Mot ?8 i f 7 FwtMntli Stravt 7 32, Z W Jc OJLXC PSXLL rnuum a?d raonmoH, TUESDAY, JKJLY 2,1878. Municipal Nhort-l'omlugN. The City Fathers, or a portion of them at least, are working up a reputation that bid* fair to become rather odorous in the not trill of the people at the present high range of the thermometer. There is a neglect of the plainest requirements of law that is extremely culpable; a disregard for the plainest principles of ? political economy, or any other kind of eoonomy, that is refreshing, simply be cause of its exceptional character in the his tory of our municipal affairs. If there is one thing in the laws of this State more explicit than another it is the statutory proviiion regulating the appropriations of money by the city of Wheeling. It specific illy requires that the municipal budget shall be made up in the month of May or June; that'ii to aay, the amount of available funds that may be placed at the command of the four lead ing committees baring been ascer tained, the sum ao ascertained shall by ordinance be appropriated to the work of aaid Committees, in such amounts as the Council may determine. We say that the law ia specific as to the time when and the manner in which this distribution shall be made, and yet by the action of'the Second Branch in re fusing to assemble last Friday evening the appropriations have been suffered to go by default. In other woi;ds, the Coun cil has committed a flagrant violation of the law. What its effect from a legal itand-point will be only the future can determine. If a proper case should arise it is more than likely that the Council will have cause to regret iUs culpable ne glect of an imperative duty. It is ques tionable at least whether their appropri ations in the future will be of legal effect unless made under the four-fifths clause of the enactment, which will be exceed ingly troublesomo in its operation. The responsibility for this clear violation of law lies at the door of the Second Branch of theCouucil. At the meeting of Tuesday, June 25th, the opinion of the City Solicitor was giv en in writing that the Council must con fine its appropriations to ita known available funds, and that it was powerless to borrow money without the consent of tho people, expressed according to law. It therefore became necessary for the Finance Committee to review its action based upon the proposal to borrow forty thousand dollars and to framo the ordi nance in accordance with the actual con dition of the treasury. With the knowl-1 edge that a very limited sum of money would be applicable to the necessities of the (our leading committees the Second Branch proceeded to the consideration of the report of the Committee on Streets Alleys and Grades, the most extravsgant in ita recommendationi that has been presented to Council for a long time. Beoause the First Branch after the proper notification, without waiting the action of the Second Branch on said re port, adjourned to meet on Friday night, the President of the latter dsimissed it without a notification to meet on the night fixed by the FirstBranch. ? We are reliably informed that the Presieentof the First Branch, and Mayor pro ten, directly forbade the Sergeant to notify the members of his branch to as semble on Friday night, but afterwards, when the importance of the matter was pressed upon his mind, did give his con sent that the members of the distinguish ed body over which be presides might be called together or notified at least to meet on Friday evening. A few of the mem bers obeyed the summons and the Pre aident was not one of those who came early. There was a failure to get a quo rum and a consequent failure to act upon the ordinance in a legal manner. The First Branch succeeded in getting a quorum and received the amended re port of the Committee on Finance. The committee found a little leas than twenty six thousand dollars available for the use of the four leading committees, and recommended the division of the amount ' as follows: Water Works, $10,000; Light*, $2,000; Fire Department, $4,000; and Streets, Alleys and Grades, $10,000. The First Branch adopted the recom mendation of the committee and pro ceeded to amend the ordinance as passed 1 by the Second Branch, by the ineertionof the above aums. The action of the First Branch, however, doea not give vitaliiy to the ordinance, nor can the future ac tion of the Second Branch do so. It has passed tbemeies and bounds of the law and the Branch in fault will