HARRISON V1croRlEs.-We have bare.
ly time to call the attention of our readers
TO the records from other papers, to show
that the ''signs of the tines indicate
glorious results to the Harrison cause.
Every election thus far, since the nomi.
nation of General Harrison, has shown a
large gain in his behalf. First came the
victory of Connecticut, next that of Rhode
Island, after that the almost unlocked for
triumph in Virginia, further particulars of
which may be found in this paper. Now
we hear of the recent election in ALBANY.
where wing mayor for the first time has
been elected, and Wing Aldermen have
succeeded in every ward. But the late
electionin Bedford county, Pennsylvania,
the very hot bed of loco focoism, is as
cheering as any other, showing true de-
mocratic or Harrison gain of upwards Of
one thousand votes.

Miscellaneous.

EprrISa NEwsPAPER.--The follow
ing sensible and correct remarks are from
the New York Sun:
Editing newspaper Is no easy TASK.
MANY persons estimate the ability OF a
newspaper aud the industry and talent oil
lis editor, by the variety and quantity OF
the editorial matter it contains. Nothing
can be more faacous. is comparatively
an easy task for praciised writer to pour
out daily columns OF words upon any and
al subjects his ideas may flow freely and
his command Of language may enable him
10 string them together like bunch OF on
, ions, and yet his paper may be meagre,
poor concern. Bat q jndicous, well in
formed editor, who exercises his vocation
with a full conviction and conscientious
ness of the responsible duty he has to per-
form, wilt conduct his paper with the same
care and assiduity that clever lawyer be-
slows on suit, or humane physician up
on patient. Indeed, the writing part OF
editing newspaper is bat small portion
of The work. The industry even is not
showed here. The care, the taste, the
time employed in selecting, are far more
important /; FOR the fact of good editor is
shown more BY his selections than IN any
thing else il IS hall the battle. But, as
we before observed, an editor ought TO be
estimated and his labor appreciated by the
general conduct of bis newspaper--iis tone,
its temper, its manners, its uniform consls-
ten, course, its aim, its manliness, its coor-
tesy, its dignity, its propriety. 10 pre-
serve all these as they should be preserved,
IS enough fully to occupy the time and at
tenlion of any man. But Il 10 this be adj
dcd the general supervision OF the Office,
which most editors have TO do. il will APP
pear that editing a newspaper is indeed no
easy task.

WILLIAM TUCKER.
Lirer Complaint, acith much
DerGngement of the Ncr-
C0us System.

Mr.. Joshua Roberts was afflicted with bilious
and nervous disease 10 an alarming degree, beng
attended with all the distressing SYMPTOMS which
affect relaxed constitution, viz A sick head
aches loss Of appetite, giddness n the head, pain
IN the stomach after eating, unusual tremors shift
ing spasmodic pains in every part Of the body, cold
chills, sallow complexion, costiveness, and a
constant dull pain in the right side, which of en-
induced the most dreadful debility; indeed, he
thought he was afflicted with every internal com
plant the human body is liable to. He was gene
rally making trial of various remedies, all Of which
were equally fruitless, until he had recourse to
Hunts Botanic Pills, from the superior virtues Of
which medicine his health is perfectly re-establsh-
ed, and is now able TO pursue his employment free
from pain or disease.

Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, EE
fectuaLLq Cured.

Mr.. VIM. Tucker having lately been restored 10
sound state ofhealth, through the efficacy Of DR.
Hunts's Botanic Pills, thinks it an indispensable
duty TO state certain facts relative to the disease
under which he had SO long suffered. The SYM
toms were-a painful obstruction, with a constant
rejection Of food, headache, palptalion Of the
heart, lowness of spirits, troublesome dry cough
dizziness, tighness at the chest and difficulty OF
breathing, almost constant pain in the side, loins
and shoulders, accompanied with much Ianguor &
debility. These Affections, together with an I'M
usual degree of fatulence, brought snch state
OF extreme weakness, as to prevent ,lm from at
tending to his business, and his health appeared
lost beyond recovery. His friends ard relatives
became alarmed at the melancholy prospect, and
strongly recommended Hunts Botanic Pls---they
were administered, and in few DAYS produced
astonishing relief and finally realized a perfect re-
storation TO sound health.

water up TO the chin, SO as 10 scold the
whole neck. On removing his clothes,
he was literally hayed alive. The remedy
was promptly applied till medical aid
could be procured. Two eminent ply

remain with the remedy over bin tall he
should die. This was done, but instead
of dying in six weeks he was reported quite
well, with scarcely scar on any part OF
his person The remedy increases in
value, from the fact that it can be so
easily obtained. Ii is as follows:
Take SCOT from the chimney where
wood is burned. rub it very fine, and mix
one part of SCOT to three parts OF hogs

A DEEP WELL.-The Artesian well AT
Grcnelle, 10 the neighborhood of Paris has
been constructed TO the depth Of 4S3 mo-
tres, of 1884 ieei. 1t has now reached a
bed of dark chalk, mixed with clay, an in
dication that sheet OF water is near. M.
Arago has lately been making some Their
monetrical experiment in this well tor the
purpose of ascertaining the temperature at
The bottom. After waiting thiny-six hours
for the heat caused by boring to subside,
and taking proper precautions 10 avoid in
furious consequences TO the thermometers,
from the great pressure, at the depth equal
10 fifty atmospheres, he lowered into the
well thermometers, which remained
there thirty six hours. IL was found that
the heat at this depth was "a Of Reaumur,
or 90 "a Of Fahrenheit, being about 90
metres for every degree OF temperature.
If no water should be found until at the
depth Of 100 metres more, permanent hot
spring will be established at the very gates
of Paris.
