NECK BRoKES.-ADdrew Culver, we'll
known TO many in this city, came to
his death 81 few days since in manner
not exactly known, aud never will be.
Culver was employed on a farm few
miles east OF here, and had been sent
by his employer to cut wood some dis
lance from the house. Not returning
when he should, search was instituted
to ascertain the cause of his delay. On
reaching the woods where he had been
sent, tree was found which he had
felled, and a few feet distant his lifeless
remains. Examination revealed the
fact that his neck had been broken but
by what means of course could not be
ascertained, as he was alone. 1t is con-
jectured, however, that the tree in fall
ing had been thrown against him with
such violence as to hurl him to the
ground, dislocating his neck by the
blow received.

SMASH UP.-A party of fast young
men belonging to this city, procured a
horse and buggy, Sunday, and drove
down TO Rellair. Putting themselves
outside large quantity of Buckeye
whisky, they started on their return
home. Arriving on this side the river,
they com menced making such a hide Gus
noise that the horse they were driving
took fright and started off at the top oil
his speed. Their stced was not choice
in his selection of road, and bringing
up The vehicle with round turn against
a tree, reduced it to chaotic state. The
merry lads were spilled out rather I'M
| tremendously, but sustained no seri-
Gus injuries.

NEARLY eimade mention
few mornings since, of a little boy be-
ing severely hurt in Benwood, by coal
car passing over him. The little fellow
died the next day. Yesterday we were
informed that the father of the boy, a
dav or two after the sad occurrence, met
the party who usually drove that car,
and attaching blame to him for the ac--
cident, gave him terrible beating. Not
long afterwards another party, who
took some interest in the matter, came
across the supposed driver and admin
istered to him a still severer castiga-
ton. By this time the unfortunate man
had little life left in him, as we are In.
formed. It was subsequently, ascer-
tanned that the man was not in charge
OF the car at the time of the accident,
and that he had been numerically
beaten for transaction with which he
had nothing to do. We had not heard be-
fore that blame was attached to any ONE
and do not know that it could be. We
would hope that the occurrence was
purely accidental, and should think
that rigid inquiry ought to have been
made before resortlng to such harsh
measures. We do not vouch for the
correctness of the circumstances above
narrated, but give them as they were
told US by a gentleman living at no
great distance from the scene of the out

CoRRECTIoN.-We gave in yesterdays
paper, what we supposed to be the
correct arrivals and departures of the
passenger trains in this city, over the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The ia
bles are made out taking Baltimore
time as the standard, and our error con-
sisted in adding twenty minutes to the
figures given, instead of subtracting
therefrom. We believe the following
will be found correct: Mail train ar
rives at $40 A. NJ; Fast line, 7:O5 A. NJ;
Express, 4:25 z. NJ; Grafton Accommo-
dation, $3.50 p. NJ.
Grafton Accommodation leaves at
5:35 \. ri; Express, 1870 a. NJ; Fast
line, $50 =. NJ; Mail train, 1880 p, NJ.

UNFEELING HUSBAND. - We made
mention of the departure OF Mrs. Ian
genberg, OF this city, for Europe one
day last week from Baltimore. We
were told yesterday that Mrs. LIS hus-
band had procured tickets from the
agent of the steamship line in our city,
Esquire Hammer, for himself and fam
lily, and so far as Is known intended
fully to have accompanied his wife to
the Old World. An hour before the
train left which was to carry them to
Baltimore, Mr.. L. ordered an express
wagon to convey his baggage to the de-
pot, as he assured his wife, and since
that time nothing has been heard Of
him, The wife remained until the
evening train, and the time interven-
in was employed in endeavoring to as
certain the missing husbands where
abouts. All efforts in that direction
were unsuccessful. and the abandoned
wife was compelled to leave without
him,-all the arrangements for Their
permanent removal to their native land
having been made. Since this strange
occurrence the search for the unnatural
husband has been continued, but not g
trace of him has been discovered.

STATE AGENT.-We are pleased to
learn that our friend, Mr.. r. s. Irwin,
Jr., has been appointed State Agent OF
the Peabody Insurance Company, re-
Gently organized in this city. Mr.. r.
win has had several years experience
in the insurance business, having been
agent for the Home, of Columbus, Ohio.
He brings to the position, therefore, a
thorough acquaintance of its details,
and WI. congratulate the Peabody on
having been able to secure the services
Of one so thoroughly competent to dis
charge the duties to which Mr.. Irwin
has been assigned.

Missing CH1LD.-Sometime Friday
evening a little boy, son OF Andrew
Wheeler, residing in Centre wheeling,
disappeared and nothing has been
heard OF him since. Various stories
were af1oat in that section of the city In
reference to his disappearance. AT
late hour Saturday night, the follow
ing testimony was taken before Esqr.
Clohan. 1t will be seen that the fate OF
the little fellow is still in doubt al
though the impression Is growing
stronger that the evidence of Mr.. ITO
yer tells the story.

1869, left his house at four O'CLOCK

TEE LAST Rail LAID.-We presume
the last rail of the Pacific Railroad was
laid yesterday. Arrangements had
been made to telegraph the precise mo-
ment when the golden spike was driven,
and we were notified to be present at
the telegraph office in this city, to hear
the instrument click the blows as
struck. After waiting an hour, per-
haps, without hearing the heavy thuds
OF the hammer, we retired in good or

the continent we had not ascertained
the fact from any information we had
received at the telegraph Office.

