Mr.. and Mrs. Nesbet, of Fairmont,
were guests of Mrs. Painter over
Sunday.
Miss Jennie Staatzman, of Keyser,
who has been visiting relatives and
friends here for few weeks left for
Kingwood to-day.
We are glad to welcome Miss Nina
Painter who has been attending
school at Salem, Va for the past two
years.
A number of our young people cell
ebrated Independence Day on Sat.
urday July Sd at the Cheat River.
The party consisted of Misses Jennie
Stemple, Annie Macnear, Annie Stem
pie, Carrie Wilt, Emma Ken, Mollie
Stemple, Matte Wotring, Nina Paint
or, and Florence Stemple Messrs
Oliver Ridenour, George Lantz, l.. j.
Stemple, j. III. Painter, l. g. Stemple,
Charlie Painter, G.. G.. Chichester, and
A. j. Lawton. The day was fine u
few clouds were in the sky, but Ivy
the time we reached our destination
all was clear and the weather was all
that could be desired.
The road that winds down the
mountain is delightful. The scenery
is both picturesque and grand. On
the left the mountain lowered above
in all its beauty and majesty, with
huge cliffs of rock almost hidden with
vines, while on the right in the valley
below the heavy foliage hid from view
the little tributary to the Cheat, which,
in the stiffness of the mountains,
could be heard murmuring on.
Arriving at the foot Of the noun
tain we found it a most charming
place, and should have regretted
much had we taken any other route.
Short y after the middle of the day
we enjoyed real picnic dinner to
which we all did justice. The day
was spent most pleasantly in boat
ing, strolling, feasting, and fishing
but Oliver says twas not a good day
for 6shing-at least the fish woulden't
bite. Ollie, the bate was too stale.
A. J. Lawton was the champion
rover Of the day,
The time 70 return came far too
soon, and leaving reluctantly each
one seemed to think, "Some day I'll
wander back again" and give Charlie
another chance TO pass around lem
onade. who could conceive Of a
drive more pleasant than that IS VIC
assembled the mountain ? 1t was
beautiful TO see the last says Of mel
low sunlight; and later the shadows
Of twilight came stealing gently
around US. Arriving at Aurora al
declared they had spent delightful
day and will ever look back upon il
as an oasis in their life, and we fee
to thank God in our hearts for tho
beautiful day with all its pleasures.

The Library Magazine.

One hardly appreciates the vast
amount of valuable and entertaining
matter which is contained in The
Library Magazine, if he sees it in
weekly form only; when its several
issues are brought together in month
ly parts it presents an array of val
liable and timely articles that is fair
ly astonishing. The part for June
contains score of important papers
selected from the best current liter
ature, British and American, besides
which there are the departments of
Books and tkeir Authors" and Lit
erary Notes and Comments" which
contain well-nigh two hundred no.
tees and notes. 1t is doubtful if
any other magazine, in Europe or
America, furnishes so much valuable
and interesting reading, even at five
times its cost, which is only $3.50

to him, thinking 1t more in his line
The reason assigned for relinguish-
ing the Sunday evening service is
not satisfactory to me. There
should be no difficulty in maintain
ing discipline. / should find none
under similar circumstances.
The impression is conveyed that
u young boy is here subjected to
influences which are sure to make
him worse instead of better. This
| deny. | doubt if q boy was ever
committed to this institution whose
surroundings were not bettered
thereby, and in large majority Of
cases reformation is the result The
boy alluded to as Zone of the best
boys in the SCHOOL, came here with
q bad record, was very troublesome
for while, was ultimately appren-
ticed to q trade in Honolulu, was
returned after few months as in
corrigible, and has been here ever
since. That boy is now unques-
tionably one of the best in the
school. OF the general results of
the past ten years l am not ashamed.
More than ninety percent of the
boys who have left during that
period are now living industrious
and respectable lives. They can be
found in almost every walk of life,
from the pulpit down to the taro
patch.
The following sentence near the
end of the paper seems to insinuate
that personal interest in the boys
has been wanting, and that no one
except religious teacher, perhaps
n clergyman, is likely to supply the
want: "But this would necessitate q
personal interest in the boys, and
considerable attention, which fear
only religious principle could actuate
and continue, under such disap-
pointmcnts. AS matter of fact,
the man who has had charge for the
past ten years has always mani
tested deep personal interest in
the boys: his time and attention
have been devoted wholly to them !:
for nine and half years he was not
absent one day. Name another
public or. private servant who can
say the same. He now feels pretty
well broken down by overwork, and
is delighted with the prospect of
being shortly relieved.

DISCRIMINATION.

The utterances of this mornings
AdrertiSer afford the strongest pos
sible proofs of the hollowness of the
pleas upon which the party hacks of
the Government hope to maintain
their grip upon the vitals of this
Kingdom. The public are, by this
time, fully prepared for any amount
of buncombe in the columns of that
sheet, especially when the cause of
the political and commercial mono
polists of this Kingdom needs to be
doomed. The Campaign Notes"
of this morning, which in plain
English would be more appropriately
headed Campaign Bosh," are
heavily charged with slanderous
criticism on the business transactions
of certain private firms in the city.
These transactions the Advertiser,
with that unscrupulous disregard of
truth and honesty for which it has
won most unenviable notoriety,
wilfully and knowingly misrepre-
sents, and employs to further the
despicable schemes of that political
abortion, yclept " the National
Party" AS specimens Of the cam
paign bosh emanating from that
paper, we quote:-
(D "The fact that the men who
are finding money to elect the Oppo-
sition ticket at this election are dis
eliminating against American ship
ping cannot be denied. BY so doing,
they are imperilling the treaty."
CD "They are chartering the
British ships to carry their sugar to
the Coast, and will compel the
United States Government by their
greed to give notice of the termina-
ton of the Reciprocity Treaty"
(3) "The Hesper, a fine American
vessel, leaves in day or two for the
Coast, in ballast, as does also the
Amelia, an American bark. The
British bark Victoria Cross, on the
other hand, has secured full cargo
at about half ruling rates"
(4) ''Thc British steamers Zea.
landia and Australia are furnished
with freight in opposition to the
American line of steamships of the
Oceanic Company"
How desperate must be the straits
to which journal that was once "s
great newspaper" is driven, wher
such rubbish as is contained in the
foregoing quotation has to be used
for political effect. With respect tc
quotation No. /, it is only necessary
to observe that the writer who pen
ned the words knew the assertion to
