West Virginia Notes.

The Wetzel Democrat wants to know
why the States penitentiary inmates are
not put at work on the public highways.
1t thinks that it would be practicable to
work them in that way, and truthfully
says that the State needs good roads.
incorporated companies under the
laws of West Virginia are required to
pay license or forfeit their charter.
The Auditor has just caused to be pub
lished list of those failing to pay the
license tax. The list numbers over five
hundred.
The Wheeling manufacturers will
soon be Independent of the puddlers.
They have about completed a Bessemer
plant, jointly owned by all the nailmak-
ing firms in the city, from which each
mill will draw pro rata its supply Of
ngots per day. Nails will then be
made of steel.
Mrs. George Workman, OF Greenbrier,
has been committed to Jail at Lewis
burg to await the result of gunshot
wounds inflicted by her upon young
man named Walker. Walker called at
Mrs. Workman's house Sunday and
knocked for admittance, when the wo-
man threw the door open and discharged
n load of Suckshot in Walkers face.
Two of the shot entered the brain
through the right eye. Walker will
die.
Last Friday, at Moundsville, marshal
OF the county Eugene johnson assaulted
Jas. Porter with club, inflicting seri-
Gus injuries. Rev. j. r. Thatcher, min
lister of the Holiness Church, and the
town sergeant went to arrest Johnson,
when the latter's wife resisted and as
sailed Thatcher with Ratchet. Thatch-
err took the woman in custody, when
Johnson came out of the house with a
shotgun and fired, killing the officer
almost instantly. Johnson escaped.
During the past two years all sorts of
stories have been published about the
engagement and marriage of James A.
Bavard, son of Secretary Bayard, and
Miss Deakin, of Fort Pendleton, this
State. 1t is safe to say that nineteen
twentieths Of all the statements have
married at Fort Pendleton on Wednes-
day OF last week, and Secretary Bayard
and his three daughters were present.
Owing to recent deaths in the groom's
family the wedding was very quiet
one.
The Woodsfield Spirit chronicles ter
rible calamity that occurred in Monroe
county, few days ago, during storm.
Thomas Stacey, highly respected citi-
zen of Brownsville, an eX-Soldier, and
his son Willie, aged about nine years,
took shelter from the storm under a
large tree. They had only been under
short time, when it was struck by
lightning, killing Mr.. Stacey. and his
son instantly. Another son, Otto, was
but short distance away, and was
Knocked down and stunned, but recOv-
cred in short time sufficient to give
the alarm, which brought number to
the scene in a few minutes. The cloth
ing of both was badly torn. but upon
examination no marks were found on
the bodies except small scratch on Mr..
Stacy's head. and the hair and whskers
somewhat burned. Mr.. Stacey leaves a
wife and seven children.

Church Change.-The following

card explains itself:
"Messrs. Editors-The church change
hich you published in your last week S
issue us probable, went into effect on
the previous Sunday, June l3, 1856, at
which time closed my labors at Boons-
boro and announced that hereafter they
would be served by Rev. w. NJ. Osborne
of Mddletown, Md.
"Permit me to say, that the reason
for the change was not dissatisfaction,
neither on the part of the Methodists of
Boonsboro, not on the part of the pastor
at Shepherdstown, but for the following
reasons: First, the facilities for reach
ing the Pastor at Middletown were so
much letter than those for Shepherds
town that it was desired OH that account
Second, Sharpsburg wanted the time |
gave to Boonsboro and contracted to
pay for it if they could get it. 1t was
thought best to give it to them and Bish-
op Nlnde approved it.

Public Notice.

The Farmers Stock and Agricultural
Society of Moler's Cross Roads held a
meeting in the grove on the 18th day Of
June, 1886. As the officers for this
year had been elected last September,
the question of our third annual exhibit
ton was presented to the Society.
There were various improvements and
additions to our previous exhibitions
suggested and discussed by members.
Although our exhibitions have been
beneficial and interesting to all who at
tended them, yet by experience we have
learned, and propose making use of our
knowledge for the advantage Of both eX-
hibitor and visitor.
Money was raised TO be expended in
purchasing lumber for building pur-
poses, the lumber to be on the grounds
and buildings erected by the first of
August. There will be more buildings
and larger ones than we have had pre-
viously, which will add both to the ad-
vantage of the exhibitor and gratifica-
ton Of the observer.
We would say TO those who wish to
place things on exhibition that they
can do so free of charge, and we would
ask them to begin now and make prep
arations for this fall.
There will be another meeting OF the
Society on the 3rd of July, in the even
ing at 6 o'clock, in the grove. We
would like all who can possibly do so to
attend, as there will be important bust
ness to see after.

