what effect this cold treatment will have
Oh thesn Pittsburgh gentlemen, or
whether they will appeal to the new
board with additional names OF tax pay

OF coming to Wheeling and seek Other

Wheeling people sesk other fields to
show their enterprise. Some four 0. five
years since Capt. Thomas Prince, OF
your city, On The advice of Capt. Sam
enny@itt, took mail contract between
FA,chez and Bayou Sara, distance OF
one hurdred miles OH the Mississippi
river. At that time it was regarded Us
very risky undertaking, as he had to
contend with the large aad elegant boats
Of the Nickeburg and New Orleans
Packet Company. The un,iring energy
and universal courtesy 10 white and
black by Captain iennywilt and Clerk
Juggling have built up q trade second to
none OH tho whole river from Cairo to
the gull. The beautiful steamer Stella
Wi!ds is a great favorite, and Captain
Pennywitt Is as regular at his landings
as a railroad train. Captains Prince aud
Pennywitt and Clark Jurging have good
leason TO DE proud Of their success.
