The gas Question.
FRIDAY January 10Th, ISL

Editors OF the Register:
With your permission will endeavor
to answer one of the questions OF IAN
old property holder in to-day's REGIS
TER.
will not every tax payer in this city
have to pay his share Of the debt?
meaning the debt created by the pur-
chase OF the Gas Works.
The firm of which am member
paid twenty-five dollars taxes, on their
stock. to the city on the assessment OF
1870.
They used, so their gas bills show,
nearly thirty-three thousand cubic feet
of gas, from the first Of April last,
until the first of January. Allow they
burn in the three months ending next
first Of April, to which date the city
taxes are paid, ten thousand cubic
feet more, say forty-three thousand
cubic feet for the year.
A reduction Of one dollar per thou
sand cubic feet would make their gas
bill forty-three dollars less, showing
plainly that they could have afforded to
have paid an advance OF seventy per
cent. in taxes with the one dollar per
thousand cubic feet which went into
the Golfers of the Gas Company, and
from which they, not being stockhold-
ers, receive no future benefit. In the
event of the city purchasing and con-
trolling the works, any extra tax they
NAV pay-and all will agree it need not
be over twenty-five per cent. advance on
the present taxes-will constitute them
virtually stockholders whose dividends
will come to them in the form Of still
further diminished gas bills.
That every taxpayer will have to pay
his share of the debt is certain; that
every gas consumer will have his taxes
returned him is Just as certain.

time and space, believing have an
swered one query of 20. P. II. very

Track Laying.

We learn that track laying is gradu,
ally progessing.on the line Of the Pitts
burgh and Cumberland railroad, and
that the construction train reached
Ohio Pyle Falls, twenty-one miles east
of Connellsville, on Monday. From
Cumberland, westwardly, the train has
reached Southampton, l9 miles from
this city. Sand Patch Tunnel is re-
ported ready for the rails This is the
largest tunnel on the road, being 400
feet long. Pinkerton tunnel is finished,
which is but four miles from Brook S
tunnel, which latter will be the last
work ready for the track. As far as
the track is laid passenger and freight
trains are daily running.-C"mberla"d

sfratiOn Deferred until March.

President Hughart, Of the Councils
Vile Railroad left Baltimore yesterday,
to arrange for an informal opening OF
the road to Baltimore, which is expect

February. The grand event of linking
Pittsburgh, by rail, with Baltimore and

made ready to admit the passage of

not take place until the road-bed has
become settled, and until everything
has been got into good working order.
The event is already exciting some in

A Strange Occurrence.

Mr.. Michael Eddy, of Fairview. this
county, called at our Office last Thurs
day, and related to us the most singular
and unreasonable occurrence we ever
heard. But as he is a man Of yeracity
we have to believe him. HIS horse bit
off his COW $ tongue. The circumstances
connected with the occurrence.are these
The cow was licking salt through a
crack in the horses manger, and the
horse, not wishing to divide his salt,
seized the opportunity TO relieve the
cow of hor tongue. The cow was dis
covered to be bleeding at the mouth,
and upon examination was found to he
minus tongue. 1t was some time be-
fore Mr.. Eddy ascertained how or where
the poor COW had lost her treasure: but
it was finally found in the horses man
ger The COW is recovering but makes
a poor out eating. Her only diet is

Exciting Run-OH-NarrOw Escape
from Death.

On Thursday, 18th instant, as Messrs.
VIM. ?. and John Wiley, sons OF Sen
ator Wiley, were proceeding from Nor
gantown to Fairmont in two-horse
buggy, they met with an accident which
came near costing them their lives, or
at least few broken bones.
As they passed GAINESVILLE station,
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, one
mile this side of Fairmont, they dis
covered a gentleman in the road I'M
hitching a couple Of horses from a sled.
They passed on, but had scarcely pro-
ceedcd two or three hundred yards be-
fore they heard the CHATTER Of horses
hoofs in their rear and turning their
heads discovered that the horses that
had been detached from the sled were
running away, terribly frightened. MIR.
W.sP. Wiley endeavored TO pull his
horses and buggy to the side Of the
road, and in doing so the runaway
horses followed the course OF the buggy
and came on with such speed that
neither Of the gentlemen had time to
lean from the vehicle: and in less time
than it takes US to write it, the. run
awavs came on crashing against the
buggy, throwing Mr.. John Wiley head
over heels out Of the buggy, VINO
promptly regained his feet and caught
his own horses by the brides and pre-
vented them from escaping. The run
away horses were here parted, and one
went on one side Of the buggy and one
on the other in their wild career.
The buggy bel was smashed, a spin
die broke, and other injuries sustained,
but fortunately the gentlemen escaped
with but few scratches -. Norgantorn

