If this should turn out to be tho case, and wo have known more improbable events to occur, it might happen that the very small margiu by which Col. Ben Wilson went to Congress | two years ago as tho representative of the I First West Virginia district would be ox I hausted to such an extent as to result in a decided iuBulliciency of votes for I his Democratic heir expectant. The public mind Beems at least to be undergoing a change in this direction. If there is not a daily rising tide in favor of sending Gen. Golf to Congress from this district then all the usual signs of a coming change are deceptive. This information is not marked private and confidential and we do not charge anything for it. Our friend of the Richmond Dispatch, for whose Democratic seiisibilities we have the highest regard, should not be rash In estimating the Democratic majority too high this year iu West Virginia. This is an "off" year recollect; and it is hard to tell who may be off on election day. There is a sign of weariness of Bourbonism throughout this Congressional district.

Olahkhhuho, \V. Va., October 1. A most blood-curdling homicido occurred about fourteen miles from here this morning. About 1 o'clock John it. Boggesa, Jr.,killed hlawife aud daughter whilo in a fit of rnenfa/ derangement, fuduced, ft seems, by strong drink. Tho facts as told by Mr. William H. Nay, who was tho first to come to tho rescue of tho family, are as follows: Boggesa has been thought to boat times not altogether right in his mind for years past, and, when drinkiug, entirely insane, About . ono o'clock this morning ho attacked his wife while in bed. She called a daughter, who assisted her mother to get loose from her father, 'i'iiey then lied the house and ho grabbed a largo iron poker and followed them. Overtaking his wife he hither two blows, the second ono on tho back of tho head, which proved fatal. It seems the daughter killed, who was thirteen years old, came up to htlj) lier mother, and with one , blow he killed ber also. The other children lied, and. when Mr. Nay arrived he fouud mother and daughter lying together on the road near their homo entirely dead. He found Boggess in the house in a ( state of intoxication. Ho denied the killing, or knowing anything about it or being , intoxicated. lioggess was a well-to-do-farmer living on Rock' Camp in Wade district, of this , county, and of an old and highly respect- , able family. The occurrence creates great excitement aiid is without any parallel, in this section since Clemms, who lived rear this place, murdered his wife and whole family nearly a century ago. He was hanged; what will he fcltoggess's fate is hard to predict. THEY AUK (OHISiti Tlilit lii,llifiTArltrC?uiiailiwlon toWbeM* Inc.

A New Y ork special purports to give the inside history of the celebrated Morey letter on the Chinese Huestion, whoso publication carried California against Garfield in tho last Presidential election. The dispatch is to the effect that John I.

II. Had ley, a renegade | Republican, in the employ of the Democratic National Committee, and that some I leading spirits in that body were cognizant | of and approved the forgery. Tho story told is lo the effect that Iladley, a pro-1 fessed leader of a certain " body of voters in New York, wmin fjniinml I Garfield, asking an explanation and aus-j wer to tbe Credit Mooiler chaise. .The letter waa answered by private Secretary Brown, enclosing the manuscript of Gen. Garfield's speech on tho subject to his constituents in 1873. He thus got Gaitield'B autograph. The dispatch continues: "Hadley is an expert penman and spent several days studying and practicing the hand writing auu autograph of Gen. Garfield. Stationery stores were ransacked to find paptr similar to that used at Mentor, Ohio, Garfield's old home,and then JUadley wrote the famous forgery. The envelope prepared corresponds with that which liadley received from Mentor and waa put through a process to make it look soiled and worn. When finished Kanilall, Hewitt, and several other reputable Democrats, were shown it, who had no doubt of its genuineness. The dispatch concludes with the statement that the electrotype fac simile was offered to the Sun, which TefuBed to publish it. It was then taken to TtuUt and therein published. A| special train waa chartered to convey cop-! iea of the paper to California.

Provision for these greater numbers is found in 80 more public | schools, 84 more school houses, $3,502 more income for school purposes, $7,7^3 more iisburaed, giving larger pay for teachers on the whole, the permanent school fund also being increased by $20,915. Jtems of ilecreasc, comparatively slight, were two fewer graded schools, two days less of average scL'001 term, twenty-eight fewer male teachers, and a somewhat smaller rating ol school property. When we come lo n comparison ol 1H7071 with 1S79-80, there are difliculties in the arithmetical results at several points, growing out of imperfection in the reports of the former year, especially as to youth jf schpol age: some counties then reported such youth without distinction of white and colored, so that the sum of these, so far as they arc distinguished, does not make the total ol all youth 0 to 21 years old. Comparisons of the relative increase of the races is hence impossible. Comparing totals )nly, we find in the ten years an iucrease )fi43,3u j'uuiiv, Dkiiuuio cjkcecuiag uy ~-,oo/ bis increase, and an average daily"attend* ince almost equalling the whole number of icbool age.

School property, from the increased riuin>er fiiiu better quality of buildings, was ralued $057,202 higher, and the average chool term was 13 days longer than In 870-71, nothing showing any diminution jut the average pay of teachers. .

