lie came back to Wheeling without any appa-
reot object, being always under the influence of
louor. Tuesday morning last, ina sober and

d,is city, notifying her of his whereabouts.
Mrs. Mentor, NilO 10 d htAN"1 anu z"AAS mas
L.en in fearful suspense since her brothers
singular departure, arrived in town yesterday
and found the prodigal SON complete wreck.
He had squandercd the greater portion of the
money, and shattered his whole nervous sys.

for Pittsburgh, in the afternoon.
The Hsm,NeM RdilrOod-Wc learn that for
several DAYS tie Iempficld has been running
freight train between this city and claysville,
the road being still DISTRACTED beyond that
point. A considerable quantity of freight is
nou shipped daily, as far as ClaysviIle, and talk
en- to Washington, or other destined points by
wagons There is a general regret all along the
line that the road is not in condition to allow
of the running of through passenger train,
and that the company have not the means to
Place it in such condition. The difficulty en-
countered, is not so much in clearing the road,
but in keeping it clear, for which purpose the
reycnne of the road at this season is not suffi-
cent The road needs to be thoroughly reno
waited, repaired and reballasted from one end to
the other, the low places raised, and the trouble
some land slides provided against as far as pos
siOlc, and then it can be kept in running condi-
ton by means of the revenue. We learn that
apropOsition has been made to the Baltimore &
Ohio Company to lease the Hempfeld for a
term of years, and that the directory of the for
mermct in Baltimore the day before yesterday

SanfOrd's Straw and Hav Gutter.

TINE public is respectfully invited to examine San
IL fords Highest Premium Straw and Hay Gutter
For utility, durability and cheapness it cannot be
surpassed. It is ENTIRE NEW PLAN, having two
cylinders with knives in each, and constructed
to roll together, and to Draw the Feed between the
knives which cuts and softens it in such fEapnel
as to make it in excellent state to be eaten by
horses or cattle 1t is obvious to all, from the first
view of the machine that the edges of the knives last
twice as long by coming in contact with any sub
but the feed which it is cutting the operation
being wholly on edges.
Confident that it cannot be improved, and that no
machine has ever been introduced to the public
bning equal advantages, and simple in lis construc-
ton, and not liable to get OF order. The facility
and perfect manner in which this machine cuts and
p epares the feed is attested by the certificates OF sew
era thousand persons who had them in use for the last
three years.
There have been sold 10000 Of the above cutters in
the last three years and yet has been return
ed Many farmers have had them in use for three
years and have never had the knives ground and the
machine does its cutting WE'LL and gives more satisac
ton than any other cutter in the southwest Sold BY
