SURPRIsE.-Last Sunday, the penf-
Tertiary at MOundsville was the scene
of a transaction rather unusual in such
an institution. On that day the con-
viets presented the Rev. B. Ison, (who.
since he has been stationed in Mounds
vile, has regularly and faithfully la
bored with the prisoners for their
spiritual goodD twenty dollar green
back accompanied by the following
note:
REV. IsON:-You will please accent

feeling as they do, grateful to Won for
your christian labOrs kindly furnished
them by the promptings of a christian
heart. May you receive your reward
in the world TO come, and prosperity
whilst here upon earth. =.
The reverend gentleman was so com.
pletely taken by surprise that, for the
moment, he could not give utterance to
MS feelings. When he had regained
his seii-possesslOn, he rendered the do
nors his thanks in brief and appropri.
ate words.
The amount presented is not what
gives this expression OF esteem anv
special importance, but coming from
the persons it does, and contributed as
1t was, from the pittance earned by the
for labor done after regular
work hours were over, makes the trib-
ute one of more than ordinary charac.

nobler sensibilities of our nature,

GRAND SUcCEss.-By reference to our
advertising columns this morning, it
will be seen that the Franklin Insur-
ancc Company oEt1ts city, makes an,
exhibit Of its ditionI the fret OF. the
character ever made by any similar
Company in our city. The Franklin
was organized some Eve years since,
and has at present the largest paid in
cash capital OF any Insurance Company
in the State. The stockholders have
been particularly fortunate in the Sc
lection of their Directory, and that
body in the choice Ofthe officers whose
duty ii is to direct and superintend tbs
management of its affairs. Especially
are they to be congratulated in having
had the services of the gentleman who
hsa been Its Secretary since the organi-
cation of the Company. We doubt very
much II one better qualified in every
respect TO I'LL the position can be found
than MIR. N. G. Arthur, who under
stands the Insurance business in all its
various departments. ..t. =.
The exhibit published, shows that
within five years $4,000 have been ad {.
deed, to the capital, besides paying one
dividend In cash of $1,000, and more
than $4,000 for losses. We do NOT
know of any business that has been SO
successfully managed. The Franklin
Is noted for the prompt adjustment Of
all losses sustained by il, and com.
mends itself to those who desire to in
sure their property in safe, reliable
and prudently conducted company.

BURGLARY.-Some time during Mon
day night the store room of Nfessrs. i.
Fl. Smith " Co., on Main street, was
entered by one or more burglars, and
goods to the amount Of forty or fiftv
dollars taken. Entrance was effected
by prying open the front door with an
iron bar, and wrenching off the catch OF
the lock. The job seems not to have
been difficult one, Judging from the
slight damage done the door. After
getting inside the room the BURGLARS
proceeded to examine the Stock

left the goods scattered about

PoIICE CoURT.-There were two vic.
Tins before the Court yesterday
morning. Carter Sutton had been i'm
billing fighting whisky, and committed
an assault on some one whose name we
did not learn. Before the affair ter.
minated, Carter added the offence of
"battEry" to the other violation of the
ordinance, and had TO pay twenty
dollars and costs for INDUCING in the
amusement.
John Reddy, an old offender, was up
on the charge of creating tumuIt and
disorder, aud was fined one dollar and
costs. If what Reddy asserted in Court
was true, the only wonder is that he
did not create more than dollars
worth OF tumult and disorder. The
statement he made may have had the
effect of fixing the fine at an insigniti.
cant sum. But small as il was, he did
not have the required stamps, and he
disappeared around the corner of Film
and Monroe streets, thinking, no doubt,
that he was deeply Injured man.

RAILROAD CoNvENTIoN.-Most ofour
city readers have, doubtless, heard of
u projected railroad which is to begin
at Toledo, pass over the Tuscarawas
Valley and terminate on the Ohio river,
somewhere in this vicinity. a Con-
vention is to be held at New Philadel-
phiR, Ohio, on Thursday, the 10th inst,
with view OF determining at what
point the road shall strike the river.
AS the determination OF this question
directly interests this city, the Board of
Trade held meeting, yesterday, to
take steps for representation in the
Convention. Mr.. a. W. Campbell was
appointed 10 attend the Convention in
behalI OF this city, and represent its adj
vAntages as a terminus tor the pro-
Jscied road. Messrs. Rhodes and Al
