Rat Proof Corn Crib.

Get two sills ten inches thick and
two feet wide. Slope of each end OF
each sill on one edge, making one edge
four feet longer than the other; place
them on large rocks-thc longer edge
above-four or five feet nearer to each
other than the desired width of the
crib; for example, if the crib is to be
fifteen feet wide, put the stills ten feet,
so that the floor will extend over them
eighteen or twenty inches, on either
side.
The floor must be made of lumber six
inches thick, and any width desired,
from ten to twenty four inches, a suf-
fcient number To fill out the floor, so
that the outside ones will extend over
the ends of the stall. about three inches.
Upon this floor build the crib by placing
the side logs as near the end of the
floor as they can well be put, the end
logs Immediately over the end of the
bottom stills, &c, &c. No further di.
rections need be given, except to say
that there must be no shelters, fences
or anything connected with the crib,
and resting on the ground, by which
rats could climb up and get in. If so
the plan fails.

Underlined Ailments.

There are many ailments, trying in Their
nature, but the symptoms Of which are Tot
sufficiently specific to enable physicians to elias
sify them under any particular head. As gen
sral rule they arise from a general debility OF
the whole organization, but their primary cause,
in at least three cases out of five, is lack Of
brisk vital action In; tae stomach and liver.

secretive organs and bodily ease, health and

medicines which have been recommended as
conducive to this end, none has been admisis.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
Its ingredients were selected from the vege-
table kingdom, originally, with view to the
inauguration OF the physique and the constitu-
ton, and also for their ant. bilious and slightly
laxative properties. Twenty odd years OF e1-
perience has proved that these herbal res.ora
tives were wisely chosen and have been judi
ciously apportionsd in this celebrated prepare
ton. Not only as a specific for indigestion and
all kindred complaints, but as a household remedy
for all the minor ailments incident to humanity
1t has obtained reputation based on unim-
peackable testimony, which fairly eclipses that
OF any other proprietary or officinal medicine
in use.

Wool.

In general tendency the accounts and
reports are not favorable for any large
advance in wool. The fall in gold and
general want of confidence IN the future,
results in dull markets, and gives cash
buyers an advantage. Walter Brown &
Co.'s last Circular says, "the stock of
wool of all descriptions is light" but
still there seems to be little disposition
to buy, or little prospect that wool il
likely to be much higher. Still it il

Price Of uox.-Fue,. for Farmers

The very high rate at which hogs are
held by the stock raisers throughout the
west is a subject of wonder to con-
sumers, aud of anxiety and complaint
to drovers and packers. They seem to
be ignorant of any reason to complain
of the high price that is resOlutely de-
manded. Strange to say, that corn is
short and hard to get. and that without
it hogs cannot be prepared for market.
But moreIthan all, they shut their eyes
to the fact that the crop of hogs in Ohio
this year is 1000 short of what it was
last year, and more than 100000 below
the crop of two years ago.
These statements arc not the result
of guess work, but are based on ascer-
tanned facts. We have now before us
manuscript statement from the Auditor
of States Office, certified by James Will
liams, Esq, chief clerk, showing the
whole number of hogs returned for tax
alton in Ohio at each spring assessment
for the past seven years. From that
statement we take the following fig
ures:

The high price that prevailed year
ago caused a general havoc throughout
the west, and a consequent diminutien
of the usual number left over for next
year. The resulting scarcity is not con-
fined to Ohio, but extends equally
through the hog region OF the entire
country. In addition to the other facts
here enumerated, it is to be borne in
mind that the supply of the hog pro
duct remaining on hand in New York
and other seaboard cities is smaller at
this time than it has been at any cores
ponding peried in many years.
With these points kept in remem-
brauce, none need wonder that hogs are
higher the present season than they
were a year ago, and our farmers owe it
to themselves to be careful how they
give credence to statements in conflict
with the facts and figures we have here
thrown together for their protection

the evening before retiring. Nothing

BURNED TO DEATH. - One of the
children of William II. Mullins, of Buf-
fslo creek, Clay county, aged about five
months, was burned to death on the oath
day of October, under the following
circumstances The parents went our
into the cornfeld and left the children
in the cradle, and were absent only
about ten minutes; when they returned
they found the babe lying on the hearth
with one foot in the fire, badly burned,
and an older child, about three years
old, holding up the babes head. 1t is
presumed that the older child attempted
to lift the younger one from the cradle
and let it fall in the fire. 1t lived only
about twenty-four hours after it was
burned.

For the Parkersburg Gazette.

Mr.. EDITOR The smoke has now
cleared off sufficiently to see the havoc
which has been made of enfranchise.
meHt. When the Ohio county address
first appeared, yeu, with other Demo.
cratic papers, met it with the anHounce'
ment that, under no circumstances,
should enfranchisemen be made a po-
litical issue. With this good men of all
parties agreed, and felt that with this
state Of things peace and quiet was soon
to be restored, but how has the advanced
movement of the liberal men in the
Republican party been metf The elec.
tion clearly shows that enfranchisement
has been retarded by the course pursued
dy Democratic leaders. One on reading
the Wheeling REGISTER before the elec-
tion could only see in that paper desire
to keep intact the Democracy OF Ohio
county for the next fall election, appa-
rently caring about no other position,
or at least giving but poor aid and COM
fort to the thousands in the State
who are disfranchised. If keeping
a few Democrats in the Legislature,
or electing Democrats in Ohio county,
is of more Importance to that paper
than the enfranchissment of thousands,
then it is right. / for one am tired Of
seeing party alone predicated on the
misfortunes of others. For years we
who are disfranchised have had an
abundance of lip service, but when an
offer is made to enfranchise by Others
than Democratic leaders, we find the
very men who have been for years clam
orous for enfrauchisement, the first to
take advantage of the division of fesl
ing existing in the Republican party
on this subject to elect where it was
possible Democrats over liberal Repub.
licans, thus making enfrsnchisement a
|. a political issue. If in Ohio county
only one of the liberal Republicans had
been elected, that would have looked
something like liberality, and an honest
desire for enfranchisement. Not that l
would prefer to see liberal Republicans
to Democrats in the Legislature, yet
| wish to see men there who can
accomplish the great object of En-
franchisement, / care not to what
party they have belonged, while
fear we have more who call them
selves Democrats who are oppos-
ed to enfranchisement, unless it is
brought about by the Democratic party,
for fear that ssme Of the enfranchised
would vote with the party enfranchis-
ing them. /, for one, am willing to
give to the party that disfranchised the
credit Of epfranchisement and with oil

THE Intelligencer notifies the liberal
Republicans in the Legislature that
upon the question of organization and
"such matters as that" they are not to
"have any difference with the rest of
their Republican brethren" That is to
say they are to surrender to the pro-
scriptives on sight, elect PIERPoNT
Speaker, HuBBARD Clerk, and so on
until all the offices are parcelled out to
the "ring" formed last week. Then in the
matter of legislation they will be gra-
ciously permitted to throw the Demo
Gratis such crumbs "as it is right they
should receive" always under favor OF
the proscriptives, be it known. Now
that the Intelligsncer has fully disclosed
its plan for giving the "Bitter- enders"
control of the "let-up" movement, how
sorry we all ought to be that we didn't
send CAMPBELL and HUBBARD to the
Legislature from this county.
