TIE ENTERTAINMENT AND BALL
The entertainment and ball given at
Turner Hall on Wednesday. night, by
the Wheeling Maennerchor, was one Of
the most successful ever given in the
hall. The large auditorium was crowd
ed almost to suffocatlon, and during the
theatrical entertainment it was impos.
sible to secure seat. The play was
well rendered, every character being
we'll and satisfactorily given. We con-

A PLEASANT SURPRISE Last eve
ming after the installation of the officers
of Virginius Lodge No. 2, |. 0. o. F.
very pleasant surprise WAS given our
old friend P. G. William Gerard, who
was presented with magnificent gold
headed cane by his brethren of Virginus
Lodge. TIE presentation speech was
made by Rev. DR.. Westwood, who so
adroitly managed his remarks that the
venerable recipient had no idea OF what
was coming until his hand grasped the
cane. His surprise was complete and
his emotion at receiving so beautiful and
valuable testimonial OF regard from
those around him, was genuine. The
cane was furnished bye. P. Brown, and
is inscribed Presented to William
Gerard, from Virginius Lodge No.
January ., 1873" May it long prove
a support TO him as he walks down the
hill OF lie.

New YEARS DAY.-The first day OF
the New Year was very generally OBJ
served by our citizens. A good many
ofthe young men paid the usual New
Years calls with persey france worthy
q better cause. A good many, too,
didn't call anywhere but on the keepers
of the different saloons for egg nog.
Some OF these, as well as with some OF
the other callers, got the epzoot or
some other mplaint that give an un-
steadiness to their walk and thickness
to their speach and made their wis
yehappenewyear" almost unintelligible'
People seemed to enjoy themselves,
though. after their own fashion and
seemed to be enjoying, indeed, a Happy
New Year.

The Coal Question.

Editors OF the Register:
We wish to cay few words in your
columns in regard to the high price now
being charged for ceal. That twelve
cents per bushel is charged for clean
and ten cents for nut coal is not the
fault of the diggers. They have re-
ceived thu. far no more for digging than
they did when the public paid the old
prices. We now demand an increase OF
one-half cent a bushel. Mr.. Werner
and Mr.. Godfrey have agreed to pay
this increase on and after Monday next.
This will give us four cents per bushel
for digging. The public can see that
the fault is not with the miners that
the prices have advanced, for in fact,
from the manner in which the wagons
are filled, we will not, actually, receive
over three cents per bushel even when
the advance we demand has been &C
ceded to. T. M.

HEAVY RAIN.-About six clock last
evening the windows OF heaven were
opened and the rain came down at a
terrible rate, flooding streets and side
walks. Jupiter Pluvins, how it did
come down. The knowledge of a heavy
swell in the river above and the fear
that this rain has been pretty general,
is causing considerable anxiety to
steamboat owners, and sharp watch
was kept for the first indications Of a
movement OF the ice. 1t is very thick,
and when it moves will be apt to tear
things.

annually, and there are a great many who
think Themselves economical because thov
manage to dress upon $4,000 10 $1,000 n
year. Few things can DC more thorough
waste than this, which must spring other
from reckless prodigali'y or from wretch
ed vanity to be respIeudent in clothes. Ii
speaks I'LL for the taste of women who can
not look both attractive aud elegant on
$1,000 than those who spend ten times
that amount.
After all, it il the woman who becomes
the clothes, md not the clothes that be
