THE project to pave and beautify the
streets of st. Clairsville ought to succeed.
The old town needs considerable cleaning
tive and pleasant place.-BellGire Ilade-
pendent.
This is the view people abroad take of
us.
When the new Council is organized, in
April, some member should introduce a
resolution requiring the Clerk to report
to Council the entire amount of money
received by the corporation Treasurer in
the ten years last past, separating the
funds, and the purpose for which expend-
ed. This will furnish data for intelligent
action upon the part of Council, and will
make interesting reading for all the peo-
pie.
Some men believe it is capable of de-
monstration that enough money has been
wasted and uselessly expended within
that time to pave Main street, or good
part of it.
OF course there will be objectors and
obstructionists among those who think
it the business of the town to help main
tain them, but the people will be disap-
pointed if Council does not resolutely &C
to work to give them some return for the
money collected off them, nearly $4,000
this year, and the reckless Clerk yelling
/ for more.
People will pay taxes with tolerablC
degree of grace when then can see theil
money is being expended for good anC
useful purpose; but when no good resul
is in sight after so many years, they arr
apt to think the town had better surren
der its charter and resolve itself into it
original elements.

NEARER HOME.

One Sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and DER:
l am nearer my home to-day
Than ever have been before;
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown!
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the silent, unknown stream
That leads at last to the light.
Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dread abysm;
Closer death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.
Oh, if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink;
If it be l am nearer home
Even to-day than think;
Father perfect my trust;
Let my spirit feel in death,
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of living faithl
1852. -Ph9be Carey

HE DID DARE TO DO IT.

Gen. Sickles was marching brigade OF
troops down to the front through Penn

toughs from the word go. Innumerable
depredations were being committed all
along the line of march. Finally, all else
failing. Gen. Sickles issued an order that
the next man breaking ranks to forage
without permission would be shot. He
was riding down to the rear, when man
left the ranks, sprang over a wall and
gathered an armful OF turnipS. He tried
to avoid seeing the soldier, but with an
air of bravado, the tough got IN tront OF
his horse. and sang out:
"Fine turnipS. General; have some

There was no more breaking of ranks

UNJUST TO MEXICO.

THE LIGHT has not rushed into

States, because the narrative as pub

would be corroborated upon investi-
CATION. 1t was more rational to be-
lieve that some individual had been
mistaken, or that some prejudices
had found expression in print, or that
some sensation lover had aired him
himself, it was easier to believe this
than to believe that a government
friendly to this country and daily
proving its friendship by every means
in its power should act officially as
charged in the Work letter. DR.. Or
nelas, Mexican consul in this city,
whose acquaintance with the Next
can court officers charged with such
outrages entities him to speak with
some pOsitiveness i'll this matter,
gives no credence to the sensational
ism of the charges. AS to the facts
of the shooting he has no knowledge,
but he is certain that Gov. PrietO,
OF Tamaulipas, has never permitted
such an occurrence as is heralded
with all the parade of flaming head
letters. DR.. Ornelas has written the
governor of the state of Tamaulipas
enquring into the affair and inlosing
days since. Concerning this cOmmu-
nicationDr. Ornelas says:"The heading

PUT THEM TO WORK.

For several years past there has been
an average Of 1850 men in idle conine-
ment in New Castle jail. OF these there
are at least 100 men who could be made
to serve their country as well as do them
selves benefit by working on the roads
This plan of using prisoners may
not appeal to highly sensitive,
emotional and impracticable people as an
aesthetic and honorable employment for a
criminal, but 1t does appeal TO practical
man as feasible plan for employing the
prisoners and for changing the plan Of
punishments SO that they will be bene.
fit instead Of burden.
Work on the roads would not entail
greater hardships than soldier endures
In active service and would not BE-
anything like so destructive to
life and health. The prisoners would
be we'll housed. just as well fed, as well
clothed. and the cruelty Of work would
4ot be nearly SO depressing, so disheart-
ening, so degrading as the cruelty OF
idle, useless and insanity breeding con
inement While this would not be pre-
cisely similar to the voluntary duties and
hardships of soldier, yet after such q
practice Of working criminals shall have
obtained, the criminal would know what
was in store for him and would hesitate
to commit crime.
Work has a wholesome effect on the
prisoners themselves and serves also tC
deter other men from becoming criminals
The majority of men confined in the New
Castle Jail are just such men as would BE-
suitable for work on the roads. They art
usually laborers and they are frequently
men who have b zen in that prison or il
other prisons before.
The sentimental objections to the plaI
Of using prison labor come from peopl,
who are ignorant Of prisons, OF crimes
and of the criminals themselves. The.
form their opinions from contact will
people and an association of ideas a
entirely different from the prisoners a
New Castle and from the facts Of TIN
case as If they lived in another planet.
