The anncnncement that a new edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary has just been published, containing many new and valuable features, suggests the thought that buying a dictionary is a good deal like buying an egg or a watch a bad one is not cheap at any price. Webster being the standard authority for the English language, he naturally has many imitators, but imitators are usually held at their true worth by the public; who wants a wooden nutmeg, though it may look ever so much like the genuine article? The popularity of Webster is based upon this principle, If you want a handy thing to carry with you, a companion that you can always rely upon, and one that will never tire you, a really vade mecum, we recom mend that you get a copy of tne pocfcet edition of Webster, with its 18,000 words and meanings, rules for spelling, tables of weight and measures, abbreviations, words, phrases and proverbs from the ancient and modern languages. It is printed from new type, and bound in morocco, with tucks, and bright gilt edges, and, when not otherwise obtain able, will be sent by mail, on receipt of one dollar, by the publishers, Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor Co, 138 and 140 Grand street New York.

A Man Shot Down while Defending His Son. Cummins Grove, a short distance above Bellaire, was the scene of a free fight, on Saturday afternoon, between a number of roughs who attended a picnic given by the Leisure Boat Club of Wheeling. From what we can learn, James Smith, soil of Daniel Smith who was shot, got into a fight with a man named Nich-dls, and in the fracas the latter was pretty badly beaten. By this time Daniel Smith went in among the fighters to care for his son, and when Nicholls saw the father advancing toward him with a knife in his hand, he drew his revolver, intending to use it in case of necessity; but at that moment William Clator, a friend of Nicholls', snatched the pistol from his grasp, and, opening tire uion iHnith, shot him, the ball penetrating his bowels. After the shooting, Nicholls, William Clator and his brother, Jasper, jumped upon and beat Smith terribly about the head and chest On Sunday Nicholls surrendered himself to the police in Wheeling, and on Tuesday morning the Clator brothers surrendered to Justice Mix.

The wounded man was conveyed to his residence across the river, and, after suffering much pain, died on Monday afternoon. On Tuesday, Justice Mix held an in quest which was continued until to-day (Wednesday) from which we have learned no particulars. The nght occurred on the river bank. and some doubt was expressed whether the offense was committed in Ohio or West Virginia, whose jurisdiction ex tends to ordinary low water mark on the Ohio side. As all the parties concerned were from West Virginia, Prosecuting Attorney Eaton, of this county, waived the question so far to permit the West Virginia authorities to prosecute the offenders iu the court at Wheeling, where it is likely the question will be determined.

In case of a failure over there on the ground of a lack of jurisdiction, the case will come to our court of of HOT YOUB MARBLE AND CRANITE AT ST. CLAIKSVILLC, AND SAVE TEN PER CENT. Sest Italian KarMe, Scotch xJL Amer ican granite Monuments, ueoa- stone, sc. cone in Best style. EVANS CUliRAN.

Hoire et aL Marshaling of leins and order for sale of property, to Special Master Samuel nuies a To of of of 4, Local Wool Trade.

Since our last report, the local wool market has continued active and prices have stiffened up until 35 cents is freely bid. and considerable of the fibre has been bought by our buyers at that anil lower figures. The presence during the week of Eastern speculators and repre sentatives of some of the largest manu factunng establishments here among our wool-growers and buyers, had a ten dency to exite the market and make growers cautious. By our regular report our readers will observe that in Philadelphia the demand for wool is active and firm, with an up ward tendency. It looks now as though prices in this locality might reach 3734 cents, but of this, asj we have before intimated, growers must judge.

Buyers give out here that 35 cents is the outside limitand that all offerings are not taken at that figure. We may add that some of the buyers are withdrawing from this neighborhood. alleging that they cannot afford to pay the prices at which wool is held by own- The usual serenity of St Clairsville was disturbed on Tuesday night between and 10 o'clock by a couple of- pistol shots ou the street nearly opposite the St Clair HoteL The firing grew out ef controversy between a young man in the employ of the St Clair, named John F. McEntyre and George Weir, of this place. The former charged Weir with circulating false and defamatory reports concerning him and a certain young lady of this place, and asked him to retract, and upon his refusal to do so, hot words ensued, and Weir drew a revolver and fired at McEntyre head when within a few feet of him.

The shot failing to take effect another one aimed apparent ly at the belt was bred witn the same result After some further parleying between the parties, Weir made his es cape down the alley near the Postotfice, but was arrested yesterday on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and had hearing before Mayor Davies, with what result at this writing, we are not advised. It is urged in defense of Weir for the shooting that he was threatened terribly by McEntyre, and that the shooting was in self-defense. It is with regret that we make mention this occurrence, as the people of this place had hoped that a new era had dawned in George's career. Hailstones and Thunderbolts. Madison, Ini, June 9 A terrific rain-storm passed over this section this evening, with thunder and lightning, during which Richard Layton, a fisherman, and three boys were struck by lightning.

Layton recovery is considered doubt- fuL St. Lons, June 9 A Lawrence, Kan sas, dispatch says a violent storm passed over that city this evening about five o'clock. The steeple of the Baptist Church was blown down, the roof of the State University building seriously damaged, and a numlier of other buildings unroofed. Miss Fannie Carman was seriously hurt liy falling debris, and several other persons severely inju red. A Topeka (Kansas) dispatch says: A severe hailstorm passed over a portion this county during the afternoon do ing considerable damage.

A strip of country was injured about a mile wide. Hogs, chickens, were killed, and the crops badly cut up. A special to the 'Commonwealth from Wichita says hailstones weighing from five to twelve ounces fell thick and fast doing great injury to the crops in the immediate vicinity of Wichita, and metallic roofs and glass in that vicinity are badly damaged. Children's Day. The services at theJVI.

E. Church last Sabbath were more' than ordinarily interesting, and while adapted especially to the children the Sabbath School, awakened a live interest in parents. The Church was more handsomely decorated than on any previous occasion within our knowledge. Around the altar and in front of the pulpit was a succession of high arches trimmed with evergreens studded with (lowers. Surmounting the middle and chief arch was a beautiful floral crown.

In the background, on the pulpit, was a handsome tloral cross, and on either side were vases of flowers and lovely ferns, presenting altogether the appearauce of -a bower of enchanting beauty. On the wall to the rear of the choir gallery, and visible through the floral beauty, could be discerned in took them in His arms and blessed them." The Church was thronged. The singing by the Glee Club was well received, and deservedly so. A special programme of exercises had been arranged by Superintendent A. T.

McKelvy, which was most satisfactorily carried out A short address was delivered by Rev. J. H.Conkle, on "Consider the lilies," which abounded in happy illustrations and beautiful thoughts. The same may be said of the address by the Superintendent Among the noticeable things was the music by some of the little girls of the school. In "Happy Hours," the solo by Delia Merritt, and the duet by Misses Ollie and Jessie Morton, together with the chorus, were beautifully rendered, and "The Star of Bethlehem," a duet by the Misses Morton, was a choice gem, sang most sweetly.

The service was excellent throughout, and the morning hour was most agreeably and profitably spent. The M. folks may well feel a just pride in their Sabbath School. Iiegal Notice. BELMONT COMMON PLEAS.
