stages of the trial, with a view of ascertain
ing the positive effect of these prolonged
exertions upon the physical system Miss
Won Hillern believes they are beneficial,
and her splendid physique would seem to
substantiate her theory. She is noncom-
mitted as to the probable result, merely re-
plying to our query, II will do my best. "

Collecting Bank Tax s,

The Exchange bank, the Bank of
Wheeling and the Ohio Valley Bank,
paid the taxes yesterday to Sheriff Tinglc,
which was assessed against them by the
recent action OF the Board of Commits
sionors. The Sheriff had previously
made levies on the furniture OF the two
first named banks, and the three paid
yesterday under protest; and they pro-
pose, we are informed, to take their cases
10 the courts for final adjudication. We
understand the Sheriff to hold that he
had no volition IN the matter, but was
compelled to collect these taxes or else
become himself liable for them. The
bank officers do not agree with this view,
claiming that the Sheriff had no right 10
levy or make forced collections until the
cases were decided by the courts. But IS
possession Is nine points in law" the
count between the Sheriff and banks
stands 9 to |.

To-day, weather permitting, the rails
will be laid into the freigh: shed at the
south end Of the wharf, and the division
at the road north of the city will be
ready tor business, so far MS the track is
concerned.
The finishing touches were being
given to the passenger station yesterday,
and the platform and side track at that
point were being made ready.
Mr.. Bailey, ut present the
manager of the Union" ticket office at
the Mcclure House, has been appointed
ticket agent, and will henceforth distri-
butte tracts and railroad tickets to the
travelling public at the foot of Eleventh
street. Mr.. Bsiley's large experience in
tins line makes bis appointment to this
position very tit one, and his
pleasant manners and knowledge of
the railway system OF the coun.
try, will no doubt add TO the
popularity of this new candidate for
public patronage. Considerable comment
has been expressed as to the wisdom of
the city engineer in requiring the rail-
road company 20 lay the track so low at
the foot of Twelfth street, and we think
It would have been better TO have al
lowed the upper rail to come up to the
level of the pavement on the wharf, and
have distributed the grade on the lower
side Of the track, instead of requiring it
to be made IN the short distance be-
tween the upper rail and the cutb
of Water street. Had the former course
been decided upon, the track could have
been laid nearly on level grade, where
as it now requires grade of sixty feet to
the mile to rise up on a level with the
trestle at the south end of the wharf. 1t
has been decided to run passenger
tram on the 22d inst, TO accommodate
those on this side of the river who wish
to witness the parade, &c, in this city on
that date, and trains will be run regu-
larry as soon thereafter as is deemed con.
slssent with the condition OF the road, and
the necessary arrangement can be made.

Fire az BclIairP.

The Bellaire Independent of yesterday

ing of the planning mill of james Nicoll

ious. The fire was discovered about l
o'clock and the alarm at once sounded.
The First ward Hose Co, was soon on
the ground, but before the water could
be turned on the fire made such head
wav that it was impossible to play on the
mill property, and the fremen addressed
themselves to the work of saving
property in the vicinity. The
frame double house owned by +.
J. Smith and MehallIn Campbell,
adjoining the mill, was soon in flames
The mill with its inflsmmable material
burned like finder, and sent up showers
of sparks, which, slighting on the heated
roofs on the south side of the street, set
them burning, and for a time the build
ings owned by j. Henderson, George
Westlake, J. Nlcoll " Son, Mrs.
Francis, and Benjamin Powers were
in great danger of destruction, but

were bat little damaged, as the up town
fire companies arrived IN time to pre-
vent the further spread OF the flames.
The fire WAS the work of an incen-
diary, beyond doubt, as there hsd been
no fire about the mill for some days.
The buildings destroyed were among the
Oldest in town, having been built in 1862.
