and sixteen in confinement, of
which three hundred and nine are
males, and seven females. Such
as are enumerated as pardoned, !,
mainly consisted of those whose
terms were about to expire, and
who were recommended for their
good behavior by the superintend.
ent. By anticipating the expira;
ton of their sentence the criminal
generally avoids the deprivation of
his civil rights, many of which
would be forfeited by their con.
summation. The effect of this
leniency is stated by the superin>
tendent as being most salutary in
promoting good behavior among
the convicts, and enabling him
from day to. day to designate large
numbers of the convicts for work
as lahorers, teamsters, and mechan>
les withoutthe presence of aguard
outside the enclosure OF the prison,
and not one has betrayed the con>
fidence thus reposed in them. The
superintendent makes variety OF
suggestions for the extension and
Improvement of the institution,
which are respectfully commended
to your favorable consideration.

The SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION
The excursion and picnic of the Eng.
lish Evangelical Lutheran Sunday
School, yesterday, on the packet Forest
City, to Steubenville, we are told by
those who went up, was a very enjoy,
able affair. 1t passed off without acct,
dent or anything to mar the happiness
or pleasure of the occasion. Captain
ONeal, of the Forest City, told us that
he had taken out great many picnic
parties, but never such an orderly and
well behaved one as this. That's greatly
to the credit of our little friends of the
Lutheran Sunday School.

How To LOOK YoUNG-SIxTEEN.-
Don't paint or use vile Hair Restorers,
but simply apply Hagan's Magnolia
Balm upon your face, neck and hands,
and use Lyons Katharion upon your
hair. The Balm makes your complex
ion pearly, soft and natural, and you
can't tell what did it, 1t removes
freckles, tan, sallowness, ring-marks,
moth patches, etc. and in plce of red,
rustic face, you have the marble purity
of an exquisite belle. 1t gives to mid
die age the bloom of perpetual youth.
And these effects to splendid head of
hair produced by the Kathairon and a
lady has done her best in the way of
adornment Brothers will have no
spinster sisters when these articles are
around.

STABBING AT New MARTiNSvILLE.-

seventeen years old, named Charles
Cotton, was arrested for stabbing
Squire Chaplin in the shoulder with a
butcher knife. As we are informed
Co on, though so young, is addicted to
drinking, and while suffering from the
effects Of spree, threatened to kill his
father and mother. He went so far as
to geta butcher knife, and went over to
Mr.. Chaplin's house TO sharpen it on a
grindstone While thus engaged Mrs.
Chaplin came out and spoke to him,
but he soon drove her off with threats
of cutting her throat. She sent her
husband out to the half:crazed boy

one Of this new town council, are you

lifted Mr. Chaplin sprang over the
fence to avoid him, but Cotton made q
blow at him with the knife, cutting him
severely in the shoulder. He then got
up on the roof of house and defied
the Sheriff TO arrest him. He was cap

Schanchey, his opponent So he had
him arrested and taken before the
Squire yesterday. Schanchey was held
in the sum of 800 to keep the peace for
six months. Not satisfied with tying
Patsey's hands, he also had Mrs.
Schanchey arrested. She was required
to give bonds in the sum of $50 to keep
the peace for six months. Poverty

WANTS TO MARRY.-It is not strange


that young men of full age and expert
ence to take care of themselves should
desire to commit matrimony-though
some of them would save money by
committing suicide-for there is some
thing so heavenly in having a dress pat
tern, Grecian bend and chignon that
you can call your own, that we do not
wonder at any young chaps being am.
bilious of paying healthy girls board.
But for little "tads," chaps who never
made a dollar, and who never will,
wishing to tie a knot with their tongue
that they can't unite with their teeth,
who are no more fitted to take care of q
wife than a mule is TO raise a brood Of
chickens, wishing TO assume the re
sponsibiity of husband before getting
out OF their infancy, is species OF boy
ish recklessness, not to say insanity
that should be spanked out of them.
Squire Johnston on Yesterday re
ceived the following note, which WI

