TAI.-A party Of festive young Wheeling
gentlemen ambled out into Ohio about
dozen miles, on Sunday, in search Of
health, recreation, etc. The weather was
very fine, the air was exhilarating; all ma.
ture was refreshed and SO likewise was
the Wheeling party. How it happened,
or where, we have no information; but
during the Silly. hours of the Sabbath
day,-at what particular hour our inform.
ant did not know-the aforesaid party,
feeling like young giants refreshed with
spring water, armed themselves with
willow switches and dashed into the town.
Alter the CONSERVATION had subsid-
ed, Mayor WEST rallied his myrmi-
dons and captured the raiders. They
were arraigned before His Honor and
fined tothe tune Of $9s and some, cents.
This demand was promptly honored by
one OF the party who presented a 500
BILL and as the whole town could not raise
the requisite 500 change, 1t became neces.

St Clatrsville authorities should provide
themselves with little change for such
emergencies, as it docs not look well to