have to bear the responsibility of this palpable viola tion of the statute. Waahinglon CouulyXews. Wublogtoo, r?., Reporter. The click of* the reaper is now heard on every farm. A better wheat harvest has itldom been gathered than the pres ent one. Thirty thousand pounds of wool were delivered at tho Hempfield depot on Sat urday last?and a large lot on Monday. There are msny loafers about town who could set employment now in the harvest fields if tbey would work-but they won't. There is a lady in this borough, fifty years of age, robust and in good health, who has not been upon Main street for 28 years. ? The basket picnic at Mitchell's Grove, near Taylorstown, on the 4th instant, promisee to be very large. The train will Uave the Hemj field depot a little before 9 a. m , and will leave the grove at 5 p. u. Fare for round trip 15 cents. The stockholders of the Washington County Agricultural 8ofciety met in the Town Hall on Saturday last They had rather a stormy session: The managers were finally authorised to lease the grounds to any person or company; for the purpose of holding faira. Fitly head of fat hogs belonging to 0. W. Chaney, came in on the Hempfleld this morning for Pittsburgh. This shows the value of railroads, for if there was no transportation fat hogs could not go to market when the thermometer stands at 88? in the shade. The W. A W. also bronght in two car loads belonging to Mean, Cross and Gordon, near Waynes barg. Tint sham battle business which threa tened a fsw weeks ago to become a trou blesome euidemio, it appears, doea not spread. The Waynesburg fightists now give notice that they will substitute a norse race on the Fourth of July, and the Barnsville warriors have not been able to enlist enough iutereet in theiri, to make it a success. Leaving out the dan* ger and bard work pertaining to such I feats of arms on a hot day in July, it is too expensive for the men and the times. -wtubmg braid, WELLS BURG, Farther Extract* Irom the Diary ol an Old River Pilot. WZLLIBU&O, Jlllj 1. Kdlten IfittUfetoecr. We open the diary again: Date, June 1,1844, at Welliburg: Fine weather; prospects of a bountiful harvest. Politics regularly opened up; H. Clay againat Jaa. K. Polk. Floar $3 50. Sept 1,1844. The wheat crop only an average one- Everything elae in the greatest abundance. Floor in Cincinnati $3 05. Politic! in full blast. The people of thia email town generally keep clear of nonaenae in politico, but thia time they have railed polea at many of the atreet cornera, aome of them made like the mute of a ahip. Many kinda of flags with many inscriptions on them; and newspaper*, if you may call them such, with all kinda of picturea in them, from a coon up. The friends of Polk claim that he la aa good a tariff man aa Mr. Clay. [ Here we find tint no entries have been made until Feb. 1, 1848. Eventa were kept in a memoranda, but not compiled in thia book.] June 4, 1848. Great deal of rain thia spring, and cold weather. We had a froat on the night of the 2d. We ahall have a political atorm soon. The De mocracy have proclaimed Can & Butler as their candidates. Religion la not much talked of here. The Mexican war and the Sons of Temperance are all the go. I have forsaken the river thia aum mer. June 11, 1848. 1 have no reason to regret that I am not richer or that I am too poor. July 2, 1848. There la eome enjoy ment after all in hard labor. When you return home to your cottage of a Satur day night to ait down and think that to* morrow ia free to all it's a happy thought, and it was a happy circumstance tbat created Sunday, whether human or divine. How much better it ia for all to conduct themselves morally on Sunday than to do as some do. In my observa tions on thia subject I have noticed that when you see a man atoop to all manner of Sabbath-breaking you aee a man of little thought. You see poor men labor all week and on Sunday you may find them in aome aleahop, or fubingor hunt* ing, or in aome fight about aomething that is of no uae to them or any one elae. On Monday you may aee these men alow ly wending tbeir way to work with sore beads and aour hearts. Everything ia wrong then according to their conatruc tion of right and wrong. July 9,1848. Cold rain all week with cool north winda; flour $3 75, corn 25 to 28, bacon 4 cts, lard 6} to 8 cents, butter 10 cts, beefsteak sella in market at 7 eta. March 1, 1849. I have been to New Orleans amid?t the cholera, and* have made my escape clear. It is a horrible sight to witnemi its ravages. It is beyond description. I waa glad to get away from it. May 1, 1849. Arrived at home. Wellaborg, Oct., 1849. Harvest short; every thing ia now high; flour $5, bacon 5 to 12}. potatoea50 to 75. apples $1 50 Iter bbl~ beef 4 to 6, groceries on the rise. Thia looks like some one ought to be get ting paid for their labor. 