The Case OIL John w. ""
Our readers will remember that some
time during the summer three strangers
paid our city q visit representing them
selves to be iremen from New York
City, among them JOHN W. White.
They claimed the Inequalities of the
fremen of this, place and insinuated
themselves into their good graces and
In the meantime the two
COMPANIONS of John w. White depart
ed for some other place and were never
heard of any more. 1t was but short
time after this that Mr. White revealed
his true profession, that of q burglar
to Mr.. Cockayne, who immediately
devised a plan for the purpose Of catch
ing and couvicting him of burglary
This lie accomplished in way familiar
to all our readers. recorded at that time,
by accompanying and assisting him to
complete arrangements for breaking IN
the liquor store of Franzheim & Co., on
Main street, where he was caught in
the act in accordance with the pro-
gramme agreed upon by the parties who
arrested him. Upon this charge he was
arraigned before the Circuit Court of
of this county and there being sufiei-
emit evidence to convict him the jury
rendered a verdict accordingly and he
was sentenced to one years confine-
ment in the peniteutiary.

Police Court.


No cases were brought betore' this
Court yesterday, but the hattering in
dicatioas of the weather and the fact
that the time is now drawing nigh
when many of the boarders of the hotel
on Fifth street will be at liberty topur-
sue their "former advocations," leads
us to the conclusion that this state of
affairs will not last much longer. AL
ready two or three of the most familiar
characters have been released and are
now basking in the smiles of liberty,
and it may be that their appreciation
of confinement is not so tlattering as to
engender desire to. return within its
pales. We hope 81, for their benefit,
but il is hoping against cause aud eff
feet, which always bring aboat their ie-
gitimate results. Tomorrow We may be
able to verify cur assertions by relat-
ing an instance of practical occurrence
before the Police Court. Till then we
will patiently wait.

BY the Principal of the Wheeling
Business College that on Monday after
noon next, Prof. Jno. r. Scott will
hold writing class for ladies at the
college rooms, corner of Main and Mon
roe streets, over the Religious Book

the most accomplished penman ever in
our midst The many beautiful specI-
mems of til, art he has executed during
the short time lie has been with MS fully
iustiiies this Gathering notice, and we
strongly advise our fair readers to at
tend the ladies class at the Actual
Business College. We are also very
happy to state that Notwithstanding the
depression in business, aud the scarcity
of money, there has been this season an
attendance during the day of upwards
of seventy students and the night
school under the management of Pro-
fessors Hanna, Scott and Greasy, is
most prosperous, having roll of over
one hundred scholars.

4 New Organization


We have just learned that a new or
ganization is about being started in this
city for the purpose of facilitating mar,
rage between old bachelors and old
maids (if there be any of the latter.
We are not acquainted with any of the
particulars of the proposed manner Of
conducting this association, but pre-
sumo, as it is in its infancy yet, that its
mode of operations will become devel7
optd as it progresses. We are, how
ever, assured by one, who is said to be
the most important parsonage now con-
nected with it, that the principle it in
wolves aud the plan adopted to carry 1T
out, is bound to render it successful in
all its undertakings and make it one of
the graudest associations for reversing
the course of true love into a placid
stream of cougenial affiliations that al
ways ends in happy consummatioA Of
marriage between the NEST confirmed
summers. Our informant expects to
have a sufficient number of members to
organize in few days, and if the
around proves favorably in this city for
the progress of the institution, heprom-
ises to give us such information as will
enable us to particularize its mode of
procedure, with the privilege of laying
it before our readers. Everything con-
nected with the organization is con-
Quoted OIL plan, it seems, that renders
! it almost impossible for the members to
know who is aud who is not member
among their acquaintance until GER
tain time, when the truth suddenly
flashes before them in the pleasing re-
atty of an affinity. We shall await pa
tisutly fopits. organization and more
definite information. -;iH 30 a-.-

to read as follows: rr, ~4 .

opposing counsel time enough before

are distinctly made in the petition, no
other statement need ne made by the
plaintiff or appellant. When the de-
PENDANT or appellee intends merely TO
negative the points made by the PLAIN
tiff or appellant, no such statement
need be made by him.

Outrageous.

On Wednesday night, between 10 and
IL o'clock, as a young lady was return
iny to her home on Hampden street, she
was accosted and taken hold of by some
william, and only succeeded in releasing
herself by striking him in the mouth
aud screaming for assistance, which
frightened him away. There is no pun
ishment too severe for such wretches
as are guilty of an act of this kind, and
it is hoped that they may be awarded
their.dues in the penitentiary whenever
caught.

81. A petition fer an appeal, writ OF
error or supersedeas, may hrieiy state
the case and shall assign errors. But
the cause should not be'argued IN the
petition. In causing the petition and
record 70 be printed, the clerk shall
take care that no argument contained
in the petition shall be printed with
the petition and record.

The Lights.

The lights @- - i.
We have frequently complained ofthe
bad management of the way our city
hss been Illuminated without knowing
exactly where TO attribute the fault,
and we are yet in ignorance in regard to
the matter. But by reference to the ac-
lions of our Getty fathers" on Tuesday
night last, it will be seen that they have
determined to have more light during
the night, or will have light on the sub
ject demonstrating tie reason why this
is thus when it should be otherwise
The committee on Lights was instructed
by them to confer with a similar COM
mittee OH Gas, and when the two come
together it is reasonable to suppose that
we will have an abundance of light,
which will give US no occasion hereafter
to erowl over the darkness that has
lately pervaded some sections OF our
city.

pulpits. A letter received yesterday
by the committee on Devotional Exer-
cises of the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION, stated that Mr.. III. would be
here on the 10th inst, which is Monday
week. He will remain and enjoy the

week. The programme Will be imme-
diately arranged by the committee, and
we presume the first discourse will be
delivered on Monday evening week.
Mr.. Moorhouse will probably be accom-.
panied by Mr.. D. L. Moody, an earn es

track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
Of the Main Line and converging Branches be-

also steadily and successfully carried the Main
