STEuBESvILBE. May 3.-Some of the peo-
pie of Wheeling seem to have an idea that
their city is in need of a street sweeper
After they have had the experience gained
in this city by practical test, they may
change their minds as TO the necessity for
such an article. Steubenville purchased a
street sweeper two or three years ago, and
one bright morning the City Commissioner
got il out TO clean the North street brick
pavement. The result was unexpected but
convincing The dirt had 10 go some
where, and that somewhere was on each
side of the street, filling stores and covering
goods TO such an extent that merchants ana
clerks were dismayed and disheartened at
the outlook 1t took good two hours 10
get things in shape 10 again do business.
Therefore the street sweeper was retired
to rest, and has been resting ever since
Nevertheless, if Wheeling must have a
street sweeper, and nothing but a street
sweeper will satisfy the people, Steuben-
vile has one that can doubtless be our
chased for song
