CASE OF INFANTICIDE.
NewIy-BOrn Infant Murdered
The Body Found in a Cellar.
DEATH CAUSED BY STANDARDIZATION

Yesterday morning, about 9 o'clock,
the body of newly-born male infant
was found in the cellar of the house Of
Elijah Day, on Market street, between
Jefferson and Adams. Around the neck
of the babe Q piece of muslin had been
twisted so tight as to produce death by
straugulation. When found the body
was wrapped up in piece Of old quilt
and was yet warm.
Word was sent to Squire Barley, OF
Washington township, who at once pro.
ceeded to the house indicated, summon.
ed jury and held an inquest. The jury
found verdict of death by strangula-
ton by some person to the jury nm
known.ns
We do not feel at liberty to state who
is suspected of being the unnatural
mother who thus killed her offspring
until further action is had, but we feel
pretty certain that she will be arrested
in day or two.

THE WATCH TRADE. - The watch
trade has become quite feature in the
business of Wheeling. We now have
in our midst a firm enterprising enough
to import Watches direct from Switzer-
land. Oxtoby g. Dufield, the Market
street Jewellers, have had their watch
in the market for near year, and many
are the testimonials, they have received
as to its merits for accuracy as to time,
neatness of finish, and durability as q
steady, reliable time-piece. The watch
bears their firm name, and is guaran-
teed in every respect.

ou1rr A RoMaNcE-Every day de-

QuITE A RonfANcE.-Eyery day de-
monstrates the truth Of the'adage that
truth is stranger than fiction. In this
city yesterday there was quite q TO-
mantle episode that would furnish am-
pie materials for first-class novel.
Some years ago there lived in this
neighborhood family, in comfortable
circumstance and respectfully con-
nected. One of the daughters married
wealthy man and moved South be-
fore the war. Her husband was an off,
cer in the Confederate army, and, cut
off from all communication with the
North, she had no means of learning
anything of her family. When she
went away her sister, who had married
q gentleman named Riley some time
previous, became the mother OF q
daughter. This child was o great
favorite with the aunt, and was two
years old when she went South.
Misfortune came upon that portion
of the family living in this State. They
were greatly reduced in circumstances,
and death narrowed the family circle.
The child mentioned above, now q
modest, bright, unassuming girl OF
thirteen years of age, was engaged as a
nurse girl by our friend MajOr Wright,
Of Geo. R. Taylor & Co., and by her
care, attention and womanly ways, was
held in great regard by Major Wright
and his lady.
Yesterday morning there arrived at
the Mcclure House a lady elegantly
dressed, and whose appearance indica-
ted her to be wealthy and one moving
in the highest walks of life. Casually
passing into the reception room of the
hotel, she was struck by the appearance
of the little nurse girl, and at once
questioned her as to her name
and parentage. These inquiries salts
fed the lady that the nurse girl and
her niece were one and the same person.
Her joy at thus finding one Of her long
lost relatives can be more easily mag
ined than described. Explanations
were made and the lady learned for the
first time of the death of her father
three or four years since. She had
written everywhere in hope Of hearing
some tidings of her relatives, but failing
she determined to start out in search OF
them. 1t seems as if the hand of Prov
idence had guided her here, for she had
not the least idea where they were.
She learned that her sister, Mrs. Riley,
was living in Newburgh. She at once
fitted out her niece in new apparel and
took her to that place, leaving here on
the noon train yesterday. Who will
say now that there is no romance in
real lifei

TIE LADIES SoROSIs CLUB, of New
York, recently changed their discus
sions from woman's suffrage to Hair
preparations and Pimple Banishers.
They declared that where nature had
not endowed them with beauty, it was
their right-yes, their duty-to seek it
where they could. So they all voted
that Magnolia Balm overcame SallOw-
ness, Rough Skin and Ring marks, and
gave to the complexion a most distiRgue
(Sorosian) and marble-like appearance
dangerous to men, no doubt; and that
Lyons Kathairon made the Hair grow
thick, soft and awful pretty, and more
over prevented it from turning gray,
If the proprietors Of these articles did
not send the sisters an invoice, they are
not smart.

ISOLATION is that it can't rain always; OF
if it does we won't be here longer than
forty days and nights to endure it. The
last forty days rain was fatal to great
many people.