While opposite Point Pleasant at 2:30 o'clock a. m. sue was discovered to be on firo and was, immediately headed for tbo Louisiana sliorenud landed, at Yucatan'plantation, 35 milea.'bglow Yicksburg. It is estimated that in less than five minutes from the time the lira was discovered the Leo was wrapped in a perfect sheet of Haines. Second clerk Ovid Dull, who was on watch at the time, and who riifmlnvivl a wonderful amount b? foresight, was lirst to give the alarm, lie passed down through the cabin of the ill-fated steamer, knocking in doors and waking up all on board, after which he went up on the hurricane roof and did the same. Here ho found his chances of escape growing smaller by degrees. It was impossible for him to return , down stairs, so letting himself down from , | the hurricane roof on one of the timbers to the boiler deck, he plunged out into the I stream and was saved. The third clerk, Mr. John T.uckett, who 1 | was sleeping in the texus, made his escape ; , with several slight bruises, and several of | the cabin passengers, and deck crow were burnt severely, out not fatally.Two chambermaids, Ophelia Tones and ; Martha Webb, were seen to jump from | the starboard wheel-lieuse into tho river after the boat was landed, but just at that moment the wheeUhousc gave way, and 1 falling over on them the unfortunates were i i seen 110 more. I Mrs. Don.Searies, a'young wife with her , I infant son only one year of age, with the courage aud calmness of a Spartan mother I in the face of danger, took her baby in her , I urms, and throwiug a life preserver about her person, leaped from the after-cabin , I into the murky water beneath. By some I disarrangement of tho life preserver, Mrs. , I Searlcs was thrown upon her hack,' an attitude in which she was rendered per iecuy neipiesH, anil tills, together with the shock occasioned by her heavy fall into , the water, caused her to lo3e her grasp upon the child, and it passed from her , arms into the depths beneath. Half an hour after the burning of the , boat, Mrs. J. Searlea was picked up in midstream, in an almost Insensible condition. The majority, of those who were fortunate enough to make shore alive were many , of them without hat or coat, and in several instances were only ineagerly clad. Mrs. Williams, who had live little children traveling with licron route to Natchez, with unparalleled fortitude and presence of mind, succeeded in saving the lives of all. In lees than ten minutes after the discovery of the fire,' which was almost in its incipiency, the boat was burned to the water's edge, and sunk, and only a few charred timbers-and on ugly hulk are all that wob left of that magnificent lloating palace aud champion of Western waters.

Coi.i'M uus, September UO. Tho Ohio crop report for August aud September bos just been issued by the Secretary of tho Board of Agriculture. Secretary Chamberlain is, by appointment, also acting as statistical agent of Ohio, for the Department of Agriculture at Washington. # llenco tho basis of compar? ison of crops is: A full average crop, ami not the crop of last year. The-estimates made bv tho Secretary of the Ohio State Board, for the wheat crop of 1881, made in August, 1SS1, varied less than one-fourth of one per cent from the Assessors' returns. This August report shows that the wheat crop is heavier* than the July estimate. From the estimates of last year and this, made by the several Agricultural Boards of tho States, we give tne following as the wheat yields for two years: iasi.

First. The history of tho past shows that this seldom occura in Ohio, b'ecoud. Old wheat is sold off closer than for years. ueuee, our total supply ol old and new is not so groat. Third. The war-cloud in the old world is increasing. Fourth. Jieports of rainy harvest weather and damage to crops in England .are not contradicted. Fifth. Our steady increase of population and of export sales will, doubtless, require aur entire surplus at /air prices. Sixth. The probable shortage of the corn and apple crops. Seventh. The fact that SI per bushel is below the price comparatively of other articles of human consumption. Eighth. The crop of wheat in Russia is not so large as last year. The tabulated analysis of fertilizers given in this report afford farmers means of telling the value of fertilizers on the market. The farmer who has more faith in the statements of the interested dealer than in these tables, will pay for more than be gets. The fault will bo his and not that of the Board. Inspection of tlie tables does not show that the counties using the most fertilizers produce the highest averages. The average of wheat is JG.4 bushels for SI Si', and tor 18S1 is was 1!?.!). Summit had the highest average, 10.8, in 1SSI, against 41.5 ia 18S2. Huron hasj this year -13.9, while Lawrence has 5.4, Wheat ranks second among Ohio crops, and at 1.35 the crop of 1SSL was worth four times the annual product of the Ohio coal output Corn ia king, yielding in JSS1 $5S,0J51,5i)7 ugiunsi 50-,*?ys,iKtt tor wheat. Oats fulls below the average because of rust. Corn will be about three-fourths of an average crop. Rye has 88 per cent and barley but 77 por.centof a full crop. Potatoes would stand above 103, but for heavy rains causing rotting. Tobacco promises 05 per cent. Apples will be scarce, only 111 per cent in and ''still failing badly. l'eaches less than oue-third crop. Stock bogs show only 71 per cent in numbers and SI per ceut in condition, which would indicate only about 00 per cent of a full hog crop. * ? Fifty million pounds of butter and twenty-three million pounds oi cheese show that the cows have not all gone dry. LePuc would mourn to know that the sorghum crop declines in spite of his wellmeant endeavors. There are 10,0-12 acrcs in vineyards producing 11,078,545 pounds of grapes, and BSI,Sl)5 gallons wine. There are 4-15,510 acred occupied by orchards which paid in 18SI $2-1 .'Jit por acre. Vineyards paid $210 1U per acre. Tobacco gave the raisers $7S G4 per icre. The egg crop of 1S$1 was worth $0,325, JOO. There are 101,927 dogs which killed and maimed 00,028 sheep. In other words, it lakes one sheep for every three dogs to keep up the mutton supply,which cost the farmers $102,511 in the year 1881. So ;nuch for the luxury of doga.- lithe legislature can manage to diminish the do# irop next year and increase the mutton ind wool crops, without loo yreal an inringoment on the rights of the freeman ,vho harbors dogs and keeps a gun for imusement, the State would be the gainer n money and morals.
