In the great battle near Richmond some Con- federate soldiers were under arms for six days on the battle field. They stood in line until they dropped asleep or fell from sheer exhaus- tation. During the long hot days and in the watches of the night, msEs Of the ladies of Rich mond were seen passing up and down the lines with baskets, pitchers and peil8, giving the sol- diers coffee CT 6ood, arA->ev7~asing-t -them.-- While the shells were hurling through the air and the bravest held his breath for time, y fair women moved about, bringing water to the thirsty, food for the famishing, and smiling through their tears, told the soldiers to be Of good cheer. Were not such women worth fight ing for?

Sag PETER Paul BEcK.-Peter Paul
Beck, who died at his residence in this city
on Tuesday morning, deserves more than a
passing notice at our hands. He came to
this country from Germany aud located in
Wheeling in 1871, without money aud with
out friends. He commenced as a common
laborer, and after few years went into the
coopering business in small way. By the
-indefatigable industry and strict attention
to business, which characterized his whole
career here, he soon acquired sufficient
means to engage in the business of brew,
ing ale and beer, which he prosecutedwith
such remarkable success, that others, en-
couraged by his example, engaged 10 the
same work, and were equally successful.
Heis said to have died possessed of for
tune of 100000. Atthest time ofhis death
he was still in the prime of life, being only
30 years of age, and the possessor of re-
markabls physical strength. He was al
ways liberal, public spirited citizen,
whose loss will be severely felt in thiscom-
munity, and whose example in every re-
spect might be safely followed by those
starting out inilife. He was buried yestcr-
day afternoon in the Peninsula Cemetery,
aud his remains were followed to the grave
by large procession of friends.

A-A FAIruLEss HARPIsr.-Last Sum.

ES~A FAITHLEss HARPIsT.-Last Sum
mer there appeared ia this city. carrying a
harp. one Louis Angelo, an Italian. BE
5fscoursed sweet music to this admitting
nopulace Tor several weeks. or as long as
be could make it psy. when one morning
he shouldered If> harp aud put o"t tor
foreign ciimes. During his Stay ia the city
he formed the acquaintance of one Mrs.
Gordini, widow, with whom he boarded
tora short time. About the middle of last
month Angelo returned to the city with
others of his kind, ''pIying his avocation,"
and again took boarding at the house of
Mrs. Gordiui, who is or was doing some
thing in the plaster of Paris way. Angelo
played another star engagement, and after
picking up a good deal of loose change he
picked up his harp as before and started
on his journey, leaving between two days.
He may have been induced to leave in the
night to avoid the fierce rays of the sun,
and he may have desired to avoid Mrs.
Gordini, between whom aud Angelo loud
conversation had taken place the day be-
fore, the woman charging Angelo with
having accomplished her ruin.
The fact that Angelo had scarcely taken
the road until Mrs Gordini was upon his
track sustaius this last superstition. She
overlook him about nine or ten miles east
of the city. and the woman made such a
fuss as TO attract the attention of persons
passing, one of whom upon hearing the
facts of the case represented himself as a
magistrate, and threatened to have Angelo
arrested if he did not marry the woman
After some hesitation Angelo agreed to
marry Mrs. Gardini, but when it came to
the sticking point, the magistrate was
afraid to perform the ceremony very prop
erly considering that he might, by so doing,
lay himself liable to an arrest for. the as
sumption OF official dignity. The magis-
trate, however, conducted the parties to- a
house by the wayside, aud started of, as
he said, to procure the proper authority. =
Whilst he was gone, Anglo, leaving his
harp hanging upon the fence, started down
a little creek to battle his heated brow, and
it was remarked as a very singular cOinci-
dencs that neither Angelo or the self CON
stituted official ever returned Mrs. Gar!
din; waited until towards evening when
she put the harp "a very valuable one and
now for sale) upon a wagon and brought
it home with her. II is to be hoped that
the instrument may serve good purpose
in alleviating the distress aud the grief to
which she has come.
