New VS.. OLD CIGARs.-The question of how
old cigar should be before being smoked is
often disputed one. Cubans like green c-
gar. The workmen who ought to know, smoke
the cigars as they make them. If you go to
certain well known cigar store in new York,
already quite celebrated for its Cuban cigars
made in the city, and buy cigar there, before
handing it to you the very courteous Cuban will
with great deliberation first apply the cigar to
his ear. You ask, " What is that for?' "To
see, or hear, how dry it is. If too dry it will
snap very short can hear it. green cigar
is soft and makes noise" How old ought
cigar to beP' " In two or three weeks, in this
climate cigar is dry enough-longer than that
does not improve it,

fer Sargent to FELTON,. OF Felton's 5, three pre-
fer Sargent to Cole. OF the doubtful one

in every respect. Hale has no votes. Edger-
tons name is no longer mentioned, and Phelps
has retired" An adjourned Republican caucus
was to meet last Wednesday evening for the

She was packed IN a box and sent of TO

twenty years the center Of the business
within the four or five miles including
those places and this will be with them
and Wheeling will be n suburb, II
Wheeling wants to be the future center,
she must develop population and manu-
factures above as well as below In aid
ing that necessary work, this road would
have value in the next ten or twenty
years that cannot be calculated.
Aside from permanent advantages like
these, the building Of this road would be
Of very great immediate incidental bene.
fit to this city. 1t was estimated by Prof
PRNDLEToN that it would require an ex-
pendilure Of $7OO,Cnh to build this
road from Wheeling to Holidays
Cove. Half of this would be expended by
Brooke and Ohio counties. Probably not
over hundred or hundred and fifty
thousand OF this money would be loaned
by our own capitalists. The remainder
would come from the money centers of
the East, Between five and six hundred
thousand dollars would therefore be
brought into these two counties from
abroad, and would be expended and
thrown into circulation, within year, A
large sum would bo expended directly in
the city, and the greater part Of the rest
would find It's way here.
The effect OF this would be to refresh
and stimulate every branch of business.
1t would be lelt in reviving prosperity
here that would improve the fortunes OF
almost every man in the city, that would
directly increase trade, improve values,
and encourage our somewhat apathetic
and discouraged people to strike out into
new fields for fresh sources Of prosperity.
Nor would the effect be temporary, 1t
would probably be the beginning Of re.
action from present depression, which,
awakening new energies, would carry
Wheeling forward from one enterprise TO
another, into Il new era Of activity and
permanent growth,

son of the year, when wehave many cold,
windy days, horses, when left standing in
our streets for any length of time, should
have some sort OF covering thrown over
them to keep them warm and comfortable
and prevent them from becoming chilled
Careful drivers will always do this, and
in passing through our streets u Is very
gratifying to notice so many horses 50
kindly cared for, indicating the pleasant
sympathy and interest Of the owner in
the welfare of his beast. There are those,
however, who possess so little sympathy
and care for their animals, that they never
think OF protecting them against cold even
when sweaty from hard driving or over
work. Such people ought never to have
the charge of q horse, but ms this cannot
always be regulated, they should be com.
