FEARFUL AND FATAL MALADY AT GALENA,
lLL.-We learn that fatal maady broke out
a short time since at Galena, which defes all
the efforts of physicians II is nev type of
disease, and with symptoms entirely peculiar;
so much so that the physicians fear its attacks
more than that Of any epidemic which has
ragged through the country for years. Its
first effects are to produce intense excitement,
mental and physical, succeeded by loss of ap-
petite and great despondency. The doctors,
in every instance, have been unable Ia cheek
it before reaching this stage af the disease,
although few have been saved by being
sent out of the city. 1t is called the "Du-
buque fever" or "fever of Dubuque"

"IIOnor TO whom Honor is Due."

A few days since one of the leading Demo
Gratis of this place came to our Office, subscri-
bed for our paper paid for il, and said to us
that f the Wings would not sustain out pa
per, the Democrats would. Will that noble
hearted democrat--that MAN--accept our
thanks for the very gentlemanly treatment
we have received at his hands? Though we
differ in politics, yet there are great and mo-
entous interests in which we are eaqually and
mutually concerned, and for the promotion Of
which, we should make "a long pull, a strong
pull. and pull all together"
To oour whole-souled Whigs-for many
there are in Sandusky County-we would
very respectfully return our thanks for the
manly and dsinterested manner in which
t hey have come up to our support. But
still our paper has not more than half the
circulation it ought to have. Now let each
subscriber obtain one additional subscriber
which we think can easily be done, and
our subscription list would be doubled; which
it really ought to be, to enable us to publish
the right kind of paper.
Who will take hold? Who are the Wings
who are tie MEN in our party We will see.
