Police Court.


Henry Leopold, an unassuming and
quiet individual, when he cannot help
it. was brought before the Police Court
at the instance of Della Holtsclaw, who
charged Henry with 20 far forgetting
his usual quiet disposition as to en-
gage in TRADE of abuse upon her, all
without any just provocation whatever
For this offence Henry was "mulcted''
to the tune of five dollars.
George Sweeney, gentleman who we
did not see, was observed by the police
engaged in some little amusement OF
his own on the street, which did not
seem altogether satisfactory to the said
police, and in consequence they jerked
him to headquarters, where he made
his appearance before Judge Good, who
insinuated that tire matter could be az
ranged Oh his depositing with the city
ten dollars. George pushed his hands
down his trouserloon's pockets and
brought forth a pocket-book contain
ing the necessary stamps and made the
requisite deposit on the charge of be-
ing drunk and diserderly, and was dis
missed.

The referees to whom the contest un-
der the will of the late Alexander
Campbell, of Bethany, West Virginia,
was consigned for arbitration, were
Judge Lowrie, of Pittsburgh, Pennsyl-
vania, and Judge Robertson, of Char
louisville, Virginia. The will was made
in March, 1862, and conveyed the prin-
cipal part of the property to the heirs
by his second marriage, and was con-
tested by the heirs of the first wife. The
referees found that the testator's mind,
since 1858, had been greatly impaired;
that its decay had been progressive; and
they were satisfied he was not compe-
tent, at times, to make will, but they
concluded on the whole, that at the
time of making the will he was not in u
condition to disqualify him from de-
vising property; and they therefore sus-
tain the will, and also cOdicil made as
late as 1864, when the process of mental
decay had been in progress for six years.

IN atr imonial.
There were but five ladies and gentle
men last week that wearied of single
blessedness who sought reliefin the CON-
panionship of the opposite sexes. and
were allowed to do so on application to
Recorder Wood for the proper eertih'
cate. The laws of this State requiring
an applicant to give history of his OF
her ancestry for four hundred years
back, accounts for the limited number Of
licenses issued, but the more willy who
cannot trace their identity so far, and
who have not experienced more thar
seventy-fye summers, nor more thar
fifteen, take advantage of q town in
Pennsylvania, short distance from
this city, from which place we have nc
news yet, on account the omnibus that
carries the mails having broke dowI
by coming in contact with snail
going in an opposite direction. We ex
pect to hear from there this evening.

The Peak FamIIy. r. aCG.
We see the pleasing announcement
made through the press and on-every
available corner and fence in the CITY,
that the above named family will give
two of their grand entertainments at
Washington Hall on Friday and Satur-
day evenings next, March 18th and
18th. Their performances embraces
that of a rare and novel attraction
which. has won them o. reputation that
has stood the test ofyears. The par;
ticular specialities are the Swiss Bell
Ringers, harpist, violinist, per-
former on the either and two vocalists,
also buffo and mimic in the person of
Sol. Smith Russell, who is equal to Aft.
Burnett in his comis representation of
distinguished characters and actors.
There are many other important fea-
lures attending their entertainments,
which, altogether, render them the
most interesting, side-splitting and mu-
steal exhibitions that are now given.

wheeling in Grafton.

We copy the following vision from
the West Virginia Chronicle, which
came from the heated and fertile brain
of the genius who presides over that
delectable sheet
The great commercial and manufac
turing city of our State-Wheeling-
sends representatives into all parts of
the country in the persons OF
the various Drummers for its wholesale
business houses. One of the aforesaid
gentlemen visited our town eight or
ten days ago, and, after the usual rou-
tine of duties were over, he concluded
that he wanted a draught or two of the
elixer of life, alias ''benzlne," alias rec
titled corn. After inbibing freely of
this exhilirating nectar he started for
his hotel-the Grafton House"-but as
he was walking up Railroad street he
was attracted by the brilliant and en-
ticing appearance of an hotel in this
part of the city, and concluded to take
up his quarters there for the night. He
Immediately retired, after first placing
his valse under his head for
safe keeping, and was soon in
the arms of Morpheus, as tceH as
in the mud on the high bank Of the ADORE
named street! Some gentleman was
passing along that way with his lantern,
and, seeing a man lying in the mud,
held his light down to the face of the
sleeper, and recognized in him our
Aforesaid drammer. Upon being arous-
ed, he muttered ont "What (hic) thine
is t." (hic). Upon being told that it
was eleven o'clock, he commenced "cuss'
in" his landlord. Said lie, 81 told the
LIANT hic)dlord of this establishment (hic)
to wake me up as eleven, (hic) In time
for the train. Now, Pm left, (hic-um- III }.
Well, I'll not (hic) stop at this house
again; and I'll do all | can against it,
(hic). Sect l don't. Such Il man Amt
fit to keep hotel, (hic-um- um MIN hic)."
We believe he took the next train for
Wheeling, but we are not SURE that he
paid for his nights lodging. We think
it little doubtful.
We are compelled to boubt the verac-
ity of this extract from the fact that it
should read "Bummer," and the location
of the individual referred to should
have been at point more adjacent to
Grafton. However, the credulity of the
editor may have been imposed upon by
some of the members of the Black
Crook company, which was lately per
forming in this city, who, OH their way
home, with forty-five days pay in their
pockets, likely took too much benzne
in Grafton and mis-represented them
selves to be from this city as drummers
instead of bummers.

