Correspondence Ol the lnlelllgCnCcr'
A few years ago Bellaire was village
Of several hundred inhabitants, and oiler.
rd no induCement to business men. That
"all things have an end, y Is n bit OF wis.
dom rs old as CONTIGUOUS, and Bellaire
suddenly began to grow, and may justly
be considered II rival of the famed Du.
Iuth, claiming at present some $4,000 pop.
ulation. On Saturday last we arrived in
this young city, and for the benefit Of the
world at large, and the citizens Of Wheel.
ing particularly, we made the most Of the
few hours at our disposal.

A picnic was in progress on the hill
north of Bellairc, and those in attendance
seemed to enjoy thGmselvcs-hut 1t cost

LITERATURE AND CHARITY.
Under the head of "curiostcs Of lilera.

which was shown us. II Is printed on
green card board, and rcads-willl the

THE GLORIOUS FUTURE.
Three.Quarlcrs of a mile above BCllaire,
coming towards town, we counted twenty.
two new buildings evidently erected
during the present year,, and some six or
eight now building; but new houses seem.
ell to be as plenty rs blaCkbGrrles, and we
stopped counting them. We are reliably
informed, however, that ut least fifty
buildings have been erected during the
present season. We are writing about
what we know about BellairG, and the
brcvity Of our information is accounted
for (as some reader may have surmised
before this) by the slight fact that we
don't know anything about ii. However,
we cannot do better than to here insert
the views OF an honest and Cnterprislng
citizen on the future prosperity OF his be.
loved corporation:
ave behold, in the grand and mighty
future, traces of greatness. Already rich
mall that contributes greatness we feel and
appreciate our important position In
the appreciation Of our own virtues we
stand without parallel. In the tran.
sccndent light Of our graCCs, all others
seem but dim shadows Of vacancy. Roll.
ing lands shall be broken Rsunder-hills
fall in obedience to the shining spade
beasts of burden shall 60 aud come,
drawing vessels laden with spices and
fruits. Descendants Of Ham shall send
fruits and gums, and we as the centre OF
Il vast shipping circle, will be ceIe.
hrated, powerful, mighty! Foreign na.
lions may point at us in derision; yet, one
day will we raise vegetables from the
dust of their departed greatness |"
AMENDE HONORABLE.
Concerning these things have VIC spo.
ken to you with confidence and perfect
trust If we, in common with the rest
Of Humanity, have erred, dlvinely forgive
and accept the sincere thanks Of the wri'
ter We do not wonder that Bellairetes
are proud of their tOwn-of It's growth
its business, and Its future. But we
would most respectfully call the atten.
ton Of the city parents to the fact that II
is not extensively known for It's neatness
New streets and new pavements are an
evidence Of progress, but In civilized
countries II Is not considered luxury Ia
break ones neck in coming suddenly in
contact with huge bOulders which pro.
lniscuously occupy the space originally
intended for pavenents. On the whole,
we rather like Belairc, and hone that
chance will again afford lis an opportu.
