If some OF our livery men would take
a drive out the road some fine evening
and see the way their horses travel,
they would certainly labor under the
impression that Goldsmith Maid and all

SOME people are beginning to question
the wisdom OF giving the top of nice,
ilat-rOofed house mp to the cats. 1t is
the coolest room on the premises, and
with little care and expense can be
madea delightful resort in summer even
ing Wheeling Register. There is no ac-
counting, il seems, for the tastes of peo-
pie. 1t is owing as to how they were
r,arcd.-Nolba,riHe Gazette.
We stated on Saturday morning that
"Dutchy" West had escaped from the
WOrkhOuse. The information was re-
ceived at the City Building, and was
considered reliable. Vests time had
expired and he was released, and We
have reason to believe that the former
information was given with malice aiore-
thought. In justice to Superintendent
STANLEY we checrfully make this correc-
ton.
We recently had the pleasure of con-
vcrsing with Gen. James Healy, OF No.
20 Eighteenth street, OF this city. lie
is called Gen. Healy because of the ell
cient service he rendered to the general
community by the skilled labor upon
the city streets. He adverted, with
pleasure, TO the fact that he had Just
had new iron roof put upon two OF
his dwellings, which is certainly 4 bentit
Of the most economic kind. These roofs
are more lasting and less costly than
any other roof known. Gen. Healy has,
in roofing his houses, shown that BUSH
ness shrewdness which is his predomi-
nant faculty. These roofs are nanufac-
tured and put on by Chandler 4 Halde-
man, No. lllG Water street, this city.
