FINE FURNlTURE.--We took a look
through the extensive furniture estab-
lishment of J. C. Orr & Co., yesterday,
and were astonished at the extent, style
and elegance of the furniture manufac-
ture in Wheeling. Here, in profusion,
we found the most costly and fashiona-
BILE parlor sets of oiled walnut and ma
hogany in green silk and wool reps or
hair cloth, negliege chairs, marble top
bureaus, dressing cases with full length
mirrors, side boards in walnut and rose
wood, chamber sets, of all patterns and
almost all prices, gothic hall chairs,
lounges, wardrobes, mirrors, and a full
line of Commoner goods. Two dressing
bureaus arranged on a, to US, new
style attracted our attention. The
irror on one of them is double, and
the two glasses are so arranged as to
show the back as we'll as the front of
the person. The other is arranged with
shelves behind the mirror where per-
fumes or trinkets may be concealed
without suspicion of their locality.
Orr d Co. are making speciality of the
manufacture of school desks. They are
making a single or double folding seat
school desk that has won the highest
praise wherever it has been introduced.
They are also preparing fine lot of
writing desks, fancy chairs and other
presentation articles for the holidays.

GCUMENICAL.-The exact meaning
of this word has recently become the
subject of dispute. The general idea
prevails that ecumenical simply sig
mites general" The word, however,
is derived from the Greek noun oikoa.
meme, meaning the inhabited world"
which was used by the ancient Hellenes
to designate their portion of the earth,
as opposed to barbarian lands. Later
it became the appellation of the Gro
man Empire" and persons who adhere
to the primitive meaning of words, and
will not admit secondary senses, con-
tend that an ecumenical council can
not now be held. The first councils, it
is contended, were meetings of the
bishops of the Roman Empire, and
were presided ever by the reigning en-
peror or his representative. In the
New Testament, "oikumene" is en-
ployed to denote the "Kingdsm of
Christ"

we'll printed and well edited journal,
circulating in the oil regions Of this

ONO CouN1Y C1RcUIr CoURr.-l

OHIO COUNTY CIRCUIT CoURT.-A
very interesting trial of the right OF
property was had in our Circuit Court,
yesterday. In 1867 N. W. Kicks, then
resident of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, moved
from Jefferson county to Warren county,
Ohio. Taking Wheeling in his way, j.
NJ. Fogle & Co., and others of his cred.
itors, attached certain property then in
Ohio county and in Kicks possession.
The property thus attached was
claimed by Mrs. Zalinda Winston,
as hers. Kicks gave a forth
coming bond and the property was de-
livered to Mrs. Winston. The suit
brought yesterday was, as we have
said, to try the right of property. The
case was submitted to the jury about {
o'clock last evening, who, after a few
moments duration, found that Mrs,
Winston was the rightful owner of the
property attached by ]. N. Fogle & Co,
The Court will adjourn on Saturday
next, probably.
There is a likelihood Of q special
chancery term of our Circuit Court be-
ing held within a month OF two.

RED MEMS BALL.-By the advertise
ment in this mornings paper it will be
seen that Cornstalk Tribe No. 2, l. o.
R. NJ, intend giving q grand ball at
Turner Hall on Friday evening, Decem-
Der 81. The arrangements for splen-
did time are all complete, and we are
satisfied that all who attend will pass q
happy night. As the ball is given to
aid in completing the new lodge room
the Red Men are fitting up in the new
Crangle Block, on Market street, we
hope our citizens will patronizs them
literally.

SEWER CAvED IN.-The sewer on the
right hand side of the north end of the
stone bridge, on Main street, about ten
yards from the end of the bridge, cayed
in last night about seven o'clock, max
ing very dangerous hole in the side
walk. Three boys, between twelve and
fourteen years of age, in running home
from the rain, had very narrow escape
from falling into the hole. They were
stopped by officers Reed and Detwiler
just in time to save them. The officers
also got planks and covered up the hole,
which is ten or twelve feet across, with
a prospect of more caving in during the
night.

