THIS Weeks tuir.

To-day the fourth annual exhibition Of
the West Virginia Exposition and State
Fair Association commences on the Asso-
cations grounds on the Island. All the
prospects point to an unprecedented sue
cess. The exhibition and the races bid
fair 10 exceed in attractivcncss and inter-
est those OF former years, and with good
weather the attendance promises to be SO
large rs to astonish the most sanguinc be-
5lievcr i'll the State Fair.
Y The importance Of these annual fairs to
Wheeling cannot be ovcrrated. Enter.
prising and intelligent merchants can ap.
prcciatc it, and even the dulest, slowest
going business man in our midst must re-
alize ii from experience. This weeks
event is worth large sum to every mer-
chant or business man in Wheeling, for
it results in direct'uddition to the local
volume oftrade, and further, and more i'm
portant, in disseminating through the sur
rounding country for long distances in NIL
directions u knowledge Of the city's rec
concentrations us business point, and ia
miiarzcs new communities with the
means OF access to Wheeling Uniortu-
nately, merchants and others interested
have not in the past attached due weight
to the benefits derived from the fair. They
realized, seemingly, that it was pretty
good thing for them, but apparently were
indifferent whether it continued to exert
its beneficial influence year after year.
Gradually the work OF the association in
enhancing the prosperity OF the city will
make itself felt, and four years from now
were the association's property destroyed
by a flood or by fire, it would not DO SO
difficult TO raise the funds to replace it, as
it has been in this year OF grace 1854.
There is another great boon which the
State Fair has conferred upon Ohio county
and the adjacent country. Who has failed
I to notice the increased interest these an
t1uai CAAioitAo1lo nave liOuscu Ill STOCK uIlu
horses? The direct and speedy result has
been to improve pcrceptibly in few brief
years the quality of draft and driving
horses, and OF beef and dairy cattle, us
we'll as Of sheep. 1t is a school for the
farmers, and they have shown themselves
apt pupils.
These are a few Of the many advantages
such an institution asour fair, progressive
.ly and successfully managed, confer upon
u community. There are many minor
ones; and sum OF money could scarcely
be named which could compensate Wheel
ing and Ohio county for the loss Of the
State Fair as a permanent institution. Let
us then encourage and aid the Associa-
ton TO make OF its exhibitions an in
:creasing success with succeeding years.

The Dangers Of the Looking. Glass.

1t would seem as if the catalogue of
perils to which we are exposed while
peacefully resting in our boudoirs, or
sleeping the sleep of the just in our bed
chambers, is never to be complete.
Every few days we are startled by the
discovery of some unsupported source
of evil, and learn with alarm that our
feeling of security was baseless, and
that the enemy was working destruc-
ton under the guise of q friend. The
wallpaper, the carpets, the upholstery,
the furnace, the fresh-air fiue and the
area drain have all had their evil ac-
lions brought to light, and now the
AGED mirror, which seemed to be an
angel of light, is shown TO have worked
deeds of darkness. DR.. Neukirch,
(CentraEbLatt FIR Klinische MediciF,
March Is, 1884) reports having met
with several cases of chronic mercurial
poisoning, manifested by severe stomat-,
tits, with pains in the lower jaw, swell
ing of the sub-maxillary glands, ptyal-
ism and fetid breath The presence
of mercury in considerable quantity
was also detected in the urine. In two
cases, of man and his wife, the cause
of the trouble was in looking lass
hanging in the bedroom, the wooden
back Of which was dotted with thou
sands of minute globules of mercury.
The apartment was heated duling the
night. In another instance the source
of poisoning was mirror forty years
old, whose back had become weak, and
from whose face the quicksilvery fresh
ness was fading. The aged culprits
having been summarily removed, their
victims speedily recovered. Thus has
yet another OF our trusted friends been
proved false! And now we must either
destroy our mirrors while they are yet
young and innocent, or else keep q
iwatc6ful eye on them and brace ur
their backs the moment the signs of de
crepitude become apparent. If worse
comes to worst, we can at least take ref
uge in the FURNISHED steel of our fore
fathers. -NedteQl Record

At Lady Franklin Bay plenty Of food
had been left, but as it was too heavy to
carry and they expected to find plenty at
| Cape Sabine, it was left behind. They
found only two barrels of bread left in
the cache made by the ProtGus' crew after
her loss, a damaged cache Left by the
British and few rations left by the relief
expedition of 1882.
In the Autumn forlorn hope started
to reach some dried meat cached by
Mares, but Ellison's feet and hands were
frozen, and they were forced to abandon
the mat and return. In the spring tent
was erected but the party were to weak
to fasteD it strongly. In April Ri,ce and
Fredericks volunteered to find the aban-
dOned meat. Rice died on the way and
Fredericks returned in q terribly eX.
hauSted condition. Two men, LockW God
and Jewell died in camp while Fredel it;ks
was away, and on the LIST of June King
bury died.
After this, little of moment, except
constantly recurring deaths, occur ed
until June %, when the faint sound of
steam whistle was heard by Long. he
and Brainerd got out of their sIeepinlt
bag and went to point, but seeing moth.
ing they started to return. Long was
unable to do SO. and sat down in despair
beside some rocks. Soon he saWa steam

little while the rescuers landed.

NoTE.-The third relief party for the
rescue of Lieutenant Greedy and his men
left st. John, New Foundlandy March 10,
1883, In two vessels built at Dundee,
Scotland, the Bear and the Thetis, and a
steamer, the Alert, presented by England.
An immense store of food of every
variety was taken, making Its tons in
all. The Greeley expedition started
from Brooklyn June, 1881, Lieutenant
Greeley in command. With him were
four sergeants, Winfield S. Jewell, Geo.
w. Rice, David c. Ralston and Hampton
S. Gardiner. The rest were privates and
corpofals from the army.-ED.

"I would like to as. instructions about

Greedy and party are much improved
in health since rescued, but thel4 conol-
tion was critical in the extreme "hen
found, and for some days after. Fol, W
eight hours delay in reaching them
would have been fatal to all now living.
A. CLOSE WINTER.
F'This season North is late and the
closest for years. Smiths Sound was
not open when | left Cape Sabine. The
winter about Melville Bay was the most
severe for twenty years. This great re-
suit is entirely due to the prompt action
and unwearied energy of yourself and the
Secretary of War in fitting this expedi-
ton for the work it has had the honor to
accomplish.
