"THE greatest of all is charity" Our
citizens should all remember the Enter
tainment at School Hall tonight, for the
benefit of the poor of our city. Every
one who goes to see "Romanee and Re
ality," will be sure to spend an evening
very pleasantly, and in addition, will be
contributing their mite towards feeding
and clothing the needy. Let every one
whose heart is in the right place, and
who wishes to aid suffering humanity,
purchase ticket whether they can at
tend or not. The proceeds will be placed
in nroper hands who will see that it Is
applied to relieve the wants OF the des-
titute. Let eur acts show that our pro-
fessions of charity are not empty words

aire Cemetery.
THE annual installation of the officers
of Bellaire Lodge, No. 267, F. and A. NJ,
for the year 1875, took place last evening
at Masonic Hall.
THE fall of snow on yesterday, came
to a stop too soon for the realization oi
the hopes of sleighing parties.
THE fall of snow night before last
brought one thousand street sweepers
Yesterday morning. The snow ordl-
nance" was the cause of them being on
duty so promptly. 1t is good ordi-
nance and we hope our officers will en-
force its observance to the letter.
OUR friend j. r. Naylor underwent a
very severe operation yesterday, by
having a large carbuncle on his neck
cut open, but he stood it like a little man,
and only said 'jingo" twice.
A FEW days ago it was reported in
our city that Mrs. DR.. Satterthwait, of
Bellaire, had died at Belmont, and Il
notice of her death was published in
quite number of papers, but we are
glad to say that the report was without
foundation and that she is still alive, and
we take great pleasure in saying that
hopes are entertained for her recovery.

STATE BONDS-Quiet and steady.
RAILROAD BoNDs-Firm with large
transactions in Pacific issues.
SToCKs-ActIye and irregular, and in
the main weak. The fight between the
bulls and bears continues, and the bears
retain the advantage. Western Union
and Lake Shore were the features, both
of which were marked by rapid tluctua-
tions, Lake Shore being the weakest stock
on the list, induced partly by Washing
ton dispatches saying that the investiga-
ton on the part ofthe Internal Revenue
department into the books of the com
pany showed it to be in arrears for taxes.
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph was de-
pressed by u report Of the return to
Europe of the cable steamer Farraday,
while Western Union became strong.
During the last hour the market was ac-
tive and unsettled, the principal activity
being in Western Union, Lake Shore
and Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph.
The transactions aggregated 23oOOO
shares, Of which 5000 were Pacific Mail,
300 Western Union, 10000 Northwest
ern, 5000 st. Paul, 10000 Lake Shore,
u, 900 Ohios and $4,000 Union Pacific.

A SMALL REwARD.-The store of
Hawley Il Sweeney, successors to Swee-
nev Il Co. on 18th street, was entered
sometime between Saturday night and
Monday morning and robbed of the
magnificent sum of three centsl The
thieves effected an entrance through the
window of the room, and broke
the lock of the money drawer, but fortu
nately everything in it had been taken
out by the proprietors beforethey left on
Saturday night, except three cent piece
which was taken, showing the thieves
were very hard up for some cash. Moth
ing else about the store was molested.

FIRE AT Mt. PLEAsANT-Semlnd1y
observation-disclosures who were up late
Saturday night, could see brilliant light
and sparks ascending, apparently over
the hill back of Martins Ferry. Up to
3 o'clock Sunday morning, it was plainly
visible, and seemed to be in the direction
of Mt. Pleasant. The following, from
the Steubenville Gazette of last evening,
throws some eight" on the subject
We learn from note received from
A. d. Humphreyville, Esq, of MI. Pleas
ant, this county, that the Friends Semi,
nary, at that place, was totally destroyed
by ire on yesterday Sunday morning.
The fire was discovered about one
o'clock in the morning, in the garnet OF
the building. The Friends had just ex-
pended about $1,000 in repairing the
building. Loss, $4,000 to $1,000; no in
surance. 1t is supposed to have been
the work of an ncendiary, as no fire had
been in the building lately.

THE POWER OF THE SERVANT GIRLS
There are but few, we imagine, who will
question the power of servant girls in the
household, but some of our readers Will
doubtless be disposed to question the re-
cent utterances of Massachusetts poll
tician, who is reported as having said;
off the servant girls of Massachusetts
were TO call in their wages that they have
deposited in the banks, every business
man in Massachusetts would be broken.
He could not stand the pressure one day.
Whenever the servant girls make that
call. that moment the whole business OF
the country is dishonored.' In her
sphere the servant girl is an admirable
institution, and has become prime ne
cessity, but it is hardly probable that Tor
some wears to come she will be able to
stop the wheels of finance and commerce
by the withdrawal of her earnings from
our banking institutions. 1t is crafty
ing to hear, however that these girls are
saving prudently for n rainy day-or for
change of position.

THE PUDDLERs.-On Saturday morn
ing number of the manufacturers made
an offer to their puddlers of "a 80 per
ton if they would resume work. The re-
duction originally asked by the proprie-
tors was from So % to So 90 per ton, but
now they claim that they could not run
their mills without loss to themselves
even at that figure and are unwilling to
give more than 81 so per ton. The offer
Of 81 so they say was made out of charity
to the boilers in order to give them a
chance to earn something for their fami-
lies. They did not ask the men to go to
work at that price, but merely offered
them the opportunity. The men, how
ever, refused to accept, and the matter
rests as bsfore.-Pttsburgh Post.
