deserve mention, but we failed to get
their names. The Belmont mill and
blast furnace were dotted with small
flags of the various nations.
.. MARKET STREET.
Among those on market street, the
most conspicuous for extensive decora-
flon and illumination, were the houses
along the square of the Fifth ward
market house. Of these the most promi-
nent we're the building occusied by Louis
Seidler, the saloon keeper. The entire
front was literally covered with ever
greens and wreathes, in which nestled
notices, pictures OF prominent men and
abundance of bunting and flags pre-
vailed. The grocery store of ID. +. Beh-
rens, was also tastefully decorated in
similar manner-Fry's tin shop, Her
man RenRer's place and numbers OF
others in the same locality. On the East
side of the street the buildings occu
pied by Henry Schwartz and JohL
Thomer was gracefully testooned and
ornamented, with everything fam
tastically arranged, and flags of all the
nations occupying positions in various
parts of the house. The residence Of
James Maxwell, Esq, showed to adj
vantage by the artful manner in which
the lanterns and colors were arranged.
The residence of Mr.. n. Relster and
several others in that locality, whose
names we could not learn, also presented
a good appearance.
CHAPLINE STREET.
The scene on this street from 2 LIST to
9th street was beautiful to behold.
Nearly all the houses were more or less
covered with some sort of decorations,
and large number were also illumI-
mated in a gorgeous manner. The most
prominent of the private residences we
noticed those of Thomas List, j. G..
Hoffman, d. Gushing, j. III. Leigh
ton, DR.. Reeves, Mrs. Neal,
Mrs. Quarter, Mr.. Charnock, l.. II,
Hughes and Mr. Remick, the latter de-
serving special mention for its beautiful
appearance. Further down, the large
building of Lawrence Walther, on the
corner of Chapline and Twenty fifth.
was brilliantly Illuminated from top to
bottom. and on the side fronting Market
street it was handsomely decorated with
evergreens, flags, wreaths, Chinese IAN
terms, &c. The house of John Nevis on
the opposite corner, also came in Tor ad'
miration. The building of August Reu-
ter, as well rs several other houses in the
neighborhood, were beautifully decorated
SQUIRE Bellville's office was touched up
with flags and lanterns. On the corner
of Chspline and Thirty-ffth street is
Squire Schultz's castle, which was illum-
mated en- ali sides and in every direction.
JACOB STREET.
On this street in the Eighth ward, the
decorations &C., were meagre, but those
that did so, did 1t very well. Among
those we noticed were S. l.. Brce, Henry
Metz, Charles Hayes, William Meyers
and others. Louis Scarborough had II
banner stretched from his building to
that OF Charles Butler, with
the bold word Reform" painted
thereon. A good word in these
Centennial times. Mrs, Woods, ON the
corner of Wood and 35th streets, had her
premises handsomely decorated with
flags.
TWENTIETH STREET.
On this street, in the Fifth ward, Re-
corder Woods residence was gotten up
gorgeous, and covered with everything in
the decorating line. Mr. Woods
also supplies the people IN
that locality with fireworks. In the
same row other buildings were nicely
decorated and lighted up.
THE HOSE HOUSES.
The Vigilant, Atlantic, United and
Hook and Ladder hose houses. were dec.
GRATED in handsome manner with
rich bunting flags Of the various ma
lions of the world, all of which pre-
sented the building, in fine manner.
Many others have decorated in an
equally fitting manner, but it is impossi'
BILE to particularize in every instance,
and a great many delayed the work OF
decoration until late last evening. The
city, however, was beautifully clothed in
the garments of the different nstonali.
ties throughout at dark yesterday, and
our citizens have shown pride that only
a Wheeling public can show on such oc'
casions AS this,
ARCHES
Of these the first in importance il the
arch erected by the Germans on Main
street, Mcssrs. Brown, LeIdl. and Ernst
having the matter in charge, 1t consist:
OF large arch over the street, in the
centre of which is large portrait Of
Washington, Columbia and Germans
supporting the same. On either side oI
the large arch, and directly over the
pavement, are smaller ones, representa-
tons of the Art, Education, Liberty
Justice and Independence being placed
thereon. The three arches are profusely
decorated with evergreens and banner:
of all nations, among which are inter-
