A BOLD ROBBERY.
Thieves Break i'm and Rifle a
Bed Chamber.

Last Friday night, about II O'Clock,
some sneak thief entered the residence
oil Thomas Ferrel, Waterman at the
railroad crossing on Chapline street,
and who resides nj No. 2OlS Water
street, and stole watch, So, Il Il. u ..
railroad pass, and numerous other ar
tcles which Mr.. Ferrel had in the
pockets of his clothing. From what We
were able to learn OF the robbery, the
thief effected an entrance into the house
bv means of the kitchen door. After
gaining an entrance they had easy access
10 the other rooms Of the residence,
through which they went, searching
everything, and wound up their career
bv going into the bed chamber ol Mr..
Frrrcl and rhing his pockets, where
they found the articles mentioned.
Strange to say, neither Mr. nor Mrs.
Ferrel were awakened, and the only
reason they give for not being disturbed
isthat the engine engaged in shiftingcars
in the neighborhood at night dcadened
all sounds that might have been made
bv the thieves The matter has been
placed in the hands of the police, who
will work it up.

The Dramatic Society.

Tomorrow evening the Dramatic So
ciety will unfnrl its wings and shelter
from rude criticism, the youthful dra-
matte fedgelings who will take refuge
there. We hope this society will Hour
ish and grow great, but there are many
obstacles to this happy contamination.
The greatest of these is jealousy. When
cast is made out. the leading character
will. and should, be- given 10 the best
performer, but all will wantit and none
will yield the palm OF ability to the
other. All the gentlemen will wish to
he the gentle Romeo, and all the ladies
the sweet Juliet, but this cannot be.
Some one must be the heavy william. as
well as the representative Of virtue tri-
umphant, and the ill-iavored servant. a.
well rs the iewel-bedecked fine lady.
This has been the fate of all dramatic
societies, and if this escapes this Scylla,
it will be engulied in some neighboring
Charvbdis.

MAGNETIC Treatment.

Another large crowd yesterday de-
rived the benefit of the magnetic treat
ment OF DR.. Emanuel Hersh at the
st. James Hotel. Every one spoke in
the highest terms Of the efficacy OF his
cure. The rumor to the effect
that he used ,mesmerism, is false,
his treatment being simply animal mag
netism, scientifically applied. II you are
ill and suffering. go to him and be cured,
for he can do it. Several of our promi-
nent citizens, conscious OF the benefits of
his course, have made application tohim
to stay here permanently, his time being
now limited to the first three days of
the week, and he now has the matter
under consideration, with the proba-
bility ef receiving a favorable reply.
Should he do so, it will be hailed with
joy by our people, for his permanent
presence here, would be IN acquisition
indeed.

THE WHEELING LIBRARY.
Shall Our People Stand BY 1t?

A meeting of the Directors Of the
Wheeling Library Association was held
last evening at the library rooms. The
proposed course of lectures was, after
thorough discussion, abandoned, as the
directors could not see any very flat
tering indications OF course receiving
sufficient financial attention for its sup
port. Several members of the board
made reports of canvass OF the city
made by them, and the general tenor OF
the reports showed that the people OF
Wheeling have no special fondness for
lecturing. At the next meeting the
board will endeavor To devise some
means for successfully conducting the
institution through the coming year. Ii
seems strange that in city Of the size
of Wheeling so little Of the literary
spirit should be found. In any other
place al institution of this kind would
be self-sustaining.
Here it is necessary to look beyond
the legitimate receipts, and they take
the chance OF a course OF lectures pro-
ducing the where withal or let our sim
gle public place OF literature 20 TO the
dogs. 1t is hopeful that the directors at
their next meeting will devise the ways
and means. The library is not rs many
suppose simply collection of novels
and light literature, but contains on its
shelves food for minds OF every degree.
There are found side by side Plato and
Mrs. Southworth, Aristotle and Dickens,
Dante and Macauley and all the latest
scientific, historical and philosOphic
publications OF home and foreign litera-
ature.
At this place any man in the COM
munity can find rs much Is his mind
can carry away and ii he goes from its
influences empty handed, the fault is
his own. So we hope that any good
plan devised by the directory Tor the
perpetllation Of the library may meet
with the hearty endorsement OF our
citizens. Let Wheeling, the capital
city of West Virginia, the great manu-
featuring center oi the State, and the
seat of great industrial and financial in
tcrests be up and doing. Let her main
tain high literary reputation and con-
