A Mothers, Tea Party.

The city missionary work at No. 47 Court street includes 8 mothers meeting which is held weekly on Wednesday afternoons at ? o'clock. From twenty to thirty families are connected with this branch of the work, which has during the past year been under the care of the following ladies of the church- es Mrs. A. E. Lines, Mrs. J. Scott, Mrs.
 George M. Hale, Mrs. Fl. A. Lincoln, Mrs. F. c. Sherman, Mrs c. F. Bennett, Mrs. At- water Baldwin, Mrs. J. M. Peck and Mrs. L.
 D. Brown. The members of the meeting are instructed in the cutting and fitting of garments as well as in sewing, mending, &c., and the material for making garments is fur nished at a little less than cost to those who complete at the meetings the garments conn., menced by them there. The members are also visited from time to time at their homes and encouraged and assisted in various ways.
 Yesterday afternoon a tea party was given them at the mission house and between thirty and forty mothers and their children sat down at the we'll spread tables. Six diff ferent nationalities were represented, includ- ing white and colored and Catholic as well ss Protestant A gift of one or more service able articles was made to each of the mothers present. There were plenty of cakes, can- dies &c., for the children, and package of good things was sent to those members who were sick or necessarily absent. Much credit is due to Mrs. Elizabeth Pierce, the matron at 47 Court street, for her willing services on such occasions, as well as to the other ladies of the churches who have this work in their charge, and would gladly wei come others to a share in it's enjoyment.

 THE SKATING RINK.
 One of the chief events of the season a the skating rink was the illumination an6 calico sociable last evening. The large building was thronged in every part and gay and fine scene was presented. All the seats outside the railing were taken, besides which many spectators stood up, and many were accommodated with seats on the skating floor just within the railing. The skaters both ladies and gentlemen, were attired in calico costumes, of which there was great diversity. Many enjoyed the time hugely in watching the spirited scene and noting the costumes, among the more noticeable o1 which were those of MT. Marlin, of the High school, the three Messrs. DeBussy and Edw. Hotchkiss. which were very unique. The illumination was by profusion of Chinese lanterns. The chief attraction was the bril- liant skating by the young lady star secured specially for the occasion All highly en ioyed the entire occasion.

The pedagOgues and gOguesses arrived at
M~oundsville, yesterday morning, from all
parts Of Marshall county. The majority
came by the Is. Il o. road and we note, in
parenthesiS, nary It reduction in fare, much
to the regret OF yc pedagoGue, whose salary
is not surprisingly lavish. The many
teachers were soon registered at the various
caIavanseries Of the town, a large delegation
taking in the Mound City, where mine
hosts reputation is too well known for
mention.
The Institute met promptly at l P. NJ.
Some eXtempOraneOus business, such as ap-

teachers responded by ordering a single

A BLAST FROM BENwOOD
Against the Government Mail system
Hand Shot-GeneraI.

We were mistaken in our statement in
yesterdays issue, that the Government
paid the mail messenger 800 per annum.
1t is even less; that functionary only re-
ceiving S95 100. How long this strike be-
tween this mighty Nation 1--WE spell 1t with
a big n and the b. & o. Il. r. Company is
to last, we have no means at present OF
knowing, but the public would like to see
the messenger restored. We heard a gen
tleman say this morning that if he was to
be deprived OF his mail in this way, he
would r~etaliate by voting the Democratic
ticket. So the officials at Washington had
better beware.
Deputy Marshal, John Harrington, met
with a painful accident this morning.
While cleaning his revolver it accidentally

causing a painful though not dangerous
wound.
The preparations have all been made, the
wedding cake ordered, the license procured
and all the paraphernalias for a high-toned
wedding arranged, to take place one day

The tax levy for city purposes will be 81
cents on the 800 valuation, an increase oil

fact that q party of the officials OF the Ohio

minal facilities, such as freight depot and
passenger station. No conclusion was
reached and nothing was done in relation
thereto. Yesterday a conference was held
between the officials OF the Ohio River
Company and the Panhandle Company
with the same view. A special train on the
Panhandle arrived yesterday afternoon,
