The $4OO reported as having been
stolen from the money drawer OF Messrs,
Litten 81 Workman, Monday evening,
has turned up, and additional particulars
concerning the manner OF It's taking oil
have TRANSFERRED. 1t seems that Mr.. Lit
ten has a very careless habit of leaving
the store without locking the door. His
friends have repeatedly warned him that
some one would take advantage of this
habit to rob the store. On Monday he
left the store for time, and Mrs. Lltten
seeing him, went in and took charge o.
the cash, intending to teach him Prac-
teal lesson. After alarming him to a
wholesome extent, she gave back the
money.

The Way IT'S Done.

People 60 to auction sales for the pur-
pose OF buying articles cheaper than in
the regular way. Probably they do buy
cheaper, as rule, but there are many In
slaEces on record where excitement and
competition, together with ~ adroit suc-
tiOncer to take every vantage OF the stu
alton, have caused the purchaser to rue
his bargain. Not long ago the house
hold effects of citizen were being sold
when Il half barrel Of sugar was put up.
All heads were at once erect and inter-
csted on the Increase, tor that was some
thing everyone wanted and all could use.
The oily t0ngued man OF "And halt,
and a half and q hail. started it at once
at the market price and in few seconds
thereafter knocked it down to knowing
one, who always attended these sales Tor
bargains, at three cents more per
pound than the grocer asked for it.
Kirk, the picture merchant, tells
of SIMILAR case at the sale of Chromos
lately st Williams Bros. store on Market
street. He saw buyers paying % per
cent. more for pictures than what the
dealers offered them in the regular way.
The moral of all this is when you attend
an auction, keep cool, and if you see your
neighbor ben! upon having an article
you want yourself, be sure you know It's
market value before you compete with
him for its purchase. Once started their
is certain kind of conceit in you both
which keeps getting warmer and warmer
until YOU "bile right over"

Nature Demands n Tonic

When the nerves are unstrung, the head
aches, the appetite is poor OF variable, the
sleep disturbed, and a general deprecis-
ton OF vital power is experienced. Such
a state of things cannotlong exist without
the development of serious disease. The
most active, genial invigorant known IS
Hostetter's stomach Bitters. The absolute
purity OF its spirituous basis and botanic
ingredients gives it a permanent claim 70
public confidence, and its surprising
medicinal value is admitted by medical
men OF distinction, by whomit is widely
used in private practice. For fever and
ague-both as a preventive and remedy
dyspepsia, liver complaint, bilious remit.
tent fever, constipation, cnoleraic COM
plants, hatulence, and al intestinal dis
orders, it is a thoroughly reliable remedy.
1t is the antife0rIe specific par excel
lence of the malarial districts OF this and
other countries, where diseases born OF
miasma prevail, and as general house
hold remedy II is universally esteemed.

dsy matinee. The sale OF seats now pro-
crossing al Adams i Lucas. There will
he AN excursion train from Wellsbnrg
Saturday night, making the round trip
Including admission to the Opera House
for 81 90. The Pittsburgh Leader says:
"The popularity OF the company were
sttested in the mammoth audience which
last night witnessed the performance OF
Brysnts Ministries. The performance
merited the attendance. The drawing
room" part of the entertainment was de.
cidedly good. The overture and songs
were all well rendered. That of Hughey
Dougherty and the Two TrsmPs," and
the finale by Dougherty, Reed, Norris
and "Little Mac were very amusing.
Dave Reeds Imitation of the drum with
the bones and Arthur Bent's cornet sole
were also capital performances, while the
other features proved very interesting.
The audience was kept in constant roar.
RIGNoLD.
This distinguished dram attic star and
his celebrated combination OF az first
Glass artists and 100 auxilisries will un-
doubtedly take Wheeling and vicinity
bv storm on Monday and Tuesday nights
next. Nothing to equal this presents-
ton of Henry V. has ever been seen IN

nous expense of the entertainment, the
price of admission will not be raised.
An excursion train on the ?. W. u KY.
road will be run from Steubenville on
Monday night. Seats will be sold on

HaTper's Weekly of March 9Th says:
"One OF the best actors London has sent
to this country, Mr.. George Rignold. has
achieved remarkable Success at Booths
Theatre in Henry " which has just been
produced there with unprecedented
scenic effects, and ia, on the whole, the
finest Shskespearsn representation that
has been witnessed in New York. The
daily press Is unanimous in its enComl-
uns OF Mr.. Rignold for his quiet, digni-
fed, manly, kingly rendition OF the part
OF the valiant monarch. His delivery Of
the famous soliloquy and prayer is ex-
ceptionally fine. 1t contrasts with the
friyohty of the modern drama Mr..
Reynolds Henry v, generous adversary,
| munifcent friend, brave commander, and
gallant solder.woer, rises to q heighth OF
grandeur where Shakespeare placed him."
