THE FORTHCOMING FIFTY CENT
NOTES.-The new specimen plates for
the forthcoming fifty cent note, to take
the place of the last series of that de-
nomination so quickly and successfully
initiated by the counterfeiters, will be
ready to be submitted to the Secretary
of the Treasury in very short time. 1t
will be the endeavor, in giving new
trial to the note engravers, to avoid un-
necessary lines in the plates, so as to
have as much clean paper on the note as
possible, it being held that too much en-
craving leads to confusion and requires
too close study in order to determine as
to genuineness. Tho superintendent of
the note printing bureau will insist
strenuously on this plan, which, from
close inquiry in England, he ascertainGd
to be the easiest way of ursetting the
makers Of bogus currency. Al note with
well executed vignetts, with clear and
neatly engraved figures and letters, rep
resentipg the denomination and the
signatures, and with nothing else to
confuse the vision, is regarded by the
Bank of England as the very best kind
of paper to represent money value; be-
cause the expert will see at glance
when it has been initiated; and after the
discovery the note so vitiated is at once
called in and the plate destroyed. This
plan makes the business of counterfeit
ing them too arduous and costly to be
successfully engaged in.

FESTIVAL To-NIGnT.-The festival
for the benefit of st. Matthew's Church,
to be given at Washington Hall to.
night, promises TO be most recherche
affair. The ladies connected with this
church have always had the credit OF
getting up the most enjoyable festivals
given in the city, and they design to-
night out-doing all previous efforts
That they will be well pationized is
beyond doubt. Tho object of the fes-
tival-to raise funds to pave in front OF
the church-is one all our citizens are
interested in, and they can in no better
way show their interest than By attend.

SAMUEL HARPER.-We regret to an
nounce this morning the death Of one of
our best known and most respected cit
liens, Mr.: Samuel Harper, of the firm Of
Harper & Bro. Nearly three weeks ago,
Mr.. Harper was attacked by pluro-
pneumonia, but was slowly recovering
until last Sunday, when Inflammation
Of the liver took place and his death
ensued on yesterday afternoon at one
o'clock. He was native of this place,
and by his industry and energy had won
a prominent place among the successful
business men of the city. During the
past two years, he represented the
Fourth Ward in the First Branch of the
City Council. He was still o young
man, but little above thirty years of
age, and has been cut down in the prime
of his usefulness and the full tide ofsuc-
cess. The warmest sympathies of our
entire community are rendered to the
sorrowing family of which he was 90
prominent member. A.

ON THE WING.-For the past two days
we have been on the wing, We paid a
flying visit on Tuesday to Cantsn, Ohio,
looked at the new Court House and the
Holly Water Works, returning last even
ing. The new Court House is one of
the handsomest and most convenient in
OAio, if not in the West, and its erection
and completion shows liberality and
public spirit Ohio county would do well
to initiate. This county does need
a new Court House, badly. After
seeing the one built by the citizens of
Stark county, Ohio, we are about half
ashamed of this. During our trip we
met great many old acguaintancesa and
right jolly fellows. Among them we
may mention Robert Woods, Esq, of
the New Lisbon Patriot, Ed. Menary, Of
the Canton Republican, McGregor, of the
Stark county Democrat, and Dan Sour
beck, proprietor of the dining rooms at
Alliance, the best railroad hashery we
ever stopped at. We can say this with
O clear conscience.

A GROWING EvIL.-There are some
men in this city who can lay no claim
to decency. They are immersed in the
lowest vices, obscenity forming a prom
ineut feature of their character. Ladies
who have occasion to pass these repro
bates are frequently insulted by rude
and insulting remarks, some of which
are Internationally vulgar. The immu-
nifty from arrest which these ulcers in
the body polite have enjoyed for years
has emboldened them to such an extent
that they have now no fear of being
punished. The adherence ladies have
to appearing before the authorities and
preferring charges against these brutes
saves them from the meshes of the law
and encourages them to continue in
their reprehensible course.

RIVER NEws.--Ice is running so
heavily in the river that navigation is
suspended. There will be no packets
leaving until there is "let up" in the
weather sufficient to melt the ice. The
river is falling with about thirteen feet
of water in the channel. At Pittsburgh
there is seven feet three inches end
falling.
Between this and Wellsville we saw
three ice-bound towboats and their
bsrges. Two of these, the Lioness and
one whose name we could notmake out,
are just above Sloan's.
We noticed very handsome modelled
light draft steamer is being built at
Wellsville. We could not learn who
she belonged to, or what trade she is
intended for.

POLICE CoURT.-The conduct of per-
sons arrested daily for drunkenness
strikingly illustrates the diversified Ell
fects OF Intoxicating drinks. One VIC
tim of the ''cup" appears to be entirely
oblivious to what is transporting about
him and sleepily and helplessly moves at
the instance of the officer having him In
charge. Another is highly incensed at
his arrest and considers it an indignity,
deserving of his severest reprehenslon'
He not only feels and thisks thus, but
demonstrates is in the most emphatic
manner. A third regards it as infin,
itely amusing and pursues his way to
the Mayors Office and prison in the
most exuberant spirits.
One of this latter class is that emf
nent galoot and, experienced benzinist,
John Wesley Porter. To be arrested,
taken to the calaboose, then to be fined
and sent to the chain gang John Wesley
thinks the biggest joke ever got off on
the city of Wheeling. And it's joke
John Wesley is continually playing on
our city. 1t is but day or two since
he left Prof. Noah Prices academy,
where the sublime science of ge-
ology is practically and tex-
clusively taught, and on yes
terday he was up again. And
he'll continue to play this little
game all winter. When the Spring
time comes, gentle Annie, John Wesley
will return to his native hills in Bel
mont county, Ohio, and by foraging Oh
hen roosts and the like will manage to
pass a comfortable and careless summer.
Next winter he will be back in Wheel
ing to get off his joke on the city again.
For being drunk and disorderly John
Wesley Porter was fined S. and costs.
As a matter of course he couldn't liquid
lte, so he taketh his regular geological!
instruction for twenty days.
