Spread the Truth.

Some medical men insist that 1t is undig-
nified to advertise a remedy, however val.
liable it may he. Queer reasoning this. II
is like saying that an article which the
world needs should be hid in corner-thal
benefits and blessings may be too widely
diifused-that the means Of protecting and
restoring health should he close lnon0p-
oily, and not accessible to all. The argu-
ment is bad. 1t Is worse than that, 1t Is
i,lI,lnndn. Suppose Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters-an absolute specific for dyspepsia,
never been known beyond the repertoire OF
the faculty, what would have been the con-
sequence? Instead of curing and lnvigor-
ating millions, the good effects of the prepa-
ration would have been confined to COM
parative few. There Is the highest author
ity for saying that light should not be hid
under buShel that whatever Is excellent
should be placed rs city on hill, where
all men can take cOgnizance OF IL. 1t Is
upon this principle that the Bitters have
been advertised and continue to be adVer-
tiScd in every newspaper OF any prOnl-
uence in the western hemisphere, and that
the spontaneous TESTIMONIALS III lts taVor
have been translated into all written IAN
guages. Thousands enjoy perfect health
to-day who would be langulshing OH beds
OF sickness If the newspapers had not spread
he truth ,cih regard TO this unePtdied intfgor-
ant ami corrective far and wide. Suppose
profit has been reaped from this publicity.
Is that any argument against 1t? II the
public health has been protected; If lives
have been saved; If the feeble have been
strengthened and the sick restored, great
QOOti has been accomplished: and who so mean
ms to grudge to excrtions thus directed their
fair reward?

DEDUCT the negro vote from that cast
by the white Radicals of Ohio, at the
late election, and the Democrats carry
the State by ten thousand majority. In
Philadelphia the same general fact is
apparent White men deserted the
Radicals by the thousands. They
would not be put on level, if not be,
low negroes. But the solid negro vote
bridged over the chasm this time, and
allowed the party in power to rob, plum
der and pillage for another year, a
mighty change is, however, taking place
| in the minds of the people. They no"
see and understand the real purpose
and meaning Of negro suffrage. They
behold herds Of ignorant negroes driven
to the polls like cattle, to vote solid for
the Radical party. Impartial suffrage
is farce. 1t has no meaning, as In
terpreted by the managers of the Radl
cal organization. The negro has q
right to vote for their candidates. He
has no right to vote against them. This
is the position of the men now ruling
the Radical party in all parts Of the
country, and white citizens are desert
ing the black standard, and acting with
the Democracy. This fact is demon
strated in an unmistakable manner by
the recent result in Pennsylvania and
Ohio.

Chean VEGETABLE Cellar.

The Household says that to make a
cheap vegetable celler, sink barrel two
thirds of its depth into the ground, "a
box or a cask will answer better pur-
pose); heap the earth around the part
projecting out Of the ground, with a
slope on all sides; place the vegetables
that you desire to keep, in the vessel
cover the top with watertight cover
and then when winter sets in throw an
armful of straw. hay, or something Of
that sort, on the barrel. If the bottom
is out of the cask or barrel, it will be
better. Cabbages, celery and other
vegetables will keepin this as fresh az
when taken from the ground. The
celery should stand nearly perper aicu
lar, celery and earth alternating. Free
dom from frost, ease of access, ant
and especially freshness and freedom
from rot are the advantages claimed.

Cause and Effect.

Colds are the effect of DISTRACTED perspira-
ton. The symptoms are so generally I'M
derstood that nothing need be said on that
point. But colds are easily taken, and I'M
less great care is exercised a second cold
will often be contracted, or in other words,
one cold will run into another, and con-
firmed cough ensue, bringing on straining
and racking of the lungs, and the produc-
ton of tubercles. Although many thou
sands of persons are drifting through these
symptoms towards pulmonary diseases OF
dangerous character, yet the majority think
that they are troubled with nothing but an
ordinary cold, which will remedy itself and
pass away. Fatal delusion the rock on
which many life has been lost. See to IL
at once that your cold is attended to. Use
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS, the most
potent remedy ever discovered for Colds
and Coughs, and certain protection
against the danger of taking them, If 1t Is
used regularly two or three times day as Il
tonic.

Railroad.

Editors OF the Register:
Your readers would like to know no
doubt, what the prospects are in regard
to the new projected road from Wheel
ing through Hopedale to Uhricksville
on the Pan Handle. The people along
the line are working up subscriptions,
and on seventeen miles Of the eastern
end, in one week, reported $4,000 local
subscription. Taking the $4,000 per
mile of Eastern capitalists the 100000
pledged by the city of Wheeling to any
route making its eastern terminus
Wheeling and running NorthwestwardIy
towards the lake, in all fitty-seven miles
of road. The amount so pledged mp to
date. October 10Th, is one million,
seventy thousand and eight hundred
dollars, and the right of way nearly all
secured.
Yours truly, 4. B. PAUL.

New Cattle Disease.

The Ware, TIumb'e county, Oil ,,
Chronicle says that farmers and others
in that section, complain Of new
disease having broken ont, called black,
LEG. The flesh on the fore legs OF the
cattle gradually drops oil, leaving the
bone exposed. a gentleman from Lo-
rain county'telis us that the same dis
order is prevailing to considerable ex-
tent there, the fore legs of the animal
swell to such an extent that the skin
bursts, and the flesh drops off, having
turned black. The same epidemic is
also prevailing in Canada, opposite De-
troit; some OF the horses there have
died with it. The conclusion OF many
who are familiar with the working OF
the disease, attribute its cause TO the bite
of peculiar kind OF black fly. Some
OF the best veterinary surgeons are of
the same opinion. Washing the parts
with strong soap suds. and applying
coating of lard, fish-oil and sulphur, is
given as a remedy.
