The seventh annual institute of the Oh!o county farmers, now being held at whit Liberty, convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock for the first session, in the chapel hall of the State Normal School. The attendance far surpassed tliat of previous years, nearly every representative farmer o$the county Mflng present, and great lnten?t was displayed in tho discussions. None of the papers read -were passed over without being enlarged upon in the discussions that followed, and the practical hints evolved are bound to bo of benefit to the local agriculturists. The dty sessions were chlelly given to the dispensing of knowledge pertaining to the farm, and in the evening the programme xvna varied by musical and elocutionary selections. The morning session began promptly at 10 o'clock, with the prayer offered by Rev. C. H. Lakln, pastor of the West lilberty-M. R church. Music followed, preliminary to tnc aaareso oy air. 55. o. Jacob, president of the Oliio County Farmers' Society, under whose auspices lfc? institute Ik held. President Jacob Delivered an exemplary address, aareful3y covering all tho work of the past year and the prospects or the new year. He hoped that their deliberations would be a source of prollt and pleasure to all attending. Tho first pajper, "Shall we Buy from '.Agents?" was to have been read by Mr. W. B. Gibson! In his unavoidable ababser.ee, Mr. W. M. Dnulap argued the question from an afllrmatlve ^standpoint. He gave ?i livid explanation of his position, claiming that the present mode of doing business is almost universally through the medium of ageiws. I'o thought it tho best way. He admitted that farmers had often been swindled by agents, omd that tho companies which tho agents represented, had secretly sanotioned the swindles. But the modera up-to-date farmer should keep his weather eye open. By the competition of agents, and seeing the goods displayed, Mr. Dunlap contended, good bargains could be obfalned. The agent question precipitated a general discussion that lasted until noon. The agents mostly considered were those disposing of farm machinery, the festive vendor of tho album and the booklet being passed by in silence. Messrs. Jum< s D'.x.m and Brooks Hedges spoke for halt 011 hour on the question pio and con. and their deliverance showed that they h?td given the subject considerable thought. Others made brief addresses ^ir?r?n th/? advisability of buying front agents. the majority favoring: the uflirmative. The afternoon session began shorlly after 1 o'clock. The sheep question. ;i vital one to Pan-Handle farmers, being vnetilated 1n the d!ficu3sio.i of the ilrst pjippr on the programme, "Best Breed of Glutton Lambs for Our Market." Abram McCuiloch, Elmer Nichols and John J. Jacob spoke upon this topic at some length. It was brought ou: la tlie discussion that the Shropshiros and Southd<>wn3 had the call as bclnp tho ber't; they were the largest a?n<t 1lne.1t *peci?-s that could be rai?ed in this section of die country. One speaker said thai the Cot??wolds. which have been qunte^ as belnga.^uperl^r breed, weio Tvnlly Inferior, and as a mutton- pro? liuCitiK sheep ?eff not ot much Sjocoont. 'Many useful and practical hints wero thrown out from the "Query Box.' aprocewfcug that was of brief duration The wool question, from a flnapcial-^not a political?standpoint figured In the queries. An excellent essay, "Domestic Help (indoors)." was next read by MIks Mattie J*oggs. Sho had a carefully prepared J?aprr. one of much interest to the ladies present, of whom there were a goodly number. Miss Boggrv faunmod up the trlnJsumd tribulations of tho rural house, wife, and suggested remedies in the selection of domestic assistance. "The New Woman on tho Farm," tho theme of Mif* Lou Rldgeley's paper, was probably tho most enjoyable pa per.of the day. Miss Ttidgoly added new laurels to lho?o tvon during past sessions of the Institutes by her masterly essays. I'os??ie?ofl of good presence, and clear and pleasing enunciation, she added Increased charms to a well-written production. Shrt grasped her subject in true modern style. She olaimcd that :n farming as in other pursuits, woman should bo In-, flue need by tlie advances of tho times, and created considerable merriment l?y her advocacy of bloomers. For every proposition or innovation advanced, however, Misn JUdgely presented pond reasons. Upon the conclusion of hot* ?*rfort. sh" was warmly applauded. and .afterwards the recipient of many merited compliments. The remainder of the afternoon w . ? Klvon to tho consideration of "I'JConomy in Feeding." atopic that wan introduced by Mr. .1. Thornburg He showed h??w Ptock could be fod with decreased expenditure to t.ho farmer, wore h* to use a little foresight and avoid needless waste. Several experiences of economy prarric-. d. and th^ way in which il ivaa done were related. Tho evening session pponod with n piano solo by Mrs. Dr. Kpstein, rendered in her usually edieiont stylo.

