Copper aIetaI necIIne.

It was said that the progress being
made in the work OF recognizing the az
fairs OF the Western Maryland Company
was responsible for the advance in this
particular quarter.
An Official reduction Of a fun cent in
the price Of copper to-day by. one Of the
large metal-selling agencies. accompanied
by an advance in the price OF copper
abroad and the publication Of statistics
Of the general stock OF copper on Febru-
sry 7. showing a decrease Of 200 tons
from the previous month. seem to have
been the forces behind a sharp advance
in the morning hours in Amalgamated
Copper shares
The speculative presumption was. in
other words, that the statistical condition
Of copper was found not 10 be so Door as
had been alleged, and that the reduction
IN the price Of the commodity here
would bring buyers into the market
However. when the market reduced in
the afternoon. Amaigamated Copper STOCK
displayed as much weakness as any other
security, and Il appeared 70 be the. case
that speculative bear" selling OF the
stock was resumed.

New York. Feb a-The course OF the

70 the rule which has been generally
observed recently. that the activity Oh
the market is chiefly centered in the
early part Of the day. Afterward, whether
prices have remained strong or have

relapses into a species OF Eethargy.
Up 70 noon to-day the strength OF the

the early trading the features were Den

be true that the arrangements referred 70

not be surprising on the face OF things
II certain amount OF Missouri Pacific

IS equally no doubt that the present AZ

One especial reason for the rise in Mis-

served the Ohio Valley College as
ITS president and the Sturgis Baptist

both places has been excellent and it
is almost the unanimous opinion Of
Sturgis people if Dr.. Midvett had
been in charge of the Ohio Valley
College from the beginning we would
now have a college here the equal Of
any in the state. His work at the
college has been so appreciated by
the board Of trustees that at a meet.

given to the college.

The compass used by MCLEAN is nov
owned by a man at Masontown Penn
sylvanis, where live several Of the
Rittonhouse defendants, but not one
of them has ever dared make another
compass. They as a family are out
of the compass business. This Me-
Clean compass was afterwards used to
lay off the city Of Allegheny which
is now a part of Greater Plttsburg.
But the men heard talking about
the Mason X Dixons lire knew as
much about 1t and as much about
compasses as the average mau about
the pet subject with which he delights
to make the air blue when he can
6ud a fool willing to listen to him.
Did you ever meet this fellow No.
Then 60 out on the street and hunt
him up. He is on the next corner.
Strike him on politics or his "cnurch
creed, aud here him hum. Without
having read a line of any platform or
creed he will strive to convince you
that what he don't known on the sub
ject would not make a Zulu primer.
His is like the knowledge some folks
have Of the Bible. A man bet his
friend s. tina, he could not repeat the
Lords prayer, and when the other
said Now l lay me down to sleep,
l pray the Lord my soul to keep,
his friend said sorrowfully; 1.-The
money is yours. but | did not believe
you could do it. Once in Sunday
School the Superintendent said in
opening Let US turn the 47th chap
