SPREAD THE TRUTH.

l.
Some medical men insist that 1t is undisnlhea
TO advertise a remedy, however valuable 1t may
be. Queer reasoning this. 1t is like saying tnat
an article which the world needs should be hid IN
corner-that benefits and blessings may be too
widely diffused-that the means of protecting and
restoring health should be a close monopoly, an
not accessible to all. The argument is bad. IL
is worse than that; it is inhuman. suppose
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-an absolute speci-
dc for dyspepsia biliousness and nervous debili-
ty-had never been known beyond the repertoire
| of the faculty, what would have been the conse-
oueuces? Instead of curing and inv'gorating
millions the good effects of the preparation would
have been confined to comparative few. There
is the highest authority for saying that hight
should not be hid under bushel; that whatever
| is excellent should be placed a city on hill,
where all men Can take cognizance OF 1t. 1t Is
upon this principle that the BltteTs have been
advertised and continue to be advertised in every
newspaper of any prominence in the western
hemisphere, and that the spontaneous testimo-
nj ais in its favor have been translated into all
| written languages. Thousands enjoy perfect
| health to-day who would be Ianguishlng on beds
of sickness if the evspapers had not spread the
truth with regard to this uneQ ualed invigorant
been reaped from this publicity. Is that any ar
gument against it If the public health has
| been protected; if lives have been saved If the
feeble have been strengthened aud the sick re-
stored, great good has been accomplished; and
who mean as to grudge to 9xertlons thus d.
rected their far reward

For sinners to return;
When life and breath is lost in death
The soul in Hell must burn.
What mortal tongue, what human pen,
The terror can declare
or sinners all in Hell who shall
Their dreadful torments bear?

Behold, there is no end,
When sinners lie and wish to die
And into He'll descend.

Make haste away, without delay,
And get into the Ark.

any debts. contracted for building or
furnishing the same, at rate OF inter-
est not exceeding eight per cent. The
bill also provides that the capital stock of
the Rutland Railroad Company may be
increased by the Directors to an amount
sufficient to represent the value of its
property. The bill also authorizes the
corporation to construct branches to quar-
ries and mills in the several towns on its
line as it's interests and the public good
may require.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The public may be led into an error on
the bill to pay the Governors of the past
year, by the manner in which it was pub
lished in the HERALD. 1t is to pay the
widow of Governor Washburn five hun.
dred dollars, and to pay Governor Hen
dee the same amount It's object is to
pay the full salary of Governor for one
year to the family of Mr.. Washburn, and
to pay Governor Hendee also for his nine
months services as Governor. The bill it
will be seen is not to pay the aoido,os of
Governor Washburn and Governor Hen
dee.
The rumor that the establishment or
consolidation of three Normal Schools into
one was project of the new secretary,
DR.. French, is incorrect. The Board of
education had, previous to the election of
the new secretary, considered the subject
of one Normal School, and at the same
meeting of the Board at which DR.. French
was elected, committee was appointed
to draft bill to be presented to the
General Assembly. The majority of the
Board of Education are responsible for the
Normal School movement, and not the
new secretary, as has been alleged, al
though it is presumed that he favors the
scheme.
The Walloomsac Railroad bill came up
in the House as a special order, and after
brief amendment, making it subject to
future legislation, it was unanimously
passed and sent to the Senate for its con-
currenee In the Senate it received its
several readings and was referred to the
committee on railroads, who soon report
ed it back and was unanimously passed.
The bill was not in their possession thirty
minutes This is known as the Burden
Railroad, which has been before the legis-
lature for several years, and has been the
subject of great discussion, and occupied
a large amount of the time of the legisla-
ture. Its passage settled long and ex-
cited controversy in Bennington county.
