the following resolution was offered anu
adopted:
ReSolred, That committee of two be

ST. PATRICK's DAY.-The celebration
of st. Patrick's Day was generally OBJ
served by our fellow citizens of Irish
birth. About o'clock one of the larg
est professions of the st. Patrick's So
ciety ever seen in Wheeling was formed,
and, headed by brass band, paraded
through the principal streets of the
city. The long line of fine looking men
arrayed in green sashes, with.the Amer
lean colors in front, the banner of the
Society in the centre and the Irish flag
showing the harp and sunburst bring
up the rear, made a splendid appear
ance. ~
At night the lecture by Rev. Robert
Keleher, of st. Vincents College, on st.
Patrick's misfon to Ireland, was largely
attended, and wa, listened to with
marked attention. The learned and
eloquent divine stated many new and
interesting facts in relation to the
Saints mission to the natives.
Despite the stormy day those cslebra-
ting seemed to enjoy themselves hugely,
decently, and in order.
In this connection we would say we
are sorry to know that the selections
we made from the writings of certain
Irish Catholic poets, whose names we
gave with their rhymes on st. Patrick's
Day, have offended one or two of our
friends. We are sorry for this, for
nothing could be further from our feel.
ipgs than to offend any of them, and
our estimate of the Irish character has
been that they are too chivalrous to
take offsnse where none was intended
We regret that we were mistaken in the
high opinion We bad of every man who
wearS

The green, immortal shamrock.

SPECIE PAYMENTs.-We had heard sc
much about the resumption Of specie
payments by certain business houses OF
this city, that we determined to inves.
tigate the matter for ourself. Looking
over the various propositions, that OF
that eminent old Teut, Ed. Booking,
struck us as the most favorable. He
proposed to give specie in change equal
in amount to the sum of the purchase
That suited us exactly. So we went
into his drug store, and purchasing
ninety-fve cents worth, and gave him
a dollar bill, confidently expecting to
get ninety-fve cents specie in change
But we didn't. Booking slung u out a
silver five cent piece with gorgeous
recklessness, but we had to trust him
for the other ninety cents. We don't
want any more specie.
