considerable repairing upon it.
The property across the street was
In danger at one time. but the
building burning slowly, and the
blaze confined by the metal roof
and the protection of huge tree
in the fronto Of the building, saved
the opposite side Of the street.
The loss to Mr.. Byers is consider

to have been from sparks from the

West Wheeling has a religious
sect called the Hellerites. which
has its peculiarities. They do
not believe in the use of
ballot (and we cannot blame them,
seeing how it is caricatured in the
United States), and take no part
in elections (which is wise. since
they are rarely the best men to be
voted for). They spend four hours
in their meeting house every
evening. and ON Sunday begin
services at 5 a. M, and continue
them until IL O'Clock at night, al.
lowing only short intermission
for meals.
