VERMONT ELECTION

Returns from 200 towns give Dillingham; &c.
245, Davenport, 1924; Diilingham's majority
17,721. The same towns last year gave Smith
30,1s9; Redfield 1920; Smiths majority IT.
ESQ., & Niss AH& Alh1
1t will be seen by the above figures that in
an aggregate vote 34769, the Union majority is
only 229 less than it was last year with an ag-
gregate vote of A, 42s. This shows netdemo-
cratic loss off, 1888. Onthe aggregate vote Of this
year IA, 100 would have been In exact proportion
to the majority and aggregate vote of last year.
Facts and figures like these, repeated as they
have been in this State, show how good are
the prospects of the copperhead party, to re-
gain the power which departed from them
when they raised the rebel flag, and made
common cause with JEFF Davis against Liber-
ty, Union and the Constitution. NJ iasf

Hostetter's Bitters on the Battls-Field

Hostetter's Bitters on the Battlefield
1t is satisfactory to know that our field hospitals
are no longer unsupplied with this lesavng prepa-
ration Soldiers who, private citizens, had become
acquainted with its properties have IN many nstan-

CELEBRATED STOMACH. BITTERs might be
added to the medical stores of their regiments, and
their wishes have notbe unheeded. As means
of sustaining wounded men on, the battlefield, and
of enabling troops to bear fatgung marches under
blazing sun, 1t has been strenuously recommended
by distinguished medical men, and the prospect ID
thatt viii eventually supersede all the aduterated
tinctures, liquors and dangerous Tonics that have
heretofore been considered medical staples. The fact
that small quantity ofthe Bitters mixed with water
iom any Of the Southern or Southwestern rivers will
prevent it from affecting the bowels or the liver,
should be begne in mind by army physicians soldiers
and all who have occasion to visit those portions Of
our country. The man who uses Hostettor's Bitters

SCIENTIFIC FACTS ABOUT BEDROOMS If two
persons are to occupy bedroom during a
night, let them step upon weighing scales as
they retire, and then again in the morning,
they will find their actual weight at least q
pound less in the morning. Frequently there
will be a loss of two or more pounds, and the
average less throughout the year will be more
than one pound. That is, during the night
there is a loss of pound of matterw hich has
gone off from the bodies, partly from, the
lungs, and partly through the pores of the
skin. The escaped material is carbonic acid
and decayed animal matter, or poisous exha-
lations. This is diifused through the air, in
part, and in part absorbed by the bedclothes.
Ii single ounce Of cotton or wool be burned
in room it will so completely sslUEate the
air with smoke, that one can hardly breathe,
though there can be but one ounce Of foreign
matter in the mir. If an ounce Of cotton be
burned every halfhour during the night, the
air will be kept continually saturated with
smoke, unless there be an open door or win
dow for it to escape. Now the sixteen
ounces Of smoke thus formed is far less poison.
Gus than the sixteen ounces Of exhalation
from the lungs and bodies Of the two persons
who have lost pound in weight during the
eight hours of sleeping; for, while the dry
smoke is mainly taken into the lungs, the
damp orders from the body arc absorbed both
into the lungs and into the pores Of the whole
body. Need more be said to show the i'm
portance Of having bedrooms well ventilated,
and of thoroughly airing the sheets and GOV.
er!idS and mattresses in the morning, before
packing them up in the form Of neatly made
bed ?

PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF Music. -Gott-
schalk, the celebrated pianist, contributes
to an Eastern magazine some notes on the
physical effects of music, from which VIC
extract the following:
II communicates to the body shocks
which agitatc the members to their base.
In churches the fame of the candle oscil-
lates to the quake Of the orgaD. a pow
erful orchestra near a sheet of water ruff
fes its surface A learned traveller speaks
Of an iron ring which swings to and fro
to the sound of the Tivoli Falls. The
celebrated DR.. Bertier asserts that the
sound of drum gives him the cholic.-
Certain medical men state that the sound
of the trumpet quickcns the pulse and in
duces slight perspiration. The sound of
the bassOon is cold; the notes of the
French horn at distance and the harp
are voluptuous. The flute played softly
in the middle register Gains tho nerves.
The low notes of the piano frighten chill
dren. once had dog who would gen
orally sleep when he heard music, but the
moment / played in the minor key he
would bark pitcously. The dog of Gel
ebrated singer whom knew would moan
bitterly and gives signs Of violent suffer
ing the instant his mistress chanted
chromatic gamut A certain chord pro-
duces on my own sense Of hearing the
same effect as the heliot:ope on my sense
Of smell, and the pineapple on my sense
Of taste. Rachel's voice delighted the
ear with its ring before one had time to
seize what was said, or appreciate the pu.
rity Of her diotion. We may infer, then,
thSt musical sound, rythmical or not, agi-
tates the whole physical frame-quickens
che pulse, i0c;te5 Perspiration, and pro
duces pleasant momentary irritation Of
the whole nervous system.
