Wheeling, Va, is one of the oddestof all
places. The batelligencer of that city gives
the following sketch, vouching for its accu-
racy: I'VE saw yesterday going up toward
the upper ferry a team of four animals--a
horse, a pony, mule. and d bull The
horse had the heaves, the pony was blind,
the mule was lame, and the bull had no pro-
vision for fly time In the wagon, which
was an ordinary one, sat a white man, a
crippled negro and tame skunk. The
skunk was firmly bound with wisp OF straw
The white man held the lines. the team
held its own, and the niger held the skunk.
