man and family have departed for
their Western home, and no doubt
have landed ere this. A crowd of
friends and relatives gathered at
their home on the morning of their
departure to bid them farewell.
Miss Minnie Reay is spending a
week or two visiting friends since
the close of her school. Miss Minnie
leaves for her home at Morgantown
this week with the well wishes of all
the many friends she has made in
Cheat Neck. We are very sorry to
lose her from our midst, especially
do some of our young gentlemen feel
very sad over it. Hope she may
come again.
Miss Hattie Hare, one of Easton's
most amiable and charming young
ladies, made her many friends in the
Neck glad by her presence among us
several days last week.
Miss Hattie Donaldson was called
to Scottdale, few days since, on
account of sickness in her brothers
family.
Aunt Sarah Scott is confined to
her room with a complicated dis
ease.

A Good Eagle Story.

Allen Smith, of Grcenbrier county,
while at work had his attention at
tracted by loud cutlery and com
motion among number of crows
near his premises. Upon investiga-
ton he discovered that an eagle had
swoopc'i down upon one of his geese
and was making away with it, pur-
sued by the crows. The eagle and
its prey became entangled in the
tree tops and dropped to the ground
where MIR. Smith dispatched it with
a hoe. A most remarkable discov-
cry was made after the eagle was
killed. No. 2 steel fox trap was
hanging to one Of his talons, and
from indications had been attached
to his eagleship for some time.

The tide of emigration has set in
westward with renewed force this
season. The American is ever on
the move. After having convinced
himself that the West, from Texas
to Dakota, inclusive, is land flow
ing with milk and honey, and hav-
ing, with the aid of the enterprising
land agent or the enthusiastic friend,
been enabled to decide what is the
choicest spot in all that region, the
next point is to select the cheap,
most comfortable and direct route to
this destination. The Cincinnati,
Washington & Baltimore railroad
offers such a route. 1t has two ex-
press trains daily, and runs palace
sleeping cars through to st. Louis
and connects in elegant and commo-
dious Union Depots with through
express trains which run into Union
Depots at st. Louis, Chicago, Indian
apolis and New Orleans, there con-
Meeting with the great through lines
to the Missouri river and the Pacific
coast. Parlor cars now run free
from st. Louis to the Missouri river,
and even into the heart of Kansas
without change. Evidently such a
route as is offered by the G., w. & b.
is preferable to more circuitous
one. 1t avoids frequent changes,
transfers and the delays incidental
to these; thus saves extra expense
for meals and lodging, to say nothing
of the saving in time and wear and
tear on the passengers patience.

There are at present 1850 Indi-
ans in the United States, and the
landed estate of these red skin arts
tocrats amounts to 10000 acres.
The law gives LOO acres to an In
dian and squaw, and if there are
four children, the family is endowed
with $500 acres. Our ancient Lo is
said to be still "a poor Indian" but
it would seem that he is represen
tative of that kind of poverty which
is distinction of aristocratic de-
scent-he must be "land poor" Why
a class of people, more resolutely
idle than any others in the world,
should be considered by Uncle Sam
the most prosperous of all to endow
with the biggest landed potentiali-
ties, has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned. The Sioux Reservation in
Dakota contains 100000 acres, or
an average of SIS acres to every In
dian. 1t is proposed that 100000
acres of this reservation shall be
opened up to white settlers at so
cents per acre, which, if any mans
holdings be strictly limited to a
quarter section, will be apparently a
most judicious break into the Indi-
an reserves. The Indians might
live on the remainder of 100000
with the 100000 annually appro-
priated to the Indian service if the
Government agents will let them. =
