POLICE COURT.-The Police Court
was ornamented yesterday with the
figure kead of the irrepressible Corne-
Illus, which is Toby Vance. lobe got off
of the chain gang on Thursday morning,
and we were satisfied when we saw
him on the street on the afternoon of
that day, that he would visit Judge
Good yesterday. 1t was inevitable. If
not in jail where would lobe get his
Christmas turkeyi How then could it
be expected that he would keep QUIT
About two o'clock yesterday this
healthy specimen of thoroughbred
galoot went to the house of colored
sorosis, one Eliza Lewis, on Main street,
and crawled in the window, after being
ordered out, he went to work after the
women had gone for the police, and
broke up everything in the house. He
was fined $50 and costs and in default
will confine his attention to studying
geology for thirty days. The chances
are that lobe will graduate from Prof
Prices class aud will finish his educa-
ton at the State Normal University, at
Moundsville.
Mary Green, a colored social evil, had
a set-to with Annie Williams, another
of the same class, at the house of Eliza
Lewis, on Thursday night. 1t appear
ed that she, whom Burns alluded to as
"Mary, dear, departed shade" had called
her colored sister, gentle Annie various
vile names, which no well regulated
colored sister could stand, whereupon
gentle Annie whaled her beautifully.
Mary was fined S. and costs or twenty
days, aud Annie 81 and costs or five
days. They were both playing checkers
with their noses at Castle Faris at last
accounts.

1t is gratifying to record instances Of
human kindness. The disaster of the
Rebecca on last Tuesday night, rendered
good many destitute, and when they
were wandering on our streets, distress
ed, emaciated and hungry, there was a
ready hand and willing heart to allevi'
ate their misery. Mr.. A. Ais, the pro-
prietor of the famous Concordia Res
taurant, not only provided several with
clothing, but invited them to his table
and made them psrtake of the very best
meals. The general expression of SEN
timent is that Mr.. Ais is generous
whole hearted gentleman who, by bis
kindness to the distressed, has endeared
himself in the esteem of his fellow citi'
zens.
We are informed that our townsman
Mr.. Skidmore, one of the passengers,
done a good deal in saving the passen
gers. He was untiring in his efforts
until he succeeded in bringing to the
shore all who could be saved. We may
well boast of such citizens, who are SC
ready and willing to alleviate the suf'
ferings of the distressed.
1t is with reluctance that we mention,
in connection with this bright record
the information received from relia'
BILE source that another citizen refused
to extend his Inequalities to the suffer
ing.-Parkersburg Times.

GYMNAsTics.-We- suppose the day
has gone by when an argument to prove
the benefit to be derived from gymnas'
tics, for our girls and women especially
is necessary. So fully convinced are
the educators of the highest institu'
tions of learning in this country OF the
great advantages resulting to the brain
from healthy body and well-exercised
muscles that gymnastics are part OF
the study as much as mathematics. Inc
great trouble with the American female
is her want of exercise. Her chest needs
expansion, her lungs need more room'
and her muscular system more develop
ment. They lack that robust ana
healthy look SO necessary to beauty.
In this connection we are pleased to
know that it is contemplated in a few
days to have a gymnasium opened IN
this city, where light gymnastics VIII
be taught. Such an establishment will
be of more value to the weak and aillng
than q whole drug store full of medi'
cines.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Is steadily
falling, having dropped q foot in the
last twenty four hours.
Business on the levee was more than
usually animated yesterday. The St
Charles, r. r. Hudson, w. F. Curtis
Hawkeye, State and James Rees al
lying at the wharf together made mat
tiers look very business like.
Capt. John Murine arrived from the
wreck of the Rebecca, yesterday morn
ing. He says that the report that the
boat struck on sunken barge is mis-
take. She struck on barge belonging
to the B. & o. Railroad Company, used
for carrying cars loaded with stone to
the workmen on the bridge. This
barge had foated round into the chan.
mel during the night, being fastened
only at one end. 1t was without sig
nal light, and was not seen by the pilot
of the Rebecca until too late to
save her. The force with which she
struck the barge must have smashed in
the whole side of the steamer for she
instantly commenced settling by the
head, and as her stern swung round she
sank head up stream. The bodies of the
men thus far recovered were found In
the hunks of the steerage. The water
came up to about the top berths in the
cabin and though they had their bag
gage soaked with water and some of it
washed overheard and lost, the passen-
gers were all got on to the hurricane
deck and saved. The work of wrecking
the steamer was commenced yesterday.
The boat has been declared total loss
and abandoned to the underwriters.
The Enterprise is the name of the Gin
cinnati insurance company holding a
policy on the Rebecca.
The r. r. Hudson arrived from Gin
cinnati last evening, and is loading to
return this afternoon at o'clock. The
popularity of the Hudson aud the mr.
banity and ability of her Captain and
officers renders it certain that she will
have good trip. The Hudson and st,
Charles left Cincinnati together. but
the Hudson arrived here some time
first.
The Hawkeye State, of the Northern
Transportation Line, reached our wharf
about o'clock last evening, with two
barges. These she will take to Pitts
burgh, and will then return here to
have her machinery put on the new boat
building for the Line at Wilson, Dun
levy & Co.'s boat yard, to be launched
to-day.
The steamer w. +. Curtis arrived at
TIE wharf yesterday. She has her sign
up for New Orleans.
The st. Charles, from Cincinnati to
Pittsburgh, passed up last evening. She

ANOTHER WARNING.-We have sew
eral times had occasion to warn the
boys of this city of the danger of throw
ing stones and other missiles at one an
other, at passers by and at windows,
Yesterday several of them got louder
warning of the penalties to be visited
on all law breakers. A party of them
amused themselves in throwing stones
last Tuesday, evening, and broke a
large window and yesterday they fonnd
themselves before Judge Good, who
after administering severe reprimand
at the request of the prosecutor allowed
them to go on the payment of the costs
This lesson will not be lost spon them
