Give Nature a Lift.

People expect too much of Nature. They trifie
with their hoalth and constftn ntions and then are
surprised that they fall sick The pressure of con-
sfaht mental or bodily labor npon the animal powers
is tremendous. Very few systems and constitutions
can bear against this pressure unassisted Add to
this the unhealthy influences which'lurk unseen in
the air We breathe, the water drink the artificial
heat with which endeavor to chase away the cold
and marrow searching moisture of winter, and it
would seom to require almost superhuman vgor to
keep in perfect health at this rigorous season without
reinforcing the physical energies But how reinforce
thom? Certainly not with adulterated stimuants
There is no poison in the outward air. or in the at
mospherc of furnace-heated rooms or workshops, or
factories, pernicious those deadly burning fluids
Why use them, when HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, a vegetable tonic without allow are eyerv
where ebtainabe? Nothing has ever been offered to
the feeble and dcbaed harmless in its nature SO
powerful in its nvgorating nature this celebrat

aWA A number of the directors of the

in town for the last few days, looking
around and trying to ascertain which is
the most practicable route for the road
They express it as their opinion that a
road can easily be built up the Mill Greek
Valley, attaining the ridge about Il miles
north Of this village. They, as every
sensible man would be, were very much
pleased with Dodgeyille, and the surround
ing country, and expressed it as thcil
opinion that the half had not been told
respecting the beauty, resources, and ad
vantages of this place.

~ Spring, with all its beauties is upon
as, and only just upon US, for in this
northern country it is the latter part OF
May before we see it demonstrated beyono
doubt that spring is with US but when
it does come, the long winter causes US to
appreciate it the more. Spring, divine
season, the whole of nature begins new
life, and time forgets his morallzing ser.
mons about want in winter, and decay in
the fall. Spring appears with a young
fresh face, young god garlanded with
flowers, and songs Of love on his lips, and
promises of increase and happiness. Let
us, therefore, enjoy the spring; let US live
in the present, and not as thousands do, III
constant anticipation ofjoys that are to
come; for the summer, although farther
advanced in perfection, and promising q
richer feast for the senses, yet has its IL
conyeniences and annoyances.

talking about cleaning up and making

of cheap and available disinfectants may
give some one needed information
Two pounds Of sulphate Of iron (cop-
peras), dissolved in pailful of water, and
poured into vault, will prevent the forma-
ton of sulpheretted hydrogen gas for some
time, and viii generally be sufficient to re-
move all nuisances.
\ layer Of charcoal dust will prevent the
escape of all offensive ordor from any de-
composing substance.
One pound of inter of lead dissolved in a

If other things fail, chloride Of lime is
always effectual, and may be freely used

The Seminary.

The meeting which was called at the
Court House on Tuesday evening last, for
the purpose of ascertaining what amount
of money could be raised to offer the NJ. E.
Church as an inducement for them to
erect the proposed seminary at this place,
was not very largely attended but consid-
cradle interest was manifested, and if the
people who were not there would manifest
as much interest and liberality as those
who were, the required amount could be
raised without doubt. The proceedings
of the meeting will be found elsewhere,
therefore it would be useless for US to re-
capitulate them here. When the meeting
adjourned, it adjourned to meet on Monday
evening next, at the Court House, and our
object in writing these few lines, is to try
and induce the people generally to turn
out There is ample accommodations in
the Court House for all who wish to come,
and we want to see all who take any in
terest in the cause of education, present
on Monday evening next. The amonnt
proposed to be raised is from ten to fifteen
thousand dollars, and if the people will
take hold as they should, there is no
question but it can be raised. Let those
who doubt the practcability of raising
the amount, look at what we have done
heretofore Lock at the Court House
which cost US $4,000 in voluntary sub
scriptions Look at our fine churches,
which did not cost less than $4,000, and
besides these public editices we raised
near 10000 during the three years of the
war for bounty. After looking at these
liberal subscriptions, can any one doubt
the feasibility of raising ten or even TWEEN
ty thousand dollars to secure the Semin-
ary, if the people can be awakened to the
importance and advantage it would add
to the places Then let US look for mo-
ment at the advantages. In the first
place, it would furnish employment to
large number Of mechanics, in building
the school, and the necessarily increased
population after the school,was completed,
wo I'D require more dwelling houses, which
would consequently increase the value OF
real estate. The Seminary when com
pleted,s. would accommodate about 800
Students, besides the professors, and con
sdering the surrounding country, there
an be no doubt but it wo'd be filled, which
would greatly increase the mercantile bust
ness of the place, giving our merchants q
much larger filld Of labor. Besides, no
parent who has children to educate, car
count the worth of this Seminary to him
in dollars and cents; the value of it would
be inestimable. There is no class of per
sons who wo'd not feel its beneficial results
therefore, all, without distinction Of sec
,r condition, should take ar interest il
this great enterprise. Let all attend th,
meeting at the Court House on Monda,
evening, and take lively interest in the
proceedings, and there can be no possible
doubt but we can raise the required amount
Of money, and secure the location of the
Seminary at this place.

PoKERyILLE.-This place, as its name in
dicates, was formerly celebrated gam
bling hole, where miners, farmers, and
professional gamblers could be seen col
iected in little knots, at almost any hom
Of the day, and particularly on Sunday
playing the world wide game of 'poker ,
drinking, quarreling, fighting being tn,
order Of the day. But the last ten years
have witnessed quite a change for the bet
ter. One year ago, instead of every place
being whiskey shop, there were two
stores, two taverns, sone blacksmith shop,
one butcher shop, and but four saloons
But it is plain to be seen that there was
still room for Improvement, and visit
to the place at the present time shows
that it has been made, for the business
houses of the place stand thus: Three
good stores, two taverns, two uheelwright
shops, three blacksmith shops, and two
butcher shops, with not grocery or saloon
in the place. These results are in meas
ure attributable to the Good Templars
Lodge of that Village, which is now in a
prosperous condition, and includes in its
numbers nearly every one of importance
in the place. The Sabbath is duly and
appropriately observed and respected, and
the Village is gradually assuming the ap-
pearance of a quiet old fashioned New Eng
land village.
