HOME AGAIN.
First Regiment is Tasting the
Welcome of People at Home

Several towns give great blowOuts-
Parkersbnrg leads in these-several
Morgantown boys have not yet return
ed-TwO have Come in-They wanted
to get Back Quickly-Others will re-
main in the Service-The Dissolution
of a Splendid Regiment Completed.
The first regiment has been dis
charged and has scattered to the homes
Of the men who made it up. 1t has
been one Of the best regiments in the
field and the people Of the state have
good reason to be proud OF the record
that it has made. The colonel in TAX
ing leave of the men issued very
touching order thanking them for the
manner in which they had conducted
themselves and assuring them that be
would always be with them in spirit.
The men have begun to arrive at
home. The first of the delegations be-
gan to reach the state on Monday but
the main bodies did not get in until
Tuesday when they were given enthu-
siastic receptions at many Of the prin-
cipal towns. Parkersburg gave them
perhaps the most royal welcome as the
whole town turned out to meet the
soldiers with brass band and num-
Der of speeches were fired at their de-
voted heads.
Morgantown did not have the oppor-
tunity to do any thing of this kind as
she sent out but few men owing to
the refusal of the governor to allow
US to furnish & company. She had
several men in the regiment however
and two of these have returned.
They are James Carrico and Gay
Kerns. The rest of the boys from
here have not turned up yet. Adju-
tant White will not be back until the
first OF next month according to let
ter recently received from him and
several of the other boys will go into
the regular army or other regiments
of the volunteers.
This is said to be the intention of
Arthur Dorsey and several members
of the band who are from this place.
The officers had more to do before
they could leave Columbus and are
taking their time in coming home.
The men wanted to come and as soon
as there was a let up on the reins they
took straight shoot for home. They
had an elegant sufliciency of army life
and few of them would go in again
with the prospect Of much camp life
ahead of Them

The COLDEST THAT EVER.
Thursday night was the coolest
ever experienced in this state.

rs Degrees below record ut several
places in the county and at adjacent
points-Not so cold in town but II was
cold enough Oldest inhabitant not a

smash-Frost Bites plentiful.
From FRIDAYS Daily.
According to the prediction made
by this paper yesterday, last night
was the coolest of the year. 1t was
also the coolest night ever expert
enced in this county so far as the
records go. The mercury has been
known to reach some very low
points but nothing like as cold as it
was last night
The oldest records that we have
have nothing like it was last night.
The mercury did not get above the
zero mark anywhere yesterday ex-
cept where the sun got a fair strike
at it aud then it went only few
degrees above that point. AS soon
as the sun got off of it it began to
go down and during the night it
reached points never before touched.
In town at o'clock in the morn
ing it was 81. Several points in the
county reported even lower tempera-

that is quite cold enough for all
practical purposes. Arnettsville,

Other points in the county are not

A Peculiar World.

An exchange has found out that
this world is peculiar. When a farm
err wishes to retire he moves to town.
When town people wish to retire they
move to the country. A farmer has
poor health and he moves to town to
rest up and get we'll, where he will
not be bothered with hard work. The
town man when he has poor health
will go to the country with his tent
and pitch it under some shade tree,
where he may enjoy the country and
rustIcate in the enjoyment Of a per-
petual picnic.

The LEGISLATURE.
A letter raises a howl and is
proven to be authentic.

Delegate Oldfleld tells how 1t was pro.
posed to get ahead Of the Democrats
Wants the matter investigated but
finds that his own careIessness let
the secret out-The University-Th
prep has some very warm friends
Raymond and Stnrgiss are fighting
for him as is also Senator Fast.
The legislature is pursuing the
even tenor Of its way with nothing to
ruffle its serenity except little Incl
dent which took place this week. A
partly finished letter from one of the
members to his wife was found and
published few days ago. This stat
ed that it was the intention of the re-
publicans in case the democrats push
ed their unseating any further to with
draw and organize another house and
that they would be recognized by the
governor.
This letter was dated during the
early days of the session. Many peo-
pie thought that it was forgery but
when the house came together after
the publication Mr.. Oldfield one Of
the leaders of the minority party in
the house arose and asked for COM
mittee to investigate the matter as
he stated that he had written the let
ter in question and believed that it
had been stolen out OF his desk.
Messrs. Outright. Bowman aud Grant
were appointed to look into it. 1t has
been found that the letter was picked
up on the floor and not stolen.
A dispatch from Charleston in the
intelligencer has the following:
THAT UNIVERSITY MEASURE.
The committee on education in now
attracting more interest from the out
house. Not that it has more on its
hands than any of the committees, as
that burdensome hoL or belongs always
to the committee ON the Judiciary,
but the former has now under consid-
Grafton matter which is attracting
attention from all parts of the state
the question Of abolishing the prepar-
atory department Of the state univer-
sity. The measure was introduced by
Mr.. Davis, of Harrison, several days
ago, but has not yet been considered
by the committee, which desired to
give the opponents Of the bill outside
of the legislature chance to be heard
The object Of the bill, as has been
stated BEFORE is to raise the standard
of the university. The opponents of
the measure regard it as very doubt
full improvement, il not a positive
evil. They claim that the preparatory
branch is absolutely essential because
OF the limited standard of the schools
of the state, except in the largest
towns that have high schools; and
that to abolish it would be an ire
deemable error
Senator Fast, who is bitterly against
the bill, aud Is member of the fac
ulty OF the university, states that the
expense to the state of maintaining
the preparatory department is merely
nominal, only few additional in
structors being employed. The re-
maInder Of the corps Of instructors is
made up of the regular members Of
the faculty.
Hon. George G. Sturgiss president
of the board Of regents Of the univer-
sityf is here fighting the bill; and it
is expected that President Raymond
and other officials of the university
will appear before the committee to
argue against it,