Canal MeetinG.-Thc

Canal Meeiing.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says: The president and directors OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal met at
the Arlington Hotel, Washington, on
Tuesday. A considerable amount OF
routine business was transacted The
president submitted statement that
was not less surprising than graft
fying exhibiting, the expenditures dur
ing the late unprecedented freshets.
The expenditures of the canal company
for the year 1882, from January to the
first Of June, amounted to $50, 4a9. The
expenses for 1888, for the same number
of months, WAS s9J, 520 For 1891, for
the same number of months, it was SSH
09I. I'm 1885 the present administration
assumed charge OF the canal. and re-
duced the expenses for the same months
to S62, 100. This year, including all the
expenses incident TO the late floods,
which included repeated breaks, the
heaviest ever known on the canal,
miles of towpathing completely washed
away, the purchase of all kinds of ma
terials and the employment of over
eight hundred extra hands, the eXpen-
ses amounted to only $4,000. The ex-
pemses of the late floods were but $780,
600, far below what was anticipated.
The present administration feel that it
has faithfully carried out the pledges
made to the people of Maryland on as
Stunning charge of the canal. 1t has
faithfully endeavored to conduct its ia
fairs on strictly business principles
and has made most satisfactory show
ing in spite Of the many disasters it had
to contend with. The present year will
demonstrate whether the. canal can be
accepted as Il future competitor in the
coal-carrying trade Of Maryland.

When 10 Eat Fruit.-The fruit

When to Fat Frult.-lDe lrult
season is upon las, and those who are
fond of small fruits, such rs berries of
different kinds, cherries, &C., can lux
uriate upon them. One of our eX-
changes, speaking on the subject of
fruit.eating, says: Fruits, to do their
best work, should be eaten on an empty
stomach, or simply with brcad-never
with vegetables. In the morning, be-
fore the fast of the night has been
broken, they are not only exceedingly
refreshing, but they serve AS natural
stimulant to the digestive organs. And
to produce their fullest, richest effect,
they should be ripe; sound, and in ev-
cry way of good quality moreover they
should be eaten raw. What is better
than a bunch Of luscious grapes or
plate of berries or cherries on summer
morning, The first thing on sitting down
to breakfast? Or fine ripe apple, rich
and juicy, eaten in the same way? In
our climate apples should constitute not
the finishing but the beginning of the
meal, particularly the breakfast, for at
least four months of the year; the fruit,
raw or cooked, should make Il part of
the morning and evening meal, (pro-
vided suppers are eaten) during the en-
tire year

after eating. For both this acidity and swell
ling Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a much
better remedy than alkaline salts, like harris

of the Bitters after or before dinner, will be
found to act as reliable carminative or pre-
yentiye. This fine specific for dyspepsia, both
in its acute and chronic form, also prevents
and cures malarial fever, constipation, liver
kidney troubles, nervousness and
debility. Persons who observe in themselves
a decline of vigor should use this fine tonic
without delay.

Great Falls Fishway.-Messrs.

McComas, of Maryland; Barbour, of
Virgiaia, and Wilson, of West Virginia,
called on the Secretary Of War, last
week, to urge him to use the fishways
at Great Falls. They ask to have COM
pleted the section which was damaged
by the freshet. They claim thar this
section will be test; for if the fish can
pass by this, it would be good thing to
have the fishways all along the river,
for the benefit ofthe people on its banks.
They also claim that the failure has been
due to the bad engineering, and not to
the plan.
Both the Secretary of War and Major
Lydecker, who has charge of the WASH
ington aqueduct, agreed that the work
on the fishway should be completed.
Instructions have therefore been given
10 the effect that the sixth section Of the
tishway and the shaft one-third of the
way up the falls shall be pushed forward
to completion. Nj. McComas says if
the Mcdonald fishway system proves to
be a success in carrying shad and other
fish so far up the falls, there will be no
difficulty in getting money enough to
complete the work at Great Falls.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
From this date we will
sell all our Straw
Hats
AT COST

Our object in doing this is to close
out all and make room for new goods.
We do not like to carry anything
over from one. season TO another.
This is our plan: to always keep q
new and fresh stock of goods.
Our stock of last seasons Shoes is
getting low. Many of our friends
have awaited themselves of the oppor-
tunity. These Shoes are just as good
as new, but they don't look nice and
fresh like new goods, so they are on
the market. The longer they stay
with us the more they depreciate in
our estimation, consequently they
must go-cost or no cost. We won't
keep them.
