A Pns1suAnIE orrrSsr.-Maliciously

APUNIsHABLE OFFESsE.-Maliciously
inclined persons still continue to tear
down and deface bills, posters, DC, in
this city. Complaints are loud and
deep among parties putting them up
that they are scarcely in position before
vandals destroy their efficiency by
mutilating them in some way or other
The perpetrators Of this work are gener-
ally boys, who count it as one OF their
numerous amusements. Such should
know that there is a law in existence
making this mischief punishable
offense, rendering them liable to either
a fine or imprisonment, or both' at the
discretion of the court. When bill
boards are put up and owned by com
pany for purposes Of advertising it has
the exclusive right Of tearing down the
advertisements 1t is time this truth
were recognized in Wheeling. A few
prosecutions would work wonders.

FIRE on THE 1sLAND.-An alarm was
sounded from the Second Ward market
house yesterday afternoon, about two
o'clock, indicating fire on the Island.
On our arrival we found the residence
Of Henry Seamon, near the west end OF
the suspension bridge, and the two adj
joining houses, owned by DR.. Hildreth
and occupied by Mrs Catherine Miller
and Mrs. Hane, in flames. The fire
broke out about halt-past one o'clock,
and had been burning some time before
the alarm was communicated to the
fire department.
The fire originated in the kitchen, in
the rear of Mr.. Seamon's residence.
The stove-pipe passed up into short
chimney resting on the joists near the
roof of the kitchen, and here the blaze
started 1t soon climbed up to the roof
where it could not be got at until holes
had burned or been broken through
for the lath had been nailed on to the
rafters and then plastered. Between
the lath and the root then, the flames
crept until they reached the adjoining
building, the roof Of which was COM
pletely destroyed
The property of Mr.. Seamon is in
sured, we are informed, for $500, and
that OF DR.. Hildreth for $1,000. We
can hardly make an estimate Of the
actual loss, for Mr.. Seamou had dur
ing the past fall entirely reftted, repair
ed and repainted his residence, but we
should think that $1,000 would cover it.
The usual $4,000 chief engineers
were on hand, and, Of course, each had
a certain and sure plan by which the
fire could be instantly extinguished.
We may remark, in a quiet way, that
no two of the plans were alike. The
fire was extremely difficult to manage
and was extinguished with only the loss
of the roofs of the buildings.
