WINCHESTER Presbytery.
From the Romney Intelligencer.l

from the homney 1nlellSSeuSefsl
Despite the inclement weather there
was good attendance and a pleasant
meeting of this church court at Bum
ker Hill last week. The church
building. which during the war, had
been used more than once as fort
and almost dismantled, has been re-
paired and made attractive and com
Portable. The Rev. E. L. Wilson is
the faithful pastor.
Rev. John NJ. Clymer was elected
moderator, and Rev. j. MEG. Duck
wall and Chas. r. StribIing clerks.
Among other items of business ne
note the following:
Calls for the services of Licentiate
A. G. Link from the churches of
Strasburg, Cedar Creek and Cedar
Cliff we're presented and on Mr.. Link 8
acceptance of them lie was examined
and ordained to the full work of the
ministry and order taken for his in
stallation as pastor of those churches.
An overture from the session of
Woodstock church asking that Pres
bytery nominate or elect its commits
sioners to the General Assembly at
the Fall meetings of PresbyteFy i'm
stead of at the Spring meeting WAS
answered in the negative.
The Presbytery respectfully de-
clined the request of Greenbrier
PresbyterY to unite with it and Lex
ington Presbytery in an overture TO
the Synod of Va, to erect new Sy-
nod out of the Presbyteries of Green
brier, Lexington and Winchester.
Lexington Presbytery,it WILDE seen
by the papers, also declined.)
Mr.. John N. Bell, ST., of Winches-
ter, Va, for fifty years the esteemed
and efficiet Treasurer of Presbytery,
rendered his resignation on account
of age and growing intirmities, and in
accepting it Preshytery put on re-
cord expression of its high apprecia-
ton of his long and faithful services.
Ruling Elder - Zea, of Strasburg,
was elected Treasurer.
The following was adopted:
The Presbytery of Winchester,
while expressing no opinion on the
merits of the questions involved in
the Report of the Committee of Con-
ference of the General Assembly of
the United States (Southern Presby-
terian) with the Committee of the
General Assembly U. S. A. (Northern
Presbyterian) on cooperation in
church work adopted by the General
Assembly at Chattanooga last spring,
desires to put on record its dissatis-
faction with such action upon matters
affecting the whole church, without
first ascertaining the mind of the
church concerning them.
Because, in the judgment of Pres
bytery it was the setting of an unwise
and dangerous precedent.
Presbytery will hold its stated
spring meeting at Martinsburg. -

The advantages of our neighboring
towns of Harper's Ferry and Bolivar
and their picturesque vicinity as sum-
mer resorts have become more and
more prominent yearly, and their pop
ularity has so increased that they
seem now about to be developed in a
very large measure. Capt. Geo. w.
Green has already begun work on his
new hotel on the g Fruit HiIl'' farm,
which is delightfully."- situated on the
east side of the Shenandoah river,
overlooking Bolivar and Camp Hill.
In addition to this there are to be two
more hotels. A fine summer hotel,
of which we have seen draught, is to
crown a beautiful summit of Camp
Hill, overlooking the Potomac, Is
land Park, a goodly part of Harper's
Ferry and the banks of the Shenan-
doah. This building is TO be put I'M
der contract at once, and completed
IN time for next season. Judge Vale,
of Washington, has purchased a beau
tiful site on Bolivar Heights, and it is
said will erect thereon large hotel,
more accommodations than either of
the others named. Col. Whitman, a
retired army officer, has purchased
fourteen acres of land on Bolivar
Heights, where he will erect for him
self an elegant rustic stone residence,
which with the other improvements of
grounds, &C., will probably cost some
SIS, 900 or $4,000. Plans and spec
ifications for this work are being put
IN the hands of local contractors, that
they may bid upon the same, and the
work to be completed as soon as pos
sible.

In response to an alIusiou to his
erection of a dwelling house in Wash
ington City, Senator Kenna gave his
interviewer to understand that some
thing stronger than pile of brick
and mortar wo uld be required to
ALLEVIATE him from West Virginia.
He said:
Yes; simply because it is cheaper
to build house at six per cent. in
terest for the period that 1 shall need
it, with its value constantly increas-
ing, than to pay fifteen per cent. in
rents and be hawked about the city

Senator Kenna says if he can make
proper business arrangements he will
accept the invitation given him to
speak in Virginia and Ohio during
the present campaign. Referring to
West Virginia politics he said:
II am proud of one fact shown in
our election; West Virginia in spite
of influences which have rarely failed
to dominate any State to which thew
are applied has breasted the storm.
and stands to-day in my judgment,
faithful, true and tried in the column
of Democracy. The hereism with
which the party has met recent as
saults is worthy of all emulation by
people who love honesty and liberty
everywhere. We had long ago. dem
onstrated that the Democracy could
not he bought. If the whole cleo
tion--both State aud National-were
to be done over again, it would Illus
trate Democratic victory overwhelm-
inglY. The charge of the coIored
brigade in Mercer and Mcdowell
counties in the light of recent expe-
riences is not likely to be repeated,
and better precautions will hereafter
prevail in every locality to protect
the ballot from invasion by fraud
and importation"

by Judge Okey Johnson was not a

the Charleston Gazette leans from the
Judge, but ''for making a wiIful mis-

vantage for his client ii. e. that he
had just been employed in INSIDE
meanor case, was not familiar with
it, and was therefore not ready to try
it, when in truth and fact, he had been
employed in the case for four months,

The need of a good Democratic pa
per at Washington City has long been
felt, and the vacuum, we are pleased
to note, is at last filled. The National
Democrat is the name of the new party
organ, and judging from the several
copies already issued, it is to be a
live, sound paper, worthy of the pa
tronage of Democrats throughout the
country. Mr.. Edmund Hudson, an
able newspaper man, is at the helm,
and the enterprise, we trust, will
prove a grand success.
