A VERY disgraceful affair took place
few days ago in East Wheeling. A
certain sewing machine agent showed
one Of his machines into the house OF a
German widow woman and after annoy
ing her all afternoon left, but before 60
ing, got her to put her name to lease
paper, which she did without knowing
its contents, as it was not read to her,
and she could not read English. She
signed the paper. The agent then took
her own machine away. which he pro,
posed taking in part pay for his. The
lady soon ascertained that her old ma.
chine was much the better Of the two,
when she went to the Office and de.
manded her machine. She was in
formed that it was no longer hers, as
their agent had traded (?) for it. 1t
was only by threatening the parties with
the law that she was enabled TO recover
her machine. The lady is an honest,
hard working woman, and earns liv-
ing in part for herself and children by
going out and washing. The affair
caused no little excitement in that
locality.

GRAND Musical OPENTNG.-Under the
auspices Of our friend w. II. Sheib, a
grand opening Of Pianos, Organs, &c,
will take place about the Goth inst, in
our city. Mr.. Sheib's reputation would
almost be sufficient attraction 10 pur-
cbasers, but an inspection OF this superb
stock and the inducements to buy upon
the easiest terms will secure rush to
the new establishment hitherto un.
known. All instruments will be sold
at manufacturers prices, saving pur'
chasers the dealers usually large CON-
missions. Seven octave large grand
scale overstrupg new rosewood pianos
will sell at $500 and upward; five oc-
tave organs at $50 and upward. With
these figures as a basis the day Of high
prices for musical instruments will be
passed, and we may look upon the new
concern as a public benefaction. Any
reader contemplating a purchase had
best wait till the Goth and see the new
stock. Look for more particulars.

POLICE CoURr.-The display Of the
followers of Old Ben Zine yesterday
was greater than has been seen for some
time, and though not one Of those who
had reached prominence in the geo.
logical way or as fusileers, appeared,
the crowd had all the elements OF
greatness in their peculiar line. All
that is needed is practice.
Hugh Boyd was arrested for charging
up and down Main street, on horseback
Monday evening. The horse, we guess
it was, was as full as a tick. In fact, we
don't think we ever saw a drunken
horse. He would wobble from side to
side, and behaved so that an inexperi'
enced person might have thought it was
Hugh who had been indulging, and we
know it was the horse, although they
fined Hugh dollar and costs for it.
Frank WEIGH was found on Franklin
street, North Wheeling, suffering from
the effects of tight boots. Frank
boots were very tight. So was his
hat. He was fined 81 and costs or ten
days.
John Harmon was found lying on
Main street, Nerth Wheeling. He had
something tight about him, too, Guess
it was in his coat 81 and costs or ten
days.
Chas Murray was found in company
with WEIGH. His socks were tight, his
cravat was tight, and he himself was in
the same condition. 81 and costs.
James Norris was found lying on
Main street, on Saturday night, in
front of Greer g. Langs. When an at
tempt was made to remove him he got
angry and tried to whip the young man
who ordered him to move on. He was
fined s. and costs for his disorderly
conduct.

]. L. HOBBS, son & co.

The great importing and manufactur-
ing house of J. L. Hobbs. Son Il Co.,
No. lis Main street and 40 Water
street, just now offers to dealers in
queensware, flint glass, PLAIN and band
China ware, and crockery and glassware
generally, attractions in the way Of a
monster stock to select from and extra
ordinary low prices for goods, not often
to be found in the west.
This establishment is one Of the
largest and most complete in the coun
try, and. in addition to ADVANTAGES
for buying imported ware enjoyed by
but few houses in the United States, can
supply flint glass or porcelain glassware
direct from the factory here.
The stock now on hand is simply
enormous. They have just received
their stock for the fall trade from Eng
lish, German and Eastern manufacto
ries, and they invite jobbers and retailers
TO examine their beautiful plain and
gold band China goods, toilet sets, sill
yer plated and Britannia ware, table cut
lery, tin chamber sets, parlor lamps,
brackets, lamp shades, lanterns of all
kinds, and steamboat and house fur.
nishing goods generally. They have
also the celebrated German student
lamp for sale at wholesale and at rates
that defy competition.
We specially invite country dealers
to examine this stock, well satisfied
that they can purchase better goods
and on better terms than at any rival
house, East or West. Here they have
all the latest styles in Queensware,
China and glass to select from, and
here, also, they can find in abundance
that new and beautiful porcelain glass,
ware now so popular and so fashionable.
We have spoken of the size Of this
establishment, and that our readers
may see that we do not exaggerate, we
may state that the store extends from
Main to Water street, having a front on
each. The lower or Water street story
is devoted exclusively to packing goods
for shipment to the int<ior Of this
State and to Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The store or show room is on Main
street and this runs back to the Water
street building. There are four stories
in front and three in the rear, all used
for storing the vast stock Of goods al
ways kept by this house.
For twenty years and upwards this
firm has enjoyed the confidence OF the
public and they are well known
throughout the State for probity and
fair dealing. We recommend the
house with confidence to our readers,
satisfied that they will have no cause
to regret dealing with John L. Hobbs,
Son & Co.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. " esterday
morning between . o'clock and day
light as near as can be determined, an
an attempt was made to obtain an en-
trance into the store of George r. Thy
lor Il Co., by burglars. The rascals
were so certain of success in their en-
terprise that they took wheelbarrow
with them to cart off the silks and laces
they intended to steal. The attempt was
made on the back door, where at least
two hours work was done with a crow
bar and a jimmy, as the marks on the
door fully testify. The door is lined
with sheet iron, and is very heavy. 1t
is fastened inside with two iron bars, an
immense lock and bolt. The power
brought to break open the lock must
have been immense, and would, we be-
lieve, have opened any..other door in the
city. The heavy door casing was prised
out fully an inch from the wall, the
lock broken, and the iron bars sprung.
Failing to obtain ingress by forcing the
door, the burglars tried to cut out a
panel. but their knives or tools coming
in contact with the iron lining Of the
door. convinced them Of the folly OF
the effort. Determined to succeed in
spite OF all obstacles, a grating over one
of the rear windows was forced up and
one ofthe party went into the cellar and
up the back stairs, expecting to find a
way in. Here, too, they found an IRON
clad door, and they seem to have given
up the job in disgust.
We know everybody will say Where
was the police?' But as the police are
required to be on duty all day, it can
not be expected they will be on all
night too. We have many times called
attention to the need of having night
force on. Four men can do all the
duty required from six or seven o'clock
in the morning until night. Then
the major portion OF the force
should go on duty and stay on all
night. Burglars rarely operate in the
day time. Let US have a night watch.
Who ever heard before of city hav-
ing a full police force on duty in the
day time and no watchmen at night ?
Had this raid on Taylor's store been
successful. enough would have been
stolen, probably, to pay the expenses Of
a night police force for six months. If
the city collects taxes for the purpose,
she is bound to afford protection.
