IMPORTANT TO FRUIT DISTILLERs.-
The interest of the service and of trult
distillers both demanding it, the Score
tary and Commissioner, on consulta-
ton, have directed the issuing of sup
plement to regulations, series five, num-
Der seven, exempting distillers of apples,
peaches and grapes from the provision
of section twenty three, act of July 20,
1869, which requires distillers to put up
their spirits in packages of not less
than twenty gallons. These distillers
from fruit will hereafter be permitted
to put up their spirits in packages Of
not less than ten gallons. Inasmuch as
no tax-paid stamp has heretofore been
used for packages of less than twenty
gallons, new stamp is being prepared
for ten gallon packages with coupon:
attached, so as to be adapted to pack
age of any amount between ten and
twenty gallens. All packages of twenty
or more gallons will be stamped with
the tax-paid stamps heretofore in use.

MAN KILLED-DIsTREssING CASE
On Tuesday evening, 10Th inst, about 9
o'clock, disturbance occurred on Main
street, between Beau and Chestnut
streets, between party of white men
and some negroes. During the trouble
a number of stones were thrown, one of
which struck citizen named John Ar
mold, who was standing upon the pave
ment opposite Phoenix Row, upon the
breast. Arnold fell backwards 80 vio-
lently as to fracture his skull, which
resulted in his death in few minutes.
On Wednesday post portem examina-
tien was held on the body, but We have
not yet learned the result. Mr.. Arnsld
was in no way connected with the trou-
BILE, and was civil and esteemed citi-
zen. He leaves several orphan chill
dren. Two negroes named Webster and
Bolden have been arrested and commit.
ted to Jail, charged with the murder,
but we have not learned that there is
any evidence against them. We will
give the testimony next week.-Wash-
ington (Pa.) Rerietp.

PERsoNAL.-John T. Russell, Esq, a
former citizen of Wheeling, for years
editor of the Daily Argus, passed
through the city yesterday on his way
to Sisterville, where he goes to visit his
relations and friends. Mr.. Z. was some
ten years ago appointed a Diplomatic
Agent for the United States to Santa
Fe, New Mexico, and has since that time
made his home in that city. His many
friends in this vicinity will regret to
learn that his health is somewhat i'm
paired, and that he returns to endeavo'
to recuperate. He will probably remain
in this neighborhood for some time, and
perhaps his old friends hereabouts will
soon have the pleasure of taking him BY
the hand.

Single-breasted sack coats will be short
and with fly fronts, while the frock will
be still shorter, double.breasted, and
without side pockets. The materials
will be meltons, beavers, and rough ma.
terial OF various shades. Velvet and
velveteen sack coats are to be worn for
sporting, for the races, and riding, al
ways with light colored trousers. Black,
dark green and brown velvet appear to
be the popular colors for coats. Pan
falcons will continue to be worn tight
to the knees, and from thence gradual
ly slopiDg to the top of boot. Stripes
are out of style; superseded by light
gray English plaids. Vests will be
wern both single and double breasted,
cut low, with plain rolling collars.
Evening vests should be cut low, with
rolling collars and two buttons. White
cashmere and duck vests will be worn,
with frock coats for calls or entertain
ments. Scarfs of the Lord Stanley style
will continue in popularity; also the
roSf yacht tie, of blue, black, brown

aid white cravats have been given
over to walters exclusively.
Silk hats, Harper & Brother tell us
have bell crowns, medium brims, with
round curls and rather wide bands
altogether a very handsome head cover
ing. The "Warwick" hat promises to
become the rage this winter. 1t is a
low-crowned felt hat, with broad and
stiff brim, and black silk band reaching
almost to the crown. They are made in
several dark celors. The low.crowned
hats of the Oxford, Derby and Jerome
styles continue in fashion. The Don
Carlos is the latest agony in hats. 1t is
decidedly Spanish, has conical crown,
like the Alpine, but is sitter and has a
most determined curl to the brim.
Boots and shoes will be made with
round toes.
Gloves for the street are are light.
colored, and for ball, opera, concert, re-
ception, and German, white, lavender,

Bright shades in gloves should never be
