HALLEoK, June 26. -Everything seems
to be moving smoothly except with a
few constitutional GROWERS who claim
that the democrats have not sense
enough to run Postoffice or ANYTHING
else. OF course some of them soon ex-
pect their heads to fall into the basket,
and il it don't come soon there will not
be much hair left on their scalps. They
seem to think that the earth and the
fullness thereof is theirs. OF course a r.
NJ who has been drawing public pap for
IA years is hard to wean. But honest
republicans say to the victor belongs the
spells.
If we don't know much, we know that
the consumer pays the tariff, and not
the foreigner. Neither are we stupid
enough to tell man if he deposits mon
ey in national bank that it is on such
sound basis he cant lose his money in
case the bank breaks, as some of those
who claim to be the brightest in the g.
o. p. do.
And the wool is getting over their eyes
law, as they claim it, that it is bringing
them much weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth, as the great land slide
of go did.
They have forgotten that wool sold at
$l.00 per pound back in the sixties, and
1867 the high tariff was put on it and it
has been declining in price ever since
and has sold more than once at Is
cents.
Some of our people could have sold at
Is cents but refused to take it. Some of
them were shown letters from buyer
stating that it was 10 cents in the east
which would make it 10 cents here, so
some Of them got the price down in or
der to raise political howl.
But the mills will run and the cattle
on thousand hills will fatten and the
valleys will blossom and yield an abund-
ant harvest under honest Growers rule,
far better than under republican mis-
rule,

CO-EducatiOn.

The Inde1 edited by Regent C. L.
Smith, has the following to say of co
education: "Co-e education is now on
trial at the University. BY mere
chance its friends found themselves
in majority in the Board a few yeas
since, and the ladies were admitted
to the college classes. Since that
time it has not proved as satisfacto-
ry as its advocates hoped, but we
are glad to say that nothing has &C.
Cured thus far to discourage the ex-
pertinent At the last meeting of
the Board it was saved by mere
scratch, for as an original PROPOSE
tion we think a majority of the pres
ent Board is opposed to the system,
but were at this time willing to give
it further trial. If the experiment
is not more successful, we think il
highly probable that ladies will be
excluded from the University in the
next few years."

porting the infant class to and from

everything in the way of innocent
amusements to make the day an en-
joyable one for both old and young.
An invitation is extended to the
scholars of other Sunday Schools
and also to the friends Of the schol-
ars to take part in the joyous occa-
sion. The grove is beautiful place
for such affairs and it goes without
saying that the occasion will he a
most pleasant one.

John Batson, of Webster, Suicides.
Grafton Leader.

The people of Webster were start
led M onday evening by the report
that John Batsop, son of James
w. Batson had hanged himself in a
stable adjoining the family residence.
The unfortunate victim had been an
inmate of the insane asylum at Yves
ton for two or three years and had
been out about eyear. OF late be
had been developing strong symp-
toms of returning insanity, and at
the time of his death, the family
were taking steps to have him re-
committed to the asylum. On
Monday evening he escaped for a
short time the careful watch that
had been placed over his movements
and going to the stable procured a
halter and attached one end to a
cross beam over the manger and the
other around his neck. When
found his chin was resting on the
manager and his knees upon the
floor, and his neck was found to be
broken. Much sympathy is extend
ed the family on account of such
sad affection.

The Robinson Show.

Saturday was an ideal day and
Robinson's circus could not have had
better weather had it been made to
order. The people began to come
into town early in the morning and
before noon the streets were crowd
ed. The noon train brought several
hundred people from points along
the railroad, and an excursion party
arrived shortly afterward from PIT.
Marion in a large barge towed by
the Horace. Better order never pre-
vailed in town, and the show was
perfectly free from fakirs, for which
the management is to be commended.
The feature of King Solomon was
the presence of Miss Laura Reese,
who impersonates the Queen with as
much dignity as the Queen herself.
She is beautiful woman of the bru-
nette type, and carriage that would
set half the young men of the town
crazy. Her costumes are marvels.
They are a beautiful blending of
colors and are made by the master
of his art, Worth of Paris. At her
feet are resting in quiet repose the
fiercest of the animal kingdom, two
magnificent specimens of lions that
appear as. docile as the lambs that
follow the infant tumbler. Altogeth-
err the Robinson show is the best
and most refined circus travelling
being devoid of gamblers, sharps and
thugs.
The officials are the most thorough
gentlemen of the profession. Among
those whom we met were Mr.. j. J.
Ryan, Mr.. Cullom and Mr.. John
Lowlow. The latter gentleman is
known by sight to hundreds of our
people as he has been visiting Nor
gantown with this show for over for
ty years. This show and it's mana
gers have an EXCELLENT name in all re-

