WONDERFUL
Intelligence Displayed by Clarksburg
Horse Tagged a Train to Save an.
other Animal.

Intelligence Displayed by a Clarksburg
Horse-Flagged q Train to Save an.
other Animal.
A case OF horse displaying almost
human intelligence, was witnessed
yesterday in this city, says the Clarks-
burg Post. A horse belonging to =.
w. McPeck walked upon the w. Va,
& p bridge below John Jacksons
store on the Point and got fastened
between the ties. Soon the approach
OF train was heard and for while
it seemed the poor dumb creature
would be ground to pieces. But the
companion evidently taking in the
situation at glance and realizing
that the train was drawing nearer
and nearer, and must in some manner
be stopped in order to save the life OF
the other animal, deliberately walked
upon the track and onto the trestle
toward the bridge.
1t arrived at the side of the other
one and stopped and did not offer
10 move again. The train was now
almost upon the equines but the men
on the engine seeing the horses on the
bridge slowed down and stopped the
train. Just as the cars came to
stand still, the horse that had tagged
the train turned around and walked
to the end OF the trastle onto the
ground. The other horse was gotten
out and landed safely on the earth.
Those who witnessed the unusual ac-
tions Of the horse that walked onto
the bridge last, firmly believe that it
saw that its companion would have
its life crushed out If the train was
not stopped, and that it concluded
about the only way to do it was to
walk upon the bridge itself and flag
the train, which the intelligent ami
NAL did and saved the life Of its COM
panion.

BOUGHNER'S Big STORE
At Clarksburg Robbed by Skill
full Cracksmen.
Safe Destroyed and Three Hundred
Dollars and Some Checks StoleR--
No Clue to the Thieves AS Yet.

CLARKsBuG, Oct. Cone of the
boldest cases of burglary that has
ever been known to happen in this
city occurred Inst aieht about II: 80
o clock, when burglars broke into
Boughner IL Sons general store at
the Corner OF Fourth and Main
streets. The large safe in which
the firm kept their money and books
was blown open by some powerful
explosive and the burglars succeed
ed in getting away with about $500
in cash and four or five small checks.
The burglars effected an entrance
through the rear door of the grocery
department by springing the door.
The door between the grocery and
dry goods department being open
they had no difficulty in reaching
the safe.
To mnfile the sound they used
bolts OF dry goods but the sound
was so terrific that it attracted toe
attention of every one in the imme-
date vicinity of the store, but did
not arouse their curiosity sufficient
to cause them to make an investiga-
tion, and it was not until Valley
Boughner entered the store at
o'clock Saturday morning that the
burglary became known.
The explosion was strong enough
to completely destroy the heavy iron
safe. One OF the doors was blown
into scrap iron and bolts and pieces
of iron were scattered all over the
room. The burglars succeeded in
escaning without leaving eev clue
to their identity, the only trace be-
ing wood chisel and sledge ham
mer, which we're left at the door
through which they entered.

October zO-A Bad Bargaln-Gen. XIV. 1884

The characters engaged in this bar
ter are twin brothers with widely d-
verse pursuits. principles, and ideals.
One of them was a cunning hunter, a
man of the field. Jacob was a plain
man, dwelling in tents, beloved of his
mother whose influence was domi-
nant in his life. Their personal char
acters were unallke. Esau was a
wild man in disposition. carnal in
mind, essentially worldly. He was
blind to the honors, rights, and priv
ileges of his earthly heritage in the
blrthright. The supplanter was gen
tie. attached to his tents, irreligious,
impatient, and unbrotnerly. Esau
enters the tents of his brother, de-
claring that the birthright which he
cannot enjoy until his fathers demise
has no value to him. Jacob contract
ed with Esau for his birthright, de-
manding an oath for his faithful per-
formance of the bargain. The price
was bread and pottage of lentlls.

Those who sell their spiritual birth

blessings of happiness, peace and this
world.
The value we place upon anything
determines the amount we will ex-
change it for; If we value properly our
Christian heritage, no earthly price
can buy 1t.
When we despise our birthright, we
despise our Father through whom 1t

There was an advertisement in one
of the daily papers, to this effect:

in exchange for lot of choice
liquors" Multltudes of drinking men
have made such an exchange Not
only property, but happiness, home,
the welfare of friends, character,
prospects, everything, have they ex-
changed for intoxicating liquors. SO
men sell their characters and clear
conscience for money, for honors for
pleasures. They sell their souls for
the world, and find that they have
sold themselves for naught

The Farmer and the Automobile.

