How Alcohol IntOxfcates.

1t is not the presence of the alcohol
which intoxicates, but the absence OF
oxygen which is produced by the too
rapid alcoholic combustion. A small
dose of alcohol stimulates combustion
produces, consequently, more heat, and
more cellular activity, but in the degree
that the alcoholic absorption is increased,
and the oxygen, which can not be fur
nished so quick by the lungs, is de-
creased, and combustion Of carboa ceases;
the blood of q drunken man is conse-
quently black. The cellular action be-
comes irregular and interrupted; the
cells of the brain (of the small first) lose
their nourishment, and give up; and all
motions become irregular. until totally
prevented.
A drunken man is insensible, and can
be considered dead until the alcohol has
passed out, and the newly absorbed oxy.
gen begins again to kindle up new com.
bustion of the extinguishsd material.
Gradually the cells begin to act again /;
reason returns; afterwards motion; but
it is a long time before the appetite re-
turns. The stomach refuses all food until
combustion is in full action again. When
a drunkard awakes he chills with cold,
and he suxiously seeks the fireplace IN
the hottest summer. His nerves shake
from the over-use they had to endure.
His mouth is dry, so is bis stomach; he
feels tired, but can not sleep; his eyes
are dim, yet constantly open; his skin is
cold and dry; his pulse weak and quick; (;
all the cells of the animal function have
been abused, and can not perform their
Office until stimulated aud revived by
alcohol, or until normal combustion has
re-nourished them; and because the lat
ter is slow in its operations aud processes
under these circumstances, while the
former is quick and rapid in its results,
he drinks and drinks and drinks again.
Cell after cell, therefore, becomes lost,
without beipg replaced. The stomach,
intestinss and skin become thinner and
thinner; the liver and muscle cells
change into fat-cells
Finally the blood vessels in the stomach
and intestines become visible, and enlarge
for want of PRESSURE they get thinner
and thinner until they burst The nerve
cells can resist the longest; as long as
they are constantly kept on alcohol they
hold out at the expense of all others; but
woe to them when the alcohol is once
wanting; then they revolt in wild spas

pictures of crawling snakes, of gnawing
rats and biting reptiles appear this is

A writer in the November number Of
Psltndm's Magazine gives very intalli-
gent review OF Capt. Silss Bents sd-
dress on "The Thermometric Gsteways
to the Pole" We are satisfied that Capt
Bents theory has sufficient evidence in
in its support to justify careful test Of
its soundness, and now that nearly all
the maritime pstions are either prepar-
ing or actually engaged In fresh Polar
explorations, we hope it will be thoroughly
considered. Capt Bent believes that the
Open Polar Sea, whose existence was es-
tablished by Dr.. Kane, is kept free from
ice BY the influence of the two great ocean
currents. the Gulf Stream Of the Atlantic
and the Kuro Siwo Of the Pacific, which
carry to the Polar regions the heated wa
ters of the tropics sad that the
only way either to reach tho Pole or
10 pass around the northern extremity
of America is to follow one or the
other of those streams. They both flow
toward the northeast; the Kuro Siwo
passes through Behring' Strait; the Gulf
Stream has tssa traced to the shores of
Nava Gambia. No expedition has yet
followed either current, and so far as we
know none Of those now fitting out pro-
poses 10. Yet the experiment is a very
easy one, and certainly ought to be tried
II would be strange indeed If, after three
hsndred years OF search, q practicable
water passsgs, open ell the year round,
should be found thro1gh the Arctic re
gioBs, not By the perseverance, of disoov-
ery ships, bpt by the intelligence Of
msn of science Who sits down in his study
and from the known phsnoHena OF the
ocean reasons out those which are un-
known.

We are in receipt Of letter from gentle
man in Hampshire county, West Virginia, whv
advises lis in regard to some stolen horses,
which are now in his neighborhood, and seems
DESTROYS of having them returned to their
proper owners, and gives some clue by which
means We think they can be had.
One is a bay mare, with three white feet,
the right fore foot black, with glass eyes, white
in forehead, running over the right eye, with
white on nose. Was said to be taken from a
stillhouse, four miles above Columbia Furnace,
in this county. She had q colt and is with
foal again. She was sold three years ago.
There vas, also, a bay horse taken at the
same time. Scar oil one foot. IS said to be
long to a man by the name Of Gates.
Also gray mare, five years old. Was tax
en- from colt, as the milk was still running
from her udders, when she passed here. She
is heavy built, Eat feet, and W rs traded off in
that neighborhood. She is said 10 have come
from near Round Hill.
II any person has lost horses answering to
the above description, they can get further in
formation by calling at this Office, and we be-
lieve it highly probable that the horses can be
recovered. Our informant states that all due
haste should be exercised in the matter, as
these horses will probably be traded off.

MT. JACKSON, March ~, 1862
Nr. Editor This community was thrown
into the most painful and intense excitement
ON Friday last, by the most shocking accident
that has ever occurred in our village. About
10 o'clock, Isaac Rosenberger, aged % years,
son Of Mr. John Rosenberger, of this place,
walked into Messrs. Witt & Bros. store, with
friend to purchase ammunition, &c., for a
bird hunt. After making the purchase he ap-
pears to have intended loading his gun--one
barrel being already loaded. He removed the
cap from the tube and cooked it; he then
placed the breech upon the floor, and was, ap-
parently, in the act of blowing into one of the
barrels to ascertain whether il was loaded or
not, when tho gun was, from some unaccount-
able cause discharged, tho contents taking ct

At this season of the year, the general
health of the country is very good, with some
exceptions, such as constitutional Bilious
Temperaments, some victims of Dyspepsia or
nervous weakness, in which case the sufferer
is afflicted more or less with the warm weather
now coming on. To such we would suggest
the use of a gentle stimulus or tonic, such as

Sorghum,

We notice that our exchanges are calling the
attention of the farmers of the country to the
cultivation of the sugar cane so commonly
cultivated during the war, from which was
manufactured very excellent molasses,
yclept Sorghum. Owing to the late insured
lions in the sugar growing islands, it is thought
that the sugar crop will be but small, and con
sequenuy the price will be very great. Be-
sides, it is one of the most profitable crops
close at hand, we suggest the matter for the
consideration of those interested.
