Durcm CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

DUTCH CURE FOR DRUNK Ess.-
The following cure for drunk kcnncss is
practiced in Holland The patient is
shut up in room, and debarred all COM
munication, except with his physician
As often as he plcases. spirits--branIy,
whiskey, gin, &c.--are given him, but
mixed with two-thirds water; all other
drinks, such us beer, coffee, wine, &c,
are mix,d with one,third brandy. The
various viands, too, that are given him
bread meats, &c.--are all prepared with
brandy consequently the patient is in
state of continual intoxication. This
lasts about five days; at the end of that
time he asks with entreaty for some nour-
ishment, without his request being COM
piled with, and not until his organs ab-
solutely abhor alcohol. The cure is
complete, and from that day forth the
very smell of spirits produces the effect
Of an emetic.

there can be no more heart. sickcning

When you see this the case rest as-

with them in their sorrows or their joys.
If they commit an error sometimes,
speak to them gently of it, not before

Jesh billings and the 1ektur Com
nifty.
1t is given to the world that once on a
time the following letter was sent to Josh
Billings, dated from Salt Point.
j. BILLINGS, Eso.:--I am instructed
by our association to inquire of you, aud
solicit reply, if you could read dis
course before our lyceum this winter,
and if so, at what time, on what subject
and upon what terms.
Most respectfully yours,
EZRA SMITH,
Cor. Sec.
To which Josh give the following re-
ply, dating from Pokipsy:
SMITH, MI DEAR This day, at 10
o'clock A. NJ, cum in contact with
your letter, and was real glad tew hear
from yu. How do you like being Cor.
Sex. ov Ly-Associ' :? 1t is light,
pretty bizziness, and don't require much
capital,
Let ME ask you if you are any rela-
shun OF Jake Smith, the halter. If you
are forgit it, for Jake is common cuss.
The Smiths are good family, and
prevail more permiskus than any kind ov
folks that / know ov, but it would be
unnatural in the highest, if there want
some, wharc they was 80 thick, that was
wuss than the rest
Did you ever read history EzraY If
you didn't yu will be surprised tcw hear
that John Smith married Pukerhontas
the daughter of Powhattan, the injun
boss.
The way this happened was so; Smith
was about getting Slowed, when Poker
hontas went in and fell fiat on him. Old
Powhattan give it up, and Pokerhontas
had Smith. and Smith settled down and
went into the injun Dizziness, in small
way, on his own hook.
This is the gfist of the story.
lis one ov the most ailcctingcst trans.
actions on file
You ought to read History Ezra; i,
will learn you informashun. aud give yu
knnllcdgc ov cducashun.
forgot tew state that John Smith
lived somewhere i'll pensylvany, at the
tine his trnnsukshuns with Pokerhontas
took place, and il he amt dead probably
lives tharc now. There is one iust rate
thing about history; it is alwus true if
it amt true, it amt history, so If you
larn it onst, ycw never have tew unhur-
ness.
John Smith, who had the transakshun
with P"kcrhontas, had an immense in.
voice of boys, thare is 13 ov that name
in our town this morning. besides several
who have either died or gone to Denever
City.
Did it ever strike, Ezra, that death
was one NV of the NEST remarkable thns
that could happen tew man?
a man may be ritch, and kno history
just like slupiiacks for breakfast, and be
handsumable to lift Il ton without think
ing but death beats awl these Just az easy
as bitin crackers.
Death secms to be as far as a man can
git; when man acquires that thorough
ly, bis ambishun seems to be satisfied.
One man can be richer, aud lift more
than another, but he kant be any more
deader.
am glad there is one thing in this
world that is enuf for man.
speaking NV man, Ezra, dew you kon-
'iler hin suckcc6s yet, or has he got
'ew .:y again ?
History has good deal tew say about
man, that don't allude to his success.

CHARLESTON, October 30.
Editors Of the Register:
The election yesterday resulted in a
Democratic victory in this county.
B. H. Smith and A. Z. Summers are
elected to the House of Delegates. Our
township, Charleston, gives ~ Demo
cratic majority. The county will not
be less than 200 Democratic, and may
go over that. The Radicals died hard.
They did not look for such q defeat.
The vote in this township was large,
only lacking six votes of as many as
wera cast last Fall. The majority is
much larger than we expected. Our
whole ticket is elected.
The Election In Preston County,
KINGwooD, W. Va, October 80, '69.
Editors Of the Register:
In this county neither the "let up''
Republicans or the Democrats had can
didates: but the "let up" Republicans
cast their votes for the Hon. William B.
ZiDn for the Senate, and Capt. Henry
Clay Hagans and Hon William G.
Brown for the House. Many of the
Democrats stood off, feeling but little
interest in the election, under the be-
lief that the liberal ticket could not be
elected without better organization.
If the men on the liberal ticket had de-
clared themselves candidates and raj
lied the Democrats, We could have
beaten the Ra dical ticket. In a county
where the Republican majority at the
last election was over eight hundred, it
is now about two hundred. The Demo-
Gratis have carried majority of the
township offices for the first time since
the close of tho war. PRESTON.
