Messrs Edttors:- We will not presume
that there is any carelessness on the part
OF physicians in giving prescriptions for
liquor. Yet ii is possible tina! thsy may
fail to discriminate clearly enough. or
sometimes may act On too slight knowl-
edge OF the necessity or wants OF tho sp-
plicant. Care should be ex. rcsed that
the wholesome influence of the Law be
not prejudiced in this way. Further we
would suggest if It is not the intention of
The Law tina, liquor shall be issued in
any Csc without first procuring pre-
scriPton from physician.
Il is to be hop d that everything calcu-
lated 10 give force and { ffictency TO the

The carbonate of lime is doubtless held in
solution by cabonic acid present in the water,
while the other saline matter merely makes the
solvent power Of the water.
A celebrated mineral spring in Vermont has so
large proportion of nitrogen gas in solution
that it is lighter in equal bulk than distilled water,
saline matter being almost entirely absent, yet it
often exerts highly curative effects, especially
marked in chrome and cutaneous affections.
! must regard this water as belonging to the
class of pure waters which act incidentally and
curatvely in external application, through an
increased solrent poicer they possess"
Undoubtedly DR.. Hayes is correct in the views
above expressed The action of pure water
like those of Berkeley Springs is soon apparent in
the infantile softness impaired to the toughest
skin. To the fair-sex-over and above its medi-
cinal value-this beautifying effect is more GER
tain than they can derive from all the cosmetics
of the perfumer.
But this water has value far beyond the beau
tyng of the skin. To those afflicted with
rheumatism, neuralgia, gout calcalous affec-
tions, and the whole brood of cutaneous diseases,
it presents one Of the most reliable means of re-
lief. The sedative property of its nitrogen,
which it contains in large amounts, combined
with the very minute quantity of lime and other
irritants, Gains the nervous system, while by its
internal use it dilutes the acrid qualities Of the
bloed and removes from il the extraneous matters
that degrade il and induce disease; and by its ex
ternal application the skin, being deterged and
purified, performs its functions in a normal and
hygienic manner.
With great confidence, therefore, call the at
tention of my professional brethren to the merits
of these waters in the diseases have indicated
and others requiring similar curative agencies.
Very respectfully, your obedent servant,

This notorious case occupied the attention Of
the u. S. District Court throughout Friday and
Saturday. Ii is n suit under the Fugitive Slave
Law, brought by Bermami S. Garland, Of Mis-
souri, against s. Nj. Booth, for 81 900, being the
value Of the slave Glover, who escaped from Gar
land some two years since, was arrested one year
ago last March, and lodged in the Milwaukee
county JAIL He was rescued from there by mob
instigated by Booth. Booth was convicted on
criminal trial for aiding in the rescue, and SEN
fenced to fine and Imprisonment. He was releas-
ed from prison by our State Supreme Court, on
writ Of habeas corpus. The civil suit for damages
has been once Of trial before in Milwaukee, and
resulted in disagreement of the jury. 1t was
noticed for new trial at this term, and came on
last Thursday, which was occupied in getting
jury. The evidence was submitted Friday, and
the summing up took place Saturday. J. L.
Arnold, Esq, of Milwaukee, appeared for Gar
land, and ]. III. Paine and J. L. Mills for Booth.
The latter gentlemen INDUCED in the most violent
phillippics against the Fugitive Slave Law, ap-
parently resting their chances for success on the
prejudice which they might create in the minds
Of the jury against the law under which they were
solemnly sworn to render a verdict
We may as wellsay here that the comments Of
one two of our contemporaries on the style in
which the jury was selected, are the mercst hum
bugs, and are used for no other purpose than TO
get up little sympathy for political purposes
The pretense that a jury in civil case should be
the judges Of the lar, was secuted by Gen. Haine
himself, when raised by his client, Mr.. Booth.
The jury was not out over ten minutes. The
first ballot stood ten for the plaintiff TO two for
the defendant; the second was unanimous for the
plaintiff.-.Nod. Democrat.

Most people think the selection Of suitable
matter for newspaper the easiest part Of the
business. How great an error Ii is by all means
the most difficult. To look over and over hund-
reds of exchange papers every week, from which
TO select enough for one, especially when the ques
ton is not what shall, but what shall not be
selected, is no easy task. lf every person who
reads a paper could have edited Il, we should
hear less complaint. Not unfrequcntly is il the
case than an editor looks over all his exchange
papers for something interesting and can abso-
lutely find nothing. Every paper is drier than a
contribution box and yet something must be had ;
his paper must come out with something in il, and
he does the best he can. To an editor who has
the least care about what he selects, the writing
that he has 10 do is the easiest part of-the labor
Every subscriber thinks the paper is printed for
his own benefit; and if there is nothing in it that
suits him, i must be stopped; il is good for moth
ing. Just as many subscribers editor may
have, so many tastes he has to consult One
wants something sound. One likes anecdotes,
fun and froc; and the next door neighbor wonders
that man of good sense will put such stuff in a
paper Something spicy comes out, and the
editor is biackguard. Next comes something
argumentative, and the editor is a dull fool And
so between them all, you see the poor fellows get
