Letter from virginia.

HINTON, W. Va, May 18th, 1885,
Following hard upon the Lewisburg
Court came our own Summers Circuit
Court, which has just closed. Oar
Judge passed sentence upon one bur-
glaf, on one who attempted to assasi-
nate our best constable, James IL.
Hobbs, and on twv robbers. He also
dispatched q large Humber Of common
law causes and quite o number of
chancery suits. We have but one
Judge and he is also Chancellor.
For the first time in the history of
Hinton we had visit from an Italian
organ grinder with a monkey. The
monkey drew large crowd and amused
the people by making q careful search
Of the head of our genial Circuit Court
Clerk, but finding nothing in 1t, he ex-
plored that of one of our Board of Edu-
cation, producing shouts Of Laughter by
his explorations, accompanied by Rri-
maces and fun provoking contortions
of oountenances.
On the same day Scotchman with
bagpipes enlIvened the air with his
music, but he met with a rough recep-
ton while in front of the store of our
leading druggist, for, although said
drug man bears the name of Bruce, he
Engaged boys and few young men
with horns, trumpets and bolls to drown
the music OF the pipes, and succeeded
in 80 doing, causing the jolly piper to
leave In disgust.
Changing from the lud.crous to the
serious, let me say: We have had an
evangelist by the name OF Howard here
for two weeks, holding forth TO crowded
houses, and the result is large number
have been CO.. vertsd t. among whom may
be numbered forsnef hard drinkers. .
few sporting men and not . few who
were deemed ipcorrigible.
As consequence am credibly in
formed that the saloon keepers and
drinking houses, are doing little or
nothing, and are becoming alarmed.
We are looking for grander results
yet from this revival Of religion, and
hope the good work will 20 on until not
place is found where Intoxicating
drinks are sold In Hinton.
The season has been 30 rainy, we have
failed to plant any corn yet. Our
wheat looks well and is heading out
finely. Our apple crop will be good,
but our peaches have been killed in the
bud. w. B. W.

BIOIlntvI1Ies

There was not great deal OF har-
mony in the Republican convention
here last Monday. The Butler men
were in big majority, but the OPP
position had some good leaders and
were determined. S. r. Ferguson
called the convention to order and
nominated Peter Yokely for perma-
nant Chairman. A Butler man at
once nominoted DIR. Miller for the
position. The temporary chairman
ruled that the votes must be taken by
districts. The Bntler men appealed
from his ruling but the Chairman
said there could be no appeal until
a permanent Chairman was elected.
Thereupon the Butler men elected a
Chairman and Secretary of their own
and proceeded to select delegates.
The Chairman protein declared Peter
Yokely elected permanent Chairman
the anti Butler men then selected
their delegates. Neither party left
the Court room and both conventions
were held at the same time. The
main question at Greeneville anc
Jonesboro to-day will be on seating {
delegation from Sullivan county.

Only Half Alive.

There are hosts of men and women who, to
coin phraze, are only half alive. That is to
say, they have seldom if ever any appetite, are
nervous, weak, fidgetty and troubled by num-
berless small pains and acees. In the presence
OF vigorous exuberant vitality they seem more
pigmies. Such persons are usually fond of dos
ing themselves, swallowing in the course of the
shop of averagr dimensions. This OF course de-
feats instead of furthering the end in view, viz.
the recovery of health and vigor. Were they
to seek it from an unfailing source OF vitality
would be their case. Then yigor would return
to their debilitated frames, the glow of health
to their wan cheeks their trembling uncertain
steps would grow firm and elastic, appetite
that grandest of all sauces, would give a relish
for the daily food, were it ever so coarse, and
day.
