/ EARLY BREAKFAsT--ITs EFFEcr on
HEALTH.--Breakfast should be eaten
in the morning, before leaving the
house for exercise or labor Of any de-
scription; those who do Il will be able
to perform more work, and with
greater comfort and .sIacrity, than
those who work an hour or two before
breakfast. Besides this, the average
duration OF the life Of those who take
breakfast before exercise or work. will
be number of years greater than of
those who do otherwise.
II early breakfast were taken where
chill and fever, and sgue prevail, and
il in addition brisk FIRE were kindled
10 the family rooms for the hours in.
cluding sunset aud sunrise, these
troublesome msladies would diminish
IN any one year. not ten-fold but 9
thousand-fold, because miasm is more
solid, more concentrated ana hence
more malignant, about sunrise and sun
set. than at any other hour during the
twenty-four. This, and much more
said upon the same subject by DR..
Hall, agrees fully with our long ex.
perience in a missmatic region Of the
West, the most industrious people who
come from New England, where they
had always been accustomed to early
rising and working before breakfast.
were the ones most liable to attacks in
Autumn Of bilious fever and ague.--
Let Us. therefore, urge every resident
in such a region never to go to work,
nor in fact so much outdoors, before
breakfasting; and let no expense or
trouble about the work deter you from
having your dwellings, purified by fire.
In some parts Of South Carolina, men
have lost their lives from q single
nights exposure TO missm. without
fre. Hence, whenever persons are
to spend q night in such a
their first care should be to-
build large FIRE aud keep near it,
wen IN the smoke, without sleeping,
md so escape all danger from the pois-
nous atmosphere.

WHO ARE ENTITLED TO PENSIONS,

The question is often asked, "Who
are entitled to draw pension?" The
act of Congress, passed July, 1859,
made liberal provisions for granting
pensions to disabled or invalid soldiers
who have served in the army Of the
Union since the 4th of March, 1861.
and also to all widows and children,
(under sixteen years of age, as well
as mothers and dependent sisters Of
soldiers killed in battle, or who shall
die by reason of wounds received or
diseases contracted while in the line Of
duty. The provisions, as whole, are
much more liberal than the old pension
laws for the Revolution or the war Of
1919. The amount Of pensions for to.
tai disability are fixed as follows:
commissioned officers, musicians
and privates, per month, So; Second
Lieutenants, SIS. First Lieutenants.
BIT; Captains, $50; Majors, S25; all
officers of higher rank, $50.
But large majority Of those accept
ed as pensioners are only partially dis
abled. and thu amount of pension is
rated according te their disability, which
may be oue-fourth, third. one-half,
tvo-thirds, &c. Tbedisability is based
on the proportion which the effects of
a wound received or disease contracted
in public service actually disables one
from attaining livelihood.

TFull confirmation Of the shoot
ing of Major Thomas Hamrick and
Captain Evans by EYereti's gang Of
thieves and murderers has been re-
ceived by the Maysville Eagle. The
first report that they had been killed in
a skirmish with the rebels is false
They were brutally murdered while at
the house OF Capt. Evans. unarmed
and defenceless. Two others were as
sassinated at the same time and place.
Hamrick was formerly Major in the
Twenty-third Kentucky. and distin-
guished himself at the battle Of Stone
River. He resigned several months
ago. Evans was a Captain in the
Tenth Kentucky Cavalry, and was al
home on a visit. Reliable reports
state that soon after this atrocious mur-
der the rebels were overtaken by
Lieutenant Colonel Maltby, with two
battallions OF the Tenth Kentucky
Cavalry, when a skirmish ensued.-
About a dozen rebels were killed and
wounded and twenty captured. More
than a hundred horses were taken
from them. The rebels then scattered,
and our forces we're still pursuing
The Federals had one man killed and
several wounded in the melee.--Lou.

AA UNEXPECTED CALL.--On Sunday
last, a man who has been residing in
our city for some time past, and who,-
since bis coming here, csplivated aud
led TO the altar one of Portsmouth's
fair daughters, was, very unexpectedly
to both himself and wife, called upon
by q woman and her sister, who bail
from Maysville, and insisted that the
aforesaid man, whose proper name is
Halliday, did. in July, 1855, marry her
in the Town of Aberdeen, Brown county.
This procedure upon her part sur
prised the wife number two, and she
had the bigamist arrested early Monday
morning. The trial took place before
Squire Mccoy. Halliday plead guilty
to the charge. but alleged that he was
not legally married to Elizabeth Moran,
as the ceremony was performed by
Squire Shelton, without license.
Elizabeth testified that he was her
husband, and produced the certificate
Of Squire Shelton TO that effect. The
Portsmouth bride who married him
under the name Of Jones, seemed to
feel very badly at the sad denouement
Of her married life. Halliday was
bound over to Court to answer the
charge Of bigamy. His first wife said
that she did not wish to appear against
him, and that all she wanted was that
be might be sent back to the 18th Ken.

Ias placed himself in a fix that will be
iard for him to extricate himself from,

lately served under Bragg, is publish
ing in the New Orleans Era a series Of
articles, and in reference to the treat
ment Of prisoners by the rebels this
writer says there is general disposition
to. heap contempt and contumely upon
all who fall into their hands. Indeed,
he adds. "if the counsels Of some in
high places could have prevailed, but
few prisoners would have been taken
by the Southern army" This was the
very spirit which animated Henry A.
Wise more than two years ago. when,
from the balcony of the Spotswood
House at Richmond. be rsved ike an

that now dares to put on ssnctity to

Of Hosts has demanded that you should
