In Town.
Yesterday we met our distinguished
and genial friend P. Hog, who retired
from the city several weeks ago to ru-
ralize in the country. When we last
saw him he was nothing but thin,
scrunty little pig, but now he has grown
up to be. man and hog of some pro-
portions. He regrets very much his
csrpulency, as he fears it will be the
death of him in cold weather. He re,
ports the fences all in good condition
in the country. and complains that, un.
less by special invitation, ID would be
impossible for any of his relations to
get living in the raral districts. The
dogs, he says, are very troublesome,
and seem to have taken perfect dis
like 10 his whole race, as they avail
themselves of every occasion to abuse
and insult him, when he is quietly seek
ing repose in some out of the way gut
ter or mud. puddle. Wemerely mention
the name and arrival Of Mr.. Hog, as we
think it due that his greatness should
be noted among others. .

A PitiabIe Object.

On Main street yesterday afternoon
we saw a poor old blind man peddling
He was truly an object of pity as he
greped his way through all that was
darkness to hin without single one tC
guide his steps, except all old hickory
cane. He set himself down on curb
stone, took out an ACCORDION and sang
and played few tunes to attract the
attention Of the passers-by to the arti,
cles he had for sale, which were matches
Perfumery, soap, &c. The appearance
of this old man, helpless aad alone, GER
tainly appeals to our sympathy ant
touches the tenderest chords of our ma
ture.

Interesting TO Young Ladi es Contenl.
plating Musrimony. n-..
A beautiful and very impressive GUS
tom prevails among the HISTORIAN
Christians, which will be found inter
estiug to those inclined to commit mat
rimony. 1t is thus related by the Rev.
Arthur Bogdan, "who has been there"
we mean to Nestoria:
After the marriage ceremony has been
performed the wedding party is taken
In wagons from the church to the house
of the bridegroom's parents. When the
second wagon, in which the bride is
seated alone, reaches the gate opening
into the yard in which the house is sit
mated, it is halted and the bridegroem's
mother comes to meet it, with a baby
and three suits of baby clothes in hand.
She throws the child and the clothes in
to the arms of the bride, who is required
to undress and dress the baby three
times in the presence of her mOther-in-
law, who watches every movement as
only mother-in-law can watch o
daughter-in-law. If the newly made
bride does not perform the operation to
the satisfaction of her severe judge, she
is considered unfit for her new position,
the wagon is turned around and she is
taken back homo for further instruc-
ton, and the poor bridegroom is com.
PEELED to live in single-blessedness until
his wife is educated to the proper stan
dard.
This may be very necessary custom
in Nesteria, but in this country, where
it is becoming fashionable to have no
children, it is of no use, and it would
be foolish to teach . young bride an
accomplishment that she never expects
to be of any account.

A Card.
To II. T. Patton, agent, Virginia House,
Wheeling, ". Ia
This is to certify that the Galvanized
Lightning Rods, manu- featured by Rey-
burn, Hunter & Co, three of which are
upon my house, are efficient in every
respect, and they did protect my house
from lightning, Notwithstanding the
reports to the contrary. had painted
the rods, which reduces their power OF
attraction, but even with this reduc-
ton they attracted the fluid and saved
the building. THOMAS SEAMAN,
Zane's Island, Wheeling.
We wer G shown q number of recon-
mendations in favor of this rod from the
most scientific men of the country, all
of which can be seen by calling on the
agent, Mr.. ii. t. Patton, at the Virginia
House,. It was also shown that during
the last year there were erected in New
York city over 100000 feet and in Phil
adelphia over 100000 feet of the Gal
vanized Lightning Rods. The manu-
facturers of this rcd will pay $500 to the
parties who use them in every instance
where they fail to perform service.

Baker Sewing Machine for near fifteen
years, and during that time has execut-
ed o vast amount Of work, never has
the machine failed to give satisfaction
on the finest or heaviest fabrics. No
bobbins, the thread running direct from
spools." So say hundreds of ladies in
this city who are using the machine.

Gravel Roofs.

Gravel Roof.
Mr.. George Crumbacker, of this city,
is fully prepared to put on gravel roofs
in the most improved method, nd war
rants his work to give satisfaction,
either in resisting fire or turning water.
The tar used is put through process
that frees it from oil aud benzole, and
no matter how great the heat, it will
not run. 1t is equally efficient in roofs
of every conceivable pitch. Mr.. Crum-
hacker keeps on hand roofing cement
and cement for tanks and sidewalks of
the best quality, and for sale at the low
est rates. This roofing has stood test
of fifteen years in Pittsburgh, and is the
cheapest in use. Call at the Factory,

Runaway.

Runaway.
As two horses, attached to q spring
wagon, were standing on Eoff street,
they got frightened, and started to run
at a frightful rate. They brought up at
the corner of Chapline and Third streets,
Centre Wheeling, where the wagon run
up against small tree and broke it off
from the roots, and separated the horses
from the wagon. The horses were here
caught, when it was found that one
of them was badly hurt while the wag-
on was only injured to the extent of the
loss of one wheel. The team belonged
to gentleman from the county named
Frederick Leikel. The runaway occur
red in the afternoon.

The Prize Fight.

The account of the prize fight be-
tween McCoole and Coburn in Wednes-

our efficient corps of reporters on the
ground, was perfectly correct.if the pro-
gramme had been carried ont. We are
not responsible now for how it ends, as
the sudden interference Of the Hoosiers
may have upset the whole affair.

Topic Of Yesterday.
The interest felt everywhere in the
McCoole and Coburn mill" swallowed
up all minor news yesterday. Every
man you would meet would hail you
with the question. "did you hear any
thing more about the fight" and what
do you think about it, is it going 70
come OFF, and thousand other ques-
tions of a similar character. The i'm
parchment question was ho where In
comparison, although its proceedings
were equally as barbarous as the Other
will be. If the fight don't come of we
will have to simmer down on theproceed,

which met at Clarksburg yesterday.
