RAIN.-We had been accustomed to
rain for some three or four days previ-
Gus to Saturday morning, anu many
were expressing the hope that the rain
was over. But about nine o'clock in the
morning it clouded up, and now and
then low peals of distant thunder were
heard. 1t began to grow dark, then
darker, till the gas had to be lighted
in nearly all the business houses to see
to transact business. Presently the
rain began to descend, and soon, instead
of raining, it just poured down. 1t
lasted for about an hour. Such fall
of water in the same length of time has
not been witnessed in Wheeling for a
long time. The streets were flooded.
Cutters and sewers being unable to
carry off the water, it ran about like
small rivers. In some instances boxes
were swept away which were left on
the sidewalk.

POLICE CoURT.-There was q very
large attendance at this Court on Sat.
urday morning. A heavy shower COM
ing up at the time, drove many in from
the streets to seek shelter from the
pelting rain. A large number of cases
being on hand, also, called together a
large crowd of spectators.
John Laughlin was up on two charges
The first was for causing tumult and
disorder, and was fined S. and costs.
The second was for assaulting Mrs.
Smith. This act being a very fragrant
one of unbecoming conduct towards a
female, the Judge imposed fine to the
extent of the law-S20 and cost.
George Schriner, charged with an as
sault on Philip Winters, was called,
and the complainant withdrew the
charge. Whereupon the Judge dis
missed the case at the cost of the COM
plainant.
Henry Baxter, charged with being
drunk, was fined 81 and cost.
Louis Seibright, charged with selling
spoiled or unsound meat, in the Second
Ward market on Saturday morning,
was fined $50 and cost. This case was
contested for the purpose of mitigating
the intention of selling tainted meat.
But the Judge did not deem the testi-
mony sufficient to lessen the fine. Had
this charge been the first offense of the
kind, it might have had some weight,
but it is public fact that he has been
fined for similar offenses.
The cases of Geo. Thomas, Joseph
Bates and George Francis were con-
tinued.

UNFORTUNATE.-We are sorry to learn
that Mr.. Buersner, German citizen of
Wheeling, is again attacked with in
sanity. Mr.. B. was once very talent
ed German editor. He was connected for
q long time with an influential Demo
cratic German paper in Cincinnati, and
several years ago he came here and pub
lished weekly German paper. Some
three years age he manifested insanity
aud was sent to the Asylum at Weston.
He became much improved, and it was
thought that II mingling with the
world would fully restore him to men,
tai vigor. Those hopes have not been
realized. 1t is now feared that he will
become a confirmed lunatic.

ST. JoHN's CHURCH.-The venerable
Rev. DR.. McCabe officiated in the pulpit
of this exquisitely neat and beautiful
Church, yesterday. His text was taken
from the Book of Haggai, I'd Chap, 9th
Verse: "The glory of this later house
shall be greater than of the former,
saith the Lord of hosts; and in this
place will 1 give peace, saith the Lord of
hosts" His discourse was replete with
fine logic throughout, and delivered in
the most eloquent manner. That por.
ton in which he spoke in such eulo-
gistical terms of the Rev. VIM. Arm
strong axd his services to his God, bis
Church, and the suffering community
| was quite affecting to the congregation
He reviewed the Church from its in
fancy, when it had but twenty-thret
communicates, to its present prosperous
and happy condition.
Our only regret was that more peopl'
could not get in to hear this truly eio
quent divine.

OMINoUs.-As our friend, the "locaf
of the Intelligencer, in watching the
signs of the times, looks upon the mu'
tations of circumstances as ominous OF
success or tokens of defeat, we wish to
call a circumstance to his mind, which
happened in South Wheeling on Satur'
day, and see if he has consulted the
Delphic Oracles as to its portent. We
refer to the beautiful pole raised there
by our Republican neighbors, on the
day and at the same time that ours
went up. The pole was indeed beau
tiful--beautiful in Dimensions, in
symmetry and in height. But there
was one particular about this
pole which is worthy Of no.
tice-it may be ominous. The
lower section of the pole was poplar
1t was peeled smooth. The upper sec
ton was hickory, and was peeled also tc
deceive the unsuspicious. A Democrat
remarked to one of the RAIDS that it was
singular that they would take our tim
Der to top ont their pole. He replied
that they, the RAIDS, had skinned it as
an omen of what they intended to dc
to the Democrats. But, said the Dom
ocrat, according to that philosophy, We
are on top. The Rad looked chagrined
Now, as they go in for "omens," We
would like to know if the hickory il
on top if it is not ominous of our sue
cess. But the secret of this " omen
business is a deeper design thar
at first supposed. AS the lead
ers of their party advocate amalga
nation, this mingling of different spe
cies of wood typifies the miscegenatior
principle of the party as concealed il
their future plans. 1t is also put there
to represent the Butler idea of things
now part and parcel Of their platform
that of stealing. Therefore, is 1t omi
nous in the last two senses as above
Perhaps the young, would-be "scottisl
Reviewer" may fad something "lumi
nous" in this. Let the FREELY expant
his wings and show his brilliancy."

