HARRISBURG, feOruary Lo.-lne snatluk

There is nothing exhilerating in skating IN
A heated, dusty room over a rough pine
floor. But it is doubtful whether the finest

Mark Twain says, we get up And 60 to
bed" such a thing as pleasure never enter
ing our minds. Without wishing to discour-
age any one who contemplates moving into
our midst, ! cannot refrain from speaking
aarshly of a place which contains the
wealth Clarksburg does and can only at
rract one show during the entire winter sea-
son. And then when any amusement does
come along the people are so suspicious
hat it may not be just the right kind that
he entire audience is composed Of men and
BOYS. The only diversions this winter have
been T. regular whist evenings. This
1uiet game seems to attract our sober
'ownspeople more than skating or the pop
alar game Of progressive euchre.
