TIE CHEAPEST RooF Is THE GRAVEL
RooF.-Mr. George Crumbacker of this
city, is fully prepared to put on gravel
roofs in the. most improved method,
and warrants his work to give satisfac-
ton, either in resisting fire or turning
water. The tar used is put through n
process that frees 1t from oil and ben
zole, and no matter how great the heat,
it will not run. 1t is equally efficient
in roofs of every conceivable pitch. Mr.,
Crumbacker keeps on hand roofing
cement and cement for tanks and side
walks of the best quality, and for sale
at the lowest rates. This roofing has
stood test of fifteen years in Pitts
burgh.

STEAMBOAT CoLLIsroN.-Last night,
about halE-past ten o'clock, collision
occurred in the river just below the
mouth of the creek between the steam
boats -Rebecca and Dick Fulton. The
former was on her return trip from
Parkersburg, and when about opposite
the lower end of the Island, her pilot
discovered the latter boat approaching.
He Immediately blew the whistle-the
signal for keeping the larboard side.
The whistle of the Fulton was sounded
once, and she then changed her course
across the river in front of the ascend
ing steamer. When this was perceived
by the pilot Of the Rebecca, the bell at
the engine was rung and the wheels
stopped. Her momentum carried her
forward, however, far enough to strike
the wheel of the Fulton, carrying it
away. Her hull, it is believed was not
injured, nor was any other part Of her
damaged, SO far as we could ascertain.
She was run to the island shore and is
now lying there. The crash was heard
several squares from the river, and
quite a number of persons quickly
gathered on the landing. The Rebecca,
after lying alongside to render what
ever assistance might be necessary,
came uptothe wharf! She was not in
jured, and.will leave for Parkersburg
this morning atsl O'Clock. ~.

FEAST OF TA1ERNAcLEs, OR BOOTHS

FEAST OF TA1ERSAcLEs, OR BOOTHS.
This evening the Israelites will begin
the celebration OF the Feast OF Taberna-
Giles, or Booths. This festival is cele-
brated in commemoration of the forty
years. wandering of the Israelites in
the wilderness after their departure
from Egypt-Leviticus %: ~, 43. Tho
name is derived from the booths COM
posed Of the branches Of trees, built on
the roofs of their houses, in the courts
and streets, and in which the people
dwelt during its continuance. 1t was
one of the three great festivals of the
year, at which all the men of Israel
were required TO be present; and 1t is
also season of gratitude and thanks
giving for the gathering in of the har-
vest, hence it is also called "the Feast
of the Harvest"-Exodus %: 16; 81: D.
There will be service in the Syna-
gogue this evening at o'clock, and also
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Rev.
Mr.. Blum, recently from Dayton, Ohio,
will oficiate on both OCCASIONS. Mr.. B.
is young minister of more than ordi-
nary promise, and we are pleased to
learn will probably be called to minis
ter in the Synagogue in this city, per-
manently. The congregation will be
fortunate ifthey can secure his services.

MEETING AT La BELLE HALL.-A
business meeting of the Grant and Col

this club is increasing in numbers, and
each member is keeping his armor
bright for the great contest on the Sd
OF November. We trust victory will
perch.on the. banners of the undaunted
Republicans of Webster and Richie in
the shape of a crushing defeat Of their

PATENT GRASTED.-A patent was
recently grantedto Dennis Slavery, of
this city, for an improved device for
holding cut nails while being headed.
We believe Mr.. Savery is an employee
in the Belmont nail works, and is rep
resented as skillful mechanic. We
have seen some of the nails cut on his
improved machine, and they are a step
in advance ofanything we have met in
that line. We are not familiar enough
with such matters to go into detailed
description ofthe nature Of his improve
ment.

a DULL DAY.-Though the opera
tions of the business houses were car
ried on as usual, yesterday, and the
customary amount of business was
transacted in the city under the favor
able auspices of the sunshine, the pros
pect for "the local" was of a very dis
couraging character. 1t becomes a
question whether the city editor Of the
Register did not lay himself liable to a
suit for damages by presenting to the
people Of Wheeling day or two since,
such an alluring picture OF virtue as to
utterly dIsband the police court Ito all
appesrances) and cause such a peaceful
repoze to settle upon the city, leaving
us like Othello, with occupation gone.
There were no arrests yesterday ESQ far
as we could Iearn) no fights, and in
short none of those occurrences which
break in upon the usual order of events,
and by aftording variety, impart-
spice to the daily existence of the city.

BASE BALL.-It may be an Item of
interest to many Of our readers 10 hear
that the Clncinnatis were successful in
a game with a Baltimore club the day
after their signal defeat by the olym-
pics atWashington, D. @. On Monday
they played with the Athletics Of Phil
adelphia, and after a closely contested
game, were defeated, the score stand
ing, Athletics, 10; Cincinnatis, II.
We learn that the preliminaries for
match game for the championship, be-
tween the Columblas and Battles, have
been arranged, and that the first of the
series will be played tomorrow on the
grounds south of Hamilton & Co.'S.
foundry. The game will be called at
2 o'clock, and as both clubs are popu-
lar, and have hosts of friends, we ex-
pect an immense crowd will be present.
We were shown a letter from the Se-
cretary of the Mears club of Steuben-
vile, in which 1t was stated that they
would meet the Battles in a friendly
game on the Fair Ground, Thursday,
october s.h. The Mears boys will
come down on the Forest City, and the
game will commence about 2 O'Clock,
P. N. They may be assured that none
but the most kind feelings are enter
tanned by our citizens towards them,
although they have vanquished our
Battles on two or three occasions. The
Battles will show marked improvement
on their recent playing, and the con-
test is likely TO prove an interesting
one. Turn ont. lovers OF the game,
both ladies and gentlemen, and give
the Athletes a regular bumper.
