A'heeling &e9ister.

THR citizens residing on Wheeling
Island are not less sympathetic or con-
siderate than the average run Of hu-
msnity, and yet regard with some
complacency the TACT that the lower
Ohio is deluged at this time, iustead o.
the upper. Two floods in one year
are enough to satisfy the Island people
as q personal experience, and they are
willing 10 forego, for the benef.
OF their down the river neighbors,
any repetition at this time OF the senss-
ton occasioned by high water. The
dispatches indicate that the Ohio river
has exceeded its banks in the lower
portion OF its course, while the upper
portion has escaped. The people Of the
Island are not at all envious in this re =
spect, and are quite willing that the
dwellers along the lower course OF the
river shall! enjoy sensation which,
from frequent iteration, has lost its
novelty here.
