York to this city last week.
After leaving Jersey City the occu-
pants of Pullman car kept hearing a
cat new. Whenever the train stopped

berth and every nook and corner of the
car was searched a dozen times until the
occupants began to get tired of the new,
and they were tired of riding with what
they termed haunted car and were be-
coming desperate. The conductor saws
they were about to command n new car.

Admirers of brave and enterprsng men
everywhere will be sorry to learn of the
illness of Henry NJ. Stanley, the African
explorer. He is not Il perfect man in all
respects, but even his enemies must adj
NIT that he is a brave one. His course
during our late civil war showed that his
views as to the obligations of citizenship
We're exceedingly liberal, inasmuch as he
fought on both sides; but he having been
born in Wales, and not having resided
very long ethis country when the war
began, &c is probable he had no preiudices
on either side and took that method of
showing it. AT any rate the great value
OF his African explorations will atone in
a great measure for the errors of, his
youth.

u. 1928. He came to Wheeling in 1S49,
but almost Immediately went TO Union
town. Pa, where he was in business for
a year. On returning to this city he
at once embarked in business. and was
an active factor in the commercial life
of the city for many years. In 1853 he
married Miss Ann E. Hobbs, youngest
daughter of John L. Hobbs. and taking
an interest in his father-in-law's affairs,
was sent to Buffalo later to Brooklyn,
and still later TO Vicksburg, Miss, where

Returning TO Wheeling, he was trans
