A TRIP Spo1LED.-On Sabbath morn
ing two young men went to a Livery
Stable in Centre Wheeling and hired q
horse to &c to Triadelphia. They made a
bargain, declaring that they were going
directly to Triadelphia, and the horse
should rest the balance of the day Go
ing up street, they took another passen-
ger, and then began going around the
city, apparently to see where they could
get the most palatable whisky. The liv-
cry man happened to be up town, and
saw the three worthless "splurging" at a
terrible rate. He ran out and caught
hold of the horse, which was almost ex-
hausted by the fast driving, and declared
they should have the vehicle no longer
The three declared they would not give it
up as they had hired it for the day. The
livery man held on, however, and kept
going down the street The men began
to resist, when officer Vail was called to
the rescue, and the men were obliged to
torego their proposed trip.

IMPORTANT c APTURE-Day before yes
terday a military officer in this city saw
four suspicious looking characters Turk
ing around board pile in the vicinity OF
his residence. He watched them for
some time and being finally convinced in
his own mind that they entertained some
unlawful intent he organized himself
into an expedition for their capture or
dispersion. Aiming himself with a cOu,
ple of revolvers be sailed forth and,
meeting medical gentlemanl of some
prominence in the city, he communicated
to him the object of his expedition and
attached him to his personal staff. Thus
reinforced, he executed flank move
ment, surprised the suspicious party,
surrounded them and compelled their
surrender. They were marched out up,
on the street and a council of war was
held to determine what was to be done
with the prisoners. No evidence of any
overt act Of guilt being available, it was
thought best to parole them and order
them to disperse. As soon as the order
was given the released Migrants skedad-
