once. in train ofseyeu fall passenger cars three
eynrtss baggage, mail and wood cars, besides
locomotive with eight feet driving wheels we were
favored with the desired seat; and while The Tram
rolled past house, we heard reaLy louu anu
bTnnt bark Of a dog As the last car passed on its
,vav we, observed little black dog about ga teet
from the traek his tail cuTled up so tight that his
hind legs could scarcely touch the ground lis neao
up, and its little pink eyes glstenlng and saying,
az nlain as dogs eyes could Say:-"Dld not
make it run? We had nearly forgotten the incl
dent, until we saw long article in the intethgen,
Ger ofyesterkay. Wefeel sorry for 1t that 1t should
have reminded us Of It. We have never moved
TiEaes and GGyete.
Aud this is the Proef of the charges which the
author of the above has been making upon us
for months before the Intelligencer started, up
TO the present time. WeInade fair and candid
statement Of them ON Tuesday, and pronounced
them false anlIcallGd Tor the proof or the amende
honorable and the above is the reply! This is his
dignity, this is his enlightened morality" Com
pairing himself to "a tais. ef seUen fun passenger

vanity? 1--WE have never moved from a steady
course IN relation to it, $he Intelligencer) nor
will we." No, he never has moved from steady
course Of the most unmitigated talsehOOds in re-
gard to the 1nteligencsr and its Projectors, and
according to the above, he aeUcr DiH We shall
see what we shah see if he persists in this course.

of the papers years ago) lisa matter Of taste. We
can relate an incident" which while it lays

that dispity by which he assumes to look with dis
.tlain on sreEything1ittle.
In 1851, we published E Directory of Wheeling,
comprising history of the City, DO. When it
was announced that the corner stone of the Wash
ington Hall was TO! be laid, he, desiring to hand
down his name TO --sunborn generatons,'' an
nounced that he would issue history of Wheel
ing in his paper, which he was preparing with
''great care and labor" He got possession ofthe
proof sheets of our work, and on the 4th of July,
1851 his paper appeared with the promised history,
stolen soul and body from our 1oOrk, with flourish
about the immense labor il had cost him Not de-
string our subserbeEsto suppose that they were
paying NC for any thing we had copied from the
Times, we requested bin to correct the " error"
This he did not do, but TEO!e wholecolumn, in his
usual style, .tobsf7g'she public, and let himself
down easy, winding up it'll fulsome puff of
the work. The question now is, when the hand
of resurrection shall reacn the corner stone OF
Washington Hall, who will that history belong

We hagea 'ffew NOR incidents of ths " same

enormous dignity which he assumes whenever there

their eyes. These small matters, we admit, are
ordinarily urxo rthy of notice. But when one
