A GLORIOUS REcoRD.-Twelve years
ago few modest lines in New York
journal invited public attention to
new Vegetable Restorative, and solicit
ed trial Of its merits as remedy for
Indigestion, biliousness, fever and ague,
debility, nervous disorders, rheumatism,
and all complaints requiring invigor-
ating and regulating treatment. In
this quiet, unpretentious way, PLANTA-
TON BlrrERs was introduced 10 the
world 1t was a success from the be-
ginning. All that was claimed for it
as a tonic, a corrective and antidote TO
malarious fever, was found to be strictly
true. Within five years the annual
sales Of this article amounted to over
One Million Of Bottles. A few years
more and the demand had swelled to
fee millions. The annual consumption
of the bitters has now reached the
almost incredible aggregate OF SIX MIL
LIONS OF BOTTLES, and for every bottle
sold copy Of the ILLUSTRATED MEDI-
CAL ANNUAL, published by the proprie-
tors, at cost Of $150,000, is given away.

BURGLARS ABour.-The office window
Of the South Wheeling Glass Works Of
Hobbs, Brockuuier & Co., was forced
open by burglars, on Sunday night, and
through it the rascals obtained an
entrance. The objective point was the
safe, which was supposed TO contain an
unlimited amount of greenbacks. The
safe has patent combination lock, and
the burglars must have worried with it
for long time, but without effect.
Had they been able to effect an entrance
to the safe, they would have found but
two or three dollars in change. Our
business men are not in the habit OF
trusting large sums Of money in their
safes. II usually goes into bank.

ANOTHER SCARE OS.-The Charleston

ANOTHER SCARE ON.-The Charleston
people are about as ready to scare as
Sut Lovipgood was, and his legs were
always ready for a run If his eyes saw
anything to frigbten at. When it was
proposed to adjourn the Constitutional
Convention to Wheeling, they got scared
and straightway started the most
wonderful reports about the prevalence
OF smallpox in this city. putting the
dead and dying at about the hundred

pox themselves and another scare IS the
result. Well, if they have the small
pox down there they are surely 10 lie

And then with look SO 1ull OF gulle,

thunder, and the doctor says they
mustn't touch it, though they would

POLICE CoURT.-Two PLAIN DRINKS
made up the sum Of the Police Court,
though there was also continued case
to be heard.
Charley Morris. noted moke, it will
be remembered, was charged by a lady
of color with disorderly conduct at her
chateau, on the hill, some time last fall.
Charley, who is as keen as e fox, and
has been under arrest 60 many times
that he knows.allthe quirks, quips and
qualities OF the law, asked to have the
case continued TO give him an opportu-
nifty to get an important witness, know
ing that he would not be required to
give bail for his appearance, and that
be would be at libertyIfrom Saturday to
Monday, anyhow. When his name
was called Yesterday it was ascertained
that the gentle Charles had skipped
lit out, absquatulated and was for the
first time in his life non estyoung man
of African descent. A fine OF - and
costs was assessed against him, and if
ever he returns TO Wheeling he will
have the bill to pay.
Joseph Leader lisa wheel horse at
getting away with load Of fusil oil.
He was found, on Saturday last, laid
out on O bench in the Second ward
market house too drunk for any earthly
use. He was fined 81 and costs. Being
devoid OF ducats, the chaingagisis have
chance to play follow Your Leader
for the next ten days.
George Schnapps got too much
schnapps on Saturday. lie was found
in the Eighth ward, full to the muzzle,
and with quart bottle full Of benzlne
in his pocket. hardly able to walk. He
was fined 81 and costs, and having no
lucre, the Judge ordered that the chain
, gang be supplied with Schnapps for the
next ten DAYS.

APRIL Fools. - April fool jokes

man was stopped suddenly TO arrange
chairs that he was told were in danger
of falling, or to pick up part OF the
load that he learned had fallen, only
to swear as he heard the fatal april
fool" ringing in his ears. People were
cent in search Of people who didn't
want to see them. Many q family
sweetened their tea or coffee with salt
instead of sugar, while it was no IN
common thing to hear some citizen
swear because he couldn't get the cot
ton batting out Of his teeth o; which
his favorite doughnuts had been built.
1t was day OF harmless fun. Long
may its kind be with us all.

astonishing. Several Of their cures
amount almost to miracle. We pub

Weiss, one OF our citizens, vino had

consumption, the Doctors expelled a
monster tape worm some forty.fve feet
in length, and we are informed that the
gentleman is greatly improved in
health. In this days issue we publish
another card, certifying to strange
phenomenon OF the expulsion OF anoth-
er monster twenty feet in length from
little girl only three years old, a
daughter Of Mr. Henry Noellinger, OF
this city. We are told the Doctors do
not make q speciality OF treating tape
worm cases, but that they are treating
all other diseases with the same sue
cess. They have made many remarka-
BILE cures in this city, and many others
have received great benefit from their
treatment.

comfortable last night. Sleeping on
the floor and eating off OF chest is not
calculated to make one more comfort
able than when living and enjoying life
in the regular way. All the afternoon
