JEALoUs.-Any one reading Halls ar
tiole in last Saturdays IHtelligencer re-
proving the Clarksburg Conservative for
telling the truth, can see how the green
eyed lobster, jealousy, is gnawing at bis
heartstings, When we first assumed
control of these columns the hte'ligeH-
Ger gave Us no word of greeting, did not
even announce that a change had been
made in the editorial staff of this paper.
Its tactics then were TO ignore us alto
gether. We didn't ignore worth a cent.
Now it's plan is to deny that we have
any originality. Perhaps we have not,
still our readers say we somehow man
age to give them readable paper
every morning and the steady and
healthy increase in our subscription list
shows that our efforts in this particular
are appreciated. In regard to several
questions put by Hall We would advise
him, if any one asks him about the mat
tiers he speaks of, to tell them he don't
know.

TIE DEXTER WASHING MACHINE
Jonas Grove, corner of Sixth and Zane
streets, East Wheeling, is the agent for
the Dexter Washing Machine, one of
the most complete, reliable and thor
ough washing machines ever invented.
We have had cur doubts about a perfect
washing machine ever having been in
vented until now. This machine will
wash the dirtiest clothes clean it will
wash the finest or the heaviest articles
without injury, and so quick that it
seems like magic. Or. Saturday we saw
its operations and can recommend it as
the best machine ever invented. 1t will
wash your shirts In one minute and a
half; large quilt can be washed, "rung
out" on the Novelty Wringer and be
ready for the line in five minutes. The
machine is used by many ladies of the
city and they all speak in the highest
terms Of it. Its cost is so low as to put
it within the reach Of all. See adver.
tisement.

A ROUGH FALL.-A chap. as drunk as
it is possible for man to be and have
the least particle of consciousness, was
sitting, yesterday, on the edge of the
cellar wall OF the -four mill ruins, near
the West Wheeling ferry. Beside him
was his boot, pulled off, probably, uu-
der a vague idea that that was a good
place to go to bed, Suddenly he seemed
to have reversed his decision, and as he
raised up his foot to put the boot on
again he tumbled over backward into
the cellar of the mill, ameng the loose
stones and debris. Had he been sober
it would have killed him instantly.
With a drunken mans luck, however,
he escaped with a few cuts on the head,
bruises on the body, and confinement
for the remainder of the day and the
night in the calaboose.

A FUNNY Mankind is a queer
lot. AS philosopher once said, "man
is an initiative animal" These two
propositions were illustrated last even
ing. Just before services commenced
in the different churches there was a
slight fall of rain, and of course all who
attended divine service took their UNI
brellas with them. About the time the
sermon was ended there came up a
pretty heavy shower, that made the
cutters run freely. 1t ceased, however,
about the time the benediction was pro-
nounced. As the congregations were
leaving the churches those in front, de-
ceived by the patter of the drops falling
from the trees and the ripping of the
water in the cutters, raised their um-
brellas. Those coming behind taking
it for granted that heavy shower was
on, raised theirs, and We had the funny
spectacle of the street full of people
returning from church with their um-
brellas up, and not drop of rain falling

POLICE CoURT.-There was but slim
showing at the Police Court on Satur'
day. A German named William Ragel
was found drunk on Market street Fri
day night. He explained to Judge
Good that it all came of sore hand.
He was fined 81 and costs or ten days.
Charles Morrison, a young moke, went
to the house of Eliza Lewis Friday
afternoon and broke out q window,
used very strong and abusive language
and raised Ned generally. For having
had so much fun he was required to pay
s. and costs.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS return our
thanks to Thomas Hornbrook, Esq, for
the choice fruit, kiSdly furnished us on
Saturday. The Strawberries were re-
markable fer size, (six of them weigh
ing nearly three ounces,) beauty and
fiueness of flavor, and the cherries were
delicious. The fruit was grown upon
Mr.. Hornbrook's place, four miles east
of the city, and like everything pro-
duced in that garden spot of Ohio coun'
ty, handsomely attested the taste and
enterprise of the grower. We here re;
call the fact that this Hornbrook place
is attracting great attention not only on
account of its unusual natural beauties
but of the skill which has adorned and
the persevering industry which has i'm
proved it until its equal for rural lowell,
ness is not to be found in this section OF
country,

TEACHERS ExAMINATION.-By the
notice in another column it will be seen
that applicants for positions as teachers
in the public schools of Wheeling will
be required to be present at o'clock on
the morning of June SOth, at the regu.

the City Building on that day. AS there
will be no special examination this
season, those interested will find it tc
their interest to be present at the hour
named.

FoREsTALLING.-Last Wednesday a
man named John Edwards was arrested
for forestalling the market in buying a
lot of cherries brought to the market
for sale, and selling them again at an
advanced price. His trial came of
on Saturday, and the offence being
clearly proven, he was sentenced to pay
fine of $40 and costs. We are glad
that Judge Good acted SO promptly in
this matter. This system of buying up
delicacies from first hands, after they
are brought TO market, and compelling
the consumer to pay a heavy advance
on them, will thereby be broken up.

yisable to postpone the race until next
Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock, good
track and good day.
