Editors OF the Register:
During the past month our market for

Virginia tobacco on the 9th INST, but
nothing further regarding tho contract
for Ohio and Mary land tobacco has trans
pired. France will likely not award her
tobacco contracts before June. Owing
10 the late awards OF the Reggie contracts
and the rather wariKe aspect of Euro
pean affairs. the tobacco markets gencr-
ally haye ruled very quiet and AppGr.
emily the season will open later than
usual. The pending change OF the tax
on tobacco In this country has also 10
some extent unsettled the home markets
As the intended increase OF the revenue
on Tobacco in Germany has been post
pOncd until the next session OF the Ger

THAT MUSIC TEACHER STORY.
No Young Lady from wheeling Con-
cerned-Aud no Other Young Lady
Did Anything Improper.

Pittsburgh Leader.
The scandal connected with q certain
school in this city where there are young
lady pupils, seems to have been founded
on very little fact, giving another evil
dence of how stories OF this sort become
exaggerated as they pass from mouth to
mouth. The young lady was not resi-
dent of the city of Wheeling, Us stated,
although she resides outside OF Fcunsyl-
vanla There was no crime committed,
and so far as the young lady is concerned
she wss wholly innocent Of any wreng
whatever, the male music teacher alone
being guilty OF what improPnety was
practiCed. The teacher, II seems, Is one
of those impetuous men whose soul Is
wrapped up in his protessioni the young
lady referred TO was one OF his most pro-
fcient pupils in music. On the day Ia
question she had just rendered in most
excellent manner q piece OF music, and
in his delight at the result of his work so
far forgot himself as TO throw his arms
around the young lady's waist and I'm
print q kiss upon her cheek. The
next moment he was aware Of the
error he had committed, and re made due
apology, but this was no satisfaction to
the Young lady for this exhibition Of
improperly, and he was promptly dis
missed from his position. Out OF this
grew the scandal that has assumed such
large proportions. The young lady
comes of a family of the highest respec-
liability, and herself and friends naturally
feel much sgrieved at the publications
relative to this matter that have done so
much injustice TO her.

The ware room of Mr.. w. w. kneis-

robbed OF six sacks OF clover seed on
Wednesday night last. The thieves ap-
peared at the wholesale grocery house of
MCGOWAN Bros, in this city on We'd
nesdsy morning st about eight o'clock,
and offered the seed for sale. Mr.. Nc
Gown thought the matter had suspicious
cast, and bargsined with the parties for
the seed but only paid SO, telling them
that if they would call IN the evening ne
would pay the balance. He telegrsphed
up the river in the meantime, and re-
ceived a reply TO hold the seed and Mr..

these: McCrystsl * Mccoy, his part
ner, were fined $40 and costs each, and
twenty days in Jail. A subsequent ar
rangement was made by their attorneys
with the Mayor, whereby he agreed to
release them if Mccoy would pay SOB
and McCrystal $25, and enter into an
agreement not TO engage In the saloon
business again in this city. McCrysLal
reopened his old stand, and that caused
his arrest His attorneys are endeavor.
inc 10 have him released on writ ol
habeas corpus, and claim that the Mayor
has no authority 10 cause his arrest after
he has released him. The attorneys for
the city, on the other hand, claim that
the MayOr had no authority TO release
him IN the first place, and therefore the
whole thing is null and void, and ne was
on trial the same rs if he WAS still
prisoner in jail The arguments were
finished Saturday afternoon, but Judge
Jordan reserved his decision until Mon
day.

ing the emigran's were obliged to sub
scribe TO q bond which imposed certain
conditions, and if they were not COM

teelng the people of this State from thoir
