Any course of life which gives one good appetite and induces good digestion, is q great point gained in the mastery of any disease-the principal one. I believe.

 At one time, they publicly paraded our streets in daylight, and by receiving much help from their friends in other towns, talked, and sang, and raised tall, slim hickory pole.

This pole has stood unoared for and unmolest- 1 ed, growing gradually as rotten as the cause it represented. till, few days since, when Mr. B. 0. Prindle, Democrat. under took to cut it down. Alas! it's fall did a great deal more damage than it's raising had accomplished! Ia stood near the grave and monument of Col. Seth Warner, which is enclosed by a beautiful iron feuce, part of which the pole in it fall crushed to the ground.

GENERAL SCHENK AND THE HorDIRRs' VoTE. Dayton, Ohio, sends us simultane- ously the assurance that General Schenck has been offered the mission to England, and the announcement that he has con- scented that his friends shall contest, in his name, the legality of the election of Lew Campbell over him for. Congress The facts on which the contest will be based will ren. der it quite interesting, and the issue of some general importance. Between three and four hundred of the disabled soldiers in the national asylum ct Dayton under took to vote for Schenck, but were ruled out at the instance of tho notorious Val landigham, on the ground that the supreme court of Ohio had decided that the estate on which the asylumSis located, having been ceded to the general government, and the jurisdiction over it passed completely out of the hands of the State, nobody who resided upon such estate had c right to vote in the state. The reply to this will be that,
 in the act of cessian by the State of Ohio,
 it was expressly proyided that the residents of the ceded grounds should have the same right to vote as any other citizens of Ohio
 To which, mOreover,ait may be further ar sgued, that on the question of the election of 8 Congressman, Congress; and not the su- preme court of Ohio, has the final decision as to the rights of voters The rejected votes were enough to have elected Schenck by three hundred majority; and we have no doubt that Congress will sustain the contest, declare the right of the soldiers to the ballot, and count Schenck' into his seat again. Bus we hope that, in doing this, it will % farther, and declare the general principal that residenta un public grounds, ileastfor members Of Congress and Presi.

DEATH OF MR. 4GA1Us F. WARNER. We are pained at being called upon to an- nounce the death of Gaius F. Warner, of the firm of Warner & Co.,. malleable iron manufacturers of this city. He had long been connected with the manufacturing interests of New Haven, and was highly esteemed by all classes. ,.g..-..f.....
 In the death of MT. Warner, the city hos lost one of her most esteemed and ivalua- ble citizens. He was born in Plymouth, Conn, April l. 1611.; Losing his father at an early age, he was nurtured to self-reli- ance, and has achieved signal success by dint of perseverance,, prudence, economy, and strict integrity. For more than twen-
 ty years he has illustrated in this city an honest and useful life, which cannot soon be forgotten. He was known abroad as the proprietor of the Malleable Iron Works; and was one of the few in the country who achieved success in this department of manufacture. As town officer, as a mem- Der of the various boards and committees,
 he has uniformly secured the respect and affections of those associated with him. He was especially kind and considerate to-. ward those in his employ. He was thought ful and generous in his charities to the poor. F. ta. .5 s-,..l.,.:.. The stranger who stopped upon the street to admire the beauty and grandeur of his residence, would have been surpris- ed to find in its owner so much simplicity in character, so little ostentation. in life. | He was a man of sound sense, excellent in judgment, and safe in counsel. For about forty years, he has been an active and ear nest member of the, church of Christ. He
 was modest and reticent by nature, and yet ever ready to do what he could for the cause of his Master. uzia.L 64es
 After a severe illness of 8 few days, he, met his death with joy. The last hours of his life were the brightest. He was lifted above the world long before he left it, and seemed like one talking from within the gates. The College Street church, of which he was a leading member, was con- stantly upon his mind and heart He ex- pressed strong desire to live that he might work fol. it's prosperity, and for the conversion of souls. It may be that his death will accomplish more in this respect than even his fife could have done. 's For he being dead, yet speaketh. TT Paaadian.
