I Th* Girl I i,eft Behind He.
By request we insert the old
song whloh our forefathers used
I to sing and was the delight of
our soldiers during the late war.
Who nas rot heard of the old
l?T T3 air ?'The ?m I Left
Behind Me?".
1 Ia.th? d"J'R 01 old whe? IW young
Ami wen't to join the army
I thought not of the weary march
Or scenes that would surround me
Urt my fnenJs ? ?ad farewell.
While gushing tears did blind me.
Fortoder thoughts grieved my ,x>or
For the girl I left bekind me.
With flfe und drum we marched away
New scenes did much relieve me, '
But when I thought of those behind
The thought would always grieve me.
But more than ull as you may know
A tender cord did bind me."
A sympathizing tender thought
For the girl I left behind me.
But soon the battle it oame on;
My comrads fell around me,
. lymind wub lost on scenes around,
though dangers did surronnd me;
With pen and ink I wrote a line
While bitter tears .lid blind me,
1 ??nt t,lem my dearest friend
The girl I left behind me.
One day a missive oame to me,
Whiuli very soon did And me
It spoke in hope of future joys
Of passed vows did remind me.
I answered with a willing mind
,_A promise that would bind me,
lill I returned to her embrace?
?The girl I left behind me.
So now the war is at an end,
And wo have been notorious;
We'll to our friends and home return,
A change to us most glorious.
We'll cultivate our pleasant fields
And reap our toil with pleasure,
And no more to the wars we'll go.
But dwell with those we treasure.

West Virginia's World's Fulr Ifutld
Ing.
The following is a brief descrip
tion of West Virginia's building
at the Worlds Pair at Chicago:
The West Virginia building is
in the colonial style, two stories
high, with a pitched roof, the
outer walls being weather-board
ed and painted. It is representa
tive of the West Virginia resi
dence. The roof is shingled.
The interior is finished in hard
wood, the walls are plastered,
and the ceilings are of ornamental
iron work from Wheeling. All
of the exposed material in the
building is the product of the
State. The main entrance is on
the west, on a platform porch.
Above the entrance as the coat of
arms of the State in bas-relief.
Within the entrance is a vestibule,
with rooms for the boards of
commissioners on either side.
Beyond the vestibule is a large
reception hall flanked by parl<?rs
for women and men. Back of
these parlors are toilet and re
tiring rooms. On the second
floor front are two committee
rooms, and the balance of the
floor constitutes an assembly
room and reception hall, 34 by
76 feet in size. There are four
large fireplaces in the building,
two on each floor, with very hand
some carved wood mantles. The
building has a ground area of 58
by 123 feet, including the semi
circular verandas on the north
and south. Its wide entrances
and the broad verandas, extend
ing around both wings, will afford
delightful resting places for visit
ors during the fair. The ex
hibit will be found especially in
teresting in the departments of
horticulture, forestry, mining,
and the liberal arts, coming as it
will from a State peculiarly rich
in respect to all of these.

CHANGES OF THE SCHOOI.
I.AW AS AMENDED AT THE
SESSION OF THE LEGIS
LATURE JI'ST
ENDED.
Section 2, as amended provides
for the election of County Super
intendents on the third Tuesday
of the ensuing May. for a term
of two years, and further, that
thereafter, viz: November, 1804,
at the general State election,
County Superintendents shall be
elected for the term of four years.
I beginning on the following first
I of July. 1895, and everv four
years thereafter.
Section 6, is so amended that
the board of education at its July
j meeting fixes the wages of teach
ers. but does not as heretofore
I fix the number of months, that
being done by the voters under
the amended provisions of section
; 40. It is iurther provided that
I the members of the board shall
receive pay at the rate of $1.50
per day but cannot charge for
more than six days.
Section 8. as amended provides
j that the secretary of the board
' -shall within ten days after the
j annual levy is laid, certify to the
county superintendent of free
schools the total value of all pro
perty, real and personal in his
district with the rate of levy and
amount thereof, keeping separate
| the rates and amounts of teach
ers and building funds, and said
| superintendent shall within
twenty days certify the same to
| the State superintendent of free
I schools."
Section 18, relating to the em
ployment of teacher* issoamend
I ed as to relieve the necessity of
having the contract between
| teacher and trustees approved by
I the board or the president thereof.
j But the teacher is required as
heretofore to tile his contract and
duplicate with the secretary of
the board before the beginning
of the term for which ho is em
ployed. The same section further
provides that if any trustee or
member of the board of educa
tion shall receive any money or
other thing of value for his aid,
assistance or vote in securing to
any teacher a school, or employ
ment in any district in which said
trustees and members of the
board are authorized to act, shall
be guilty of a felony and upon
conviction thereof shall be pun
ished as provided in chapter 147
of the Code of this State; and the
teacher who offers or tenders to
such trustees or members of the
board of education any money
or other thing of value, to influ
ence the same in aid of securing
a school, shall be liable to pun
ishment as provided in said
chapter.
Section 27, providing for the
appointment of a board ot ex
aminers, is so amended that at
the meeting of the presidents for
that purpose; on the first Wednes
day in July, there shall be ap
pointed one member for two
years, and one member for one ^
year, and annually thereafter one i
for two years. Thus it will be |
seen that the members of the j
board are. with the exception of
the one appointed for one year at!
the next July meeting, to serve'
for two years.
Section 29, is so amended as
to provide that all grades of
county certificates shall be issu
ed at the same examination.
Section 40, as amended, pro
vides that the people by their
vote, shall fix the number of
months to be taught by voting
power to levy for the same, but
this can not be less than four
months.
Section 41 is by this act re
pealed.
Section 45 now requires all
Boards of Education of Districts
and Independent School Districts
whose expenditures for all school
purposes in any one year shall
equal or exceed $8,000 shall pub
lish an itemized statement of its
receipts and expenditures, in
some newspaper of the county
having a general circulation in
said District.
Section 40 provides that the i
sheriff shall receive no pay for
receiving and disbursing the
State School Fund, and not more
than tvro per cent, for receiving
and disbursing Railroad taxes
and no pay for the disbursement
of any school money arising from
the sail' of school property, or
i received from any other source
than levies. ,
Chapter 05 of the Acts of 1888,
i is repealed.

