ing in novel and vivid manner the horrors of in
temperance, and urging forcibly the necessity Of
total abstinence. Though he spoke with rather
an assuming air, perhaps, yet evidently he is hon

of unparalleled rudeness occurred; for while the

has become quite disease here, and exceedingly

Va, born IN the town of Winthrop, and woulc
hrc completed her seventy ninth year on the
l9ta of August next. The death of Mrs. Stanley
removed from our midst a lady, who, for more
than forty Years has commanded the respect and
affection of community. OF modest and I'M
obtrusive manners, and always greatly devoted to
home duties, she made little show in public
walks, and it was 10 the retirement Of her own
home that she was best known, and her most val
ueI qualities appreciated. Fify-four years OF
welded life gave her now bereaved companion
constant evidence Of unfaltering devotion and
faithful attachment. As 9 mother no woman ever
exhibited a more self-sacri6cing spirit or a more
steady care for her household-slways going oil
willing ersnds' for her children, and treless in
t6oits TO promote their happiness and secure the
pleasures of home. Born at period when econ
omy was a necessity, she well understood it.
meaning and value, and subsequent years OF
wealth and ahiuence could not eradicate the les
sons of early life. Hence prudence, diligence
industry and carefulness were qualities always
conspicuous in her active and useful life. Blu,
sic was never psrsimonious or slow 10 her benev-
olence, but constantly generous and kind. The
ycor always found in her a liberal friend, the
needy were never turned from her door with theii
wants uns rplied. and the suffering found in her
II kind and 5, mpathiziDg heart. Her memory
will long be blessed by many who have shared
her bounty, and As charitable and benevolent
contributor for the n elevation of want and dis
iress she will be greatly missed.
The last days of Mrs. Stanley were attended
With severe ply steal suffering But they were
endured with great patience, and marked by {
gentle spirit of resignation and trust, making hel
last hours peaceful and serene. Amid the open
Ing beauties of a midsummer morning in thu
home where for so many years her quiet life had
been daily benediction, surrounded by tender
aud loving hearts, her spirit departed from frai
and worn body to mingle with loved ones who
had gone before, and whose company she longed
again to erjoy.

The b. Il q. Railroad shops.
Bellaire Leader, April Il.

Our good nelghoor of the Wheeling
Register grows "sarkssticaP over the
presence in Wheeling OF large repre-
sentation of class of citizens who per
sist IN sitting on the shirt tail OF p ogress
aud crying whoa! at all the plans under
taken by the real men OF enterprise
there. As dwehs with melancholy
pleasure, on the tact that those men
drove the Z. & P. r. K. 10 the west side
of the river, and to Bellaire, the Central
ONO road from Bridgeport aud the
Island. to Beilsire, and that Their
ion yevity is such that they will live to
drive the B j. o. K. r shops from
W heeling to Belllsre, and the Hemp
field Branch of the B. go r. K
through Wheeling hill to Bogg's Run
and thence to Benwood and Bellsire.
leaving Wheeling entirely out in the
cold.
Now, while we feel to aympatbize
with the Register in the premises, W.
tail to see what different treatment
could be locked tor. This IS the rail
road centre of this region, and the poinI
of crossing the Ohio for sll east and
west railroads that are built IN the future
wi HIN q radiou' of many miles. This
being true, railroad managers Will con
duct their business, lay their lines and
build their shops as near to such centre
as possible,
II has been believed by men ofssga-
city, this would eventually become the
d ace OF location of the W heeiiug repair
shops, and the projectors of the Central
Oniu line were " So in their day when
they reserved ground Of sufficient area,
and conveniently located for the build
ing OF such shops. The Wheeling shops
are not permanent buildings, aid will
be tenable only until new buildings can
be erected here, when all the repairing
of the several divisions of the b. u y
line, of the B. s. S. w. R. r., and the
greater portion of that OF the w. & L. V
X. r. will no doubt be done at the Bel
laire shops.
rhes. remarks are suggested at this
time by the tact that Wee President
Keyssr Of the b. s. U. r. r, and Su
p.rinteudent Q iincy OF the q. y. and
Ca .cago d vision of the B. s U. line have
tor some days past been examining the
Bellalre aud Wheeling shops, dIsc issing
plans for consolidation enlargement, etc.
From the we'll recognized sagscity OF
these gentleman Ia all that pertains TO
their business, we have but little doubt
that lhe Bellalre location will be CHOSEN,
an6 that the Wheeling shops will be
aband oned Just a. soon ssproper build
ings can be erected here.
The Register admits the propriety OF
such transfer, not only on the ground OF
economy, but In the event OF the Hemp
field division being made a part OF the
through line from Bellaire u Chicago"
on the gr und OF COL venience. The
Rooster is evidently in an ironicai
mo,d, yet notwilhstsndi' 6 That fact 1t
manages TO get IN several good s'z
chunk of wisdom 10 discussing the stu
n,,on, and whether intentionally or not,
says several good words for our city.