ACCIDENT.-Oa Saturday, as jacob
Watson was coming up Third street
Centre Wheeling, with a four horse
team and heavily loaded wagon, inst al
he was about to cross the Street Rail
way track, the street cars came along
at fast rate and ran against the lead
horses, turning them around, which
pulled the hind horses so suddenly
about that the neap of the wagon was
broken off. We learn that the lead
horses sustained trifling injury.

JUSTICE JoHNsToN's COURT.-Several
very important cases came up before
Esquire Johnston on Saturday, for ex-
animation.
In the case of the State of West Vlr-
GINA Us. John Martin Crow alias John
Martin Grim, charged with putting OBJ
structions on the track of the Hempfeld
Railroad, thereby endangering the lives
of the engineer, conductor and passen-
gers, came up for examination.
The prisoner was small boy, scarcely
twelve years of age. The testimony on
the part of the prosecution was direct
and positive. The boy was seen on the
track at the point where the accident
occurred-Brotherton's trestlework-0n
the morning of the accident, and only
short time before the arrival of the
train. After the accident suspicion
rested upon this boy, as he had been
seen there before the accident, and was
still there. Many of the passengers
gathered around him, and he finally
acknowledged that he put some of the
obstruction on the track, but not the
ones that threw the train off the track.
His story was not entirely credited. He
pretended that there was another one
with him, then that there were two be-
side himself.
The testimony for the defence, in the
main, went to show that the boy was
not as intelligent as boys generally are.
That he would admit almost anything
if he thought it would release him from
punishment. mat his general charac-
ter was mild, not vindictive or mali
cious. Justice Johnston, after hearing
the testimony, remanded him back to
Jail to await his trial at the Circuit
Court, unless Judge Caldwell, or some
other Judge, should release him on
bail.
The next case was that of Samuel
Anton, for peddling without license.
This case was pretty pla in. and Anton
wss fined s. and cost. AS he was
peddling statuary made out of plaster
of Paris, we presume it will require the
sale of many articles to make up for the
loss in the way of fine.
The next case was that of John En-
walt, arrested for attempting to convert
borrowed property to his own use.
1t appears that John had borrowed a
horse of q Mr.. MeCulloch, on Short
Creek, for the purpose of riding to the
city. After arriving here, he partook
too freely of "red-eye" and concluded
the horse belonged to him, and thus
bargained the horse away. He ac-
knowledged, while under the sad
influence of Captain Whisky, that
he had stolen the horse. On
Saturday Mr.. McCulloch came to
town, claimed his horse and took him
home. John was rcmanded to jail to
await further hearing.
Mrs. Agatha Good, arrested for steal
ing twenty-five dollars from Nicholas
Yeargen, was, after an examination,
sent to Jail to await trial at the Cir.
cult Court.
Officer Price arrested two men FL
stealing two pair of ten dollar pants
from a clothing store, opposite the Sec.
ond Ward Market, on Saturday. They
were taken before Esquire Johnston
and sent to Jail for a further examina.
ton to-day. We did net learn their
names.

Esq, addressed the meeting in English.
We learn that the speeches were excel
lent and that the enthusiasm of the
people was almost unbounded.

of the German heart, which always
pants after freedom and vibrates to the
side of liberty. Thus ended the gala,
glorious day for the noble Germans and
Americans who dwell in that Republic
of which the Intelligencer once used to
boast of as the right-bower of its party,
but who forsook the lead of that journal
when it pandered to party, fell down
and worshiped the Dagou that Sumner
and Garrison had set up. The sweeping
wave of the sober, second thought is
moving-the "secret agent"tbat alarms
the "snaix" killer of the Intelligencer is
at work. The deep, damning, desolat'
ing defeat that awaits the trembling,
sycophantic criminals of unparalleled
corruption is Fastening to its glorious
consummation.
