of the Merchants National Bank Of
Wheeling, held yesterday, john
Vance, Esq, was elected President,

Burglary.

burglary.
Nearly every day we record some
burglary being committed in our city
of characters so similar that we are led
to believe that they are all committed
by the same parties. Last night anoth-
er robbery of this description was per.
petrated upon the establishment of J.
II. Smith & Co., dry goods merchants,
No. 122 Main street. The usual instru-
ment (crow-bar) was used, and the same
similar marks as in other instances
were left on the door, the hasp of which
was broken of. The burglars tossed
about the goods generally, but only
carried away several pieces of calico,
muslin and handkerchiefs. Their loss
don't amount to great deal, but it was
altogether at the discretion of the bur
glars how much they tsok, as they
were in and left only when they were
satisfied.

II. g. O. IL. X. Depot Burned.

We copy the following from the Par
kersburg Times of February 18th:
Last evening few minutes after the
Sis train left Parkersburg and when
most or the II. r. employees were at
supper, the attention of those who re-
manned in the building was attracted
by the cry of fire, and Mr.. Rainsford,
not snspecting the fire to be so near ran
to the window, threw it open and
looked out Oh the freight sheds. Here
he was met by falling sparks from the
blazing dome of the main Depot build
ing, some of which blistered his neck
considerably.
Hundreds soon assembled to lend
whatever aid could be given, but 1T was
agreed upon by all hands that the main
Depot Building was doomed to destruc-
ton. A small engine belonging to the
Il. Il. Co. constituted the sole power to
force water on the fire; but line OF
buckets was soon formed to the river
and while with hooks, ropes and other
appliances the firemeu tore away and
hauled off the wood work which over
hung the freight depot.
The wind was blowing in the direc-
ton of the freight buildings and many
doubted the possibility of saving 1t.
The workmen, clerks and attaches OF
the Railroad Company worked nobly.
Our policemen were on the ground, and
kept good order-not a single article of
freight OF other property having been
lost except by fire, SO far as we could
learn. Mr.. Curtis, the agent, was in
defatigable in saving tho valuable
books and papers of the Company, and
we are pleased to be assured upon re-
liable authority that all the books OF
any considerable Importance to the road
were saved.
Chas. o. Rowe, ESQ., Telegraph Man
ager, being at supper when the fire was
discovered with the key of safe in his
pocket in which considerable money
was locked up, rushed ont of breath in
to the burning building, unlocked the
safe and secured the money and Other
