THE PRIZE RING IN OHIO.
= = = = -. l-------- = :
MILLAT WEST WHEELING
One Of the Oombatants Cuts Off.
The Descent Of the Censtabu-
larry.

For some time our fancy have been in
a state of great excitement over mill to
be fought on the first of December at q
point within ten miles of Wheeling,
and 80 secretly have all the prelimi-
naries been conducted that not more
than one OF two of the uninitiated
have known anything about it. Hr-I
Yesterday the principals, Louis sny-
der and Tom Mcclure, with q number of
friends, crossed to the Ohio side of the
river and selected their battle ground
on Whisky run, near West Wheeling,
Ohio. ,-.,
After the stakes were driven and o
ring formed, Pat Mullen was selected as
referee. John Kehoe acted as second
for Snyder and VIM. Reese as second for
Mcclure.
MCGUIRE SHE'D his castor into the ring
and soon followed it. He was in few
seconds followed by Snyder. When the
oVercoats were, dropped from the mems
shoulders, Snyder looked little wild,
and when time was called and MCGUIRE
advanced to shake hands, Snyder jumped
over the ropes and fed for dear life, with
the laughter and jeers of the crowd
ringing in his ears. Snyder failing to
come to the scratch at the call of time,
Mcclure was declared winner of the
fight.
Hardly had this decision been given
when a posse of constables and special
constables were discovered moving
down on the party. As it is peniten-
tiary offense to be engaged in or even
witness prize fight in Ohio, when the
cry police! policep was raised all
were anxious to save their bacon, and
such another climbing over bitches and
gullies and up hill-sides never was seen
in this country since the first Bull Run.
We believe there were no arrests made.

How TO CLEAN MARBLE.-The ScisH-
tife american says that it may be OF
some value to telegraph operators who
have marble based instruments, and
housekeepers, who have marble-top fur
niture, to know that the common solu-
tion of gum arabic is an excellent alb
sorbent, and will remove dirt, ETC., from
marble. First, brush the dust off the
piece to be cleaned, then apply with q
brush a good coat Of gum arabic, about
the consistency of thick Office mucilsge,
then expose it to the sun or dry wind,
or both. In q short time is will crack
and peal off. II the gum should not
peel off, wash il with clean water and
clean cloth. OF course if the first ap-
plicatioa does not have the desired
effect, it should be applied again.
Second, n axe a paste of soft soap and
whiting. Wash the marble, first with
1t, and then leave a coat Of paste upon
it for two or three days. Afterwards
wash. off with warm Quot hot) water
and soap. r...- -r7 . ~ - -...

RIVER NEws.-The long agony is over
We have now river full enough for all
purposes, and rising fast. In the last
twenty-four hours the river has risen
over seven feet, the marks hero showing
sixteen feet six inches and steadily
swelling. From Oil City we have re-
ports of big rise. At Pittsburgh there
were eight feet six inches in the chan.
mel yesterday morning, and rising.
Coal fleets have commenced to move.
Yesterday the Peerless with eight barges,
Coal Valley with nine, Leopard with
eight, Webster with eight, Venture
with four and Traveller with three
barges passed down. The packets Julia
and Mollie Ebert also passed down. The
c. II. ormsby, with six empty barges,
and the packet Arsosy, passed up.
The R. r. Hudson will reach here To-
morrow from Cincinnati and will leave
on Saturday as usual. Shippers will re-
member this.
The Matamoras packets Hope and
Science will leave for Matamoras at 10
o'clock this morning. Admiral Huse-
man, clerk of the Science, says no six.
teen feet Of water can prevent him from
carrying passengers ashore until his
i
legs are shortened. Bully for the Ad-
niral.

THEATRE.-f any person who wit
messed T. w. Keene's representation of
Enooh Arden, last night, had entertained
the slightest doubts of his great ability
as an actor, that mastery POI traiture
must have settled all such doubts. We
never saw finer piece Of acting than
Mr.. Keene gave in the last two acts. 1t
was grand, and stamps him as an actor
Of more ability than ever his wsrmest
friends claimed for him. Mrs. Seton
sustained the part of the hopeful, pa

have the great Irish drama entitled
Peep.o'-Day, in which Mrs. Seton and
Mr.. Keene will both appear.

