A more quiet Christmas than that Of
yesterday was never observed in
Wheeling.
The weather was almost IDEAL cold
i'll the early morning and steadily mod
Grating without becoming muddy to-
wards night, while the sun was gener-
ally bright throughout the day. Per-
Eaps the hypercritical might have
wished for an inch or so of snow; but
it was Christmas weather nevertheless,
and the day was most enjoyable one.
Its observance was pre-eminently
characterized by the giving OF gifts
and family reunions; by quiet walks
about the city during the afternoon
ard evening; by good dinners and
tbeatre-going; by friendly greetings
and pleasant visits. It was the best
possible observance OF a day sacred
and dear to the whole Christian
world, and all are the better for the
experienced There was minimum
of drinking, and as result no diso.-
der to mar the occasion. But two ar
rests had been made up to ten O'Clock
last night, and that record on an uni
versally observed holiday, in a city OF
forty thousand people, Is worth noting.
Business was almost wholly sus-
pended in all branches during the en-
tire day. One or two iewelry estab-
lishments, one solitary dry goods store
the candy stores, and the drug stores
and saloons comprised the whole Of
the attempt to carry on business.
Every wholesale and jobbing house,
all the principal and most OF tht
smaller retail stores, and even several
Of the drug stores, suspended business
while the railroads and boats only ran
such trains as they were absolutely
compelled to move. It was a day oil
rest for Che entire community.
