From the army hospital; the bloody bat

The Boston Commonwealth makes
the rather exaggerated statement that
every afternoon after O'Clock some
twelve TO fifteen United States Senators
are so drunk that they are unable to attend
to business The Washington correspon-
dent of the Missouri Democrat also
says that ''the coming session Of Congress
will see the certain death and entombment
of three men now in the United States
Senate, all from drink. Take away the
pay and good clothes Of these men, and
they are already tavern suckers and par
asites of the most abject sort. saw one
of them at friends house, only yester.

MEssRs. EDITORS We hear 1t said al
most every day by some one on our streets
that this and that one, citizens of our
town, are going to move or vacate the
town, and locate in healthy region or
locality. No one can deny that Plymouth
is unhealthy-more so than any other town
in Northern Indiana. Why chouid not
Plymouth be as healthy location to live
in as any other town around us--Warsaw,
Valparaiso, Rochester, South Bend, or La
porte One reason is, that there never
was board of trustees holding Office for
the last ten years that ever thought of de-
voting one minutes time TO make ia,Os or
appropriations which would tend to
benefit and improve the health of the town.
They are so hide>bouDd in party politics
that the health of the city is entirely over
looked and forgotten.
Now, Messrs. Editors, suppose that dam
up at the water Touring mill. which is a
mill ddD,>nuisance, was removed. and the
back and dead stagnant water which cow
ers acres upon acres, and even miles, was
made to run its natural course unobstruct>
ed, and the bed of the river, from said
dam to the bridge, known as Whee'ers
bridge, cleaned out, docs airy rational,
thinking citizen believe that Plymouth
would thereafter be called an unhealthy
towr live in? No; it cannot but be a
hea location to live in. Whs of US
does not remember those fearfu.ly hot
da-s last summer? Who, but very few
escaped from inhaling the unseen deadly
miasma that was covering this whole town
like pestilential mantle 2 But yet, this
is not all. Citizens of the town are allow
ed TO obstruct the natural course of the
stream known us Yellow River, by erett>
ing booms across the same, and filling il
with thousands Of logs, so that the water
cannot run off, but must remain dead,
backed up--and then the stink, stencil
and floating deadly miasma, which causes
the people to wonder why they are sick
half of the year
Now, Mcssrs. Editors, the cure is sins
pie 10 remove the blasting stigma which
res upon this town, which is heard in
every town around us, that plymouth is
unhealthy is to make this Plymouth an
incorporated city. Then elect officers
who will go to work and declare such and
such things deadly nuissnceJ, and cause
them to be stopped by tatO, and let the
dam be declared q mills dam nuisance,
and abated.
Then, and not until then, will Plymouth
be looked upon and sought after by stran-
gers as desirable place to invest and
make a home. Then we will not hear OF
this and that citizen 'goipg to leave" 10
seek a more healthy location and then,
if any one does leave the town, it will be
some of its many physicians, whose occu>
patton will be gone.

MEMORIAL.
Respectfully inscribed to Mr.. and Mrs
Fl. G. THAYER, on the death Of their only
daughter:
How car we say to thee, ''bc CAIN"
For every wound there is balm
For like thine own. our hearts have bled
And we "would not be comforted."
Like thine own SOU, torn and bleeding,
We needed not the inward pleading,
Which told of duties all neglected
OF Heavens sympathy rejected;
But nursed our grief till il became
A garment, wrapped around our home.
Yet all we can, we offer thee,
CT comfort, hope and sympathy;
Hush all thy longings, thv despair
Is but Of earth, and angels wear
The blossoms of thy earthly care.
