LOCAL ITEMS.
A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
We wish to each and even one of|
our subscribers and readers a merry
Christmas.
Go to R. J. A. Boreman's for Holi
day presents.
Times here are still very dull. No
local news of any importance.
Go try Magill's fine Christmas can
dies.
Preaching next Sunday at all the
churches. The Episcopal evening ser
vice commences at 4 o'clock.
Read R. J. A. Boreman's advertise
ment, in this issue.
Oil is looking up a little. Thirty
days more and our oil men will have
bridged the crisis.
Next week we shall something a
bout the new block on Market street,
in Parkersburg.
W. H. Warne & Co. have got a fine
lot of new goods suitaole for Holiday
presents. Read their advertisement.
On Christmas morning divine ser
vices will be held at the Emmanuel
Church, commencing at 11 o'clock. ?
All are invited.
Ws toe that notwithstanding the
hard times, our citizens are making ar
rangements for the proper observance
of Christmas.
Martin Sc Gilbert keep a choice lot
oi groceries at their olu stand, next
door to tbe Adam's Express ofltce. ?
Give them a call.
We learn that the O'Brien Bros,
have started up their new machine
works at Parkersburg. We shall visit
them before our next issue.
John Hannan has enlarged his boil
er works at Parkersburg, and has pur
chased of Mr. Charles Despard the
boiler machinery belonging to that
gentleman. Success John.
W. H. Warne & Co. have ore of
the finest furniture ware rooms in the
State. Go there and examine their
6tock of holiday goods. Remember
the stand, on Market stFeet, below
Market house.
Christmas will be celebrated at all
the churches here. The Baptists haye
their celebration cn to-morrow eve
ning, and th? Methodists and Episco
palians on Christmas night. All the
friends of the churches are invited to
be present.
We learn that there is a family here
who are actually suffering for the
necessaries of life. This has no need
to be. Let any one that is posted in
form our efficient overseer of the poor,
Mr. Staples, and lie will promptly at
tend to the matter.
We can pity some of our exchanges
who complain of the pancity of local
news. Nearly three months now since
there has been a light on our streets;
no mad dogs, no drunkenness, nobody
getting hurt, no new wells going down,
no new strikes, and, of course, no one
getting married.
Our enterprising fellow-citizens of
Twin Lick have made a fine walk from
the M. E. Church to Col. Vir.al's re.->
idence. They have covered it with
cinders and made a first-class walk of
it. We have heard, however, that
some "country Jake" deliberately
walked l?i? ho-s.' from one end of it to
the other, and broko down several of
?he drains constructed aeross the walk
at various places. If our friends up
there would apply a No. 9 cowhide
boot to such a numbskull, it would
breed a rcioiui.
Average daily product of the Penn
sylvania oil regions from the discov
ery of petroleum to October ist, 1S73,
10,715 bbls. Total production for the
same time 52,443,096 bbls.
There is more oil here now held for
the market to raise, than ever before.
We know parties who have 2,000 bar
rels of oil now tanked, that never had
over 400 barrels before.
Rev. T. J. Knapp has been regular
ly called to fill the Pastoral of the
Volcano Baptist Church. Bro. Knapp
is a live man. a good christian and an
excellent preacher. He preached his
first sermon on Sunday last.
We have just received a copv of
Col. Henry's book, entitled "Parly
and Later History of Petroleum." ?
We have had no time to peruse the
work, and o( course cannot pass an
opinion upon its merits.
McConahy still keeps up his repu
tation for selling goods cheap. If any
of our friends wish to make us a pres
ent, Mc has fine watches and jewelry.
Call on him when you go to Parkers
burg, and examine his stock.
We have a lady out here who is on
war-path because she has discovered
a piece of Ostrich plume in her hus
band's beard, and she was not the pos
sessor of such a bit of adornment. ?
No cause for disturbance ? it probably
grew there.
John P. Wait has on hand for sale
at ?ow prices, three stationary boilers;
dimensions as follows: Two 20 feet
long, 40 inches in diameter. One 22
feet long. 30 inches in diameter. Call
at his new store on Market street, and
you can find out the price. The boil
ers are in first-class order.
Z. T. Devore has just received a
choice lot of tine smoking tobacco of
the following named brands; Pioneer,
Lone Jack, Durham, and Essence of
Old Virginia He also has for sale
fine plug chewing tobacco, and cigars.
All articles in this line that Mr. De
vore offers for sale are A No. 1. C ;?.!!
and try a bag of the "Lone Jack."
We have received the information
that the Legislature of this State broke
up in a drunken row without passing
the Appropriation Bill. We are not
surprised that they broke up in a
drunken row, fur that is consistent
with their whole course, but we are a
iittie surprised that the failed to p.tss
the Appropriation Bill, as they have
not failed to pass any bill that came
before them where there was any mon
ey in it for themselves. What an en
couragement for capitalists to come in
to our Sta'e. We point with pride (?)
to our Legislature.
Wc see that the merchants in the
Pen isylv.mia oil regions have adopt
ed the cash system, and marked down
their goods in proportion. Refined
oil is quoted at cents fcr g?dh?
Cut loaf sugar, 12 ets. per lb.; Ji nest
young hyson tea, $1,25 per lb.; St.
Louis hams, it cts. per lb.; and other
things in proportion.