TAKING THE CENsUs.-The census
takers are around, actively looking up
business. Almost any person can dis
tlnguish a census taker from another
man by the large book he carries
When you see a person with portfolio
under his arm, measuring four feet by
three, you may be sure that he is not
out collecting bills, and may enter into
conversation with him without trepida-
ton. The man to be avoided is the
party who keeps his book in his pocket
as though it feared the light. The GEN.
sus man looks formidable, but is innoc-
uous and his mission is charitable. He
finds it also easier travelling than the
collector of bills, who is probably the
most unpopular person who now PAGES

The first was the hearing of the
charge Of drunkenness of Samuel
Owens, the chap who demanded to see
our calaboose, as representative from
the Fourth Ward of Baltimore. Sammy
was perfectly satisfied with what he
saw there, but the Judge, thinking it
would be hardly fair to allow him to
depart without further insight into our
police regulations, sent him to Prof.
Noah Prices geological academy for
ten days, in default of payment of 81

Frank Sutton, the young Fifteenth

RIVER, NEws.--Reports from Fits
burgh last evening indicate the river
swelling slowly with three feet eight
inches in the channel. Here the river
is about on stand with five feet seven
inches, by the marks.
Wilson, Dunlevy IL Co on yesterday
contracted to build a stern-wheel steamer
at their yard in North Wheeling, for
Capt. j. w. Carlton, of New Orleans.
She is to be 80 feet long, 80 feet beam
and 4 feet hold. Her engines will be
built by Hamilton d Co. We have
been unable to learn their dimensions.
The new Express will make a trial
trip this evening to Moundsville and
return, taking few invited guests.
Under the guidance of Capt, John
Murine we made an examination OF
this beautiful packet, yesterday. She
is credit to our city and may be pointed
at with pride as a specimen of Wheeling
enterprise, skill and industry. Her di.
mansions we gave at the time the hull
built by our skillful boat builders,
Wilson, Dunlevy & Co., was launched.
She is of a beautiful model and sets on
the water like a duck. If she does not
prove to be swift one, then appear.
ances are very deceptive. The cabin
was built by Haines d. Wilson, and is a
very beautiful one. 1t is finished in
white and gold. The office will be
open, that is, not fenced of" by high
partition as is usual. Another noticea.
bic feature is that the bar is removed
from its customary place in front Of
the office, to a place forward of the
wheel on the starboard side OF the
boat. The painting has been done in
very artistic manner by Jones &
Brumback, Of Newport, KY. She is
well provided with staterooms, having
twenty-five on a side and twelve
id the texas, making total of fifty-six
state rooms, or sleeping accommoda.
tons for one hundred and twelve per
sons The cabin furniture is new
throughout, which, with the upholstery
is provided by Mendel d Co. The en-.
gines and machinery are from the works
OF Hobbs d Taylor They are credit
able specimens of what Wheeling can
do in the way Of engine building. The
engines are what are termed ''poppet
valve" engines, with cylinders, twenty.
four inches in diameter and six and q
half feet stroke. Her wheels are
twenty-six feet in diameter, with buck
cts eleven feet in width She is pro
vided with three large boilers giving

ties hereafter. We congratulate our
friends of the Wheeling, Parkersburg
and Cincinnati Transportation Com
pany on the splendid addition to their
new line of packets. We trust she
may prove as fortunate and profitable a
boat as her namesake and predecessor.
She will make her first trip to Parkers-

CIRCUIT CoURT.-The Court House
was jammed full of people Yesterday
morning expecting to hear the trial of
Richard McCracken for the murder Of
Frank Mount They were disap-
pointed. Mr.. Richardson, McCracken' s
counsel presented a motion for con-
tinuance of the trial on the ground that
important evidence had been discovered

of the absence of material witnesses for
the defense. The motion was argued
and the Court granted the continuance
until the first day of the next term.
John Wuston, indicted for selling
liquor to minor, plead guilty and was
