THE WAY or 1T.

We notice in the Washington Sentinel, the
following paragraph:
"Mr Ovid f. Johnson formerly Attorney
General of the State of Pennsylvania, and
later one of the editors of the Washington
Union, died at the almshouse Of this city,
yesterday"
This man, but for the demon of rum, would
have held the highest positions in the coun-
try, and died upon bis own estates, honored
and beloved. This is, however, but one case
in thousands that occur daily, of the most
talented and noble-h hearted men in the coun-
try. Can it not be stopped?

JUDGE MASON in rARIs.

The following anecdote is related by the
Paris correspondents of the n Y. Times:
"The Moniteur, in announcing the presen.
tation, makes one Of the most delicious mis-
takes in English ever yet committed in France
IL takes the Y which stands for Mr. Mason's
middle name. makes small y of it, and tacks
it on to the end Ct John, thus: Johny Mason
was presented yesterday" A very disre-
spectfui and irrcv,rent sheet, this Moniteur,
is it not? imagine. this is the first time
that Johny ever figured in State paper or
an official column. However, the authentic
journal atones for this want of dignity by
stating that Mr.. Mason (the John aforesaid)
was taken to the Tuileries in court carriage,
that he was presented to the Empress. aud
was from first to last treated with the u, 'ual
ceremonial"

EJ-The Rockingham Register says that
very Important case was decided by Judge
henney of that Circuit. on Wednesday last.
IT Is important, not SO much on account of
the ease itself, as the principles of law in
volved in it. At the last May term of the
County Court, application IVES made by a
hrm conducting the mercantile business in
hockingham for license to retail liquor.
which was refused by the Court. The ap
plicants applied to Judge Kenney for man
ddmus, requiring the justices to issue the
license. The question involved in the issue
was, whether the County Court had discre
ton IN the matter. The Judge decided that
the Court had discretion. and Of course re.
fused to award the maadamas.

51HEAL THE SlCK.-sIen of liberal educa-
ton at the present day devote all their talents to
discover the means whereby they NAV remove
those painful maladies which assail the human
frame. There is no nobler art than that of heal
ing the sick, considering the numberless diseases
to which man is liable, and which may cause him
to drag out protracted life of distress, or sud-
denly cut him off in the bloom of his existence
and usefulness. We should gratefully seize upon
every means of counteracting their dreadful eff
fects, or causing removal Of those clogs to hap
piness. In those cases where the Liver or the
stomach Is the cause, we would highly recon-
mend DR. Hoohand's German Bitters, prepared by
DR. c. NJ Jackson No medicine at this time stands
higher than these bit:ers, and to those who are
suffering from the horrors Of Indigestion, We say
they are the antidote.
