of furniture in the house After this, they
took Mr. Gibbs out of bed, tied him, and then
took Mrs. Gibbs, and while a port; on of them
held her arms and choked her until she was
nearly Iifeless, the others proceeded to de-
file her person and otherwise abuse and insult
her, and so on until the whole of them were
guilty of the most heinous ofEense-next to muir
der-knOwn to the laws of our State. War
rants were issued for three of the fiends iucar-

Tile Wholesale Grocery 2Fade.-p.e extent,
advantages and prospects of the wholesale gro
cery trade are so we'll known and have been SO
frequently alluded to, that it is only necessary
to refer to it briefly in this connection. We
visited several of the prominent houses yester-
dav and found them well stocked with every
thing pertaining to the trade. The wholesale
dealers have announced their determination to
compete successfully with Pittsburgh in the
matter Of prices and quality Of goods, as that is
about the only market against which they have
to contend The class of dealers finding their
way to this point never seek Bal imOrc for yari-
Gus reasons, the most important one of which
is that Wheeling offers infinitely better advan-
tages to the retail grocer or large consumer
Tie object, then, is to compete successfully
with the head of navigation in point Of prices
TO the people of Washington county, Pa, and
the adjacent country, connected with this city
by the Hempiield railroad, the advantages affor-
ded by Wheeling must be especially transpa-
rent. When it is known that sugar, mOlasses,
coffee etc, can be purchased upon terms as fn-
yorable to the purchaser as in Pittsburgh, it
only remains to mention the Inconvenience,
delay aud uncertainty which attends the ship
ping of goods from that point To their interior
destination, in order to show Wheeling's supe-
rior facilities so plain that she who runs may
read"
Those not acquainted with the wholesale
grocery trade of this city, will be surprised to
know that it amounts per annnm, TO nearly one
million of dollars. The principal articles are
sugar, mnlasscs and coffee, though the sales of
whisky in some of the establishments are quite
extensive.
tits useless TO disguise the fact that in the gene
raj depression and stringency of the money mar
ket, the grocery business has suffered to some
extent Retail dealers at home and abroad have
bought sparingly and cautiously, holding back
aud closing out their old stocks. The cons, :
quence.of this will be, when business opens in
the spring and confidence is again restored Ito
which result the whole tendency of things is
decidedly favorablc) retail dealers will have
fewer debts to pay aud more goods to purchase,
having smaller stock on hands. The whole
sale dealers, with plausible reasons, therefore,
anticipate larger sales than ever, thorough re-
newal of the old activity aud good times gene
rally.
The regular wholesale houses in the city are
List * Howell, Main ST., r. Cranglc & Co., Mon
roe st, Paxton & DonIon, TaIlant & Delapluir
and Michael Riley, Main st, all of whom ur'
thoroughly established in the confidence of theil
patrons. Groceries are sold here along the lin,
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, down til,
Ohio as far as Poueroy, aud in the surrounding
sections of Virginia. Ohio and Pennsylvania.

IT is most undoubted fact that Dr. Sanford's
Invigorator, or Liver Remedy, is one of the
greatest discoveries made in medicine the past
century. 1t has been study of the Dr. during
twenty years practice to find what particular
organ, when diseased, caused the greatest num-
Der of ills or pains, and his conclusion is, that
the liver is the greatest regulator of the system
and the most liable to disease, while if kept free
from disease is preventive of Dyspepsia, Jaun-
dice, general debility, &C., while last but far
from least VIC mention consumption; for our ex-
perience is that more cases ofconsumption occur
from diseased liver than from all other causes
put together.
Taking this to be correct hypothesis, we
have but to find a remedy with which to correct
the liver, and VIC have of nearly all the
diseases we are subject to by simply using
preventive That the InrigoratOr is such
remedy, is beyond doubt to all who try it, for
its virtues are such that for all complaints ars-
ing from liver arrangements, it is an unfaiiing
remedy, while as a family medicine, for all dis
eases Of the stomach or bowels, which are cans
ed in greater or less degree by liver derauge
ncnt, it is the Safest surest and most etIicacious
remedy known.-Prin. Press. dec

accident on tie Central Ohio Railroads.&c.
press Messenger ByOion Eilled.-The eastern
bound train, over the Central Ohio Railroad,
night before last, met with most lamentabIe
accident, resulting in the instant death of Charles
Brown, express messenger for the Adams Com.
pany The train, when about one mile west of
Glencoe, running at the rate of twelve miles an
hour, ran upon huge rock which had recently
fallen upon the track from the precipiee above.
The collision of course caused terrible crash
and wreck Mr.. Brown was sitting in the cor
ner of the passenger car Immediately behind
the baggage car, and upon hearing the first
sound of the alarm whistle, it is supposed he
arose to his fe>t and looked out of tic window
The baggage car was forced about five feet into
the passenger car and Mr.. B. was unfortunately
caught in the position described, and when dis
covered life was extinct Mr.. a. Bliss, of this
city, occupied seat Immediately behind Mr.
Brown, but was forced over the seat tops and
thus escaped uninjured. a Brakeman, whose
name we could not learn, was somewhat bruised
aud roughly handled but received no serious in.
Jury. The accident occurred at 10 O'Clock about
ten miles west of Bellair. The rock is des-
cribcd as being about the size of a common
railroad car, and had the train been running at
the usual speed, the probable destruction of life
is horrible to think Of
The remains of AIR. Brown were conveyed to
ReilairC, after the accident, and yesterday morn
ing were brought up to this city. The deceased
was young man, universally beloved for his
amiable and virtuous qualities. He leaves a
young wife and other near and dear relatives in
