FALSE.

A report has been circulated through
the neighboring papers to the effect
that "great excitement has been caus-
ed here by the development of viru-
lent case of smallpox "Itis feared it
will spread and physicians are doing a
land office businessin vacination.n 1t
is true that case of smallpox exists
three miles from town, but the place
has been put in strict quarantine and
there is no danger whatever of the dis
ease spreading. Some excitement was
necessarily caused by the announcce-
ment Of the case but that has quoted
down. AS for the doctors doing a
land office business in vaccination
there is nothing in it. One of our ex-
changes state that there are three cases
in the city. Only this one case exists,
and from that there is no danger at all.

will be found full particulars of
/" THE WORLDS" prize. Mr.. H. j..
Homrich, who has been in the jewelry
business here for number of years
and who is about to change his bust
ness location to Huntington, this State,
was the designer of the prize and the
engraved inscription thereon. A num-
Der of competent judges, who have
seen the work pronounce it perfect in
every respect, and piece of skilled
workmanship. We would heartily com
mend Mr. Homrich to the people Of
Huntington, as a perfectly honest, re-
liable and practical man in every re-
spect. He is a native of this city, and
has spent the greater portion of his
career here, and not one can complain
of any unfair or unreliable dealing.
AS a jeweller, he understands his bust
ness fully, and is up with the various
arts of his business to a high degree of

ANOTHER MOONsHINER.

On the 18th inst, Deputy U. S.
Marshal, VIM. H. Lemon, arrested
one Samuel Heishman, living about
six miles above Wardensville, Hardy
county, for illicit distilling. On the
18th, Marshal Lemon landed his pris-
oner in Parkersburg, where he was
given a hearing before U. S. Com
missioner, L. n. Tavenner, who sent
the prisoner to jail for the action of
the U. S. Court, now in session in that
city. Marshal Lemon made the arrest
assisted by Frank Harrison, of Rom
ney, and succeeded in breaking up
several other stills. After making the
arrest, the Marshal drove all night a
distance of about fifty miles. Marshal
Lemon has recently made several ar
rests that deserve a great deal of
credit, and if other officers of Uncle
Sam would follow his example, West
Virginia would soon be rid of such
transgressors.
The section of country in which this
arrest was made, is very wild and the
people dangerous, as other officers
have been given considerable trouble.
1t is reported that number of stills
yet exist there, and the officers unable
to locate them. We would suggest
that Deputy U. S. Collector Thos.
Pownall, of Romney, make some effort
also to break up the stills in that sec
ton, as we believe that to be portion
of his duty.
