THE OLD STORY.

On, yes, am a married man,
have wife, aud when | sought her
Some years ago for mine aud brought her
Home as bride, life first began
To be worth living. Just thought her
An angel, aud thanked Heaven I'D caught
her.
And do so still-and yet, and yet
There is another-one who's wrought her
Shy witchcraft DER me till there's naught
her
Fair face may not make me forget.
And to this day I've never fought her
Soft sway, although you say "oughter."

But she loves Inc, too. Oh, I've taught
her
The old sweet lesson, and / bought her
My first love gift but yesternight

A singular feature ia the small return oil
bank stock made. A good deal OF that
sort of thing must have been mislaid or
forgotten. The returns of plate and
iewelry" are very cratic and irregular.
For instance, Washington district folks
seem to have little ornamental gold about
their households, only $3.50 being returned
for the entire district, while down In Mad
son 81, 945, and in Clay $ll,33O, were
handed in. In Union, directly q
Joining, where finger-rings and ear drops
are about rs thick as elsewhere intown, only
81, 27O is reported. The SANE thing Is
true of watches and clocks. In Washing
ton but 334 time pieces are found, while
down in Madison, with about the same
population, there are 677. The people OF
Washington are not musically inclined,
for only 81 pianos and organs were visible
TO the Assessor, and their lack Of apprecia-
ton of that concord of sweet sounds, Is
shared by Centre, which reports only al
instruments. Madison, however, hands In
lG6 pianas and organs, Webster ia, and
CLAY 100. In live stock, Washington dis
trict leads in the matter of cows, her poo
pie possessing log, while Centre has only
IL. Clay has the proud distinction of re-
porting the only flock of sheep in the city,
100 in number. Clay also leads in horses,
having 30, Centre bringing up the rear in
this regard with 104.

STOCK r QUESTION.
A Strong Plea for Their Retention Within
the City Limits.

A Strong Plea for Their Retention Within
the City Limits. .
To ae Editor Of ths Register:
STR-At the time when the business
men of Wheeling are called upon by the
Chamber of Commerce to exercise thelr
energies in ehlarging old and promoting
new Industries, one feels somewhat dis
eouraced at the action of the First Branch
of the City Council on Tuesday evening,m
adopting Mr.. Lists resolution, aiming at
the prohibition Of stock yards within cor
porate limits.
That no injustice may be done the res
OlutiOn is here quoted:
"By Mr.. List:
"Resolred, That the Committee ON Ordl-
nances be instructed to draft an ordinance
to prohibit the keeping of cattle, hogs,
sheep and calves, for sale, within the limits
of the city.
Adopted"
The Language certainly comprehends all
existing stock yards.
The enforcement ofssuch an ordinance,
apart from beinga radical departure from
long established custom, would result in
I. Driving small stock dealers from the
city.
2. Keeping farmers of Ohio and neigh
boring counties from bringing their cattle,
hogs, sheep and calves to the Wheeling
market.
3. Destroying in a measure the value OF
hotel property in the market squares.
This is no exageration. AS a rule, farm
ers bring their own stock to this market.
| They arrive ut all hours of the day and
night. 1t is necessary that they should
have proper places-that Is to say, con-
venient and well-arranged stock yards-in
which their stock, their cattle, hogs, sheep
and calves, can be sheltered and fed until
the chance arises for the disposal OF the
same.
They would not be satisfied to have their
little lots of stock driven a mile or two out
in the country. They would naturally re-
gard such an ordinance not Onlyas a severe
inconvenience to themselves, hut also as
an obstacle in the way of buyers. Rather
than submit themselves to such Obstruc-
lions, they would prefer taking their stock
to some more generous market.
Besides, to pass such an ordinance at tins
| iuncture, would be n rank and unjustiable
interference with the business Of the hotels
in the city, which, for many years, have
kept up stock yards for the convenience OF
their country guests.
1t is absurd to argue that cleanly stock
yards are injurious to health. The fact is,
! that able ~sanitArians have ut times con-
tended that well kept stables and stock
pens are of positive advantage to the
health of persons living in the immediate
vicinity. Many eminent chemists have
expressed = like opinion.
The adoption Of such an ordinance as Is
contemplated by Mr.. Lists resolution will,
/ venture to say, be a severe blow to the
business interests of Wheeling. 1t has
been suggested that there is a live cat III
the meal tub" that the whole thing has
been gotten up to promote certain inter
ests, but l prefer to treat the subject a a
well-intended step in the wrong direction.
| The writer claims aud owns no interest
in any existing stockyard. He simply
writes pro bono pabttcO.

AVERY SEVERE STORM
VISITS THE REGION ABOUT NINGo AND
STEUBRNYILLR.
Houses Destroyed, Barns FacEna and Churches
UnrOfsd, Orchards Lsysld With Tho
Earth and Crops
Rnined.

