In speaking of the arrest of Penn
sylvania hunters for taking game
out of this State, which they had
killed, gentleman gave it as his
opinion that the State could not pass
law preventing any one from ex-
porting game as the government had
the sole power to regulate commerce
between the states
Two young fellows claiming Union
town, Pa, as their home were in town
few evenings ago aud asked for
lodging in Jail This has become
common occurrence of late, but the
most of the men are honest laborers
seeking to get work on the railroad
at Smithfield. The two from Union
town, however, seemed to be trying
to get away from work and were
probably bound for "Tramp's Para
Disc" Parkersburg.
The Greene County Pa. people
think that Fitzsimmons the escaped
Pittsburg murderer is in hiding in
that county and that pretended
deaf mute who has ibeen seen several
times is no other than Fitz. The
Pittsburg Dispatch gives a column
on the wanderings of the supposed
Fitz through Greene county and
says that when last seen he was
making for the mountains of West
Virginia. Let him come, some one
of our local Pinkertons will be sure
to nab him.
WHILE talking about the Univer-
sity gentleman said, tour people do
not appreciate the institution as they
should; they should boom the Uni
versity just as much as the town for
it brings from 100000 to $4,000
annually and that amount Of money
is. not to be sneezed at. The present
and coming year will bring much
larger amount OF cash as there will
be $50, 900 expended on buildings. 1t
is hard to tell just what each student
spends, but placing the average at
the ridiculously low figure of 5000,
the total would be over $4,000. Ev-
cry one should lend his aid in doub-
ling the number of students"
AT about midnight Thursday dur
ing the progress of the ball at the
Municipal Hall some scoundrel threw
large stone through a window.
Several ladies were sitting in front
of the window and the stone barely
missed them and struck a gentleman
on the back. Considerable excite
ment was caused but the dancing
was not stopped and great many
in the hall did not know that any
thing unusual had occurred. This
is the most dastardly deed that has
ever occurred here during the prog
ress of social affair and the young
gentlemen will pay big reward for
information that will lead to the ar
rest of the wretch who threw the
stone.
A GENTLEMAN who is in the en-
ploy of the Government and whose
business keeps him travelling through
the State, yesterday while in
town said: "The intelligence of the
citizens of Monongalia County is
fifty per cent above that of the pco
pie in the next best county in the
State, and equal, if not above, the
average of any other county in the
state or adjoining counties in other
states To what do you attribute
it? your good schools For many
years your academy was the finest
school west of the Allegheny noun
tains and it was followed by the
State University. Your county
schools have for the most part been
taught by teachers educated at these
institutions while in the back coun-
ties of the state one of your fifteen
year old boys could at anytime get
a place as teacher and do better too
than those who hold the places"