The True Value Of q Thing,

Experience by those who have tried and
been cured by a remedy Is one OF the best
tests of its merits, and whilst we would not
wish to speak disparagingly OF other RENE
dies we would encourage all those who
may be either afflicted with recent or
chronic diseases Of the lungs or air passages
to try a bottle Of DIR. KEYsER's LUNG
CURE 1t is exceedingly valuable both on
account Of its healing virtues and
its expectorant properties, whilst it
cleans the blood, 1t heals the lungs
and strengthens the system. No remedy

More Precious Than Female
Suffrage.

The Creator has endowed women with a
most wonderful organism, but It is often
sadly impaired and wasted by peculiar ills
and wearing pains. The female sex will
ind in MISHLERS HERB BTTTERS a
rare specific and tonic for every period in
life. 1t will rescue the sex from the perils
and dangers that threaten during the most
critical periods Of their existence, carrying
them safely through every trying occasion,
curing their former weak and sickly consti-
tutions, driving away all chronic, scrofu-
lous, organic, nervous, bilious and other
disoders that have made their lives miser-
able. MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS will
cure all forms OF female difficulties from
the earliest stage of female suffering, and in
every condition of sickness peculiar TO
them. 1t will impart strength to the sys-
tenn, preserve and restore the beauty OF face
and form, and insure permanent health.

The members of the Legislature and
ali who were compelled to visit Charles
ton during the recent freeze-up, had a
fearful trip. We have heard of no
serious injury being sustained by any of
the members, except in purse, but
nearly all suffered break downs,
which bore no resemblance to the old
Virginia institution OF that name. 1t
is suggested that they write out for
preservation in the archives Of the State
Historical Society, narrative 'of most
disastrous chances, of moving accidents
by flood and field" which they en-
countered on their way to attend the
first session Of the Legislature held at
the Permanent Seat" This is about
the only way some OF the members
may ever have of getting their names
before posterity.

We have received the annual report
OF the State Vaccine Agent JOHN [.
HuPp NJ. D, 1t contains statistics OF
the distribution of vaccine virus and
observations upon the efficacy OF vac
cination as safe preventive OF small
pox. During the eight years OF his
agency, DR.. HUpP has distributed virus
to eight hundred and nineteen apph-
cants and has vaccinated 1902 persons.
The Doctor is in favor of the compul-
sorry vaccination Of the entire popula-
ton, and Of re-vaccination as often as it
may be thought necessary for complete
protection. Small pox kills one third
OF all whom it attacks, and many OF
those whose lives are saved are either
blind or deaf or permanently disfigured.
The matter distributed has been highly
approved as of superior quality and its
its total efficacy is well established.

The City Election tumble.

Certainly our citizens cannot CON-
plain of q scarcity Of candidates for
municipal office this year. We now
have Democratic ticket, People 5
ticket, Citizens ticket, and
a Citizens Convention ticket, be-
sides divers and sundry independent
candidates for several Of the offices.
From the abundance. OF material
offered, first-class set of officers can
certainly be selected. We doubt
whether many of our citizens will feel
themselves under. any obligation
to support either of the tickets,
straight through. but will con-
slider themselves at perfect liberty
to do whatever scratching and
make whatever patchwork they may
individually desire.
The concentration OF Republicans
upon any particular candidate because
he may happen to be Republican,
will certainly lead to Democratic
concentration upon his opponent.
This, as we understand, the people wish
to avoid, and so long as the. truce is ob-
served by one party it will be by the
other. Let each man vote for the can
didates he thinks best fitted for the Of
fees, and, if he can't find them all upon
one ticket, let him select from the sew
eral nominees the ones that suit him,
and vote accordingly.

