The PARKERsBURG EXCURsIoSIsTs-
The Parkersburg Daily Citg itcm OF
Tuesday, has this in its report Of the ex-
cursion mat came up to this city last
Sunday on the Chesapeake:
SUNDAY morning dawned beautiful.
Here we were at Wheeling. How did
you rest? How are YOU pleased? What
excellent order! All, Capt. Williamson
is on board, and he and Capt. knowles
know how to manage. | see, one or the
other is always in sight; and appear to
be all over the boat at the same time.
What church are you going to? And
then parties paired of to their respective
pisces. In the morning the Episco
palian minister claimed our after
ton; IT isn't worth while for US
to attempt to add to his fine reputation
as speaker. The afternoon We spent
in the Sunday school Of the Methodist
church. The building is large and eIe-
giant structure. The school or lecture
room is quite large. In the centre, be-
tween the altar and seats, Is a large
fountain letting forth silvery sprays that
descend noiSeless as the falling dew into
basin of some eight feet in diameter.
After the evening services were over the

TIE TUsCARAwAs VALLEY RAILROAD
Although but little stir is being made
about the affair, the preliminaries 10
the building Of the Tusearawas Valley
Railroad to this city are being quietly but
surely completed. On Wednesday Of
last week, the General Superintendent
and Chief Engineer of the road, Mr..
w. w. Card, and the General Manager,
Mr.. Thomas arrived in Bridgeport in the
interests of their road Or Tuesday Mr..
R j. Bags and Andrew Bags started
with Mr.. Card in a buggy to examine
the route. They kept along the creek for
sixteen or seventeen miles and crossed
the summit of the dividing ridge between
the Saltwater and Wheeling creek val
leys, at Bigleys watering trough, They
then went down TO Athens, carefully ex-
aiming the route the whole distance.
Mr.. Card went from Athens TO Edge
vile, and from there to Cleveland, and
expected to lay report before the Board
of Directors on Saturday, and ask them
to furnish corps Of engineers to COM
mcnce the survey Immediately at this
end of the line. This will probably be
granted, and it is possible that the engi-
neers will arrive III Bridgeport the first
of next week, and Immediately COM
mence work.
Mr.. Card wa, welcomed to Athens
with many expressions Of pleasure. The
citizens of Athens are jubilanL over the
prospects Of obtaining the road and will
no doubt do much TO secure it. Whoth-
cr or not they will get it is Il matter of
doubt. For distance Of sixteen miles
up Wheeling creek the road cannot di-
verge; above that point there are four or
five routes, the best and most practicable
OF which will likely be selected without
regard to any other considerations. A
Committee from Athens was in Bridge
port yesterday, irquiring into the pros
poets of the road coming through their
city.
The Tuscarawas Valley road, as We
believe we have mentioned before, is
owned by the New York Central, South
ern Michigan, and Lake Shore roads.
Owing to this fact the connections Of the
road are excellent, being unequalled by
any that has ITS terminus in this vicinity.
And further this fact precludes the pos
sibility Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company obtaining control Of the
road without purchasing and paying II
round price for it, which 1t is not likely
the b. IL o. will do.

MIXED.-A correspondent! of the New
York Times, day or two since, attempt-
ed to explain the causes Of the strikes IN
this city. This he did because the tele
graph account sent to the papers all over
the country was so bungling and mixed
that no one could tell head or tale about
the strikes He explains that the strike
of the boilers helpers is against II re-
duction of from 81. II to 81. OF course
this is incorrect, as every one in the city
knows They were receiving but y Il
day before the strike, and now protest
against their wages being reduced to $l.Sl
per day. The explanation Of the feeders
strike Is corr Get, with the exception that
the feeders here desire these in other
places, Pittsburgh, especially, to strike.
Such is not their desmc They have
even gone so far rs to
request the feeders at Pittsburgh
Sharon, Ironton, and other places, not TO
strike us the success of the strike here de-
ponds upon the others working. The
logic of this is that the mill owners will
possibly compel the nailerS to aecede to
the demand of the strikers, to prevent the
loss of custom that may ensue, with the
mills IN other places working and those
here idle.

Is this world of ours one can never be
certain that he is correct. Yesterday we
were informed by three different persons
on the Island, that Hunter was the name
of the man who caught the big fish, and
a gentleman who dropped into the count
ing room, for the purpose of giving the
information, said it was Hunter. But
now We are requested to say that it was
Mr.. &. w. Lennon, who made the
catch. The fish was four feet seven
inches long, and weighed 23f pounds.

