The acquaintances of Mr.. W L. Bslon, Depu-
ty Sheriff under Sheriff Hays, will regret to
learn that for some cause his mental faculties
have become deranged. The Bellaire cores
pondent of the Wheeling Register, of Tues
day, has the following on the subject: A sad
case has developed itself in the peIson of a
young lawyer, Mr.. W. L. Bolon, of this city.
Mr.. Bolon was an exemplary young man, and
no one seemed to think that such fate was to
be his For some days he has refused to eat
anything, and last Friday it was noted by
some of his associates that he acted rather
strange, and on Sunday evening he became
perfectly wild, and was taken into custody
by four stout men, who found it almost i'm.
possible to manage him. He was taken to his
parents home, near Burr's Mills. 1t seems
that MIR. Bolon had been keeping company
with young lady whom he loved very much.
Having made proposal Of marriage to her,
and having been rejected year or more ago
has since shown signs Of crazy nature.

FUNNY-Last week while Judge Carroll
was making the necessary examination, be-
fore applying for the admission of a patient
to the Insane Asylum, funny answer was
volunteered by the sufferer himself. The
question was asked, whether either of his pa
rents, or near relatives had ever been afflicted
in the same way? Promptly, before the gen.
tleman addressed had time to reflect, or even
speak, came the reply: ''No, none of them
were ever troubled in that way; some of them
midlin' .Joslhardy, but that's all ever allied
them That answer satisfied the Court, if il
did upset its gravity for a time. 1t is likely
it knows of other people suffering from thu
same disease.

Coz. SULLIVAN, President of the Bellaire
and Southwestern Railway, made trip along
its entire length last week to observe the pro.
gress and character of the work. He reports
the grading about four -ffths done, and is
well pleased with it.
In two weeks time the bed could be made
ready for the iron from Bellaire to Jacobs
burg. and if the rail can be obtained without
delay two months would find the road in oper-
alton between those points.
The sole obstruction to speedy completion
of the road is want of promptness in paying
subscriptions. Woodsfeld Spirit 18th inst.

Burglary.

On Sunday night, probably near morning,
burglars entered the residence of Rev. g. +.
Beazelle, pastor of the NJ. E. Church of this
place, and ransacked it thoroughly. In the
lower story they helped themselves to the
good things to eat they could find, and lifted
the miniature Bank belonging to the Rever-
ends little daughter, containing SIS in gold
and silver coin; changing base they went up
stairs into the sleeping apartments of the fam
lily, and took fancy to the trowsers of Mr.
Beazelle, which they carried to an adjoining
room and rified the pockets of a pocket book,
four or five dollars in money, a pen knife,
&c, which was modestly appropriated. Burnt
matches were found in different parts of the
house and every indication shows that the
premises were ''gone through" completely.
The there's were evidently in search Of mon
ey, as little else was taken, and the operators
left signs of cool, deliberate action. No clue
is known to the perpetrators of the deed.
