As we again have a good river, and ca1
once more hear the pud OF the steamboat
after SO long d silence, we eau afford tc
write few locals Our quiet place Is per
haps Just now as full Of business as It ha,
been for the last ten years. We are In
creasing in population. People are be,
ginning to realize that Moundsville is a
good place to live, and are coming to Il
almost every day. ~ -
Our rolling mill was of yesterday for
repairs, but is on again to-day, !. e. the
part that runs or has been running for
some time.
The new manufacturing establishment
In the lower ward Is in full blast, and Il
will no doubt be paying investment.
A new store started in the middle ward,
advertises to sell very cheap, which
all our merchants do. Still many OF our
people buy IN Wheeling Why they do
50 Is best known to themselves.
Our State Penitentiary Is fairly booming
with business, and will soon be self suS.
tanning institution, or should be, at least
County Court Is in session, Esq. Pelley
now fills the Judges chair in the absence
OF Judge Alexander, who was called from
his duties on account OF the death Of his
mother-iu.law, Mrs. Tomlinson, who died
Yesterday noon. She was one Of tie pio.
s'ot this section Of the country, and
died at a good old age.
The funeral of the boy, an account of
whose unfortunate death was given in
yesterdays ISTELLIaENCRR, by your Fair
mont correspondent, took place on Sunday
at o'clock, from the residence OF his
grandmother, Mrs Porter, in the Middle
Ward. The services were conducted BY
Rev. Fullerton, and large procession fol-
lowed the remains to the grave.
The Quarterly Meeting services Of the
VI. E. Church on last Sabbath, were con-
Quoted by Rev, Samuel Steele, pastor Of
North Street church, Wheeling. He
preach two excellent sermons, and in the
afternoon administered the Sacrament Of
the Lords Supper.
On next Sunday the NJ. E. congregation
will worship in the Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Pomeroy will be absent at that time,
and the church has been kindly rendered
70 the use Of the Methodist congregation.
This shows the spirit OF Christianity,
which knows no sect or creed.
1t Is hoped by the Sabbath following
that the Methodist people can worship in
their own new church, the trustees hav.
ing decided to enclose the auditorium at
once and use it for services until the
chapel is finished. This will be used until
the auditorium is finished, at which time
the building will be dedicated. Nearly
all the debt has already been assumed by
members OF The congregation, and bonds
will be issued at once to secure any money
that may be borrowed.
II the weather permits, the house will be
finished by the early spring. This will
surely silence those who predicted that
the church would never be built.
The proposed railroad from Wheeling TO
Parkersburg. meets with great favor here,
but whether Marshall county will favor ii
to the amount OF 100000 remains to be
seen. Itwould undoubtedly be paying
investment, but the difficulty will be 70
get all to see it. As our neighbors on the
other side Of the river are urging the
building Of similar road from Bellaire to
Marietta, West Virginia should arouse at
once and proceed in the matter.
