in the place of Mr. Chase, resigned. Mr..
Fessenden is considered one of the ablest men
of the Republican party-but we do not know
as to his financial experience or talents. His
nomination was unanimously confirmed by the
Senate, yesterday, but the Washington Chro-
nicle of this morning says that Mr.. Fessenden
s'stilI held the tender of the Office OF Secretary
of the Treasury under advisement up to late
hour last night He hesitates on account OF
his health. The duties of the Office, at all
times arduous, are exactlng at this trying
iuncture; for it is one Of the most exhaustive
of tasks to undertake to provide the ways and
means for crushing out rebellion without pa
rallel in history, and the trying labors of Mr..
Fessenden' 8 present position have already I'M
posed on him no light duties
AS regards the consumption OF meats, the
season is happily favorable to the exercise OF
abstinence from such food. An eminent New
York physician says that from May to septem'
be- he habitually restricts all his patients to two
ounces each of animal food per day, urging
them to use vegetables freely during the sum-
mer. Having for twenty years kept record
Of the matter, he estimates the mortality IN
the meat-eating families as about four times as
great as in those households which have faith
fully followed his advice.
The National Intelligencer says: IS only
lust to saw that the exactions made on the
financial system OF Mr.. Chase by the extrava-
gance of our military expenditures and by the
enexpected length Of the war, have been
enough to break down any system, however
sound in it's basis, or however capah'y admin
istered.
A steamer arrived at Washington yesterday

On Monday last, 9th inst, George n. Parsons
ESQ, entered upon the discharge of the duties of
Auditor Of Wood County. He will be assisted by
Henry NJ. Brown, who has heretofore been CON
neeted with the Auditors Office, but who, during
the past two years has been in the United States
Navy. Mr.. Parsons, as is we'll known has been
until recently connected with the army, and was
twice severely wounded. The cooperation Of the
" army and navy" in the Auditors office, indicates
that business will hereafter be conducted as
promptly and faithfully as it has been heretofore.
Both gentlemen will be found efficient and obliging
Mr.. Smith, the retiring Auditor, has been elected
to the office for seven erms--(rom the fall of 1871
to the spring 1852, and from March 1860, until
Monday last, in all over fourteen years.
He has been a faithful and efficient officer and
has fully enjoyed the confidence of the people
as his repeated reelection clearly proves and in
leaving the Office he carries with him the best
wishes of the community.

although no disapprobation was expressed.

although she proved herself lady Of dne attain,

THE GREAT SECRET.--It is admitted by all
physicians that the grand secret of health and long
lif, lies in keeping the blood and varions fluids of
the body in high degree of hudity When you
feel continued pain in the head or bowels, or any
continued uneasiness in any organ other parts of
the body, you can prevent serious sicknos by taking
BRANDRETH'S PILLS. Bleeding may give mo-
mantlry ease, because the blood left will have
more room. But as the body is made from the
blood and sustained by the blood, to waste our
blood is to waste out life, and ruin our constitution
But Brandreth's Pills relieve the circulation as
readily Os bleeding, by only taking away what ii
can well spare, and they never hurt.