11 am satisfied. Wo have had the regular round of reli gon and political excitement, and the world rolls round aa usual notwithstand ing Millerism. October 27,1849. Thia ia a fall day in all its beauty. The yellow leaf, young man, indicates to you that your October is coming; make hay while it ia yet har vest time; apend not your time in idle neis. Go to church, not for rut time but for information, and for the pleas ure of being in company with those who have gathered together to return thanka to God for bia goodness. God will be pleased to see you examining hia worka. He feara no detection. September 28, 1S51. I have been a long time absent from my diary. The river ia now down to low water mark. In many placet! there has been no rain for two months. It has not rained here for aix weeks. In many parta they have hauled water for tweny miles for families and stock. Fine wheat crop. Flour $3 00a3 25, bacon 9 to 12|c, pota toes 30c, applea from 50c to $1 per bu shel. October 5, 1851. .Our town has been tolerably healthy with the exception of acarlet fever, which haa caused the death of many children. The cholera baa been prevailing in the Western Statea. We are about to have an election to ascer tain whether the people of Virginia will accept the new constitution.t Itgivea the right of voting to every citizen 21 jreara of age. October 18.1851. River low; flour ia worth from $3 10 to $315; not much de mand for it. The low water in the Ohio river will be the cause of buainesa not opening. The whole commerce of thia county ia dependent on the river. It has now been very low for two montha, so tbat nothing but light boata can run,car rying very little freight, and that at 50 cents per 100 pounds. All kinds of buai nesa are ao linked together that all are ef fected more or laaa by low water. I will leave in a few days for Cincinnati. November 23, 1851. Returned home after a tedious trip to Cincinnati on a flatboat, and back again on the same boat. We got our boat towed back, the first of that kind of business, which I think will be the principal bualneaa by the steamboata at aome future day, when the great lioes of railroada are completed. Thia ends volume firat. The remain ing volumes contain events more of a local nature, as the recorder had In a great measure quit the river. Wo find very many things recorded of intereat, but an ordluajy newspaper article for bids their mention. The remaining vol umes contain mention of events which have occurred within the time of the present inhabitants of thia neighborhood, but many of them are entirely forgotten. It is likely tbat the volumes before me will show that history does truly repeat itself. * G.B.C. Wlmt the rilUbnrgh JNUIm arc Doing. rltUburgh Leader. During the exceasive heat of the Bum mer monthi it haa been cuatomary (or moot of our iron and ateel manufacturers to ahut down, and accordingly many of them have already doneao, while others are getting ready to suspend.

In a note to the publisher* of hit Justly celebrated Hcnp Book, the famous humor 1st observe* that be invented and pa tented it, "not to make money out of it, bnt to economise tbe profanity of bia coun try." "For," be continue*, "you know when 'the average man wanta to find bis acrap book he can't find bia paste-then be aweara; or if be findi it, it ia dried ao bard that it ia only fit to eat-then he awears; if he uses mucilage, it mingles with the ink, and the next year be cannot read bia acrap. Tbe result is barrela and barrels of profan ity." There ia nuotber circumstance in life under which tbe average man is liable to indulge lu unlimited profanity. It Ja when tbe "family physician'' send! him a bill of one or two hundred dollars for treating hia wife, while that lady'a face has become paler than ever, through the merciless per aecutionsof caustics and mechanicvcon trivances. If he does not impulsively send the whole medical profession on a subter ranean journey, it is because be is a saint and deserves to be translated. The local treatment generally employed by physi cians in this clasa of diseases is not only barbaroua but productive of almost irrepa rable harm.
