Steubrnville has bsoome a sister OF the light

Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and the
Qua er city exchanging ordeal salutations, on
her annexation, with the Iron Chain that
binds the Ocean, Lakes and River. in friend
Is and immediate intercourse, no news Of in

quietly past US, and the sun shines cloudless
and cheerful as love in her Honey Moon,

may it ever be 50.
Steubenville sends her kind love TO her elder
SIS er Wheeling.