Early yesterday morning one OF the
most severe storms known in this vicinity
for years, visited Mingo, Brilliant stcu-
benville and the outlying territory west OF
the Ohio, doing a great amount of damage.
About one o'clock the moonlit sky
became suddenly overcast with dark
clouds, and in a few minutes, q terrible
hail storm was in progress. Hail fell the
size of walnuts, and the accompanying
wind gave it such force that it literally
pulled upyoung fruit trees and cut down the
growing corn. After an hour this sub
sided and the elements were reasonable
quiet till between four and five o'clock
when a wind, more violent than that ex-
perienced earlier in the night, arose &C
companied by a terrific rain. Persons who
were out say that the storm surged
down Cross creek into the river bot
tom at Mingo with unprecedented
fury, and the marks it left behind to show
its vehemence prove the assertion.
In Mingo a new house in course OF con-
struction, owned by Robert Turner, was
lifted from its foundation. A large piece
of roof was lifted from the blast furnace
casting house, two chimneys on the new
school house blown down, Henry Bhthe's
house twisted round from its foundation,
the buildings round the coal shaft blown
down; the chimneyS of two of the compa-
ny's houses, occupied by a family named
Oracle and Oscar Martin, were blown
down, the one at the latter house narrow
IL missing the bedroom Of the family and
MASKING q new stove and other kitchen fur
niture to pieces. Reports from the country
show that the river people were not 50
badly treated az those further back. About
six miles out from the riyor, near New
| Alexandria, the barns Of Smylie
Johnson and Benjamin McGraw were
blown down and their contents scattered
over the field, and the Methodist church
unroofed. A half dozen orchards were
swept away entirely, in some casos thore
being not 3 single tree left standing. In
the corn fields the burrows between the
rows became the cutters for the raging
torrents, and the roots were washed bare,
and the wind completed the destruction
by blowing the stalks fat to the ground.
In one place IN a hillside, where
new mown hay was standing in cocks,
it was scattered 80 badly that no semblance
of order could be discovered, the fieldsafter
the rain looking as if the grass had never
been raked. The wheat which was in
shocks was blown to the ground and much
of it will be lost, unless the weather re-
mains very dry.
In Steubenville the storm was less fierce,
although a number Of men found employ
ment all day hauling blown down trees TO
the river, and clearing the streets of the
rubbish. The general direction Of the
storm wa northeast, and it continued
about an hour.
About 6 o'clock last evening the same
territory was visited by another very Sc
we're rain storm, but no details of loss have
been received up to the hour of writing.

A Fine Concert.

A large and appreciative audience as
sembled at the United Presbyterian church
last evening to listen to the vocal music
rendered by the Norfolk Mission Singers.
There are eleven of the singers, four OF
whom are ladies. The music was under
the direction of Prof. Hamilton, and was
certainly beautiful, the programme con-
sisting entirely of old plantation and cabin
melodies of the sweetest kind. They have
only bcon singing together about three
weeks, but their music is harmony itself
and the audience last evening was delight
ed. Prof. Grove, a pleasant and atfable
gentleman, tx manager, and Mrs. Coolie
matron of the musical band.

GRIFFlCH-LUKESS.
A Very Swell Wedding at st. Luko's Chapel
Yesterday.

A Very Swell Wedding ut st. Luke's Chapel
Yesterday.
Yesterday morning at II o'clock at St
Luke's z. +. chapel on the Island, the
marriage of Mr.. NJ. S. Griffith, of Balti-
more, and Miss Laura Berger Lukens,
daughter Of Mrs. Mary Lukens, of the
Island, was solemnenized. The church
was handsomely decorated with flowers
and plants, and looked a perfect bower of
beauty. The guests were handed to their
seats in an accomplished manner by the
ushers, Mcssrs. David n. Fulton of Balti-
more, and Harry Franzhcim and John
Berger of this city, and when the hour had
arrived the pretty little edifce was well
filled with a fashionable audience compos-
ell mostly of ladies.
Promptly at II o'clock the wedding
march, under the def fingers of Miss Sage,
the Organist of the church, filled the build
ing with it's triumphant tones, the doors
were thrown open, and the bridal party
entered. First came the ushers, who pre-
coded the groom and his best man, Mr.. F.
c. Hamilton, of BaltimOre, who were fol-
lowed by the bride leaning upon the arm
of her uncle, Mr.. Jacob Berger. At the
chancel rail the usual positions were taken,
and while the Organist rendered a soft,
sweet air the Rev. J. Gibson CAN'T pro-
'nOuuced the ceremony that made the happy
couple MAJ and wife, the bride beinggiven
away by her uncle, Mr.. Berger.
The bride was becOmingly attired in o
grew imported embroidered robe, with hat
to match, and certainly looked very sweet
and beautiful. The groom, his attendant
and ushers wore dark dress suits, Prince
Albert coats, each wearing a b~Outonniere.
After the ceremony tho bridal party,
with the immediate relatives, retired to
the residence of the brides mother, where
a pleasant reception was held. The happy
couple were the recipients Of many and
hearty congratulations, while the presents
were exceptionally fine. The groom's
present to the bride was u set of diar
mond earrings. Among those pres
emit from abroad were Misses
Ella and Kate Phillips, Of Pittsburg, Pa;
Miss Mary Reynolds, OF Steubenville, and
Mr.. and Mrs. J.. NJ. Reynolds, OfSteubeI-
vile.
Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith left on the I:47
train over the C.. & p. road for Cleveland.
They will also make a tour of Canada.
When the carriage left the house showers
of that omen of good luck, rice, was thrown
after it, besides an old shoe, which re-
manned on the carriage until the station
was almost reached.
