SINGULAR AND SAD ArrAIK.-A day or two after
Judge Elmer sentenced Treadway, atsalem, N. j.,
to be hung for the murder of his wife, little boy,
aged about eight years, whose parents reside in the
neighborhood made enquiry of his parents respect
ing the manner in which condemned criminals are
executed. The parents heedlessly explained the
matter, and shortly afterwards left the lad alone
with small child laying in the cradle asleep. Du
ring the absence of the mother, the boy procured
cord and carefully adjusted it around the neck Of
the sleeping babe, and proceeded to experiment on
the instructions he had received from his parents.
When the mother returned, she found to her sur
prise, that her child was quite dead, having been
choked to death by the rope.

An apology is due from us to this distinguished
and energetic Railroad man, for the manner in
which the part he took in our great Celebration
was laid before the reading public; and we here
assure him and his friends, that it was the result of
accident and not of design. We were taking an
active part in the festivities of Wednesday and
Thursday, full Of thoughts of the PAsT, the PRE-
SENT fullin our view, and the Future, the conse-
quence of that Past and this Present. pictured in
glowing colors 10 our minds; and we could not
confine ourselves TO our office under the ciEcum-
stances by which we were surrounded. The thing
was out of the question-we had not been Wheel
ing men hal we doneso We sent the manuscripts
of the speeches, toass, &C., to our Printers as we
got possession of them, and it so happened that
Mr.. SULLIVAN's name was not written on the very
appropriate sentiment which he read at the Ban
que;,and consequently it was inserted among the
voluntary toasts with the name blank;-and it is
no. to be presumed that our Printers, whc were
not at the Banquet, and who wers devoting their
attention to the duties of the Office, had any
of knowing who had offered particular toast,
which had been sent to them without any name
attached
Mt. SULLIVAN made a neat speech in reply to a
sentiment offered by Mr.. E. n. NoHroN, publish
ed in our paper of Saturday, which he concluded
by offering the following:
The city of Wheeling: With one great railway
resting its terminus in her lap and : II others NOV
ing with iron steps towards her, she may rest her
self in the consciousness of a secured destiny.
Incur Weekly edition for Friday next, will
republish the entire proceedings of the CeIebra-
tionSin corrected form, placing Mr.. SULLIVAN in
proper position, and also containing tbs remarks
of Gov. Johnson at the Court House, which were
unavoidably omitted in the report for our Daily.

TnE SHALL TRADE OF NoREoLK.-It appears by
a statement in the Norfolk News that last year
about 10 hun dred barrels of eggs, each containing
about one hundred dozen, were shipped from that

in which they were packed, is estimated at S2Oper

received for eggs. "A vast amount of oysters, veg
etables and poultry is also annually sent away for
which The sum OF tEree bundled tEoisaad dollars is
a moderate calculation, averaging one thousand
dollars per day throughout the year. One gentle
man. who has devoted himself to the business for
some years, has realized profit of about $4,000.
The quantity of rags for manufacturing purposes
annually sent from the city is also large. One firm
alone sends away about half million ofpounds.
and thu whole amount doesot fall short OF one mil
lion. The cost of these is, oman average, about

oftweniy-fve to thirty five per cent, making the
large sum of about $4,000 as the annual product
of rags.
