CATION admitted there was no reason for
this, and it should be corrected With refer
ence to the abrcgation of the regulation
requiring the slowing of speed at crossings
Commissioner Black said he thought the
law should stand, and that drivers of vehi-
cles and riders of bicycles would have to
observe 1t or violate it at their own risk
Everybody had to use their discretion at
congested crossings, as no regulation could
be made to cover all cases.
Mr.. NJ. l. Weller, who was present, sug-
gested that bicycles should be taxed and
mat an inspector should be appointed out
of the fund to see that the riders observe
the law.
The Commissioner took the matter under
consideration

AGRICULTURAL NATTER
a New Line Of Work at tho Expori-
ment Station

The mountain glade districts OF
the Allegheuies are naturally well
suited to a class of Agricultural
pursuits that cannot be carried on
even upon the rich river bot toms.
West Virginia has within iss bonn.
daries large areas OF land of this
character, which to-day is ~ many
eases u burden to the persons own.
ing IT. Recognizing the importance
Of what has been accomplished
with such lands in Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan, AS well AS IN New
York, tie Experiment Station au-
thorities have leased a limited area
of characteristic glade-land nesr
Reedsville, in Preston county, upon
winch to make series Of expert
ments to test the best methods Of
draining to reclaim such lands. as
well as to study the crops which
can most proftably be grown upon
such soils when reclaimed.
During the season OF 1893, to-
bacco, potatoes, cabbage, cauli-
flower, celery and sugar beets will
receive special attention.
The cranberry boys which were
started two years ago are giving en-
eouraging results. The plants have
made strong growth, and some
fruits were borne this season. The
size, color and texture of the fruits
all indIcste that the region is
capable of producing high grade
berry.
Some native bogs which have es-
capped the grazing Of cattle and an
nual burning are yet vigorous, but
the main portion of the original
berry producing patches have been
destroyed. and the annual yield Of
wild fruit has been correspondence
decreased. Some wild plants have
been selected from those yet re-
maining and transplanted TO the
Experiment Station grounds. The
growth has been satisfactory, but 1t
is too early to predict what their
capacity for fruit production will
be.

AS a sample of how news arti-
Gle can get distorted and twisted
all out of any semblance to the
truth or facts as published, we clip
the following from the State press :
James Cobun and Mollie Fats
were the happy principals in re-
cent wedding Mt MasOntown. They
were to have been married twenty
wears ngo, but had a lovers quarrel
on the eve Of the Wedding, and
have since been widely separated -
one living in the east, the other in
the far west. Neither had married
and both are rich. They are aged
40 and 81 respectively.
There are at least seven or eight
mistakes in this short article. First,
both names are given wrong, as his
name is Newton Cobun and hers
was Mollie Zotts. Second, they
were never engaged to marry be-
fore, had no quarrel or parting on
that account, and neither ever lived
in the east, nor is either of them
rich. The lady had not married,
but Cobun had married and lost
his wife two or three years ago.
Miss Zotts had been in Missouri a
few years, but this is not consid-
cred the far west. MIR. Cobun never
located outside of this county.
