BOHEMIAN GIRL
Comment on a Few Matters
and Things.

Birds of feather flock together"
evil communications corrupt good
manners etc. etc, dd infnitam. 1t
will be observed that these maxims
are not exactly original, but they
answer my purpose very well. Your
most intimate friends have almost as
much to do with your reputation as
you have yourself. Somebody has
said, ''Tell me what kind of compan-
ions you like and will tell you what
kind of man or woman you are"
They say that we girls are watched
very closely. / guess it's because
we're worth watching and the men
are not. Suppose two girls become
intimate friends. They are always
seen together. They go to church
together. They walk together
They are inseperable. AS general
thing whatever is thought and said
of one of them is thought and said
of the other. It's the same way ex-
actly with boys and young men, and
old men, too, for that matter. l
don't want to be called female SER
monizer, but l believe that mothers
should be as careful concerning what
girls their daughters associate with
as what boys, Knight point out few
cases in point right here in Morgan
town, but I'll let you do that your
self.
/ have gathered up a few more
propositions
1st. The fact that we like to laugh
and wear stylish dresses is no sign
that we're all ''giddy creatures.
End. The young man who
will go to the entertainment in
Academy Hall next SATURDAY night
and hollow and boot and make a
boisterous noise is no gentleman,
and everybody but himself will think
so.
3rd. Young men who take ladies
to church, free lectures ETC.. and
wont take them to entertainments
that cost something are-well, we all
have our opinion of them.
4th. Every woman and girl in
Morgantown is in favor of that
"Town Hail.
9Th. Young men who go to Mite
societies where they are not acquaint
ed with the hostesses, and are not
accompanied by somebody who is
acquainted, to introduce them, are
painfully fresh and green" Right
here / may as well say that this is a
custom with a number of students
and others. 1t is worse than verdant
it is cheeky.
9Th. Circuses may not be exactly
the best place for girls to go to, but
we enjoy them as much as anybody.
18th. Jealous feelings long enter
tanned make one look old and sour.
Dear Sisters, beware of jealousy
Sth. Drives to Cheat View and
other mountain resorts are very en-
joyable in the springtime. This
is not to be considered as a hint.

BEHIND THE BARs-There are at
present five persons confined in our
county Jail. Four of them are affiict-
ed with insanity to greater or less
degree and one of them is in for a
felony. They are:
Hannah Fowler, of Union district;
a lunatic who has been confined
here all winter. She would have
been at Weston long ago if there
had been any room for her in the
Asylum.
John Dixon, of Battelle district,
also a lunatic, has been behind the
bars since the 25th of last November.
His case is mild one, but he will
be sent to Weston as soon as the
quarters there are enlarged.
Charley Swisher, of Grant dis
trict, has been in here as a lunatic
about month The necessary
papers have been made out and he
has been accepted by the Asylum
authorities, but he will likely have
to remain here for some time for the
same old reason.
John Durr, of Morgantown, CON
fined for felony.
Will Blue, colored, of Morgan
town, confined for assaulting and
beating his sisters and mother. He
is supposed to be somewhat derang-
ed mentally, but it has not yet been
decided to send him to Weston.
Right here it is perhaps well
enough to say that it is evident to
everybody that additional provisions
for the States insane will have to
be made and made soon. County
jails are not intended to take the
place of an insane asylum.

pheus Frum has been unwell for the

Mrs. Lieut.. Brown (nee Kate
Davis whose wedding in January
was fully noted in the New DOMINION
at the time, had very singular and
alarming experience a short time
ago. She was returning at mid
night, with her husband and others,
from ball given on board a United
States man of war at Fortress Mon
roe in honor of some officers of foreign
ships then lying there, and stepped
off the boat, to land into the water
instead of on the dock and went
under twice before she was rescued.
She had on ball dress with long
train and long ulster over it, and
was holding the end of her train, an
ostrich feather fan and a cut glass
smelling bottle in her hands when
she fell into the water, and was still
grasping all of these when finally
caught by the foot and landed.
1t was thought that the ulster acted
as species of buoy and was instru-
mental in her rescue. She was of
course, unconscious when taken out
of the water, but was soon resuscita-
ted and did not even take cold from
her icy bath. Her sister, Mrs. Ell
kins, has been dangerously i'll for
three months.

Prohibitionists Beaten at Warrington

MANNINGToN, w. VA, April g.
The regular annual election for town
officers was held here yesterday,
which resulted in the defeat of the
Anti-Liquor ticket by the Republi-
cans, who had straight ticket in
the field. Little or no work was
done by the friends of the anti-liquor
ticket, while prominent Republicans
in town, assisted by some of the less
er lights, worked hard in the rain
from daylight till dark. One hun
dred and sixteen votes were polled,
of which the Republicans cast about
sixty and the Prohibitionists about
fifty-six.

