Cholera is making frightful pro-
gress in Europe. In Spain especi-
ally it numbers it's victims by thous-
ands. From this evil fated country
as center it is spreading in almost
all directions. 1t is making its way
into the interior of the continent to-
wards France and Germany. 1t is
scattered along the entire sea coast
of Southern Europe The latest in
formation shows that it in all prob
ability has found a footing in the
West Indies. The Cuban authori-
ties have ordered strict quarantine
on all vessels from the old country.
They are also building large
lazaretto at HAVANA. All possible
arrangements are being made to re-
ceive the unwelcome visitor. If it
is true that it is in the West Indies
it is folly for us to even hope that
we will escape it. 1t is simply a
matter of weeks and not months
when it will make its appearance in
the United States. A coast quaran-
tine at this late day can only delay
not prevent it's coming. When it
once lands upon our shores it is by
no means folly to expect it's appear
ance in Morgantown. In 1859 it
made frightful havoc in Pittsburgh.
There are many ways by which it
could reach us.

GoDEY's LADY's Book for August
is delightful number, handsomer
in appearance, and more generally
satisfactory than any of its prede-
cessors. Every month seems to
mark a stride in the progress of
this popular magazine. The pres
ent issue opens with beautiful
eAia,0-osem0 cut of my Pets" a
fine study of animal life as con
trasted with graceful girlhood, and
grouped against a strong back
ground of nature. The illustrations
this month are capital A series
of letters describing the trials of
one pressed into service to write
another's love-letters, under the
title of "a Postscript" are partic-
ularly good. bella Donna is a
very clever story of limited length,
and Mrs. Hayden's coup of Cold
Water" is well calculated to win
the fancy of all lovers of romance.
Godey's never looked better than
it looks now. In this day, when
SO many old publications are verg-
ing toward decrepitude and dotage,
it is pleasure to find one that de-
fies the march of time, and still
preserves its pristine vigor and
freshness while the years roll on.
That all may be convinced of its
merits, the Publisher offers to send
the book for the remainder of the
year for Is cents.

Quay had comparatively walk
over in the State Republican Con
vention of Pennsylvania. He was
nominated on the first ballot as the
Republican standard bearer for
Treasurer. His nomination is sim
ply the downing of one "Boss" by
another, and the beauty of it is that
even the Republicans of the great
State of Pennsylvania recognize this
as fact. Many of them propose
to award such chicanery as was
shown in the last convention by act
ing as they did in 1SS2-by voting
for the Democratic nominee The
present indications are that a large
element of the party that is tired of
"bossism" will bolt the nomination
of Quay, and as he had a walk over
in the convention in which he was
nominated, so will the Democratic
nominee have a walk over in the
State election. The $4,000 Repub-
lican majority of last fall will van
ish as mist before the morning sun
light.

LIZARDS IN HIS STOMACH.
iting Up n Whole Fam.
iIy of Reptiles.

ORANGEBURG, S. c., July 11.-Sam-
uel Crowell, an aged negro on
the farm of John p. Cuttino
twenty miles from this place, while
chopping wood yesterday morning
was taken violently i'll. DR.. Sally,
of this place, was called, and found
the old man in commissions. He
kept grasping at his sides as if
something were gnawing at his vi
tails. The physician observing this
administered an emetic. Soon after
taking the medicine the old man be-
gan vomiting, and within ten min
utes had elected from his stomach
six full grown lizards. The old man
soon began to improve, and in a
couple of hours was able to get out
of bed. Investigation proved that
four years ago, while drinking from
a spring, the negro swallowed what
at that time he said was lizard,
but as it gave him no trouble he soon
forgot about it. The one he swal-
lowed was doubtless a female and
the others were born in his stomach.
DR.. Sally has preserved the lizards
in alcohol, and they are the talk of
the whole county.

graduate of the University, and has
had charge of classical high school
in Martinsburg for the past two
years. He stands very high as a

make an excellent man for the i'm
portant place to which he has been
called.

and enlarge the present Normal
School course of study, but add.
tional branches in Normal course

cooperative relations as we'll as to
place the Normal Schools on higher
plane of work and usefulness to the
State.

II Wont Down.

Among the resolutions passed by
the State Educational Association.
held at Keyser last week, is the fol
lowing.
"Resolved, That in order to bring
the West Virginia University into
harmony with all other Schools sup
ported by taxation, its doors should
be open alike to both sexes"
Exactly so! The educational
sentiment of the State is a unit on
this subject The masses of the
taxpayers are almost a unit. 1t was
shown, last winter, that the Legisla-
ture was largely in favor of it, but
it was defeated on side issues that
had no proper relation to the merits
of the question. 1t comes nearer
being question of but one side than
any other matter of State polity.
The wonder is that it should be
possible to so long defeat the popu-
lar will and hamper the usefulness
of the University. But it will come
along one Of these days with a mo-
mentum that will be irresistible. :,

The Total Yield ofWheat i'm the
Country Will Fall Short of
500. 900. 900 Bushels.

