There is one thing on which hus-
band and wife never. have and never
can agree, and that is on what consti-
tutes well beaten carpet. When the
article is clean it's the mans. impress
sion that it should be removed, and
he be allowed TO wash up and quietly
retire. But a woman's appetite for
carpet-beating is never appeased
while aman has whole muscle in his
body. And if he waited until she
voluntarily gave the signal to stop he
might beat away until he dropped
down dead. 1t is directly owing to
his superior strength of mind that the
civilized world is not a widow this
day. "-Danbavy Neavs. 1868
In an article upon the present un-
satisfactory condition of business affairs
Throughout England, and particularly in
London, the Saturday Review philoso-
phizes as follows: London is less gay
because London is less rich, and that
London should be so far less rich as to
make its economies evident, means
much in the current history Of the
country. The wealth of the provinces
is poured into London shows the pres
sure of dull times, there can be no
doubt that times, are very dull
throughout England. People are not
SO much ruined as hit, and the num-
Der of people who have been hit in va
rious ways is normous. 1t is because
steady people are suffering that Lon
don shows signs of distress.
: BEAUTIFUL P1cTuREs.-We have
received from the Fine Aart publish
ing House of Geo. Stinson & Co.,
Portland, Maine, several pictures re-
Gently published by them. The sub
jects, as works of high art, deserve
the highest praise. Stinson & Co.
were among the pioneers in the Fine
Art publishing business in this coun-
try, and year by year their business
has grown, until at the present time
it has assumed colossal proportions.
A short time since they published
a-chromo that had a run of over one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
copies. The weight ofthem unmount-
ed was over nine tons. In the selec-
ton of subjects, Stinson & Co. show
correct judgment Of the public taste,
which natural talent, aided by long
experience, alone can give. They
publish every description of fine works
of art, from chrome to photograph
from fine Crayon drawing to the
most elegant Steel Engraving.
They bring into service the skill of
the most talented artists.
They are also publishers of the
Centennial Record, which is a very
large illustrated paper, devoted to
whatever is Of interest connected with
the One Hundredth Birthday of the
United States. Terms one dollar per
year. The great Exhibition at Phila-
delphia is fully illustrated and de-
scribed.
Messrs. Stinson & Co., are at pres
ent in want Of, a large number Of new
agents, to whom they offer the most
liberal inducements. We call atten-

Commercial papers report but little
change in business affairs the past
week. The most encouraging feature
was the shipment of considerable guam
titles of breadstuffs, though the out
ward movement of other commodities
was of a very limited character. I'M
ports continue to exibit a material
falling off The superabundance of
money and low rats of capital afford
no incentive for speculative operations,
and local, as well as western merchants,
appear to have manifested no DISPOSE
ton to purchase except from hand to
mouth.

afternoon lightning struck the Pres

knocking off the top, and completely
shattering one side of it. The fluid
is supposed to have spread over the
iron roof, hence no damage to the
house proper, The ball upon the
ttop was knocked into the yard of Mr.
A. NJ. WHITE, about one hundred and
fifty feet distant, and timbers and
slivers scattered about in every di
rection. Members Of the choir were
in the church at the time, but for
tunately escaped with nothing more

The particulars of the shooting at
Hurricane Bridge, a mere statement
of which we gave last week, are
these. They are communicated to
the Cincinnati press, under date,
Huntington, w. Va, June 9th:
Evening before last strange lady
and gentleman arrived here in bug
gy and tarried for the night. Yes
terday morning the gentleman left
driving eastward. The lady went
down the river at 10 a. m, and landed
at South Point. During the day in
formation reached here that the male
party was horse-thief from Green
field, Ohio. Thereupon Marshal
Mitchell and Mr.. Turner, of this city,
at once started in pursuit. At one
o'clock this morning they overlook
the thief near Hurricane Station. An
encounter took place, the full details
of which have not reached us, but we
have intelligence that the Marshal
and Turner were found lying help
less on the highway this morning,
both shot. Mitchell died about ii
a. m, and Turner's injuries it is be-
lieved, will prove fatal too. The thief
then stole fresh horse in the vicini-
ty and escaped.
He came to the Ohio river some
twelve miles below this city, left his
horse, and took passage on the Par
sons for this city. He spent some
hours here, and then took the noon
p tcket for Pomeroy, where he was
arrested upon a description given by
telegram from this city. He was
taken back to Huntington.
Tho Murderer Lynched.
The murderer was taken to the
Winfield, Putnam county, Jail. On
Friday night, eighteen citizens, un-
disguised, appeared at the Jail, and
taking the keys from the jailor, took
the prisoner out, and proceeded with
him some two miles from town, and
there hung him to tree. The muir
derer left the Jail singing, but the
lynchers made him soon cease from
that sort of bravado.
Our exchanges speak of him as j.
NJ. Cox and as NJ. JOHNSON. His
father, it is thought, lives at Boyd,
Mecklenburg county, Virginia. On
his person at the time of his arrest in
Pomeroy were slips from newspapers
giving accounts of the shooting of
colored waiter on the steamer j. B.
Maud on the Mississippi river, by
one J. NJ. Cox, of Texas. The &C
counts closed with statement that
Cox had escaped.
