citizens of other sections. demand peace

Point, four large foreign steamers being
at the piers dischargIng or receiving
cargo. Tho Austrian barks Paulina s.
and Mercer were at the elevator loading
grain for Europe. The receipts Of grain
from tho West have averaged about forty
cars per day for some time, but yesterday
manilests Of one hundred and forty.eight
car loads were received, which indicates
that the shipments are increasing in vol

then the busy season will commence

We beg to correct the Richie Castle.
Wheeling has population of over 10000,
instead Of $4,000. II our population was
only $4,000, then its remarks about the
Wheeling papers, and especially the In
TEILINeENCER, putting on airs, would be
to the point, but being 10000 they are out
Of order. Whenever a city can claim
25O00it is entitled to put on airs. This is
anunwrittGn and presciptive privilege tina
has come down from the days Of the
walled cities Of the Roman Empire
All magistrates Of cities containg $4,000
people were entitled to wear the "t5gam
prSilcoren," which is the Latin for put
ting on airs, and this prerogative has by
common consent fallen 10 the newspapers
Our contemporary will, therefore, under
stand that it is simply as a matter
Of duty, in support Of this ancient
usage, and not because we are inflated
with our own Importance, or with q
further initiation Of the currency, that we
put on airs. Big as Wheeling is, it would
have been much bigger place had it
not been for the existence Of Harris
vile, Richie county. Two such places, so
near together, sap each others vitality,
the same as two pumpkins in a hill, and
thus 1t Is that We present our present
atunted appearance. This it is also that
keeps Parkersburg down-even worse
than We are kept down-=because of its
near proximity to Huntsville, an incubus
from which it is unable to!rise despite
stephenson's prediction and tho opening
Of the China trade. All that saves New
York Is its distance from Hsrrisville.

Prices Of Stock.-The prices OF stock al pub
lie sales, vary considerably. Where horses and
cows are iu good condition, and particularly
when cows have calves by their side, they bring
good prices, the former from 500 TO $3.50, the
latter from $50 To $50. Cows that are SPRING
ing and look WE'LL also sill at fair rates; hut
wien the calves have been taken of or when
the cows will not come into profit for some
months, they sell quite low. In fact farmers
do not wish to purchase dry cows at this sea-
son Of the year, and hence bidding at them Is
very spirilless. All who wish their cows to
bring good prices at public sale should made an
effort to have young calves by their sides so the
purchasers may be satisfied that they are all
right and ready for profit. This is hint that
is worth attending 10. Those who intend to
sell out next spring should have an eye to the
matter, as they can just as well have fresh COWS
10 dispose of as a lot OF shippers. In this cen
nection we may state thai the cows OF William
Gibbons on the Glebe farm, near New Castle
