Those West Virginia counties that pay
the scantiest wages to teachers have the
poorest teachers and the poorest results. '
In addition, they have the hardest time
keeping their schools supplied with teach- ,
era of any kind. A $15 to $20 per month
teacher is a poor investment. A good '
teacher is everything to a school, especially
a school kept only four months, and it is a
fraud on the poor children, whose oppor- .
limitit'h at best are bo limited, to palm a
poor teacher on them. The farmers of
West Virginia fchould seriously think of'
this matter. Give the children a chance.
1'eiuetnber the adage, "poor pay, poor
preach." It applies just as well to teach*
ora. I'oor pay, poor teach.
Onk of our West f Virginia exchanges
complains that some of the papers, pub
lirflietl, in various counties of the State,
l?> not seem to thiuk it worth while to
publish tubulated olUcial returns of the
vote of their respective counties, and says
that it has waited in vain for their appearsince.
It thinks that this .news would be
much more interesting reading to their
patrons than far oil* news .from the four
quarters of the earth, much of which is
very Male. This is a timely criticism,' and
one that lias occurred to us while looking
over some of our local exchanges in a vain
newel) for these tables. Do not the papers
omitting theso returns realize what a loss
t" their record of local events this omission,
will ho in their tiles? At everv election
Huso returns tiro in douiund in every
county, and those who lmvo them not on
luuul tire pi one to apply to the newspaper*
for them. Therefore they should be pub*
lished now in every county.
Oi'ii mention yesterday of the project to
manufacture steel nails in "Wheeling has
excited some.interest, and seentB to., call
(or some additional words of explanation.
The nail manufacturers here are generally
jve tnav say unanimously of the opinion
thai tha days of iron nails are numbered, .
Mid tim day of steel nails very close at
luuul. There are already two or three
concerns in the United States that manufacture
stee! nails, and while the product'
as yet in small it is nevertheless bound to
increase rapidly. They Bell now for oue
dollar per keg more than the ordinary nail,
and are perferred at that price by thoso
uho appreciate the difference between
au article made of steel and one
iimtU: of iron. Steel is now made almost
uh cheaply as iron. For instance, steel
rails are tsolil within ?2 per ton of the price
of iron rails. This results from the whole
sale way ia which steel can be made by
tlu! lii'BSumer and "open hearth" processes.
A uteul nail is 20 per cent lighter than an
iron nail; consequently a keg, will-contain
120 pounds of (hem as against 100 pounds
of iron nails. This is a saving of freight to 'i
the buyer and to that extent a cheapening
of the ureduct. They are also susceptible !
oi a higher finish,1 without a loss of strength,
and eau be made more shapely, prcsenta- i
able and merchantable. Just as the present j
vot nail ia a great improvement on the old
wrought nail, so is tho steel nail an improvement
on the iron nail.
The project hero is to build a large con- 1
cm:, to be owned in shares by tho nail
mil!*, iind to cost about a million of dpi*
iur?, xvhcim Bessemer steel will "be made
out of the aritf jnetal produced hereabouts.
It ui!!be.rotfCfW? pjatca hi this concern ,
md furnished to the mills ready to l>e cut
up into nail*. Tho concern will bs organized,
if organized at all, somewhat upon
tho plan of the West Virginia Fire Brick.
Association up at New Cumberland,~?nd
will buy the iron inado: by each , furnae*
at a price to be liccd, and sell it the
nail plate at an agreed on price, Jt is
believed that by combiniug in this way-a ,
j?ouiul of nails can be juado as cheap out
of fctcel as thoy aro noft made out of iron.
This project is not yet matured, but steps
have been taken iu that' direction, and the
' gullibility is that a- steel works will bo
"built at an early day?^JIudoed it L> not a
waiter of choice but a neceeflity that sonio
such steps should be taken. The moro

