He stands 1917 hands high and in color Ia
a handsome bay without a white spot on
him. The name, Cleveland, Bay Ia used
to designate a superior class Of horses that
originated in the district Of Cleveland,
Yorkshire. They are all handsome bays
and have been bred so pure for so long a
time that they transmit their character
lstiCs and color with almost uuerring GER
tainty totheir Offspring. There size, action,
Bymmetrya aud muscular developmenttaken

Capt. Henry seamon, the well known
cigar manufacturer, recently sold to q
Canada dealer 5000 Wheeling stogiss. The
iormalties through which 1t is necessary
to go to ship these cigars out Of the coun-
try are interesting, and comparatively I'M
known to the public, 1t is necessary first
10 file with the Collector Of the district in
which the cigars are manufactured, q mo-
tice and entry for export. a written order
is then issued 10 the Inspector TO examine
the package OF packages OF cigars, and
after doing this he is obliged to hle q writ

be in accordance with the notice filed, q
permit Is issued by the Collector Tor the
shipment Of the cigars to the customs
authorities Of this country at the port
nearest the port Of entry in Canada OF the
destination Of the cigars. In the case oil
the cigars shipped by Capt. Seamon, they
are sent to the customs officers ct Detroit,
who transfer them to the Canadian collec-
tor at Chatham, Ontario. With this oii'
cor they remain in bond until the Cana
dian taxes on them are paid by the con
gignee.
Notwithstanding all this formality, the
only cost incurred is q fee Of twenty cents

Mr.. Robert Frazier, q well known
farmer Of this county, who has resided
with his family on the hill back Of the
Eighth ward for a number OF years past,
died very suddenly with hePrtbdisease,
about s o'clock Tuesday evening. For
several years he had been troubled at
times with pains about the heart, but
these spells were never Of long duration
and would soon pass away. He was at
work all day Tuesday and appeared TO be
In unusually good health. After supper he
sat down by the fire and remarked that
no was afraid another spell was coming.
His wife went to get him a cup of strong
coffee. She had scarcely left the room
before Mr.. Frazier pitched forward in his
chair and falling, hit his head against a
corner Of the fire place. His SOD, who was
In the room, picked him up and laid him
on d bed. He lived only about fifteen
minutes afterward. He was In his sixty.
seventh year, and was a pioneer OF
this vicinity, having been born at Mt.
Pleasant, Ohio, and having lived In this
county nearly half q century. He was

Reports from out along the Hempfeld
road are to the effect that the snow that
has fallen Is from 10 to IA inches in depth.
At West Alexander the fall was go heavy
that that lodged on the roof OF the U. p.
church damaged the roof considerably
and in slipping OF Tuesday evening, car
ried away two Of the chimneys. It is
something decidedly foreign to the usual
order OF things to have this much snow in
this locality on the 7th Of April. Parties
coming in from West Liberty this
county, report several inches Of snow, and
from west OF Bridgeport comes the report
that tho snow is about ten inches deep.
The snow appears to have been general
all along the valley. At Parkersburg there
ia about nine inches on the surrounding
hills, and last nights river dispatches In.
dictate a SNOW storm all along the Monon.
gahela valley. Should a sudden thsw
take place before the river subsidies, there
would be further alarm.
