Architect Dan tell, of Cleveland, comes
out to-day with his answer to Architect
I Yost. of Columbus, in regard to the mat
{ ter of the new city building in this city.
| Some time since the city council employed
Mr. iHuitell to inspect the new building
to ascertain if everything was all right in
i>oi.it of safety etc. Mr. I'jnteil did
I so and reported that there were oer
• taiu weak points—not serious — in the
Maiding anil made several suggestions to
strengthen the galleries, stairs, etc. His
suggestions were ai-ted on and the improve
ments made by the Miilding nuperinten
| tsent. Mr. Yost answered Dautell s state
' metit to council, ami sort of "sat dow n ' on
j bis criticism, and now Mr. Dantell comes
I hack at bini. The people, however, have
' «very coniidcnce in Y'ost's abilities as
• :tii architect. and alio in the strength
of t!ie magnilicent new structure.
I Mr. l>anteil and Walter Btytter
) were the architects and btuiders
j •>( our court bouse, and while that building
, is one of the !<esv and finest in the State, it
j is aiso the poorest and most inconvenient
ly arranged structure that could have been
made. The court room is barn-like, and it
1 is almost impossible to be heard in the
! toom at all on account of the high ceil
! irg. Then, too, it is poorly ar
ranged, and is acknowledge by all
lu be a*failure as a court room. The ar
rangement of the city hal! and opera home
rpniks well for Mr. Yost's abilities as an
architect, while Darnell's and Biythe's
I court room is denounced. Mr. Dantell
should let the matter drop, as he is cer
tainly getting the worst of it.

and been so lioeral with their substantial
support and encouragement, and with the
kindest feelings toward the people anions
whom the past two years have been pleas
antly passed, the subscriber regretfully
feel; that the Times is an extra that ran
well It dispensed with, and retires it from
the newspaper lield.
*1 he competition wi'h rhe diiii-'S and
Sunday newspapers of Wheeling is too di
rect close and the territory tributary
to Martin's Ferry too limited in its area
to admit of the publication of a weekly
newspaper at a fair return, and having de
nii n.-traled this to mv complete satisfac
tion. 1 huniblv tender iuv respectful leave.
Presuming that the- numerous body of
subscribers who have not paid their sub
scriptions will do so soon, I will take pleas
ure in returning to the fesv who have paid
in advance the proportion still due them,
so that no person can truthfully sav that
he has lost asingle cent through the in
strumentality or on account of the Times.
The Times was one ot the best country
papers in the state and its demise will be
regretted. Mr, Meek i3 a practical news
paper man, and knows how to run a paper.
He is one of those jovial good hearted
newspaper men and has made many friends
here. As annoter he is unexcelled,'and will

We are glad to see the Ohio River
Line Company emerge from its legal diffi
culties and commence operations. Its ad
vantages to the producers are very great.
It gives them cheaper transportation, and
a saving of a large i>er cent, in the mode of
gauge anil evaporation of theit oil. It gives
them additional market*. as by this line
they c*n ship from Petroleum to Parkers
br.rg. Marietta. Cleveland and other points.
There are numerous advantages to the pro
ducers which they will appreciate and give
the new line a hearty support.
A. Gardiner Jackson has been appointed
secretary and general manager of the com
pany. Gardiner is not only young and
active, but a very competent man for the
position. This was shown in his intelli
gent management of the Star foundry, as
he declared a large dividend from the first
year's business. He will give it all the
push necessary and will make it a success.
This is a lone needed enterprise in this sec
tion. The producers have always claimed
that the old line did not give them a fair
show, but this will give them a remedy.
Mrs. I'hl, of the Sixth ward, who had not
walked a step for twelve years, and who
had not set up for five years, died a few
days ago. having been reduced almost to a
skeleton.
A well known citi/en of Wood county
went to the Indian Territory a few years ago
and in due course of time gained the affec
tions of one of the dusky maidens of the
Territory and married her. together with
one of the finest cattle ranches in that
Territory. When he left here he was
accompanied by a young lady, whom iie
passed off as bis sisier, who acted in the
capacity of housekeeper for the Wood
county man. The young woman, who
was rather prepossessing in appearance,
made a 'uiasti" on a dusky warrior of that
land of promise, and in due time was in
stalled as the red mill's squaw, and from
the latest information it seems that she
reigns supreme in that wigwam. It J
appears also that her husband counts
cattle and ponies by the hundreds. An- )
other brother and the mother of the young
man referred to recently, left here for that
country, and perhaps another chapter can I
be added to this romance by and by.
P. V. Dolan, who will be remembered as I
a law student of Walter Sands, Ksq., this I
city, has completed his studies, and after a
creditable examination, being admitted to
the bar, has gi>n(* to Clarkshurg. his former
borne, where he expects to practice law.
li s many friends here wish him success.
I»r. \V. II. Alexander, who has been con
fined to his room with rheumatism, is able
to resume his practice, whi h will be good
news to his many pbtients. The Doctor
left for Gallipolis,< >, on the Chancellor,
Friday night, where he goes to treat a
chronic case of hemorrhoids, in which the
l»octor has been remarkably successful.
The Academy of Music on Thursday
night contained the largest and most re
lined audience ever assembled there, J.he
ocrasion being the concert given by the
Ada IV Wilson Concert Company, of Cin
cinnati. For some tune past our citizens
have looked forward with pleasant antici
pations of the rich musical treat, which
was fully realized in the rendition of a
well-selected programme. The entire com
pany, especially Miss Wilson, won golden
opinions from our citizens during their
brief stay in I'arkersburg. Mr. <«. L.
Spence, music dealer here, has taken great
interest in the introduction of a higher
grade of music, and will probably arrange
with Miss Wilson for the repditiou of the
complete opera of''Martha" in this city,
Marietta and Wheeling. Mi*s Wilson will
be supported by Anaies, Sullivan, Miss
Julia 1). Guzlav and others, all of whom are
of the best musical talent in America.
The people of I'arkfrsburg may thank
Tom Hull for the rare musical treat above
referred to. as bo alone deserves the credit
of working up the enterprise, and is cer
tainly entitled to the thanks of all lovers
of line music. )

