RoBBERY.-We fear that robbery is
again about to assume an epidemic
form in our city. We reported two in
yesterday mornings paper and have the
same number for this issue. None Of
them, however, assume very large pro-
portions, but they may be precursors OF
some large transactions not Tar in the
future. Should these proceedings con-
tinue, our citizens will have to resort to
that last refuge Of an outraged commu-
nity-a Vigilance Committee. Whether
that stage has not been already reached
they must judge for themselves.
The meanest robbery we have heard
OF was that or the residence of Mrs. w
G. Battelle, on the Island, a few nights
since. We were unable to get the par
ticulars, but were told that q number of
articles were taken. Our readers will
remember that Mrs. B. was deeply be-
reaved only last week by the death OF
her husband, and If there was needed
any additional proof of the doctrine OF
total depravity, we think the fact that
a wretch exists with heart base
enough to rob the house Of a lady under
such circumstances, furnishes the full
est evidence OF it's truthfulness.
On Tuesday evening an entrance was
effected through the rear door of Nc
Manaway's saloon, on Main street,
North Wheeling, and the contents OF
the bar to the amount of forty or fifty
dollars were carried away.

I. o. G. T.-Columbia Lodge and
friends were out in full force last even
ing at Templars' Hall on Main street.
The hall was literally packed, and
the crowd enjoyed themselves hugely.
AS we anticipated, the dramatir part of
the exercises, as we'll as the tableaux
aid music, was excellent, and passed
OF to the entire satisfaction of every
body. The selections were good, and
had the further recommendation of be-
ing net0 In this section. This last fact
OF itself was an inducement to be pre-
sent, as it has been long time since
anything not very threadbare, has been
attempted here on such an occasion.
The various parties engaged in render
ing the dramatic pieces and tableaux
evinced more than ordinary care in
preparation for their appearance before
an audience, and the ease, readiness
and appropriateness with which they
sustained their respective roles showed
more than ordinary talent for dramatic
representation. We trnst the Columbias
will soon get up another such enter
tainment as that given last night.

MANY years ago the writer OF this
notice and an invalid physician, while
visiting the Island of st. Croix for their
health, experienced and witnessed
many surprising and beneficial effects
of the Rum there produced upon many
of the invalids who were, like our
selves, seeking health, and upon in
quiry and investigation, obtained a full
history of its medicinal virtues. He
was delighted and surprised, and de-
termined to make it the basis of Tonic
and Restorative Medicine. The result
of his labors was a glorious success for
himself and suffering humanity. The
celebrated PLANTATION BITTERs was
thus made known to the world. Being
an article of real merit, founded on
new principles, and relying wholly
upon the vegetable kingdom for its
medicinal effects, it worked a rapid
revolution in the treatment of physical
debility.

HoMEwARD BoUND.-Ten or twelve
genuine Red men of the forest crossed
the river at Benwood on Tuesday even
ing, en- route from Washington, where
they had been to see the Great Father
inaugurated. A gentleman who travel
ed with them for day informs us that
they were splendid specimens OF men
In physique, and seemed to be deeply
interested in whatever was new to
them. They were in charge of Com
missioner who acted as interpreter and
took special pains to make their trip
pleasant. The party will carry to their
far western homes enlarged ideas ofthe
power and resources OF their pale faced
brethren.

CIRCUIT CoURr.-The only thing OF
more than ordinary interest which
TRANSFERRED in this Court, yesterday, was
the rendition of a verdict OF not guilty
in the case of the State Us. Schonert. The
cases on the civil docket are now being
considered, and will probably occupy
the Court for week or two. We do
not know that our readers would care
to see each days proceedings in the
paper. Elsewhere it Is done, and we
cannot now think Of any good reason
why the practice should not be followed
here.

FoUNDLING.-Last evening about half
past six o'clock an infant was found on
one of the blocks, in the Second Ward
Market house. The child was ap-
pArently about one month old, and its
presence in that strange place was dis
covered by lady passing who heard it
cry. Quite bundle of clothing was
found alongside of it, which from Its
character, showed that its parents who
ever they might be were not in INDECENT
circumstances. The "little stranger"
was taken care OF, but we could not
ascertain by whom.

CHANGEs.-Since the advent of the
new Administration in our State some
changes in the arrangement of the Off
ces in the Capitol have been made
The books, papers, &C., in the Treasur.
er's Office have been removed to the
east end OF the Senate Chamber, and
the Secretary of State will hereafter &C.
cupy the room vacated by the Treasur-
err, and the one adjoining.
The Superintendent of Free Schools
has taken up his quarters at the west
end OF the Senate Chamber, and Will
be much better accommodated than
when occupying an office jointly with
the Auditor on the first floor. That OF
ticer, too, will, by this arrangement,
have enlarged facilities for transacting
the rapidly increasing business of his
office. The new officers are getting
fairly down to the work before them,
and the people may rely upon it that
their interests will be efficiently and
faithfully guarded by those to whom
they have been committed.

