TILL TAPPING.-Two or three times
last week and once yesterday the money
drawer Of Mr.. Morrison's confectionery
on Main street, near Canadians shoe
store, Centre Wheeling, has been tapped
and though a pretty close watch was
kept, the thief was not discovered. Yes.
terday morning the drawer was most
effectually cleaned out. Anticipating a
second visit from the operator, whoever
it might be, one Of the persons in charge
of the store was concealed behind the
counter. About three o'clock in the
afternoon a boy nine or ten years old
named Owen McNally, sneaked in be-
hind the counter, opened the drawer
and was relieving it of its contents,
when he was captured. He confessed
to having taken the money out Of it
once or twice before. The young rascal
was taken before Squire Johnston, who
committed him TO jail for an examina.
ton this morning, Who says we do
not need a House Of Refuge?

A SYNONYM OF EXCELLENCE.-"What
can our feeble pen add to the reputation
of the Steinways? Their music has
become a household word. Their
Pianos are to be found in every city, in
every State, and well nigh in every
county. To them, more than to any
other firm, is American art indebted for
it's reputation abroad. The Steinway
Piano is now a synonym for all that is
desirable and durable in the art, and as
such it ought to occupy pre-eminence in
thesuinds Of purchasers" So saws one
OF our Eastern exchanges. We can say
that the Steinways have pre-eminence
in the minds of our citizens, to judge
by the numbers that are sold by our
enterprising music dealer, V. Harding
No. 100 Market street, who always
keeps fine stock of those choice in
struments.

CoRNEY Orr, the man who has been
engaged during several years past
stealing horses in Washington county,
Pennsylvanialand West Virginia, was
arrested at williamsburg, this county, on
the oath inst, by Messrs. Watson and
Slusher. After his arrest he was taken
to the house OF Mr.. Faraubaugh; while
there he requested permission to 60 to
the water closet; remaining there q
considerable length Of time one Of the
officers went in and discovered that Orr
had cut his throat with pen knife and
blood was flowing very freely from the
wounds. He was taken back to the
house and his throat bandaged, after
which the officers left with him for
Wheeling. Our readers will remember
that Orr was arrested at Williamsburg

ing, committed to jail and released by

END OF THE GOAT CASE
MIR. Yoke to Pay the Costs.
The Goat Costs About $500.

Yesterday the celebrated goat case,
Yoke against Wharton, was decided
by verdict, rendered by a majority OF
eleven jurors, as agreed upon between
the parties, in favor of Mr.. Wharton,
thus throwing Mr.. Yoke into the costs
of the four or five suits which have
grown out of the case, amounting to
something over s400, exclusive of the
lawyers fees. .
Tie !.i,tory Of the case is as follows,
and forms a very interesting addition
to the many lessons given OF what a
costly luxury the law is.
In 1869, if we are not mistaken,
Adolph Yoke owned goat that was
somewhat FESTIVE in its nature and was
fond of visiting. One Of its favorlte
places of resort was a field of wheat,
rye or something belonging to Silas
Wharton. Finding the goat in his en-
closure Mr.. Wharton told Mr.. Yoke
that he must keep his goat at home, or
it would lay down its life and its cares
very suddenly some day. Mr.. Yoke
didn't shut up the goat and MIR.
Wharton shot it. Mr.. Yoke brought
suit to recover the value Of the goat
before q justice. Something was wrong
about it and it had to be tried
over again. After the second trial
before the justice the goat was carried
to the Circuit Court, where it has been
hanging by the horns ever since. When
the case first got into the court above,
judgment was given for Mr.. Wharton,
if our memory serves us right, and suit
was then brought by Mr.. Yoke for
the costs expended in this behalf. This
case has hung on every term since
until the costs have reached a sum
sufficient to buy as many goats as
Jacob had after he played it on Laban
so.
The goat finally got to be bore,
and it was determined that it should
end at this term. To this end it was
agreed that the case should be tried by
jury ofeleven men and that majority
of them should find a verdict. The
case was given to them yesterday, and
they brought in a verdict in favor of
Wharton, throwing Yoke in for the
costs. The jury stood six for Wharton
and five for Yoke. Thus ends the
celebrated goat case.

the tenors accompanying the Pittsburgh
Club. Mr.. w. Digby, Jr., is one of the
oldest as well as the best teuors in the
city, and has long been connected with
the music OF the city. Mr.. S. Stuart
Colv;lle is young tenor, but already
has command Of voice that may be
envied by those who make far more
pretensions. We could 60 on and say
much more for the different members,
but enough has already been said to
insure the citizens and public that they
will enjoy a pleasant evening at Wash
ington Hall. The Misses Colville and
Hughes, the soprano and alto. are
equally good. Messrs. Roe and James
Digby, the basso and baritone, also
enjoy high reputation for their re-
spective parts. Secure your seats. as
early as possible at Sheib's music store
for the concert at Washington Hall

come back to the city again. He was

parent intention Of going to bed ther e.

and costs.
After Hoffman was put out of the
shipyard he went to the house of Mr..
Adler, and when William and James
Adler came home from their work they
found him lying in front OF their door
on the sidewalk. They attempted to
get him to 60 away. He resisted, and
a fuss grew out Of it. The Aders were
arrested and taken before Judge Good
yesterday morning. The charge against
James Adler was dismissed. William
Adler was fined 81 and cos:s.
