BEILAIRE ITEMS. On Wedncsday
evening, Of last week, the jcwclry store
of II. Leonhart WAS entered about o.
clock, and robbed of about $1,000 worth
Of watches, jewelry, &c. The thief, or
thieves, are supposed to have entered by
the back door whilst Mr.. Leonhart, who
sleeps in the shop, was out. He had just
closed his shop to go to the post Office,
and had left the lights burning until he
returned. On his return he found the
shop completely gutted of everything
valuable and no trace of the perpetra-
tors of the theft. The officers have been
making efforts to obtain some informa-
tion of the whereabouts Of the scamps
but have SO far completely failed to do
so. This Is the second time, within
year, that Mr.. Leonhart has suffered
from the visits of the light fingered
gentry. -.' W.
The G. & p. r. r. has erected new
depot just above where the old ticket
Office stands, which is very much more
creditable affair than the old one was.-
Tho building is $50 feet long and so feet
wide and has large and commodious sit
ting rooms, well furnished for both ladies
and gentlemen, as we'll al convenient
freight, baggage and Office rooms. We
congratulate our friend, w. Greenfield,
Esq, the gentlemanly agent Of the Road,
that he has such improved quarters fur
nished him. This Road has laid track
to the river and now load their freights
directly from the cars onto the boats at
the river. A fine wharf boat is kept at
the wharf for the convenience Of the
trans-shipment of freight.
DIR. NJ. w. Junkins, J. Mitchell and
S. Burson are each erecting a new brick
dwelling house on Belmont street, op-
posite the Presbyterian Church.
f. Hecker, the wheeling Stogy"
manu'act rr,whose card is published in
the Belaire Directory in another column,
is erecting brick dwelling house and
ore room, on Belmont street, opposite
his present establishment. 1t is said by
Bellaireans that Hecker's "stogies" beat
the original Wheeling stOges. ...r
Gen. G. w. Hoge is about to open a
private banking institution for the ac-
commodation Of the people of Bellaire.
This we think will be found profitable
business, and will, no doubt, prove a
great benefit to the business men of til e
place. After long and intimate ac-
quaintance with Gen. Hoge, we take
pleasure in recommending him to the
business men of Bellaire as a gentlem n
every way worthy of their confidence
and patronage.

getting ready to catch "Old Kris Kingle"

splendid painting of 1.-THE wise men Of

be the happy person to get the picture? :?
Let every body put himself on his good

commendable appreciation by our people

make them interesting and power in

HARLAN ps. WooDs-A Bio ISLANDER
SUIT.-The case of Ldpina Harlan vs..
Lc,0is Woods and WIFE was called in the
Common Pleas, before Judge Way and a
jury, on last Thursday afternoon. The
following gentlemen comprised the jury:
David Deselms, 4 Alexander Patton,
VIM. II. Mcbride, Charles III. Arick,
Marsh. Thompson, William Darrah,
James Duncan, William Harvey,
James Henderson, Curtis Bright,
Euclid Scatterday, J. ID. Alexander.
Theplaintiffwasrep by Messrs.
d. d. T.. Cowen, Gibson l.. Cranmer (of
wheeling) and r. e. Chambers; the de-
PENDANTS by Messrs. b. S. Cowen, l.. Dam
ford and G. w. Hoge.
The parties all live in Martinsvilie.-
Miss Harlan is daughter of Lieut.. Col.
Harlan, late of the l26th Ohio Infantry
Mr.. Woods and wife are old and well
known citizens of Martinsville.
Miss Harlan was (and is, we believe,
receiving attentions at the hands OF MIR.
Alexis McSwords of Martinsville, and II
4. l. IL, ,,1,irtif that Mira w
said to the mother of McSwords: I" III
"Lavina and Alexis are not married, she
sis q ruined girl; folks are talking about
"his going there and staying all night
"while Mrs. Harlan was away at Par
kersburg." eve give this from recol-
lection, but believe they are substantially
the words charged in the petition.) In
reply, the defendant denied speaking the
words.
About one hundred witnesses were ex-
amined. The case was foughtwith great
tsnacity OH both sides, and was conduct
ed with signal ability. The law propo-
sitions were managed by the Messrs.
Cowen, father and son, and considera-
BILE amusement was created occasionally
by the vigor with which either gave OF
parried the thrust of his antagonist
The arguments were made by Messrs'
Chambers and Cranmer for the plaintiff,
and by Mcssrs. Cowen, ST., and Danfort
for the defence. We heard only one oi
the arguments-that of Mr.. Danford-
and we &C nsider it one of the finest jury
efforts we ever heard in that court room.
The venerable Judge Cowen spoke about
Ave hours. Mr. Cranmer closed the case
for the plaintiff at about 10Y o'clock on
Tuesday morning, and, after the charge
from the Court, the jury Immediately re-
tired for 'deliberation. After being out
about two hours, the jury returned to the
court room aud reported that they found
the issues for the defendant.
The case was managed well by the at
torneys, the rulings of the Court were
fair and impartial, and the charge to the
jury satisfactory to both parties.
We might point to moral, in connec'
ton with this case, but God knows these
parties have passed through a severe
enough ordeal to serve rs lesson to them
for the balance of their lives; aud we are
sure the lesson will not be lost OH the
hundreds who listened to it's recital IN
Court.