HAIR JEwELRY.-Oxtoby & Duffield
Jewellers, 104 Market street, below Nc

engagements with one of the first
houses in New York to have oruamen-
tai hair work done to order, and they
can, on three or four days notice, have
braiding executed in the neatest style
of the art. A specimen book containing
an almost endless variety of styles can

friends who have preserved locks of
hair once worn by departed loved ones,
aud all others who may desire to have
hair jewelry finished in the best style,
will do well to leave orders at Oxtoby

This medicine has become Justly ceie-

It is on this account that the Rosadalis

SHOULD BE CAPTURED.-Monday even
ing as several young ledies were going
home unattended they were chased by a
brute in the form of man, and were
obliged to take refuge in the house OF a
citizen, who afterwards accompanied
them home and recognized the black
guard, who was waiting to give them
another scare. We hear that this is not
the first time this beast has chased
ladies who happened to be alone on the
street. Such men should be arrested
and set to work on the chain gang
during the rest of their dirty lives.

RIVER NEws.-!The prospect for big
river is now first rate, though the re-
ports from Pittsburgh yesterday were
not encouraging. There they have tive
feet ten inches in the MonoDgaheia, and
river stationary. Here we have nine
feet four inches and river swelling rap
ialy. The heavy rains of yesterday
coming on pretty full creeks hereabout'
must keep the water up for few days
at all events. If the rain was general
yesterday we may safely reckon on a
big river yet.
The Major Anderson left for Cincin'
natl with fair trip of freight and pas
sengers. She has freight engagements
below that will fill her up.
The Ironsides with barges passed
down yesterday, and tho Belle f.om
Packersburg went above.
The Sallie left Cincinnati yesterday
for Pittsburgh.
The st. Mary's left Cincinnati last
evening for New Orleans.
Mr.. ALT. Davitt, who has for a couple
of years fourished as the freight CLERK
of the immense Great Republic, has at
length determined to quit the river, and
goes to Pittsburgh, where he will en-
gage in the banking business.
A Marietta paper says: "The majes,
tic steamer Fleetwood, the king of all
the upper trade boats, is going to run
between Marietta and Cincinnati, leav-
ing the latter city Saturday evening, ar
irving here Monday morning, and leav-
ing Marietta Monday evening, Captain
Charles NJ. Holloway in command. She
may be expected here to 60 down next
Monday. She will make an interme-
diate trip between Cincinnati and Pom
eroy."
The Minneapolis Tribune says that {:
Cook, Esq, of that place, returned
some days ago from reconnaissance or
preliminary survey of the Upper mis-
sissippi river. He was accompanied by
James Whitehead, an experienced guide,
and traversed the river to Pokegama
Falls, thence on up Leech Lake river to
Leech Lake, $50 miles above Crow Wing.
He found Leech Lake frozen up solid
and the Government steamer fast IN the
ice, but it afterward thawed out. be
came down the river from Leech Lake to
Crow Wing in birch bark canoe. The
survey is made under direction OF Cen
eral Warren, the Government engineer,
preparatory to survey of the river for
navigation purposes.
The New Orleans Times of Thursday
says:
Business On the landing is beginning
to look up, as yesterday was one Of the
busiest days of the season. We notice
in front of the Red river packets large
shipments, while several lots were re-
fused by them, they having all they
wanted on the water in Red river; the
Red river packets had also good passen-
ger lists, while no small share Of
activity was displayed at the up
per landing, where several steam
ers were dlscharging and re-
ceiving at the same time. There has
been since our last report large num-
Der of arrivals, and among them sew
eral from the West, with full cargoes.

THEATRE.-As was to be expected on
such night as we had last night, there
was but q light audience in Washington
Hall. We are sorry it was so, for those
who did get out had a fine treat in Mrs.

Keene's rendition of the character of
the "Black Macbeth" To night we are
to have the great drama of Enoch Ar
den, with Mr.. Heene in the title role.

WILD TURKEYs.-We have been in
formed by those who frequent the rural
districts in search of this species of
game, that wild turkeys are numerous
the present season; but in the absence
of sufficient snow to cover their feeding
grounds, these shy deuizens of the forest
scarcely venture ont of sight of their
usual haunts in the mountains, and
therefore 1t is a difficult matter to cap
ture them.

A DAYS TEArEL-A span of horses
on our street railroad travels eighteen
miles a day. AS each driver has three
teams during the day, he gees thrice as
far as either span of horses, or fifty.fou
miles day. As they go every day, this
is 37S miles week, 1920 miles month
or 1870 miles in year. At this rate
of going for about fifteen months. a
street car driver makes the distance
necessary to &c round the world.

