butchers are asked for an explanation
of this state of affairs; they ominously

should be done to have the price OF
beef lowered. The reputation Of our
butchers is at steak.

Observation-Disclosures Miller made
complaint before Squire Schultz, of
South Wheeling, yesterday, that Mrs.
Charlotte Hanke had been abusing the
wife Of his bosom, calling her names
and behaving generally in manner
calculated to disturb the peace and
good order OF the Independent Repub-
lie, to excite the ire of the individual
members thereof, and to raise a row
generally. A hearing OF the case re-
suited in Mrs. Hanke being fined 81
and the costs, and being required to
give bond in the sum of $50 to keepthe
peace for six months.

The members elect to the General Court
smei Jan. 9TH, in their respective branches
and promptly organized by electing Hon.
Horace II. Coolidge, President, and Ste
phen n. Clifford, Clerk of the Senate, and
Hon. Harvey Jewell, Speaker, and Will
liam s. Robinson, Clerk of the House.
The two presiding officers are both from
Boston, which is an honor that has not been
paid the city since 1859, when Hon. Charles
A. Phelps was President of the Senate,
and Hon. Charles Hale was Speaker of the
House.
The address of President Coolidge was
appropriate. He alluded to the death of
Hon. Gershom b. Weston, and suggested
that an order should be passed limiting the
time for the introduction of new business
to the middle of February, which he thinks
win shorten the session at least fifty days.
Mr.. Speaker Jewell, on accepting the
honor conferred upon him, delivered a
very able and practical address upon the G.
wills of long sessions and the means of re-
lucing the sessions TO reasonable period.
His remarks are very timely. He pre-
sents the case in q very forcible manner,
and his propositions are so convincing that
II heed is given to his suggestions, we may
expect that the session this year will close
by the first Of May. We commend to the
people of this Common wealth a careful pc
rusal of the statistics presented by Mr..
Jewell, and we trust that one of the earlier
acts of the session will fix the rate Of com
pensation. If this is accomplished, there
will be one strong inducement for prompt
attention to business, and the people can
bring their influence TO bear upon mem
bers, aud thus we shall be spared the pres
ent year the expense and scandal of this
evil Boston Journal.

WESTERN ENAcTMENTs CONCERNING
WOMEN. A Western paper in growing
over the fact that the woInan's rights move
ment is gaining moro ground in the West
than in tho East gives uttorance to the fol-
lowing remarks:
"Within tho past two weeks laws have
been made for the protection and advance
mcnt of women, in three widely separated
localities of tho great West. Whether their
right of suffrage in Wyoming will have
that effect remains to be seen; such is its
ostensblo purpose. The two other enact
ments referred TO may not be recognized
by the prominent strong-minded women
of the country as largely conducive to the
exaltation of their sex. Other people gener
ally will hail them as most necessary and
righteous steps, to be taken in behalf of
woman kind and for a better condition Of
society. The city of Omaha now absolutely
prohibits, either in theatres or concert sa-
looms, all descriptions of the popular ballet
girl shows, known as 'leg drama" And
the city of Sacramento has passed an ordi-
nance that no females shall be employed to
attend in the beer saloons after twelve
o'clock at night. This last will appear to
many an improvement so trifling as TO be
almost ridiculous. But softly; it is a great
thing for Sacramento to do. Next thing,
she will extinguish the pretty waiter girl
system entirely. While the East produces
ponderous magazine articles, holds con-
ventions, raves vaguely about ''social sci
once," and theories in endless recondite
dispositions for the improvement of civil
and social affairs, the West quietly does
the work.

MERCHANDISING take the following
very sensible remarks from the Registrars
report of the births, marriages and deaths
of the city of Boston for 1867;
One of the crying evils of the day, IA
well as one Of the most ridiculous, is the
custom of adopting some nonsensical APP
pellation in lieu of a proper given name,
and insisting on its being recognized ON
every and all occasions. These names may
not be very Objectionable in ordinary IA
miliar intercourse with friends, but in a
formal proceeding, like that of marriage,
such designations are entirely out of place
If parties may be credited, none are now
named Ellen, Catharine, Elizabeth, Caro-
line. and Louisa but in their stead we
have Nelly, Kate, Lizzie, Carrie, and last,
the most silly of all Lulu. In vain is the
improperly of being married under any
other name than the correct one dwolt up
on; in vain is it stated, that though ii may
not be improper to use these familiar MP
pellatves, 1t Ia not advisable that they
should DO entered on public record, and
thus incur the risk of some future embar-
assmont, affecting, 1t may be, some own
er's title to real estate or 10 pension.

