MoopvILLn LETTER

WooDVILLE, July 4th, 1870.
DEAR JOURNAL: had thought to retire
from the list of your contributors, and probab-
" should have done so, had it not been for
the uuprovoked attack on me through your
columns, by Veritas, who after applying to NE
the epithets of unnlitigated blow, and addle-
brain, winds up his TRADE of abuse, by init
mating willingness to settle any difficulties
with me by the code. He touches this sub
ject very gingerly, and roars as "gently as
sucking dove" and from my knowledge of the
cowardly and dissipated nature of nv assail-
ant, do not hesitate to say, that he would
vastly prefer eager or some other weapon
that shoots in the neck, to pistols, as means
Of settling any difficulties which he NAV have
with his fellow men. The gentleman can have
all the lager he wishes for one by paying for
it, which he viii not be likely to do, so long
as the sponging process (which is his best
holt,) is available. While speaking of lager
that one thing needful, 1 will say that it has
again come down to l-2 cts per drink; thus
verifying the adage that revolutions never
go backwards" The venders of lager in this
place, have heard that he who causes two
blades of grass to grow, where but one grew
before, is public benefactor, by reducing the
price and causing two glasses to be drank,
where but one was drank before, they consid-
er that they are also public benefactors on the
same principle. I trust that no fair minded
person viii question the plausibility Of this
view.
Those migratory puzzlers, of whom made
mention in a former letter, are Just mending
their way back to our own immaculate Wood
vile
Rail Road matters remain in statU gao, the
WIND work continues unabated, and ifthe wind
could all be saved and utiliged, it would be
SUFFICIENT to run the cara for an indefinite pc.

Singular-0n Wednesday morning two
men called at the postofice in quest of parties
by the name of Vogelsong and Dennis, who
thew claimed had committed a burglary at
Fostoria, on Tuesday night, June 2Sth. They
described the men and promised one hundred
dollars reward for their arrest. On Monday
last the father of Yogelsong called at the post
Office, leaving word if 81. B. Vogelsong called
for a letter at the Office to apprise him Of the
fact by telegraph at FostOria. Wednesday
night Young Vogelsong called for letter and
at once sil supposed they had discovered the
reported burglars, but to be certain that 8
burglary had been committed, dispatch was
sent to Chas. Foster, of Fostoria, inquiring
whether Vogelsong should be arrested. Soon
after his answer came not to arrest Fogelsong.
This confounded the wise, and gave distant
view of the coveted hundred dollars promised
for their arrest, as the party promising it had
been very careful TO conceal his name from all
with whom he talked, though one of the two
claimed to be maIshal of the city of Fremont.
To crafty curiosity, and, if possible, get out
Of the muddle that conflicting statements had
worked everybody into, a party went to MIR.
VIM. Heals, where these men were at work,
and soon satisfied themselves that the man
promising a hundred dollars for their appre-
hension did not want TO find them as bad as
they wanted to lind him. Pistols and hand
cuffs were not in demand, as the bows were
too willing to 60 where they could satisfy
their injured honor by giving exercise TO 1nre-
strained muscle, of which they seemed to have
a goodly portion, and which would have been
freely lavished on the person who had dared
to suspect them of a crime. To set at rest any
suspicious it was aecsrtained from Mr.. Healt
that they were hard at work in the harvest
field the day before, and the day succeeding
the night when the burglary was committed,
and that night they were known to be In Mr..
Heals house. The only solution that can be
given 70 elueidase the matter is that there Is q

