^htSnidlktuccr, 'ir .<???.. ? - ? ?? - TUVUSDA Y MOKMI VC. JIAKCM 1. Tub mail from the West due at the Postoffice at 1.30 P. M., did not arrive yesterday evening until & The masquerade ball at Union Hall last night was a grand snooess. The costumes were of all styles that ingen uity could suggest. The music and refreshments were excellent. The many friends of Rev. Alexander Campbell will regret to bear that he lies very low in health at his home in Beth any. His recovery is not expected. He has failed very rapidly within a few days past. A young man named Kennedy, while chopping at some copper still tubs yes terday at the shop of Messrs. Fro bo <k Bodlyf in East Wheeling, cut?his foot wide open with an axe, inflicting a very severe and dangerous wound. As on the day before, a number of la dies were at the legislature yesterday. To-day being the last one of the session, we suppose that a good many persons, both ladies and gentlemen, will bo ?'there to see." The business will per haps all be interesting. A great deal remains yet for transaction. Weather.?Yesterday was a very pleasant day. The sun was shining al . most continually. Toward evening a hazy, Hinoky appearance reigned su preme, foreboding rain. People are generally getting the spring fever, as a consequence on. the present pleasant spell. Lady and gentlemen promena- j tiers were plentiful yesterday. Compliment to the President of the Senate and Speaker op the House op Deleoatks.?Tho members of the Senate and House of Delegates have contributed a sufficient amount ($30 in each House) to make the Presi dent of the former (Mr. 8tevenson) and the Speaker of the latter (Dr. Pinnell) each a life member of the American Bi ble Society. The amount has been handed over to the Rev. T. H. Monroe, the efficient and popular agent of the Socioty in this place. The Agent of the National Express Company in this city yesterday shipped to Cumberland and Parkersburg some harness and wagons of Wheeling make for tho use of tho Company at thei points named. David Agnew, Esq., a i gentleman well known in this city, has I been appointed the agent of the Na- | tional at Parkersburg. The wagons of the National Express Company, so trimly got np as they are i in every respect, and hauled about by such tine horses, aro the admiration of the street people just at present. Gen eral Kelley has been getting up all the1 appointments of tho Company in first. class style. Coal bt WEionT.?By an act of tho Legislature yesterday eighty pound* per j bushel was made tho standard weight hereafter for coal in this Stato. Here tofore, coal has generally been sold in .this State by measurement?coal wag gons and carts have been simply brand-1 ed, thus leaving ample opportunity for dishonest haulers to cheat purchasers. By the new law this is obviated. We suggest to the City Council to at once make such an enactment as will pro vide for the enforcement in our city of the law of Coal weight. It will need a set of scales and a weigher, both of which should be provided for at once.? By the new law hundreds of dollars will be saved to purclihsers, many of whom were poorly. able to bear such a loss. Mr. Price, tho overseer of tho city chain gang, has had his posse at work for a couple of days on the pile of "re fuse" lying on the river bank, just above the mouth of the Wheeling Creek. In two days' time the party now at work has made a whole in tlie pile about the size of a prairie dog's kennel, and at tho present rate of pro gression, we think tho force now em- I ployed will get through with the work , of removing the pile referred to about I tiie yeur lilUO. This will be too long for I the moat of us to wait for such an affair, and wo suggest that if it is as fully de* signed as it is desired to have this un-I gainly pile removed, then the attacking column had better be Increased to about live limes its present size. The present Torce scarcely amounts to a forlorn hope. _____ - Thkiik was quite a spicy personal affslr in tho House of Delegates yester day over the locatloji.qf the Stato Agri cultutai College. The House originally located the: College at Charleston.? This the Senate refhded to ^concur in, and struck out Charleston and inserted Morgantown. When the bill eame back to the House, Mr. Trainer, of Marshal,, who . originally favored Charleston, mado a speech in favor of Morgantown. This incensed very greatly some of tho friends of Charles ton? among whom were Col. Witcher aud Capt. Darnell, both of whom took Mr. Traingr to task, Intimating in plain terms that Mr. ?Trainer had greatly changed his mind since he was trading for votes for tho penltentinry. Mr. Trainer wished to kuow If the nflair was going to bo personal, if so, he would pitch in. The Speaker put an end to the matter. Juvenile Rowdyism.?Wo have been informed that the small boys of South Wheeling and Ritchie town are in the habit of meeting almost dally at Cald well's run and indulging in a free fight, with clubs, stones, Ac. So earnestly do they become engaged in their battles sometimes that thoy pay no attention to what or who may bo in the way. Several outsiders have narrowly es caped being hurt, and one house has been badly damaged by tho missiles. Any attempted correction on the part of citizens of tho neighborhood meets with abuse. This state pf afTairs does not argue well for the rising generation of any community, snd ir parents can not exercise a wholesome restraint