HWIMPoRTANT SALE AND PURCHAs8.-
Some weeks since we suggested that some
eUterPrisIug men should purchase and put
to some practical use, the Wheeling Cotton
Mills, which have remained idle during
the war. We are glad to announce that
that this has been done. The mills were
sold to company on Saturday, who have
organised for thepurpose of establishing a
Tack and Stray. hipge manufsctory. 1t is
composed of practical business men and
mechanics, who interd to push the work
vigorously. The location is a very desir-
able one, aud the buildings we'll adapted to
the proposed enterprise. The price paid
fer the whole property machinery includ ed,
was only eighteen thousand dollars. A
second company has also been organised,
who propose to erect new works for the
same business. They expect to commence
operations at once. 1t will be seen from
these indications that our Wheeling men
are suterprisiug and prosperous. We are
confident that both these establishments
will prove highly successful, aud that the
starting of two concerns in this line will be
mutually advantageous.

1~ HORRIBLE MURDBR.-About two
o'clock on Saturday afte rnoon, a German
named John Smith, residing on Market
street, near the coal banks Of John Nolan,
committed most brutal murder by shooting
his wife with musket. The ball entering
her head just behind the ear, killed her al
most instantly, 1t appears that Smith is a
man of very incorporate habits, aud when
under the influence of liquor, was in the
habit of abusing bis wife, who is represent.
ed as very frugal and industrious woman,
who owned considerable property in her
own name. Fora day or two previous to the
commission of the crime, Smith and his
wife had been constantly quarreIing. The
evidence before the cOroner's jury was that
about the time mentioned, tho woman ran
out ofthe back door of the house into the
yard, but had gone but few steps when
the report of the musket was heard and she
fell. Witnesses heard the report of the
gun, saw the woman fall and also saw
Smith standing in the door with the gun in
his hand. From the position of the door
and the corpse, he was not more than fifteen
or twenty feet distant when he fred. The
body of the murdered woman presented a
most hortid and ghastly spectacle as it ley
on the ground swelteriug in blood. The
jury returned q verdict in accordance with
the facts, and Smith was committed to Jail
to await an investigation of the case. There
is no doubt that he will be fully committed
to stand his trial for murder. Fortunately
the wretched pair leave NO children to suf
fer in this terrible tragedy, 90 horrible ant
revolving in its every feature.