We reproduce an article in this is
sue cut from the Parkersburg Daily
Times, and credited to the Ritchie Ga
zette. For an article containing so
few words, we never saw one contain
ing so many infamous falsehoods. ?
We propose to reply to part of the
germ of that fabrication, and to tell a
plain, unvarnished tale, and tell it in
such a manner that hereafter the Ga
j zettc will not be willing to make edi
torials of any information that may
come to them from their re-//V-ab!e
Parkersburg correspondent.
We never could conceive why a
person should take pleasure in expos
ing other people's faults, when it
would not benefit the one who expos
es, and that too, when the pe;son ex
posed never harmed hiin. Such things
are never done except by the most de
praved. We propose, with this much
by way of beginning, to strip the a
bovc-mentioned article of all its ver
biage, and come to the subject matter
at once:
About the middle of November, the
Rev. L. F. llorton, of New Orleans,
La., came to Volcano, havmg regular
credentials as an Elder in the Me.ho
dist church south. Rev. E. C. Way
man, pastor of the M. E. church
north , of this place, had been holding
protracted services then nearly seven
weeks, and needing some one to assist
him in preaching, and the Rev. llor
, ton beinj; regularly recoinmonded by
I iiishop Kavanaugh, of the M. E.
j church south, and offering his services
j to Mr. Waym.'n t! ?;v were gladly ac
jcepted. At no time in t!>< course ot
j the t?Mi d r. < < : u>s;U?J Rev*. Way- j
jrr.an, did Mr. Hoi :o.i UuU the work
1 that w.tj theii going o:., a.u at iu
time did he, by deed or word, do any
thing unbecoming a christian gentle
man. The statement in the Gaxettc
thai "he asked the hand of one of the
sisters" is a base lie, and worthy of its
origin. So much for his Volcano ca
reer.
We dot intend in this article to
stand as champion for Mr. Ilorton. ?
That he has erred palpable, but that
he has run the whole gauntlet of the
rccord book of crime, no one but the
Gazette. would be reckless enough to
charge. The Rev. Ilorton wore no
"cluster of diamonds," a modest liltle
diamond stud adorned his shirt front.
He was no "gay deceiver," no gam
bier, no black-!eg of the first water,
nor had he been traveling over the
country quite extensively in the role
of a minister; neither did the Rev.
Wavman get a letter from a leading
minister of Xew Orleans charging
him with it. Bro. Wavman did re
ceive a letter from Rev. W. V. Tudor
of that place, stating that the Rev. L.
F. Ilorton had credentials signed by
Bishop Kavanaugh. lie never had a
diamond pin. consequently he could
not have stolen one.
Now for the facts in the case as we
know them, and then we hope that .til
who read this article will "cast the
broad mantle of charity" over the
faults of the Reverend gentleman:
Some time in 1S71, at Wilmington,
N. C., Charles W. Warren was a reg
ularly credited minister in the M. E.
church, and like most young men who
are just starting life, he relied too
much on his own strength, and like
most young men who do this failed. ?
His crime was, that he intercepted a
letter directed to one of his people,
obtaining a draft or check, (its con
tents) and presented it to the bank for
payment. The bank officers, suspect
ing that somctning was wrong, refused
to pay the money on the paper, r.nd
Mr. Warren left the city that after
noon. It is supposed that C. W. War
ren and L. F. I lorton are one and the
same person.
It is easy to trarc the career of
crime of this gentleman from the time
lie reached New Orleans to the pres
ent time. He was admitted to the
deacon's order, ordained an elder in
Louisiana Conference under the name
cf L. F. ilorton. and faithfully work
ed in his Master's vineyard until re
cently. Being smart, active, intelli
gent and eloquent, he was dangerous
to some one of the old members of
that Conference; the sleuth-hounds
wete put upon his track, the old, old
crime was tracked tip against he, but
ho obtaii.cd his credentials and left be
fore the hounds overtook him.
"Alas l".>r the rarity
Of Christian charity."
Living the life of deception that he
did, when questioned about his past
life he was too honest; lie had 110
ready tale coined, he prevaricated, he
was lost. Oh! how hard he plead that
some of his friends in Volcano would
not juiigc him harshly, but wait a time
until he could satisfactorily explain
himself. Thank God, some of them
arc doing this. We blame Mr. Ilor
ton that when he was questioned he
did not tell the whole truth to the Pre
siding Elder Ison, and then 30 ahead
with a clear conscience and try and
outlive what we fear has been to him
"a mistake of a lifetime."
One thing more, we have heard
every crime that could be named im
puted to this man, but in this town, we
arc glad to know, they are not believ
ed. The many good things- that he
said here will be long remembered,
and we are also pleased to know that
out here, in this town 011 the hills,
'"the good effect will not be spoiled by
a bad story." We commend the quo
tation below to the Gazette:
"Then gently scan your brother-man,
Still gentler sister woman;
Though both may gang a kenniu wranjj,
To slej> aside is human."
Holiday Gifts.
We know of nothing that would
please a friend more than to present
them with a good American Watch.
Too expensive you say ? No, Devore
has marked the price down to suit
hard times Go to Devore's and ex
amine his extensive stock of Jewelry,
consisting of ladies sets, gold rings,
studs, sleeve buttons, bracelet- , etc.
Examine his stock of notions, buy a
good gold pen; in fact, go to Devore's,
on Raymond Street, and you will find
iomethiuji that will he both useful and
| ornamental. Call on Devore for good
I tobacco and cigars.
