Police Court.

Soutts
On approaching this Court yesterday
morning onr ears were saluted with the
melancholy strains of vocal music
waited on the air as smoothly as though
they were famed along by gentle
zephyr winds. We stopped to listen
to not mar the sweetness of the tone,
but it had no echo, and the sound did
not linger and die away like the tintin-
nabulations of the Court House bell
we heard yesterday morning, but con-
cluded as abrubtly as some of the sto-
ries in Beadle's Dime Novels.
An individual with the romantic and
Singular name of John Smith was up in
the market house on Wednesday trying
to pick a quarrel with the butchers
blocks and stalls, but finding that they
paid no attention. to his threats he went
to "cussing" animate thiAgs in the shape
of men who were peaceably passing by.
John continued at this for little while
when a gentleman dressed in gray
clothes came along and invited him to
take a walk down street where he
found John lodgings for the night, for
which John literally paid dollar yes
terday morning.
James Hyatt is as fond OF amusement
as any other man in the country, but he
is unfortunate sometimes in getting in
with fellows who do not appreciate his
jokes" They say he is too carressing,
too familiar and frequently his gentle
"taps" are not met with reciprocating
response. James had one Of his famil-
lar spells on last Wednesday and com
menced caressing some strange ac-
quaintances, which was considered by
Judge Good as going beyond the bounds
of courtesy due stranger, which James
could only remedy by leaving five dol
lars with the city, which he concluded
to do under the circumstances.

= Little Eccentric.

An individual who is better known
by his eccentricities aud dress than by
name made his appearance in front OF
the Mcclure House yesterday morning.
No tight unmentienables graced his
lengthy pedestals, or neat bob-ta coat
covered his manly form. The clothes
he wore were very, very plain, and lad
become tattered and torn from long
usage, which attracted as much atten-
ton from their odd "cut," rs they would
uavo done if they had have been made
up in the latest style. This individual
when free from the asylum, has great
deal of trouble in preaching the Gospel
to the sinners along the street, and as
long as there is one remains TO hear
him he will continue to 60 on
in his exhortations until he stands
alone with uosl hearers. He
was yesterday engaged in preaching
in font of show window for some
time, and many persons passed him
with smile on their countenance when
be was giving vent to his strongest ar
guments. After watching at distance
his movements for some time, We con
cluded to go and see what attracted his
attention, and discovered that the show
window contained mirror, in which
the old man saw himself and imagined
he was talking to some one else wher
he was only talking to his own refiec
ton in the glass. Afterward, he com
lnenced delivering discourse to two
horses attached to a hack, instructinE
them how to do good and spoke some
thing TO them about the great hereafter
to all of which the animals nodded as
sent, until compelled to leave him. HI
then strolled down street and vanished
from sight by turning around the cor
ner of Quincy street. That's all w
know about him. -.....

Waiting for His Wife.

1t is no common occurrence to hear
of young fellow waiting for his girl
and going home disappointed, but the
same cannot we'll be said of husband
when waiting for his wife. Though it
does sometimes happen with the latter,
and is often attended with serious re-
suits. As an evidence of this fact we
met a man over at the depot of the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh railroad yes
terday afternoon, who gave his name IS
Andrew Thatcher, who said he had
been married about four months ago
in Pittsburgh, and had expected
to meet his wife in this city on
Tuesday for the purpose of joining him
on their way to Indianapolis, Ind. He
has been constant visitor to the depot
since that time until yesterday evening,
when lie received a letter from friend
in Pittsburgh breaking the doleful IN
telligence to HIM that the woman who
promised to love and obey him and be
his help mate the balance of his days
had assumed to play the same part with
another man, and had gone off in diff
ferent direction instead Of coming to
Wheeling. Mr.. Thatcher states that
he had settled up all his business in
Pittsburgh and had come to this city
for the purpose of collecting some
money due him preparatory to taking
his final departure. AT his wife's earn
est solicitation to remain q few days
longer with her friends, she did not
come along with him, but promised to
meet him on Tuesday as before stated.
He represents himself as shoe dealer
and was going to Indianapolis to en-
gage in that business. He will leave
for Pittsburgh this morning for the pur-
pose of apprehending the guilty pair
and visit retribution upon the destroyer
of his peace and happiness. So instead
now of waiting for his wife" as he at
first stated, he has gone off to find her.

False Alarm.

rHist AiuE"'
About halfpast nine o'clock last
night the fire-bells pealed forth in thun-
dering tones the alarm of fire. Soon
every one of them were vibrating to the
echo of their music until the noise of the
city was completely drowned in the
chorus of bells. On inquiry we learned
that the alarm originated with some little
boys, who were passing the bolt factory
on Fourth street, near John, and seeing
considerable light in the factory sung
out "fire," which was soon caught up
by men, then the bells, and then the
"machines" commenced running-all
resulting from a false alarm.

We understand, says the SteubenVille
Gazette of March 10, that Il shooting at
fray took place near GOuld'S station, ON
the railroad five miles west of this city.
1t appears that the section boss had dis
charged a hand, who, for resentment,
procured gun and deliberately shot
him. The man, whose name is Brew,
was living at last accounts, but is not
expected to recover. Officers have
gone in pursuit of the murderer, whose
