Randall Letter.

RANDALL, w. VA. June 26-Sant.
Dusenberry gave an ice cream supper
on the night of the Is inst There were
about 20 present. George John, of your
town was present, and appeared to en-
JOY himself very much. He was as
tonished at the large number OF young
ladies present and wanted to know Ii
they all belonged to this section.
Simon L. Boyers has corn in silk and
will have roasting ears by the 4th of
July.
A certain alleged newspaper claims
to have more correspondents than any
other paper in Morgantown. A young
lady visiting in this neighborhood says
that if the correspondence sent from
Usage is sample OF the items, the pa
per would come nearer the line of re-
speciality if it had none.
1t is astonishing how few there are
who can appreciate good music. Here
is what the best Judge at the Com
mencement says of Guenther's orches-
ira. mean Capt. Frank Rutter leader OF
Rutter's Band.
He said that Guenther's Orchestra was
now considered equal to the celebrated
George Orchestra of Pittsburg, and
that it is one of the finest for the num-
Der of pieces in America. That Guenth-
er was one of the most celebrated So
loists in America, and that he supposed
Guenther furnished the finest music ever
rendered at any commencement since
the University was built"
In speaking of the Wheeling Opera
House Orchestra, he said: 'Of course
they are fine musicians, but they double
with brass instruments and consequent
ly they are one half brass band and
half Orchestra. The brass predominates
SO largely that it browns to great ex-
tent the stringed instruments. If nine
out of ten want noise instead of music,
why not engage brass band to play
both in and outside the University.

Mrs. Clear at Home.

Mrs. E. D. Clear is at the home of
her father short distance up Deck
er's Creek. She returned on Monday
morning. 1t seems now that all the
fuss about her running away was
chiefly talk. She went away in a
moment of pique with her husband i,
but rot at the instance of Nowlan
as alleged and she is greatly grieved
that her name was coupled with his
in such manner. Mrs. Clears friends
deeply regret the whole occurrence
and none of them believe that she
has been guilty of anything greater
than a bit of indescretion. 1t is TO
be hoped that mutual explanations
will follow and that the Clear house
hold will be reunited and all will be
happy in the future.

BoYD-Alfred c. Boyd, son of
Judge George E. Boyd, of Wheeling,
died of consumption at Atlanta, Ga,
June 16, 1894, after a long illness.
Deceased attended the West Virginia
University several years ago and for
number of years has spent the sum.
mer at Ley's on Cheat river. He
represented the Wheeling Register
here during commencement and the
meeting of the Board of Regents a
year ago.
SHAFER-Died June 10, 1894, at
her home near Louisville, Mononga-
liza county, W, Va, Sophia, wife of
Marmaduke d. Shafer, aged SO
years. Mrs. Shafer bad been sadly
afflicted for about a year but bore
her suffering with christian forti-
tude. The immediate cause of death
was jaundice. Deceased was con-
verified when IA years of age at which
time she connected herself with the
Methodist Episcopal church and up
to the day of her death lead chris
tian life that was marked by many
noble deeds of charity and kind acts
to neighbors. All who came to her
in distress found friend in their
need. The funeral services were
conducted at the Union church June
2lst, by Rev. j. B. Feather and the
house was crowded with the friends
who knew and loved her in life and
assembled to pay their last tribute
of respect. From her home, which
had always been the home of the
minister and of all who sought shell
ter, so carriages conveyed the friends
to the Burnt Meeting House Gem
etry where their sobs mingled with
the rafting clay as it fell upon and
hid from view the mortal remains of
a most devoted wife, affectionate
mother, kindest of friends and that
noblest work of God, christian
woman. Mr.. and Mrs. Shafer were
married 40 years ago and their two
children are N. E. Shafer, of Nor
gantown, aud Mrs. Mary Webb, of
near Loweville, and her death is the
first death to leave vacancy in one
of the most pleasant of homes. AS
an evidence of the esteem in which
she was held, the remark of friend
who attended the interment tells all
in few words, "If the tears dropped
along the four miles that lead from
her home to the tomb had been
flowers, then her pathway would
have been strewn with roses" That
the Angel of Death bore her away
on his snowy wings to mansions in
the sky, there can be no doubt, and
her friends have the sweet conso-
lation of knowing that her couch in
that home beyond is one of fragrant
flowers upon which she rests in
peace.
