ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Family Quarrel, the Supposed
Cause.

East Wheeling was electrified yester-
dav afternoon by the news that an old
man named Loeffier had attempted 10
take his lie and pass to another world
via oxalic acid. A crowd soon gathered
about the house, a small frame on Eigh
teenth street, just east of alley +, 10
learn the particulars There the old
man was found, lying half dead and
suffering untold agonies, from the effects
of the powerful corrosive poison he
had swallowed. The exact circum-
stances are difficult TO be reached,
every person knowing differ
ent version. II appears that l|oetfier
has lately led an unhappy life, and hav-
ing already passed the three score and
ten wears allotted to man, and as death
would, by natural means, soon newt
ably follow, determined to hasten his
introduction TO the grisly monarch by a
dose of poison. He procured about two
ounces of oxalic acid, Ostensibly for the
purpose of removing some ink stains,
in granular form. This he placed in a
glass OF whisky, and in few moments
drank it.
The amount of the acid was sufficient
to produce death IN q lew mo-
ments had the full effect been
realized. But he had not permitted the
salt TO entirely dissolve, and further,
the LIQUOR operated as a cOunteracting
stimuiant. His condition was discovered
almost Immediately and medical aid
summoned. The proper antidotes were
administered, but without much APP.
parent effect, and his life is despaired
of. His advanced age is against his re-
covery, and it is feared the powerful
corrosive has'eaten through the coat OF
his stomach, in which event death must
ensue. At late hour last evening he
was still in critical condition.
Various conjectures as to the imme-
Mate causes which led to the rash act
were made by the neighbors, all OF
which point to domestic infelicity. If
such be the case it is best to draw the
kindly mantle of charity over all, as
such state is sorrowful enough with
out the addition of undue publicity.

The railroad I'LL at the corner OF Hall

die of water to settle on the pavement

Some arrangement ought to be made to
remedy the trouble before bad weather.

Hunting Party.

4 hunting party consisting Of Judge
Samuel Smith, Rev. Frank Trivett, DIR.
J. y. Sights and several others from
Ohio county, will start in a few days for
a grand hunt in the neighborhood OF
Hawks Nest, on the New River. They
will not strike small game, but will turn
their attention to bear and deer, and
those animals had better form vigilance
committees at once and guard against
this three weeks raid. All the friends
of the individual members of the party
have been promised antlers without end
and shops all along the line will drive a
thriving trade if half these promises are
fulfilled

Broke Away.

1t seems that our workhouse is OF in,
sufficient security to contain the slip
perry "Dutchy" West, who has again
made himself scarce in that vicinity
This is not "Dutchy's" first exploit in
thar line. as he has escaped before, and
was retaken at the tunnel by Watch
man Fleming. The workhouse is not a
Bastile for security, and in spite of the
utmost vigilance OF the officers, men
will occasionally get out and off without
being noticed. What is required is a
good stiff fence, such as the Mayor re-
commended to Council, but as that all
wise body saw fit not to construct it,
nobody can growl when an occasional
prisoner regains his liberty.

About forty families are now enjoying
this leafy grove or city of the woods.
Life in this city is not what many sup
pose. We have nearly all the con-
yeniences of homes elsewhere. The
cottages are being constructed with an
eve TO the future comfort as well as
the present. Nearly all are being built
two stories high, and as commodiOus as
the appointed space will allow. l.. j..
Stone has about completed a fine two
story, ii by 30 feet, with all the modern
improvements, good cellers, &c. q. g..
Wilding, the Island preacher and the
camp ground gymndSt, has nearly
completed a fine two story cottage
VIM. Lewis and family are occupy
ing the fine cottage built by Mr.. {. Con-
ner. Mr.. Swisher, of FairmOnt, has
built him fine cottage also. George
Edwards, of Moundsyille, and DIR. a. D..

best on the ground. The lumber is on
the ground and will be completed
before the regular meeting opens
The association have greatly i'm
proved the ground in the removal OF
unsishtly stumps and in planting sever
al hundred water naples, The board
ing house LAS been nicely remOdeled,
with all the ConyenienCCs necessary to
the comfort OF those who desire to
board during the meeting. 1t might
well be named the Forest City Hotel.
This camp ground is destined tO'be the
most pleasant retreat and summer re-
sort west of the Allegheny Mountains.
The coming campmeeting will, no doubt,
be one of the very best held here.
Meetings are being held nightly in the

The w. & w. II. r. Not Leased.

