ADyEyTuRE OF A PLucKY Ono GRL

ADVENTURE OF A PLucKY ONO GIRL.
Misses Clara and Ella Cleayer, dsugh.
tiers OF Hon. Eli Cleaver, residing about
two miles east Of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio,
had an exciting adventure last Thursday
night, while driving home from town.
They had attended prayer meeting dur
ing the evening and after wards called at
the ir dress-maker's before starting !or
home, which made them quite late In
getting back. The night was very dark,
but the girls were not alarmed, and drove
fearlessly forward. When about half
way home their horse suddenly stopped,
and upon looking carefully ahead they
discovered that o barricade had been
built directly across the road.
Miss Clara happened to be driving, and
handing the reins to her sister she jump.
ed out and removed the obstruction.
While she was doing 40 a man, whose
face had been BACKED 10 disguise his iea.
lures, came from the side Of the road and
reaching into the buggy took out the
blanket q shawl, and q new silk dress
Just from the hands Of the dressmaker.
Miss Clara saw the fellow, and seizing
the buggy whip she commenced laying it
vigorously about his head and shoulders,
at which he took 10 his heels, with the
young lady In pursuit. The race contin-
ued for some distslce, the young lady
cutting the rascal about the face and neck
most numerically with her whip. She
declared afterwards that she wanted to
mark him, SO that he could be identified.
After this exciting incident the young
ladies resumed their journey, and arrived
home without further adventure in q
short time.

HUNS yApoR STovB.-Many are the
devices patented within the last lew yeari
for cooking and heating with petroleum
but very few, so far, have proved q sue
cess. Coal oil stoves have been put
forth by the thousand, but for various
reasons many people have become dis
gusted with them and are a%nxiously look
ing around for something better. Hulii
Vapor Stoves have been In use FIVE years
and not q single person has yet been
found who IL dissatiIfed with their use
The longer people use them the more
they like them, and the less they are
willing 10 do without them. The Hull
Stove Il constructed on purely scientific
principles, and readily converts the gaso.
line into hydrogen gas, which being mix.
ed with the oxygen Of the air burns q
blue fame without any smoke or smell.
This stove, for safety, beauty and real
utility, has no equal IN the world. Ladies
who use these stoves are rapturous over
the result It does away with the great
discomfort-smudge and oppressive heat
-of q common cook stove. Il avoids
that abominable nuisance they all dread
and hate 80 much-building q FIRE 10 the
ordinary cook stove. II saves them hall
the labor in getting meals, and will do all
the cooking, baking, washing and ironing
that can be done on any other stove. Sold

sKrFP TH1EyEs.-Harry Lists skiff
was stolen from its mooring in front OF
his house on the Island, on Saturday
night and was found yesterday afternoon
lnthe possession Of couple Of larks near
the foot ofthe Island. Nj. List recover.
ed Il. Several other skitfs have also been
stolen of the Island shore within . abort
time. As q word Of warning to those
who think that skiff stealing Is . minor
offense, we would say that the penalty 10
very severe. The theft Of q very inferior
skiff, If the lock or chain be broken 10 &C.
cure It, Is 3 p~enitentiary %offense. Several
young fellows from the vicinity Of this city
are serving q term Of Two years in the
Penitentiary for stealing a skif from
obediah Peyton, near the upper edge Of
Tyler county. These thefts are sometimes
committed by boys who find themselves
on the Island without the requisite nickel
to pay for the privilege Of crossing the
suspension bridge, and who loaf around
until nightfall and then steal q skif 10
get home. They may think 1t q kind OF
Joke on the owner, but it 10 dangerous
game, and II any Of them are caught in
the future, or the offense can be proven on
them, they will be made to suffer for It,

SUNDAY ExcuRsIoSs.-Laramie's ex-
~cursion to Powhattan yesterday, on the
sieamer Science, didn't seem TO take with
the boys. There we're 40 few passengers
that Laramie concluded he could make
money by staying at home, and he did.
So there was no excursion. We repeat
that Wheeling is a moral city.
A large excursion party, consisting oil
several hundred persons, came down
from Steubenville yesterday, and spent
several hours in our city. The trip was
made on the steamer Express. and the
steamer landed at the wharf Just about
noon, with banners flying and drums
beating. Quite q large crowd gathered at
the wharf and gave the steubenyille peo-
pie . hearty greeting. Cellars
famous brass band, which accompanied
the party, played several popular airs as
the boat approached the wharf, which
drew forth many expressions Of admira-
ton from our citizens. The S%teubenvil.
lians spent the afternoon in a very agree.
able manner, in rambling about town
looking up old acquaintance aud friends.
After being entertained at the halls OF the
various musical societies Of the city, the
visitors babe their entertainers farewell,
aud left for home At 5 P. N.
