A Bad Thing for Wheeling.

This morning change OF time on the
3. & o. rold went into effect, and the ar
rangement thus entered upon seems to be
about the worst which could be devised for
the business men of this city, as well as
the inhabitants of the towns along the
line. 1t is particularly bad for the Wheel
ing newspapers and their patrons in the B
& o. towns. The first train east in the
morning is the Cumberland acc ommoda-
ton, a slow train, leaving at $40 Q. M,
while the fast mail docs not 90 until S:55
Under the old arrangement, the fast train
left at 5:25, or three tolrs and half esr-
lier. THIS simply throws mails back that
lenght Of time, delays the departure OF
travellers, and is unsatisfactory generally.
