The road has some good stock upon It, but as
general thing, it is yet unfurnished with the
amount Of resources, with which It is intended
it shall be supplied at an early day. Tho great

During the last day or two. we have converscd

congratulation upon the completion Of the road
to their town. They All assert it rs their be-
lief, that it will throw hundreds Of thousands of
trade into this city every year from Washing

by the G. & p Railroads here, and then reship-

less figure than tho old fashioned way which has
been in vogue up there, of hauling out goods
from Pittsburgh. BE-
We felt highly gratihed at the prospect and
especially at the excellent tone Of feeling which
prevailed there for Wheeling and Wheeling
interests. It behooves our prominent and bust
ness men to cultivate and acquaint themselves
with this feeling, to leave no stone untnrned 10
ccmenti it thoroughly. To this end they should
know what they can do for them. Part of this
they can effect through the medium Of the

ilk, to which they will please listen!
A young gutter-snipe, born and bred
in the Five Points region, and who had
never known that he had any other
name than plain Jack, was hauled one
day by Brother Brace into the commits
sion school, and with him slid two COM
rades, whom he had only known in like
manner, as "Fin" and Eel" The lat

"What is your name %

name. Remember it now p
Then the other friend was put thro'.

All this while Gutter Snipe had been
staring at the odd manner in which his
friends names were being heightened
out. At length, however, a CLEAN of

took the joke-and when asked what
his name was, sarcastcallv answered
