POISON IN OUR BEDROOMS.

While the other noxious gasses are
usually the product of com bustion,
and their origin therefore apparent,
sulphuretted hydrogen obtains an en-
trance into our houses In a sHrrepti-
tlous and insidious manner through the
waste pipes of sinks and washbasins,
the latter giving it access even to our
bedrooms. There can be but little
doubt that the prolonged nausea from
which some persons suffer, and which
often terminates In confirmed dgspep-
sia. Is not unfrequently due to this
cause. and. while the sufferer and the
physicians are searching In vain for
some means of relief, and are expert
menting with various remedies, the
true origin of the trouble IS unsuspect-
ed, and might be easily removed by q
pI opeF attention TO tue waste pipe traps.
The test by which the presence of this
gas in the air of room may be detect
ed Is very simple. 1t may be pertor-
med by taking the white, Imprinted
margin of newspaper, molstenlng 1t
with solution ofsugar of lead aud sus-
pending the prepared slip OF paper IN
the locality to be examined. 1t the
air contains sulphuretted hydrogen,
the slips darken and finally become
black, the rapidity with which the
change occurs giving data for forming
an estate of.the amount of gas. The
air of the apartment may. at the same
time, be compared with that of the
streets by suspending another slip of
loaded paper outside of one of the win
doWs, IN such position that it may be
In the shade at all times.
The physiological effects ofsulphur-
cited hydrogen vary with the DEGREES
of concentration. IF it is strong it
acts like a narcotic, and the person
soon faints, but may be restored if re-
moved at once into the fresh air, and
treated with stimulants and the cold
water douche. There is always more
or less nausea, even though the gas
nay be very dilute. Its poisonous
effect is doubtless due, in ell cases, to
it's absorption by the blood, and subse-
quent action on the iron of the discs,
whereby the fluid loses It's red color
and becomes black, the variation in
the symptoms being dependent on the
rapidity with which these results are
produced. - GALAXY.

THE POSTAL TELEeRAPH.

We rejoice to see that Congress
seems disposed the present session to
take hold of this great enterprise in
earnest. Bills to Introduce the tele-
graph into the postal department
have already been introduced in both
the Senate and House and favorable
reports are likely to be made from the
committees to which these measures
are referred. The Washington cor
respondent of the Toledo Blade re-
fers in enthusiastic terms to the speech
made recently by Hon. G. G. Wash
burne, Of Wisconsin, in favor of the
postal telegraph measure introduced
BY that gentleman and now pending in
the House. The correspondent says j:
1t appears from the very careful
statements of Mr.. Washburne's 8
speech that this country is very far
behind other countries in developing
the capabilities and general usefulness
of the Telegraph, Although first in
vented and brought into practical use
here, other countries first gotan idea
into the hands of selfish and greedy
monopolies, we have failed to reap the
harvest Of our own inYention. 1t Is
very easy to see that If the price could
be cheapened to 10 cents for every 20
words, and the wires extended to all
the little villages In the nation what
an immense oonvenienee the telegraph
would be. It is now used mostly for
business purposes but in that case it
would be used, even more for social
purposes. A man going on visit,
with or without his family would tele-
graph the hour he expected 70 arrive,
personal meetings would be arranged, /,
sickness and rec0veries would be re
ported, marriages would be dispatched
sales of property announced. and, in a
thousand ways now. unthought of, the
wires would be resoFted 90 in order to
give and receive information.
We have a system of money orders
transmitted through the post Office,
and growing rapidly into favor, which
with such telegraph system, could be
executed at once, and without the loss
Of day. A man owing q debt in
New Orleans or San Francisco would
only have to go 60 his post office aud
deposit the money, and in the same
hour his debt would be cancelled and
receipt returned.
These things, as I state them, seem
very much like speculation but they
have, In fact, been in actual practice in
most OF the countries of Europe.

