The weather waa clear and clou dy at intervals. I&TOca reader! should Dot forget the Coion meeting which takes place at West Alexander on the first of next month. It is expected to be a grand demonstration. t&~Tau Fifth and Sixth Wards Union Club will meet at the American Hall this evening at 7 o'clock. A fall attendance is deaired, as business of importance will be presented. Sl&~Wa learn that a man's hand and a portion of an arm was fished out of the river below this city on Monday. Cpnn one of the fingers waB a plain gold ring and upon the arm there was a representa tion of an axe pioked in India ink. taJTA Stray Letter.?There is a letter at the boat store of Booth, Battelle & Co., written from a camp near Poplar Chnreh, by Barnard Farrell to Mrs. Eliza Bell care of W. J. C- Anderson. The person to whom the letter is addressed is not known. f^^RsTCBKiD.?A yonng man named Riley, son of Michael Riley, of this city, who has been for some time in the rebel army, returned home a few days ago. He has taken the oath of allegiance aod we understand that he returned with the as surance that he would be permitted to re main without being subject to arrest and imprisonment. J^-Kickid Odt.?A young man by the name of Coroelins, for alledged disorderly condoct, waa kicked oat ot the Malta House by Herman Renner. Oornelins felt "pat oat" about it and swore oat a warrant for Renner's arrest. Renner was fined $5 and costs by Aid. Dnlty, and at Mr. R's. instance Cornelia* was also arrested and fined for disorderly conduct. Cf&*QBAPis.?We learn that while the grape crop in this vicinity is quite, if not more abundant than ever before, they will not prodace such good wine as asnal. They lack a sufficient proportion of sac charine. They did not ripen well. There has been too much rain daring the fall, and not enough sunshine and warm weath er. Some of the owners have been send ing a great many grapes east, where they find a very ready sale. They command sixteen cents a pound in the eastern cities, and at this rate the grower realizes a handsome profit after paying the freight and for the boxes in which the grapes are shipped. Abchdakt Yield.?There is no estimating the immense yield ot frait and vegetable] on Wheeling Island this year. It is the most productive spot of gronnd to be found anywhere in tha country. A gentleman who ought to be a good guesser upon the subject aays that the orchards on the Island have yielded this year at least ten thonsand barrels of apples, be eides an abundance of grapes, fruits of all kinds and vegetables by Ihe wagon load. Ooe portion of the Island is a perfect wil derness and the trees are bending to the ground with their weight of fruit. The visitor, after enteringlthe orchards is com pletely lost so far as he is dependent upon hi* sight, for one can scarcely see a rod in any direction. 09"Circuit Coubt.?The jury in the case of the State vs. Emanuel Welchaas charged with shooting at with an attempt to kill James M. Jackson, returned into oonrt yesterday morning with the follow ing verdict. "We, the jurors, flod the prisoner gailty of an attempt to commi* involuntary manslaughter." We are not clear as to bow tman would go about "at tempting to to commit "involuntary man slaughter" butthejary heard the evidenoe and we suppose they know. The jury fined Welchaas $1. The case of the State against Michael Srannan, charged with oatr*ging:the per son of a woman by the name of Cllne was called ap, but owing to the fact that a ma terial witness was taken suddenly ill, was continued nntll December. f^-Taa Grand MoClru.a> Pow Wow, aboot which there has been such an im mense amonnt of dramming and blovia ting, take* place to-day. Some doxen or more distingnished Copperheads of the conntry have been announced to speak, bat it is not likely that any of them will be present. Sunset Cox met with.a streak o{ bad lack oat in Indiana the other day; the heart of Bramlette of Kentucky is not in the cause; Prince John Tan Buren can't leave home; Reverdy Johnson wonldn't salt here oa account of his extreme "ab olition" proclivities expressed in the last Senate, and it is more tban probable that the list of speakers will be so insignificant that the inevitable and Fallitaffian Bill Montgomery will ornament the head in stead ot the tail of it. We understand that the lately defeated Cop* in Ohio and Pennsylvania are coming over in consider able delegations, so that we should not b< surprised if the meeting should tarn ontts be the largest one the McClellanitea have had, if not the molt respectable. JQTA Good Draft Joke.?A abort time >revioa8 to the draft, a yoang maa highly ixcited at the prospect of drawing a prize? tad havivg a "friend In court" in the per lon of a military officer, besought him to tdopt some plan to get him ouc of the icrape. Ia eider to qaiei the apprehea lions of the joung man, the officer assured lim that his name would be strioken from he rolls, although be knew he could do tothing of the kind. After this assurance he joung man seemed perfeotlj contented, opposing, of course, that his name was ?ctually stricken from the rolls. Many tames were drawn, bat the young man's tame was not among the number. His de igbt was so great, that upon meeting his nilltary friend, he insisted opon presenting lim with a suit of clothes of the value of 5100. We would be pleased to insure any mmber of individuals against the draft ipon like terms. I^^Ghesteuts.?Those ^delioious nuts ilike relished by old and young, are re narkably plenty this year, and are large, lonnd and finely flavored. Speaking of ihestnuts the Johnstown, Pa., Tribxme says: "Never within the recollection of the ildest inhabitant, has the crop of chestnuts seen so heavy ia this part of the State as tis this season. In the southern part of Jambria county and in Somerset county, Farmers actually gather them by the wag in load. During the present week we ha?a leen at the same moment out of our office vindow a four horse wagon and a three lorse wagon loaded with bags of ohest ants. Owing to the immense supply of .heae nuta the price obtained for them prom dealers here has been reduced to $2 i bushel. It may still fall lower." Ohesnuts are purchased along the line >f the Baltimore and Ohio rail road at $2,50 per bushel, and are sold here in the :ity, at five cents a glass. They are said be exceedingly abundant in the mouu> ains and the men who gather them are laid to be making a good thing of it. NOTICE.
