to give splendid ball at the German Thea-

ing Of this occasion We do not urge anybody
to attend the ball, - there are those who
do not make such practice; but We would
ask that this company be aided in this par
ticular, not 80 much to have good time ct
the ball, but to raise an amount Of funds to
defray some debts of the Company. 1t is
we'll known how the No. &c have strug-
gled along and bought theier engine. erected
their house, and that without any aid from
the city. There is yet small debt in their
hands, and it l. to be hoped that the pro.
ceeds ofthis bali will enable them lequidAts
the same. It is due to the Company that
oil who can afford to do 20 should contri-
butte dollar to this entertainment for the
purpose above stated. Give the No. %
good encouragement.

an Accomplished Shop Lifter.-0n Saturday
last, a strange young womanwith dimpled chin,
well dressed and quite handsome, tripped into a
Main street dry goods store, and purchased
neat little pair Of gloves, an embroidered collar,
handkerchief, and a variety of other costly fix
ings. the names ofwhich we do not recollect-
She was remarkably talkalive and pleasant, and
as the clerk afterwards observed made rather
free for short acquaintance. When she came
to pay for the articles, she was distressed and
surprised to find that she had not sufficient mo.
ney. She took her bundle, however, stating
that she was stopping at the Mcclure House with
her husband who would settle the bill upon its
presentation The clerk offered to send the
goods to her room, bat his clever customer
"wouldjust as leave carry them herself as not"
After her departure, and the facts of the sa e
were made known, it was decided that, owing
to the suspicious circumstances surrounding the
case, the clerk should follow the customer with
the bill, which he did, ard saw her walk past
the Mcclure House. Still the clerk followed,
keeping respectful distance behind. The
woman went up Market street 10 the 1st Ward,
and then back, and continued to move towards
Centre Wheeling, without any particular pur
pose or destination. The clerk had several
times made up his mind to approach her with
the bill, but still his heart failed him. At last
when he had followed her for well nigh an hour,
he lost his patience, and as Monsieur Achille
