From the readable and newsy little sheet
issued BY the LiRsly Institute boys, known
as the Linsly Echo, printed for them at the
ISrELLloEScER job rooms, We make the
following local extracts
There is some talk at present amongst the
boys OF recognizing the military company
at the school.
William and Louis Delaplain, two OF our
former associates, are now at the Cheshire
Academy, Conn,
Six graduates OF Princeton College reside
in Wheeling and vicinity, viz: Prots.
Whitehill and Dalzell, DT, Hoge, Harry
List, Senator Woods, and DR.. Carter OF
TriadeIphia.
We are glad to know that DR.. John NJ:
DiCkey, who was at one time connected
with the Institute, is rapidly recovering.
His many friends wish to see him out
soon.
DR.. Jepson's coursein physiology and by
giene continues to be popular with the
BOYS, and q great many practical truths
about the laws OF health are being gained.
The Doctor is u good speaker, has ex'
cellent success in interesting his hearers,
and is thoroughly converant with the sub
jects which he explains.
The Linsly was well represented at the
Lincoln Club reception on last Tuesday
evening. Prof. DaI1ell was present as
President OF the Club, and Rotations were
given by Messrs. Ralph Heyman and Alfred
Boyd. Both OF the boys acquitted them
selves creditably, and their efforts were
loudly applauded.
The following drive at the Suspension
bridge people, the Islanders, the p, W. &
Ky. road and the City Council is not q
bad attempt in the way Of sarcasm on
the part OF the boys, and will, we presume,
be relished by the drives as well as the
general public:
Is that bridge? Yes, that is n bridge.
1t is suspension or hanging bridge. DO
people go over it? Yes, Island people 90
over it. They always go over on the left
hand side. Have Island people no right
hands? No, they only have left hands.
They always go and come on the left hand
side, WHO Is that man on the right hand
side? Oh, he is man who Just moved on
| lllt lslullls llC VIII buDll lCulh W VAIN us
the other folks over there do. See that man
who has lived there many years crowd him
off. Is that right? Yes, in Wheeling it is
right. The men who own the bridge are
too poor to buy sign boards to show the
Island folks which way go.
See the wharf. Boats land at the wharf
Can you see the wharf? No, | cannot see
the wharf. There Is u long train of cars
from one end Of it to the other, and can
not see the boats. The cars hide them.
Folks have to wait till the cars choose TO
move out. A man had his legs broken q
few days ago when he tried TO 60 between
the cars to get to the boats. He was n poor
man and will be laid up all winter. Who
gave the cars leave to stand on the wharf?
The city did. She is always doing some
thing to injure her citizens. Why does she
do this? The railroad company gives the
members OF council passes to ride on the
cars with. They can go to New York or
Cincinnati and other big cities and see the
elephant. What is the elephant? Wait
till you are older and will tell you about
the beast. Do lots Of Wheeling people go
to see the elephant? Yes, lots OF them.
The members OF the second branch are too
poor to see 1t without a pass. But why does
the council not let the B. 4 o. road go
through the city? Why that road would
do the city some good, and councilmen
won't vote for anything that will be OF any
use TO the town.
