MORGANTOWN, w. VA.
saturday, July Is. 1855.

Boar riding is the most popular
amusement Of the season.
THANKS to our clever friend Clark
Cole for favors extended this morning.
The finishing touches are being
put on the M. p. Church. In a few
days it will be completed.
IT is reported that gentleman
from Uniontown will open a grocery
store in the Wallace store room in a
short time.
NICE pocket maps, Of Virginia,
West Virginia and Maryland, show
ing all the postoflices in each county,
fully indexed, at the News Store.
THE several new buildings that are
being erected by Mr.. Hoffman on his
farm are approaching completion.
They are all to be finished early in
the coming fall.
NOTICE the report Of the Second
National Bank in another column.
The resources show an advance Of
over two thousand dollars since the
last report we printed.
WORK at the water well is pro
crossing slowly. The depth now
reached is about $50 feet. We have
little doubt that the boring will be
completed next week.
WE learn that Charley Dorsey, a
son of Warren G. Dorsey, was thrown
from horse few days ago and was
severely hurt about the head. We hope
he has recovered from his injuries.
SEVERAL good local letters and
other matter are crowded out this
week. 1t seems that if we would
make the New DOMINION as big as a
blanket the result would be the same.
New subscribers still continue to
drop in for the New DOMINION unso-
licited. This is "pretty good
sign" and is very encouragin'. We
hope to long enjoy the same expert
ence.
A COUPLE of the boys came in
from Cheat river the other day to lay
in a fresh supply Of provisions.
They returned the same day, after
extending us very pressing invita-
ton to join the party, but it was
only half gallon jug we declined.
'eTHE moon of Mahomet arose, and
it shall set,' says Shelley; but if you
will set bottle of DR.. Bulls Cough
Syrup in some handy place you will
have quick cure for Group, coughs
and colds, when your children are
troubled with them.
Mr.. J. X. MYLER met with quite
serious accident last Friday. While
he was at work in his blacksmith
shop hot cinder struck him in the
eye. 1t is thought however that the
hurt inflicted will not cause.-the loss
Of eye sight.
Our railroad news to day is very
encouraging. Work is progressing
on the second span of the big bridge
in way that indicates its early com
pletion After that it will require but
few weeks to lay the track, and the
railroad will be completed to Morgan
town.
FROM private letter we learn that
Rev. o. M. Miller, formerly of this
place, now of Ninety-Six, South Caro-
lima, has been called to the pastorate
East Capital Street Baptist Church,
Washington, d. c., and will likely &C
cept. The position is q very response
BILE one, and the call is regarded by his
friends as high compliment to the
ability and energy of Mr.. Miller.
ONE of our correspondents sug
gests in to-day's' paper that an OK
roast would be fitting accompani
ment of our proposed celebration in
October next. He is right in that
and we have no doubt he will find it
one of the prominent features that
will be put down on the bills. That
has been in contemplation VIC believe
by the projectors of the enterprise
from its inception.
Our Grand Clearance Sale com
mences July 10Th. All goods at and
below cost. Some great bargains as
these goods must be closed to make
room for fall stock and we are deter
mined not to carry them if prices
will move them. Our buyer starts
East in few days and we will need
room You can secure great in
ducemeEts now at HrRsoHMAN's.
NUMEROUS improvements are in con
temptation in and about town both
upon private and public property.
The town authorities will soon open
the streets and alleys in the new adj
dition and we learn will make new
street of Long Alley from Walnut to
North Boundary. Besides the new
buildings now in course of construc
ton we hear of new business houses
and new dwellings that are to be
erected. Among others the Clark
property is to be changed and an
other storeroom made in the South
end. With the completion of the
RAILROAD; the gas and water works,
and the new life that will pervade
everything Morgantown's future is
promising.
