az LARGEST DAILY. rR1-wEEKLY, AND WEEKLY
CIRCULATION, OF ANY PAPER IN WHEELING.
"BETTIE," who sends usia letter from Bethany,
in to days paper, writes that is just sim
Pile little sketch of a delightful evening in the
woods; ''written just as it was, exactly"
-sO.R-
TAG proceedings of the Farmers Club of
Washington County, Pa, very intelligent
body of men, will be found on our first page.
We put great deal of faith in the observa-
tons of these men.
WE received, last night, letter from Mr.
Doane, late of Wheeling, now Of Leavenworth
City, Kansas, enclosing copy of the Leayen-
worth Times extra, in which most miraculous
accounts are given of the recent yields Of the
Pixies Peak gold fields.
Mr.. Doane says in his letter that "the parties
who furnish this recent news are well known
here, Geavenworth City,) and could have no
interest in exaggerating upon facts"
The substance of the news referred to we
have already published in our telegraphic col
umns.
WE have at our Office specimens Of
wheat. gathered by Mr.. j. NJ. Dillon, out in the
neghborhood of Short Creek. The dozen
punches comprise the different varieties, and are
in different stages of progression towards ma
turity. They have been looked over by callers
in since they were left and from their appearance
the general opinion is deduced, that some fields
have altogether escaped, while some have been
blasted outright. In some healthy looking
heads the kernels are found to be nipped and
wilted at the end, in others the body of the
grain is sunken, while in much Of the whole
collection the heads appear as sound as any we
ever examined.
We see in the Boston papers that Mrs.
Doll, in speech before the Women'S Rights
Convention, read letter giving an account of
young girl in Delaware, whose father was
nachinist. She was very DESTROYS to learn her
father's buliness. On being allowed to enter
the shop, she showed great ability, and made so
rapid advance rs to enable her (on the occasion
of her fathers death not many years after) to
take charge of the business. Her younger
sisters and brothers have learned the trade from
her; and she is now prosperous machinist;
keeping the business Of her father, and teach
ing it to her younger and dependent brothers,
and presenting living witness of the wisdom
of allowing girl perfect freedom in the choice
of an avocatiOn.
FnRouGn the columns Of the Boston Post,
Grimes, the phrenoogist and anti-spirtual
lecturer, gives it his opinion that the strange
things seen by the SpirtnaliSts are seen only in
Imagination; that the miraculous appearances
are ''all in their eyes" He says if he should
see pine table or other piece of furniture ris-
ing up in his room, or promenading the floor
without human agency, he should-what do
you think he would do?-go and take dose of
physc for he would know there was ''somc-
thing wrong inside"
Tue San Francisco Ecening Bulletin was
some time since summoned by the prosecutor
to answer charge of having violated the stat
Ste against obscene publications-the Bulletin
having copied from the New York or Washing
ton papers the report OF the Sickes trial The
latest arrival from California brings information
that the Bulletin has been convicted on the
trial of the complaint, and fined 500 for the
Otfcnse.
In the matter of the application of Mrs Cath
arine N. Forrest, to obtain divorce from her
husband, Edwin Forrest, an application has
been made in the Supreme Court of New York
city to authorize Commissioner to proceed to
San Francisco TO take oral testimony in regard
to the conduct of Mrs. Forrest while she was
residing in California.
THE twin daughters of Abraham Guise, of
Gettysburg, Pa, died there recently at the age
of A years. '"rhey were born and raised to-
gether-never separated for single night du-
ring their livestock the same disease, tmoasles)
died within few hours of each other and were
buried side by side in the same grave. They
Travelled lies path hand in hand, anu in death
they were not parted"
