, w. Va, who is laboring as mis-
sionary to prisoners in jails and peniten-
tiaries, conducted religious services in
the city Jail Wednesday. Claverius was
among his listeners, and after The SER
vices Mr.. Randall shook hands with the
distinguished prisoner and talked to
him at some length. Cluverius was
calm and cool. He invited the mission
airy to cali again"

What Will the Harvest BE 2,

All the farmers in this neigh5orhood
have finished seeding, and under the in
fluence of the seasonable rains and
bright sunshine the wheat is already
coming up nicely. The farmers say that
the present season is one Of the most
favorable they have ever known. The
ground was in fine condition when the
wheat was put in, and the weather since
has been all that could be desired. A
very large acreage has been sown in
this county, and we sincerely hope that
the expectations of big crop will be
abundantly realized next year.