CoLUMBus, O., July 1.-THE July
crop report of the Ohio Board of
Agriculture, based on go township
reports, gives the following esti-
mates.
Wheat-Condition compared with
full crop, 46 per cent, probable total,
1884, 900 bushels, against an aver
age crop of IL, 100000 bushels, and
the June estimate of 10000, 900 bush
els, falling off of 10 per cent since
June LIST.
Condition of other crops compared
with average crop for five years
Corn, "a per cent; rye, 70; barley
IA; oats, 104; fax, "a; potatoes, 100;
tobacco, 81; timothy, 70; clover, II;
pastures, SO; apples, Sc; peaches, II /;
pears, "a; grapes, SO; wool, per cent.
of full total, IA; wool, average price
offered, 90 cents.
CROPS IN OTHER STATES.
From kilograms and letters from
official and trustworthy private
sources Secretary Chamberlain makes
the following estimates of the wheat
crop in other States: New York,
II 900, 900; Virginia, 2, 400, 900; North
Carolina, $500, 900; Indiana, q, 0O0,-
900; Pennsylvania, 100000; Hi
nois, $500, 600; West Virginia, $780,
600; Wisconsin, $4,000, 900; Georgia,
100000; Missouri 9,S70,000; Ten
nessee, 100000: Kansas, II, 100000;
Maryland, 4, 100000; Ohio, 1884
900; California, 24,000,000: Mich
gan, 25,000,000; Minnesota, "a, 000,-
900; Iowa, 30,000,0O0 Total Of
these nineteen principal States, $780,
054, 900 bushels.
These nineteen States on a five
years average furnish 412,000,000
bushels Of the entire total of 451 ,000,-
900 bushels produced in the United
States and Territories. Even if the
States not given above yield a full
average crop this year, the total for
the United States on this basis will
be not quite 300,000,O00 this year,
against an average of 451, 900, 600,
and a last years total of 513, 100000
bushels.
The spring-wheat crop is still in
nearly average condition, but its try
ing time is yet to come The disas-
ter to the winter crop is now admit
ted by all who know the facts to be
precedented. The weather for the
past thirty days has been exceedingly
good and what wheat there is, is of
good quality.

A new difficulty has presented it.
self to the Republican leaders of
Ohio You remember the Republi-
cans have run the campaigns ON a
cash basis for the last twenty years
A small tax on those who were liv-
ing off Republican victory furnish
ed the money which has heretofore
bought the votes that have turned
the balance in their favor. But
their defeat last fall deprived them
to certain extent of this strong
arm of support. They however are
making all efforts in their power to
raise money from the remaining Re-
publican employees to buy votes in
Ohio. 1t is very reasonable to sus-
pect that when a Republican clerk
gets hold of dollar nowadays he
has a great desire to keep it, as it
may be the last one he will see soon.
From the great howl that is being
raised in their camp we are assured
that this is true.

If there is Supervisor of roads
in the county that knows how to
make road. he hasn't yet shown
up.
We might make one exception:
Mat. Larkin has shown more skill
and judgment, in the care of the
Granville road, than any other man
in the business.
1t would be worth hundreds and
thousands of dollars to the county
if we could secure a few men to
supervise the making and repairing
of our public roads who know the
first principles of the business. The
manner Of working the roads as now
done, and as has been done from time
immemorial in this county, is worse
than wasted. 1t is a monumental
burlesque on road-making. 1t is a
sham and a shame. We haven't a
road in the county that is fit to drive
a buggy over, and none that will not
break down and pull down any ordi-
nary wagon and team that are put
upon them for any considerable
time.
If anybody is curious to see a
sample of our usual style of road
making, he can find it on the river
road between Deckers and Cobuns
creeks. That is naturally the best
piece of road we have. 1t would be
passable if never worked; but few
days ago a gang of hands was put
upon it, and they deliberately piled
all the stones they could find in the
middle of the road-stones as big as
a man head were thrown, unbroken,
in the center of the road-and there
they remain and will remain. until
they are gradually ground down by
years of humping and grinding UNI
der the wheels of vehicles. 1t is
true this gang of hands ought to be
indicted for obstructing the public
highway, but for the fact that pre-
cedent in our road making has null
lifted the law against distractions.
We are hardly able to determine
whether our road supervisors are
using their best judgment tie make a
road or to obstruct it. Certain it is,
however, that they never improve a
road, and their style of work seems
specially designed to spite the tray
eler who must use it.

Chronic Ulcers and Caaarrla.

