her duty but she most singularly fails in it;
and the failure is truly deplorable.

married in C.lhoun county, sold
'possum hides to pay for his license
and stole a hound which lie sold to
pay the minister.
The moonshiners in the noun
tain counties are being arrested
right and left, and it is only a
question Of time when the State
will be rid of the whole gang.
A Fish Commissioner from the
interior Of the State surprised a
number Of fishermen, who fish with
seins, in the Ohio river the other
morning. He went down and seiz-
ed two seins, arrested the owners
and will push them for violating the
law. He also has the names of a
number of persons who have been
fishing with dip nets apd will. he
says prosecute them. He has just
come from Lake Erie, where he
made large number Of arrests.
1t is said thousands of acres OF
land in the vicinity of Marques,
Preston county, are being taken up
on options by capitalists in various
parts of the country. This is the
heart of the coal and iron district.
the whole surrounding country be-
ing underlaid with big coal vein
ten to fourteen feet in thickness.
The location is fine one for big
iron or steel manufacturing plant,
and indications that something of
the sort is in contemplation are not
wanting.
The residence of Mr.. Jacob
Howell, prominent farmer living
a short distance below Murraysville,
Jackson county, was entered by
burglars, last Saturday night about
midnight. The robbers chloroform-
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Howell, as they
lay asleep, and then searched for
booty; they found about $500 in
Mr., Howe's, pocket, but failed to
get hold of several hundred dollars
which Mrs. H. had in her clothes.
Entrance was made through the
parlor window. The drugged sleep
ers were aroused with difficulty at a
late hour next morning, with little
or no recollection of the occurrence.
The rest Of the family sleeping up
stairs had not been disturbed. The
thieves also entered Nelson Boner's
residence but failed to get any valua-
bles. AS we understand it Mr..
Howell had just received the bulk
of the money the preceding day.
This latter fact togther with other
circumstantial evidence seems to
indicate that the robbers knew of
him receiving the funds, and also
that they were well acquainted
with the premises.

STuMPTowN, March Pour farmers
are rapidly pushing their spring work
which consists OF clearing, building and
preparing fence, and preparing the
ground for their spring crops. From
present indications large crop of both
corn and oats will be planted. Some
oats were sowed week before last, while
many expect to SOW this week.
The grass is growing rapidly and with
few showers and sunshine it would af
ford fine pasturage, which would be hail
ed with gladness, as many Of our far.
mers have about exhausted their supply
of feed.
Wheat in some places promises a very
light crop, while there are some very
fine fields, yet every where it is short
for the time of year.
The demand for lambs promises to be
good this season, as most OF them are al
ready engaged.
There will be a few changes here
this spring. Samuel Flowers expects tc

Both wanted and needed: hand
some gas light on the campus, for
which the literary societies will nc
doubt contribute something.
The chapel hall continues to be
robbed of it's sanctity by the hideous
groans and yells Of a few young gen.
tlemen (?) who, no doubt, are taking
that means of making themselves
heard once, it being quite probable
that they will not be listened to
when wisdom is sought.
Quite complaint is heard from
several students concerning conflicts
and new orders against promotion.
1t seems that some have been CLASH
fled and allowed to continue their
work two terms and are then sudden
ly informed that no diploma nor
even a certificate of promotion will
he granted till other studies are
completed. Somebody or something
is wrong. 1t is surely provoking to
the student, but perhaps he is in
fault, as he usually is.
If loud and boisterous laughing,
to say nothing of smoking and other
offensive decorum, in the dining hall
be any indication of ill breeding
(and it is universally agreed so to
be), few young gentlemen would

We can make q summer resort out
Of this town more quickly than we
can make manufacturing town.
We can do this more easily and
with less capital and with better re-
suits than any other line of effort
that can be undertaken.
We can bring five dollars TO Nor
gantown through summer visitors
where we could not bring two in any
other project that is now open to
US.
Summer visitors would flock to us
had they any encouragement They
camp all around us during summer
without any invitation. They are
turned away every summer by lack
of suitable accommodations. While
we have an excellen. h.ctcI Tor tran
sient guests, its location does not
suit the summer boarder. He wants
grounds and trees. There are enough
who come and go away for want of
quarters to fill a good house. There
will probably be five hundred visi-
tors here during the coming sum-
mer who would stay and return again
If they could be properly accommo-
dated.
There is splendid business op-
portunity for man or company of
men, to open summer house in
Morgantown and advertise it extern
sively. 1t could be filled with sum
mer boarder5 through all the hot
season and with students through
the remainder of the year.
Why is not this opportunity used
to boom the town? A good summer
house could not be beat as an adver-
Using agency. 1t would bring men
of means here who would invest
their capital with us, as well as spend
it.
