Winter Wisdom.

Warm clothing alone will not protect the
body against the consequences of the sud-
den depression oftemperature which is con-
Of early winter. Flannel next the
skin preserves the animal heat, but it does
not impart animal vigor. That property is
the special prerogative Of Hostetler's Stom-
ach Bitters, which is therefore a specific
protection against majority OF the COM
plants which are most common at this
season. For example, a course of the great
vegetable invigorant, commenced now,
will be almost sure to preclude chills and
fever, bilious collie, disorders of the stomach,
and many other complaints
which are often the direct or indirect effect
OF an atmosphere surcharged with cold, I'M
wholesome vapor. Moreover, the system
toned and regulated by this means is much
more likely to resist pulmonary disease
than 1t would otherwise be; for the infiu-
ence of searching medicine peryades all the
organs, and every fiber and tissue of the
frame. Persons whose vital powers are
weak, especially invalid ladies and the
aged, are earnestly recommended not to
face the winters rigor without having re-
course to this safe and sufficient means OF
enfeebled nature. Much suf-
fering may be escaped, much danger avert
ed by following this council. Better late
than never, is good proverb, but ii Is bet
ter to be early than late.

THE Democrats and Reform Repub-
lcans o! Pittsburgh won very salts
factory victory last Tuesday by the
election OF Mr.. BLACSMoRE, an indie
pendent Democrat, for Mayor Of the
city, over the regular Republican NOM
inee. The Post has been engaged dur
ing several months past in exposing the
operations Of an alleged" Ring" for the
management OF municipal affairs. The
Republican papers came to the defense
Of the Ring" and were full Of indig-
nant deuunciation Of the charges made
by the Post, but the people seem to have
been convinced that there was some
foundation for these charges and have
accordingly elected the anti-ring" can
didate ly a majority of more than 1900
votes. Mr.. BLACKMoRE is Democrat,
but ran as an independent candidate,
the Democrats making no nomination.
His election is not claimed as a party
triumph, but merely as the triumph of
honesty over corruption. 1t resembles
on a small scale the success OF the re-
formers in New York, and has been
brought about by similar causes and
similar means.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.

The Clarksburg papers are agitating
the question Of removal Of the State
Capital from Charleston to some other
point not yet determined. The 7slc'
graph suggests the following method OF
settling by vote OF the people the ques
ton OF it's location:
Our method of settling this question,
would be this: Let those Delegates in
favor OF Wheeling, Parkersburg, Clarks-
burg, Grafton and Buckhannon, get
together and agree upon one of the
points indicated, and then incorporate
an article in the Constitution locating
the Capital at the point selected, subject
to the ratification OF the people, and let
the Convention provide for the submis.
sion of this question separately from the
main body of the Constitution. That
is let the Constitution be Submitted to
the people for ratification or rejection,
and at the same time let the location OF
the Capital be submitted as separate
question,

BuckhannOn.

We were over in our sister town o
few days ago, and were surprised at
the many evidences OF substantial
improvement which met us on every
hand. We doubt if any country town
in the State Charleston excepted) has
improved as much during the past five
years. There appears to be spirit
Of emulation among the inhabitants as
to who shall put up the neatest
dwelling house or place Of business.
The houses are handsomely built, and
with all their surroundings are kept
scrupulously clean. Considering the
muddy weather, the streets were a
marvel of cleanliness. The sidewalks
are kept in fine order; and the whole
arrangement OF the town is great
compliment TO the good management
of the jewellers therein, and to the
authorities. Weston Democrat

Awkward.

A citizen Of Elizabeth, N. j., went
to the cars on Thanksgiving Day to
see his daughter of. Securing her a
seat, he passed out Of the cars, and
went round to her window to say
parting word, as is frequently done on
such occasions. While he was
passing out, the daughter left her seat
to speak to a friend, and at the same
time, a prim-looking lady who &C.
cupied the seat with her, moved up to
the window. Unaware of the I'M
portant changes inside, our venerable
friend hastily put his face up to the
window and hurriedly exclaimed,
Zone more kiss, sweet pet In
another instant the point OF blue
cotton umbrella caught his seductive
lips, followed by the passionate
"Scat, you gray-headed
wretch" and he seated. ...

