NoT STRICTLY TRUE.-We made q
brief notice, yesterday morning, Of what
we presumed 10 be q fact, that Messrs.
Ames & FItzSImmons had company en-.
gagged TO open the season in HAmilton'S
Opera House in September. We based
our notice on what we deemed good au-
thorilY, but were mistaken, and cheerfully
make this correction. Mr.. James Fitz
simmons Is sole lessee and will be sole
manager Of Hamilton's Opera House.
Mr. Ames nor no other man has any
thing TO do with II. The company Is
engaged and the season will open on the
9th OF October. The stock company en-.
braces some Of the best talent ever
brought TO Wheeling, and such stars as
Edwin Adams, John E.. Owens, Maggie
Mitchell are engaged for short seasons
Mr.. FitzsimmoDs promises tina: he will &c.
cure the best talent and most noted stars
10 the country, and the character Of the
performances will at all times be some
thing far beyond what has hitherto been
seen 10 our city. Among the other rare
treats offered is an opera season, the
AIMEE French Opera Boufe troupe having
been engaged. ..

A WHEELING LECTURER IN Our CRY.
We learn that Miss Alexander, some
years ago resident Of our city, the same
young lady that was 80 highly lauded By
her audience and the press Of Chicago for
her lectures in that city, on Mormonism,
has been here for several days on visit
10 some OF her friends. We are not aware
that she intends lecturing here, but we
would ask whether It would not be ad.
visable for some one Of our associations
to engage her, II possible, to do 50. From
the high reputation this lady sustAins as
a lecturer, we have no doubt but that the
citizens generally would be much pleased
to have an opportunity OF hearing some
thing OF Mormon life, from one who has
witnessed It, and can tell 1t as she does.
For ourselves we say we should be glad
to hear IL

p, W.&K. R.R., while at work grading
the road bed near the glass house in North

WHERLIEG.-MuCh has been written
within the past few years in relation 70
tue origin Of the name Of our city. Sew
eral ways were given by correspondents
Of the different papers as the true way Of
It's origin. In looking over copy OF the
first directory ever published Of the city,
kindly furnished US by Mr.. Louis stiLel,
We find the following, which we think In
all probability gives the correct origin Of
the word:
wheeling WAS known as q place Oi
some importance rs far back as l776, for
by law made by Congress that year,
Ebenezer Zane, celebrated hunter, NOAH
Zane, and his brother Jonathan, received
the cession Of certain lands in Ohio, gu
condition that they should open Il bride
track from Wheeling, in Virginia, 70
Maysville, Kentucky. Immediately above
the mouth Ol Wheeling creek, there used
TO stand fort, serving as frontier post
during the WAITS with the Indians"
"Howeyer, In addition TO the above &C.
count given Of the first notices Of Wheel.
ipV a very intelligent merchant Of this
civ describes that in very early time, and
doubtless anterior 10 that mentioned
above, Circumstance took place, which
presents the strongest probability OF the
iirst notice of this spot by white man,
and the best data demOnstTatiVe Of the
circumstance from which the name OF
Wheeling was conferred upon the city"
"a European gentleman in tho capacity
Of catholic priest, direct from Europe,
OF the name d Wheelan, which was bis

sionary excursion through the United
States, among the Rborignies Of this COun.

THURSDAY morning at nine o'clock
an extraordinary meteorological phe-
nomenon amazed the people of Memphis.
Snow fell rapidly, in large flakes, for
twenty minutes, while the sun bRthed
the city and majestic river in brilliant
light. Last night the rain fell heavily
and rapidly for twenty minutes or
longer, and during this time the stars
never looked down upon the deluged
earth more benignantly, or waved their
bright lanterns more perceptibly above
the streets Of the drenched but sleeping
city. While the sun was shining snd
snow was falling Thursday morni n
the hall of the Peabody Hotel was
Ihronged, and a curious philosopher
suggested the possibility Of seeing q
rainbow born Of a snowstorm. But
there was no rainbow in the west. On
the contrary, the dense forests that
crown the lowlands were blsckened by
shadows of clouds, and here and there,
where sunbeams pierced the mists and
fell upon the somber trees, they were
ziecked with gold and shone resplen-
Gently as if ribbed with broad bars Of
gold. This Of ours is an extraordinary
climate, in which the rigor Of hyperbo-
rean latitudes is merged into the soft
ness Of tropical breathings that sweep
upward from the Gulf North and south
here adjust a conflict in nature,
more enduring, it seems, and surely
more pleasing than that which, notlong
ago, cost uears, and blood, and treasure.

sinful daughters of Eve. TiltOn tells us
she married, in her fourteenth year, a
man who became a confirmed and hope
less drunkard; a man that staggered
home every night to beat and kick his
wife; that she lived with this husband
fourteen years, in the utmost poverty
and suffering; that she then obtained
divorce, and some years afterward mar
ried a sober man; that she and this
sober husband never failed in pity and
compassion for this drunken, divorced
husband; that when he fell in the gut
ters they picked him up, when naked
they clothed him, when hungry they
fed him. The demon drink rendered
him utterly unable TO take care of him.
self; he was the father of her children,
she had once loved him, she could not
but feel it was her duty to watch over
him. For this, Tilton says, the world
accused her of living with two husbands.
In all probability, had Mrs. Wood
hulls first husband been sober, we'll
behaved gentleman, making home
happy, we should never have heard her
name. So drink, net divorce, was the
lever that pushed her to the unparalleled
position she now occupies.
l reiterate my opinion that drink
causes more divorces than any other
one thing. 1t caused the WoodhulPs;
it made King Ahaseurus divorce the no.
bic Vashti. Old Daniel had been deal
ing freely with the fisgons of wine that
day he flew into such pet with Mrs.
Michal David and put her away for
ever, and for nothing but because she
did not admire his style of dancing!