ELECTRICITY WILL BE USED Pjoii* 'J'rladelphla to Wheeling Park, While the Steam Motor will Continue hi Vogne BrtWHn the Park and the City. Practical I v a Consolidation of Two Lines?Half Hoar Service is Also One of the Probabilities in the Near Fntnre. Electricity and steam will probably share honors for a time on the Wheeling & Elm Grove road, and nfter a thorough Jest tiie Better power wm win out. It ia learned that there is to be a practical consolidation of the Wheeling & Elm Grove Railroad Company, iind the Suburbati Electric line, which now operates an electric road from the terminus of the "Wheeling & Elm Grove at Elm Grove to Triadelphia. It Is proposed that the two lines be about equally divided, onft to be operated by electricity and the other by steam. From Triadelphia to Wheeling' parlc station electricity will hold j?wuy,whHo the steam motors will continue to run between the park station and the city. This consolidation will benefit both lilies, It tilt? pians mm u;?: IIW? uii-n-i consideration materialize. It Is proposed to run the electric cars 011 a halfhour schedule between Trludelphla and Wheeling park, and on account of the shorter run for the steam motors brought about by running only to wheeling park station, a similar halfhour service will be given by the steam motors. This is something that the su- > burban residents out the pike have | wanted for n long time, and they will i hope earnestly that the plans of the I motor line' people will materialize. It is said that if the electrical line between Triadelphhi and the park is the success it is hoped to be, that power or compressed aiv will supplant steam on the line between the city and the park. The Suburban Company is practically the Elm Grove company, as the bonds of the Suburban are guaran- | teen by the Kim Grove. The facilities at Wheeling park station, since Hie erection of the larce barn last summer, are ample for the location there of the terminus of each line. One result will probably be th?; starting of a little <own at the park station?providing, of course, that the scheme floes through. rRECEIVER 1% n?r inr oiirruii^ .v ? u>.v Itnart?Till* In a Snrprlae, ni the Knuior* ofu Itet-rlver wero Denied. For .some time there have been persistent rumors that the Wheeling & I,nke I'.'vle Railway Company would go into the hands of a receiver, but (is often ns made they were met with flatfooted denials from President Blair and the eastern financial backers ofy the road. As will bo seen by the following Associated Press dispatch received from Cincinnati early this mornlng.thc road has gone into a receivership: In the case of the application for tho appointment of a receiver for the Wheeling: & Lake Eric Railroad, which was transferred from Judge Ricks' court in Cleveland to Judge Taft's court in Cincinnati, Judge Taft to-day iippolnted as receivers: Hon. Myrun T. Herrlck, of Cleveland, and Ft. Blickenderfer, nf Toledo. Ex-President Harrison and .Judge J. T. Dillon were present as attorneys for the road. The load extends from Wheeling to Toledo. fi_ distance of 2?8 mile*. It represents an Investment of $19,000,000. Mr. Herrlck. who represents certain eastern capitalists, says that Mr. Blickensderfer. a practical railroad manager, will perform the active duties of the receiver. Accompanying Mr. Herriclc were Andrew Squires, William B. Sanders and I". S. Cook, of Cleveland, and W. Ii. Taylor, of New York. President Blair, who Ik now In New York, endeavoring to form an agreement between the seven soft coal carrying read* of eastern Ohio, donicd a? late Thursday afternoon that a receiver would be asked for in the Oh! > courts. The line had suffered, he said, but no more than other* similarly placed; fl.no ince the next Interest disbursing period Joes not como until July, he was at a oss to tind cause for t!i rcportn other than they had origin purely malicious. In fact it was given out that the reports ivere st tried by opposition railroad mvpanles for tho purpose of diverting lusinesri from the Whoeljng & Lake Erie llK\ An ofTort was made early this mornng to sco Mr. J.

