A collateral condition associated with these

Industrial pursuits and wants OF the community,
but chiefly for the saving o. lumber and the
grinding OF grain, many OF the streams have been
damned up to form n1tu ponds, or extensive re-

Another point OF scarcely less importance and

HANDSOME AND UsEFUL.-At gilbert
son & Fishers Star Foundry, yesterday
we saw one of the Deatest aud NEST use
ful inventions of the age. 1t is called
the utility CRATE, and is constructed on
scientific principles. BY its use at
least thirty per cent. of the fuel is con-
sumed; it prevents the ashes from
coming out into the room, and consumes
all the coal smoke. 1t be fitted to
any CRATE and should be seen by every
housekeeper. As we say above, it is
one of the most useful inventions of the
age. Beside the crate We were shown
combination fower-stand and garden
chair Of most beautiful design
and finish. The fower-stand is 30 ar.
ranged as to allew all the flowers to be
turned to the light, and will form q
handsome parlor ornament. The iron
hat-rack manufactured at this foundry
is one of the neatest and cutest things
in the market. 1t takes up no room
and is just the thing for small hall
One of the latest improvements brought
out by this euterprisipg firm is an iron
store stool, which they can furnish al
IS per cent. less than they can be pur'
chased for in New York, and are better
made and more serviceable article. The
many new and beautiful designs fol
iron window caps made at this estab
lishment are appreciated by builders
who are ordering largely, thus getting
better and cheaper articles than they
can buy elsewhere, and encourage home
| industry.

PROPOSED OPERA HoUsE.-For some
time movement has been on foot look
ing to supply one of Wheeling's great
est needs, place of amusement where
the audience will be comfortable and
not subject to the caprice of the jsni-
tor, and which shall be sufficiently
lighted to enable acquaintance to
recognize each other across the build
ing with the aid of an opera glass.
Such place as we have not now. We
are glad to learn that this movement
has reached a point where it may be
pronounced successful. The PROPOSE.
ton is to take so much of the Mcclure
House as is south of the barber shop,
and by running partition 80 as to in
clude about half the inner court, make
an Opera House about 100 feet long by
sixty-five or sixty-six feet wide. From
this length stage twenty-five feet deep
is to be taken off. This will leave an
auditorium which, with the second tier,
will seat from one thousand to twelve
hundred people comfortably. 1t is pro-
posed to have the main entrance on
Market street, about where the street
railway office now is. To make this
change and give US right gemmy
Opera House, it is estimated, $4,000
will be necessary. This it 10 proposed
70 raise by means of joint stock
company, which is already organized
and doing we'll in obtaining subscribe
ers. We trust that the gentlemen hav-
ing this matter in charge will push it to
a successful issue. Then let them make
arrangements to have their house
licensed, 50 that first-class amusements
will not be driven away by our oppres
sivo license tax. 1t is fact that an
entertainment of sufficient merit to
draw Gro wds elsewhere, will not como
here because Of the excessive tax on
amusements, and we have to pat up
with second or third rate Shows" who
have nothing to lose, and make out to
pay expenses because our people get
"hungry" for amusement of some sort.
Give us decent place of amusement,
make the license tax reasonable and our
citizens will no more be troubled with
Billy Pastors, Hattie Watsons and the
like, for the best troupes travelling will
visit us, and there will be no vacant
night for one-horso performance.

CAPTURE OF A BIGAMIST.
A MAN WITH FOUR WIVES.
He is Married a Good Deal

On the 9th day of September, 1862 a
man named Amos Terry, married in thls
city Olivia Haues. he then having =
wife alive, whom be married in 1853
her maiden name being Margaret Lu
ker. Afterwards be married girl
living on Wheeling Island and one in
Steubenvllle, Ohio, the latter on the 9th
of March last.
On yesterday the second Mrs. Terry
went before Squire Johnston, and
charged the gay Amos with bigamy and
he chances are that the gay Amos will
60 up. He was arrested and committed
to Jail in default of 500 bail, for fur.
Their hearing.
Amos denies that he was ever married
to Miss Luker, but unfortunately for
him, he had written her several letters
acknowledging the soft impeachment,
and she was just smart enough to save
them. When the case comes up for
hearing, we will give all the particulars.
Amos has been living with the last wife
having right jolly honeymoon, passing
his hours in delight and in the boat
yard, where he has been at work.
For cool amateur Brigham Young
st, there are no superiors to Amos. He
had only started on his marrying career.
Four wives in one mans short career is
taking good deal of stock in marital
happiness.

THE XIV AMENDMESr CzLEBRAr1os.

The XIV AMENDMENT CELEBRATION
Our colored citizens turned out il
force yesterday to celebrate the passag'
Of the Fifteenth Amendment, and thei
assumption Of the rights of citizens
Led by band of music came the Coco
remplars, colored citizens generally
the colored scholars from the kigl
school on the hill and a wagon load O
amendments to the amendment-negrt
women and babies. Contrary to al
precedent, the orators of the day, OF
rather night, Governor Stanton and
Archy Campbell, did not appear in the
procession. Why was thisf Are they
ashamed to be seen walking in
a procession of colored peo
plei It's none of our bust
ness, but we'd like to know, you know
General Banks was present. The Gen
eral, we understand, designs running
far the Office of Jus ice, SO that he car
issue Zone OBJ dem snippem -greasers
what gifts a man ills as we'll whar be isn't
as whsr be is" The procession, gorgeous
with flags and red collars and blue
ssshes, passed through the principal
streets of the city, going as far south
as Ritchietown. A gun squad, with .
cannon, stationed on the hill above
town making the welkin ring again
Taking it altogether, the affair was 8
success.
We noticed in the procession, acting
as Marshal, we believe, colored brother
who fought with the Confed-rstes al
Brandy Station, and done good service
for the Stars and Bars there. We would
like to know if he has been recon
structed, and if not, how he can vote
as the laws of this State now aref II
the negro has acquired the same rights
as white men, one of those rights is the
right to be DISTINGUISHED for aiding in
and sympathising with the rebellion
That darkie can't vote.
The evenings entertainment was
opened with a wedding between Mr..
Ferguson and Miss Charlotte Grant.
About 8 o'clock Archy Campbell ora.
ted to the collection of whites and
blacks gathered there. He commenced
with the birth of Adam, ano had only
got down as far as Llncoln's first term
when we left. As he had nine years to
60, we coul dn't possibly spare the time
to hear the speech out. He said one
notable thing, however, that the Re-
publican party had no right to arrogate
to itself the credit of freeing and en-
franchising the negro. 1t did not be-
long to it.
He was followed by Governor Stanton,
who told the colored people that the
Government had done all for them that
it could do. For the future they must
look out for themselves.
General Banks was unable to speak,
the other orators having occupied so
much time that it wsuld neither have
been just to him or to his audience fer
him to have delivered a speech. We
think that this was shabby treatment
of the General, and must have arisen
from a jealousy of his powers.
