Not From KIngwood.

"On Tuesday night last Mrs. Ayers,
living at Keyser, discovered man
crawling through the transom over
the front door, She did not recognize
him. and thinking his style of entry
somewhat unceremonious, fred three
shots at him from her revolver. She
Did not hit him, however, and he got
in, fastened himself in the kitchen,
and slept on the table till morning.
He was delegate from Kingwood.
and had been indulging little too
freely in the flowing bowl. lie was
found in the morning to be friend
of the family he had SO unceremously
called upon"
The above item appeared in Mon
days Register. The person referred
to as delegate frow Kingwood, is
now, and has been citizen of Elk
Garden, Mineral County, for three or
four years; but he formerly lived in
Kingwood. Kingwood's delegation
to Keyser kept as straight as ram
rods, and We challenge any proof to
the contrary.

EIGHTY Cur, w, VA, Aug. 31,lS86.
To the Editor Of The ArgtS:
l rise for the purpose of seconding
the motion to nominate julius X.
Monroe for County Surveyor. He is
a young man thoroughly educated and
eminently equipped for the duties of
the office. He has acquired this anil
ity by dilligent study and hard work 3,
and it is proper and fit that the peo-
pie take notice of and encourage
young men who earnestly
prepare themselves for the
active duties of life-for the
worlds work-instead of dawdling
away their time with the latter day
dndes. And by the way, Terra Alta
has one of these earnest, honest,
capable young man in the person Of
Farley DeBerry, and we doubt if the
people of this county can do better
than to send him TO the Legislature
this fall. What say you, gentlemen ?
Do you vote for Monroe and De.
Berry DEMOCRAT.

The lecture delivered in the Insti-
tute Hall last Friday night by Mr.. S.
T. Wiley, was no disappointment to
those who attended, being very in.
teresting historical sketch Of the
MonOngahela Valley. The large at.
tendance and strict attention of the
teachers as well as the citizens Ger.
tainly speaks well for Mr.. Wiley's
merits as lecturer. We understand
DIR. Wiley expects to lecture at other
places; and those interested in our
home hist DRY, should not fail to at.
tend these lectures.
The Tucker County Pioneer. in
speaking of the lecture at St, George,
says:
"The closing exercises of our In.
stitute, Friday night, was lecture
by Mr.. Samuel T. Wiley, of Preston
County. His subject was THE Mon
ongahela Valley" This was enough
TO excite an interest in our people, and
the courthouse was filed TO its ut.
most capacity, and even part of the
standing room was occupied.
Mr.. Wiley did not arrive until al
most time to commence his lecture,
having come from Rowlesburg that
afternoon. His being the author Of
the History Of Preston and Of Mon
ongalia Counties as well as having
written on various subjects connect.
ed with the Valley Of Monongahela
for the Harpers and Appletons Of
New York, for the Lippincotts Of
Philadelphia and the Youths Conn
panion, Of Boston, render him per.
haps as well acquainted with the Val.
ley as any man living or dead
If any person had been doubtful
of his thorough knowledge Of his sub
jet, few minutes listening to the
lecture would have suficed TO have
dispelled their doubts, lie began
with the general statement that the
great kingdom and power and civili-
cations of the world have followed
the valleys Of the rivers, In a point
Of oratory, this was the finest part Of
the lecture. lie soon left the valleys
of the world in general and devoted
himself to the Monongabela in par.
ticular. Space forbids our following
him through his interesting lecture Of
an hour, We have never seen an
audience in st. George pay closer and
more respectful attention.

We direct attention to the pro
fessioaal card of Julius X. Monroe
which appears in this issue of The
ARGUS. We can recommend him as
competent and reliable.
"A young colored man of Charles
ton is making money by giving most
remarkable musical performances.
He holds his mouth open, taps his
skull with beer msllet, and thus
plays tunes in tones not unlike those
ofthe xylophone. He seems not only
to have wooden head but an empty
one also.
While Alex. Wilson. of Zanes
vile, Ohio, was digging seng on Big
Elk river, Pocahontas county, this
State, his dog which he took with MIN
for company. was attacked by huge
bear. Mr.. Wilson without hesitation,
flew TO the rescue of his dog. On
arriving, he discovered large bear
hugging his faithful dog in close en-
brace. Mr.. Wilson at once advanced
and delt fatal blow which sent the
bit of his seng hoe through the bears
head. But alas it was too late to
save his noble canine companion. He
laid his remains to rest in neat lit
tie grave, decorated with flowers of
the richest hue. On gathering up his
scattered seng, preparatory to seeking
place of refuge for the night, he
discovered three other half grown
bears, which Immediately showed him
fight. But, being fully possessed
with presence OF mind, notwithstand-
ing his noble dog was gone, and no
human hand was near, he again re-
sorted to his old weapon of war (his
seng hoe,) which had so faithfully
sesved him on the former occasion, he
soon succeeded in laying mis- enemies
at his feet.

The Earth shook.

On Tuesday night at Z minutes be.
fore 10 o'clock severe shock, caus-
ed by an earthquake, was felt in
Kingwood and vicinity. Our Office
was so shaken that the windows rat
tied and the table and lamp were
seen to move. At Mr.. Dan Jack.
sons house on Main Street, the dish.
es became noisy in the cupboard.
At Mr.. Heerman's, on the hill west
of town, the shock was SO plainly
felt that Mr.. Heermans and his wife
got up to see what was the matter.
The windows were shaking and a
large mirror was having consider
able motion. The inmates of the
poor house, about half-mile west of
town, felt the shock plainly and prob
ably thought the next thing would be
the sound ofGabriers trumpet. The
shock was perceptible at Terra Alta,
and the people of Clarksburg are re.
ported TO have been generally aroused
and alarmed.

BY i'll health he was constrained three
years ago to retire from a work which
had destinations for him and for
which he had capacity of no mean

when occasion demanded it, but his
kindly nature and rich vein of humor
enabled him to give pleasant and
cheerful reading to the patrons of

durable disease for an immortality of
peace and rest with the glorified in

Col. Cloud addressed good sized au-
dience at the court house Saturday night
on the issues Of the day from the stand
point of the republican party. The col
onel's manner of putting facts before an
audience is clear and convincing. In.
dulging In few flowers OF retorlc, his Ian
gunge is eloquent in its simplincIty, and
carries with 1t an air of conviction hard
10 resist. He spoke Of the prosperity Of
the country under a republican adminiF-
tration, OF the grand work that had been
achieved In the past by that party. Then
IN q few words he alluded TO
the hard times. stagnation In labor and
trade, the strikes and failures that have
prevailed during the last five wears OF the
democratic administration. Drawing
from these facts q forecast of the country's
future under the same influence. Speak
ing Of the ticket, he paid high tribute Of
praise to Gov. Martin and Tom Ryan, not
forgetting to mention our excellent county
ticket. His audience manifested the
greatest interest IN his remarks and the
frequent bursts OF applause that CREATED
the lllustr alton OF some good point, testi-
ned their appreciation Of the Eorator'l
ability.
