Wheeling Female College.
Editors of the Register:


At meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Wheeling Female College
attention was called to the statement
made in the public prints of PROPOSE
ton to sell or transfer the College build
ings and grounds to the State for use
As an Asylum for the Deaf Dumb and
the Blind, and recognizing the effect OF
-uch statement to be injurious to the
institution, which was leased some
months ago by Rev. w. H. Morton to
he continued as a Female College, the
following entry was ordered to be made
upon the minutes:
THAT no consent was ever given by
this Board or by the stockholders au-
thorizing such sale or transfer, and
that no action has been had looking to
any interference with the lease made
with Rev. Mr.. Morton.
ISirned1 c. D. HUBBARD,
President.
In addition to the above, at the re-
quest of numerous friends, have de-
cided to make a pnbhc statement in
order to correct any misapprehension
that may exist in the public mind in re-
card to the future of the Wheeling Fe-
male College.
The announcement in your columns
of Friday that the college buildings,
furniture and grounds had been offered
To the State az an ASYLUM for the Deaf,
Dumb and the Blind, surprised no one
more than myself 1t is needless to say
that such a proceeding was wholly un-
warranted, as neither myself nor the
Board OF Directors had even been con-
suited on the subject
No proposition has even vet been re-
ceived, and none can now be consist
emily entertained, and 40 far as am
connected with the institution the
Wheeling Female College is not for
sale.
Nv engagements with teachers and
lecturers as well as with the patrons
and truseees of the College, and the
forward state of nv arrangements for
assuming my duties at the close of the
present College year June l6thl are
all of such character that | could moi
dispose of my interests in the College
without large pecuniary sacrifice
Besides, there are other considerations
upon which no pecuniary estimate can
be glazed that utterly preclude such an
idea.
In this matter ! appeal to all lover;
of justice and to all the public spirited
citizens of Wheeling who, while they
desire to see the Deaf, Dumb and Blinc
Asylum located here, are not willing tc
see it planted on the ruins of an estab
lished educational institution.
W. H. MORTON.

NEWSPAPER EDITING.-Few persons,
who have not been connected for any
length of time with a daily newspaper,
can t,r aware of the ceaseless strain up
un the capabilities Of those whose
mrnding duty it is to furnish quota Of
news every day in the year-winter,
spring. summer and fall-to supply the
demands Of the great public; nor can
il be estimated until it is seriously un-
dertalen. Rain or shine, sick or well,
cheerful or gloomy-however unpre-
uared the mind may he for the d!urnal
rask-the columns of paragraphs must
come. and must he furnished within
given hours. Somebody has written q
very effective poem about the Slave
Of the lamp" Could it have occurred
70 him that he was painting the portrait
Of an editor?
The man who. troubled with the
caaoethes ScriJendi, takes his pen in
hand when in the vein, and indites a
paragraph or communication to the
press, thinks, As he complacently reads
his cffusion the next morning, that after
all, it ia no such great work to write up
a newspaper; but let him bend down to
it a year and be obliged to furnish mat
ter for the typos every day, and he will
begin to feel some charity for the eG-
tor, and instead of judging him harshly,
rather fall to wondering that he repeats
himself so seldom-says so little that
is not absolute trash, and finds so many
topics TO write upon.

A CARD.

A coterie of strangers from Puritan Land, located
on Canal street, and styling itself, through some
authority or other, the BOARD OF HEALTH have
seen fit to drag the name of the undersigned into
such unwarranted publicity that he deems an ex-
PLANTATION to his friends and the community ob!iga-
tory
On the twenty-seventh of May I was called to
see sea.faring man of Northern birth, who had
been taken sick in British Honduras of a peculiar
fever. but which developed itself after arrival in
this port to yellow fever the patient dying on the
fifth day of treatment. The case being an i'm
ported one, and not likely to prove infectious,
ald not deem it either proper polite to give
any undue publicity. Upon this point it appears
the Puritan Board Of Health thought differently.
