Judge Hagans closed his first

while we differ from his Honor in

and. ourselves to say that he has
made an admirable impression upon
our people. His fairness, dignity,
ability, and affable manners, emf

The Mild Winter.

The slight cold wave that passed
over the country early this week
varied the monotony Of the mild
winter slightly, but it is not now
probable that we will have much
more severe weather this winter. II
is not unlikely that the coidest wealth
err Of the winter will occur in Febru-
airy. But even should the season be-
come more boreal next month, the
severe cold can't last long, and the
probabilities are on the side of an
early spring.

ssDid You Eyeri,'

We are moved to remark that the
latest ambition of our aspiring town
is an opera house.
We think it proper to explain that
we were recently aspiring after a
'stown hall"-we now want an opera
house. We don't want any town-hall
any more, at all.
Our growing ambition is not to be
satisfied with common and cheap i'm
provements. There was a time when
we would have been satisfied with a
rink, But we have passed through
the rink-epoch- and the town hall
epoch to the opera house epoch.
1t is just barely possible that we
may not stop here. Before we con-
summate our opera house ambition
we may pass to the Academy of Mu-
sic epoch. There's no telling where
we'll stop. 1t costs nothing to pass
from one epoch to another, and we
might as we'll have the satisfaction.
Besides it's a relief. We hung ON to
town hall till everybody was tired.
Now let us put our heads peace
fully together on an opera house. We
can give rein to this noble ambition
We can build splendid opera house
high up in the air--and nobody
will be hurt.

Hon. II. j. White for q. s. Marshall.

A Charleston correspondent of the
Register refers to the candidacy of
II. S. White, of Marshall county, for
the u. S. Marshallship as follows:
Mr.. White is native of this county
and a brother of Prof. l. c. White, Of
the University.
H. S. White, of Marshall, was here
few days since looking after his
chances for the U. S. Marshallship
White has a clear field outside of
Kanawha county. Here there are
two aspirants, James Hulings and
j. w. Parrish. Neither have been
prominent in the party councils ex-
cept locally. Sol White has been
one of the wheel horses of Republi-
canism for years. On the score of
party services at least he ought to
have the place, and it could not fall
upon more energetic or capable
man.

SociaI Events.

Miss Nettie Nye entertained a
number of her young lady friends in
a charming manner at 'thimble
bee' from to 9 o'clock on Monday
evening. The time was passed very

told our reporter how charmingly
their bewitching hostess entertained
them.
Providence seems to have especial
ly favored Morgantown this season
with numerous social events of SUI
perior excellence, unapproached in
the past and almost unapproachable.
While the pleasant recollections of
one are still lingering in the memory
of the fortunate participant an
other even more promising than
the last is announced. The delight
full and spacious parlors of Miss
Blanche Anderson was the place
which affored unspeakable enjoyment
to the members of the NJ. A. S. O.,
on Tuesday evening February 30.
After a short business session the
programme for special reasons was
dispensed with and the gentlemen
were then served by lady admirers
with the choicest refreshments. All
the praise for this pleasant event and
surprise is due to the ingenuity
and magnaminity of the ladies of
this organization. The following is
list of the members present:
Messrs. Hayes, Heiner, jackson,

The invitation will undoubtedly be ac-

LONDON, March 21.-The war of the
Liberals upon Attorney General Webster,
owing to his questionable connection
with The Times attempt to ruin the
Irish party. wages more bitter than ever,
and its scope is constantly enlarging.
The Liberal leaders are now directing
their assaults toward the Unionists, the
attitude of those renegades in the mat
ter of defending Webster affording the
Gladstonians an excellent opportunity to
pay off old scores. So persistent have
the Liberals become in their endeavors
TO connect the government and its adj
herents with the contemplate and dis
honorable acts of The Times henchmen
that the position of the Unionists has be-
come almost uncomfortable, and it is freely
asserted that the latter contemplate re-
questing the Conservatives to aIlot them
two benches on the Tory side of the
house, in order to escape what they term
the insults of the Liberals. Such move
would destroy the last trace of party dis

Mrs. Muller thinking he had gone away,
staggered to the door intending TO give

started TO run, but was overtaken and
dragged into the barn by Salzman, who
thereupon struck her on the head with
the hammer, and while she lay senseless
on the floor beat her with a club until il
seemed certain that she was dead. He
then fled and has not yet been found.
