Hon. J. b. McFeyan, Judge OF the
Boyle county court, died at Louisville
Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock from the
effects OF surgical operation to relieve
an unnatural corpulency, which had
been increasing for some time past,
while other portions Of his body, except
his stomach and abdomen, gradually
wasted away. The operation was per-
formed the Saturday before his death
and for several days afterward Lis symp.
toms were 90 favorable that his friends,
outside OF the surgeons, had hope OF his
recovery. The surgeons found the liver
and spleen both fesrfully diseased. On
the liver there we're growths resembling
punches OF grapes soon after the bloom
has fallen from them. In the abdomi-
nal cavity there were six or seven gal
Ions OF fluid so think it would not run
and which weighed after il had been re.
moved 45 pounds. This fluid when an.
alyzed was found to contain millions OF
microbes. The surgeons pronounced
the case an extremely rare one. Some
think that il an operation had been
performed several months ago, there
would have been q chance OF his recov
cry, but most OF the surgeons think such
Q case necessarily hopeless from the be
ginning. Judge McFerran was man o
high character, q lawyer OF ability ant

Prom tho Wheeling Sunday Register.
The REGISTER is permitted to
make the following extract from a
letter from Belfast, Ireland. under
date of October Goth. concerning q
West Virginian abroad, which will
not only be interesting to the gen.
tleman's many friends, but also
very satisfactory reading to all West
Virginians at home:
had the pleasure OF meeting p.
A. Coniif, Esq, Of Rowlesburg,
Preston county, on the 18th inst.
He was IN Belfast en- business con
nected with his lumber interests in
West Virginia. Mr.. Conf inform.
ed me that he had sold several thou
sand dollars worth OF lumber on
his trip. and all at fair prices. His
principal sales were made i'm Liver.
pool, Bristol, Glasgow and Dublin.
Altogether, his trip has been very
successful one, besides laying the
foundation of much greater bust.
ness in the future.

MIR. Coniff is woll posted in his

all current topics. lie has pleas.
ant address and readily interests
ono IN his talks, whether II be on
business or irrelevant matters. Ii
makes one feel quito at home to
run across such representative
Americans abroad.
He said West Virginia tim Der /.
well aud favorably known through
out tho kingdom, and commands
ready sale when times are brisk.
This is particularly truo o: Yves,
Virginia poplar, or white wood, a.
1t is termed here, although whit,
oak, hickory, ash, elm. walnut and
other woods sell readily. Mr.. Co
niff ships all his stuff from Balti

1t may seem, tho ocean freight il
just the Same as the freight on tn,
same merchandise from Fairmon,
to Baltimore, viz: l5 cents pei
hundred pounds.
1t is quite evident that the Noun
tain State needs very little protec-
ton against foreign lumber. Al
she wants is cheap freight rate sc
she can reach the markets of the
world is competition with other
sections of our own country.

sweetheart whose parents gave her
a horse to quit him. She quit him
and got the horse. After while
the parents took liking to the
young man, and gave her another
horse to rcinstate hun. She did so
and now has two horses. The
result is they will have a good team
to start with.
