seemed TO be the opinion Of those who
Waited the grounds on Saturday, and
Judging from the large number Of lots
already taken, some two hundred or

generally h Of the same opinion. The
advantages most stEikingiy manifest

the view OF making Greenwood IS near
As possible an approximateEto 70! what its
namesake Is In New York, and what
Spring Grove IL in Cincinnati. Twenty
years hence, when Wheeling grows 10
be a city Of metropolitan dimensions, 1t
Is expected that Greenwood will be one
Of the admired resorts of our vicinity,
and one of the Institutions OF which the
citizens will feel proud, Its location
removes Il from he chances Of ever be-
ing oTeFFun by the demands of the city
or Of public improvements for space,
and Affords the public thR caEtain as
surance that until the coming of that
day when the t1eEIEt1. and the
sea shall give mp thei1s dead, I"
Its precincts will ~ ever. remain q
sacred resting place for the sleepers who
! lie within. As yet the enterprise Is
only just begun All the drives and
walks are NOT laid out. 8 But the work,
Of digging, building, graveling. plant
Ing and oEBnH1ehiiBg, is being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible A year
from now the grounds VIII present an
attractive appearance. There aremany
picturesque designs to be carried ont,
such as rustic bridges, fountains, reser-
Votrg, &c, hiIof which win greatly add
to- hd pleasure Of EisttorB, and 10 the
natural beauties OF the location.
