GRAND Enthusiastically morning,
Sheib's Music Store on Market street.
was the scene All unusual excitement.
The hour of ten o'clock had been fixed
for the sale of tickets 10 Miss Anna
Dickinson's lecture, and long before
the time the large room and pavement
outside were filled with a crowd OF
anxious persons. When the clock
marked 10, there was n grand rush for
the coveted CARDS, and for the space of an
hour or two tho press was fearful. Two
or three persons were kept busy hand
ing out the tickets and taking in the
greenbacks, and by IL o'clock nearly
every seat was sold. Mr.. Sheib who
has had the selling OF the tickets for
nearly all the Concerts and Lectures in
the city during the past two years, in
formed us that the sale on Saturday
WAS the largest he had ever made here
in the same length of time. A few seats
were still unsold on Saturday evening,
and additional chairs will be introduce
ed to accommodate those who may desire
to hear this remarkable lady. We
would advise all who have not furnish
ed themselves, to go early this morning
and secure seats.

PRoGREss.-Columbu sailed to the
American coast in four hundred ton
ship, and first landed upon the Island
OF St. Domingo. Last week vessel
from st. Domingo unloaded in New
York over four hundred tons Of st.
CrOix Rum for p. IL. Drake CS Co., of
that city. This is but few weeks sup
ply Of this article, which these gentle
men use in the manufacture of the eel
ebrated PLANTATION BITTERs. We are
informed by an exchange that Messrs.
Drake & Co. have lot advertised a dollar
Tor year, but that the sales of this ar
ticle continue at the former enormous
figure. In 1864, the receipts of the PLAN
TATIoN BITrERs were equal to those of
the New York IL New Haven Railroad.

YEsTERDAY.-The weather was cha m-
than January. About the hour OF SER
vice in the various Churches, both
morning and evening, the streets were
lined with persons vending their way
to the temples of worship of their choice.
There were others on the streets, how
ever, who were not directing their foot
steps towards the churches. We refer
to the groups who occupied the corners
OF the principal streets to make obser-
vations on the passers- by, and to gaze
and stare in the faces OF those who are
going to church. This practice has be-
come an intolerable nuisance, and
should be at once broken up. We have
repeatedly seen boys engaged in this
gentlemanly (?) business, whose pa
rents We guarantee do not know
that their sons spend good por-
ton OF the Sabbath in this way.
We don't know whether there
is city ordinance against such pro-
ceedings or not. If there is not, there
should be one introduced and passed at
the next meeting Of Council. We di-
rect the attention of the authorities to
this matter. If relief cannot be had
from them, we know no other course 10
pursue in order to abate the nuisance
AhaR 20 publish the names of those who
thus dssecrate the Sabbath day and viO-
tate the usages of good society. On some
corners it Is almost impossible for those
who wish to pass to do so without being
crowded of the pavement. We hope Il
reform in this particular will be speed
ilY inaugurated.

IMPRov clothing store OF
J. l.. Rice, on Monroe street, is to be re
modelled and a handsome iron front
put tin. We saw part of the iron col
umns on the ground Saturday after
noon, and presume the work is to be
commenced at once.
We hear that y. NJ. Adams, whole
sale clothing dealer and Merchant Tai
Tor, will occupy the building opposite
Mr.. Rice's establishment, about the LIST.
OF April. Important changes will be
made on its exterior appearance and in
terror arrangement, making it, perhaps
one OF the most handsomely fitted up
store-rooms in the city.
We were told that the National In-
surance company has purchased "a
building near the last above mentioned,
and will put it through general and
thorough oyerhauling before taking
possession. Monroe strest, between
Main and Market, promises to take the
lead i'll the way of improvement.

