INJURED.-We made mention some
time since of the fact that one of the
large journals in the Riverside Mills
had been injured by having u piece of
steel driven between it and its bearing.
1t required two or three days to repair
the damaged part, which was done,
however, and the immense machinery
OF the mills worked as smoothly as for
merly. Yesterday the journal on the
other end OF the same shaft commenced
cutting, and had made considerable
progress before it was discovered, That
department. of the mills was stopped and
a thorough search instituted to ascertain
the cause. It was thought that the DIFF
hculty might exist in the brasses, and
the shaft was raised up to make close
examination of their composition. We
have not learned whether any discover
les have been made up to the present,
but the investigation will be continued
until the cause is developed. We pre-
sumo the manufacture OF nails will 20
on in the meantime, as there is large
supply of nail plate on hand.

ceeded In making two arrests on Thurs
day night, and the parties were ar
raigned in court yesterday morning.
They answered to the names Of James
Campbell, and Mary his wife. Mary
had been before Judge Good about a
week ago on a charge of drunkenness,
but had been let or under promise
that she would leave the, city. Mary
kept her word,-left, but was not long
gone. We don't know that she was out
Of the corporation more than fifteen
her Jeems were raising disturbance
at q saloon in North Wheeling, on the
evening named. Jeems seemed to be
rather spectator than participant
in the trouble, and the case as to him
was dismissed. Mary, 1t was shown
by the witnesses, did the loud talking
and swearing. She even went SO far as
to strike the partner of her Joys and
sorrows a stout blow on the head, and
gave other evidences of belligerent
character.
Amer examining the witnesses, Judge
Good reprimanded the gentle pair and
set the husband at liberty. The wife
was required to pay five dollars and
costs, which she did not have; and while
her hege lord made for the street, she
retired to a sequestered cell in the lock-
up. Whether Campbell made any
effort to raise the currency demanded
by the city, we know not; and we
judged by his air as he strobe across the
room towards the outside world that he
was not particular as to the period Of
her release.

FoRBrDDEN.-The School Commits
sioners of Webster township yesterday
notified the teachers in charge of their
schools, that no more political meet
ingsshould be held in tho public school
houses, under penalty of dismissal. 1t
issaid that the furniture in the rooms
was more damaged and defaced at the
meetings recently held in the building,
than would be caused by a years ser
vice in the use for which 1t was in
tended. We believe that other town
ships would be benefited by following
the example set in Webster. In the
city there are other places where such
assemblAges can meet, and the neCes-
not exist.

DIsHoNEsT.-one of our citizens in
the Fifth Ward went to market, yes
terday morning, to purchase rations
for the coming four days. He came
across some very nice looking but
ter,-an indispensable article in this
season of buck-wheat cakes. The roll,
selected because of its supposed supe-
riority, happened to be larger than our
friend wanted. he determined to
purchase half of 1t IL the dealer would
divide 1t. The proposition was readily
Rssented to ana it was the work of biit
a moment to sever the golden roll in
twain. When that operation had been
performed and the interior had been
exposed, 1t was found to be an excel
lent quality of-Ldrd. 1t is an old say
ing that "all is not gold that glitters.' -
In this instance 1t was equally true that
all is not butter that looks like it.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Yesterday morn
ing, as the Rebecca was coming up the
river, and after she had passed BoRgs'
Island, Mrs. Heaton, who had come on
board in company with her husband,
at Petersburg, while sitting on a sofa
in the cabin, suddenly expired. Mr..
Heaton was an employee in the Clifton
Nail Works, in Mason county. His
wife, who was n native of this city,
as We are informed, had been
in delicate health for some time,
and being entirely conscious
of her condition, was extremely
anxious to return here for
medical treatment, as we'll as to have
the benefit of the society of her rela-
tives and former friends. To crafty a
desire SO natural, they LEFT their late
residence and had almost accomplished
the cherished object, when she was
smitten down. How true 'that in the
midst of life we are in DEATH"

In THE WRONG PEw.-A few days
since, one of those itinerant vendors of
oil cloth covers for tables, unconscious
ly entered the residence Of Justice, in
neighboring township. The worthy
official is strict observer of the laws
of the Commonwealth, and is noted for
his zeal in making others equally as
obseryant. The pedler spread out his
wares, and was proceedine to enlarge on
their qualities, when our official friend
who sat quietly listening, asked the oil
cloth man II he had taken out license ?
A new light seemed to dawn Instantly
on the merchants mind. He compre.
hended the situation "to wunst," and
without taking time to answer the
question or pack up his bundle he left
on the run and is running yet for any
thing we know, as he has neither been
seen or heard from since. His traps
were taken In charge by the justice and
will be sold at public auction in a few
days for tho benefit of the State.
