RRGIsrRATIoN.-We were told, yes
terday, that the registration for the mp
preaching city election would not close

registrars of the different wards met at
the advertised places on last Monday,
and registered all who presented them
selves, and made the changes on the
lists where removals had taken
place since the last registration. The
time required by the statute to be devo
ted TO that object at public points is
but one day. The registrars, to accom-.
MEDIATE those who cannot attend on the
day named in the public notices. will
register all who can and wish TO do So
until Monday morning next ut nine
O'Clock, at their residences-at leust we
were SO informed by one OF them yes.

RoBBERY.-On Tuesday night The
grocery of Mr.. Caldwell, on Quincy
street, between Fifth and Sixth, was
broken open and robbed. The robbers
effected an entrance through tho cellar
door, and then forced open an inside
trap door admitting them into the store
room. They were evidently in search
of something besides groceries, as
nothing of any consequence was miss
ed blythe proprietor. The loss was but
trifling. No clue had been discovered
TO the perpetrators, yesterday after
noon. On Monday evening three Young
men, strangers to Mr.. c., entered his
store and askl Tor loaf of bread
Not being adealef in that article they
got none, and Immediately went into
Mrs. Shields farther up Quincy street.
There they got the bread. and while one
ofthe party was mixing tho purchased the
others succeeded in stealing the key of
the door. Discovering tho theft after
they had left, Mrs. s. bolted and barred
the door, and sometime during the
night was aroused by noise as OF some
one trying to unlock it The robbers
became aware that they were discover
cred, and left uDceremOniously. The
city is full of these thieves, and our
citizens cannot be too wide awake to
thwart them in their wicked designs.

WHEN THE PLANTATION BITTERs
were first made known to the Ameri.
can people some seven years ago. it
was supposed that they were an entirely
new thing, and had never before been
used. So far as their general use in
the United States is concerned, this
may be true. 1t is also true that the
same Bitters were made and sold in the
Island ofSt. Thomas, over forty years
ago, as any old planter, merchant or sea
captain doing business with the West
indies will tell you, 1t is distinctly
within my recollection that on the re-
turn OF my father (who was sea cap
tain, aud doing an extensive trade in
the tropics he would invariably have
these Bitters among the ships stores,
and our family sideboard was never
without them. For any sickness, it
matters not how severe or trifling, the
decunter of the Bitters, by a different
name, was always resorted to as SOW
ereign remedy.

best imported German Cologne, and

RIVER NEws.-The only sign of life
about the landing, yesterday, was the
departure OF the Rebecca for Parkers-
burg at her regular hour, and the Col
den Eagle for Cincinnati in the even
ing. Both had fair trips-the latter
having among her passengers quite a
number of the members of the Legisla-
ture residing in the south western Sec
ton OF the State. The marks indicated
seven feet in tho channel and rising
slowly. Tho ice has almost entirely
disappeared, and is not now n serious
impeachment 10 navigation.
We met on the landing, Capt. T. G..
Sweeney, who reached home from New
Orleans on Thursday last. He reports
the st. Marys as doing good business
in.the WashIta river trade. She has been
making fast time on several occasions,
having run two hundred and ten miles,
during one trip, in nineteen hours, and
on another, in eighteen.

RR-UNIoN.-Th scholars and friends
of the Sabbath School. connected with
the English Evangelical Lutheran Mis-
sion in this city, had pleasant re-
union, last evening, in the hall used by
the congregation for public worship.
We were told that in Germany such an
occasion is styled Glove FEAST" but
that title does not comport with the
American idea of the terms employed
to denote the Agapse Of the early Chris
tians. This slight difference OF names,
however, did not prevent the little folks
Cand the larger ones, too, from enjoy
ing pleasant hour. Coffee, prepared
from the berry sent by the Lutheran
Mission in Africa, was served, and we
can testify after trial, that it was an
excellent article. Cake and other edi-
bles were handed. Each scholar in the
school was presented with neat paper
box filled with candy, and the beam
ing faces of the children bore
testimony that each little heart was
full OF joy. Choice music by organ and
choir was furnished, adding much to
the pleasure OF the occasion. About 9
o'clock the children were dismissed,
and sometime after the older members
of the. company retired we'll pleased
with the evenings entertainment. We
believe this school holds such "love
feast" annually, and we have no doubt
that 1t contributes much to keep up its
interest. The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Bar
nitz, was present and seemed to be in
his element. He is untiring in his eff
forts to please and profit the children
in his passionate. 4r..

