The Stars.


In 1894 there will be four eclipses-
two of the sun and two of the moon. OF
these four only the partial eclipse of
the moon September IA, will be visible
here. The most interesting event Of the
year will be the transit of Mercury across
the suns face November 10. The oppo-
sition of Mars in October is of much in
terest and is expected to reveal as much
of the canals and snow-caps as the IA
nous opposition of August, 1892. During
the early part of the year Jupiter and
Venus will be by far the most brilliant
stars. Just now Venus holds the palm
for brilliancy and beauty. Every one
has seen this beautiful star hanging like
a lantern of the gods in the southwestern
sky in the early evening. So large and lu-
minous has it appeared of late that it has
often been mistaken for fire balloon.
The mistake is natural, for Venus gives
as much light as would thirty OF the
largest fixed stars, and is now five times
as bright As Jupiter, the next brightest
Of the planets The sun himself cannot
outshine her, for by close looking at
noon any clear day, you may see her
about 35' above the horizon, and may
follow her-a little white dot-until she
flames out after nightfall. She will be
visible until the middle of February. Ju-
piter can be seen ruling the sky at
o'clock just overhead, and after Venus
has gone down is the brightest orb to be
seen.

BEAR BATTING.
Amusements of Our Forefathers in
St. Clairsville Three-Quarters
of Century Ago.

On sunshiny winter morning IL years
ago, there was much mild excitement IN
st. Clairsville, and running to and fro
of boys and dogs (most of them long ago
mouldered to DUST, and hurrying to get
the work of the day well in hand. Mr..
Anthony Weyer, ,a..hat manufacturer, ,andia
stannch citizen or the town, with thriv-
ing factOry:for the making of all kinds of
hats and caps, located on the Marietta
road, had been out through the miles OF
wild forest land north of town, to buy
from trappers and hunters the hides and
furs of wild animals, and had got from
one old trapper big black live bear.
The bear had been caught in one of those
traps similar to the partridge trap OF to-
day, only made of logs instead of corn
stalks. A sort of log pen would be built
with each end sloping up to the hole in
the top. SO that they might easily be
climbed from the outside but not to be
scaled at all from within. The bear
would be enticed into the pen with some
food, and once in he was prisoner. So
now in st. Clairsville there was to be
bear batting. The black beast, savage
with teasing and hunger, was chained to
a stout post in the Union lot on the
south common, and all the ours in toWn
and country brought up to be set on him.
The sport was to see the conflict between
bear and dogs. Some man owning dog
of approved valor and strength, would
bring him up boasting of his exploits,
and of what he would do. But the dogs
knew more than their masters. Usually
they fed bowling, or il, ,incited by yells of
the crowd, they rushed upon the bear,
sweep of his powerful arm would gener-
ally end their bowling forever. The
NANCY ours proved themselves the
bravest, for two of them charging at
once, one sank his teeth in the bears
launches, and brought out squeal of
rage. The crowd pushed around, and
growing careless one man came within
the length of the bears chain, and got
bite clean through the calf Of the leg,
leaving mark which he carried to his
grave.
Finally, with laughing at the inglorious
discontinue of the dogs, and chatting
their disappointed owners, the afternoon
wore away, with the bear master Of the
field. A skillful marksman was then St
lected, who with ball from his long III
tie behind the bears ear or between his
eyes ended his life and the days sport;
indeed the prosecuted animal might par
aphrase the gladiator's remark, and say,
"Butchered to make st. Clairsville holiday"
His fur was made into warm winter
caps; his flesh was much esteemed as
food, tasting something between beef
and pork, and his fat was rendered into
tallow that sent to the eastern cities
brought high prices as ointment for
well nigh any disease or hurt.

Forgot His Sermon.

There was an unexpected occurrence at
the Fourth street M. E. Church, Wheel
ing, Sunday night. Rev. DIR. Riker, the
pastor. being i'll, had secured Rev. c. b.
Henthorn, of Bridgeport, to fill his pull
pit. Mr.. Henthorn had preached at the
same church two weeks before, and was
SO well liked that Sunday night the
church was unusually crowded.
He announced his text, "And he that
winneth souls is WISE"
Pausing a moment Mr.. Henthorn said
that since he had come into the church
something had happened to him that
never did before. He found his mind an
absolute blank, and it would be useless
for him to try to preach. He gave out
another hymn, and after it and the dox-
olgy were sung, dismissed the congrega-
tion with a short prayer and the bene-
diction. Mr. Henthorn said he was not
ill, but simply found it impossible to
even make beginning of his sermon.
The experience was entirely new to him,
though other similar cases are said to be
on record.

TWO Drafted.

