the following communication from his eN-
celency the Governor:
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1873-01-09

AACEvoY's HIDERNIcAN.-This first.
class exhibition was greeted with pretty
well filled house, last evening, and gave
entire satisfaction. The panorama, as il
was unrolled, elected the closest attention
and very hearty commentator, especially
from those who were familiar with the
originals Of the views presented. The
dramatic portion Of the programme was
applauded 10 the echo. Nearly every
performer was encored and responded
the audience thus getting the benefit Of
two evenings entertainments for the price
OF admission to one. The troupe Is one
OF the very finest ever here, and will
appear this evening with an entire change
OF programme. Go early and get good
seat. Have all your buttons sewed on
tight.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1873-01-09

RIVER ITEMs.-Very little ice was
running in the river last evening ut dark,
mot enough to interfere to any extent
with navigation. The river declined
quito rapidly yesterday, but there is still
a fne boating stage. The Express got
away for Parkersburg with good trip.
The Forest City made her appearance at
the wharf after an absence Of about two
months. The Recs did not como up
from sun6sh but will probably resume
her place in that trade today.
The river, q good part Of yesterday, in
front Of the city was almost entirely GOV.
ered with coal tows. Probably so many
never passed here during one day, as did
Yesterday. The run" for January, is an
unprecedented one VIC are told, and so
HAr a. we have heard, has been a very
ouccesSful one. The loss Of only four
boats had been reported at Pittsburgh,
Yesterday morning, They were sunk at
Glass House just below that city So
far, no disaster has occurred at either the
Bsilaire or steubcnville bridgcs-Gs least
ne Lave no information Of any,
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1873-01-09

POLICE CoURT.-PromptIy at Ter
o'clock, yesterday morning, Judge Rogers
two or three officers, and few spectator
gathered at the policec court room. In re-
ply to an inquiry made OF him by one in
authority, Gen. Wallace answered, thai
there were no prisoners in the cells. The
company tarried Tor a few minutes wait
ing for the clerk, but that official moi
making his appearance, it was concluded
that no warrants had been issued and
consequently, the court sustained 0
"white wash" In good order, with "sol
emn step and SLOW" court, officers and
all others filed out of the room, fully con
WINGED Of the fuctuating character Of all
sublunary things, generally, and the po'
lice court OF this city, particularly.
