IMAIRNsE SUCCEss.-General Tom
Thumb and his Lilliputian wife, Miss
Minnie Warren and Commodore Mutt
gave two exhibitions in Washington Hall
yesterday afternoon and last evening. On
the first occasion the hall was entirely
occupied, in every part an hour in ad-
vance Of the appearance OF the little peo-
plei and we believe we do not exsggerate
when we say that hundredb had to be
turned away because there was no room
for them within. From the st. James
Hotel up Monroe Street the pave
ments on both sides Of the route were
crowded with persons waiting 10 see the
renowned troupe pass from their rooms to
the door Of the hall. They finally made
their appearance in the tinlest Landau
ever seen on our streets, drawnby q span
of the smallest ponies which were driven
by a Jehu oidiminutive proportions. In
the evening the hall was again crowded.
The curiosity to see the General and his
petite companions appears to be never sat-
isded. And this desireis not confined TO
persons of their proportions or less, only;
even adults Of both sexes are as eager ap-
parently 10 get seats wherever they ex-
hibit as those Of tender years.

NEW RAIIRoAD.-We hear that at 9
meeting OF the Directors oil the Wheeling
Pittsburgh & Baltimore railroad com
pany, held at Washington, Pa, last Mon
day, II was decided to build a road t.
the ConnellsVille line ViG MonongahelG
city, on the old route selected and par
italy constructed for the Hempfeld. The
new road is TO be known as the Ohio &
Baltimore short line, as we are informed
Il we are not mistaken, this viii give
Washington two outlets to the Councils
vile road-one as above specified; the
other, Via Bellevernon. We presume the
Monongahels city road is built to comply
with the terms of the Hempfield charter
in part. In what way the requirement t
build road from Greensburg 10 the
point Of intersection with the Connells-
vile road Zen route to the Virginia, now
West Virginia State line, as the Original
charter provided) viii be met, remains to
be seen. 1t Is pretty certain, however
that one il not two roads will be bull
eastward from Washington, as soon aE
men and money can accomplish the
work.

Stock ALL TAKRN.-As we anticipated
would be the case the capital stock Of the
Wheeling Steel Works was very quickly
subscribed. The sum determined upon
by the corporators to build the works
and leave a moderate working capital,
was taken in day or two after the books
were opened. We hear that numbers who
supposed the opportunity to subscribe
would be offered until the Goth, as an.
nounced in the advertisement, were very
much disappointed, when informed on
presenting themselves, that they were toe
late-the maximum amount asked for al
present having been secured. The stock.
holders are. to meet in the office Of the
German Insurance Company, over the
German Bank on Market street, at z
O'Clock next Tuesday evening to elect
officers, and TO make arrangements fol
the early beginning and vigorous prose-
cution Of the work Of building the neces.
sary furnaces, &C.

The RIvER-The fright about a flood
has passed and our people who dwell ID
the less elevated portions of the city
breathe freely once more. Tho tele.
grams from Pittsburgh and points up
the Monongahels, received Monday
created no little excitement, and we heard
Of one or two parties who, having an eye
to business, had about concluded arrange,
ments for "a corner" in the species o.
water craft denominated skifs, dug.outs
SC, when the intelligence that the rise
was only from the river named, came tc
hand and spoiled all their calculations
The river rose steadily all day yesterday
and about four O'Clock In the afternoon
the marks indicated twenty-five feet six
inches in the channel. II was thought by
those who have observed such matters fol
wears that the maximum would be reach
ed BY 10 o'clock last night, and that II
would be something less than thirty feet
The wharf presented some such appear
ance yesterday as it used to in days Of
yore. The Andes discharged an immense
cargo oil mixed freight on the landing
enough TO cover that portion Of the wharf
not submerged-and drayG, wagons and
almost every variety Of vehicle for heavy
drafting were going and coming constant.
ly. The continued rising OF the river had
something to do no doubt with the anx.
iety to remove freight, and We presume By
evening but little else could be seen in
that locality but the bare cobble stones.

Bio TRIP.-Thc Andes arrived at the
wharf yesterday morning about 6 o'clock
with q large freight list for our mer.
chants. Capt. Muhleman informed US
that as far as Parkersburg coming up, the
guards of the Andes were flat on the
water. At that point, a large amount Of
freight was discharged. Besides the
through business that transacted at way
points was unusually heavy, so that, 1t IS
extremely doubtful If any boat within
the past year, has had as large a trip on
the upper Ohio, as the last one OF the
Andes from Cincinnati here. She was
promptly unloaded, and alter taking on
board quite heavy cargo OF nails, &C.,
left on her return trip last evening,

A Man Who Never Fills Out His Term.

The Chicago Evening journal relates
The following Of the present Governor of
Illinois: "No sooner did Gen. John l..
Beverage return from the war, in which
he was gallant cavalry officer, than he
was nominated for Sheriff Of this county,
and elected. Before lis term as Sheriff
had expired, he was elected State Senator.
Before his office Of Senator expired, he was
nominated and elected Congressman for
the State at large, to fill the vacancy
caused by General Logan's resignation.
last Fall, before his term of Congressman
had expired, he was nominated and elect
ed Lieutenant Governor, which position he
entered upon two weeks ago and now,
Gov. Oglesby having resigned, Gen. Bev-
eridge becomes Governor of the State.
Verify he is one Of the luckiest men, poll
tically, in the United States