SPECIAL NOTICES.
HeaIth,s Best Defence


1.-THE weak eateth herbs" says St. Paul, so that
eighteen hundred years ago the value of medicinal
plants was appreciated. In the Old Testament
botanical remedies are repeatedly recommended,
but in no passage Of sacred history is man recon.
mended to swallow ealomel, or blue pill, or sny
other mineral preparation. The sick were directed
to eat herbs to strengthen them to purify them, TO
heal them to restore them. In that day the art Of
making vegetable extracts was unknown. The
herbal medicines were mere infusions.
Itwas reserved for later age to unite the sani-
taTy essences Of tonic aperient and antibilious
roots, barks, and plants, with an active stimusut
and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the
debilitated or disordered system. The Gro gnine
triumph Of this effective mode of concentrating
and applying the virtues OF medicinal vegetables
was achieved in the production of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Never before had a uerfectiv
pure alcoholic stlnulant been combined with The
expressed juices of the finest species of the vegeta
BILE kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen years
have elapsed since its introduction, has this
great restorative been equaIed It is taken in all
seasons, in all elimes, the most potent safeguard
against epidemles, as protection against all un-
healthy exhalatiOns that produce debility OF beQet
disease; as a remedy for intermittent OF other ma
larious fevers; as an appetizer; as sovereign cure
for dyspeps :; as a general tonic and invigorant:
as gentle, painless aperient; blood depurent;
as nervine; as a cure for bilious affections; a. a
harmless anodyne; and as the BEST DEFENCE oF
HEALTH under unfavorable circumstances, such a.
sedentary pursuits, undue bodily or mental exsr.
t1ons hardship, privati0n and exposure.

The ereatest Race on naoord

Last week the R E Lee and Natchez
in the Mississippi River Passenger
trade, left New Orleans within three
minutes of each other, and commenc
ed race for the levee at St. Louis,
a distance Of 1900 miles. The race
was one Of the most exciting ever
known, the running of the race be-
ing telegraphed all over the country,
with the arrival and departure of
the steamers at and from every port.
Thousands of people focked the
river banks at different points, to
witness the progress of the boats,
and thousands upon thousands of
dollars in money were staked upon
the success of either boat.
The R. E. Lee won the race, reach
ing st. Louis in exactly 80 hours.
and in advance of the Natchez one
hour and teCelUe minutes.
The j. NJ. White a Mississippi
River Steamer, in 1874, ran the same
route in 95 hours, 9 minutes, and
her time had never been equaled un-
til June % last, when the Natchez
made the trip in SO hours, 5S minut-
es. The Natehez now makes the
run in 81 hours and II minutes and
now the Lee beats that time by one
hour and twelve minutes.

LINDSEY LETTER.

LINDSEY, o., July, llth 1870.
Mr. EDITOR: The heat Of the long hot days
of summer, exerts rather a Oppressive inau-
ence on the activities of the physical organism.
At these times, this feeling of vapidity is diff
cult to dispell when even considerable effort
is made to do so. But, it is necessary that
the influences of this apparent apas to the
physical energies should be overcome; for ac-
cording to an apthem which is extant-"make
hay while the sun shiues,"-it is important
that the faUOrable opportunity be- improved.
Farmers can probably more fully appreciate
the truth of this saying, for it is with them an
essential requisite, in safely securing the fruits
of the years labors, in gathering the golden
harvest Of waving grain, which has been so
diligently cultivated, and faithfully guarded,
and which, If it brings plentious returns,
proves an ample remuneration fer all the toll
In this section, the grass has been mostly
cut, and the hay safely slowed away for w.n-
ter use. The wheat is also about all reaped,
and in shock. 1t promises much more ab-
undant yield than than was expected. The
oats bids fair for good crop.

a few days since, which might have resulted

Remorse Of Conscience.-The fashion
of returning stolen articles after a period of
time, has become quite prevalent among
national thieves, and often of late bundles Of
treasury notes &c, are received at Washing
ton from some one who has been overwhelm-
ed by remorse of conscience, and is driven to
the act of returning his i'll gotten gain to its
rightful owner. It seems this inability to
keep stolen goods, is spreading to petty thieves.
In January last, hive of bees was stolen from
the premises of Mr.. James Hiett, who lives
about three miles north west from this city.
The loss was discovered, but no effectual at
tempts were made to find where it had lodged,
and the matter was dropped. On the night of
the 7th, however, the hive was returned, care
fully wrapped up in the quilt. Whether if
was Just "borroEed, !" with the intention of re-
turning it, or stolen and the thief returned it
to free his conscience is not made known. If
this deep remorse would size them in time to
prevent the crime, it would serve even bet
ter purpose than in its present operations.