RANDALL, June 27.-Jake Wharton is
selling buggies and is meeting with fair
success.
Lindsey Wharton is spending his va
cation at home.
/ met Dr. Sycks, late of the University,
at Fairmont last week. The Doctor is
enjoying good health. / also met Attor-
ney Morley, OF Kingwood. He was on
his way to Chicago, but will be in Nor
gantown on the 2Sth and 10Th to attend
the lot sale.
/ came from Fairmont in company
with Judge Fleming. asked the Judge
whether, should VIM. l.. Wilson decline
to be candidate for reelection, he
would be candidate for Congress. He
said he would consider it quite an honor
to represent the Second District of West
Virginia but he believed it to be his du-
ty to engage in his profession for some
years in order to lay up something for a
rainy day, as his expenses exceeded his
income as Governor, counting the expen-
SEES he incurred in his contest with Golf.
The democracy of West Virginia owe a
debt Of gratitude TO Judge Fleming. Fol-
had he given up the contest, our State
would to-day be in the hands Of the re-
publican bosses. And the democrats Of
West Virginia would be as the democrats
OF Monongalia are to-day-we hardly
dare say our souls are our own.

ANoTHEa RAILROAD
To Morgantown-The Pittsburg, yfrs
ginia and Charleston TO
Re RUftt

The Uniontoscn Netcs says: "The
extension Of the Pittsburg, Virginia
and Charleston railroad from West
Brownsville through Greensboro to
Morgantown is a sure go and the
present condition of matters indicate
that all will be in readiness for the
initial train about the latter part of
the year.
J. S. Black of Greensboro was in
Uniontown this morning and in con-
versation with Neses reporter sta
ted that the citizens of the southern
end of Greene county regarded the
matter as having been definitely
settled.
A corps of surveyors has been at
work in Greensboro and a complete
survey has been made from Browns
vile to Greensboro on both sides of
the river. The west side is regarded
as being the better for a railroad
bed, and this will not necesitate the
erection of a bridge on the Upper
Monongahela.
4 report from Waynesburg states
that committee of the leading cit
liens Of that place had a conference
with the officials of the p. V. d C. r.
r. last week in which it was stated
that the reports of the surveys show
ed that the cost of building the road
on the west side would be cheaper
than on the east side. The only towns
through which the road would pass
by river route between Brownsville
and Greensboro are Millsboro, Fred
and Rice,s Landing.
The citizens of Point Marion have
been making every effort to get the
road to pass through that place,
that the passenger and
freight traffic would be very large
and would compensate the company.
The railroad officials have given out
scarcely anything regarding the
but those who claim to know
are building strongly on the pros
pect.'

1t Rained.

The long drouth and severe hoo
weather which promised to ruin the
hay crop and lay waste vegetables
of all kinds in this vicinity, was
broken by rain which came as a
God send on the morning of the 21st
inst, and lasted throughout the day.
A light shower fell the previous
night and seldom, if ever was rain
more thankfully welcomed here.
Farmers from some portions of the
county say, that the hay crop will
be about three-fourths of the average,
while citizen who owns a meadow
near town is authority for the state
ment, that the crop in this vicinity
will not be more than one fourth.
From the numerous inquiries made,
it is safe to say that the hay crop
will be short and will result in great
loss to farmers raising stock. As
the crop last year was a failure, We
may expect therefore, to see repe-
tition of thousands of bales of hay
being imported to this place.

The P. v. & c. R. r. Coming.

A railroad contractor said to a
New DOMINION reporter last evening
"The contract for grading the first
ten miles of the Pittsburg, Virginia
" Charleston railroad from West
Brownsville south ale the Monon-
gahela river will be given out this
week, and there is no longer any
doubt about this road being built to
Morgantown. The engineers are
making the final location all along
the line and the road will in my
opinion be pushed to completion with
the least possible delay"
There seems to be but little else to
report about the p. v. q G. Every.
body says it will be built who knows
anything about the matter and Wa
are confident that everybody is right.

Under the Spires.

Morgantown will soon be noted for
her handsome houses of worship. In
few days the congregation of the
Baptist church will commence on
their lot adjoining James A. Davis
Main street, the erection of an ele-
CANT modern edifice. 1t will be of
brick, one story and contain besides
the auditorium, lecture and class
rooms. The cost will be about $751; 600.
The Episcopalians will enlarge their
handsome church by building tran
sept, that is, add an addition to the
edifice giving it the shape of a
cross. When completed it will be
one of the prettiest churches we have.
The Methodist Protestant church,
which was built but few years ago,
is undergoing extensive repairs, and
this already fine structure will soon
be still more attractive The Pres
byterians will in the near future tear
down their present building and erect
on the site the finest church ever put
up here. The building will be of
brick and stone and modern struc-
ture throughout. The present church
is better building than found in
most towns and the fact that it is to
be torn down is proof positive that
the edifice which takes its place will
be magnificent one which Morgan
town, as we'll as the congregation,
will be proud Of The Methodist
Episcopal church was recently i'm
proved at great expense and has a
magnificent auditorium and elegant
lecture and class rooms. The outside
of the building will soon be improv-
ed by a coat of paint, if the congre-
CATION desires to keep up with the
church improving procession, and we
are sure that it 80 desires. The A.
nj. E. church, colored, has an at
tractive auditorium sand is kept in
handsome style and repair We are
proud of our places of worship and
we have right SO to be.
