FEAST OF TABBERNAcLEs, (SUCcoTH)
The days of fasting and humiliation
Of the Israelitish nation having closed'
and they having made peace with their
God and their brethren, a season OF les
tiyity now commences, as tho harvest
home has at all times and amongst oil
nations been considered as a season OF
bilarity and feasting The Israelites, in
possession of their own land, blessed
rirh abundance, and favored with all
the lifts of a bountiful Providence,
which a rich soil, a salubrious climate
and a land OVERLOOKING with milk and
honey could produce, had cause, beyond
most other nations, to exult IN tho per
mission to express their gratitude to,
wards the God OF their fathers, wEo had
released them from the house Of bon
dage, protected them during their wan"
deTings in the wilderness, and settled
them in the land of promise. To them
He entrusted His laws, and appointed
them as the guardians of His command

VINEYARD.-We called the attention
of vine growers, and the public gener-
ally, few days ago, to the fact that
the splendid vineyard owned by Mr..
Moore, on Wheeling Island, is offered for
sale. Since that time we learn that an
association of gentlemen in this city is
being formed for the purpose of purchas-
ing the property and attending to the
culture Of grapes and tho manufacture
and sale of wine The vineyard in ques'
ton is one of the finest in this vicinity
and is easily worked,
The grape growing interest in the
vicinity of Wheeling is rapidly assuming
large proportions. Already very con
siderable amount of capital is invested
in it, and yields very handsome returns.
New vineyards are sprlEging into exist.
encs all over the hills which surround
and crowd upon the city, and the cry
is, still they come" We are glad to note
these evidences of business activity on
the part of our citizens, and are satisfied
that as many vineyards as can be plant.
ed in this neiShborhood will yield a
profitable return to their owners and pro-
mote the welfare of the city at large.

CLEyERLY ToLp.-There was sensa-
tiou story afloat short time ago about
q man in Mobile who, in committing su'
icide, cut off his head and hid it so eff
tectually that no one has ever been able
to find it. The circumstance excited the
envy of some chap out West, who thus
tells of a horrible affair that recently oc-
Cured ont in his section:
"An Indian there who had lived IN
happily with fifty or sixty squaws, de-
termined upon suicide. Desiring that
no one should be able TO identify any
portion of him, he cut off both legs and
carried them about five miles into the
woods, on foot and alone. He buried
them, and then cut off both his arms,
which he carried some five miles further
and buried. Then cutting ont his tongue,
that he might be unable to tell any one
he might meet who he was, he proceed
ed several miles further, chanting his
death song as he went. He finally cut
eff his own head, and after amusing him
self for some time kicking it about as a
football, making the woods ring with his
shouts of merriment, he hid it in the
trunk of q tree; and then, digging
grave with his own hands, he got
IN, covered himself up, and planted a
very handsome tombstone at the head of
his grave Where is your Mobile man
| now?'

P0MCE.-Thepe was but one case be
fore the Police Court Yesterday and the
prisoner was more proper subject for a
house of refuge oran insane asylum than
for the county Jail, Bridget Russell, Il
detected iomale, who has every appear
ance Of hayiog seen better days, and g 40
# seem, has not been in her proper mind
since tho sudden death Of her husband,
was arraigned on charge of being
drunk and disorderly, and was fined ten
dollars and costs, in default of payment
# which she was sent to Jail for thirty
days.
il seems that during the rain about
ten o'clock on Tuesday night, Bridget
went into Renner's saloon III Centre
Wheeling, and called for drink OF
whisky, which was given her and quick
ly swallowed. She took seat in the
bar-room, and soon a number Of men
came in and called for drinks. when
The drinks were poured out, the men
stood talking together, and Bridget
stepped up and seized one of the doses
and drank it. This caused trouble in
the camp, and Bridget declared that she
could whip any one or all OF the crowd.
She proceeded to demolish things gener
ally, and was rapidly effecting the work
# destruction when she was arrested
aud taken to the lookup.

FATAL FALL.--A dispatch received
ia this city from Baltimore, states that
W Sunday afternoon Mrs. Mary Cowan
whilst in the act of stepping from a
chair to her bed, fell to the floor with
such violence as to cause her death in q
short time Physicians were quickly in
attendance, but at once pronounced her
injuries of fatal character, in view of
her prsyious delicate health, and the fall
having produced internal hemorrhage.
Mrs. c. was quite young woman, hav.
ing been married only some five months.
Her husband, Mr. VIM. Corwan, has
for some time past been working in this
city.

The HARVEST MOON.-We suppose 1t
O., hardly necessary to remind our read
ella, especially those who have studied
astronomy, that this is the season OF she
harvest moon, so called, according to
Watts, because it is "lunation in the
season of harvest, or about Che time Of
the autumnal equinox, when the moon
IS full, or rises Immediately after sunset
for several consecutive days--a phenom
enon owing to the small angle made By
ihe eoliptic and the moons orbit with
The horizon at this season Of the year"
We give this definition for the benefit of
those who understand it, Bombastes
Furioso, or somebody else, said, under
the inspiring influence of the harvest
MOON
Now shall the farmers gather in their crops
and busy tradosmen mind their crowded shops.
But the case was somewhat different il
those days. Then the farmers had crops
which delighted their hearts and filled
their purses and the SHOPS" were crowd
ed from early morn TO dewy eve with
good cash custimers. Now money il
scarce and trade dull; and as we look
upon the harvest moon, the harbingel
formerly Of season of prosperity, VT
sigh for the good old days that used &C
was" but now alas are not.