Washington Reporter.
A meeting OF the stockholders OF the
w. & w. railroad was held at Waynes.
burg on the 9TH inst, to consider the
propriety OF selling or leasing the road
TO the Pittsburgh Southern Railroad
Company. 4 letter to Mr.. Richie, the
President of the w. & w, Railroad Com
pany, from Mr.. Hopkins, President Of
the Pittsburgh Southern, was read. 1t
contained a proposition to purchase a
controlling share OF the stock at p cents
on the dollar, payable in transportation
bonds of the Pittsburgh Southern in
one, two and three years. Another
proposition was to lease the road for 80
years, providing the w. & w. com
pany would put It's Indebtedness i'll
a shape not to annoy the lessee, and
pay the w. & w. company S0per cent
of the net profits of the road. The
matter was discussed by Messrs. Richie,
Temple, Purman, Buchanan, Nc
Cracker and others, but as there was
not definite proposition before them
a resolution was adopted that no action
could be taken. We understood that
at the next meeting of the Directors a
proposition will be submitted for a lease
of the road to a number Of gentlemen,
now connected with the road, for
fifteen or twenty dollars. They will at
once, il their proposition is accepted,
provide for the payment of the floating
debt of the payment company, and the
interest on the bonds.

Mr.. Anderson, Principal of our Wells

for a position as principal of the Fourth
ward school at Wheeling, and the regret
is not diminished by the fact that the
leaving was not determined upon until
so late day that we shall probably be
somewhat hampered in selecting sub
stitute. Applicants are plenty, it is
true, but a little more sea room would
have suited better. The selection OF a
principal and also of another teacher
will probably he made before our next
issue. The resignation of Mr.. Anderson,
il is understood, also makes vacancy
of the position filed by Mrs. Anderson.

THE DECALOGUE.
Lecture Last Evening by Rev.
Fmegel.

The Jewish Synagogue was filled last
evening by large audience OF the He
brews of cur CITY, to hear and enjoy q
lecture from Rev. VI. Fluegel, of Erie,
Pa. Mr.. +. will probably receive call
to remain here. He is profound think
er and subtle reasoner, and delivered an
able and eloquent lecture upon the
"DeCalOgue."
After showing, first, the circumstances
under which that most august monu-
ment of antique religious legislation
took place, with the especial interest
and aim of forming, by
that instrument, the same people
since called Israel, and for the higher
development of mankind, entered into a
minute discussion OF each verse, SEN
tence and word of the Ten Command
ments, designating them as the central
doctrine of Mosaism. He largely dwelt
upon each Commandment, showing
wherein il conceded and wherein il
contrasted with the views and the poll
cy OF ancient States and peoples; what
bearing they had upon the physical,
moral and intellectual development OF
the world, and now, in course OF time,
brought about the present civilization.
He especially enlarged upon the Mos
ale view of the Godhead, contrasting II
with the other beliefs and philOsOpies OF
olden or modern times, especially with
the doctrines of dualism, polytheism
and pantheism. He again inveighed
against the ancient or present atheism
and materialsm, their gospel of dirt
las CARLYLE has it) as taught by the jew
ish or GENTLE Ingersolls; bringing out
in iull bloom the rational yet solemn
and majestic doctrine of the Divine Be-
ing in its full and living individuality,
vet without any stain of corporeality.
He finished by stating that the propa-
eating of the theology and the morals OF
the Decalogue constitutes the proper
task and mission Of Israel "the kingdom
OF priests and holy nation" that on ac-
count of this task the Jew has TO bear
the current prejudices even to this day,
as hagrantly brought out by the Corbins
and the Hiltons, and that the final scope
of the Hebrew historic career is to unite
and fraternize mankind under the pro-
tecting wing of the civilization as fore
Swallowed by the Ten Commandments.