The Weston Democrat, which by the
way is one of the spiciest and best con-
,lucted OF our West Virginia exchanges
and has exerted COOL and powerful
influence in its section of the State, has
startled some OF our Radical friends
beyond measure by gravely proposing
the re-establishment OF "the whipping
post" as punishment for crime. The
suggestion was probably intended in the
first place to be treated as joke, but it
has been SO Unexpectedly and incau-
tiously assailed by the Radicals that the
Democrat could not well avoid saying
something in its defense and thus far, 1t
must be confessed, that paper has rather
the best OF the argument. DEQUINCEY S
celebrated essay on Murder as a Fine
Art" was not very successful in cult
waiting a popular t'ste for homicide,
and we doubt whether this apparent
effort of our Weston friend for the re-
viyal Of mode OF punishment long ago
discarded as barbarous will accomplish
or is :intsadGd to meet with a different
result.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
-:O:-
Standard PRINCIPLES.

There should be standard principles in
medicine as well as philosophy.
Without n "zero" to start from, or a
STANDARD" from which to calculate the de-
viations, the principle and practice of medl-
cine, in fact the principles OF any art or SCI
ence, cannot be satisfactorily elucidated or
properly understood.
The art and science Of medicine Is divided
into several Specidt departments, each hav-
ing their standard principles which form
the basis for their scientific calculations.
Every particular part OF the human body
has had its average natural properties, con-
stituents, quantities, &c, reduced upon SCI
entific principles to u standard OF nearly
definite proportions in health.
This serves for the more correct elucida-
ton of disease by comparison and measure
ment of the deviations from the healthy
standard. Thus the average proport1Onaie
constituents of the blood in health being re-
duced to a standard, any considerable devil
alton from this standard quality OF the
blood is disease.
The same in the urinary eXcretiOn; the
average natural proportionate constituents
OF the urine in health form the standard,
any considerable deviation from which
basis, either in proportion or constituents,
exhibits disease.
This latter is a practical fact which we are
daily demonstrating at our Office, No. ~
Grant street, and which any one can have
tested TO their entire satisfaction by sending
q standard specimen mornings urine) Tor
scientific analysis and examination.
II we fail 10 detect the "morbid condi-
tions," if any; or to determine the nature
of the disease, or the organs affected, ms the
lungs, liver, stomach, brain, kidneys,
womb, &c, there shall be no charge made.
Be sure TO give the age of the patient at the
same time, as the urine varies in proportion
ate constituents in the different ages OF in
fancy, childhood, manhood, and Old age.
The name and residence of each patient
should be given also, in order to avoid con-
fusion OF cases where medicines are taken.

From the Weston Democrat
Reunion of the VirGinias.


Immediately after the State election
of 1870, when f5r the first time Democ-
racy was triumphant in West Virginia,
it was asserted by some of our expe-
rienced politicians that the Republic ans
would at once favor the reunion of the
two States. We could not then enter
tain such an idea, for the Radicals had
at all times made the argument by their
press and upon the stump, that it was
the Democratic idea to carry us back
to ole Virginny." 1t is true they knew
better than this; and it is true that the
argument lost many votes to the De-
mocracy.
But now comes the Richmond Journal,
the leading organ Of the Republicans Of
Virginia, in denunciation Of the man.
ner in which this State was torn from
the breast OF its mother, aud in a tone
of authority demanding "the immediate
reconstruction Of Virginia" in a man.
ner that will restore her to all her
former territorial grandeur.
And the most surprising part OF the
matter is that the Republican press Of
this State are silent in the matter. Not
a word OF protest do they utter in de.
Tense of the "bastard child delivered
by Radical Esculapians from the womb
OF civil war. We would ask, Why Is
this thus? Will not some loil brother
rise to explain?
We know that a reunion of the two
States is not desirable; We know that
such a proposal would be voted down
by all parties. But why this silence
over in the Republican camp9 Are we
to infer that silence gives consentf

Accidentally Killed.

We have the particulars Of an
accident which occurred in Harmon
township last week, and which termi.
mated fatally. A man named John
Smith was walling up well, and had
a negro boy assisting him. The boy
was about to lower some rocks, when
one weighing about fifteen pounds fell
from the tub and struck Smith, who
was at the bottom OF the well, on the
head, fracturing the skull. He lin
gered about thirty,six hours, when
death came to his relief. He leaves
a wife and three children.-Mason