The United Presbyterian Synod of Ohio

lava ago, in the city of YVooster, Ohio. The

him fifty-three pastors and thirteen tniuisters

reports of committees on the different
Boards of the Church.ltev.
\V. S. -0\vins,;of the Steubenvillc
Presbytery, read a primer, on Tuesday aftcrnooii/on
"The Spirit itf* the 'Church."
The clear and vivid manner in which the
indwelling of the spirit in the church, and
the results of such indwelling, was presented
in this paper, together with the earnest
conference of-prayer and" interchange ol
thought on the subject which followed, gave
tone and character to,all vthe;after sessions
of the Synod, so that it'was "the universal
feeling that the meeting was one of great
nn5rilM.il nmfif
n r???
Tuesday evening was given to tho presentation
and discussion'of .'tho report oi

Secretary of the. Board, Uev. J. B. Dales,
D. D., of Philadelphia, was present, and

Secretary so "long". "His account oi his
meeting" with the missionaries who had
been driven from K^vpt by the troubles in
that land, and of. their deepihteregt^in
their work and their joy at being;; permitted
to return to it again, and the goodness
of God in preserving tbe lives of both missionaries
and nativ.e Christians,..was truly
affecting and calculated-to awaken deeper
interest in the work in thlit hmd.-'

his way to the door. Here he was met by u

almost at Iheir feet, but be- p

, no injury resulted to them. Upon exami- U|
nation a pieso of lead pipe about six inches ol
' long, and covered with oTfclolb, was found
on the. floor, which had been corked at
one end, and the other had contained a t,(
fuse. This was the missile which had been o!

Though the Uintah and Wblto ttiver .

a restlessness among them which for*
odes no good. JTho agents of tbeso tribes 1
leclaro it will restore in them old time |
>oldness. There is "Cohoe," "Little Jim," ,
Colorow," ".Douglas" and other men of
heso. tribes who have always been mean I
ncl who would only bo too" ready to prd- t
eed to rob and kill did opportunity offer c
nd could they find following. It is the
tuwisest movement, tho withdrawal of tho
roopsatthis time, that could have taken
dace. To be euro thoso troops which have i
>ecn here for over a year are tired, carc- ]
rorn and broken from hard labor, but
ithers should have been sent1 to relievo
hem. The Ute Commission is now in this 1
icinity, composed of men familiar with t
he habits and traits of tho Ute, and thoy (
rero willing to endorse a move which they
ipssibly might hav? cause to regret.

The Uneompabgres are recognised as a (
>faeeably inclined people and number j
,500. The Uintahs and White Hi vers ag* t
;regute about 1,000, and amoug them are ,
nanyevil spirits. Many of them wear the t
Hire of the white man arid appear docile, (
'et they are full of treachery, 'l'hcre is not

upplied with a rifle and cartridges to ,

me which I have, despitoeneigetic efforts, f
teen unable to solve. In case of heed ot j
ssistauce hereafter the nearest military j
iosta to the Indian reservations will be .

ml be in perfect quiet aud order /or two t
lavs before troops could reach them, and ^
lien, as heretofoie the ease,, the murderers 8
k'ould never be detected.

iitifcfy Ihe Indians and is making preparaions
to irrigate large tracts of land for

The Uncompahgres have no grass

that an attack on the Chicago Jc Altai

Inst night, but for some reason not curried
out.|Theengineer o( the Alton Express who

effect: As his train was mailing at a epeed
ol thirty miles per hour, about midway
between Blue Cut and Glendale, he dis
covered on uio bluir above tho truck tho
half concealed forma of nix men armed with
rifles and revolvers intently watching the
train and seemingly awaiting a signal to
attack, bat for some reason no movement
was made aud the train swept on unobstructed.
Tho engineer, "Chalky Foot,"
is generally considered a reliable man and
ono "not easily frightened. He says
he said nothing about the matter
last night fearing he would be laughed at
on accouut ol his pott experience, as he
was engineer of the train uttacked in the
lUue Cut robbery. He stoutly maintainp,
however, that he saw these men as described,
and says he can identify two of
them, and that they had their weapons
down as though ready for immediate (ire.

less sure of tile character of the men ns tiescribed

intent of the men was a matter of his imagination,
a.id that they were tramps
waiting to steal a ride on a' height train.
