From the Independent: Ed. Ring
received bad fall on the steps of his
drug store last Saturday, badly bruis-
ing his face.
The New Years dance at the Jarvis
house was exceedingly we'll patronized,
there being 49 numbers sold
r. 7. Doud spent few days in the
woods last week looking over the work
of his men. He appeared satisfied
DR.. Wood amputated a toe for a
man from McKerchers camp last Sat-
urday. Lots of accidents in the woods
this winter.
Miss Laura Reeves spent Sunday at
the johnson house, on her way to the
Tarbox district to resume her school
labors.
Whereas, 10 the poor indian, Jeffer-
son Davis, did feloniously take, steal
and carry away 500 belonging to Mr.
d. Richardson of the town Of Marsh
field, therefore said j. d. now
languishes in the County jail, from
whence he will probably be conveyed
hence to Waupun to receive instruc-
ton in some one of the fine arts taught
at that institution We wish him a
Happy New Year. Later Judge
Webb made him a New Years present
of one year at Waupun.
We understand Ed. Keenan, at
Dexterville, has closed out his temper
ance business to James Farley. Thus
the good Jack Warburton work goes
on, ard new members are won to the
cause every day, our most influential
citizens taking the lead.
The Mother Hubbard masquerade
at the Jarvis House was a very
brilliant affair; many fine costumes
were out. In general everything was
orderly with only one breach of the
peace. The sapper-well it was
just immense, and Mrs. Jarvis for
once excelled her already famous
cookery. A number from the Rapids
were present.

West Virginia Notes.

In Kanawha county the levy for coun-
ty purposes for 1886 has been fixed at
10 cents for each 800, as against IS
cents last year. This will make the
gross revenue for the county nearly
fifty thousand dollars. Levies for dis
trict road purposes, 20 cents on 500,
except Union district, which is 10 cents,
and Elk, which is 30 cents. Independent
OF these levies, each adult male citizen
of the several district will be taxed 81
for road purposes.
A correspondent OF the Warrenton
virginian describes curious spring
eleven miles from Moorefleld, which
flows from July to August 81, and at
no other time, every year. The flow OF
water only lasts fifteen minutes at a
time, when it recedes with a rushing
noise back under the hill and remains
dry fifteen minutes, when the waters
will again rush out in stream suffici-
emily large to turn an ordinary mill
wheel. The water comes rushing under
the ground like distant wind-storm.
As the Pittsburg express on the Bal
timorc and Ohio Railroad was nearing
Green Spring run one day last week the
engine and one or two cars became sep
aratcd from the balance of the train.
The fact was soon discovered, but when
the front part was run back il was for
some reason done with such force as to
mash the platforms Of two Of the cars.
Two tramps, who were riding between
two of the express cars, were crushed,
one being instantly killed, and the
other dying in few moments. Their
names were not discovered. The bodies
were inferred at Cumberland.
1t is generally understood that Mr.. C..
2. Huntington will this season construct
a railway along the south side Of the
New River from the NewRiver bridge,
near Hawks Nest Station, up to near
New River Falls, where bridge VIII
be built across the main line. This road,
some forty miles long, will, although
on opposite sides Of New River, give the
Chesapeake and Ohio 4 double track
through the New River coal field, and
at the same time more than double the
accessible area Of that field for this rail-
way, because the beds Of coal on the
south side of that river are thicker than
they are on the north or present railway
side of that river. This is very impor-
tant move, one that wheo consummated
will enable this railway to easily move
more than double its present output OF
this unexcelleds New River eoking and
steam coal.

A Mystery.

How the human system ever RECEIVERS from
the bad effects of the nauseous medicines
often literally poured into IL for the suppose
tive relief Of dyspepsia, liver complaint, con-
stipation, rheumatism and other ailments. Is
a mystery. The mischief done by bad medi-
cine is scarcely less than that caused by dis
ease. II they who are weak, bilious, dyspep-
tic, constipated or rhematic, would oftener
be guided by the experience OF invalids who
have thoroughly tested Hostetter's stomach
Bitters. they would in every instance obtain
the speediest aid derivable from rational
medication. This medicine Is searching
and at the same time thoroughly safe rem
sessing in consequence OF It's basis OF pure
spirits, properties as u medicinal stimulant
not TO be found in the fiery local bitters and
stimulants often resorted TO by the debil!ta-
ted. dyspeptic and languid.

4 Cute Bug.-We have not been
able to give our readers any original
snake stories of great interest so far
this year, but we now have true tale
to tell of a potato bug. A few days
ago Mr.. j. w. b. Frazier saw potato
bug crawling slowly up the sloping
cellar-door at his house, and when the
Dug reached the top it gathered its feet
under it, let 60 its hold, and rolled
down the incline to the bottom. 1t
picked itself up, crawled up the door
again, and went through the same OPP
Grafton. For three hours that bug
crawled up the cellar door and rolled
down again, and it was plain to all
who watched him that he was enjoy
ing the sport. His eyes sparkled with
pleasure and his teeth shone white as
broad grin spread over his countenance.
This was witnessed by Mr.. Frazier and
a number OF his neighbors, and we re-
fer to them as proof.

The Canal.-A meeting of the
board of directors of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company was held last Fri
day in Baltimore. Hon. Henry e..
Davis was before the board and made
an explanation of the proposed route for
the Cumberland and Piedmont railroad
over the property of the canal company.
The canal directors were of the opinion
that the railroad ought to acquire such
rights of way as it might need by con-
demnation. The canal managers say
that in view of The low freights made by
the railroads it is almost impossible to
compete with them. The coal compa-
MES are doing bu: little to keep it from
ending its days by a want of sufficient
trade. The canal company will be
obliged to make further sale Of bonds
in order to meet heavy expenditures.
The obligations for the repairs of Dam
No. 6 will be met, and the indebtedness
for 1886 will soon be settled.
The July interest OIL the repair bonds
of 1873 has not been paid. The present
administration have determined OH the
policy of providing for the payment of
the workingmen in preference to the
bondholders, and until the Indebtedness
to the laborers is discharged there will
be no payment to the bondholders.
