Among the most interesting relics
now in the possession Of the State His
torical Society is the beaver trap brought
to the Kanawha Valley in 17SS by Dan
lei Boone. With 1t he and Paddy Hud-
dleston caught the first beaver ever
caught by white men on the Kanawha
river and exterminated a colony OF
about dozen at the root OF Long
Shoal, near Euddleston's honse. After
this Boone and young Huddleston trap
ped together all the streams Of this re-
gion, meeting with more success on the
Gauley and its tributaries than any
where else. Paddy Hnddleston, who
lived to be about 95 years OF age, pre-
served the trap until his death when it
decended to his sons, the late |. and G.
Huddleston, Of Kanawha Falls, who
gave it to DR.. J. 2. Hale, of this city,
who deposited 1t with the Historical
Soclety.-Chdrlest0n Star.

We called to see Mrs. r. w. Williams,
the aged colored lady Of Twentieth
street, who it is reported had been given
poison at the hands of her husband.
From what we gather from her and
others, it would seem evident that she
was certainly given dose Of some
thing that would kill when given in
sufficient quantity. About the 25th OF
May, it is said, Williams got cake and
tried to get Mrs. w. 10 eat portion of
it, She being somewhat suspicious,
refused to eat It, and gave q portion TO
dog, that, after eating it, became
crazy and finally died.-Huntingto

A corps of West Virginia Central en-
gineers made preliminary survey
from near Big Springs, Pocahontas
county to Mingo, in this county. The
line followed closely to the pike. The
route is very unfavorable, we learn. To
build arailroad on this line it would be
necessary to make three tunnels, one
1000 one $500 feet and one 1000 feet.
The railroad, if extended south from
here will cross the mountain at Brady
Gate. -Rdndolph Enterprise.
