A New Feature.

In conversation with Mr.. Johnson,
yesterday, who is now engaged in get
ting out the new City Directory, We
learned that he had made arrangements
with Mr.. Joseph Wilde for a lengthy
sketch of Wheeling and its prominent
families, and leading incidents in their
lives during the past generation. Mr..
Johnson also said that the new Direc-
tory will be bang up affair, containing
a vast quantity of useful statistical mat
ter, and other information OF various
kinds. He also thinks of putting in
each one a colored map of the State from
late drawings, and altogether of making
such book that no family, merchant,
manufacturer or professional man can
afford to do without it. The cost of the
book will be 3. Orders left at 81 Twelfth
street, in Leader building, will be booked
and delivered promptly.