FoTepaugh's Grand Menagerie and Cir
Gus, which is advertised in another column,
viii make the first advent to Fremont, on
Thursday next, July 2lst.
For long time we have watched the career
of this gigantic establishment, and read the
comments Of the public press; and Judging
from what we have read and seen, it must be
the grandest Equestrian and Geological Aeqre-
cation that ever pitched tent on the fertile
soil of this State. Ittherefore affords US much
pleasure to announce the approach of first
class exhibition in our midst. The collection
of animals is large, the specimens are rare.
and the variety infinite, requiring thirty ele-
gantly decorated massive cages and dens, to
contain the animals alone, besides the hinge
Asiatic elephant, "Romeo, !" weighing over five
tons, "Baby Annie" and "Bolivar, Jr.," the
petit calf elephants, scarce three feet high.
and the only white, double-humped Bactrian
Camels, Dromedaries, ETC., now in captivity.
The Terre Haute Journal says of this show:
This really comes up to the standard of the
bills as advertised, and, in fact, actually tran
scends our most sanguine expectations. We
have frequently had dreams ofwhata menaqe-
RE and circus should be, but never before have
our visions been so fully realized. In addition
to the caravan, which is separate and distinct
from the circus, though but one price is oharg-
ed, there is an excellent equestrian entertain
meut composed of stars of the first magni-
tude, and on scale of grandeur and maqnif-
cence, demonstrating the almost inexhaust-
ible resources of this colossal exhibition.
No show has visited our city for years that
has drawn together such immense crowds of
people, and all with whom we have conversed
pronounce "a Paws" unobjectionable every
way, and the prevailing opinion is that when
be comes to Terre Haute again he will have to
increase his capacity, which is already large,
in order to accommodate the people.
The bills tell US to see the procession, and
then if we think the chow is not all that it is
claimed to be, not to petronize it. We there
lore say, come in early and see the great dis
play in the streets, and for further particulars
use your own judgement

Absent Minded.-On Saturday last, q
gentleman started from Cleveland for Fostoria.
Arriving at this place, he aighted from the
train for the purpose of purchasing ticket to
his place of destination, and take the train on
the L. E. & L. R. R., which the conductor on
the Lake Shore road had told him would leave
shortly after the departure of his train The
traveller purchased his ticket for Fostoria, and
then calmly and deliberately returned to the
car which he had Just left, and seating himself
waited patiently the arrival at FostoTia. The
motion of the lightning train did not appear
to him more rapid than might be expected on
the other road, nor did he discover his mistake
until in response to the "Ticket Sir" from
conductor Seeley, he produced his ticket to
Fostoria. His chsgrin was plainly discenable
when he found himself bound for Toledo in
stead of Fostoria. There was no opportunity
TO change, short of Toledo, and he had thesen,
tire day for reflection, and meditation on the
of being absent minded.

About Advertising. I've have received
from the Advertiser Office, at Tifin, copy of
the Seneca County Fair Pamphlet, which as a
speciment of Typography would do credit to
any Office. 1t contains "a pages, and scarcely
a business man in that city but has taken ad-
vantage Of its pages to make custom for him
self The business men of Tifin have realized
directly the reverse of whist was asserted in
last weeks Messenger, ss is evidenced by the
fact that the pamphlet has grown larger year
by year, and the present pamphlet contains
seUenteen pages more of advertising than that
of last year. Experience has taught adTerti-
sers this fact that nicely gotten up pamphlet,
containing an advertisement IS preserved in
almost every family into which it goes, and
like the family almanac is kept for reference,
until the next years book supplants it. 1t is
one Of the most valuable methods of advertis-
ing next to the newspaper, that has been de-
vised, our cotemporary to the contrary not
withstanding, and where proper care is taken
IN the distribution of the pamphlets, is not to
be disregarded; and all enterprising commune
ties have grown to regard it as indispensable.
We do not say this because we, as the "pri-
vate firm" referred to, are doing the job, but
because experience has demonstrated what we
say. We are doing the work without charge
to the Society, and do not expect to make
fortune by it if all the business men in town
should have their cards inserted. We know
that some men will differ with us in regard to
its value as an advertising medium, but the
fact that it is growing in favor in other COM
lnunities is proof of its efficacy. Some men
do not believe that advertising in newspapers
pays, but the experience of most business men
is to the contrary. A circular is valuable if
read, but it is as often merely glanced at and
thrown aside; the pamphlet is placed away
carefully, and just as the newspaper is perused
and re-perused, the pamphlet is again and |
again referred to. This is what constitutes |
the value of newspaper advertising,-the pa |
per is preserved, and time and again looked |
over. The same is true of pamphlet adverti-
sing, and the experience of Hostetter, Ayres, |
Jayne's and all other extensive advertisers |
confirms its value.