The Virginia state Debt.

At a large public meeting he'd In
Lynchburg, Va. recently, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted
in regard to the payment OF the 'rg'h'a
State debt: E
wprss,s tie debt OF the State Of
VIRGINIA. due a. OF the 18th OF April,
1861 was based upon the property o.
the whole State Of Virginia, intending
slaves and whereas the State of West
virginia was created without our con-
sent, and the taxable property within
her limits withdrawn from our control
without our consent; and whereas the
taxable property of the State has been
reduced one.half by the emancipation
Of the slaves; and whereas we believe
that the people Of Virginia ought to be
and are willing to pay the last dollar
of principal and interest TO those who
were embarked with Us and have SUI
fercd with us, and believe that no man
ought to be allowed to take advantage
Of his own wrong, or be allowed without
accountability to destroy his own secur-
ity: therefore
Rssolyed, That our representatives IN
the Legislature be requested to use
their influence to procure the passage OF
bill or bills to provide for the payment
Of the full princi pal and interest on all
State bonds held by Virginians on the
lst of January, 1871. by their numbers
and amounts. And to provide for the
PAYMENT of fifty cents in the dollar OF
principal in full Of such balance OF
bonds remaining after deducting one
third the whole amount as due by West
Virginia; and that as 10 the balance
they make no provision except TO allow
the holders thereof all the right, title,
and interest Of this State as against the
State OF West Virginia
Resolrai, That the proceedings OF
this meeting be published in the Lynch
burg papers, and the people OF other
counties rec uested TO hold meetings and
give publicity to their opinions on this
subject.

A New Way to Pay Old Debts.

A correspondent OF the Parkersburg
Gazette suggests that the present State
of Virginia is not the State that Con,
tracted the debt about the payment OF
which all are 80 much concerned. He
urgues that the Virginia of ante-war
times was swallowed up by the Fed,
eral Government in 1865, and that con-
sequently the National Government
must pay the State debt, just as it paid
the debts that Texas owed at the time
of her annexation, or as we will be ex-
petted to pay the Dominican bends if
GRANTS scheme of annexation succeeds.
This would doubtless be very good
way of paying the debt, if the United
States could be induced to see it. New
York or any other State might provide
for the payment of her debt in the same
way. Nothing could be easier than to
get upa little rebellion and then be
whipped back, and reconstructed out Of
debt. The bankrupt laws won't dis
charge debtor half so quickly as this
new process would. If this plan may
be made to work successfully, the
people of Virginia and other Southern
States may exclaim with greater
fefi6f than ever before, Sweet are the
nses u adversely"

Removing Sheep PeIte,

Remove the pelt from the sheep as
soon as possible after death, as every
hour it remains on the animal damages
its leather properties Those polts sell
the best that have the feet and LEGS left
on them as high as the knee Avoid cut
ting or tearing the skin, and keep it as
free from particles Of flesh or fat as posi-
bic. Lay it upon the barn floor, and
sprinkle it literally with salt, and if the
time can be spared, rub the salt well in
with the hand. Fold the skin with the
flesh side in, and lay it away where it
will not be molestod by dogs, cats, or
smaller vermin. As the stock accumu-
lates, if the weather is not very warm,
one pelt can be laid upon the other, and
very little room will be required for their
storage. In about two weeks they will
be sufficiently seasoned, and ready to
hang up for drying. If bright, dry wea-
ther, but few days in the sun will be
required, When dry, they are ready for
shipment to market, or can be piled, or
what is better, hung in some place to
await the coming Of buyer

Plants thrive better in double flower
pots than in single ones; that is if the
pot containing the plant is placed inside
of larger one with earth between the
two The outer pot prevents the earth
from striking with too great force on the
inner one, and thus keeps the plant moist
and secures for its roots more even tenn
perature. Flower pots containing plants
may be kept in boxes, the interstices be-
tween the pots being filed with.saw dust.
This arrangement is valuable in the heat
Of summer, for the box shades the pots
from the rays OF the sun and saw dust re-
tains moisture around the plants.
