SQUIRE JOHN ALExASDEK


ORiors IT,, Feb. I've have been
visiting friends here for some. time past,
and the NEW DOMINION has been well
come visitor to us while here. We hare
been reading it and the Wheeling Reg
lister, consequently we get the cream OF
the news from West Virginia, our for
mer home.
We have met quite a number of former
West virginians here. who have treated
us with the utmost kindness. They seem
TO be doing well and seem to be well sat
ished
This is undoubtsd,v very fine farm
ing country. They had very fine crops
here last season, especially corn and
hay. Corn is said to average from 30 to
100 bushels per acre. The oats crop was
not 10 good, Corn is selling at % cents
per bushel oats &c cts hay "a to s dol
lars per ton baled, and TO Sc loose.
Hogs are selling at Al to Az cents cat
tie, good fat cattle, 5 to So cents per
pound.
We have had very mild open winter
heres-very little cold weather. The
mercury has tot been below zero moro
than three or four times this winter I;
generally from 10 to 80 above, and some
times higher. We have been here two
months and in that time there has been
only two rainfalls, and they were light,
and each followed with light snow
The deepest snow OF the season has not
been more than three inches. The roads,
with the exception of a few days just
after the rains, have been delightful ;
dry, smooth, and part OF the time dusty.
We have had very pleasant visit
here and enjoyed il very much. The
people all seem to he very friendly and
social.
Clark Wade and wife arrived here on
last Thursday morning, January 3lst
We expect to go to Creston, Iowa, in q
few days. JoHN ALEXANDER.

The Right Man in the Right Place.

Our enterprising and efficient
Postmaster has now secured us two
mails per day each way. Both the
morning and evening trains will
take mail out and bring mail in, SO
that we now have every mail facility
the most exacting could ask.
Mr.. Nye has done more than any
one would have ventured to predict
toward bulldog up and improving
our local post Office in the short
time that he has been in charge.
He has put the office in a central
place, in good building, with con-
veniences never equaled in this place,
and rarely excelled in any place of
this size; he has systematized the
business to such an extent that
there is no confusion, no mistakes,
and nobody would ever have a sus-
picion of any Irregularities while he
has control. Moreover his manage
ment has so far increased the reve-
nues of the office that the depart
ment has made a substantial &C.
acknowledgement by increasing his
salary.
1t is great blessing to town to
have such postmaster as Mr.. Nye,
and it is one Of the defects of our
political system that good officer
must give away to either the parti-
san greed or prejudice of the domi-
nant faction.

Another Literary Treat.

Hon. Samuel Phelps leland, of
Chicago, delivered the third lecture
of the Eureka course at the Presby-
terrain church Thursday evening, to
one Of the largest and most attentive
as well as intelligent audiences ever
assembled in our town. The peculiar
wording of his subject led all to CON
clude that his production would be
severely scientific, and possibly prosy,
a conclusion which kept not few
away. What a mistakel Mr.. Le-
land is large man, of pleasing adj
dress, and makes a handsome and
dignified appearance on the stage.
Like all cautious speakers, he open
ed his subject in calm and unas-
suming manner, curtosa .teticttas
which, with the reserve force the
speaker proved himself to possess, is
destined to take an Audience by hap
Ply surprise. Such it was with him.
For hours and II minutes he held
his large audience in wrapt and
pleasing attention by the simplicity
of his style in making the most alb
struse scientific points. the pleas
ing character of his diction, his clear
and distinct articulation, and the
logical illustrative plain manner in
which he presented his entire pro-
duction. His illustrations were so
plain that all could readily follow
him. 1t was pronounced success,
and entitled the speaker to the graf
itude and admiration of our people,
as one of the foremost lecturers of
the day, in the broadcast sense of this
term. He leaves us with our EARNEST
wishes that we may hear him again,
and that he may continue to meet
with that unbounded success which
deserevdly attends him in his we'll
chosen field of labor.

IT being reported that Col. E. NJ
Hukill, of Mt Morris, had made an
assignment, we discovered on exam
nation, that the report is false. We
are reliably informed that he has
not been at all financially embarras-
ed. The rumor was probably based
on the fact that he recently borrow
ed $125,000 which we learn he in
tends, with portion of the large
fortune he possesses, to invest in de-
veloping his very valuable property
in and near the oil city.

of fever sometime since, which has
left him in somewhat weakened

see his doctor to know whether the

Arrested for FraudulentIy Using the
Mafls

On Friday last Deputy q. S. Mar
shall w. B. Sine came to this place
and lodged in jail Sol. Wright and
Oliver Barr, two citizens of this
county who were recently convicted
of violating the internal revenue
laws. This was not all Of the Off
GERS business. He had warrant
for a young man named L. B. Trip
lett, who came here some time ago
to study law. 1t seems that young
Triplett, under various aliases, had
been attempting to defraud eastern
publishing houses out of books. He
ordered a considerable bill to be sent
to Warrington using some alias and
representing himself as County Su
perintendent of Schools of Marion
county. When he presented himself
at the Warrington postofiice and de-
manded the goods he was refused,
the postmaster being well acquaint-
ed with the Superintendent of that
county. A little later Triplett or
dered the books to be forwarded to
Little Falls, this county, where he
but Marsh Jacobs also re-
fused to deliver them. BY this time
the publishing houses had got wind
Of the game and postoffice detec-
tive was put on the case. His in
vestigations resulted in the arrest of
the young man, who was taken to
Parkersburg last Saturday. He
came of a respectable family and has
heretofore borne a good reputation.
