ness and the consumption of Intoxicating liquors
have not ceased in the United States, there has
been effect produced, truly gratifying TO the
crease of imporlations of wine into the u States
has been, in value, four hundred thousand
dollars This amount will appear still larger when
it is recoecled that in this period of time, the pop
ulaton has greatly increased The friends of tenn
perance would have no good 10 rejoice if the
imports of wine had not diminished. In lo42, there
were imported 2267 0s4 gallons OF wine, at cost
Of SS9S, 005 ,426 ll2 gallons Of brandy, and 9TH
err spirits, at a cost of $575977 In 1874, the value
OF the wine 81 27l 0l9, aud of spirits $3.50 s66.

consumers is full one million dollars, sum more
than sufficient TO pay the interest the debt of
Pennsylvania for half year, to say nothing of the
saving of health and comfort

Ho,o TO Percent The Diseases tohich arise from the
use of Lead in certain TradeS-This treatment is
extremely simple, and only requires the workmen
to submit to the following precautions They are
to take two baths OF soap and water every week,
occasionally adding little sulphur and are to wash
carefully the uncovered parts OF the body with soap
and water at every interval between their working
hours They are TO drink two glasses Of
lemonade, made with sulphuric acid every day, &C.
codng to the greater or lesser quantity of DUST
poisonous vapor with which the surrounding at
mosphere may be charged. AT the same time they
should be more careful than the followers of any
other trade, TO abstain from the of spirtuous H.
quors The efficacy of this preventive treatment is
easily explained by the fact, that the mineral poi
son absorbed is thus converted into a soluble, and
therefore innoxous salt, (suphate of lead and the
saturnine particles deposited on the surface of the
body are taken away.-Popular Record Of Science.

FOR TIE
Democratic Pioneer,
Now published in Upper sandnsky.

Now Published in Upper sandusky.
THE undersigned, believing it to be for the
welfare and better organization of the Dem
ocratlc party, is desirous Of publishing paper
in the above named place, which in politics,
will be thoroughly Democratic; hile at the ,,
same time much other interesting matter Will
appear in it. 1t will be published every week,
and as far as possible, contain the latest IN
telligence.
In taking the responsibility Of publishing
paper, practice has made it necessary to glve,
an avowal of the principles by which it will
be governed, and in so doing, it's deemed slif-
ficient when we say: it will be devoted TO
principles which guarantee to every man,
equal protection, equal privileges, and uni.
versal iberty,--holding the doctrine that all
men are alike worthy of protection, SO long as
the doctrine of freedom and equality are pro-
fessed to be the governing principles of oul
happy land--without distinction bet cen ricl
or poor. Believing such were not the gov
erning principles of the majority in our State
Legislature last winter, we sha be found bat
tleing against all such men and measures.
1t is the intention of the editor to be er
fectly free and uncontrolled by any man o
set Of men; and always willing to receive th'
counsel of such as are desirous Of promotin!
the good cause for which it is published t
vindicate, as the advice of many is more like
ly to be correct than the few.
The full desire being, to print sheet tru
