SPECIAL NOTICES.

p9AN INsALuBR1ous AsoN.-Spring is
welcome, but not its diseases. We should be
glad to have its bloom without its fogs its vapors
its sudden changes of temperature, and the agues
fits of Indigestion bilious attacks, and other har
RAISING disorders which they engender. As this
cannot be- it bchoovcs all sensible people to do
the best they can to escape such serious draw
backs. on the poetry of the season. Ask any ply
Sicinn what the weak and dolicutc ought to do
when iniusnn intecta the air. The answer will
be, 'tone and regulate the system" But how?
That is the important question. dozen medi-
cal men would probably recommend rs many
different medicines On the other hand, the
thousands who have tested the virtues of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters rs al invlgorunt and al
terutivr, will recommend but one, the whole
some preventive and restorative in which
their own experience has taught them to trust
A course Of this rare vegetable stimulnnt, CON-
nenccd now would save many q pang t" the
feeble and debilitated. 1t would be wise econo-
my too, for it would probably preclude the ne-
ccssitv for medical advice. Without disparage-
ment to profession which all intelligent men
and women respect and honor, it Is just a. well;
if possible to keep out Of the doctors hands, and
they would have comparatively few cases of TO-
yer and ague, dyspepsia, biiousne:s, NERVOUSNESS.
and general debility to attend to, il this agreeable
and hculthtul specific were in universal use.

The STATE DEBT.-In the State Senate,
Yesterday, Mr. Hcrndon introduced sub
stitute for the bill providing for the fund
ing and payment of the public debt, which
provides that the accounting officer Of the treas
ury pay on the lst of January, 1872 four per
cent interest, and on the lst Of July and lst
Of January in each and every year thereafter,
two per cent on the principal of the public
debt of the State now bearing interest, this be-
ing the amount Of Interest which this State feel'
obligated to pay until there is a settlement be,
tween her and West Virg inia; nothing in the
act to he construed as intending to effect OF
compromise, in any manner, the settlement in
tended to be had with West Virginia in regard
to the public debt All necessary expenses incur
red in carrying out the provisions OF the act are
to be paid upon the warrant of the Auditor OF
Public Accounts, drawn on the treasury, out OF
any money therein not otherwise appropriated.
This is to be the competing proposition with
the report Of the joint committee of Finance OF
the two houses, heretofore noticed, and which
will be considered, it is said, in few days. The
foreign bondholders have presented to the Sen
ate protest to the adoption of the sugges-
tons of the report of the Finance Committee
on the ground that there should be no ''arbi-
trary reduction of their bonds, rendering any
new promise of but little value; that the as
sumption of only two-thirds of the debt is in
defensible, since settlement with West Vir-
GINA may never be had, and that direct injury
will be done the bonds by the adoption of such
measures as proposed by the committee