POLICE CoURT.-As is usual on Mon
day mornings there was q fair amount
of business transacted in this court, yes
terday. The following cases we're dis
posed of: James Herriott, confessed to
being iuebrIated, and was iued one dol
lar and costs. Walter Burk and Rich
ard Welty, two youths who seem to
have been on slight bender, Sunday,
were arrested for creating disturbance
on the West Wheeling ferry boat, and
after landing INDUCED in the pleasant
pastime of stoning that institution. AT
ter hearing the testimony, fine of five
dollars and costs in each case was inn
posed by His Honor. We heard that

Justice in Ohio, Sunday, and fined for
the same offence committed over in that
State.
Sarah Richard son, whose trial for
using abusive language towards one of
the Sisters at the Convent was contin-
ued on Saturday morning, was present,

A VALUABLE AND TIMELY PUBL1CA-
T1oN.-We have effected an arrange
ment with Col. J. G. s. FITZPATRICK,
of Baltimore, who is now in the city,
to issue for him "RAILRoAD AND
STEAMBOAT TIME TABLE," designed to
exhibit, at a glance, the time OF arrival
and departure of all passenger trains,
and regular steamers to and from the
city of Wheeling, with the railroad con-
nections North, South, East and West;
time, fare, and distance to all principal
cities in the United States, etc., etc.
The Time Table will be surrounded
with border of business cards, and
will be furnished gratuitiously to the
hotels of this city, to all regular Wheel
ing Packets, to the principal stations
on railroads diYerging from the city,
and to each person or firm advertising
therein. The Colonel proposes to fur
nish with each copy of the Time Table
a neat iapanned tin frame suitable
for hanging in Offices, etc., and so con-
structed as to admit of the insertion OF
a new card without taking the frame
down, and has contracted with the
"DA1LY INTELL1GENCER" to correct, re-
print and deliver said Time Tables
promptly after each alteration of time
during the ensuing year. Advertisers
will obtain wide publicity by secur-
ing the insertion of card in this pub
LEGATION, as it will be thoroughly and
conspicuously posted throughout that
section from which our city derives its
trade.

RIVER NEws.-The river continues to
recede at this point, the marks showing
but nine feet ten inches last evening.
The Golden Eagle arrived yesterday
morning from Cincinnati, with the best
passenger trip she has had this season.
Capt. Davis and his elegant packet are
deservedly popular, and are rapidly
gaining the confidence of the public.
No finer. craft or more genial COM
mander navigates the Upper Ohio. The
Eagle leaves on her return trip this
afternoon at o'clock. The short line
packets made their trips. The Rebecca
will be found at the wharf this morn
ing. She will getaway for Parkersburg
at IL O'Clock. Two or three lows OF
| empty barges passed up yesterday.

Row.-A saloon on Jacob street, just
south of Division, was the scene of q
first class row on Saturday afternoon.
Several of the participants were arrest
ed on Sunday and brought before
Esqr. Clohan, who released them on
giving security for their appearance
before him last evening at O'Clock.
At that hour two of them were forth
coming when full investigation of the
affair was had. The names OF those
tried last night are Lawrence McGarrel
and Samuel Speidel. The testimony
showed that it was a pretty bloody
ARRAY, in which heavy iron poker
played no uncomfortable part. Speidel
seemed to have been roughly handled,
as his head and face were almost en-
tirely covered with bandages. He was
fined one dollar and costs, which he
paid; while McGarrel, who was shown
to have borne leading part in the
drama, was fined five dollars and COSTS
besides being required to give bond in
the penalty of fifty dollars to keep the
peace for three months. There is still
one of the party at large, who is reputed
to haYe been the ringleader. The OFF,
GERS were unable to get hold of him.
although they spent the greater portion
OF yesterday in trying to effect his ar
rest.
After the Justice had got through
with McGarrel and Speidel, the city au-
thorities appeared upon the scene and
took them into custody to be dealt with
for violation of the city ordinances
When we left the office the police had
them in charge, and were making ar
engagements to conduct them to the
lock up. We shall probably have the
"same subject continued" this morning
in the police court.

SENT TO JA1L.-George Knoke has
been having rough time OF it recently,
so far as the sale of whisky at his sa-

member how many times he has been
prominently before the public within
the last month for violations of the Or
dinance in relation to coffee houses.
Yesterday he was up before Judge
Johnston for selling liquor on Sunday,
and during the investigation of that
charge the testimony developed that he
had made himself liable in two or three
instances by selling to minors. BE was
held to bail on three charges in the sum
of one hundred dollars each, and in
default was sent to Jail. The end is not

In THE C1TY.-Mr. J. NJ. ktmball,
general ticket agent of the Cleveland q
Pittsburgh Railroad, was in the city,
yesterday, looking after the interests of
his road. We are pleased to hear that
the c. 81 P. is doing a fine business
both in freight and passengers. The
track is in splendid condition and the
rolling stock was never better. These
are matters which the travelling public
do not overlook. and are always ap-
preciated,