over their children the aid of tho law must be invoked. In common with many residents of the vicinity named, we in vite our police to break up this custom referred to. The Sanitary Movement.?Our readers will remember that several weeks ago the physicians of the city, by invitation of the Mayor, held a meeting, and in a conference with a committee of the first branch of . the city council, dratted an ordinance pro viding for the appointment of a health officer for tho city. The ordinance was submitted to the council at its first meeting, on last Tuesday night week, and alter some little discussion, was tabled, or referred to committee. ~The speeches made In council against the adoption of the health officer ordinance were to the etfect that,it gave the officer created too much nower. It is very unfortunate, we think, that some plun agreanble to all partiea, could not be fixed upon. The work ol cleauing up the city should be done at once?while "the weather is a little cool at least. If this work be delayed until warm weather sets In, the very act itself will prove a contagion breeder.? Every thing Indicates that we are going to have nu early and open Spring? which will be an extra inducement tc cholera. If our city is not cleaned up before warm weather sets in, the work will have to be let alone, experience having proved that the removal of filth in times of pestilence/Is worse than tc let it lie undisturbed. Wo hope before the next meeting of Council to sefe the sanitary measures agreed upon. What is the difTereftce if one man be clothed temporarily with a "little brief author ity?" Better that than to have the ?'king of Terrors" reigning over us. RrvKB Nkws.?The river was falling yesterday, with about sixteen feet of water In the channel. The Viola left lor PittsbargUat 8 a. m. This was her third start, and we hope she may get through safely. The Potomac, having been delayed In repairing her wheel since theday be fore, left at 1 for Cincinnati. She stop ped at the Belmont Mills for several hours, taking on nails. The Express arrived about 2 a. m., from Parkersburg. She has lost one trip this week, on account of the ice. She will leave at 11 a. m., to-day. The Eagle left at 11 a. m. for Parkera 'rfnt daily packets made their usual trips, for the Unit time this week. The ZanesvilU Is lying at the mouth ? The ?Ncw'State, which has been re painted from stem to stern, was ye?t?r' Say hauled up to the wharf boaU As soon as she gets on ber load ?bo will leave for the Upper Mississippi. A large number of tow-boats, among which were the Bee, Whale, Goal Ajax. Leopard, Wild Oat, Antelope, Tom Reese, Tom Warners, Qxptey No. 2, Dart, Tom FarreU, passed down with a large fleet each of coal barges loaded WThetow-boat ITawk also passed down, j having in tow two iron-clad monitors. They are supposed to be for the Grulr. The landing yesterday was very, lively. , | The Revenue leaves at 4 P. M. ito-day J for Cincinnati. Passengers and ship pers will do well to make a note of this. Our Steamboat Whabf.?Several times since we began to wield the edi torial pen wo have taken occasion to call the attention of our city councils? both old and now?to the present de plorable state of onr steamboat wharf. Acting on our suggestions the council dually appointed a committee to exam ine and reportupon the.condltion of the wharf. The committee, which, by the way, belonged to last year's council, I visited the wharf aud viewed It. Since the aforesaid visit we have heard nothing in regard to the matter, and suppose that we subject has entirely slipped the minds of those whoso duty It ft) to look alter such things. This may have been consequent on the change ol council. We now remind the authori tiea again of the matter, and have only to add, that If. as soon as soon as the i weather will allow, a little money bo expended there, much good can bedono. Thebb was no policeoourt again yes terday, for the third day this week, and for the saino reason that prevailed the day before, vis.: no "wiotlins." Wb notice that quite a number of Singer's Sewing Machines are arriving hero. Tho world-wide reputation of this machine makes It the most desira ble family sewing machine extant. Its wonderful suooess Is unparalleled In the history of sowing machines, and is a more emphatic and conclusive proof of it* merits than any words can be. Many other machines have arisen, had their brief day and disappeared, while the Singer has kept steadily growing in popular favor until their extensive manufactories, by constant work, aro unable to supply the ever Increasing demand. Mr. Woodward, one of the company's traveling agents, is In town, and has, we understand, quite 11 variety or styles of these celebrated machines at the dry good houso of Thoinas Sturgeon * Co.; 138 Main street, where be will be found ready to wait on those who wish to call and ex amine these machines; bIso to Impart instructions necessary to the roinplete operation of the machine. Call and see them. Greenbacks not excepted, the most popular article just now is I-ogan, List A Co.'a Excelsior Baking Powder. The light, crisp and wholesome Bis cuit and Griddle cakes smoking on tho breakfast table, and the happy] faces gathered round the same, tell the whole story far better thsu we can.? This is no fancy ske.ch. ItlssnBCtuai and most ngreeable reality. The Ex celsior Baking Powder Is put up In 6 ounces, 1 pound aud 10 pound cane. T. II.

