COUNTY ROADS Roads throughout the
county have been sadly neglected during the last
two years The time Of working, according TO
law, comes in q seasen when farmers are SO busy
that they pre- iel paying their tax And thus the
money passes into the Treasury that should have
been spent in bettering our Roads. This has re.
suited in the neg lect 10 which we allude; and we
are now suffering for it. A great many of oul
Roads are now impossible, where had they beer
properly worked, they would have been good. A
numper OF places, we have seen the water from
wet weather springs is permitted to run all .ovel

same "Old Molly Stark" has great deal
of good land, as good as can be found in

nous pile of wheat. barley, oats, corn, po-
tatoes and apples beyond calculation.

Disease of the Liver.

By this disease we understand an inflam
matiun other in the membrane or substance
of the liver, known by dull pains in tine
right hide, the stomach always disordered
the yellow tinge OF the skin, dry cough
tongue coated. costiveness. high-colored
urine, and Of a thick nature; severe weak
ness and severe pains in the head
The quantito of corrupted humors in the
liver, causes defective secretion of the
bile. The liver when healthy, serves as a
filter to the blood, to seperate all impuri:y
from it, or to refine it. When diseased, it
cannot purify the blood. which, when sen,
to the lungs, brains, and other parts in a
morbid condition, may Cause Jaundice, Con-
sumption Insanity, &C.. and Withholding the
natural stimulus, 10 the intestiues, causes
Dyspepsia, Piles, and other complaints, as
you perceive the direct way to unrave. and
tear the whole system to pieces.
A patieut, suffering from this complaint,
should resort to speedy relief. Yet there
are very few medicines worth a cent in Gu
ring diseases. Wha. then shall be done!-
We say, use Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills,
as they are camposed of plants and roots;-
they will be found sure cure for this pain
full disease, because they purge from the
body those corrupt and stagnant bumors,
and so cleanse and renew the blood, which
is the cause MOI only of the disease of the
liver, and the inflammation of the kidney
and the bladder, but of every description of
disease Grom 10 of the above pills,
taken every night on going to bed, will in
lew days. entirely relieve the body OF every
thing that is opposed to health.
DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold by
all dealers in Medicines.

WHEELING, ISLAND HOME D
Nav 18th, 1858. \

EDITOR BELMONT CHRONICLE: 1t is no
often that have occasion TO reply to 81
base, scurriIous and cowardiy an attack a.
that which was made through the columns
of your paper of the 18th inst, on mysel
in connection with Reverend gentleman
of this city, between whom and myself
there exists the closest ties of friendship
and association.
The communication referred to appeared
under the caption" Island Home, Whee.
ling, May 4th," and signed al" "lsland
Home" is an appellaticn signed by me tc
communications which have written, and
which were largely circulated at the time
of their pub lica,ion.
This stabber in the dark of his superiors
used this appellative as indicating the
place and the person from whom that foul
communication should have emanated,
thereby permitting the unjust inference to
myself that | was its author.
The facts are, sir, neither myself nor
any member of my family were present at
the lecture referred to, and the whole of
the commun cation is damnable fdbrica-
tion and a LIE, from beginning to end.
have been informed by persons who were
present at the lecture that it has never been
excelled, if equaled, at any time, by any
ever delivered in this city.
| call upon you, sir, to give me the name
of the puppy dog who wrote that cummuni-
cation, (as you surely would not permit an
anonymous personal communic ication to ap-
pear in your columns,) that he may be dealt
with as he deseryes-as q fend in human
shape, is more TO be dreaded thap the MIDI
nigt ass sassin.
| make this demand under the persuasion
that you would not willingly lend yourself
as an instrument to commit and perpetuate
so gross an act of injustice towards an id
noceni person; and, moreover, insist on
having the benefit of this rejoinder made
public through the columns of your paper.
Respt'ly, yours, G. L. CRANMER.
REmARKs.-lf the communication refer
red 10 was intended to be wha: Mr.. GRAN.
MER styles it, it is sufficiently met and re-
futed in the above. But that the writer in.
tended to shoulder his communication on
any other person, we do not believe. 1t is
very possible that "H." No. 2 was not &C.
quainted with "H." No. l, widely as he
was known as a writer. As to the demand
upon us for The name of the writer, we do
not recognize the authority of any such re-
quirement; and if inclined to give it, we
could not without violation of our obliga-
tons to correspondents. We more readily
take this position from the fact that we be-
leve "H." Nc. will embrace the first op-
portunity to disclaim all relationship to
"H." No. l, anG himself take the response
bility of telling who he is. We do not
know persl nalIy either "H." No. or"H. :"
No. 2, but hope they may meet at early
day and settle their difficulty without the
use OF enY more such harsh words as the
italicized above. We, of course. do not
know which to credit; and if ''H." No. 2
has made an unjust attack, we want him,
no, us, to shoulder the responsibility. 1t
is business that we do not wish to take
any part in.-E2. CHRoS.

MURDER.-The body of woman was found on
ahe hill back of Wheeling on Saturday last. She
was known a woman of low character, who
slept in stables, or open air, as convenient. The
evidence was indisputubie that she had been bru-
tally murdered. A man by the name of john
Burns is under arrest for the crime. Several
other are arrested as accumplices, each of whom
have shown conclusively that they at least are
acquainted with the facts. 1t seems that the mur-
