/
that her companions Wheeling friend
had as little honor Eas his. accomplish.
Inquiry concerning Miss Nettie's lover
was made, but neither his letters nor
the name he had given afforded any
clue to his identity, aad his picture with
that of .Fanny's lover, had unintention-
ally been left behind. Mr.. x. had little
doubt, however, that Miss Nettie had
been deluded by young man when he
knew to be fast friend and boon COM
panion of Miss Fanny's deceiver, and
who left the city with the latter about
the time of the ill-starred visit to D,
from which so much of calamity had
come.
Foreseeing that nothing but shame
and sorrow could result should the girls
prosecute their research and endeavor
to bring their betrayers to justice, and
satisfied that the details of the affair
were known only to himself and the
parties most intimately concerned, he
advised Miss Fanny and Nettie to re-
turn quietly to Massachusetts,, account
in some way for their absence, keep
their own secret, which fortunately had
not betrayed itself, and possibly their
good names might survive their indis-
erection. He was satisfied that their
betrayers would never boast of
their perfdy, and save from these
and themselves the girls had nothing
to fear for their regulations. The advice
was sensible and they resolved to
follow it. Their exchequer, well nigh
exhausted, was replenished by Mr.. ",
and the next train bore them homeward,
wise with the bitterest lesson of expe-
rience, and fortunate in escaping life
of shame, mournful illustration of the
headstrong folly that is permitted to
breed in boarding schools, and of the
shrewd villainy which is ever ready to
lead to death those smart young misses
of the land, whose obstinate cenceit will
see no danger in filtration" until
taught that she who lays aside her mod
esty invites the libertine to rob her of
her chastity.

FATAL ACCIDENTAL fatal accident
occurred in a stone quarry near Glen

party of men were at work in the
quarry, when some heavy rock from
above became loosened and fell in on
them, killing one and seriously wound
ing another. The name of the man
killed was Mccain, the other Williams

lived but about twenty minutes. The
recovery of Williams is doubtful, as he
is injured internally.

Yesterday morning about
8 o'clock, horse attached to the front
wheels of lumber wagon, owned by
Armstrong, Holiday IL Co., started
from the lower end of Marke: street
and run up the street until he came to
the corner of Market and Monroe streets,
when he appeared to be undecided as
to which course to take. Without much
meditation on the subject, and probably
not having been fed in the morning, he
dashed frantically for Bayha's baker
wagon, which was standing on the
street, which ho Event through" and
continued in a rather reckless trot up
the street until lie arrived at Arm
strong's plading mill, where he come to
halt.

SENT on THEIR WAY REJoICING.-A
few days ago two ladies arrived in this
city in perfectly destitute circumstan-
ces. Their story was o sad one. Ten
DAYS ago they left the residence of their
brother in Altoona, Pa, (where they had
been visiting) for their home at Mount
Vernon, Ohio. At Pittsburgh, while
changing cars, they were robbed of
their tickets and every cent of money
they possessed. By the assistance OF
kind friends they were enabled to reach
Wheeling. Here their case soon came
to the knowledge of the Y. N. {. A.,
and the unfortunate ladies were
proyided with entertainment at the
Stamm House. On the afternoon of the
day after they reached here they were
nv the Association furnished with tick
cts over the Central Ohie Railroad
which would enable them to 60 on their
way rejoicing. There is good work
being done by the Young Mems Chris
tan Association here as well as else
where. The organization should re-
ceive every encouragement from our
people.

RIDING THE New MACHINE.-In We

tates is lost. The secret of safety is
equilibrium, and that at first is only to
be gained by boldness and speed Let
those who intend gaining the new &C
complishment recall the backfalls ard
starry visonsof their first skating days;
and, rlmcm Iering when they first found
safety in audacity, apply the same rule
to this velocipedal exercise.

AWARM EMBRACE.-AW Western paper
announces that delegates from the Gin
cinnati Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton went to Cleveland, few days
ago, and formed Young Women's
Christian Association, embracing 625."
Just think of the young men-the
christian young men-of Cincinnati,
going to Cleveland and embracing"
625 young women-christian young wo-
men. We feel sure the young men and
young women were all christians-be-
cause they do unto others as they would
have others do unto them.
We don't know but it would be pop
ular idea to have the enterprising Gin
cinnati missionaries enlarge their field
of operations. Now that the Cleveland
ladies have started the fashion, it would
doubtless be followed generally. 10
some it would be refreshing novelty;
to Others mere change of partners, but
still agreeable.

A DugMMA.-The Louisville Courier
tells the following: A steamboat on
the Ohio river is a fayorite place for the
location of ludicrous incidents. The
following is the last thing out: AS the
chambermaid of steamboat was pass
ing out of the ladies' cabin, an old lady
in plaintively husky tone, requested
her to close the door, as she had caught
such bad cold at Detroit that she was
almost dead. At this moment very
phthisical old lady, occupying berth
near the door, forbade her to shut 1T,
on account of her shortness of breath.
"Shut it, or I'll die," squeaked the De-
troit lady. Leave it open, or III
smother to DEATH" gasped the other.
As the war waxed warm, wag in an
adjoining cabin, thrusting his head
from his berth, decided the chamber
maids quandary by ordering her to open
the door until that Detroit lady dies OF
her cold-and then close it until the
other one smethers to death.

ANOTHER ELECTION BET.-True ".
Jones (Democrat) and Thomas B. Gam
mons (Repubiican), of Portsmouth, made
an obligation that whichever of their re-
spective parties succeeded at the last cleo
ton in New Hampshire, the defeated
champion should carry on his back two
from Portsmouth bridge to Creek bridge

Jones, the loser, yesterday performed the
feat in twenty three minutes accompanied
by two bands Of music), carrying banner
with an inscription indicating that the
weight upon his shoulders was not as
heavy as the taxation Of the people.
Mr.. Gammons closely followed him
with a banner indicating that the De-
mocratic party caused the heavy taxa
ton. After Jones had performed his
task, Mr.. Samuel Horton shouldered the
meal and carried it back for fun. The meal
was aftcrward sold at auction by NJ. T..
Betton & Co., auctioneerg, and was pur-
chased by Mr.. A. J. Sides for $40. The
streets through which the procession pass

enthusiastic crowd. The inscription on

TIE ARKANSAS ELECTloN.-Advlces re-

of the Congressional Republican Commit

viously received, that the Constitution is
ratified by from three to five thousand ma
iority. The district military commander
extended the time Of holding the election
several days in consequence OF severe
storms and high water, which prevented
the voters from reaching the polls. In
several counties no election was held, and
postponement has been made until the
last Of the present mouth. One-half OF the
Radical vote was cast BY white men. In
the more thickly populated negro counties
in,imiIa,ions were successfully used, 1t is
alleged, to prevent them from voting. In
one place the rebels attacked the polls and
forced the colorcd voters to vote against
the Constitution under threats of killing
them ii they did not do so. During the
melfe several negroes were woundeu.-