PEEITENTIAKY BIRD.-SOme days
since negro was arrested at or near
Cameron, for attempting 10 commit a
rape on white woman. The "cullud
pusson" was brought to MOundsville,
and an examination OF the case had
before Magistrate. The result OF the
investigation;was, his commitment to
Jail. While on the way there, the pris-
uner and guards were met by the Su-
perintendent of the Penitentiary, who
thought he recognized i'll the rapist an
escaped convict from our State institu-
ton. Another examination was had
by the light of a lantern lit was after
dark, when it was discovered that the
prisoner had on two suits of clOthes,-
the under one being the uniform worn
by convicts at Columbus, Ohio, or JEFF
fersonville, Indiana, Superintendent
McEadden could not exactly deter
mine. The darkey was lodged in Jail,
and the proper authorities at the cities
mentioned, were informed of the cir
cumstances.

HEMPFIELD RAILROAD.-On Satur-
day morning, as the train over this road
was approaching the city, and when
near Elm Grove, an accident happened
which arrested its further progress.
One of the trucks of car filled with
hogs, broke down, letting the body of
the car rest on the track. Unfortunate
Iy the cars containing the baggage,
mail and passengers, were in the rear,
and there was no way of getting round
the wreck. The lady passengers were
put Oh board the locomotive, while the
gentlemen Tor some of them at least, }
were compelled to walk tho balance of
the journey. I've suppose everything
will be all right by to-day, and the
train will run as usual.

AEREsTs.-On Saturday the police
arrested two individuals for violations
of the city ordinances, and lodged them
in the lock up. We believe neither of
them were voters, so that nothing will
be lost in that particular at the election
to-day.
These men were placed in "durance
vile" (and it is vile i'll fact, as we'll AS in
name,) Saturday afternoon and even
ing, and we were told, yesterday, that
nothing to cat had been furnished them,
nor would be until after their trial this
morning. We are not advocates for
extra attentions to those who are wick
ed enough to violate the laws enacted
for the government of the city, but we
submit whether it is not carrying pun
ishment for crime step too far to StdT've
those who are so unfortunate as to
fall into the clutches of the law.
If tho object of punishment
is to reform the criminal, We in
cline 70 the opinion that a more humane
process should be followed than to
cut Off the criminals rations. We
don't believe a starved man will have
any higher opinion of law and good
government after serving out term of
imprisonment, than he will il fed on
plain, substantial food while paying
the penalty for his misdeeds.

ENCOUNTER WITH CRAZY MAN.-On
Saturday morning about two o'clock,
gentleman in Centre Wheeling was
aroused by the violent ringing of his
door bell. Going to see what was the
matter he found Il woman at the door
who implored him to go over TO her
house as she believed her husband was
crazy, and was breaking everything to
pieces, threatening to kill every MEM
OF the family. The gentleman went TO
the scene of the disturbance, and found
the facts about as had been represented.
On presenting himself at the door, he
was met by the Infatuated husband
who inquired his business. Explana-
tons OF the reason of his being thore at
that hour, followed, when the mad man
gave him push and shut the door.
This interview took place in til rear of
the building. The gentleman was
about taking his departure for home,
when the woman came out of the front
door with light in her hand, fol-
lowed by her cruel husband, who seized
her and attempted to drag her into the
house. Again the gentleman interfered
TO prevent the mul-trentment of the
woman, when theinfuriated man struck
at him. Having tired and ascertained
that words would have no effect in
quelling tho disturbance, and unwilling
to see weak and helpless woman
shametulIy abused by the enraged mon
ster, his blows were returned with effect.
A scut1ie ensued. Several times one of
the party was knocked down. The
noise occasioned by this part OF the pro-
ceedings attracted the attention of a
young man who slept il neighborinG
house, and he ran to assist in separat-
ing the pugilists. After some consider
able difficulty the unnatural husband
was secured by tying his hands and feet
when he was carried into his house and
left in that condition. We did not hear
any other reason assigned for this out
rageous conduct on the part of the hus-
band than the one given above. Wheth-
err it was whisky or something else
which craZed his brain, we don't know.
We give the facts as they were given us.

that, perhaps. lie was not conversant
with the killing power of Wheeling

he was let off with one dollar and costs.
