The board of directors is a guarantee Of their
Intentions, and with their list of stockholders,
extending for over two hundred and fifty miles

IEIEE 4. WASHBURN, Governor OF
Nermrnt, died at his home in Wool
stock, Monday morning last, Feb. 9TH,
at the age of 30 wears. From an item
which appeared in our paper last week.
the reader may be somewhat prepared
for tins announcement, although we do
not think it was generally known that he
was i'll till he was past hope of recovery.
In addition to the labors attendant up
on his duties as governor of the state,
Governor Washburn had entered with
great energy into the project of rail
road from his town to White Rlver
the corporation, and had worked with
characteristic zeal for its completion. un-
til few weeks since, when the accu
mutation of work and anxiety proved
too much for his physical endurance,
and his health broke down. The immc-
diate cause Of his death was water on
the brain.
Gov. Washburn was one of the mark
ed men of our state. a native OF
Massachusetts, and graduate OF
Dartmouth, he established himself in the
law at Woodstock in lSi4, where he ever
afterwards remained In 1851 and
1870 he represented his town in the State
legislature. When the war broke out he
was among the first to tender his services
to the State. lie went out with the
First VI. regiment as Lieut.. Colonel, and
had command at the battle of Big Beth
81. The next fail Inc was elected Adju-
tant General of the State and it was in
this capacity that the Governors pecu-
liar qualities of thorough system and in-
defatigable energy were displayed to the
best advantage. Gov. Fairbanks found
him great help in the unorganized state

GOV. Washburn was living with lii
second wife, by whom he leaves three
children. His funeral will be held to-
day. The duties of the office of Cover
nor will now devolve upon Lt-Gov. Geo.
W. Hendce, of Morrislown and it i ~
little satisfaction to know that they co lie
to a man fully qualified to discharge them
ably and faithfully.
This is the first instance in the history
of orr State when the (,nynrunr I.,-

there was no choice of Governor 10y the
people, and Lt-Gov. Silas ii. Jennison

HeaIth's Rest DefenGe.

"The weak eateth herbs" says st. Paul,
SO that eighteen hundred years age the val.
ne 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 calomel, or blue pill,
or any other mineral preparation. The
sick were directed to eat herbs to strength
en- them, to purify them, to heal them, to
restore them. In that day the art Of max
ing vegetable extracts was unknown. Fhe
herbal medicines were mere infusions.
Il was reserved for q later age to unite the
sanitary essences of tonic, aperient and
ambitious roots, barks and plants, with an
active stimuIant, and thus secure their rap
id diffusion through the debilitated or dis
ordered system. The browning triumph
Of this effective mode of concentrating and
applying the virtues of mediclnd vegetables
was achieved in the production of Hostel
tel's Stomach Bitters. Never before had
q perfectly pure alcoholic stimulant been
combined with the expressed juices Of the
finest specifics Of the vegetable kingdom.
Never yet, though eighteen years have
elapsed since its introduction, has this great
restorative been equalied. It is taken at
all seasons, in all chimes, as the most po-
tent safeguard against epidemics, as 4 pro-
lection against all unhealthy exhibitions
that produce debility or beget disease as a
remedy for intermittent and other mala-
riious fevers as al appetiser as q sovereign
cure for dyspepsia as a general tonic and
inyigorant : asa gentle. painless aperient ;
asa blood depurent, as y nervine; as a
cure for bilious affections as q harmless
anodyne and as the BEST OFFENCE or
