will pick the leaves all off and eat them,

A BEAUTIFUL ARRAT.-As We passed
along Main street yesterday, we drop
ped in at the Dry Goods House OF
Messrs. I. Blum e. Bro, to examine
some OF the great bargains SO much
talked OF by the ladies. The goods
are all OF this seasons style, and are
going off rapidly. Gu, friend Blum
informed US that they.wouid commence
their closing out sale of suits this morn
ing. Going up in this department we
found everything arranged in most
tas,ful manner. We had no idea that
such beautiful suits could be found
here. The room is elegantly trimmed
and has the appearance OF a great open
ing rather than closing out sale. Every.
thing is marked in plain figures, and
the prices are less than cost Of manu-
featuring. Mr.. Blum will personally
conduct this sale, and would be pleased
to see his customers and the public
generally call on him. We bespeak

they offer their machines to the people

DESIRABLE RESIDENCE PROPERTY
Augustus Pollack, Esq, has determin-
ed 10 offer the lots in his addition TO
Wheeling Island to purchasers at $500
each, thus offering chance to all to
procure home on the handsomest part
Of the Island at a very little outlay.
Pollack's addition lies on the northern
part OF the Island, the highest part OF it
In fact. There is no more danger OF
overflow there than on this side OF the
river, for when the lots OF this addition
are under water there will not be much
dry ground in Centre Wheeling. There
are Que hundred and eighty-three lots
for sale Oh terms that cannot but be
advantageous to purchasers. The streets
are wide, ranging from forty to sixty
feet, and the lots thirty by one hundred
feet. The day is not far distant, when
lots on this part OF the Island VIII dou-
bic in value yearly, and the man who
buys now will realize handsomely on
his investment within ten years. The
large number Of buildings going up en-
the north end OF the Island, and the
the inquiry for property in this direc>
ton warrants this assertion. The lots
on the west side OF the addition fronting
on Back river, presents superior attrac-
tons for residence property, for men
who intend working in the Etna Nail
Works, both because Of the beauty Of
the location and it's nearness to their
business. Call on Mr.. Pollack on Main
street, examine the plat Of the addition
and select your lot.

TIE New ENrERpRIsE.-The subject
Of starting new manufactory On quite
an extensive scale in Wheeling, for the
building of the Centripetal Power Ma
chine, is now being brought to the at
tention of some of our capitalists and
most successful business men by the
Messrs. Smith & Co. These machines
are universally acknowledged to be
wonderful in point Of merit and we
are informed that the proposition to
start company here for their manu-
facture is being met with favor by men
whose ability and experience should
make it certain OF success. While
here Messrs. Smith & Co. have been
very attentive to the business OF show
ing their machine in operation to not
only residents OF Wheeling but to farm
ers and residents Of this and adjoining
counties, and we have heard OF but one
opinion expressed in regard to them.
A company here for the manufacture
of these machines, which would neces-
sarily employ a large number Of men,
and give to Wheeling manufacture
ing monopoly in very important line
of machinery, has our hearty endorse
ment.
