Mrs. Henrietta Fry and daughter. OF

Caroline Wilson, OF Capon Iron Works
Hardy county, W. Va, spent the Xmas
week with relatives and friends here.
When you cannot be suited elsewhere in

An excursion on the Narrow Gauge Il.
R., to Liberty Iron Works, on Sunday

that point.

Mr.. ]. B. Glen, a merchant of this
place and Lautz's Mill, made an assign
ment last week for benefit OF his credit
ors. No preferences. lie learn that he
was forced to this course by the failure of
Roseuberger Il Shirley.
On Dec. 29th there was dance at
Hisey's Hall that was participated in
BIZ large number of both sexes. Oar.
ing the evening delightful snpper was
served to the dancers at Marston's restau'
rant, which was not the least of the en-
ioyments of the occasion.
As the weather is getting bad and you

Mr.. c. H. Bell, native of this place,
but for some years resident of Columbus,
Ohio, was married on Wednesday
morning, Dec. 3Otb, to Miss Laura,
daughter of Mr.. Jno. W. Recser, at the
home of the latter on the river near this
Mace. by Rev. d. II. Rhodes. The same
morning the newly welded couple took
the train at Woodstock for Columbus,
which will be their home for the future.
A constable of this place gave chase
one night last week to wcll-known NJ.
D. The pace was terrific while it lasted,
but the Doctor succeeded in making his
escape. If our constable ever succeeds,
after careful training, in running down
and capturing the Doc, who has long
been celebrated for his fleeiness and
wind, Ill be the very one to put after
the HERALD's delinquent subscribers.
The holidays passed off very quietly
here with the exception of Christmas day
which was marked by disgraccful riotlng
and fighting. Several arrests were at
tempted but proved to be perfect farces,
TO say the least a few more such ridicu-
Ions attempts at enforcing the laws will
give the people greater contempt Tor
laws, courts ard socaIicd Justice than
they now entertain.
In looking over the proceedings OF the
Legislature prior to the adjournment for
the holidays our people were surprised
to notice that a bill had been introduced
By Nlr. Walton. the Senator from this
district, for tho repayment to NJ. l.
Grove of certain monies voluntarily ad-
vanced by him in certain prosecutions in
the county court some time ago. As MI
Walton Il perfectly familiar with thii
matter our people confidently expect hin
to oppose the bill when it comes up fol
action.
Entertainments were given in thu
Graded School building of this place, OF
the evenings of Friday and Saturday
January 1st and 2nd, 10y a number o
younq ladies ana gentlemen for the bene
fit of the Methodist parsonage. A repre-
sentation Of Temperance Picnic" wa
the principal part of the evenings en-
ioyments, and proved quite interesting t
the large audience. The proceeds wei
satisfactory.
The members Of the Committee reques
ms to return their thanks t. the youn
ladies' and gentlemen, and the member
the Band. who so kindly gave thei
services, and to the public for their ger
erous patronage.
On Saturday night, Dec. Goth, some
the colored people Of Woodstock CAV
concert in IIsey's Hall, in thi
Mace. It is said their expenses wei
S1O.75 and the receipts $lO.5O, thu
making the entertainment pan on
twenty-five cents short. Your corrC
spondent was not present but from tt
generous amount of applause lie heard /
, supposed that the performance was frs
class. and was much surprised when IL
> formed by those who had been in the ha
that the applause was not intended as
encore, as they were simply guying til
ridiculous attempts of these colored pc
: formers. The largest amount OF "stocl
invested by any one person in this pc
. formance was sixty-fve cents taken
: the clerk of the "City Bar" and VINO ia
previously ADVISED the proprietor not
. take "stock" IN the concern or any of
!. members Bot this is nothing when cor
pared to the generous kindness shove
by the same clerk in a game of tempt
. on last Saturday night, when he came
= the relief of the same proprietor with
% lnino and seven pin boxes. But the clerl
N partner IN the game fully unders'an
