not replaced the paper properly. He
informed the Deputy that he did not
intend to Ego ont" on him, but was just
"feeling the WALL" that he might inii-
tate the new Warden, Mr.. Scandrett,
when he came into office. He was quite
chap-fallsn when detected, but took his
discontinue quite good naturally. He
was at once removed to another cell.
He might have succeeded in getting in
to the hall, but how he intended to
make his escape after that it is difficult
to imagine. He might have intended
to raise an alarm in the night, and seize
the key from whoever might answer the
alarm. In this he would have been
frustrated, however, as no one ever en-
tiers the hall, at any time, with the keys
in his possession. They are always left
outside the main gate. Whatever may
have been his plans, he was checkmated
at the very outset, and is not likely to
"go through" except at the will of his
keepers. Whitaker, it will be remem.
bered, is held to answer charge OF

the entertainment highly, and makes
special mention of Miss Gussie Todd,
whose two solos, "The Kiss" and Il
Love the Military" were rendered in
elegant style and with faultless grace.
The st. Clairsville Gazette says:
The concert by the Beethoven Society
Of Wheeling, on Thursday last, at We'll
days Hall, was decided success. The
Society, by invitation, gave selection
of their pieces for the benefit Of the

ciative audience, who were highly en-
tertained for two hours The Society,

us treat such as is seldom heard in our
town. At the close OF the concert, the
audience unanimously rendered vote
of thanks to the Society for their arts
tic aud highly entertaining concert.

Recovered Damages.

About year ago lot OF apples was
purchased by party in this city from a
man doing business in Jefferson county,
Ohio. The apples were shipped by
steamboat and arrived here the day af-
ter the purchase was made. The man
from whom they were bought accompa-
MED them and received payment Tor
the same as soon as they were deliver
ed on the wharf, and Immediately left
the city. Drays were set TO work to
haul the apples off the wharf to the
party for whom they were intended,
and in the handling of them the head
of one of the barrels fell out and re-
vealed the fact that the apples were
half rotten. A thorough examination
was made of the whole lot when it was
discovered that every barrel contained
about half bushel of good apples in
each end, and the remainder were good
for nothing. The man was written to
and informed of the bad condition of
the apples, but no answer was received,
and thus things went on until last Oc-
tober when the man who had sold them
came down here to attend the Fair, and
was arrested on a warrant issued
against him for damages by the person
who had been swindled in the apples.
The suit was brought before Squire
Johnston, who was unable to render a
decision for several days, but finally
rendered Judgment in favor of the
plaintiff. We are informed that the
amoant for which judgment was render
ed was received few days ago by the
Squire and the difficulty finally settled.

A New Dodge.

A New Dodge.
We were shown some butter yester-
day that was purchased by q store keep
or on Market street and thought to DO
q genuine article, but upon examination
q large portion of it proved to be salt.
1t was evidently put up to deceive and
is q new method of swindling. The
manner in which the dodge is made
successful is by cutting hole in the
roll of butter and following ont, leay-
ing but enough OF the butter remaining
around tho outside to conceal the fraud.
The inside is then filled up with salt
and the aperture in the roll covered up
with butter and the job is completed.
