The WEST GRERSwICH MURDER.-Con ion
Of tho MWrtlersr.-Our readers have already
been appraised of the finding ofthe dead body Of
Mr. Arnold Lewis in field in West Greenwich,
on Wednesday last under circumstances which
left no doubt of his having been murdered. On
Tuesday, the 18th, the day before the body was
found, he stopped at the house of Gorton w.
Briggs, in Exeter. While at Briggs house he
paid for an axe, and remarked when he put his
up his pocket-bOok that he had fifty dollars in
it This was said in the hearing of woman
named Sybil Corey, who wasin the house at the
time He left ConnellS between 8 and o'clock,
p. NJ, for jeremiah Franklin's, across lots and
before he reached the latter place was waylaid,
murdered and robbed. Suspicion led to young
man named Shubeal Corey, alias Baker, and his
mother, the woman above named, and they were
both arrested ON Thursday. Since their COM
mitmcBt, yong Corey has confessed the murder.
He states that he killed Mr.. Lewis with four
feet stick of wood; and told where he had con-
called his pocket book, which was found by the
sheriff of the county at the place indicated. Mr..
Lewis leaves nine children. Corey, the muir
Cerer, is only nineteen years of age.
The woman undoubtedly took an active part
in the murder, as her clothing, aswell as that Of
her son. was found, on examination, to be bloody.
Mr.. Lewis was formerly highly respectable
citizen of the town of Exeter, and Brigadier Gen
eral of the State Militia. Of late years he has
been irregular in his habits.-PrOrtdence Post,

OUR PAPER.

Our friends will readily see that the inside of
our paper this morning is printed on new and
beautiful type, which were manufactured for us
twas our intention to have come out entirely
in new type to-day, but We wercp prevented from
doing so, because VIC could not get sufficient
number of cOmpOsitors to reset our paper in
time. We have the material on hand, and will
renew the type on our outside, at the earliest
possible day we can do so, with our present force
We have other important improvements in
contemplation, which will be carried out during
the present month, IN the appearance of our pa
per, and in new features in its contents. The
Projectors will spare neither labor nor expense
to furnish the citizens of Wheeling and vicinity
with 3 paper in every way meeting their wants.
feeling satisfied that the great expense to which
they have gone, and are still going, will be fully
made up to them by subscriptions, and adver-
Using and job-ottice patronage.
At the beginning of new year, is an appro-
pirate time to subscribe for paper, and though
for several months past our list has been largely
on the increase, still we hope our friends will
not forget US during the holiday sports, but send
US in the names of good men as subscribers to
the Daily, Tri-Weckly, or Weekly Intelliscncer
While our patronage is probably better than any
other paper in Western Virginia. we do not re-
receive that generous support capable of being
extended to us by city so large and embracing
SO much trade and intelligence, as Wheeling
We have invested heavy amount of capital in
our Office; with it we intend to advocate Wheel
ing and Wheeling interests; and we will rise or
fall with the interests of our city.

ANTIQUITY OF THE POLKA: A NorE FOR THE
LADIEs.-The description of the larolta in Sir
John Davies poem on dancing the orchestra
Q5g6) shows that it must have closely resem-
bled the dance whiTh we fondly bost of as one
of the great inventions of the nineteenth centu-
rary. 1t runs as follows:
wet is there one, the delightful kind
A lofty jumping leapiug round,
Where arm IN arm two dancers are entwined,
Or whirl themselves with strict endorsements bound
And still their feet anapRs do sound;
An anapHst is all their musics song,
Whose first two feet short and third is long,
The ''anapast" is conclusive; it points exact,
" to the peculiar nature of the Polka, the pause
on the third step. Moreover, it appears that as
there is no espccialfg for the Polka, so there
was none for the loyolta; for it is classed among
those dances
wherein that dancer greatest praise has
Which, with best order can all orders shun;
For everywhere he vantOnly must range,
And turn and wind with unexpected change"
Who can doubt after that? The Polka was
certainly danced before Queen Elizabeth!
To this valuable historical parallel may add
that the Galliard and Coranto also were appear
anty danced ad li6itum, observing only par
ticular measure,) just as our waltz and galop
also are:
"PoT more diverse and more pleasing show,
swift. wandering dance he (Love) did invent,
With pdssdges WRc6TtGia to and fro,
Yet with n certain answer and consent

THE DEAD YEAR.

There is waited from the Midnight
A voice up through the air,
And the pale and holy starlight
Looks down upon despair;
There's murmur on the river
An eeho:on the hill,
And the voices hushed forever,
We think We hear them still!
There is mourning in the wildwood,
And In the city's throng;
AMI in the voice Of childhood,
And manhood's steruer song.
There is wailinS on the ocean,
And SORROW on the shore,
And we think that every motion
Signs, INSTRUMENTATION
There is mourning mid the lowly,
And in the primcrly hall
Where weep the humble and the holy,
Or regal banners fall;
And wherever winds are sweeping,
Wherever waters roar,
There is wailing-there ia weeping,
And signing evermore!
Who, who has the heart ofsorrow,
Where does the cypress twineP
Mani whate'er thy hopes tomorrow,
That heritage is thine!
Saw ye, in the year that's persisted,
Saw what you most adore,
Tade-the beautiful the cherished,
To come to you no more!
And from ontarlo's pillows
Prom vermOn'ts snowy crest,

SavaunAs on her breast,
Saw yet not a nation dropping,
Her stars with cypress tWiueL.
Mourning, Ger their collins STOPPING.

Gone, the brave, the lion hearted;
The erring and the fraiI;
Hopes and idols have departed;
But, must ye needs hewar!
Gone, many glorious vision
Which time may not restore,
And voices through your dreams slysian,
Sigh, "Never-nevermore!"
