NEW YoRS, Dec. Wall street was thrown
inLs spasms tl,is morning by the knowls d2e
= that u dividend NJ Der cent. had been decldr.
ed By lie New York Central Board of Direc-
tors on the 10Th INST.
This dividend which has been 90 often prom
ised and So often deferred, fell upon the stock
exchange like thunder bolt, causing the wild
est excitement, and for the time being almost
suspended dealings in every other security than
New York Central. The stock opened at 15t
ans quickly roe to B, but at this stage there
was rumor abont iniuuctions on the dividend
aud the price sank gradually to 146 The de-
mand ag3in increased on stock, and it rose tc
$50 but fell back again to LAT, from which point
il soon rallied to 5212. Transactions were
very heavy at the various fluctuations.
In anv event, it cannot be denied that Com.
modore Vanderbilt has outfanked Wall street
and is Railway King at present in the stock
market. The losses of the bears have beer
enormous but no failures have been reported

or apply remedies which make them worse. 1 would
not assert anything that would do injustice to the at

When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints it is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them. 1t is but sim
pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which SO largely affect the
liie health and happiness OF woman in all classes OF
society, and which, consequently affect more or less
directly the welfare OF the entire human family. The
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporeal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints dress, the early confinement Of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus with the body half clothed,
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure perverting
In midnight revel the hours designed BY nature for
sleep and rest the work of destruction is half accom-
plished.
In consequence Of this early strain upon her sys-
tenn unnecessary effort is required Iby the delicate
voary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravatng the evil. When one excitement is
over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbid
y sensitive to impression, while the now constant

MISCELLANEOUS.
WOMAN.

FEMALES, owing to the peculiar and important
relations which they sustain, their peculiar organiza
ton, and the offices they perform, are subject te
many sufsrings. Freedom from these contribute In
no small degree to their happiness and welfare, for
none can be happy who are Ill. Not only 80, but no
one OF these various female complaints can long be
suffered to run on without involving the general
health of the individual and are long producing per-
manent sickness and premature decline. Nor is #
pleasant to consult physician for the relief OF these
various delicate affections, and only upon the most
urgent necessity will true woman SO far sacrifice
her greatest charm as to do this The sex will then
thank us for placing in their hands simple specifics
which will be found eiicacous in relieving and cur
Ing almost every one OF those troublesome complaints
peculiar to the sex.

DIED, on Thursday, February 9th, 1868, at
the residence Of bis uncle, Mr.. James Jennings,
in EdgcGeld District, DR.. r. 7. JENNINGS, of
Iemorrhage of the Lungs. lie had just entered
upon useful and promising professional career,
when he was stricken down in the first stage of
manhood, 10 his 22d year.
lie wns the SON of the wel.known and popular
DR.. W. D. JESYlSGs, formerly of Edgefcld, but
now residing in the City of Galveston, Texas.
DR.. THOMAS JENNINGS vas q brave and
faithful soldier of the Confcderacy. He volun-
tcered in the Hampton Legion, in Gen. Gary's
command, and went through the latter part of the
war, as an "attachc" to that officers Staff.
After the war, he moved with his father to tho
State of Texas; but after short stay there, he
returned to enter the Augusta Medical College as
student; ut which institution he graduated in
the Spring of 1856, with all the honors of his
profession. Having returned to Texas, he located
in Brazoric County, and was fast gaining dstinc-
ton as an able and efficient practitioner; but the
miasmatic and changeable climate peculiar to
that region, proved pernicious to his delicate
constitution, and he was severely attacked with
congestive chill, resulting in .hemorrhago of the
lungs. Recovering somewhat from his illness,
he hurried, in debilitatcd condition to healthier
Edgefcld, and by his rapid Improvement, hopes
were had of his complete restoration but alas
his first aifliction had begun the march of rapid
and fatal consumption, terminating in successive
hcmorrhage, causing his death, while on o visit
to his relative.
1t will be source of great consolation to his
parents and relations, in tb,ir far distant homes,
to learn that, conscious 70 the last moment, in
full knowledge of his approaching death, he left
for them iu the care If his sorrowing friends, nu
merous endearing messages of love and passed
away bcsecching God to bless those around him.
Many were the tears shed, many the sighs
drawn, at the of his demise, for he was every
where extremely popular, and none knew him,
but to love and esteem him. B. II. 7.
