AN ACCOMPLISHED LADY.-When we pre-
pared our local items last week, the papers
published in the village over the liver, as
wei! as the people on both sides of the
water. had great deal ;asay about sl,ght
Of hand game played off on Saturday, the
9Th inst, by piece of female humanity OF
unsurpassed, beauty and accomplishments.
Stories wess tiiel conflicting, and we re-
Trained from noticing 1t. until We should be
able to obtain the facts in reliable form.
These we now give:
On the dsy named, Mr.. W. G. Murry and
the fair lady arrived in company at the Ne
Clure House, and at their request mad rooms
assigned Them sdjoinlng each other, with a
door communicating between them. In the
course of business. Mr.. NJ. who is an iron
manufacturer at Youngstown, Ohio. become
the possessor OF $4,000. The pocket-5ook
continuing this sum, he laid on bis bed,
which fact he mentioned to a gentle men
who had called 10 see him on business. He
then left the room in company with the
gentleman, bat in short time returned,
when he discovered that his money was
gone, and so was the female beauty. Miss
Lizzie Wayte, for SO she gave her name,
was not heard of again until Monday, when
she arrived in this village in company with
an old gentleman, said TO be her grandfather.
Being too late for the morning train of cars.
she stopped at the National Hotel, intend
ing to wait for the next train. Here, shortly
after her arrival, she was visited by Mr. n.
and on officer from Wheeling. As No
arrest could legally be made here, Miss
L Lzzie, after a private interview with the
injured gentleman, agreed to 60 with him
wherever he might wish, in order to inves.
tigste the affair. The same day it was an
nounced that 81 500 OF the sum lost had
been recovered. As the lady's feelings were
so very much mortified at finding her name
in the public prints in connection with this
fe lony, it would have been cruelty too great
to be perpetrated by the chivralric sons of
the .'Old Dominion" TO incarcerate her fair
form in the common Jail. Hence she was
placed under the care of an accommodating
officer, at the Beymer House. On Wednes-
dsy last, having made satisfactory acquaint-
ance with the people Of Wheeling, and be-
ing under no special restraint, she took her
baggage, and without even seeking the
gallant Mr.. Murry. to say TO him how sorry
she was for his loss, lett for parts unknown.
If Mr.. NJ. has really been defrauded out
of $500 in the manner claimed. he is to
be pitied; but if the lost nine hundred as
the penalty of brief Irritation with this
beauty, and is held by her as hursh money.
Che being a married man, as is by many sus-
peeted, J he deserves the loss.
LEFT BEHIKp-On Friday morning last
two young gents arrived with their trunks
at the Bridgeport station, procured tickets
and had their trunks checked to Cincinnati.
At 8 O'clock the cars of the Ohio Central
bacFed up to The station. Trunks. baggage,
mails, &C., were al properly placed on
board BY careful Jennie The sienai-"all
oboand' was given by the conductor, but
onr two young gentlemen, not being salts
fed with seeing the sights to be seen here,
were taking last lingering look. just as
he got fairly under way. the boys discover
ed their fix, and sturted after at their full
speed, bat soon found their effort vain. and
Stacked their gait to moderate walk. They
probably overlook their baggage at the
Queen City oD the next day.
SERIOUS AccIDENT.-On Saturday last.
Mr.. JImes Beck, of West Wheeling, and
laborer in the Planning Mil. of Messrs.
Stewart g. Keelne, OF this place, while
engaged operating with the circular saw,
ideDtally permitted hi. right hand to
come in contact with that dangerous article.
The middle finger was cut entirely of aud
the forefnger and thumb nearly so. The
wounded hand " as dressed by DIR. M'Conahey
who entertained some hopes that the finger
and thumb not severed from The hand might
be saved. DIR. Capehart has since had
charge of the wound and informs Us that it
is doing well. Mr. Beck is said to be a
a poor man. with wife and family of small
children dependent upon him. He deserves
the sympathy of The community.