We must look forwatd Interest to these classes ?f schools f jrltb education of the masses. Our Literary 3aa?l?I Colleges and Academlen ?^S?a?na.sr "Teach your boys what they will prac tico-when they, become men." These 5?ss^rsjrsnsr^S FoaSy profit, will soon be among the ^hiDKS that were." Ask the profess ors and teachers of the Latin and Oretk Languages why so much attention Is paid to these branches ol our best Uni versities and Colleges, and they will toll you they are the boat 'for inental Improvement. Now, we are inclined ??8r?totarar?rorp.?Sy; ssssaJW, - Vd"r.s keeping, Telegraphy, Penmanship, &c., which, if ^glaly pursued cun be made to answer the place of the LhUo and Greek language, and be much more Important and profitable. Our course of education, as laid down In u majority of our best institutions, is like the man who practiced throwing peas through the eve of a large needle. He became so skilled in this particular that he went to^'ve an exhibition o^isskUl before the King, and, after the Inform ance, the King couiplimentod hitn nnd rave him a bag of peas for his skill.? flow let parents and guardians be care ful in choosing a good eduration for their children or wards. Procure tbta which, when acquired, will be or more value than a mere bag of peas. We would not be understood to say the study of so noble a language as the Latin to be of no account. Not so. Its close connection toour mother tongue gives it a prominent place in our list.? But it Bhould not have more than its prominence aeserves. ?r, bo common that, with a limited knowl 'eSgTW the language, a student can pursue any study successfully. bet us quote what Walker says of this study in his American law: I may i safely affirm that one can become a profound l^yer without a general ac auaintance with either French iatin." By the use of Bouvesen s Law Dictionary a student can translate any sentence he may find in the original tongue in Kent's or Blackstone s Com mentaries; and if this is the case, can It pay any student to spend Tears acquir ing a study of no use in alter lire. The largo number of tho massesseek ing a liberal edncation must be jduca ted in our common schools, and we must depend upon our to furnish the great number of our best and efficient "teachers, remembering that, as the teacher Is, so will be thi school. This class of institutions, in order to be a success, must, be fostered and maintained at piblloexpense, as it is rarely they ever succeed when de I pendeiit upon Lbe tuition of its patrons. ' ^ext to this class must rank our busi ness schools where young men are taught those branches pertaining to a thorough business lire. The majority of young men cannot go away from homo in anarch of this class of schools, and every oily of any note should maintain at least a good school of this grade. Our land is filled with young men whose early eu ucation has beeu much iicglectcd, who have not the means or any desire to go abroad in quest of au education, and the commercial colleges are tho only grades ol schools that can supply this deficiency. Here they are instructed in business, arithmetic, book-keeping, telegraphy, commercial law, penman ship and a variety of sciences not less important. Dr. Johnston, with that nowerful insight into human affairs which distinguished his intellect, ob serves that bookkeeping is an art which must contribute to the advance ment of all who buy, and all who sell orall who wish to keep oriiuprove their possessions; of all who desire to be rich, and all who desire to be wise. Let no one. ho adds, enter into business if ig norant of tho method of regulat ng accounts; never let him imagine that any degree of natural ability will ena ble him to Bupply this deficiency. The constant uniform practice of ^ocording pecuniary transactions is highly impor tant toall clasaeaand conditions ot men. not merely because it checks undue and thoughtless expenditures, hut be cause it tends to generate habits or sys tem, order and regularity; Imparts a power of clear thought and truthful de duction, and contributes more t han any thing else to accuracy and orderly ar rangement-which qualities are charac teristic of every great mind. Tele graphy now should also be a part or a young man's education. It is a study In itself interesting and capable of be ing applied pto?tably. . Tba numereus Htatious along our Immense railroad lines whore a person must bo agontj book-keeper nnd telegraph operator, all at the same time, nrgue much in favor or this science. The same can be said of arithmetic. In order to make good, nccurate and rapid accountants, special aUenUcm should be paid to the funda mental rules, or the ground work of tho scienco, in rapid addition at least. Of this you may soon convince your self when you consider that ?u have to add at least five hundred times where you have to multiply, " , or divide once; and further, that the slightest error in addition may produce the greatestconrusion. , . , We do not iuean to say that a knowl edgo or'.ho higher branches of arith metic can be despensed with ; ?nly thiit whilst familiar with the whole subject. In the abstract, you must bo an adept in the working or tho simple elemen tary rules. Kemember that no teacher, however proficlont, can confer on you experttiess. This must result rrom dill gout practice. In teaohlng arithmetic two things are requisite to sliceeRs: 1st, accuracy; 2d, expertness. Commercial law should bo a prominent part also of a good education?at least so much as will enable young men to know how to make a bargain, or what constitutes a bargain, nVso the law of niOTCantllo paper; and, in fhot, to'bp. iuWlbgent a Eeneral knowledge of this subject, and, last, also a good hand writing is inilt seir not only au accomplishment, bni essential In mercantile pursuits, and, in conclusion, let us say to the young men of Wheeling and West Virginia in general, we would Invite yout at tention to the Wheeling Commercial College, advertised in another column or our paper. This institution, opened under Arable auspices, bids fair to stand at the hoad ot this grade or schools. Also, to remember that the chances for young men to obtain gooa situations are better at home where thev are known than abroad among strangers. Yours, Illinois. West Virginia Glass Works.
