Item 5 - Other Events

     On July 18,  1996,  WesBanco, Inc. announced the signing of a 
Definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the merger of 
Vandalia National Corporation located in Morgantown, West Virginia, 
with WesBanco Bank Fairmont, a wholly-owned subsidiary of WesBanco, Inc.

     Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger, 
shareholders of Vandalia will receive 1.2718 shares of WesBanco common 
stock or, at such shareholders' election, $34.34 in cash for each share 
of Vandalia common stock.  The holders of outstanding warrants to purchase 
Vandalia common stock will receive the difference between $34.34 and the
exercise price of the warrant in cash. The acquisition, which is based upon 
a fixed exchange ratio, will be accounted for as a purchase transaction, with 
an approximate value of $10,319,000.  Vandalia reported total assets of
approximately $58,300,000 and stockholders' equity of approximately 
$4,300,000 as of June 30, 1996.  The transaction, which is subject to 
approval by the appropriate regulatory authorities and the shareholders of 
Vandalia, is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.

     WesBanco anticipates issuing up to 359,912 shares of WesBanco common 
stock if all Vandalia shareholders exchange their shares for WesBanco stock.  
Management intends to issue these shares from Treasury and, as such, will 
begin to repurchase 200,000 shares of WesBanco common stock in the market.  
This repurchase plan will be completed no later than thirty days subsequent 
to the consummation of the purchase transaction.