CANED,-1lr.s a.. FL Barnes, member
of the House of Delegates from HRrri-
SON county, was handsomely ed1sed a
few days since by our genial and yen-
cradle friend. Samuel Irwin, Esq. The
stick was highly polished hickory,
and a likeness of General Grant had
been neatly inserted In IT. The Doctor
bore the Gaming very phflosophically,
and values very highly the instrument
with which it was inflicted.
We mention in this connection that
Doctor B. raised pole at his residence
near Clarksburgi on the day the Re
publican Convention assembled in that
place in May last. It was about 100
feet, high, and was cut for the purpose
in February-the Doctor remarkiug at
tho time, that it should be put up in
honor of General Grant. or the day
mentioned above, several of the dele
gates assisted In raising it, and when
that had been accomplished, a flag with
the names OF Grant and Colfax in
scribed thereon, was given to the
breeze. DR.. Barnes thinks this was the
first pole and flag put up in the State in
honor of the Republican standard
bearers.
As u member of the House OF Dele.
gates, the Doctor acquitted himself with
credit. He was always in his seat,
watching closely the interests of his
constituents Harrison county was
faithfully and ably represented in the
House and Senate, respectively, by
Messrs. Fleming, Barnes and Wer-
ninger. .... ........

FEsIIvAL.-The festival gotten up by
the colored M. E Church, on Fifth
street, closed last night. The attend
ance was about the Same as on the pre-
vlous evening. We noticed among those
present Generals Grant, Banks, and Il
son of General Stonewall Jackson.
Generals Pierce and Jackson (Stone.
WALL and Mr.. Seymour, did not attend,
although they were in the city. It is
not often that so many military nota-
bles are congregated in ono small city,
in time of peace, yet oura was so honor
ed last evening.
Tie festival wsH II financial success,
we were informed. Everything was
disposed of. Even the posi- Office at the
end of the hall had no dead letters in it
when the crowd dispersed. The congre-
cation is to be congratulated on having
raised sufficient sum to pay the bal
ance due their pastor. "Aunt Minty"

LAUNCH. = This afternoon, Messrs.
Wilson & Dunlevy propose to launch
from their boat Eyard in North Wheel
ing, the steamboat now being built by
them for the Northern Line Packet
Company. We could not learn thepre-
else hour at which the event would
transpire, but as the preliminary ar
rangements were going forward pros.
perously all of yesterday, it was
thought they would be completed by
one O'Clock to-day. A tug from Pitts
burg is TO tow her to that city, where she
receives her engines and completes her
outfit. The new boat, as yet nameless,
we believe, is a large craft, OF fine
mold, and will add TO the present rep
utation of our Wheeling builders.

SEVERELY HURT.-A saloon keeper
on Market street, named John Smith
was severely hurt on Monday nigh
under the following circumstances. A
party of hard characters entered his
saloon, and demanded tho oysters for
the crowd. Smith refused as he was
aware of the fact that they did not have
the money TO pay for them, they having
frequently played that game on him
They then asked for the drinks, which
Smith furnished them, thinking they
would leave and he would be rid OF
them. But in this he was mistaken, fol-
they had no sooner turned of the
benziue than they repeated their de-
mand for the bivalves. This was
again refused, when one OF them seized
a heavy iron poker and struck Smith
in the face, cutting fearful cash In
his cheek and knocking out three or
four of his teeth. Up TO last evening
the perpetrators of this dastardly out
rage had not been arrested. 1t is
believed they have left the city

mans body WINS not. discovered till
next morning. The train had cut him
into four or FIVE. pieces. the logs being
completely severed from the trunk
Flaherty, previous to the fatal night
had reputation for sobriety, but it is
said he got very drunk that night at

on his way to Bridgeport he lay down
upon the truck, and thus met his aw-

ALARM OF FIRE.-Yesterday about
one o'clock the fire department was
pretty generally aroused by an alarm
of fire over in Centre Wheeling. The
bells were rung very vigorously fOr
some minutes, but we believe there was
no great excitement created, the fact
that it was nothing more than the
burning out of n chimney, having been
quickly ascertained. As this is the
season of the year in which SO many
more and larger fires are necessary, ii
behooYes every one having charge OF
them to exercise extra care in theii
management, and to see that chimneys
and 1aues are kept in proper order. a
few minutes devoted to this matter
every day or two, may save the des'
truction of thousands OF dollars worth
of property, &aU .f S..
