MING ROLLER SKATEs.-We desire to call
attention to the subject Of Roller Skat

pecuniary investment. The amusement
afforded by the invention is go fasci-
mating and the exercise so exhiliarating
that it has taken precedence of all
others, and has become so popular that
Kinks have been erected in most OF our
large cities and many small towns and
villages.
The movements Of this skate are con-
trolled by an oscillating footboard, so
that every curve and figure that can be
performed upon the ice is executed
with perfect ease and precision upon a
smooth floor.
The expense Of fitting up a hall for
skating purposes is but triflng, as moth
ing is required but smooth and solid

AN OUTRAGEOUS AssAuLr-On Satur-
day night about s o'clock. as q young
man named Greaves was walking
down Quincy street. a ruffian rushed
out of the alley near the Intelligenesr
office, and beat him in the face in an
outrageous manner, without the least
shadow of provocation. The attacking
party then ran off. Mr.. Greaves does
not know who assaulted him or why he
was attacked. The whole affair was 90
sudden that he had hardly time to re-
cover from his establishment before the
ruffian was gone.

A FINE Observation-Disclosures d
Brother are manufacturing one OF the
most complete and useful lounges, which
can be instantly converted into double
bed, that we ever saw. One of its great
advantages is that during the day,
while doing service as lounge, there is
plenty of room for all the necessary bed
clothes in the interior OF the lounge, out
of sight and out OF the way. For camp
meeting purposes nothing could be bet
ter, and we advise all who design going
to Moundsville tomorrow to see this
really useful invention.
