FIonr.-There was "A "mill" for the
championship Of eight weights" near
the Tunnel, on Saturday. The parties
were Martin Friery and Frank Coyle.
Invitations were not extended to the
members OF the press, therefore we
cannot inform our readers whether or
not the fight was conducted according
to the rules and regulations OF the p.
r., nor give them the names OF the sec
Onds, the duration OF the fight, who
drew the first blood, what punishment
was INFLICTED each round, how many
rounds were fought, the time occupied,
who failed 10 come to the scratch final
ly, and who was declared the winner.
On this last point we have heard that
Coyle was declared the victor, but
there may be another side TO the story.
Nor do we propose to prosecute our in
quiries in-that direction to any very
considerable extent, as we do not think
It would be very gratifying to our read
ers to give them history OF such pro-
Ceedings in detail. We have too high
an opinion of them to believe any such
thing. We did not suppose that there
could be found in our city two persons
who would deliberately go out and beat
and batter each other for such homors
as are worn by Morrissey, Heenan and
McCoole, but it seems we have been
resting under a delusiou.
It is said that "heavy weights" will
soon meet on the same battle ground.
We trust such arrangements will be
made as will lead to the arrest and pun
fshment of all concerned.

CONTAMINATION neighbors over in
Bridgeport have just finished a beauti-
rul suspension bridge over the creek,
thus connecting them with the village
of Nirkwood. The structure presents
a fine appearance and reflects credit on
the architect and bailders. The span is
about go feet in length, and is calcula.
ted TO endure strain much greater
than any to which 1t will ever be sub
jected. The bridge just completed is
designed for foot passengers, but we are
informed that one on similar plan, for
wagons, &c, will soon be commenced
at point farther up thestream.
Mr.. VIM. Robinson drew the plaus-N.
Risher did the woodwork and VIM.
Bartholomew the iron work. What
say our authorities to new bridge at
the foot of Market street? Our citizens
suffer great Inconvenience every day its
construction is delayed -

DAsrARDLY,-Compla have been
made to us on several occasions, re-
Gently, of the outrageous conduct of
"a number OF boys and halfgrown men
Mt the colored peoples meetings on
Clay street. For several weeks services
have been held each evening by them,
in the old Baptist Church in that local
ity, and have been conducted with
decorum and propriety. tits true they
usually give more positive expression
10 their religious feelings than the An
gIo Saxon, yet that is no reason why
they should not be permitted to do so;
and no man, who has any respect for
himself or for his Maker, would intrude
himself in Il religious assembly, no
matter whether composed OF whites or
blacks, and disturb its proceedings.
Our information is to the effect that on
several evenings these people have been
compelled to bring their services to a
sudden termination on account OF those
coming there with no good object, and
the attention OF the authorities is re-
spectTully called to this gross violation
of law and the prophecies of civiliza-
ton.

ABOUT the first of August the Nc
Lure House changed hands, Messrs.
Mallonee, Morris IL Co., retiring, and
Messrs. W. +. Goodwin & Co., taking
charge. The new firm at once set to
work to place the whole establishment
in good trim, and, if possible TO restore
it to its former prestige. Carpenters,
plasterers, painters and paper-hangers
have been engaged ever since the
change, and although an immense
amount of labor and money has been
expended, the work is yet unfinished.
So far as it has progressed, it is of the
right character, and when completed
the Mcclure will be the largest
and best equipped hotel in this
region. Messrs. Goodwin & Co., are
urtiring in their efforts to render
their guests comfortable. and have
already demonstrated their ability "to
keep n hotel" in the largely increased
number OF patrons, both transient and
permanent. They have attentive and
faithful servants: and, from the Propri-
etors to the lowest subordinate, the sole
object seems to be to make the Mcclure
a first-class Hotel.

THE RIvER.-Since our last report
the river has taken another turn and
commenced to fill up. There have been
several arrivals and departures since
Saturday. The Dew Drop came up
from Parkersburg, and departed for the
same point, after remaining here but a
few hours. The New State arrived from
below and is now at the landing. The
Rover arrived from Parkersburg and
is still here. The Laura No. left for
some point down the river to take on II
load of oats.
Last night there were four feet three
inches in the channel, and rising slow
". A rise of nine feet is reported at
Oil City, and the Allegheny still COM
ing up. It begins to look now as If We
would have u river once more. The
Importer is at the landing and will
leave for st. Louis and st. Paul as
soon as the stage of water will permit.
The st. Mary's will depart for Cairo
and st. Louis. Wednesday evening.
Capt. Sweeney will be in command,
and will see that passengers and freight
are properly provided for.
a small fight occurred on the Rover
yesterday, during which both parties
fell into the river. They were res
cued, and came out wetter, if not wiser,