A Good idea.

A Good idea.
Many Of our citizens, both male and
female, who promenaded our streets
yesterday and attended church, without
getting enraged at the muddy condition
of their boots, bootees and CATERS, owe
it to the foresight of the Street Com
missioner in having the street crossings
all scraped clean. He has had commu-
nication with the clerk of the weather,
who told him what kind of a day yes
terday was going to be-, and be took
the hint in preparing everything ac-
cordingly. 1t was this combination o
circumstances that made it so pleasant
for the denizens to be out, and that so
safely protected their understanding
from the splash of mud and water. To-
day, we understand, the renovating
process wiil be eourteouslyt extended to
the streets and liberal amount of their
surplus coverings will be removed to
sohO pldSS III JuO GUILTY. hhOAC @ Ah@A
has just planted a new farm. There is
enough of it to make two good farms in
this city, and we would suggest, that
if they run short of material, that su-
perabundance remains over on the
Island, Notwithstanding the fact that
every pedestrian who visited that quar-
ter yesterday unintentionally stuck two
pounds to each of bis extremities This
cleaning business is in the right direc-
ton as long as it is confined to ont
doors, but save us from the rantanker-
Gus formula of house scrubbing that
will begin in few weeks. Then cats,
dogs and every species of bipeds and
quadrupeds alike will have to stand
around and make their peace with the
powers that be in a meek submission to
their demands and orders, We dread
the approach of the time.

River News.

River News.
The river last evening was rising rap
idly with sixteen feet in the channel.
There was quite large quantity of
shore ice floating in the river during
yesterday. The following boats arrived
and departed on Saturday: Express,
from Parkersburg and returned again
at noon; Glasgow for Pittsburgh; Hud-
son fer Cincinnati; Carrie for the Mis-
souri, river and Fort Benton; james
Rees for Sunfsh ut the usual hour;
steamer Grey Eagle arrived from Pitts
burgh Sunday morning at 2 o'clock and
departed for Parkersburg. Capt. Bran
nan of the Grey Eagle, informs us that he
met with considerable difficulty with
the heavy fields of floating ice on Satur.
day night, which compelled him to lay
up his boat twice. for repairs to the
wheels, &c, and was detained about'an
hour OH account of the heavy wind be-
tween 10 and IL o'clock. If the ice is
not too heavy to-day the Rebecca will
leave at IL A. NJ. for Parkersburg, and
the Mccullough, at p. NJ. We learn
that our friend Capt. Holmes has been
appointed the exclusive agent for the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Parkersburg
daily line of packets.

Fire.
Yesterday afternoon as some persons
were passing down Quincy street, they
observed flames of fro issuing from the
roof of the Virginia House. They i'm
medi ately ran into the hotel and in
formed the proprietor, who, assisted by
the boarders, soon succeeded in extin.
gushing it before much damage was
done. The fire is supposed to have
originated from some paper being
thrown in the chimney place, which
was carried up the flue, where, being
famed by the wind, it soon ignited the
dry shingles.

Almost n Fire.

About eight O'Clock on Saturday even
ing last, a fire was discovered in the
Green Glass House of Mr.. Robinson, in
North Wheeling. One of the employees
of the establishment, who first saw it,
promptly extinguished the flames be.
fore any damage was done. Had it not
been for his fortunate presence it is
likely that it would have been very
destructive ON account of the vast
amount of combustible and dry material
which is in an abundance about the
building.

Robbed.

h0Dbeu.
Some thieves who infest the market
house continue to perform successful
operations on the unwary. A Mrs.
Arkle, who deals in notions, &C., and
has her articles packed in a large basket,
was robbed ON Saturday morning last.
The thief was wholesale operator, as
he deliberately carried away the basket,
containing all her stores, amounting in
value to upwards of forty dollars. 1t
is surprising how these fellows can sue
coed, in broad day light, almost before
the eyes of their victims, in purloining
such large budgets without being de-
tected. 1t would seem that if there
is any suspicious characters about they
would be watched, and their chances of
success proportionable madeless. There
is something very mysterious about
their operations which we are unable to
unravei, but we hope the matter may
uuravel itself in the return of the lady's
good and the capture of the thief.