TO BE RE-ARGUED.-Many persons
the Court of Appeals in the Steenrod
will case. On Tuesday morning the
Court announced that as the bench
was not full when the case was argued
at tho former term, it was desirable
that re argument should be had, now
that the third member of the Court had
taken his seat on the bench. The Sec
Dad argument, we presume, will not be

BOARD OF REGENTs.-A meeting of
the Board of Regents of the Normal
School at Fairmont was held yesterday
ip the Auditors Office. Besides the
transaction of the current business the
Board unanimously elected Prof. w.
R. White, Principal of the Fairmont
School. It was determined to open the
School on the first Monday in April.
It is not necessary for us to say any
thing of Prof. Whites qualifications for
the position. he is well known
throughout the State, and deservedly
occupies prominent place among the
best educators in the country. We con-
graduate the Board and the people OF
the State in being so fortunate as to Sc
cure the services of one so eminent in
his profession and so devotedly attach
ed to 1t. Under Prof. WIS. regime we
predict a future of great prosperity in
store for the Normal School at Fair
mont.

A Huge Catamount.


About ten days since, Mr.. William Shipe'
residing in Powell's Fort, at the base of the
range Of mountains forming the western bdun
dairy of that valley, had occasion to go to the
top of the ridge Immediately in the rear of
his house, and did not return until nightfall.
As he WIS picking his way along the precipl
tous sides of the mountain, and when about
half the distance down, he heard slight
rustling noise behind him, and, true to the
hunters instinct, turned his head quickly, and
attempted to peer to the twilight gloom Of
the laurels above, but failed to discover any
| thing more than the chipping of the night
insects and the lugubrious hooting of an owl
far away across the shadowy void. Without
further precau ton than the examination of
the cap upon his rifle, which he always carries
with him into the mountains, he continued
his way. His course now lay through one of
the widest glens in all that wilderness of rock,
tree and bush, and to man Of less nerve than
Shpe, the situation would have been any
thing but enviable. True, he was 'supon his
native hills and cleared nor man nor beast,
as open foe," but for the silent, stealthy fer
ocious animal, that he suspected was upon his
track, he had some misgivings. He knew the
habits of almost every denizen of the forest
and what watchful care ii required to prevent
an attack from the beast he was thinking of
when driven to madness by hunger He well
knew the caution and secresy SO characteIis-
tic of the species, but thought he could reach
the open country before being overtaken, and
thus avoid meeting in the dark. But he was
mistaken, for he had not gained more than
half the distance across the glen when he
again heard the low rustling Of the
leaves that had startled him farther up the
mountain. This time he also turned quickly
about, but with lis rife cooked, and raised o
his shoulder. The first glance showed him
exactly what he ID been expecting: A pair
of glowing eyes: burning upon him with a fix
idity and sparkle that cannot be described by
words. and moving towards him with the seem
ingly involuntary motion Of the spider when
stealing upon his prey. 1t was well for Shipe
that he turned so suddenly, and raised his
piece SO promptly, for, although the beast
was still hugging the ground, his head was
erect for the fatal spring. A click, sharp
report, a leap into the air, and heavy thud
upon the ground, ten or fifteen steps distant,
and our m0untaineer was standing over pro,
badly the largest leopardaat ever killed in
this county. lie weighed nearly one hundred
pounds, was beautifully marked with black
spots, upon grayish white skin as delicate
and firm as velvet, ard was doubtless one Of
the finest specimens of his kind living, but
oh, what murderous claws-two inches In
length Of curve-were concealed within those
elegantly padded feet. Perhaps the best
idea can be formed of his size from the fact
that when Mr.. Shipe, who is man of over
six feet in height, wishing to test his weight
by lifting, took him by the hind legs, drew
them up and over the top of his head, and
the animal still hung upon the ground.

Idle Bows.

Is work so scarce that so many Of our town
boys must lounge along the streets all day,
and even try to keep those who have manli-
ness enough TO work, from it, by their impu-
dent annoyance. Certainly their parents
must be at fault, in great measure. in not
placing these oilers to trades and other en-
ployment, and have them raised up to useful
ness. Society demands that this evil be cor
rected, for no one has a right to violate these
fundamental laws Of society any more than
the statutory enactments Of the land. The
country is no more ours than that we belong
to our country. and it has claims that we can
not deny.