For the pa9t year there has been a man named Jones ill with a malady which had baflled the physicians in that section of the country, and it was expected that ho fellow would die at almost any time. A few days a fro Jones went to one of the Bpcak-vusirn and in gestures made it understood that he wanted a drink of wkisky. The bartender save him a drink, and almost Immediately after taking it Jones fell to the lloor and was unconscious for almost an hour. As soon as he fell down the people who were present picked him up and carried him out onto the porch and mude an effort to revive him. They worked with the fellow for all of on hour and finally revived him a little, whefl "he was taken violently ill and commenced to vomit. He throw up a large amount of matter and among It was noticed a small snake of the water specie.-*. The reptile made an effort to get away as soon as It was free from the man, hut as soon as it was out in the air It g-ive a convulsive shudder and died.

Tin* snake was securod by a gentleman living at Hebron, and lias been preserved In alcohol and is on exhibition. How .Tones came to swallow the snake, , if swallow It lie did. is a mystery.

To the Editor of the Intelligencer. SIR:?A very mumble and'* fienalble communication appe^vxljln your columns to-day from the poo of a Wheeling citizen, Mr. James L. Hawley, contributed by him to the Pittsburgh Dispatch, of the 14th. There 1j, in my Judgment, but a single exception to be taken to the general drift of his articlc in favor of a sound coinage, nnd that exception refers to hi;* closing remarks and to the word* which I have capitalized in the extract honeto appended, as follows: "No government can reRulutc or crcate value by the mere assertion; but a uovcrn meiu inn)' very iuui?cn; UM. nl,?u,. and thereby conclude and publish what threal or intrinsic value of any precious moUil is or appears to be, and make all its coinage according to the intrinsic valur ?.f an established unit. ANI) IT SEEMS TO ME THAT UNDER THI8 PLAN POSSIBLY FREE COINAGE MIGHT BE A REASONABLE REALITY." Now 1 'must confess that after some study of the above paragraph, aided. T trust, by some little familiarity with the subject matter, I wholly fall to penetrate the appositencss of the conclusion arrived at to the argument carried forward, by implication, through the whole article in favor of gold as the only proper standard of value. For instance, near the end of the article of which I have given the conclusion, Mr. Hawlcy makes the fallowing observation: "In conclusion, I repeat that In our coinage wc .should have, one standard unit of value; that unit of value should be the dollar, and should be coined of that which is most stable and least changeable in value, and all other coinage should he In keeping with this one standurd in intrinsic value." Now, what I want to get at is this: What does Mr. Hawlcy mean, interpreted by the above paragraph, when h? speaks in his llrsi paragraph of free silver coinage as a ' practicable possibility, or, to use his own worda. a "reasonable reality?" 1 ask tnr in forma Lion, because I cannot con iH-cr his penoral article with any such conclusion as chat at which lie arrives, aJid am curious to lenmv how he makes tho two correspond. Inasmuch as he favors but one stand- ; arcl, because, as a matter of common sense, there eaiv-be but one standard, why does he, at the end, alm<*t neutralize all he has said in its favor by admitting the possibility of free coinage, meaning: thereby the free and unlimited coinage of silver at some ratio, as it would seem, as near to gold as possible. * What kind of a silver dollar would that l?e as to size and weight? At tin- present commercial value of silver his silver dollar would have t<? be nearly twice the i size and weight ??f the present silver do! - 1 lar. This would mean that as pocket I money such coins would be very unpop- | ular, and would, like the present silver j dollars, find their way into the United States treasury In exchange for silver certificates. In other words, they would differ very little a? money from the bullion now in The treasury represented by the so called Sherman notes. I beg to suggest to Mr. Hawley that It Is time to get down to tho inevitable and the practicable in all that we may ray and write.on this subject of metallic money. Silver has had its day and run its career as standard money, quasi or .itherwise. and henceforward will occupy anly the relation ?>f subsidiary tnoney to Hold, and l'or that purpose wo need give Dtirselves no great concern as to the exactness of its approximation to a commercial parity with gold. We are pledged, of course, to maintain the pari ty of the existing silver uuunr?, wmun we have clone so fur by exhausting: every levice known to finance, viz. by making :hem a legal tender for all debts, public tnd private, even for customs, and then it last "have had 'to borrow fro Id to help us carry the loud. "The leg,* of the ame are not c<iual." and both holy writ ind common sense tell us that they can lever "be made so. SINGLE STANDARD. Wheeling, Jan. 15. Kolio of ii Scandal. LONDON.
