And scc.es Of bliss are painted there.
Oh, that thy dream might real prove,
Thy days bs crowned with Joy and love,

As peaceful as It 6rst begun.
But should bright prospects die away,
And one by ono thy hopes decay,
Remember yet there's bliss In store

Till God shall wipe of overy tear,
And thou arise In heavenly light
To shine in robes divinely bright.

POLICE CoURr.-The display before
the Police Court yesterday was fair
nothing to brag on, you know, but still
not to be complained OF.
The case of Louis Woodmansee, for
buying unweighed coal, was decided
against him, and he was fined g and
costs.
Frederick Fredericks, the defaulting
witness in the Steele case, was fined the
cost of the rule for non-attendance.
John Hervey was found in the neigh
borhood of the market house shouting
glory. 1t was benzine, not religion that
inspired him. 81 and cost was what he
paid for it.
Patrick McNally was found fully
freighted with fusil oil, tucked away
under the platform at the Baltimore
and Ohio freight depot. He was fined
81 and costs.
VIM. Steele, for committing an as,
sault on Zenas Fish, was fined $40 and
costs. We couldn't fully understand
this case. There seemed to be no
special provocation for the assault. AS
we understand it the Steele went into
Fish on general principles.

SrEINwAY Il SoNs' Grand, Square and
Upright pianos were awarded the first
grand gold medal at the worlds fair,
Paris, 1867, and London, 1862. The
Steinway Pianos are universally con-
coded to be the leading first class piano
now before the public. These instru'
ments are preferred to all others by the
most celebrated pianists. They are
used by all the principal concert troupes
whenever attainable. They have a
truly "world-widere" putation, being
largely exported to Europe and all parts
of the civilized world, and they are
sought to be initiated by nearly all
American and European piano makers.

and extensive establishment Of its kind
in the world, the published official rev.
enue returns having revealed the fact
that 1.-The amount OF their yearly sales
exceeds those of the twelve largest piano
makers in New York combined"
Steinway & Sons call special atten'
ton to their new patent Upright
Pianos, with double iron frame, Patent
Resonator and Tubular Frame action,
which are matchless in volume and
quality OF tone, and surprising facility
OF action, while standing longer in
tune and being more impervious to at

RECOVERED THE CosT OF BoARD.-For
some time the county had supported at
the Wheeling Hospital, as pauper, a
woman named Mary Gilmartin. On
her death, which occurred some two or
three months ago, it was found that she
was in possession Of some $500, which
she willed to her church. The Prose
cutting attorney was directed to recover
from her estate the sum Of $l46 paid
by the county for her support. This
sum has been recovered and paid into
the county treasury.

SOLD AGAIN. One Of the neatest sells
we have known OF for some time, has
been played by several boys, on Nam
street, for the past two nights. The
young rascals got about thirty feet OF
rubber hose and hid it under boards
from Heunegen & Cos door to the Gel
lar window of the Dollar Store. Hid
in the darkness Of the entrance Of Hen
negen & Co.'S store, they would yell in
heartrending tones, through the India
rubber tube, LET me out! Let me out!
Oh, for Gods sake, let me out! The
sound, To the causual observer, seemed
to come from the cellar of the Dollar
Store, and the cries attracted the atten-
ton of every passer-by. On Monday
night a party of gentlemen who were
looking in the window Of the Dollar
Store, heard the cries and at once had
their sympathies moved. Procuring a
light they gallantly rushed to the rescue
OF the imprisoned boy, as they thought
it to be, and to search for him in the
cellar. No sooner had they opened the
cellar door and made preparations to
descend than the annoying shout, "Sold!
SoldW and roars of laughter greeted
them.
A lady was passing by the place, and
her attention being attracted by the
cries, she stopped for second when she
heard the words, Catch her legs! She
didn't stop to hear anything else. Fear
lent her wings and she fairly flew up
Main street, satisfied that the place was
haunted.
The boys kept up their game until
thew were tired out, and many funny
story they told yesterday of their very
clever cell.

ALARM OF FIRE.-The alarm of fire
about ten o'clock last night was occa.

least we could find no other reason for
it after trotting, like second Dexter,
all over the city. One chap informed
us that it was caused by some boys set
ting fire to pile Of shavings in the
Fourth ward. Another said it was
caused by boys burning red fire on Main
street. We stick to our first belief,
that it was the bell ringing that caused
the alarm. ....

MARRIAGE LICENSES FOR OCTOBER

twenty marriage licenses issued by Re

the above it will be seen that during

licenses were issued than during any o.
