POLICE CouRT.-There were two cases
in the Police Court, Saturday morning.
James Corners had been guilty of the
indiscretion of getting drunk and Gre
ating "tumult and disorder" He was
fined ten dollars and costs.
Somewhere in Centre Wheeling, we
believe it was, the peaceful relations of
fire side were disturbed to some ex-
tent by member thereof, and the fact
having come to the knowledge OF the
officers the offending party was brought
before the court and fined one dollar
and costs. We presume 1t was the first
ottense, as the fine is the lowest pre-
scribed in the ordinance. It is to be
hoped that the lesson learned by all the
parties interested will prove a salutary
one, and that they will be careful in the
future to avoid bringing their family
chickering's within the precints OF the
police court.

RIVER NEws.-Saturday. evening, at
dusk, the river was falling. The r. r.
Hudson was the only boat at the land
ing during the day. She took her de-
parture for Cincinnati, at o'clock p.
NJ, with one of the largest freight trips
that ever left our landing on any of the
packets since the war closed, being
loaded to the guards and having to re-
fuse freight. During Sunday, quite a
number Of tow boats, with empty
barges in tow, passed up for Pittsburg.
The Wheeling and Parkersburg packet
Rebecca arrived from the latter place
yesterday morning, with an excellent
freight trip. The Pittsburg, Wheeling
and Parkersburg packet J. N. McCul-
Tough arrived during the afternoon,
yesterday, with 260 tons of freight, and
after receiving a large addition at our
wharf, continued on her way to Pitts
burg. Captain Moore, OF the McCul-
Tough, informs us that he will leave
here, on Tuesday morning, for Par
kersburg, at 8 o'clock, A. NJ. The off,
GERS OF the Rebecca and Mccullough
say that they met with great difficulty
In making their landings, on account
Of the large quantities of shore ice.
They report 1t impossible to make any
kind of landing at Parkersburg, and
that the Kanawha is still gorged, and
the Express ice bound.
The river, yesterday, was seven feet
three inches, and falling.
Boats leaving to-day: The fine, side
wheel steamer Rebecca, Capt. Booth,

MEAN AS DIRr.-Up in Pennsylvania
there resided, some years ago, a young
limb of the law who was counting a
young lady In the town Of N, distant
some eight miles. Jackson, as we will
call him, was rather close yet, MS 1t
was known that ho had not succeeded
in making a fortune out Of the law, a
neighboring farmer did not hesitate
when, one Saturday, Jackson applied to
him for u horse and buggy to drive to
NJ to spend Sunday, but at once fur
nished the team. So Saturday noon
Jackson drove off in style, spent the
evening and the Sabbath in N with
his lady-love, and drove back to town
Monday. Upon returning the horse to
its owner, he said, "How much is it?'
ooh, nothing /; you're welcome to the
use you've made Of him." was the reply.
"Ail right |" said Jackson then you
owe me q dollar and a half" producing
a bill which he had paid for the keeping
of the horse In N, which he had nctu-
ally the "cheek" to present for pay
ment. The farmer paid the bill, but
Jackson never borrowed any moro horses
of him.

The SuXLIr CLouD.-Sitting by my
window one morning, and gazing out
upon the heavens, my attention was ar
rested by W beautiful clouds, whose
dark surface was tinged with the glori-
Gus morning sunlight, making a picture
Of sublime beauty. A portion OF the
upper cloud seemed resting so eompos-
edly upon the lower that it appeared
like cruelty for the sunbsams to sepa-
rate them but u~nheeding my solicit
tude, the sun continued peering into the
dark cloud before him until the dark
ness was gone, and behold I the broad,
bright sunlight appeared in full glory !
And, as gazed, l thought /: That dark
cloud is the future, and we are the sun-
beams making our way as fast as time
will allow into the mysteries of that nm.
known state-now separating the mists.
and onward we 60 until the darkness OF
the future is chased away in the full
light Of eternity. As beautiful as the
dark cloud tinged with the sunbeam
may our life be, if Faith, Hope and
Love combined shall guide our course.

VALUABLE IF TRUE.-An agriculturist
has, it is said, tried with success the
following method of making peaches
grow without stones:
Turn the tops of the trees down, cut of the
ends, stick them into the ground and fasten
them with stakes; in a year or two these tops
will take root, and when well rooted cut of
the branches connecting those reversed and
rooted branches with the tree proper. and this
reversed peach tree will produce fine peaches
without stones. The Same experiment may
be triod with plums, cherries and currants.

IS FoRSEy's PLAcE.-Washington dis
patches inform US that George G. Cor
ham, Of California, has been elected
Secretary Of the United States Senate,
rice John W. Forney, resigned, by o
unanimous vote. We presume that the
unanimous vote of the Republicans is
meant. Otherwise, if the entire Demo-
cratic vote of the Senate was cast for
"Coolie George" what will the Democ-
racy of the Pacific Coast have to soy?
1t will be remembered that our Demo-
cratic contemporaries were much dissat-
isied with his selection rs a member Of
the National Central Committee by the
Chicago Convention. We havn't seen
a single line of objection to that action
on the part Of the Union press, but
scarcely n Democratic paper has failed
to record its protest and profound indig-
nation. We have frequently taken &C.
cssion to regret the sad oversight Of the
Chicago Convention in failing to consult
our Democratic brethren concerning the
appointment Of q Committeeman for
California. George is a ranking thorn
in the sides Of the Democracy of the
Pacific, and they had fondly hoped, as
they confidently proclaimed, that his
defeat in the last California election had
"laid him out colder than q wedge"
But Gorham is not one Of the kind that
a be kept down. "Truth crushed to
earth will rise again." and so will men
who, like Gorham, are the apostles and
bold promulgators Of true principles.
w hail his election to the Secretary
ship rs u deserved tribute to one Of tho
bravest opponents Of Republican priu-
ciples that ever mounted a rostrum.
A little fellow Of about one hundred
aud thirty pounds avoirdupois, two hun
hundred Of il is brains, a ton Radical
ism, and from Eve to ten hundred weight
backbone, nerve and pluck. As the
solid globe to a grain Of sand, and as
tho full blaze of the MONDAY sun to the
feeble glow of a lightning bugs tail, so
is Gorham in all that constitutes solid
worth or intellectual superiority, to the
dwelling trimmer who defeated him
for G~ubernatorial honors, and who now
has the sublime impudence to aspire for
the Presidency against our hero Grant.