Mrs. Christian Zelle, aged sixty-three
years, of Carondelet, ST. Louis, Missouri,
had chronic ulcer on her leg which had
been running for forty three years. To
use her own language, she had "tried all
the doctors" but without perceptibe ben
eft. Two of the most noted of this city
advised her, as the only alternative from
death, to have the leg amputated below
the knee. She was troubled with an
intolerable itching sensation, which only
gave way to a distracting pain, which
made death her daily wish. She could
not sleep or rest. On March IL, this
year, she commenced using DR.. Hart
mans PERUNA, and to-day the leg is
entirely healed, and the thankful old lady
says she has slept more during the last
three months than she did in the previous
forty three years.
Miss Alice Brady, of East st. Louis,
Illinois, suffered from catarrh ophthalmia
for five years. On April ~ she began
treatment under DR.. Hartman. For
year before she was patient Of two of
the best known oculists of this city, but
they signally failed to help her. After
one month under DR.. Hartman and his
PERUNA, her eyes have almost entirely
healed, and, according to her own state
ment, he has done more for her in this
short space of time than the oculists did
in the previous whole year. PERUNA,
of course, did it.
Miss Annie Baker, First Avenue, Mil
waukee, writes: II take great pleasure
in recommending PERUNA. For years
have suffered from Asthma. l was in
duced to try PERUNA. 1t promptly
relieved the paroxysms, and its continued
use renders their recurrence less and less
frequent. am confident it will cure me
completely"
Walker Brothers, druggists, Batavia, O.,
write: CDR. S. B. HARTMAN, Columbus,
O., Dear Sir Some two weeks ago had
very peculiar case, and after few ques-
tons were answered, / came to the con-
clusion it was catarrh of the stomach of
the worst kind, of ten years. standing.
The patient had consulted every ply
stefan far and near. I persuaded her to
try your PERUNA and MANALIN. She
had been having spasrns every three or
four days, and the fifth dose kept them
of, and they have not returned since"
w. M. Griffith, Ashland, KY, writes:
"The large chronic ulcers of fifteen
months standing, are entirely healed.
The swelling, pain and itching have all
subsidized, the leg is healed, and am per-
fectly well. PERuNA is a wonderful rem.
sdy."

On the 7th of July Collector Nc
Graw made the following appoint
ments: Sixth Division, which en-
braces the counties of Greenbrier,
Fayette, Mercer, Monroe and Sum-
mers, William Steele, of Union,
Monroe county, vice Hiram Lewis;
which appointment took effect on
the 9Th inst. Mr.. Steele is one of
the leading business men of his
county, having been Sheriff for
three different terms.
Ninth Division, which consists of
the counties of Morgan, Berkeley,
and Jefferson, DR.. J. L. w. Baker, of
Martinsburg, vice c. w. Wisner
This appointment will not take eff
feet until the Goth inst, so as to per-
nit the appointee to become some
what familiar with the duties of the
Office. Mr.. Baker has for some
years past been the Chairman of the
State Board of Pharmacy.
Tenth Division, composed of the
counties of Hampshire, Hardy, Pen
dleton, Grant and Mineral, Isaac T.
Brady, of Romney, vice II. N. War
den; the appointment to take effect
on the 18th inst, for the same rea-
son that Mr.. Baker does not com
mence work on the goth. Mr.. Bra
dy is one of the leaders of the De
mocracy of Hampshire county, and
has been quite successful business
man.
Collector McGraw will continue
in the good work and make the APP
pointments just as fast as it is poll
cy to do so. No one need complain
on account Of hesitancy on his part
to make changes, for rest assured
he will do what he thinks best, and
what will reflect most credit on him
self and party. The appointment
of Brady, of Romney, is considered
by those who were dissatisfied some
time ago to be good one, and ev-
erything is going on quietly in that
section now.

1t is expected that the next re-

advocate one cent postage. 1t has
long since been the opinion of some
Of the leading men of both Houses
Of Congress that this plan would
succeed, while it always has been
vigorously opposed by the Postmas-
ter Generals preceding Colonel
Villas. The latter however views
the subject from a broader stand
point. He thinks the postage should
be so low that the poorest could
avail themselves of the advantages
of the mails. His policy is not to
treasure up money in the public
vaults, money that ought to be cir
culating among the people. He be
lieves the Department would be self
sustaining at one cent postage, and
as consequence anticipates advo
eating it in his next report.

Some of our calculating fellow cit
liens are already in a panic about
the cost of a Centennial Celebration.
1t is possible to make the celebra-
ton very costly affair. But there
is no necessity of it, and moreover,
we don't believe it will be. We can
have very creditable celebration
at little or no cost. The chief in
terest will center in the historic dis
play. 1t will be entertaining in
proportion as the various exhibit
lions are pertinent and appropriate.
1t will therefore depend for its sue
cess, more on the thought and tact
of our people than on an expenditure
of money. Money will help TO make
1T brilliant, and we ought to have
money The Town Council ought
to appropriate literally, and each
district ought to raise a purse for
its own purposes.
But this will not bankrupt any
body. 1t will not inconvenience
anybody. Everybody will contrib
ute little money, but the most val
liable contribution anyone can make
will be to think and devise for the
occasion. We will first put our
heads together and then our purses
together, and nobody will be hurt
The cry of cost is all a bugaboo.
