THE Washington, Pa, Reporter says;
While the cry of hard times and money
stringency comes up from nearly every
quarter, it is a matter of congratulation
that the pressure has not yet been felt in
Washington county-or if at all only to
\ slight extent. Our wool and other pro-
auctions have gone off at fair figures and
brought the ready money. Trade else
where is dull. while here it is unusually
brisk. More houses have been built, as
we noted in our last, than for many pre-
yious wears.

SOMETHING OF A REvIvAL.--There Is q
religious revival going on just now, we
hear, ut the residence of Mr.. Robinson on
Short Creek, on the Virginia side, which
takes the wind out Of anything in the way
of reviyalism in this section, on record. 1t
has been in session about forty-fve days
and about eighty converts have been made
This is the more remarkable when the
fact is considered that it is only a coun-
try place, and entirely separate from the
church located there. The good country
folks come from miles round about to
attend the meetings, which are held
every night, and there on Sundays. The
religious enthusiasm which prevails at
times, is intense, while at others, we are
informed, some of the applicants for adj
mission into the folds of the church, be-
come so wild as to entirely loose their
reason. 1t is said of one young man
with bran spanking new suit of store
clothes on, who was "chuck full
of the spirit of the Lord
and could not find peace
in any other way; that he just laid down
on the floor, which, with the mud from
the feet of many people, and the tobacco
juice from many mouths, made it as
soft as hay NOW, and rolled over and
over with as much zest as a young horse
in spring time let out to grass.
The meetings are still held and arc
doing much good. The attendance and
enthusiasm remain undated.

whether the name of the town terminates

VERY little interesting news came I'M
der our observation yesterday.
THE new dials at the postottce indicat-
ing the time Of departure of the different
mails, are not only handsome but very
convenient.
WE saw three or four large boxes OF
lamp chimneys fall off dray into the
mud on Second street yesterday, and the
driver got off and picked them up and
placed them on the dray without saying
a word. 1t requires philosopher to do
such thing as that.
TABLE cutlery is the latest thing now
used in Bellaire to stir the fire with. We
saw quite handsome young lady in
dulge in this sharp practice yesterday.
THE suit of Mira. Edwin Owens of this
CITY against Mr.. John ZIlch, for damage

We saw two men in weaving way
on water street yesterday afternoon.
They were "hinglshmen," and they were
"appy."
We saw a man who was chuck full OF
the ardent" riding a mule up Belmont

appearance of his clothes one would have
concluded that the mule had been riding
him over the muddiest part of the road.
OUR friend, j. B. Smith, Esq, left this
city for Pittsburgh yesterday, to try n
lawsuit against that city, wherein S2O,-
900 damages is claimed by the party
bringing the suit. This speaks well for
the legal ability of Mr.. Smith, but no
more than he Justly merits, and every

will sift the case to the very bottom. We
wish him success in this arduOus task be-
fore him.

FIRE AT MoUNDsvILLE.- The citizens
of Moundsville were startled by the
alarm of fire being sounded throug Ii their
usually quiet streets, about one o'clock
yesterday morning. In a very. short
time the entire population were out on
the streets, with not more than neces-
sarv amount of clothing on
their backs, hurrying to the place
from whence the flames appeared. The
fire proved to be in a frame tenement
house belonging to Col. Lockwood, situ-
ated between the residence of the above
gentleman and Captain Purdy. The
house was isolated from any other build
ings, and as it was not occupied at the
time, it was left to be devoured by the
flames, rs no effort on the
part of those present could have
saved it. A woman by the name of Mrs.
Myers, formerly of this city, had just
moved out of the house on Tuesday, and
as large fire was left burning in the
CRATE, it is supposed that some of the
Goals fell out upon the floor and set fire
to the building.
Colonel Lockwood's loss is about ST.
600. There was no insurance.

OPERA HoUsE.-Mr. j. II. Stoddart-

OPERA HoUsE-Mr. j. H. Stoddart-
and his fine comedy company, commence
ed a short engagement at the Opera
House last evening. The house was
moderately we'll filled, but not near so
many as we desired to have seen greet
this eminent actor. However, open
ing nights are generally below the aver
age in Wheeling, and tonight we expect
to see the Opera House crowded to excess.
The new drama in three acts, called
"Dearer than Life" was produced, Mr..
Stoddart sustaining the leading role of
Michael Garner" The drama is of
domestic nature and full of quiet but eff
fective pathos, and tie principal charac-
ter one of great natural power in the
hands of Mr.. Stoddart. There is just
enough of the comedy running through
the play to keep the interest fully AVA
kened. The story is SIM
pie and unaffected, and is
told in smooth, natural and easy mail
ner. "Uncle Ben the drunken and
worthless brother of "Michael Garner"
was capltally rendered by Mr. John A.
Mackey, and in his maudlin idiosyn-
crasies, kept the audience in roar Of
laughter. "Mrs. Pellot," by Mrs. Geo.
Stoddart, was also frst-class.
The entertainment concluded with the
farce of "Ice Fon Parle Francais,;, with
with Mr.. j. Fl. Stoddard in the laughter
provoking character of "Spriggins.' Mr..
George Stoddard, j. A. Mackay and Mrs.
George Stoddard, acted their respective
roles in excellent style and spirit. The
same bill will be presented again this
evening. Don't fail to attend.

The st. Louis Democrat of Tuesday,
contains the following correspondence
from "TOwboat;'
In YOUR remarks on Sunday on the late
little run of coal from Pittsburgh, you
invite scrutiny. You are so much in error
in YOUR calculations that even a steam
boat lightning calculator would be able
to give YOU nearer the figures than you
gave the public Your figures of 1902
O0O-at IS lbs the standard for Pitts
burgh coal-would be 277,47G tons. Put
10 tons per car, and we have 27,147 car
loads. Twenty cars make good average
train for one locomotive. We therefore
need ,3S7 locomotives to move the 1887
trains of 20 cars each. Cars average
about 80 feet each; 27,747 would make Il
continuous train, with 1887 locomotives
of 40 feet each. lS4 miles. 1t would
take all these trains 81 days to pass n
gwen point, allowing each train to be
30 minutes apart, with no accidents or
delay. 1t would take these 1887 trains
nearly 80 days Ia transport that little lot
of coal from Pittsburgh TO Cincinnati
and Louisville, taking for granted that
they made the average time of freight
trains, while these 81 towbosts will do it
in i've days. OF the importance Of this
little swell of water in the Ohio to the
people Of Cincinnati and Louisville, and,
in fact. to the whole Ohio Valley, leave
others to Judge Hoping you will i'm
prove every opportunity TO call the at
tention of the powers to the great import
ance of the improvement OF our Western
rivers and the mouth of the Mississippi.
l lam truly yours,