Louuviixa, April t—April waa ushered
o last Sunday by a cold, raw, murky morn
ing, mad* more oheerleu by as intermit
tent snow storm of isolated flakes, -which
dissolved as they fell. We do not know
that there is any especial interest to the
Wheeling public in the fact stated above,
but it affords a good pretext to give rent to
a just indignation with regard to the
streets of this lovely city, and here we
know a chord has been struck that "will *i
» rate uniformly throughout the citizenship
of the Nail City. It is strange that a city
noted justly for its beauty, the elegance of
its residences and tasteful cultivation of
its gardens attached thereto, should be
content with such miserable thoroughfares
as blemish its general appearance. A
stranger never observes the condition of
the streets of a city till it obtrudes itself
obviously before liim in conjunction with
wet weather, which exbibiu in bold relief
the convenienceand general eligibility of
Dilapidated Tfearawrbfkr#*.
The Nicholson, which fails to disclose its
true inwardness in dry weather, is in a
state of hopeless decay and beyond all
hoi* of regeneration, even with the aid of
bard money, which is so potent nowadays
in returning things as well as people to
a sense of their duty. It is undulating
and full of holes, and in many other re
si>ects indicates that the wear and tear of
the elements have been too much for it.
It is safe to ssy that the Nicholson compo
sition will never be put down again in
Louisville. The streets pa ved with boul
ders are also greatly in need of reconstruc
tion. In fact on ever* hand can be seen
evidences of neglect in keeping up the re
pairs of the thoroughfares, and one is
forced to the cynical conclusion that in
Louisville, as in other great metropolises,
the greedy and unsalable city statesmen
intercept the money of the people and
prevents its reaching its lawful destina
tion.
The muddy thoroughfares we have been
discussing suggests readily a popular affecta
tion, which has dominated many feminine
heads and hearts in the past vear, an J
which if euphoniously termed Miuoge.

requires considerable artistic talent, a
blending of conception ami execution.
There are two processes by which this in
ten sting operation can be performed, and
they are dcnoninateJ respectively, paint
ing in the under-glaze and painting in the
over-glaze. In the former process, imme
diately upon the application of the design
to the vase, it can 6e painted; it is then
burned, glazed and burned again, or it can
l>e burned once and then painted, but be
line glaring. The advantage in thi-. pro
cess Is its comparative ease, an l the disad
vantage therein is the danger of the colors
fading and thus necessitating the trouble
of retouching. In the case of over-glaze
painting the vase is burned twice before
the voting artist, with unturned sleeve
displays at one a we'l-rounded arm. de
corative genius and mechanical facility,
after which it is burned a third time in "a
peculiar kiln, dedicated to that purpose
alone. _ You would he surprised at tbe

and adaptivenes* necessary for this kind of
work, and could not find in it pleasure and
profit and a happy deliverance from the

Feminine dillettante in art expand all

china, which they adorn with designs of

effect very charmingly. The«e productions

very nice operation, as the thin* is quite
brittle and liable to crack under the in
fluence of the extreme heat employed.
After this delicate cremation, the gold
tracing must be |>oiished with a burnisher,
an ingenious contrivance, consisting of a
smooth, taporing but obtunded agate af
fixed to a handle of convenient length. A
slight-of hand manipulation of the bur
nisher soon brings out an effulgent lustre
from the dull gold. When the latter is in
clined to be obstinate, some ordinary
whiting moistened a little is applied; after
it has become dry a gentle rubbing with a
soft silk handkerchief is very effective in
burnishing it. Ho lengthy a notice of the
