REvERBERAToNs.-WHAr THE Pa
PIERS SAY ABOUT Our CENTENNIAL
The Morgantown Centennial was, as
we predicted, grand success, not
withstanding the day was not as fine
as might have been for an outdoor ju-
bilation. Thousands of visitors from
far and near were present, and with
speeches and poems, music and feast
ing, all enjoyed the occasion grandly.
The day will be one long to be re
membered by the Morgantown citi-
zens. Right nobly, too, did the pa
pers of the town do their duty in get
ting up the affair, as well as in re-
porting it after it was over Waynes-
burg Messenger.

ELECTRO RADIANT MAGIC LANTERN
ENTERTAINMENTS the evening of
Wednesday, Nov. 25th, Mr.. c. E.
Watts will exhibit his famous Elec-
tro Radiant Magic Lantern and Pan
Drama Scenery at Academy Hall.
The entertainment will be given for
the benefit of the NJ. p. church. 1t
is very highly spoken of by persons
who have seen it. 1t consists of the
following parts:
Part Eighteen of the hard
fought battles of the late war; Sur
render of General Lee; Bombardment
of Fort Sumpter; Merrimac and Mon
itor; Fort Sumpter in Flames.
Part U.-Eighteen of the most
Beautiful Scenes in the Old and New
Testaments; Twelve Beautiful Scenes
of Pilgrims Progress; Twelve Views
from the Plains; Thirty six Astron-
omical Views and Comet; Eight very
Fine Comic views.
Part III.-Eighteen Views of the
most Beautiful and Costly Churches
and Cathedrals in the World. and
many others too tedious to mention.
In referring to it Prof Thos. c.
Miller, of Fairmont, speaks as fol-
lows:
"The exhibition of Scripture and
War scenes, views of noted build
ings and astronomical views, given
in School Hall last night by Mr.. C.
L. Watts, of this place, with an i'm
proved magic lantern, was highly
enjoyable as well as an exceedingly
instructive entertainment. | believe
as much knowledge regarding the
earth and other planets and heavenly
bodies can thus be obtained in one
hour as by many hours study with
out the aid of these beautiful illus
trations.
Il know all that attend Mr.. Watts
exhibitions will be fully repaid

The foregoing is the largest roll Of
honor published for perhaps several
years. The whole number neither
absent nor tardy in all grades is 76
The total enrolment for the month
was 224. From these figures We
see that little more than one-third
of the entire number of pupils upon
the rolls present perfect record Of
attendance While this is Justly 9
matter of pride to us, still we are
concerned about the other two-thirds
OF course some of these were tardy
or absent of necessity but they arr
not in the majority. I say to thu
patrons of the Morgantown Public
Schools confidently, that if they viii
do their entire duty and give us theil
earnest cooperation in securing reg
ular attendance on the part of theil
children, that the number of names
upon the Roll of Honor, need not b,
less than two-thirds of the enroll
ment, instead of one-third as it nov
is. Neither in the public schools
nor anywhere else can there b,
taught many lessons more importan
than that of punctuality., This enc
can be attained only by active co
operation of parents and teachers.
Respectfully,

A YOUTHFUL FoRGER-JoHN S.
MARTIN, OF GUsEMAN's MILLS, TRIES
TRIeK.-On last Thursday, John
). Martin, young man nineteen
years of age, who halls from the
neighborhood of Guseman's mill,
Preston county, w. Va, sauntered
into the grocery store of James /.
Feather, Main street, and informed
that gentleman that he had twelve
thousand dollar note he wished to
negotiate. He selected the right
man, providing the note had been a
good one, as Feather is ever ready
to shave preferred paper at a good
round discount. The name of the
alleged maker of the note was Lucien
A. Martin, father of the young man,
and the names of Joseph Feather
and John H. Feather appended as
security. James /. was acquainted
with all these gentleman well, be-
ing relatives of his, and knew if they
had signed their names to the note
that it was gilt-edge paper. The
young man was liberal, and offered
Mr.. Feather discount that would
allow him a matter of $1,000 for
cashing the note, however, he inform
ed the youthful forger that if he
would come around next day he
could cash the instrument,provided
telegram from the sureties announc-
ed they had signed it. Accordingly
he sent a message to one of them
and received the reply that it was a
forgery and instructed him to get
the note and detain the man trying
to negotiate it. His word came too
late as the bird had flown. Mr..
Feather did not get to see him any
more. Evidently he knew that word
would come that would be adverse
to his getting the cash. Young Mar
tins father received word of the
matter and came over last Sunday.
In conversation about the matter,
he informs us that he was utterly
surprised at his sons conduct. He
says that all the names to the note
are forged; that his son has been a
moral, exemplary young man up to
this time, and has been Bleaching
school for several winters. He fur
ther states that he is inclined to
think the boy is deranged by his ac-
tions for the past two or three weeks
The son is turning his education, SO
dearly bought by his fathers toll, to
bad purposes, and judging from his
tender years, if he still pursues the
course he will look through prison
bars during time, if properly occu-
pied, might prove the most useful
term of his life. If he escapes pun
ishment this time we hope the trans
action may serve as lesson to him.

county, has real live ghost; at
least it is able to make a noise and
the villagers are all broken up over
the matter. The noise made by his
Ghostship resembles the moaning of
some giant beast in the last agonies
of death. The sound can easily be
located but when you go to the spot
there is nothing to be seen and the
noise seems to come from another
quarter. The most prominent citi-
zens of the neighborhood are inyesti-
eating the matter and are determin-
ed to see what it is that disturbs
their slumbers. Perhaps it's the
wall of some dying Mugwump.

have never witnessed such financial
distress among the farmers Of the
State as that Of the present day. The
price of farm produce is astonishing
" low. Cheese in this country is sell
ling at only six cent a pound and but
ter at fifteen cents. This is another
item to sustain the theory Of our pro-

Of the farm are admitted to be low,
