S.;.a, in .StsuBeacills-W learned on Sa-
,rr5,v from the officers of the Convoy, that on
tbe evening previous German named Eioto'
,.bo keeps lager bier saloon in steubenViIle,
a.iberately shot himself with pistol. 1t seems
that Poto had been quarreling with his wife dur
ing the day, aud had also been drinking exces-
svev for some time back. On the evening IN
question, without intimating his determination
n orv one. he procured loaded pistol, went up
stairs in his own house, deliberately placed the
mpzz!e in his mouth, and pulled the trigger
The heavy charge in the pistol caused most
upsiyatly and shocking wound and produced
instant death.
The Faurta.-As the 4th of July comes on

tively advised, we suppose the children of the
Sunday Schools, in their gay dresses and bright
faces. will be out to celebrate the day, and for
what we know, may have already perfected
large plans for the enjoyment OF grand PIC
mic in some pleasant grove adjacent to the
city.
We learn that the old Fishing Club con-
posed of some dozen public spirited and
patriotic citizens, will celebrate the day upon a
romantic spot selected for the occasion, some
five or six miles East of the city. We are not
sure that this has as yet been determined upon,
bnt if it has, let all the world be assured that
the celebration will be one of the old fashioned,
whole souled afFairs-without stint in any par
ticnlar.
We suppose the military of the city will APP
pear upon Monday following the fourth. The
Fencbles, RifIenen, and Young Cadets, with the
new Montgomery Guards, whom we learn will
be prepared for parade by that time, can make
a creditable display The m onlight parade an
evening or two since, in which the three first
named companies participated, was display OF
which cities of larger pretensions than our own
might have been proud, and the addition OF
another company in the procession is an attrac-
aud admire. We are pleased to see growing
disposition on the part of the people to encour-
age military matters here-everyb body seems to
feel more lively interest in that regard than
formerly.
And now we come to the proposition of essrs
D. NicOll and Bro. to be found in another col
umn,-To the Citizens of Wheeling which we
insure its success. They propose TO make n
grand display of fire works at either Of the
places named on Monday evening after the 4th.
The proposition is fair, patriotic and praise
worthy, and we are inclined to the opinion that
the requisite amount of money can be raised
without much trouble. We know that the ia
ciIties of Nicoll and Bro. are ample to provide
splendid display, and we hope they may be
encouraged in carrying out their proposition
The Guards Fire Company present
City Council adopted at the beginning of the
term, system of judicious economy, with a
view to reducing the city expenses and bring
ing into the treasury an additional revenue. -
The salaries of the city officers were reduced,

previously, and some few Offices were abolished
altogether. Among the latter was the chief
engineer of the fire department The various
fire companies of the city applied for their usu
al appropriations, which the Council refused to
grant, and ever since an i'll feeling has existed
in the ranks. On Saturday the Guards fire
company, of the 9TH ward, appeared on parade
with placard upon their hose carriage bearing
these words "oUR LAST APPEARANCE UNLESS
wE RECEIVE OUR UsuAB 'APPRoPRIATIoN.p So
that this company at least has determined to
dissolve unless some anlicable adjustment is
made of the difficulty. We hope the council
in its wisdom will consider the matter and dc
what is best for the city's interest, and we have
no doubt it will
P.s-on Saturday evening, after the pasade
the iremen locked the door of the Guards en-
CINE house, gave the key to the Mayor and fol
the present disbanded.
