ESELLAIRE LETTER.


BURGLARY.-Ano perpetratiOn
was made on the property of Mr..
Bradebough, Il new shoemaker insthis
place, on Thursday night, and few
pair of fine boots carried off. This bus
iness is becoming quite common, ami
We don't see why ii night police is not
! kept on watch to ferret out the villains
who are 50 bold in their undertaking
This is Il second time raid has been
made on shoe shops.
B. 4 ;. w. X. R.-Pursuant to a call
meeting was held in City Hall last
Saturday evening. l.. Austin was call
| ed to the chair, and Col. &. l.. Poor
man Secretary. After the object OF
the meeting Was announced, speeches
were made by a. w. Anderson, Col.
Sullivan. J. b. Smith, Esq, ami Col.
&. l.. Poormau. In his speech Mr..
Smith called the attention uf the hear
erS to the fact that Bell ,ire had not
only been spoken Of as suitable place
! for the location of the ins :,ection tObac
CO warehouse, but that il tad been So
i-lIcited for the erection of d branch PEN
! itentiary. Should this road be built,
II
| Bellaire would do in way of stock, }
there was no doubt that the branch
penitentiary would be located mere.
And another matter: That Monroe
county wOuli be shut out, and If Bel
laire didn'l answer the call for the road,
another place would. Several strong
points were introduced in his argu
ment of great value to the road, should
it reach here. Col. Sullivan then made
few remarks in its favor, which wei e
very flsttering for this city. He then
introduced map to further his argu-
msnts and to show the section of the
country it would probably pass
through. A cry for G. l.. Poorman
brought the Secretary to the front. In
his remarks the speaker made mention
of the dullnesS of our city, and the
number OF laborers out of employment;
gave the cause and ii remedy to cure;
this road was tine making of the city
benefit to Monroe county, and an adj
vancement OF property and wealth in
Bellaire. Immediately after he took
his seat twenty-five shares were taken.
A committee of twenty men were then
appointed, in addition 10 thOse already
in the field, to solicit subscriptions. The
meeting tten adjourned to meet in
City Hall on Thursday evening, Feb.
Sd. We will try ami give Il more con-
cised report in our next, but to the
point.

''cOncert-entertainme we did not

you, you have our full consent to get

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.-Elder
Spencer has been holding a series of
meetings in his church for the past
week or ten days, and has added sew
eral accrssions. The interest is on the
increase, and the congregations are
growing larger as the meeting pro-
crosses
Rev. Hodson, of the NJ. E. Church,
is holding revival regularly every
afternoon and evening, and is meeting
with success.
OHIO LANTERNs.-The Baron Man
Iufacturing Company of this city, re-
ceived large order for lanterns from
the Island OF st. Thomas, and, accOm-
panving the order, a draft pay able in
gold. This company is doing the largest
business this side of San Francisco, and
we doubt whether the San Francisco
house is dOin,, any better. A business
firm like the Baron Company cannot
fail to do Il fair trade. They mean bus
iness from the smallest to the largest
order, and are prompt, too.
JAMES ADAMS, the celebrated (?(
'walkest,' commenced a feat of walk
ing one hundred hours, on plank
thirty feet long and twenty inches
wide, in this place. He started at Z
O'clock z. NJ, Tuesday, and accom-
plished it on Saturday evening at II
O'Clock. He did not seem to be much
fatigued at the ending-not So much as
one would suppose. 1t is thoughC his
walking was fraud.
