WHEREVER we 20 among the bust
ness portion of the town We hear favor
able expressions concerning the con-
templated street railway. As yet it is
only talk, but the matter demands con-
sideration as it is OF importance TO
those concerned. BY making straight
line through from Helherington's ad.
dtion in South Bellsire to Benson S
Ferry at the north, near Gravel Hill,
the interests OF the town would be more
consolidated and easy access afforded
to all parts Of It, while connecting with
the ferry it would make Wheeling
much more accessible. Capita outside
would be furnished a. any time, but
would it not be better Tor a company to
organize within the town and furnish
their own capital? 1t would be "a e
investment, as there is no doubt but the
road would pay lie way the first year.

tant business will be transacted.

a distance the other day the young IN an
who had an "invrte" to the SartOris-
Grant wedding. OuI emotions almost
overcame us, and we longed for q
smoked glass or something which would
render the sight less dazzling. But alas
ut is but step from the sublime TO the
ridiculous" ard to-day we think
we could look without snch feel
ings, since we have been told it was one
OF the printers where the cards were
gotten up who sent specimen copy.
The young people who went down to
Moundsville last Thursday night, are
indignant al Every Day." the Sstur.
days correspondent from Moundsvil.e
to the Standard. They say the party
was made up OF the most respectable
crowd in town, aud 80 far as whisky
was concerned, there was more on the
boat nor did they see any signs OF any
until they reached MouudsvlIe, where
they found some Of the gentlemen OF the
place at least halt seas-over," ard who
hung around the wharf and the ball
room. They further affirm that
the reporiorial E. D., who wrote the
article could not gain ad-
mission to the dance, and wresks his
vengeance on the party by affirming that
the gentleman drank and the ladies
painted. They do not think Every
Day" was in condition to know by the