AN ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.-Night
before last, about - o'clock, an attempt
was made to burglarize the store OF MI,
L. Stillwagon, at Claysville, Pa. Before
efiecting an entrance they were frightcn-
ed away by the dogs on the premises.
In the morning there were found at the
rear of the store brace and bit, an augur
and several other articles suitable for
their purpose which they had stolen
from n ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS shop. The
supposition is that they were "gc'men'
of color, as several suspicious characters,
had lately been seen in the vicinity. The
store has been robbed on three different
occasions in the past, and Mr.. Stillwugon
is prepared now and at all times to give
them warm reception.

ONE of the Centre Wheeling Justices
OF tho Peace, thinks that the press re-
porters in the city have been publishing
news prematurely. He is correct. The
ends of justice are often defeated by the
publication OF the issuance of q warrant
for the arrest of all offender, as the latter
frequently sees the item before the arrest
can be made and gets out of the way.

New In Violin and Guitar
Bridges and Sounding Posts.

The many mentions in the local press
for patents received for new and useful
inventions by our citizens indicate that
not only are they up with the times and
able to compete with their fellow man,
wherever he may be, but the ability eX-
lists and is constantly being utilized, to
think, plan, and perfect something
that will be an improvement on its pre-
decessor.
This expression Of comparison lie fur
Their justified BY little invention recent
ly shown US, which in its way must
work a revolution in the use of the ar
ticle it is intended to replace. The in
vention is neither more nor less than a
glass violin or guitar bridge and vented
by Messrs. j. o. Brosius, j. 2. Glass and
and j. H. Leighton, worthy young citi-
zens of Wheeling, and for which they
nave already secured cdrsdt.
The advantages claimed for this simple
little affair are: first, that the speed with
which it conveys the sound is infinitely
quicker than any other material now
used, and second, the friction on the
glass is comparatively much less than on
wood, because of its very hard and
smooth surface thereby diminishing the
wear and tear on the strings
and instrument. These two
changes bring about the great results
desired, viz: A more rapid production
Of sound after the manipulation Of the
bow or fingers; fuller and clearer tone,
and a greater accuracy of the note or key
sounded. These points in An instrument,
are, of course, the great desiderata de
sired by all musicians, and persons o
musical culture. The nearer it comes TO
these qualities the greater is its perfection
and value. All this is claimed for it by
the inventors, and more, which We do
not now recall, but if only a portion o.
the above is realized their bridges and
sounding posts, which they also mako,
will, of necessity, supercedc the old wood
en- ones, and be sought after by all manu-
facturers of.musical string instruments.
1t is further stated BY the inventors,
that their principle is also adapted to the
piano. which caveat covers as well, and
will produce like important results in
that popular instrument.
How did they oome to think Of such a
contrivance will naturally be asked. 1t
WAS in this way: Some time ago a
performer in the Berger family
of Bell Ringers at the Opera House en-
tertaned the audience very delightfully."-
by the singularly sweet sounds and tunes
produced from a number Of ditloren;
sized gobletS, either partly or completely
filled with water. Tie thought impressed
itself then upon Messrs. Glass and Brosius
ofthe application and adaptability Of glass
for the purposes referred to above. Their
views were communicated to Mr.. Leigh
ton, who is, we believe, worker in glass,
and has thorough knowledge Of the
qualities of the same, and he conceded at
once with his friends that there was, per-
hnps millions in it." They went to
work practicing and experimenting unit!
now they have attained result that fully
equals their expectations. We hope that
their patient labor and perseverance will
produce them a rich and rapid harvest Of
ducats

A BAD CASE OF ABSENCE OF MIND.
About one of the worst ca.es 81 alb
sence Of mind We have heard OF Tor some
time, took place Tuesday evening. IL
was after the spelling match at d.
Joscph's Cathedral was out that couple
of young ladies who live down IN centre
Wheeling were going home together
Jus: in front Of them was young man
from the Eighth ward who Is
the happy possesSor of light moustache,
which he twirls with commendabls de-
gree of complacency. One of the young
ladies in question became very much
smitten with the gent while at the Ca
thedral, and when she discovered
him in front of her on the way
home, so absorbing did her inter-
est in him become that she forgot
all things else, even that which woman
seldom forgets, attention to her dress and
personal appearance. Arriving at home
she suddenly discovered that she had lost
her overskirt and cape without knowing
it. As these articles were Of intrinsic
value, she and her friend started
back in search Of the articles
and industriously looked for
them until nearly twelve o'clock, invok'
ing the aid of one of the guardians Of the
public peace. 1t is needless to say that
the articles were not found, but it is
presumable that the young lady will be
more careful to secure her clothing in
the future, or guard against allowing her
affections to run riot with her reason.
