On Trial for Murder.
Kanawha Gazette.


Yesterday the case Of the State
against Isham Mullens, who stands
charged with the murder of j. Henry
Moore, at Nicholas Court House, last
Christmas morning, year ago, was
put on trial before Judge Gutherie in
this city. Following are the names
of the jury who are trying the case
Jacob Cooper, John Smith, William
Halstead, Augustus Copen, James
Harding, Joseph Robson, Sylvester
Pickens, Granville Carpenter, John
George, Robert Johnson, James Co
penhaver and Robert Toney.
It appears that Moore became in
volved in quarrel with some par
ties in Nicholas Court House, and
Mullens, Constable, was ordered to
arrest him, which he did. Moore re-
fused TO be put in Jail, and demanded
an immediate hearing. He was TAX
en- before Justice Isaac Hart, who, it
Is said, dismissed the case against
the prisoner The parties then re-
turned to town, after which the
shooting occurred. Mullens surren-
dered and was placed in jail, but as
there was numerous threats Of lynch
ing, the guards took him from the
Jail, and while en- route to place OF
safety, Mullens, believing the lynch
ers after him, escaped. He was at
liberty several weeks, and finally
surrendered to Sheriff Graves, and
was brought to the jail in this city
for safe keeping, and when the case
was called in Nicholas county, Judge
Gntherie presiding, Mullens was
granted change Of venue and was
brought to this county for trial.
There were about sixty witnesses
here from Nicholas county, and il
will take the balance of the week to
try the case.
Prosecuting Attorneys Chapman
and Littlepage appear for the State,
W. E. Chiffon and Judge Houston
for the defense.
Mullens is man of small statue
with dark hair and mustache and
looks anything else than a bad
man.

A Terrible Misfortune.

It is calamity of the direst kind
to feel that ones physical energies
are failing in the prime of life-to
feel more nerveless, more dispirited,
weaker every day. Yet this is the I'M
happy lot of hundreds who surround
us. A source Of renewed strength
which science approves, in behalf
of which multitudes Of the debilita-
ted have and and are every day testi-
flying, and which, in countless in
stances, has built up constitutions
Slapped by weakness and infirmity
and long unidentified by other means,
surely commends itself to all who
need tonic. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is such a medicine-pure,
botanic, soothing to the nerves, pro-
motive Of digestion and fertilizer
of the blood. Dyspepsia and nervous
ness-the first cause the second a
consequence Of lack of stamina-de-
part when course of the Bitters ia
tried. All forms ofmalarial disease,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder
trouble, constipation and bilioushess
are annihilated by this standard
family medicine.

Care Of the Cellar.

We feel disposed to caution our
readers thus early that they exam
inc their cellars very carefully. Too
often the farm house cellar is the
common store room for apples, po-
tatoes, turnips, beets, onions, cab
bage and squashes, while pork and
beef in the shape of hams, shoulders,
sides, jowls, rounds and tongues End
a resting place or hanging place.
Besides all these we have seen in the
same cellar sweet milk, SKINNED
milk, buttermilk, butter. and the
cold remns nts of meat, vegetables
and fruit from the tables. Does any
sane man believe that these things
can be kept together without seri-
Gus damage to some of them? Some
of the fruits and vegetables must
begin to decay at the very time they
are put in. and all of them, together
with the meats, give off peculiar
scents that are instantly absorbed
by some of the. others, and especially
by thu milk and vegetables. To eat
these is sure to cause disease sooner
Or later, and the sooner the head Of
the house provides separate and ex-
elusive places for at least three pro-
ducts-fruits and vegetables, meats,
dairy produc.s-the greater will he
reduce his doctor bills. The more
pure, fresh air Of low temperature
can be made to pass through the
cellar, the better for occupants Of
the rooms above.

New England Weather Crop Bulletin
for the Week Ending sept. !.

In general the weather during the past
week was most favorable to the maturing
of remaining crops The surface Of the
soil is dry and even dusty in many places,
vet no crops are suffering from the three
weeks drouth except in few places where
the soil is light
The high temperature with the dry wealth
er has arrested the progress of decay in pc
tatoes, and the crop Is improved, though no
further growth can be expected.
The lack of rain is beginning to affect
fall pastures iniuriously. Beans continue
to improve and are ripenng fast
Corn has about attained its maturity ev-
erywhere in the district and in many
places, especially in the southern part, the
crop has been cut and shocked An aver
age crop is expected.
Buckwheai is ripening well and is almost
ready to be cut.
All fruits are ripening rapidly some va
rieties of early grapes have already been
pucked in Connecticut.
Cranberry picking is in progress ON Cape

From the Burlington Free Press
So much ma. been said of late regarding
Vermont and her farms aud farmers, that
some think our position is something unique
that Vermont is alone in her experience as
regards drain upon her native population.
The Philadelphia Press however. shows
that Vermont is not the only state on the
Atlantic senbuard that needs repeophng
Every state east of the Ohio river has
thousands Of acres of good farming lands
which are living idle for the want of tllers.
The Young farmers have emigrated 10 tine
Nest or gone To- the cities and the foreign
immigrants that have settled here are
found almost wholly in the manufacturing
towns The annual report ui the Massh.
rhusetts bureau of labor statistics Tor 1851
noted a marked decrease in the population
of the rural districts and the hill towns
The explanation given when reason was
sought was that the young men leave
the old die and NO one comes TO take theIr
places Most of the other Eastern states.
il questioned would probably have To tel
the same story.
The situation in Vermont certainly Is
"uniuue There has. of course, been a
large emigration from all the Eastern states
and hardly less from the older states OF the
West. but mo- other state approaches err
mont in the proportional extent OF emigra
ton. This fact is shown by the following
extract from am article first published III
the Free Pres, in April, 1883 This article
with several others of similar tenor, was
designed tn promote the action which has
since been taken to encourage immigration
to Vermont. or failing IN that, to contrib
ute something toward IA better appreciation
of home opportunities We give the eN-
tract at the risk of repetition. because II
shows that Vermont differs greatly, in the
extent to " hich it has been depleted 10y EN-
igratiou. even from the other states which
have suffered much from thi, cause
The article alluded to states that, accord

the same proportion of native residents to
the native non presidents was shown 10y the
census Of 1870. and it is not likely to diiler
greatly when the next census Is taken

A good many people are justly sensitive
over the impression that most OF the out
of state papers give regarding Col. Nalen-
tines emigration scheme NermOnters nat
urallv resent the idea that this state is dry
iug up and going To seed that there are IN
any true sense deserted farms to any great
extent and to counteract such an impress
sion they point to the fact that Vermont
has at Randolph the best herd of Jersey
cows in the United States that Durham
Hosteiu and Hereford stock take first prizes
at the New England and Bay state fairs
that there are in tins state tiocks of sheep
unsurpassed in the entire country As re
CARDS horses also there is probably but one
state that surpasses Vermont in all around
