TIE WIEsEL MUSICAL INSTITUTE EX.
CURsION.-The return Of the steamer
Andes To our wharf was probably never
so anxionsly looked for, or 80 warmly
welcomed, as on yesterday. From noon
onward many anxious glanccs were sent
in tho direction from which she was COM
ing, The welcome music Of her familiar
whistle was the signal for the completion
OF such preparations as had been coin
menCed for the excursion; and In less
than On hour after she had touched the
wharf she was receiving troupe upon
troupe Of delighted exCursiOnists.
These we're received by Capt. Muhle-
man and his courteous officers, In the
most cordial manner. The guests were
glad to see the Captain, and the Captain
was delighted to sec the guests.
The capacious saloons and decks OF the
Andes were placed at the disposal OF the
excursionists, and were soon filled up
with gay and happy throng. Al half.
past 3 +. ii. the boat swung away from the
wharf, her departure witnessed ny hun
dretIs OF spectators, who looked with
great interest upon a scene 80 much IN
contrast with the cold and gloomy scenes,
which In the long winter Just past have
reigned supreme in that locality. The
day was delightful, and no doubt conf rm'
ed many hesitatiny purpose; iact
shown by the large sale OF tickets In the
few hours previous to departure. i was

congratulate themselves on the great sue.

stances, attended their efforts 10 provide
our citizens with Cliaste and elevated Gu.
During the first hour Of the voyage, tho
excusionists werc grouped upon the
guards and deck Of the steamer. The
6almy air, and the cheerful sunshine, gra-
ciously encouraged the appetite which
everybody seemed to have for "out Of
doors" Soon, however, the sound Of mu-
sic was waited from the cabin, and ere
long there were appreciative groups In
side listening To the harmOnies Of the In.
stitute; and still others keeping time with
tripping feet, to the melodies OF Ethio-
plan minstrels peculiar TO tile steamer
Andes. THUS nierrily went the hours,
until m appetite for something more sub
slantial than music and dancing began to
assert itself. The tables were soon spread
and filled again and again, and again,
and again, until II became subject Of
anxious inquiry whether or not the ener.
getic Steward Of tile steamer could meet
the requirements Of the occasion.
About I o'clock the steamer landed at
the wharf at stoubenyille, and the exctr.
siOnists we're greeted by large COnCourSe
OF citizens and by quite number Of
Wheeling people WHO fad come up on tile
evening train. Soon all were on the way
to the Concert Hall, which was soon filed
with n large and Appreciative audience.
We have not time to refer in detail to the
manner III which the programme was
rendered and received. The Hall iS not
we'll adapted TO concerts, and the enlbar-
rassment arising from this fact was In
creased by The want Of light and room on
the stage. Despite these disadvantages
the programme was rendered effectively,
