could have wished, such has been the charity
of our agents and patrons that they have
never failed 10 commend US for presenting

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that some
people have attempted to discredit the
marvellous powers of Madame Leyeta,
the rush TO her parlors at 290s Chapline
street continues, ard the statements OF
her callers prove the truth OF her claim
to be the most successful clalrvoyant
ever in Wheeling. The throng that
nightly visit her is so great that en-
gagemenss must be made for audiences
with her two and three days in advance.
Recent social and domestic events,
some of which have not been made pub
lie through the newspapers. although
these events are town gossip, have been
brought to light through audiences
with Madame Leveta, and will in most
cases go far to relieve the anxiety OF
some OF the principals in these dap"s'' ="

Wet. Hungry, But No Fish.

Several gentlemen al the Gordon,
among whom were Messrs. McCourtney,
Corey, Wallace, r. imp and Harry Nc
Lure, went down to Cheat on Monday
morning bright and early to try their
luck. But luck was not with them.
The showers were, however, and the
gentlemen caught four fish, and came
back soaking wet, and depressed in
spirits. They lunched right out In the
open air, with the rain pouring down,
which made the molasses on the bread
very thin. Harry Mcclure did much
Dragging about his skill when he left
Wheeling, and he Is greatly afraid Sam
Harrison will hear about his failure and
tell Billy Conard and few other sports
at Wheeling. -King,rOOd Argus.