SUNBURY, o., Jan. II, 1870.
Editors Gazette The village of
Sunbury issituated ten and three quar-
ter miles from the Delaware corpora
fion, and il one of the Oldest and By
tie way, neatest towns in our county.
For 5enterprisihg citizens, the place
is noted, and only needs to be visited
to confirm anv one Of the fact.
For the last three or four years the
public spirit and enterprise has shown
itself in the form of very 6ne sidewalks
laid of excellent free stone, which is
found in abundance.
All that is needed for It to become
a source of great wealth, not only to
Sunbury but the county is, that 1t
might find an outlet through Railroads.
1t is true our Pike will be of great
value, and By that means will open up
transportation to some extent, yet
these quarries will not be appreciated
as they ought till We get Railroad,
Again you see this spirit of enter

building on the public square, which

The Masons are building up very
lne Lodges in this place and vicinity.
They have some of the best material
IN our paTtof the county. The op-
position that has been made against
these time honored institutions bg
some few. has only had a tendency TO
build them ap, and the day is not very
far distant when the vail will be lifted
and the scales will fall from the eyes
of that class of persoos so that they
will ground the weapons of their re-
belIion, aud cease to fight the institu-
tons longer.
The whole building cost sixty-three
hundred dollars, and the money that
built it was contributed gratutiously
for that purpose by the community
In addition to that the citizens have
contributed eiShty-fve dollars for
brackets; fifty dollars for bell; fifteen
| for an eagle on the cupola; aud fifteen
for flag for the use of the building.

THE PHOsPHoREsCENCE OF

Every one recognizes the beauty OF
the singular phenomenon that we call
the phosphorescence of the sea, and
has watched the track of foam and dia-
mond points of light left behind as the
steamer cut the wave. For long time
the cause of the shining appearance
was a puzzle to philosophers. But
the naturalists finally came to the con
clusion that it is produced by animal
culse which are excited to luminosity
when the water is agitated 1t was
also shown that the phosphoFeseence
is brightest and the sparks most nu-
merous Immediately preceding an at
mospherio disturbance. Thus the lit
tie animalcule must be included in the
long list of delicate organisms that feel
the approach of bad weather. Profess
sor Decharme observed this euInci-
denee and has been diligently study
ing the habits of the tiny creatures
and their shining propenGities. He
tells US, as the result of his Observa-
tions, that they are visible the day

magnifying power, of a lens-shaped

are of a Transparent nature, more dia-

STARK COUNTY INDIANA.
BY ]. B. HoAe, NJ. D.


Our County presents unusual In.
ducements to those who wish to pro-
cure cheap and desirable homes, and
land of good quality.
The land of our county presents a
diversity of timber, marsh and upland
The marsh land produces an abund-
ance of wild hay, an excellent food
for cattle. any amount of which can
be had for cutting and curing, The
marsh portion also furnishes a large
amount Of pasturage which is like
wise free to all. We are we'll supplied
with water. Ever and anon crystal
lakes dot the surface of the country,
while running streams with their cir
cumlocutions afford all needfal facili-
ties for water privileges. We have
travelled some Iittle-have Foamed
over the granite hills of the eastern
portion of the Union,--have gazed
with delight on the varied scenery Of
the Middle States and have surveyed
different portions of the illimitable
West; and we candidly confess that we
have never In any other portion ofour
country, seen a section so we'll adopted
to oattle-raising as this.
Over one half of the land in our
county is owned by nou-residents Of
whom it can be procured at a cheap
rate and on easy terms. An idea of
the quality or our soil can be inferred
when we state that on a new farm, not
two miles distant from the county seat,
the second crop, without manure, the
yield of corn was ninety .ffUe bushels 10
The acre. We have three Railroads
crossing through our county, conneCt-
ing important points-the Pittsburg,
Fort w ayne & Chicago r. r. which
has depot eight miles distant from
the county seat il d north easterly dI-
reetion. The Cincinnati g Chicago r.
r. has a depot at North Judson, an
enterprising and dourishing town situ-
ate in a south westerly direction about
ten miles distant from the county scat.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1870-01-21

The Louisville, New Albany & Chiea-
go R. r. runs through the western
portion of the county and has a depot
at San Pierre, a neat hourishing town
situate sixteen miles from tie county,
seat IN a south westerly direction.
These Railroads afford all needful fa-
cilities for conveying to the different
markets the products Of the farm and
the dairy.
In addition to these, a company has
been formed and steps taken 10 con-
struct a Railroad through fhe county
seat the extreme points being Ply
mouth in Marshal County, Indiana,
aud BeaTesn j Junction, Illinois There
Is no doubt but that il viii soon be
built.
Our county Is well proyid-
ed With olhOuses. which are for
the the most part neat, gemmodious
painted structures, at once tasteful
and convenient The number Of
schoalhouses in the county has doub-
led within the last seven years and the
