converted into a steamer bearing bis name

Last Thursday night, when everything was quiet
the flies all still, the air cool, and everything
favorable for the most nviograting repose, and
every boy vigorously improving it, the order
came-that same everlasting order-to pack up
and be ready to march Immediately. We did so
and almost as soon as light we we're on the road
marching in the direction Of Wsrrenton. Oul
visions of long rest in camp, Of exemption fol

very obvious that the towns interested can expect
40 immediate advantage from their credits.
Everything which can be done by the Govern.

this State, to facilitate and hasten the allowance
Of these credits to the towns entitled to them, is
being done, and as rapidly as possible. And
there does not appear to be anything more, which
the Selsctmen Of the several towns can do until

SVinslOw. Eainer a. Co. aud the
Stale Interest.

The conduct Of Messrs. Winslow, Lanier
G Co, of New York, in advancing the mon.
ey to pay the interest on Indiana stocks,
is worthy of all praise. When compared
with the conduct of the State officers, who
have taken an oath to do their duty by
the State, and who, living upon State sala-
ries. have done all in their power to dis
credit her and forfeit her good name, it be.
comes the subject of high admiration. This
is not the first time this eminent 6rm have
shown liberalty and generous disposition
towards our State. When the rebellion
first broke out. and before war loan could
be effected, they rendered the use of large
amount OF money to the State authorities to
enable them to equip our troops. And sub
sequeotly, before tho war bonds could be
converted. they advanced large sums at
various times for the purchase OF arms and
equipments. Their assistance in these re-
specis was always timely; and now when
they step forward to save the States credit
by advancing so large sum, they display .
mAgnaniminity towards US and just conf
dence in the integrity of the State. which
by contrast EXHIBITS the action Of our State
officers. who especially charged with
m maintaining the financial character Of the
State. in light at once shameful and dis
gushing. The public should understand
these facts, that justice may Be done to

THE following article from Dr. Halls
Journal Of Health, contain. practical hints
! on various subjects that are worthy o!
attention:
II Is unwise to change to cooler clothing.
except when you first get up in the morning.
2. Never ride with your arm or elbow
outside any vehicle.
8. The man who attempts 10 alight from a
steam car while In motion is fool.
4. In stepping from any wheeled vehicle
while in motion, let it be from the rear, and
not in front of the wheels; for then, if you
fall. the wheels can no. run over you.
5. Never attempt to cross road or street
in a hurry, in front OF passing vehicle; n
if you should stumble or slip. you viii be
run over. Make up the half min ute lost by
waiting until the vehicle has passed. by in-
creased diligence in some other direction.
g. 1t is miserable economy TO save time by
robbing yourself OF necessary slesp.
z. Ii you find yourself inclined TO wake
up at a regular hour in the night and remain
awake, you can break up the habi, in three
days, by getting up as soon as you wake.
and not going to sleep again until your usual
hour for retiring; or retire two hours later,
and rise two hours earlier for three day. in
succession; not sleeping a moment in the
day time
8. II infants and young children are in-
clined to be wakeful in the night, or very
early in the morning, put them to bed later;
and, besides, arrange that their day nap
shall be in the forenoon.
9. "Order is heavens first law" regularity
is natures great rule; hence regularity in
eating. sleeping, and exercise, has a very
large share in securing a long and healthfui
lie.
10. Ii, you are caught in = drenching rain,
or fall in the water, by all means keep 10
motion sufficiently vigorous to prevent the
slig htess chilly sensation until you reach the
house: then change your clothing with great
rapidity before a blazing Ere. and drink
instantly pint Of some hot liquid.
IL. To allow the clothing 10 dry upon
on. unless by keeping up vigorous exercise
until thoroughly dried, is suicidal.
l2. If you are conscious of being in q
passion, keep your mouth shut for word.

dead in a rage.

hack and let him alone, he wants arterial

heart to throw il there In a horizontal line.