Ordinarily the chauffeur on pleasure
bent takes only scant interest in that
branch of automobilism which Is con-
cerned with transportation of freight
Nevertheless, there Is an intimate and
necessary connection between the pro-
gress of heavy motor wagon traffic
and the pleasures of those who never
expect to operate an automobile for
utility purposes. These pleasures de-
good roads that are at ones disposal,
and the goods roads problem depends
for its solution almost exclusively upon
the advancement of automobile freight
traffic and automobilism for agricul-
tural implements and the general hus-
bandry of the farmer. SO long as
the farmer is compelled to employ
horses anyway, for plowing his fields
and hauling produce and provisions
to and from town, so long will he be
disinclined to purchase automobiles
for any purpose, but the moment he
can dispense with all horses, save
perhaps one team, and can begin to
see n saving in doing so, h. will also
be willing to listen to the financial
argument in favor of good roads, and,
this argument being immensely
strengthened when he can measure
the traction effort on q poor road in
the dollars and cents expended for
gasolene (or perhaps alcohol, he will
soon be willing to pay his share for
road Improvement. 1t might be a pay
ing investment if all automobile manu-
facturers would endow special insti-
tuition for advancing the application
of mechanical power to all kinds of
work incidental to agriculture. 1t
would at all events be a novel and
meritorious departure, and might be
made successful under competent
leadership, although most other forms
of cooperation which look so tempt
ing to the theorist prove so futile in
practice.-Automobile Topics.

Farmers' Roads.

A dispatch from Wabash, Ind, to
the State Journal says that farmers in
the northern part of Wabash County
are building gravel roads, independents
Of the county commissioners, at rate
which will soon leave few of the old
mud highways In existence, under q
system which makes construction easy
and cheap. One turnpike of ten miles,
extending from North Manchester to
Disko, is now being completed, and
the burden, under the self-assessment
system evolved, has scarcely been felt
among the land owners. These farm
ers entered into an agreement to build
the road, every owner Of property
abutting joining in the pact to pay
$1.50 per acre in work or cash, within
three years. Land assessed extends
back half mile on either side of the
road. The work is done in duh sea-
sons, and the loss of time Is not felt
by the farmers, while the construction
Of the road is pushed rapidly. At the
end of the three years the county COM
missioners are notified of the compile
tion of the WORK, the county surveyor
inspects the road, and if 1t complies
with all requirements, 1t is accepted.

gravel-road repair act, undertake to

erect on properly values.

Do State roads increase the value
of abuttlng property? is question
often asked of the Massachusetts, com
mission. AS partial answer, 1t can
be said that information has been re-
ceived from distant parts of the State
setting forth the fact that certain
farm lands which were on the market
for some years, without customer
Were sold shortly after the completion
of the State road, and at prices above
what they had been offered for. AS
there are neither steam nor electric
railways within several miles of some
of the pieces of property referred to,
it is fair to assume that the judgment
of the local informants, who attribute
the sale and the rise in price to the
state road, is correct.
Although it Is difficult to obtain di-
rect evidence as to a rise in the value
of property, there is no lack of testi-
mOny as to the value of the roads to
the users Of them. From all parts Of
the State reports have been received
which clearly show a material reduc
ton in time between given points, n
decrease in the number of horses on
certain stage, mail and milk routes,
and large increase in loads with the
same number of horses. These re-
suits surely mean that the social con-
ditions are improved, the cost of main
timing regular lines of transportation
by highway is reduced, and the pro-
duct of farms and isolated manufac-
tories is moved in u manner TO in
crease the margin of profit.
Real property is subject to the same
laws, whether it be urban, suburban
or rural. Its market value is regulat-
ed by its earning capacity, its near
ness to beautiful or picturesque seen.
cry, and still further by its religious.
educational and social opportunities.
A rise in value may follow an i'm
provement of any one of these con-
ditions, but it must follow better
ment of all. The commission is con-
fident that the case is not misstated
when it says that wherever q State
road has been begun, betterment
along the lines suggested will follo~-
its completion.
