Terrible Five women and two men arrived at

settlement entirely Naked and their feet frost bitten
They stated, that their company had arrived at
Truckey's Lake, on tho east side Of the mountains
and found the snow so deep that they could not ira
vel. Fearing starvation, sixteen Of the strongest
(elevcn males and five females) agreed to start for
the settlement on foot. After wandering about .
number Of days bewildered, their provisions gave
out. Long hunger made il necessary to cast lots to
see who should be sacrificed to make food for the
rest, but at this time the weaker began to die which
rendered the taking Of life unnec, ssary. As they
died, the company went into camp and made meat
Of the dead bodies Of their comp snions. Nine OF the
men died, and seven were eaten. One Of the min
was carried TO Johnson's on the back Of an Indian.
The company left behind numbered sixty souls, ten
Of them men, the others women and children. They
were in camp about one hundred miles from John

ther saw her husbands heart cooked.

Why should there be so much Disease? Be
cause, IN numbers OF things, we do just wha,
by our nature we were never intended 10 do.
For example:
/. Man is intended to draw in fresh air eyery
time he breathes. Almost all people, when in
their shops, breathe the same air.over and over
again. To show the necessity of allowing
fresh air continually to enter living rooms, and
the bad air 10 escape, during each minute oil
his life, every man DESTROYS quantity of air
twice as large as himself.
2. Man ought 10 breathe fresh air every
breath. Our sewers and drains are SO bad that
the yapors and foul gases rise, and we breathe
them.
8. Man was intended to take exercise 10 the
open air every day. Neither his heart, his
stomach and bowels, his liver, his skin, his
lungs, his kidneys, nor his brain will ACT right
", without walking exercise every day. Most
Of us do not gel any walking exercise, or only
short ones, which is scarcely Of use.
4, Man was formed to lake simple, plain,
wholesome food. He eats all sorts Of things,
which not only do him no good, but do him
harm; and drinks large quantities of beer,
spirits and wine, which hurt his stomach, and
take away The proper use of the brain.
Man ought TO wash himself all over with
water every day, so as to cleanse the pores OF
the skin, else they get stopped up; he cannot
perspire rightly, and his skin cannot breathe
Go 10 Whitney's.
6. Man should wear clean clothes next his
skin, because the body discharges bad fluids
AT present, many people wear the same clothes
day after day for weeks together.

CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

H,HIS has been the the secret principle Of too ma

Of detection. Bot q new era in the Tea Trade has

of its introduction. They the first to raise the
banner of Reform on which it has inscribed the sim

A compete revolution has been the consequences
Let consumers Of Tea everywhere look at what W.
have done.
LIST. We were the FIRST to send them Teas that
ued to be called too good for them before.
I'd. We have driven out the market vast amount
Of trash, and introduced better class Of Teas than
has yet been Sold Importers Of Tea often come
to us to get for their own use, and for their friends
fine qualities they can find nowhere else.
ga We have reduced prices more than % per
cent, both in Black and Green Teas. The whole.
sale grocers say we are running the trade and call
US humbugs. This we have done already, and now
see what we are ready to do.
lst. We will sell Teas by the single chest, hall
chest or IA pound box at the prices that whole
sale groccrs pay to the importers when they buy by
the HUNDRED packages.
I'd. The wholesale groce,s allow only IS or q
most IA pounds tare to the half chest. This is
cheat. We allow, in most instances, l5 and 10 lb
tare on the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake 10 sell every kind o
Tea, from from sic to t,celpe cents per pound chea

How can wo do this asks the county merchant

An Englieh importer lately boasted to US that h
could make more money by nding bad Teas to tn

resolved 10 overthrow this fraud and now call upo

for the growing crops, and indeed for the pre-
vious len days il had been uninterruptedly
good, and each day strengthens the expecla-

grain throughout the British Islands and all
Europe. The prospects of still receiving large
supplies from the United States and by way Of
the Mediterranean, added 10 the fine weather
which prevails 10 alIquarters, the markets have
become depressed, and they now present every
aspect of further downward movement
The pota'oe crop is represented TO be free from

was. however, quite paralized and Flour, in

The heavy decline in cotton which took
place at the beginning Of the month has been
checked, and the market has been steady since
the 10Th. The sales have been pretty large
with considerable demand
