WESTERN TRADE.

cHAMBERSBURGN, MARCH IS.
The wagons which passed through
ihis place from Philadelphia bound west
ward last fall, pretty generally went south
10 the United States Turnpike Road; but
Ibis spring they pass up the Pittsburgh
Turnpike Road. Il is said the wagoncrs
charged at least fifty per cent. more for
hauling to Wheeling than to Pittsburgh,
and that this fifty per cent. will pay the
freight to any point between Pittsburgh
and the falls OF The Ohio--so that the
western merchants have found it their
interest to have their goods taken to Pitts
ourgh in place Of Wheeling.

COLDS AND COUGHS.

Ii seldom occurs that colds and coughs
are more prevalent than a, present. We
scarcely know family which is not af-
flicted withithem ard thegeneral answer
to the common question OF how do you
do z is have very severe cold.'
If it is true, that having company in
misiortune,' is species OF alienation,
then, il is some relief to US to know that
others are coughing as hard as we are,
while writing this ariicle--and our com.
positor as he is arranging the types, has
the satisfaction OF knowing tina, he is not
solo in coughing, but the pressmen are
forced to join in chorus!
AT season when coughs and colds
are so general, the utmost care ought to
be taken--dampness and excitement
should be avoided, and temperance in
eating and drinking strictly observed.
Nesiecting these salutary precautions is
one of the reasons why the item OF con-
sumption is SO fright!ully large in our
list Of deaths. Too many persons when
affected by cold, are in the habit ofne-
glecting it, under the hope that it will
swear off, but in this most persons are
mistaken. 1t may in some cases, wear
eff but it leaves a trace behind which
makes succeeding colds more danger
GUS. Some ofour acquaintances, on this
very day, are laboring under all the evils
Of a. confirmed consumption; and one
or two oflhem are ready to say, that their
case IS hopeless, and that they are incur
able. In the cases we allude to, one of
which is aninteresting young lady Of la,
shis approaching dissolution is attribute
ed to the neglec, of slight coid-,ihe
other is that ola gentleman, who, having
caught severe cold, was constantly put
ting off remedies in hopes that he would
be better tomorrow until at length he
finds that the grave is open for bis recep-
tien, '------ =; - "a
