Tie Lesson of Nature.

Torpor is the characteristic of winter.
Vegetation dies or falls into state of trance.
The whole aspect Of inanimate nature
teaches us that there Is paralyZing In
fiuence in the air, and ought to teach us that
our bodies require an increase of vital power
to contend with II. Some Of even the warm
blooded animals bury themselves in the
earth and remain in a state of partial stupe-
faction until the season Is over, and the
elixir of the spring sunshine stimulates
their stagnant blood, and restores their
vigor. But man, although he feels the in
nuence of the season, can protect himself
against its inclemcncy. He has fuel to warm
him externally, and can tone and strength
Ell his internal organization and endow It
with the extra amount OF vitality which
the circumstances require. OF all invigor-
ants that have ever been recommended for
this purpose, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is the purest and the best. Fortified by the
daily use of this wholesome vegetable
tonic, the human system may defy the
chills and damps of winter in any latitude.
Its effect is to promote brisk and regular
circulation of the blood, and activity in all
the secretive organs. Without the slightest
tendency to produce fever, it imparts a
heallhful glow to the surface, and stimulates
the exterior vessels to discharge, in the
form of gentle perspiration, the useless
matter eliminated from the blood. Thus
the system is kept unclogged, Fever and
ague, biliousncSs, indigestion and collie, all
OF which are the common consequences OF
the searching dampS and low temperature
of winter, may he avoided (aS we'll rs cured
by course OF this genial tonic and altera-

An ACCIDENT AND NARROW Escape
On Saturday last Willie White, son OF
Mr.. James \. White, OF Fairmont, was
attempting to draw bucket of water
from the we'll, and while occupied in
sinking the bucket, he slipped and was
precipitated head foremost to the bottom
of the well. Being possessed of con-
siderable "pluck" and energy, the little
fellow Immediately grasped the chain
to which the bucket was attached and
commenced efforts at self.preServat!on.
He managed to draw himself about
halfway to the top, when the chain
broke, and he was again precipitated to
the bottom. Having no other recourse,
he bravely attempted to scale the wall;
When near the top, his cries attracted
attention, and he was rescued from his
perilous position. The well is twenty
feet deep, and contains about seven feet
of water The child was badly scared,
though not much injured. The great
wonder is how he escaped death, either
by drowning, or by contact with the
wall. His own energy and effort un-
doubtedly saved his life.-Hest lT'

Editors of the Register:
want you to print for me few plain
words. Tell the editor Of the LnteW-
qenccr that the election Of MI. Ora
CRAFT. meant the sacrifice of no Wheel
ing aspirant for any other position
1t meant, .-simply, that Mr.. JACKSON,
with his strange opinions and notions
which he calls Democratic, was not as
popular with majority Of members OF
the House, as was Mr.. CRACRAFr, who
stood upon the Democratic platform.
If Mr.. LEWIS, of Harrison, whose po'
litical views are sound, had been pitted
against Mr.. CRAcRAFT, the latter gen
tleman would not have been elected.
The election of myself as President
of the Senate possesses no other sig,
nificance than that my Democratic
colleagues desired to express a kindly
feeling for me, and hence they unani'
mouslv and with cordiality, rendered
me the position-two Republican Soma

was presented who possessed the neces
