J Wheeling.— Mr. J. T. Gardner, in his " Elevations of certain datum points," 

 p. 055 of Hayden's Report of 1873, treats fully of the level of the Ohio River at 

 Wheeling, in relation to the levels of the B. & O. R. R., and arrives at the 

 "probable " conclusion that " the B. &0. R. R. results are too low," giving an 

 improbable fall to the Ohio from Steubenville, exceeding 1 foot per mile, 

 which is known to be its true rate of fall, from P. & S. R. R. and C. & P. R. R. 

 surveys. High water at Wheeling is 637' by B. & O. R. R. survey of 1832, and 

 the "channel" is 5S8. This is about 30' too low. Mr. Gardner makes 

 Wheeling H.W. 1852 about 663
