"a Sure Remedy"

cts disgrace and'll have to be stop

a prominent member of the First Branch
Of Council was saying yesterday as We
entered his place OF business.
"What is that?'
"Whv this tillibustering and shooting
off Gas in Council. The more talking
there is the less business is transacted,
and its gone so far that any ordinary
remedy won't reach II"

they wouldn't come out OF the house

Before Squire Mix,

Mary Kemple was before Squire Mix
the other night charged by Mrs. Martin
with disturbing the peace. Mary had
used some very bad language toward
Annie. and the latter repeated it to
the Justice in French, and the
warrant was issued. Both sides
were heard and Mary was put under
800 bond to keep the peace. She asked
until Yesterday morning to obtain a
bondsman, which was granted, but
when the time came Mary was gone.
She had skipped the tra-la-lee. She has
been before the Justices court before
and was already under one bond when
this action commenced. She tried 10 be
under another kind of bond Once-the
bond of wedlOck-and failing, her temper
has become sOured.
The Squire had another case yester-
day. A patent medicine man named
John Selects was selling his precious
infusions from door to door when he got
To the wrong place. He struck the house
Of a former creditor and the lady captur-
ed four bottles OF his medicine to hold
as security. John brought his troubles
to the Justice and the "creditress' WAS
compelled to return the elixir and pay
the costs.

FORTY YEARS IN WHEEL
ING.
An Interesting and Lengthy
Review of the Past Forty
Years in This City.

We have had the pleasure OF reading
i'm manuscript, Mr.. JOS. l.. Wilde's his
tory of the past forty years in Wheeling
from memoranda kept by him during
that time, and which will form an eX-
tremely interesting portion OF the
coming Leader City Directory. 1t Is
written in graphic style and is so varied
in detail and freighted with such local
matters of interest, both to young and
old, that the reader is insensibly impelled
To peruse it from beginning to end. 1t
will probably about one hundred pages
i'm the directory and, we think, will
add greatly TO its value. A good
description of Wheeling as it was forty
years ago, with the names OF the proml-
nent business houses then established;
quite a number of personal anecdotes
and political, literary and social infor-
nation fill up quite anumber OF the
first pages. Then, in excellent style,
subsequent events as they transpired
and the varied changes undergone are
nicely traced up to the present time.
We have not space to enumerate the
different features of the history, but
merely remark that it is comprehensive
and is really Il pen and ink photograph
of old times. To our older citizens it
will be of transcendant interest, and to
the Young should also be a fascinating
treat. Not person in Wheeling should
fail to get copy, and especially the
large number of people now living who
are mentioned in it in some shape or
other.
We are informed by Mr.. Johnson, the
publisher of the Leader Directory, that
il will be out the LIST of July, and he de-
sircs us To state in this connection that
orders left at his office in the Leddcr
building will be booked for prompt de-
livery. The price OF the Directory will

May Skies.

The brisk wind from the north yes
terdav blew away most OF the impuri-
ties Of the atmosphere, and a brighter,
clearer sky would be difficult to find.
The stars stood out like diamond points
on velvet. None of the finest of the
consultations were visible, but myriads
of stars ordinarily invisible made their
appearance and gazed with sleepless
ewes upon the world At midnight the
constellation Lyra was on the zenith,
and the fine star of the first magnitude
of the same name glittered like gem
on the brow of night" Arcturus was in
the West, Affair in the South and just
peeping over the eastern horizon was
the beautiful, pale Capella. The dipper
was inverted on the zenith and the
proud Ethiopian Queen who dared
boast her beauty as exceeding that of
the Nereids," was undergoing her pen
ance, aud rested head down in the
north. The Southern Archer and the
Swan were also particularly brilliant,
and the mysterious Milky Way, 1.-The
road to Jove's palace, was slowly rising
toward the meridian. 1t was truly
Beautiful night, though minus the
queen. About one O'Clock q short but
brilliant meteoric display occurred in the
West, almost in the constellation BOOtes.

The Quiet City.

The summer must be coming, for news
is getting to be exceedingly scarce.
That is, news that deserves the name.
1t is doubtful whether the city was ever
as dull at this season as at present, and
especially with the mills and general in
dustries in full operation. The eXtrem-
tiles of the town are especially dull.
The warm spell seems to have deadened
everything very streets are de-
serted. The corners and other places,
peculiarly the property Of loalcrs, know
their crowds no longer, but are desc
late and iorsaken. This may be ex-
pected during the whitening heat OF July
and August, but now it is only May and
is a little early for the summer lethargy
to set in.
