BELOW FREEzo.-Night before last
was intensely cold and the style OF
thing then INDUCED in was kept up yes
terday to the discomfort Of pedestrians
and the damage OF coal piles. At seven
o'clock yesterday morning the thermo-
meter marked ten degrees below zero
at nine o'clock eight below and at noon
two above. We have already had
occasion to remark that il the clerk OF
the weather thinks he is forcing the
mercury below freezo to oblige us, he
may as we'll stop. We desire no more
experience below zero, We can endure
good health with the thermometer
marking seventy above, and il our
wishes were consulted the mercury
would never get below thirty.

DENIED.-The principals Of the dit-
ferent city schools attended the meet
ing OF the Board OF Education and
denied, each for himself, the statement
made by the Intsllgener that the
children attending the public schools
are obliged to remain out OF the school
buildings on cold or Indictment days
until nine o'clock. The children have
been always able to get into the schools,
they say, at quarter before nine o'clock
especially il the day be stormy or cold.
Some children, even on yesterday morn
ing, got to the school building before
eight o'clock, when there are no teach.
ers present to look after them. These
Of course cannot get in. After the
ringing ofthe first bell, alta quarter to
nine o'clock, all children are admitted
to the school houses.

Rr,rrr AND ELEaANcR.-Now is the

BrAurr AND ELEakNcB.-Now is the
winter made glorious by the near ap-
proach Of the holidays, and every young
heart is light and happy in anticipation
of some token of remembrance from a
father, brother, mother or sister, or per-
haps from one still more dear. Every
benevolent impulse of human nature is
intensified, and the question which most
forcibly presents itself is, What shall
I select for q Christmas present, and
where shall find it9' The question
is not . difficult one to solve, as it only
requires q visit to Oxtoby q Dufields
Jewelry Store, lO4 Market street, below
Mcclure House, TO furnish a solution
as there all can have their wants sup
piled. They have taken special pains
this season to select stock that would
meet the wants of a Wheeling public,
and an inspection of their goods will
satisfy the most exactiag connoisseul
that their efforts have been successful
The stock embraces Jewelry Of al
kinds and styles and Of elegant designs
besides Gold and Silver Watches
Chains, Ncckjrces, Caa'n:, " Us
Rings, Gold and Silver Head! Canes
Gold and Silver Spectacles, bracelets
&c, &c. Call at Oxtoby d Duffields,
Their stock OF goods is unsurpassed il
variety and quality, and the prices can
not fail to please purchasers.

CHRISTMAS FEsrGvAL.-The efficient
Mission school of the English Lutheran
Church advertises its usual Christmas
anniversary in our paper this morning.
From the preparations which have
been making for the past two months,
the jubilee of Monday night will be one
of decided merit. The school has been
in training by Mr.. Hersey Head, OF
Massachusetts, who took part in the
great Boston Peace Jubilee, and the
music will therefore be OF high order.
A concert exercise by an efficient Sun
day school worker Of Philadelphia, and
a beautiful shepherd conversation by
Prof. Miller, of Illinois, will form main
features Of the choice programme. OF
course the hall, as usual, on these oc'
casions will be crowded.

STOLEN CLorHING.-A man named
Riley was arrested by Constable Ed.
Clstor, Of East Wheeling, Yesterday for
having stolen goods in his possession
A pair OF shoes he had were identified
as belonging to Orloff Miller. There
are pair of blue pants, plaid wooden
shirt, a coat and some other articles Of
wardrobe which Riley acknowledges
to have stolen, but it is not known Of
whom. Persons who have lost any.

Police CoURT.-Our theory in regard
10 the weather having an effect on
galoots, benzinists and fusileers, to keep
them sober when it is cold is now ad'
vanced into an exact science. Because
of the extreme cold Of night before last
and OF Wednesday, the calaboose was
without an occupant yesterday morning
and the docket is blank as the life OF
an idiot. With the thermometer below
zero our drnkists avoid the streets and
consequent arrest.

BuRsr.-About half tn e hydrants in
the city were burst by the extreme cold
Of Wednesday night and many persons
got up yesterday morning astonished to
find frst class skating Kinks in their
wards and alleys. We hear that some
Of the main pipes in Centre Wheeling
were burst BY the cold. Every hydrant
in the Eighth ward, without an eIcep.
ton, refused to issue water yesterday,
though We suppose this comes more
from the fact that they have no con-
nectin yet with the water works, than
because Of the cold weather.

FIRE.-Yesterday about IL o'clock
the roofof the colored school house, on
the hill above Monroe street, took fire
from the flue, and was so badly burned
before it was eztinguished that no more
school can be held there until it is re-
paired. Because Of our present effect

one knew anything about it until the
flames were extinguisbed.
