PENIrgNrIARY SrABBISG ARRAY
Christmas day was made an opportunity
for a number Of convicts at the Peni'
Tertiary, according to their saying, to
satisfy an old grudge against certain
one OF their number named Draper.
Having Intentionally picked a quarrel,
the said Draper was stabbed near the
heart. and it was thought that the
wound would prove fatal. In the sfiray
another of the party was cut horribly
on the arm with some sharp instrument,
bearing a large flesh wound exposing
the bone. Disturbances OF this kind
are Of rare occurrence among the con-
victs, and this instance accidentally
occurred during the leisure time allowed
to all in and about the building during
the observance of Christmas day

TERMINATING THE HAIR.-When tue
hair ceases to draw from the scalp the
natural lubricant which is its susten-
ance, its vitality is, as it were, suspend
ed, and if not promptly attended to, bald
ness will be the certain result. The one
sure method of avoiding such an un.
pleasant catastrophe is to use Lyons
Kathairon, which, when we'll rubbed
into the scalp, will speedily re.animate
the hair and prevent it from falling out.
Besides that, this inimitable resuscitant
and strengthened OF the Hair nourishes
and stimulates it's young and tender
fbres, removes all obstacles to their
growth in the shape OF dandruf and
dirt, and ultimately produces new
crop Of hair, stronger, glossier, and twice
as abundant as the old. AS q hair
dressing it is notably the most agree
able, refreshing and serviceable article
ever placed upon dressing-table.

WORK CoMMENcED.-The committee
appointed by the City Council to select
a site for and build a smallpox hospital,
have located the hospital in East
Wheeling, at a point about three
hundred yards north of the Hempfeld
railroad shops, and the work Of erect
ing the building has been commenced
by Ed. Cla.or, the contractor. The
work will be pushed to completion with
every possible dispatch, and be made
ready for patients as soon thereafter as
possible. We suppose it is pretty
generally understood. now, that every
one taking the smallpox is not obliged
to 60 there, but it will offer a refuge for
those who have no other home or place
Of shelter when attacked with this
loathsome disease.

The disasters to coal boats and barges
Yesterday was quite numerous. At q
early hour yesterday morning the
steamer A. J. Baker sunk boat OF
coal an the upper bar at Brunots
island; shortly after the Arrow, with a
tow of coal, sunk boat of nut coal at
the same place. The following acct
dents all occurred in the same neighbor-
hood: The Fred Wilson sunk two
boats of coal-one aground; the Coal
City sunk two barges; the George also
sunk two barges; the Coal Bluff sunk
two boats. The John Dippold stuck
seven boats OF coal a little to the left
of the point, at which the Bakers boat
sank; they are in good shape, and will
float off as soon as the river swells
The Hornet sunk a barge OF coal at
Lowry's. Last night coal boat belong
ing to Rogers & Wallace, in tow OF
the stsamer Barnhill. was run into by
the Keystone, and so badly damaged
that it soon afterwards sunk. A boat
of coal belonging TO F. II. Coursin,
OF McKeesport, sank last night near
Redman's saw mill about four miles
abovs the city. Another boat belong
ing to Mr.. c., at the same place, was
in a sinking condition. The aggregate
loss of coal by sinking of boats and
barges amounts to about 22O,OOO
bushels, valued, together with the
packages lost, at something like
$4,000, upon which there is not one
cent of insurance.

RIGHT AND WRoNG-Over.ohslnisg
IIiumph.-Among the many distin.
gushing features Of this grand allegory
and spectacular representation, now
being performed at Washington Hall,
there is none 80 prominent as its great
moral effect. The absence Of anything
calculated to offend the most refined
ear, is another commentator which
we cannot too highly praise. The custom
OF introducing doubtful language, and
permitting performers to use vulgar
gestures, has % fastened itself upon the
drama that many persons regard dra'
NAUTICAL representations as vice, and
consequently avoid them.
The aim of this play being 10 defeat
vice, most deadly blows are dealt at its
chief cause, and the example Of the
good is presented for our admiration
No play has been more successful in
Wheeling, nor has any given more
satisfaction. Its triumph is complete
and in future will commend itself to
every lover OF a good moral drama.
We are grad Mr.. Clifton has arranged
for a grand matinee for this afternoon
Every child should not only witness
this play, but the lesson presented
should be deeply impressed upon the
minds OF those in charge OF children.
Mr.. Clifton, too, has been exceedingly
happy in casting this play. Mcdowell
as the victim, Andrews as his Satanic
majesty, the inimitable Bernard as
Teddy, the amusing Anderson as Hans
the lovely Miss S. as Biddy, the elegant
Miss R. as Laura, and last though not
least, Queenly Mrs. S. L., 90 to make
up a combination rarely secured among
amateur performers.

The COMING CoMEr.-Enckes comet
is now on its way towards the perchelion,
which it will reach during the present
month. The comet will be telescope
ally visible some time previously,
but is not an object Of special interest
to those whose vision is unaided by
Instruments. Astronomers will soon
begin to point their telescopes to the
neiehborhood where the comet will be
first seen. 1t has very short period
only three years and a quarter. The
least distance from the sun is thirty-two
millions OF miles, or about the average
distance of Mercury. The greatest
distance is three hundred and eighty
seven millions of miles, or more than
four times that of the earth. This
comet is principally of interest because
its period of revolution has diminished
to the extent OF about three days IN the
past eighty years, a fact which is
generally accepted as furnishing the
best proof Of the theory that the regions
of space are filled with a material
"ether" capable of retarding the motion
of the bodies composing the solar
system. OF course this resisting medium
would produce annual effects upon the
comet OF few tons in weight, that
would not be experienced by our earth
in the course of thousands Of ages. But
the result, though long deferred, is none
the lees inevitable-earth, planets and
comets will all be eventually pre-.
cpitated into the sun.

In Marshall County, Tennessee, there will soou
Dc trial for murder, which will possess some
angular features. Three years ago young man
N Marshall County WAS engaged to be married
to young lady, whose family strongly objected
to the union. The lover ran Off with his intend
ed twice, but was so closely watched and hotly
pursued BY the 1ady's friends that it was 1rnpoa-
slble q for the wedding to take place. He made q
third attempt when he met the girl at an ap-
pointed place, and took her on horse behind

make them one, when two men sprang up at the
roadside, and called upon them to stop. The
several shots we're sent after him. He rode On
{! Little way and fell from the horse, DRAGGING
the girl with him. The assaasins came uD
and commenced beating the wounded man
numerically, he begging them to desist as
the shot he had received would soon finish him,
Ihe murdererB proved to be the girls brothers
and they tried to force her to get on her lovers
horse and 60 home with them. This sherafugad
to do, even by the persuasion Of q severe beatinq
which they gave her: They then left the two
helpless IN the road, went home and told their
mother they had "tixed" that fellow, and LETT

#ounded lover got to the house OF one Of her
3rlands: where they we're married, and In few
hours the husband breathed his last, The assas-
suns we're shortly after arrested, and before the
escaped to Texas. They were lately resrrested
and brought back to Marshall County. TheY
will be tried in 3 short time. The wife of ths
murdered man, their own sister, expresses de-