MARRIAGE LICENSES. During the
month of November there were twenty
one marriage licenses issued by Re-
corder Woods, against fourteen for the
same month in 1865, twenty-three in
lS67 and twenty-three in 1850 1t will
be seen that the number of persons
committing matrimony has not dec!eas.
ed much during the last four years.

Now DOES IT PAY This question is
asked directly or indirectly in every
act of orr lives. You never perform the
simple act Of shaking hands, or bowling
to an acquaintance, but that this ques-
ton is presented and answered in your
mind If not so, why are you gracious
to one individual and negleotrul to an
othcr' You may say that affection or
love prompts you in your actions to-
ward men; grant it. But what pays
better than love or affectionf Men
never conceive an affection for any
thing, no matter whether it be for dress
or eccentricity, fame rs man of science,
or reputation as n rouc; minister of
God. or worshipper of mammon, o
love of dogs and fast horses, or sup
plant at the pure shrine of some true
woman's love, but ,thosgh their thoughts
and motions may be as different as the
leaves of the forest, still if successful,
each and all expect to be paid, and well
paid too. But to return, "does it pay to
advertise e." A few months ago Robert
Bonner spent 100000 in advertising a
new story to be published in the New
York Ledger. He has now another new
story, and intends spending 100000 in
advertising il, He is the owner of the
fastest horse in the world, and spends
$4,000 per menth in advertising in the
New York dailies. Money TO him is no
object: he IS very wealthy, but says
printers ink made for him his fortune.
Ask yourself, Does it pay :" And try
advertising.

POLICE couRr.-There was an attend.

POLICE CoURT.-There was an attend
ance of youth, beauty and fine clothes
at the Police Court, yesterday, wonder
full to see.
Margaret Jones was there. Arrsyed
in gingham sunbonnet, the "boards" OF
which were limp and bent after day
in the rain and night in the calaboose;
q faded calico dress, neatly trimmed
with spangles of mud; a basque of three
ply quincy bag, and shoes without
stockings completed the attire of the
resplendent Margaret. Her hair, inno-
cent of comb, sprang up in majestic
chunks through the holes in her sun
bonnet, and her nose-eb, Maggie, the
reddest that shine woald grow pale by
the side of that red nose of thine. She
was arrested for being on the street
between the hours of o'clock ?. u.
and sunrise, contrary to the ordinance
IN such cases made and provided, she
being a social evil. In default of pay
ing sl0 and costs she retireth TO the Sc
clusion of Castle Faris.
Sarah Jane Morrow was found in COM
pany with the Margaret, which is JONES'
above mentioned. Arrayed as Gorgeous
ly as Margaret, as beautiful in appear
ance, she yet outranked her rival in that
she had q boot and slipper on her feet,
while the other could only afford two
boots, pair but not mates. Not haV-
ing received a remittance she Was una
BILE to deposit the so and costs demanded
of her, so she went also into seclnsIon
for twenty days.
The night is past; JOY cometh with
the morrow, for hatless and almost
headIess, and with folded arms and
stride like unto Forrest as Metamora,
cometh into court Cornelius, which is
Toby Vance, who left the study of the
sublime science of geology on Monday
afternoon, only. Having nothing else
to do, and being one of. those mighty
minds who find no rest save in action,
lobe at once proceeded to study the
composition of uptown whisky. Get
ting his skin as full of it as he could,
he became turbulent, aud when the of.
ficers attempted to arrest him he fought,
and gouged, and bit, and used blasphe-
nous language all the way to the GALA
boose. When the case was called yes
terday, lobe exhibited al unusual alac-
rity in confessing that he was drunk.
He didn't want any witnesses examined,
because if they were he would have a
thirty days ticket to the geological col
lege. He got off with fine of 81 and
costs or five days. He studieth.
John Woods was at Eckerts saloon,
North Wheeling, on Saturday night
about II o'clock. Getting into dis
pute with Patsey Higgins, he said he
could whip "any Irishman that ever
crossed the Atlantic" Patsey took the
liberty of doubling this, when Woods
got a sabre aud ilourished around right
lively in the intention to make minCe
meat of some citizen. He was arrested,
and yesterday Judge Good fined him s.
and costs.
The charge of disorderly conduct
filed against Patsey Higgins was not
sustained and the complaint was dis
missed.