The ENGLISH PRESS ON THE PREsI-
DENTS MEssAoE.-With really surprising
enterprise for a London Journal, the Times
of that city published in its morning edi-
ton of Dec. 9TH, a cable synopsis of the
Presidents message. correspondent
says:
The message has been, on the whole well
received here. The English press general
ly expresses satisfaction at the position of
the President on the Alabama claims, al
though some of the papers regret that Gen.
Grant should still labor under the delusion
that "a great wrong" was done by England
to America in the matter of the Alabama.
The policy of the United States government
in regard TO the Cuban difficulties is ad-
mitted to have been uneXceptionablc.
The idea of American reconstruction as a
fixed fact and Il glorious success can scarce
ly be received into the English mind. 1t
is to them incomprehensible that the
Southern States so soon after a terrible
war can be returning one after another into
their old position in the Union. They be-
lieved that n new generation must have
come and passed away before the bond of
brotherhood could bo restored between the
two sections of the Union. The Times adj
mts thattdEngland the principles involved
in the completion of reconstruction are UNI
Ineligible.
The sentiments of the President on the
financial situation of this Union, says the
Times, will probably be more closely
studied on this side of the Atlantic than his
views on reconstruction. This is no doubt
true, for the reason given that mot fow
in Europe are directly Interested in the fl
nancial management of the Union"

"A new device for getting money from
the unwary has been hit upon by some un-
princlpled schemer, who makes his head
quarters in New York. A Autographed
letter has been sent throughout the west,
which is designed to lead the reader to sup
pose that it has been issued by the Fourth
National Bank of New York. Tho circular
represents that it is probable that the insti-
tuition will fail in the spring, and 1t is de-
srablo to circulate large amount Of the
bills before the LIST Of May. In order to do
this it is proposed TO sell them at so cents on
the dollar. After the word Fourth" the
circular has the letters "st." in very small

nothing further from the institution.

CANDY FOR CHILDREN.-You know that
the stomach of child is very delicate,
very sensitive-quite as much so "a the
eye it will bear milk, and so will the eye;
but if you add 10 the milk pepper, the eye
becomes red, and 50 does the stomach.
Cold water is grateful to the eye, to relieve
this Inflammation, and there is the same de-
mand for water to quench the inextin-
guishable flame. In such a stomach healthy
di .estion ceases the appetite falls the
blood becomes poor and watery, and the
tissues are all impoverished. 1t is not the
sugar that does the harm, for pure sugar is
healthy; it forms part of the milk for the
infant, and enters largely into some of our
best vegetables. 1t is the sugar mixed
with various ether articles, often poisonous
and the process of manufacture that render
candy so injurious.
You mean to do well by your child, but
YOU are slowly and certainly eilecting her
ruin. At this critical period Of her life,
when, for proper development and growth,
she needs large supply of nourishing
and easily digested food, you give her these
delestable compounds of burnt sugar and
poisons, which not only slowly poison her
system, but worst Of all, deprive her of APP
petite ANA even Of the power of digestion.
II you persist in this course it is not difh p
cult 20 predict the result; the chances that
your child will roach womanhood will be
diminished tenfoldj If she reaches adult
years, It win not provo adult life in her
case, but rather n dwarfed and imbecile

GREAT FLOODS IN ENGLAND.-T Lon
don Times of Dec. 81 states that heavy
rains which had prevailed for several days
had caused great floods in many parts of
England. In the midland counties they
were very destructive, and in the vale of
Trent thousands of acres were submerged.
At Nottingham the water in the river reach
ed within foot and half of the highest
point ever known. Many buildings were
flooded. At Derby the Derwent overflow
of damage. The water was five feet deep
in Il large number of dwellings and ware
houses, and st. Paul's church was "block-
ed up with water so that no service could
be held on Sunday. In Shropshire and
North Wales the rains produced floods al
most Unprecedented in the present centu-
ry. At Shrewsbury, where the rivers Sew
ern and Res join, the water submerged a
vast number of houses. Boats, cabs, wag-
ons and RATS were in constant requisition
to convey the people from the suburbs to
the centre of the town. An immense a
mount of damage was done to stock and
property. At Melverly, low lying dis
trct, the cottagers were entirely driven
from their homes, and the land for miles
presented a frightful waste of waters, with
only the tops of trees hero and there inter
spersed. The injury caused by the floods
is estimated at 81, 10000
