s5Y.71e Recent Steamboat Fire-The Pitts.
burgl. papers are full of the details of the de-
structive fire which occurred in that city on
Saturday. 1t had not yet been ascertained
exactly how the fire originated on the Craft
The Minerva. Wheeling packet, was at the up
yer part of the landing, and having steam up,
she backed out when the danger became immi-
nent As she was about to leave the wharf,
$1,000 was offered her to remove the Belmont,
which was alongside, but the flames were ap-
preaching SO rapidly that the captain of the
Minerva feared to accept the offer and dropped
ont into the river.
The cenfagration not only attracted specta-
tors, but thieves. Twenty-fou policemen pat
rolled the wharf, and stood guard over the
freight and such trumpery as was got ashore,
and even this protection did not entirely avail.
Eight thieves were arrested. The scene at the
wharf Sunday morning looked desolate enough.
The paddles, portions of the hulls, machinery,
boilers, &c, blackencd and rusty, are visible
above the water; a melancholy monument of tie
devastation Of the previous day. The hulls are
SO much damaged as to be a total loss; hardly a
board or timber in them that can be of any use
whatever.

FDogs.-We have seen men who could
hear with quiet patience to have waiter spill
hot coffee upon them; who could bear to have
heir corns trampled upon and beg the aggress-

With soap; who could follow up hat on a windy
day and never cuss. We have seen such pat.

large Quantities of coal have disappeared from
the platform in front of the coal bank of the
Mcssrs Sweeny, in the First Ward. On Satur-
day night last man by the name of John
West was discovered providing around the place,
under circumstances which led to the conviction
that he was an instrument in the removal of the
fuel West was arrested by officer scroggins
and taken before AID Hamilton, where he 0he
accuse0 begged so pitifully that the prosecu-
ton agreed to let him go upon the promise that
lie would never steal any more, not even in small
Quantities.

EN According TO the published call, meet
ing of the Stockholders of the Wheeling Lii.
orary Association was held last night at the
Court House. Major Loring was called to the
chair, and w. Brockunier appointed Secretary
On motion of Mr.. Richardson a committee Of
five were appointed to submit names for Presi-
dent, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer,
as well as Board of Directors for the asso.
citation during the coming year.
Considerable discussion arose as to how many
should compose the Board and as to whether
the Secretary and Treasurer, as we'll as the
President and Vice President should be, ex- otti.
clio, members of the Board. It was finally de-
cided that the Board should consist of the
President and Vice President Cer.06iGi0) and
nine Directors
1t is proper and perhaps necessary that we
should state in this connection that these nomi-
nations were being informally made in order to
conform to the provisions of the act applying
to bodies petitioning the Circuit Court for
charter. 1t was rather cart before the horse
sort of business but was sine Qua non to fur
ther proceedings.
The Committee of Eve retired and reported
the names of certain gentlemen 70. the aforesaid
official posts. These names were submitted to
the meeting, together with others added by pro-
miscuous nomination. The following were the
list of officers chosen:
PREsIDENr.-Major Loring. VIcE PRESIDENT
IN. Richardson, Esq. SEcKErARY.-Dr. Baird.
TREAsuRER-W. Brockunier. BOARD OF d.
KEcToKs.-Messrs. NJ, Reilly, n. Pigrnan, L. H.
Logan, J. G. Baker, c. w. Russell, w. j. Bates,
John H. Hall, James Wilson, and David Bayha.
On motion committee of three (Messrs.
Richardson, James Wilson and DIR. Batesl were
appointed to draft a Constitution and By: Laws
to report to the next general meeting. On mo.
ton it was resolved that the next general meet
ing should be held on the evening of the Sd
Monday in June next until which time the

Hy-7 The .Street.-The time of year has come
when our streets should be thoroughly cleaned,
and we call the attention of the proper officer to
them. There are parts where the winters dirt
still remains, not only an eye-sore, but the seed
Of disease, There are many others equally bad.
If this is not removed now, the hot sun will
soon make it dangerous to disturb it. and it
must then remain during the season, or be
opened to extend its malaria through the city.
The experience of all is, that tho cleaning of
streets should be done before the hot weather
comes on.

BUSINESS NOTICES.

sW Beauty for ashes What is more an
noying to a lady or gentleman than to have face
covered with 51otcAeS, or pimp5es. There are
many thus affected, and particularly at thi sea-
son of the year.
All such disagreeablc eruptions may be re-
moved by using BreatLtnger's Fluid Extract of
SarsaparilM. 1t is better than any cosmetic,
externally applied, because it Purifes the blood,
and gives the flesh n clear, healthy appearance.

house, and the day it was missing Ratliff had

and it is supposed that he discovered the purse
and hid it on his own account. Turner was
suspected and his movements closely watched
until last week, when he sold his claim, for
which he received $l70, and left as he said with
the intention Of going to the States. He stopp-

MINING ACcIDENT.-A serious accident oc-
eurred at the Nebraska Shaft last Saturday
morning. AT seven O'Clock, the time for shift
ing hands, six men got into car to go down
the inclined shaft into the drift. and started
the car down before the engineer had time to
connect the couplings Of the drum and shaft,
and the car started down the incline at light
ming speed. The engineer, seeing the danger
caught hold Of strap which was hung around
the drum to check the car when running with
out load. As the car was checked, Samuel
Dayton who was standing in the front was
thrown out, and the car run over him and was
thrown from the track. About this time four
Of the men jumped out, but Thomas Godfrey
remained in the car which continued to run at
. rapid rate to the bottom; he was considerably
injured, but will recover in week or two.
Dayton was seriously injured; his back was
broken. one knee put out of joint, and he was
otherwise badly bruised aud cut. lie is not ex-
Pce:ed to recover. The four who jumped from
the car were not injured. The track is four
hundred and forty feet in length, and inclines
at an angle Of forty-ive degrees. The accident
was occasioned by the carelessness of the men
who got into the car, as they had frequently
been cautioned not to start it until the engi-
neer was ready.

PRIMARY EIEcTIoN.-The administration par
y held their primary election in this place for
delegates to the County Convention, on Satur-
day. Considerable effort was made to drum
up voters, but the affair passed off very tamely.
The number of votes cast was 364--being 5l4
less than we're polled at the Popular Sovereign
~ election on the Saturday previous. Dele
gates in favor of Henry Meredith for Congress
were elected with little opposition. Their
names are as follows II. Meredith, A. Casa
mayou, A. t. Laird, Caspar Haupt, W. +. An
derson, II. Mills, J. G. Duffy, S. Mccoy. We
have not the names Of the delegates elected in
the other precincts, but the vote of the county
will doubtless be cast for Meredith in the State
Convention. We are not aware of any contest
having been made in any part of the county
for Governor. and for that Office the county
delegation will probably be divided.