AN IMPOHTAXT POIXT DE
CIDED.
] Hi Irs. /
.1 udge I lagans, 'at the last term
of the Circuit Court, rendered a
decision that is of vital impor
tance to oil men, and of interest
to tax-payers generally. When
the property of this county was
re-valued at the last re-assess
ment, Mr. G. S. Conaway. who
re-assessed the real estate in the
Western district of this county,
assessed leases for oil and gas
seperately, as so much real
estate. The section of law un
der which Mr. Conway acted is
found in section 4 of chaper 80
of the Acts of 1891. of which
after providing the duties of the
commissioner in relation to re
assessing. says:
- And in such assessment the
minerals, mineral waters, oils
uuu gassos underlying the sur
face and the location of the land
shall be considered in ascertain
ing th(! value of such land in
current money and when mineral,
mineral water, oil, gas or coaj
privileges of interests are held
by a party or parties, or any
company or association, exclu- |
sive of the surface, the same
shall be assessed separately to
such party or parties, company
or association, at its cash or
market value at the time of such
ro'-ratantion."
The South Penn and other oil
companies felt aggrieved at the
action of Mr. Conaway in placing
their oil leases, &c.. on the land
books separately, at a value fixed
by Mr. Conaway, and gave notice
to have the books corrected by
the county court. This court
took the matter under ad
visement, and after hearing
the questions involved fully dis
cussed, reversed the action of
Mr. Conaway, and permitted thiB
class of property to be erased
from the land books, and to be
taxed as personal propertv. Mr.
James A. Haggerty, then Prose
cuting Attorney, not agreeing
with the view taken by the coun
ty court, took an appeal to the
circuit court. At the last term
Judge Hagans rendered a decis
ion reversing the county court,
and fully sustained the view
taken by Mr. Haggerty and by
Mr. Conaway.
I_ This is a question about which
I there is a great deal of doubt
among the lawyers. Judge
I Jacobs, of the Wetzel circuit, in
I a like case, delivered am opinion
V just the reverse from that handed
down bv Judge Hagans. This
case will, without doubt, be taken
to the Supreme Court, where it
I will be finally settled.
THE SPRING.
or all seasons in the year, is the one for
making radioal changes in regard to
health. Daring the winter, the system
becomes to a certain extent cloggixl with
waste, and the blood loaded with im
puntios, owing to lack of exeroise, done
confinement in poorly ventilated shops
and homrs, and other oaasea. This is
the canse of the dull, sluggish, tired
I feeling *o general at thia season, and
whieh must be overoome, or the health
may be entirely broken down. Hood's
Sareaparilla haa attained the greatest
I popularity all over the oonntry aa the
favoritd spring medicine. It expels the
accumulation of impurities through the
, owels, kidneys, liver, lungs and skin,
gives the blood the purity and quality
necessary to good health and overoomes
that tired feeling.
We are apt to complain of the|
shortness of time, and yet have
much more than we know what
to do with. Our lives are either
spent in doing nothing at all, or
in doing nothing to the purpose,
or in doing nothing that we ought
to do. We are always complain
ing that our days are few. and
acting as if there would he no
end of them.

There seems to be a tidal wave
of moral reform sweeping over
the entire country. A movement
for the suppression of gambling
and the enforcement of the law
for the preservation of the Bab
bath has been inaugurated in Now
Orleans. The citizens of that
too long vice-cursed city appear
to be in earnest in this matter
An association entitled the Son
flay Closing and Anti Gambling
League, consisting of 450 of the
most reputable citizens, have col
lected about $80,000 for the pur
pose of prosecuting gamblers and
for the maintainence of the Sab
bath law. It is to be hoped that
this tidal wave will Increase in
volume until the whole country
is inundated by this moral reform
movement.
