AS AN INDULGENCE.


This poison is used by millions o'
willing uictims, under as many apol
ogies, and yet never without injury
and seldom without utter ruin. After
the manifold excuses are told, the
real cause or charm of its use is not
in the taste of the liquor, but in the
Intoxicating principles taking effect
upon the nervous system. More than
any other poisonous drug it effects
the brain; especially the base of the
brain. The baser passions are easily
reused, and the man becomes
sensual anu devilish. The involun-
tary nerves, which control vitality,
belong to the cerebellunor of the
brain. To exh, u these nerves, is o
exhaust life TOR item to seep, is
death. Thirt which excites the nerv
GUS system, leaves it exaustedr and
the shattered nerves raise a morbid
cry for the accustomed stimulants.
As alcohol excites the involuntary
nerves, it preys most greedily upon
life, and thus a man though never
found dead drunk" may yet be
found drunk dead. These facts serve
to condemn the use of alchol.
AS MEDICINE.
1t was first used as medicine, and
thus became a beverage. And not
only the old physicians, but many
of this day are responsible for max
ing men drinkers and drunkards
Alcohol is given as a stimulent, but
as it does not assimilate with the
system, it is unnatural, and cannot
give any real or permanent strength,
and must, therefore, in every case
result in injury.--Alcohol, like the
full and sudden passions of desire,
joy, and their opposites may for a
time make a weak man strong, bu,
as in the case when passions subside,
it leaves the weak man weaker. As
the higher ball is thrown, the deep
er it will sink in the soil; so the
natural strength is reduced in, pro-
portion to the unnatural sire myth oi
excitement from alcohol. But We
have not Nj. D.. to our name, and

Thos. Beamount, M. r. G. S.,
President OF the Bradford Medical
Association, says: Those men who

Intoxicating drinks and advocate tn,

A Funny Incident.

A friend in Wooster, sends the follow
ing amusing instance of the simplicity
of the African lad, as he eyInced i'm his
first efforts to attain knowledge of the
English vocabulary. The boy, some
seven or eight years old, Dan by name,
was set TO learn words in an old spelling
book that had been tossed about the
house. He soon became interested i'm
watching a race between small boy
and Time as represented by an engrav-
ing in the book, and every spare day
that he could find was devoted to the
contemplation Of the Ito him exciting
chase. Night finally compelled the
young African to lay aside the book
which his race at the present day mani
fest so much pleasure in studying, and
to retreat to his pallet, where, no doubt,
he dreamed Of "dat big fellow wild de
mowin' scyve," as he called him, in pur-
suit of the poor frightened boy. Dan
was up with the lark the next morning,
and the first thing he did was to get the
speller and look for the heroes of the
race. He gazed intently fer an instant
on the picture, and then, with wild
scream of delight, exclaimed, as he
danced all about the old kitchen, s.IIe

Railroad Meeting at Weinsberg.

In answer to a call of the officers of
the Baltimore, Connellsville,. Pittsburg
& Chicago Railroad Company the citi-
zens of Weinsberg and vicinity met in
Union School Hall, and organized by
calling Capt. ii. +. Pounds TO the chair,
and selecting f. r. Benfer, Esq, of
Dundee, as Secretary. -
Mr.. Hunt, President of the Company,
addressed the people for about an hour,
explaining the motives. that prompted
the building of the road, and the great
Importance it was to the people of the
east and the benefits it would confer
upon those of the west. He stated that
railroad combinations and competitions
rendered the building of the road of the
highest Importance, that those engaged
in the work were determined on success,
and that if the people along the line
would but lend helping hand the tri-
umph of this great enterprise would be
assured. Mr.. Hunt assured the people
that it would be safe investment; that
the circumstances that neceSsitated the
building of the road would be guar
anty against the stock depreciating;
that if the stock should 90 upon the
market the Company dare not let it get
below par, else the Pennsylvania Cen
tral would buy up the stock and control
the road in opposition to the Baltimore
& Ohio road.
Judge Stewart, of Loudonville, also
addressed the people, urging them to
prompt and vigorous action; assuring
them that the seeming delay was no just
grounds for discouragement; that the
completion of the Connellsville road
and other important matters, requiring
time and patience, had caused delay, but
were no grounds for fearing defeat.
Capt. johnson, Col. joss, and others
were called upon and responded briefly.
On motion of G. W. Weltz, of Dun
dee, Fred. Richenbanch, f. X. Benfer,
William Adams, NJ. J. Kohr, and Robt.

Life.