YESTERDAY being The first Sunday
of the Seventh Jubilee of the Rsforma-
ton, was observed by tie Lutheran
Church throughout the world, as day
of special thanksgiving and prayer.
The English Lutheran Church, corner
Monroe and Fourth street, was hand
sOmoly decorated for the occasion. I'm.
mediately behind the pulpit was a
handsome picture of Martin Luther, the
great Reformer, surrounded by flowers
and beautiful clusters of vine
and moss, interviewer. On the
walls were several notices. The
letters were formed of moss and
certainly were very tastefully arranged
in their respective places. We noticed
one in particular, OUR JUBILEE-pro-
mise one thousand dollars, which we
believe is to be appropriated to the new
church building to be erected next
spring on their lot. corner OF Fourth
and John streets. The services OF the
day were conducted by the Pastor,
Rev. S. B. BarnitZ, assisted by the
Rev. Goodlin, of Canton, Ohio; the
latter gentleman filling the pulpit
morning and evening.

BOARD OF HEALTH.-The monthly
bill OF mortality of our city for the
month OF October is published in our
columns this morning. 1t will be seen
that the actual number of deaths with
in the corporation during that period
was only twelve. We venture the as
sertion there is not another city in the
country, of equal population, that can
show az clean bill of health AS our
own. An examination of the books in
the Health office shows that during the
last fifteen years the corresponding
month of no year exhibits a mortality
30 small by 100 per cent; and also, that
during the last seven years in no
month does the number fall SO low by
the same per cent. These facts speak
well for the heaIthfnlness of Wheeling,
and we call the attention of those who
propose to change their residences, to
them, asking that this important con-
siderntion be given its due weight in
coming to conclusion.

GoYE-we made a note of the demo-

GoNE.-we made a note of the demo-
litiou OF the old Union Hotel, on the
corner OF Main and quincy streets, at
the time it was commenced. For some
reason, although everything else on the
premises was removed months since,
the old sign post, with the old weather
worn sign board, was permitted to re-
main. The latter was blown from ITS
moorIngs during a gale some weeks
ago, leaving the post, with its huge
frame, the only relic of the past, to re
mind US of what it formerly was ana
the purpose which II had served.
Saturday morning it, too, hadto yield
to the march of improvement, and to-
day this old guide-post 10 good cheer
and plenty within the brick and mortar
walls of .he Union" in its halcyon
DAYS. now lies low in the mud and debris
o! the street To some of the older citi-
zens, who for forty years have been
accustomed TO see this faithful sentinel
on duty at that corner, and who have
"many times and off," rested beneath
the shadow ofits ample board, the an
ncuncement offs removal will causea
deep-drawn sigh, and, may be, a tear
TO start. The memories ofgay and festive
scenes that have transpired in the days
OF other years within the precincts over
which it kept watch and ward, will,
perhaps, be re-awakened, and fresh
regret of pleasures past, and another
wish for return of the "good old
times" will silently and involuntarily
force themselves upon the minds OF
those who were among the happy par
Elephants.
And then, too, to the younger class of
our community, this old post is not
without interest. To them it WAS ia
miIiar object when they first yentured
from The parental roof and walked the
streets unattended by nurse or watch
rul parent. It has witnessed their
growth from helpless infancy to sturdy
manhood, mingIing with the busy
crowds on our thoroughfares; their inn
mersiou in commercial pursuits in
sunshine and in storm; their trials and
difficulties in times of business convul-
sions, and their triumPhs over all bar
riers in their course to competency and
independence.
Huge manufactures, with tall Chin
neysopouring forth dense volumes of
black smoke, have sprung up around
it, and miles of streets, lined with spa
cious business houses and elegant resi-
dences, have been established since it
was planted. Troops of children have
romped and played at its feeti-gay
aud brilliant parties have marched in
procession on the pavement Swallowed
by it. Long and solemn funeral trains,
bearing citizen or stranger to his final
resting place, have filed past it, and
now with all these memories and asso-
Citations clustering about it, this hon
ored, faithful and reliable old land
mark has been ruthlessly removed.
What its future may be, we know not.
We know only its past, and it is rich in
historic interest. We fear, however,
that the honorable scars it bears will
not save it from still further desecra-
ton, as we have seen CeIt aud Teuton
cycling it as to its adaptabiliIy to heat
some great clay oven. Peace to its
ashes.