WAR IN AFR1CA.-Ths classic region
known as Helrs Half Acre, and inhab-
tied generally by unbleached citizens
has been the scene of TO-. We re-
cord the fact with reluctance. Our
tears flow as we write. But implacable
truth compels il. We must put it on
record. There has been row at the
half acre with the red hot name above
written. This was the way of IT.:
Richard Konney and Andrew Nichols
enjoy the rights, prerogatives and priv
|ileges of "big boys" in the high school
erected for the use of the rising genera
ton of unbleached Americans, on the
hill at the head of Monroe street. 1t is
called the colored high school because OF
It's elevation, and because Of its want
of color, outside. Its pedsgogue is j.
w. West. In its walls, dedicated to
the requirement of common school
education, West reigns supreme over one
of the most disorderly, turbulent and
rebellious collections Of assorted colors
ever gathered on this continent. Thus
far he has been able to keep them in
hand while in the school house, but
when they get out on the streets going
to or coming from school they make the
welkin ring with their shouts and
the air unhealthy with stones and
sticks. But on Monday the spirit
of rebellion against the masters
wholesome restraint broke out,
and while Kenney and Nichols were
grabbing at note thrown to them by
one of the dusky maidens, they were
detected and ordered to leave the school
until the case could BIZ laid before Su.
perintendent Williams. Then Kenney
revolted and swore at the master, and,
getting broom, he proceeded to move
upon his works in such ferocious man
ner as to frighten the timid maidens,
dusky and unbleached, SO that they
tried to jump from the windows. He
peeled off his coat, did this ferocious
"big boy" and when finally he was put
ont, he gathered stones and was going
to throw them through the window, but
was prevented by lemon-colored dam
sci who vigorously stood before the win
dow, determined to save her teacher
from harm, though the house came down.
The affair eliminated in the arrest OF
the accused "big boys" on q charge Of
disorderly conduct, and yesterday the
Police Court room was filled with FIT
teenth Amendment citizens Of all sizes
and colors without regard to previous
condition of servitude. Richard Ken
ney was fined $40 and costs, and Nichols
was discharged from arrest, there being
no offense proved against him.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

RosADALIsl RosADALIsi RosApAIIs-
This medicine has become Justly cele.
brated as the most reliable Alterat;ya

ical fact, that those Alternatives which
exert an influence on the Kidneys, in.
creasing the quantity of urine and i'm
proving its quality, viii prove the most
efficacious in the treatment of diseases.
1t is on this account that the Rosodalis
is so much more reliable, and produces
SO much more speedy action in Chronic
Diseases than any before known to the
medical profession and the public. 1t is
composed of medicines that not only
possess the most powerful Alternative
properties, but also Diaretic, Tonic,
Hepstic and Diaporetie properties, and
it therefore acts directly upon the Sc

POLICE CoURT.-Besides the African
war, mentioned elsewhere, there were
FIVE fusileers before the Police Court
yesterday. That these galoots should
have selected such day as Tuesday for
their sprees, is something we can't un-
derstand, and can only be explained on
the idea that drunkenness is sort of
moral hydrophobia, and that the excess
Of water falling from the clouds was
necessarily counteracted by them in
imbibing benzine ain quantities less
than a gallon"-at time.
Owen Connery was one Of these anti
water men. And yet he got enough of
it. He was captured about Z o'clock
Tuesday night, when the rain was fall
ing in bucketfulls, leaning over the
south end of the stone bridge, in
musing mood contemplative. He was
charged the usual price for plain
drunk, 81 and costs. Didn't have it.
.Studieth geology.
John Brady was found asleep in
Meyers door, Centre Wheeling, about
10 O'Clock Tuesday night, Paid 81 and
costs for his bed.
James Johnson was drunk on Tues.
day, and was up again. There never
was such jolly old pump for being up
again, as johnson. Every time he comes
to the city he gets bis copper.lined skin
full as tick, sings, in melodious tones
yankee doodle doo," and then gees
up again. He got off on the payment of
81 and costs and giving the Court a
promise that he will keep away from
the city.
James Ryan was found, Tuesday
evening, on the corner o Monroe and
Market street, not drunk, no not drunk,
bat as sick q child as ever lived. He
was fined 81 and costs for his plain
drunk, and, in default, taketh = short
term in geology.

SALE OF Gov KRNMENT PROPERTY !

SALE OF Gov EMINENT PROPERTY AT
HARPER's FERRY.-The sale of the Gov
eminent property at Harper's Ferry
was commenced on Tuesday. The fol-
lowing dispatch, received by Governor
Stevenson, shows how matters had pro-
crossed up to noon yesterday. West
Virginia is deeply interested in this sale.
By the act of Congress authorizing
the sale, the cost Of making the sale is
first to be deducted from the proceeds,
the cost of the buildings thereon next
to be repaid to the General Government,
and the balance, if any, to be paid into
the State treasury of this State to the
credit of the Free School funds Wheth-
or there be any balance left for US or
not, the fact that this immense proper
ty now lying idle will be used for man
ufacturing purposes, is a matter the
whole State is interested in. Bat the
following is the dispatch:
HARPER's FERRY, w. Va, Dec. l, 1869
To Cor. " z. Stevenson:
The account of sales aggregate $3.50,
600 for the first day, 200 lots yet to sell.
Musket factory property with Potomac
river water power and privileges sold
for $4,000. The rifle factory with
water power and privileges sold for
100000. Capt. T. E. Adams purchased
both. I will furnish another telegram
when the sale is completed.
D. s. YOUNG, Capt. L. s, A.
Harper's Ferry is crowded with peo'
pie, and great excitement over the sale
prevails. The Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company bid strongly for both
water powers, but Capt. Adams, repre-
senting heavy Eastern manufacturing
