THE Waynesburg Republican Of last

a little check the past week. The east
ern market has receded slightly-hence
our country buyers are compelled tc
lower their figures. and this makes lul
in the trade at home. DIR. John Wood

was the very highest price that he could
now pay.

REV. J. MCKENDREE REILEY, Of
Wheeling, delivered n powerful anti
license speech in the Court House, on
Tuesday evening The address abounded
in imprisoned bursts of eloquenre, which
ryeted the attention Of the audience for
over an hour.
LAST Sunday night, burglsrious en-
tries were made into the residences OF
VIM. Reed and Daniel Merrill, Of Barnes
vile. Squire Reed surprising that no one
would modest his house, was in the habit
of leaving the front door unlocked,
through which it is supposed the burg
lars entered. They marched into the
sleeping apartment of the Squire, and
quietly stole away with Sl5 in money
and valuable silver watch. Mr.. Mer-
rill lost good silver watch. 1t is sup
posed that these depredations were conn
United by gang of fellows, who have
recently been preying on the farmers of
Noble and Monroe.

LoTs FOR SALE.-We call attention to
an advertisement in another column, of
the sale of lots on Wheeling Island by
Col. Thomas O'Brien, Real Estate Agent,
the property of Mr. Theodore Fink. For
building purposes they cannot be sur
passed, being on high ground and favor
ably located. To those who have money
to invest this will be favorable oppor-
tunity, as there is no doubt the lots will
double in valuation in few years, The
lots will be sold reasonably.
