Common Council to appropriate sufficient
money for the erection of suitable house

Portsmouth whom they represent. we
saw it is the duty of the Council to DO that

T. DEowK1Ne A "WlsaLs."-As every Nor

is sometimes infested with lively little
"yarmint," mosquitoes In embryo, known al
yisgle tails, or when curtailed of the fair

familiar to new corners sometimes give rise
IN ludicrous incidents, one OF which we
will narrate. We tell the tale as it was told
to US.
saw, a Norfolk gentleman wooed and won
q Sonnv bride from Richmond and brought
har 70 our city by the sea. But scarcely
mos she anugly installed in her new home
hafora she made the startling discovery
that there were "bugs" in the water. "My
dear" ouoth the lady, "there's a great,
horrid ugly bug at the bottom Of this glass, I"
said plass having been emptied by herself.
nAh. indeed" replied he, with the sang
froid of a gentleman accustomed to strange
siohts. nAnd Pm going to drown it," cons
tinusd she, and unheeding the laughing
devil dancing in his eyes she proceeded to
nour a gill OF water upon the unfortunate
sswipple," for so he informed her they
were termed.
An hour or so elapsed ana husband
became solicitous for poor wiggle's wels
fare, and enquirsd "my dear is that wigs
gle dead yet 2" An inspection convinced
The lady that it was still alive and kicking
and so she reported to her liege lord, and
then came a hearty, uproarious, long pent
up laugh in which the lady, though still
unenlightened, Joined from pure sympathy,
until her spouse explained to her the
absurdity of attempting to drown wiggle.
The lady knows all about the insects now,
but still she sometimes narrates with gusto
her experience in drowning wiggles.

DISEASE OF THE BLOOD


THE BLOOD"
Is q scripturaI maxim that science
proves true. The people talk of bad blood
as the cause of many diseases. and like
many popular opinions, this of bad blood
Is founded in truth. To say nothing of
those humors that are hereditary, we can
easily see how the blood may become bad
from imperfect digestion, or failure of ex-
cretion, and how this may influence the
process of nutrition, and thus influence
all the functional activities of the body,
The symptoms of bad blood are usually
feet nutrition, and consequently the
circulation is feeble, the soft tissues lose
their tone and elasticity, and the tongue
becomes pale, broad and frequently COW
cred with white, pasty coat. This condt-
ton soon shows itself in rOughness of the
skin, then in ERUPTIYE and LUCRATIVE
diseases and when long continu ed, re-
suits in serious LESSONS of the Brain, Liv-
er, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much
very much, suffering Is caused by impure
blood. 1t is estimated by some that one
fifth Of the human family are affected
with scrofula in some form.
Persons suffering from any bad humor
are very liable to have it Settle on the
only safe rule is to remove the Blood poi
son at once before it settles itself upon
some vital point.
When the blood la pure, you are not so
liable to any disease. Many impurities
of the blood arise of from impure diseases
of large cities. Lradt0a te every tmpurity
from the fountain of life, and good spi.
rlts, fair skin. and vital strength will re-
turn to you.

LAZY SoolsTx.-Judging from the mum
Der ofyoung men idly loadng on the street

that SO many young men will throw away
the precious moments of life when they
could be profitably employed. 1t is more
than we can understand. Better be EN-
ployed in tilling the ground at dollar a
day than to throw away time.

MuRpxaous AssAULr.-The case of Little
ton Addison, charged with assaulting Kent
Hogshear, came up before the Mayer yes
terday, and was the only one which graced
or disgraced the docket.
Hogshear had sufficiently recovered from
his injuries to enable him to return to his
home on Sunday Point, and was not present.
The evidence of other witnesses, how
ever, proved that Hogshear was attacked
BY Addison with an oaken handspike nearly
six feet long, and knocked senseless by a
blow on the head, and that he remained
unconscious between two and three hours.
In the absence of an important witness
for the defence, Addison who is captain ofa
q ohooner, was bound over in the sum 2,ooo