A clergyman in the East having been
reported to have been the only minister
drafted during the civil war, the Cincin-
natl Tribune has the following in refer
ence to q minister well known in this
section, he having a few years ago been
pastor of the NJ. Z. Church at this place,
also:
Rev. John ID. Vail, now of the East
Ohio M. E. Conference, while stationed
at Bellaire, o., as pastor of the NJ. E
Church at that place, in 1864, was drafted
and went to the front as private sol
dier. He was commissioned as Chaplain
of the 180th Ohio Regiment, but the
commission never reached him in time
for him to be mastered in as Chaplain
He was on Sherman's march from At
lanta to the Sea, and north through the
Carolinas.

Sixty Teachers.

The great offer being made by The
Pittsburg Dispatch to take the sixty
teachers of the public schools of Pitts
burg. Allegheny and other points in
Pennsylvania. Ohio, West Virginia and
Maryland, to Atlantic City is the talk of
the hour. The additional indueement
that the twelve teachers of the sixty who
receive the largest number of votes will
be taken on a supplementary trip to
Philadelphia, New York and Boston
after the Atlantic City trip is over is in
dicative of the liberality which governs
the Dispatch in everything it does. Give
your favorite teacher the benefit of a
splendid summer outing

Bank Directors.

At the election of Directors for the
First National Bank of this place, on
Tuesday, George Brown, George Jepson,
d. NJ Sutton, J. w. Nichols and |. II.
CASTOR were chosen Directors. The Board
is the same as last year with the excep-
tion that L. H. CASTOR takes the place of
John A. Thompson. The election de-
veloped into spirited contest, and over
$50 shares OF stock were represented. w.
A. Hunt received over $50 votes although
he was not candidate for the place, and
had requested his friends not to vote for
him. The Board as chosen is good one,
and will maintain the high standing of
the First National.

peputx Revenue Collector.

T. C. Meyer, of the Bellaire Herald, has
been appointed Deputy Revenue Col
lector, cice 5. F. Dean, of Martins
Ferry. Mr.. Meyer was not an applicant
for the place but was an applicant for
for the post office. and it is probable that
the position of Revenue Collector was
given him to ease him down on the post
mastership. The appointment was made
on the recommendation of Congressman
Pearson. There were good many
candidates for the place and probably
they feel somewhat chagrined that man
not an applicant received the plum. The
office pays 81 100 year, with $500 addi-
tional for expenses and $50 for office
rent. This district embraces the coun-
ties of Belmont, Harrison, Jefferson and
Carroll.

Vaccination Suspended.

The State Board of Health has issued
the following order in reference to vac
cination: Sowing to the fact that la
grippe is assuming epidemic proper
tions in many sections of the State, and
that measles and whoopIngcough have
become more widely prevalent than usu-
al, the State Board of Health has deemed
it wise to temporarily suspend its vacci-
nation order. Local boards of health
will govern themselves accordingly"
The vaccination of persons afflicted
with these diseases, while not likely to
be fatal, often produces a very serious
illness.

HIGH DAMAGES.
Deputy Revenue Collector = Election OF
Bank Directors.

Lizzie Bechner, of West Wheeling, has
through her attorney, T. C. Ayers, Esq,
entered suit in Common Pleas Court
against VIM. H. Curley, of the same
place, for $4,000 damages for breach OF
promise of marriage. The plaintiff al
leges that on September 30 last, on the
request of the defendant, she promised
to marry him on the last day of October;
that she, the plaintiff, has stood ready to
fulfill her part of the contract, but that
the defendant, Curley, refuses to carry
out his part of the agreement. The
plaintiff is a widow, about 45 years of
age, and has three children. The defend
ant is widower, and also has three chill
dren. AS the plaintiff has been married
and has experienced the joys of connubi-
al bliss, she doubtless is thus enabled to
estimate pretty accurately the extent of
her damages.

Infestsd With Weeyil.

An exchange advises every farmer who
secured samples of grain from the agri-
cultural building at the Worlds Fair to
burn the same at once. 1t has been found
that the whole exhibit has been attacked
by weevil, pest whose larva is worm
that burrows in the grain, and has done
enormous damage to the crops In south
western Russia and India, whence doubt
less it was brought to the Worlds Fair.
1t is stated that thousands of samples of
grain have been carried from the agri-
cultural building, and there is presuma-
bly, scarcely corner of the United States
where the pest has not been carried.

Next Lecture.

Jahu Dewitt Miller is big of head and
body. keen of eye and tongue, and humor
wells out of him like water from spring.
His wit is of that rollicking, contagious
character which none can resist. He
sees the ludicrous side OF everything, and
uses it to rob the situation of its too
severe OF too mournful character-Rev.

Wet Coal.

1t said that coal should be wet before
burning it, as thus used it makes clear
er fire. Unwet coal expands in cooking
but wet coal expands more, and that in
proportion to the amount of hydrogen.
By the expansion pores and cells are
formed which admit the adjacent air
freely, drawing it in and using it in the
production of carbonic acid. The more
uniform and the more porous the coal
the more accessible it is to oxygen and
the more complete will be the combus-
tion, by which the smoke is reduced to a
minimum,
