swer the question seriously, "W hat is Man ?"
Chemically speaking a man is forty-iye lbs
of carbon and nitrogen, dilused through five
and a half pailsful of water In the same
sense, We suppose a woman is one hundred
pounds of flesh and blood, two pounds of
silk ten pounds of cotton, and one pound of
whalebOne, with an indefinite amount of fuss
and feathers. The late Theodore Parker,
takinga vegetable view of man, maintained
that his cultivation was as noble and praise
worthy science as the cultivation of a cab
hage" In an animal view of the matter,
man is, undoubtedly, "the paragon of ami

can: he can snuff, smoke, chew tobacco, aud

IMBEoILrs. One child in one thousand is
an imbecle There are 10000 in the Unit ed
States and probably 500 in New York. They
are so by ill-made marriages, by drunkenness
of parents, by neglect and ill-treatment, and
sometimes by medicine. Very little has ev-
er been done for them, or thought possible.
But it is true that almost all such children
can be brought up so as to gain sufficient
mental strength to take care of themselves,
and be measureGhly intelligent and happy
The schools for imbecles in Paris have shown
this. The little spark of mind they have,
must be watched and famed, and blown by
degrees into flame. 1t may be done in a
large majority of cases. Schools have recent.
ly been established in Massachusetts, Penn

that 1t was large, yet were we surprised when Ne
came into view Of its real magnitude. ana All
more by the extent and complication Of its truIv
immense business: The whole massive structure
is in fact one vast chemical laboratory, in which
the processes of this wonderful art are CONSTANTLY
going on. Medico-chemical science has found
that the curative properties of any substance EXIT
IN some one or more OF its component parts. Thus
the remedial effects of opium are due solely to the
morphia it contains, although this is but one
eighteenth part OF its weight the other seven
teen parts are gum, extrnctve and inert or Offer

themselves reputation for unrivalled excellence
all over ,ha world. Not only does the Doctor
disclaim all secresy in his art and explain every
process and every particular, but he maintains
that this is the only process by which the people
can be supplied with the best possible remedies
for the treatment of disease. The formula bv
which his remedies are made are published in the
medical journals and have been presented to o
large part Of the medical Faculty of the United
States. and are constantly sent by mail to such

Mas-The statement in the Herald last week.
that Mr.. Seymour of this town, and Mr.. Battell
of Norfolk, opposed the Water Act is not true
in the sense conveyed. They, in common with
one of the Representatives Of Winchester and a
large portion of the house, were opposed to any
form Of the bill that would endanger the rights
OF the manufacturers on the pond stream. It
was supp sed that those rights were protected
by the amendments adopted, and there was no
opposition to the final passage of the bill.-E,,-
quirer.
So We're all who voted for the bill opposed
10 any form OF it that would endanger the rights
OF manufactures" Do you pretend to say that
the gentlemen named voted FOR the bill in anv
shape? Don't pretend what is not the fnct.
What we have stated is literally and generally
true IN one sense and in all senses IF their ac-
ton was Mt and proper under the circumstances
why SO sensitive when it is simply and correctlv
stated, without comment or remark ?-HeynH
We "pretend" to say sxactly what ve
did say, and further state what is literally and
generally true, " that both Mr.. Seymour and Mr.
Battel voted for the bin as it was ,.aaaimous,,,
recommended by the Committee, though not as
the representative from Winsted desired. The
Committee recommended that the dam should
be raised three feet, and Mr. Hall wanted il
raised but two. Mr.. Beardsley was entirely sat
isied with the Committees report, and it was
adopted, !" the gentlemen named" voting for the
bill. The delectable Clarke seems to be slghtaals
insane on this aqueous question, and we don't
feel at all inclined to cut off his acaer prioieges

young man from WATERFOWL, son of DR.. DeFor.

vious to departure for Havana, and that no
trace of him could ever be discovered, though the
most active search by his father his friends and
the police was instituted and protracted for a
long time His father had long since given him
up for dead, as no reason appeared for his alb.

that he had been foully dealt with Suddenly

THE OXYGENATED BITTERs.

Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Heart Burn, Water Brask,
Sour Stomach, Jdundice Flatulegcy, General DsJilfv
&c., find ready relief and speedy cure in this
great remedy.
The Oxygenated Bitters are believed BY many
who have been cured of the above complaints 10
be the only medicine which the nateria med,ca sf-
fords for their infallible cure. 1t is not an aco-
holic preparation, which. while giving a momen-
tary stimulus. reduces the system in the same m
ito but one distinct and different from any niedi-
cal preparation ever compounded. and which will,
in most cases. extract the disease by the roots and
restore the patient to pristine health. In proof
of which, testimony of the very highest and ua-
exceptiohable character is preseDted.

Gentlemen IL first made use of the 0xvgena-
ted Bitters some seven or eight years since Hav-
ing suffered for twenty years from form of Dys-
nensia which was attended with nervous head
ache. on an average of not less than one day in Q
week. was induced by the unpretending recon-
mendation of DR.. Green +" to try one bottle and
if no benefit was received to discontinue the use.
The use of one bottle warranted further trial,
to the extent of some three four. with careful
observance of the accompanying directions. The
dyspeptic symptoms and their depressing, painful
consequences. believe these Bitters produced
an entire change in the habits of my system and
upon the active energies of the digestive organs
now deem myself an exempt from Dyspepsia as
most persons. These Bitters have also been Of
service to other members of my family.
