A Queer Remedy Proposed.

The shortest way out of the West
Virginia University troubles is to
abolish the whole business. The
famous institution at Morgantown
has never one tenth paid its way in
benefit to the State-Parkersburg
State journal.
This is the most startling reason
ing we have ever heard, and it is
quite difficult to assimilate. BY the
same process of deduction we would
then be advised to abolish the Yves
ton hospital for the insane, or any
other institution where friction in
the management cropped out, Sure
ly the able State journal was in a
humorous mood when it dropped in
to the line of thought it gives ex-
preston to. No one institution has
done more for the advancement of
the state than the university, and,
barring the unfortunate quarrels
that have arisen, it is now one OF
the model educational schools Of the
country. 1t is to be regretted that
the slashes of authority have occur
red, and at present the Intelligencer
can suggest no remedy. but believes
that one will speedily be found, and
that the school will be allowed to
work out the glorious destiny that
is before it commensurate with the
material and moral progress of the
state. Intelligence

MIR. BARNES AT SPENCER.
His Meeting Doing Much Coed Some
Notes Of the Town and County.

SPENCER, w. Va, Jan 19.--Without
your solicitation 4 presume Ito aflict
your readers with few notes OF my
visit to this town.
Spencer ia thirty-three miles from the
Ohio river. A branch Of the Q. r. rail-
road connects it with the outside world.
One of the hospitals for the insane is
located here.
The soil OF this county is the old per-
milan rock, and admirably adapted to
the grazing OF sheep. But the awful red
mud SO abundant in the roads, in the
winter is enough to discourage travel
err. Some oil has been obtained in this
county, and Spencer is supplied with an
abundance OF natural gas.
There are many wealthy farmers in
the county who live in elegant homes.
To day was entertained at the House
of Seven Cables" which is the home OF
Mr.. G. w Holswade, brother OF the
ex-member OF the Board of Regents OF
the University. This beautiful home is
situated near Spencer. in the midst Of a
fine farm containing about sixteen hum
dred acres
The clerk Of the court is Mr. M L Le-
wellen, son Of uncle Jerry Lewellen,
VITO came here from "Old Mongahale,
IN 1861 The leading attorney at the
bar OF this county is Walter Pendleton,
nephew ofthe ex-state Superintendent
of schools, w X Pendleton.
This county has recently changed its
political complexion. and is now en-
rolled among the republican counties.
However | suppose you will not appre-
ciate this as much as your scribe may.
The Methodist Protestant church pre-
dominates in this county. there being
twenty houses of worship in the county,
belonging to this denomination. They
have the finest building in Spencer. in
which a large Sunday school and an
neutrality-suspicious. meet. An inter-
esting revival meeting is now in pro-
gress in this church, Quite number
have confessed Christ as their Savior,
and others have expressed their desire
to live christian lives A deep religious
feeling pervades the town and greater
results are expected.
Very truely,

lature 1t is not clear how nearly
800, 600 was spent to take care of
forty patients, but more light may be
thrown on the subject later on. An
other debt the state of West Virginia
owes is Sl0, 900 borrowed for the Pan
American Exposition. Another def
cheney is in the Industrial School for
Girls, but the official reporI is not in.
Other official reports of institutions
are not forthcoming. II this sort of
thing continues the finance committee
may have to wrestle with a deficiency
bill. But the state is not in debt?