ANOTHER VOICE.

To the Editor Of the New DOMINION
The report of the schools, given
by our worthy County Superintend-
ent, was about as limited as were his
visits at the respective schools; and
it is no doubt quite qualification
to the county to know that tco, of
it's one hundred and four teachers,
are deserving of mention. And it
must, indeed, be qualification to
the two gentlemen to learn that they
stand at the head of the list as the
simon pure, best teachers of Monon-
gala county. Our work, unfortu-
nately, was not so arranged that we
could display the substance of it in
fifteen or twenty minutes, especially
as the branches which we had
thought would be the test and bear
the evidence Of our teaching quail
ties, were not given any considera-
ton. We would suggest that one of
those successful teachers be engaged
as instructor of our institute this
year.

The UNFORTUNATE ENDING. OF THE
Y. M. c. A. LEeTURE.-Last Thurs
day night, a few minutes after Prof.
P. b. Reynolds began his lecture in
the M. E. church, under the auspices
of the Y. M. c. A., he was taken
with very severe attack of vertigo,
and had to be helped to seat. For
tunately DR.. Brock was in the audi
ence, and administered the necessary
remedies. Prof. Reynolds was laid
down in the pulpit, hot blankets, &c,
were applied, and after an hour and
half of careful attention he was
able to be carried down stairs and
taken home in a carriage. The next
day he was much better and on Sat
urday he was able to be out.
The audience was considerably
alarmed, though the lecturer was
very calm and collected when he
felt the attack coming. This was,
we believe, the third attack of the
kind which Prof. Reynolds has had,
but the other two were several years
ago. He has been working very
hard during the winter, attending to
his duties as Professor of English in
the University and occasionally lee
turing and preaching, and has very
much exhausted his strength. His
audience Thursday night was a large
and appreciative one, and everybody
regrets the sad and unfortunate &C.
currence, but the whole town was
glad to hear that the attack was no
more serious than it was and lasted
no longer than it did.

RosEDALE, April 12.-Farmers in
this vicinity will plant larger crops

We are glad to hear that Josiah
Carlow is improving rapidly. He

Aaron G. Carlow is preparing to
build new house. John Coda will
do the stone work; also, Jesse EVERY
will build a house on part of the
Merrill farm, which he recently pur-
chased of his brother Clark.
Allan EVERY has moved into Thos.

Mrs. Wilkerson to E. Bright's.
Isaac Vanvoorhis is in Chicago
purchasing cattle. He will return in

Messrs. Baker, Thompson & Co.
will bore well for L. N. John in
the near future. There is no doubt
that drilled wells are superior to
dug ones.
The people generally are healthy
in this section, with few excep-
lions.
Wheat and grass look well.
We do not think the late freeze
did any damage to the fruit.
Our new miller, Mr.. Gibson, has
plenty of water at present to run his
mill.
Simeon Everley, of Bowlby's Mill,

school at Fl. Martin. We don't
suppose he will succeed, as there are
a number of dead heads in that vi
entity (as in every other) who are
afraid to spend money on their chill
dren's education. Such men should
be sent to Burmah. It seems that

"Costly? Well, yes. When it

Prof A. L. Wade is, perhaps, bet
ter acquainted with the public
schools and public school work of
West Virginia than any other man
in the State. The New DOMINION
asked him about the present condi-
tion of the schools. He said:
81 never knew them to be doing
more satisfactory work than at pres
ent. have not been in the southern
part of the State this year, but my
work has extended from Harper's
Ferry to the Western Pan Handle,
and everywhere l have found the
schools in a healthy condition"
Don't you think it's a disgrace to
Monongalia county to have only four
months of school in the country
districtsH"
Yes, | do. Jefferson, Berkeley and
several other counties have eight and
nine months, and Monongalia should
not allow herself to be beaten in this
way
''Do the counties named complain
of their taxes anymore than we do?
Not bit, not bit If Monon-
gala were to try an eight-month
term it would never feel the difference
in taxation, and would never go back
to four months
sYou have recently been among
the teachers of New York State,
we believe; how do West Virginia
teachers compare with them?''
"Well, the teachers of New York
are generally older and more exper-
fenced than ours and of wider culture
and attainment. They have some
thing that West Virginia teachers
should have-an organized reading
circle"

1t is the popular verdict that, as
usual thing, long sermons, like long
speeches and big books, are burden
to be borne patiently if possible,
if not, impatiently. Of course there
are many exceptions, but it is the
general opinion that the ordinary
Sunday morning or Sunday evening
sermon should not occupy more than
20 OF rs minutes.