What VARYING thing is the stream Of
life, How it sparkles and glitters, Now
it bounds along its pebbly bed, some
times in sunshine, sometimes in shade
sometimes sporting round all things, as
if its essence were merriment and
brightness; sometimes flowing solemn
ly on, as if it were derived from Lethe
itself. Now it runs like liquid dia-
mond along the meadow: now il
plunges in fume and fury over the rock ;
now it is clear and limpid, as youth and
innocence can make il: now it is heavy
and turbid, with the varying streams OF
thought and memory that areever fiow-
ing into il, each bringing its store OF
dulness and pollution as it tends to-
wards the end. Its voice, too, varies as
it goes; now it sings lightly, as il dances
on; now it roars amidst the obstacles
that oppose its way: and now it has no
tone but the dull. low murmur of ex-
hausted energy. Such is the stream of
life, yet perhaps few OF Us would wish
to change our portion of it for the calm
regularity of canal-even if one could
be constructed without locks and flood
gates upon it, to hold in the pent-np
waters of the heart till they are ready
TO Bhrst through the banks.

FROM FREDERICKSBURG.

MEssRs. EDITORS : We have been Wis
iited very frequently during the past
week with rain, which was very dis
Icourasing to our farmers and delayed
the progress of farm work. But il has
again cleared off and it is quite warm at
present. Farmers have again resumed
their work in preparing ground and
sowing spring crops.
The township election went of yer!s
quietly, without any excitement what
ever. The Democrats carry the town.
ship by small majority as usual.
The select school at this place, under
the direction OF j. VI. Fraze, opened ON
last Monday, under very favorable pros
poets. The number of students exceeded
expectations. We consider Mr.. Fraze
perfectly capable of giving instruction
in all the branches usually taught in
high schools and academies, and would
recommend all lesirouS Of preparing
themselves for teaching or business OF
any Kind TO this school. r
We had the pleasure OF attending re-
Gently literary society in Franklin tp.,
two miles from this place. Theexercises
were very interesting. The question
under discussion was: ''ReSolred, That
there was but one creation. The ques-
ton was so well handled by both par
ties that we were at 4 loss 10 decide
which produced the best arguments,
but it was finally decided in favor of the
affirmative. The society was interrupted
several times by disorderly boys. flor
they do not deserve the name of men,
and are minns the principles which con-
stitute men, who, as it appeared, were
desirous of creating disturbance. They
were reprimanded several times for their
conduct and were finally threatened with
the law. Some of these would-be gen.
tlemen live in the immediate vicinity,
and -fein to be respectable. We would
ask them to adhere to the scripture re-
proof, not TO think themselves some
thing when they are nothing, and we
would further advise them that if they
visit this society on future occasions, to
remember that such institutions are pro-
tected by law.
1t has been truly said that We live in
an age of wonders: in an age when
strange and miraculous things are of al
most daily occurrence. We were in
formed by a friend, the other day, that
Mr.. +. Greigor, of Franklin tp., will
soon offer TO the people of Wayne and
Holmes counties, and to farmers gener-
ally, new variety of oats, which bids
fair to entirely eclipse the famous Nor
way and Surprise Oats. This new spe-
eies of oats originated from a SINCE ker-
mel, and was grown in Mr.. Greigor's
garden. One hundred and six stalks
grew from this one grain, containing in
all four thousand grains. This may ap-
pear like fish story to some of the
readers of the REPUBLICAN, but to any
who doubt it, we would refer them to
Mr.. Greigor himself, who is noted for
truth and veracity. We would say that
he will not be prepared to fill large con-
tracts for oats until next spring.

Origin Of Literary Degrees.

The practice of comforting literary
degrees on persons conceived to be of
more than ordinary erudition began in
the twelfth century, when the Emperor
Lothaire having found in Italy a copy
of the Roman Law, ordained that it
should be publicly expounded in the
school; and that he might have encour-
agement to the study, he further order
ed that the public professors of this law
should be dignified with the title of
doctors. The first person created a
doctor after this ordinance of the en-
peror was Bulgarirs Hugolinus, who
was greatly distinguished for his learn
ing and literary labors.

Runaway.

As Mr.. Carmi Crawford was coming
into town Tuesday morning in his car
riage, accompanied by his little son, his
horses took fright at an old Mortar box
lying on Washington street east of
Main, and the harness breaking, they
ran toward Main Street. Mr.. Crawford,
in trying to stop them, drew them on
the pavement just back of Koch's store.
Turning into the street again, they
crossed over and ran against the railing
in front of Birds clothing store, break
ing the tongue of the carriage and throw
ing MIR. Crawford ont upon the railing,
skinning his knuckles but otherwise not
injuring him. The boy was thrown
against the dashboard of the carriage
and was slightly bruised but not badly.
The horses breaking loose from the
buggy, turned down Main street, and
were caught just below the Commercial
Block. The horses were large and pow
eriul, but had never shown any signs OF
running away before. People should be
careful what they leave on the streets,
that would be likely to brighten horses.
as serious accidents might happen by this
negligence.
