CoKDtAL RECEPTION OF rHR CcLR.
MAsa.-The little ladies made their debut
before our city audience last evening, and
OF once made Q most favorable artistic
impression-in fact repeated the successes
that have crowned them all through the
Southern cihea They are young ladies
Of culture, refinement, grace and varied
accomplishments-dramatic vocal and
musically-Gnd not like the prodigies
haWked around the country Of stilted
ability or unknown origin. These little
ladies are Of very talented and highly
respected family, and their manners and
education, for the duties Of life o. well as
for the requirements Of the stage, have
been carefully cared for. Their parents
accompany them, and their careful guild.
ance has been everywhere the cordial re-
mark Of most friendly approval. Their
entertainments have been attended by the
clergy, pres, members Of the various
churches, % well as the general public,
and theyl have been iriendlily visited al
their residences In the various cities by
the leading ladies and their children; in
fact, in many Of the cities the Colemans
are always sure Of q density crowded
house whenever they appear. Tonight
they will appear again Tor the last night
but one at the Opera House, and In an en-.
tire new programme, blended with enter
tainment to please everybody.

MuHcA1 IHsrRuRETs.-In making
your selection Of Piano or Organ, don't
fail 10 examine the stock Of Messrs.
Adams & Lucas, 1927 Market street. The
instruments they represent, viz: the
steinway, Knsbe and Emerson Pianos,
the Mason & Hamlin and Smith Amer.
lean Organs, are universally acknoWl-
edged to be helesding instruments Of the
world, and taken together they make an
assortment 50 varied that no one can tail
10 be suited in the selection Of an instru.
ment, either as TO price or quality. Inas.
much as many INSCRIPTIONS dealers offer
for sale instruments of questionable char.
acter and inferior quality, it would be
well to bear in mind the fact that but few
persons buy more than one instrument In
a lifetime, hence the necessity Of making
Q careful selection, for, as thousands Of
experienced parties can testify, 1t Is cheap
er, safer and better to buy instruments Of
established reputation, Of good and re-
sponGible makers, than to risk money in
doubtful experiments.

ACCIDENTAL observation-disclosures Nc.
Grail, young man who came from Pitts.
burgh q few days since, was accidentally
shot through the left thigh last evening
about 8 o'clock, at the house Of his friends
in Centre Wheeling, near 2Sd street, be-
tween Market and ChSpline. The par.
ties with whom he is stopping are also
strangers in Wheeling, from Pittsburgh.
The accident happened in this wise: The
wife Of his friend brought a-pistol from
an adjoining room to show 1t 10 him, and
believing 1t to be unlosded, she carelessly
raised the hammer while in the act Of
handing tito him, and the shot occurred.
The bah entered from the inside Of the
thigh, about the middle part, and passing
around the thigh bone lodged near the
surface Of the opposite or outer side Of
the limb. OF course the wound is sc.
rious one; but the ball was soon extracted,
and the patient Is Is CONT ortable no doubt
as could be expected.
