went out on the porch to see II DAILY

The Chronicle says the train which
carries the mail from the East over the
B. u .. road seems more interested in the
delivery OF oysters than letters. 1t has
been behind time almost every day for u
week. The Wheeling and Cambridge
Omnibus Line is what the people of this
region are clamoring tor. Uncle Sam
should let them have it. 1t will cost less
and insure the prompt delivery OF the
Wheeling msil, the one which specially
il ter sts the business people OF this sec
ton.
The st. ClairsvIlle Gazette presents
Ross j. ALEXANDER for Speaker OF the
Ono House of Representatives. This
is good suggestion. Mr.. ALEXANDER
wtuld make an admirable presiding Off
Ger of that body he is man OF fine
Judgment and clear, quick mind; even
tempered, courteous and firm. We doubt
whether in the whole House another
member can be found who possesses in
An equal degree the qualities desirable in
Il presiding officer.

THOMAS YATES, Esq, of West Alexsn-
der, Pa, aged respectively IA 3 years,
ran away from home. They were last
heard of in Pittsburgh, but farther, moth
ing can be learned of their whereabouts

The Cambridge Times (Republican)
is critical During the Democratic jolli-
tication over the recent election in that
place, It's editor heard some one shout
"Hurrsh for VALLANDINGHAM" and
strsightwsy that paper goes into fits
over the "Rebel yell"
The rails on the p, w. Il X. railroad
have been laid to within two and a halt
