A PeriIOus Season.

Glorious and delightful as the Summer
weather is, its tropical heat is a severe trial
to the vital powers Even the strongest are
sometimes Frustrated by its effects. The
common phrase applied TO this condition
of the body is general debility" Now,
general debility arises from, and includes a
variety of ailments. The liver is more or
less afiecte d, the bowels are either conStipa-
ted or too much relaxed, the stomach but
half performs the work of digestion, The
appetite is poor, and the spirits depressed.
This is what is called general debility 1t IS
a general diSarrangement Ofall the physical
functions, and requires as Il remedy Il med
icine that will regulate them all. Hostel
ter'S Stomach BitterS is specially adapted to
this purpose. Its general operation il not
confined TO Il single organ. If the liver is
affected, il restores its tone. If the stomach
is torpid, il reGenerateS II. 1.-THE nerves are
tremulous and weak, II braces and REIN
forces them. If the mind, which ever SYM
pathizcs with the BODY, IS gloomy ana de-
Spondent, it relieves the difficulty, and soon
brings the whole mechanism of the body
into harmony with the laws of health.
There is no civilized nation in the West
ern Hemisphere i'll which the utility of
HoStettcr'S Stomach BitterS as a tonic, cor
receive and anti-b!liOuS medicine, Is not
known and appreciated. Throughout the
Tropics ii is considered, both by the people
and the profession, the standard specific.
While IL is a medicine for all seasons and all
climates, ii is especially suited to the COM
plants generated by the weather, being the
purest and best vegetable Stinlulant in the
world.
Beware of the Bitters made of acrid and
dangerous materials, which INSCRIPTIONS
parties are endeavoring to loiSt upon the
people. Their name is legion, and the pub
lie has no guarantee that they are not poi
sonous. Adhere To the tried remedy, Hos

OBITUARY.

f. w. STEPHENS, EsQ.-We clip from
the Pittsburgh Gazette OF last Thursday
the following sketch of the life Of the
late E. w. STEPHENS, Esq.
We are panied to be called upon to
announce the death OF a very worthy
and respected friend, Mr.. f. w. Ste
phens, formerly and for a very long
time, a resident of this place. which
took place at New Albany, Indiana, on
the 9th inst. We are indebted to a
friend for the following notice of Mr..
Stephens, which will be Of interest to
many Of our readers
&c. w. Stephens was born in Fayette
county, Pennsylvania, on November 10,
1905. He came to Pittsburgh in 1925,
and was employed at the iron works Of
Messrs. Shoenberger till 1885, when he
went into partnership with Messrs. Bis
sell & Semple, and continued the man
ufacture OF iron in connection with them
till 1914, when he removed to Wheel
ing and en- gagged in the same business
there till l84S, at the Anchor Mill.
During this period he built the Virginia
mill at Wheeling, where the Baltimore
Vmrv raIIrUau uepot NJ"
stands. Meeting with reverses
in business, he removed in
1860 to St, Louis, where he built,the
Laclede Mill for Choteau, Harrison &
Vale. In 1852 he returned to Wheel
ing and built the Crescent Rail Mill.
In 1856 he removed to Covington, Ky.
and remodeled and operated till 1859 the
Covington Rail Mill, when he returned to
Wheeling and operated the Crescent

1870, he removed to st. Louis, where
he built,' in conjunction with his son,
w. A. Stephens, the Vulcan Iron
Works While at the latter place he
was stricken with paralysis on January
10th, 1871, since which time his health
gradually failed until his death at New
Albany on the Oath inst.
During Mr.. Stephens long expert

many valuable Improvements in it's
manufacture, which are now in general
use.

BETHANY COLLEGE.

We invite the attention OF our read
ers TO the advertisement Of the Thirty
frat session OF this famous Institution
of learning, which appears in this day S
issue of our paper. 1t is the impression
of many that Bethany Colleges simply
Theological School. This is mis-
take which may, perhaps, prevent some
from seeking its very superior library
and scientific advantages, and we take
pleasure in correcting it. An examina-
ton of the advertisement and still fur
Their, of its Catalogue. will satisfy any
one, that, in Bethany College, we have,
here in our midst, an Institution which
deserves to rank among the very first in
our land. For the magnifcence OF its
buildings, the liberality of its endow-
ment, the extent and thoroughness OF its
courses Of instruction. the completeness
of its apparatus and museums, the abil
ity and experience of its Faculty, and
all that goes to make up good College
Bethany is, beyond doubt, without a
superior in this portion Of the Union
Our young men, before mourning The
expense of more distant institutions
will do well to write for a Catalogue
and consider the superior claims o
Bethany College, which is so convenient
Of access, and where, by reason of hel
large endowment, the expenses are re
duced to the rate of common Academies
Bethany College has the advantage of {
wide reputation in the West. Hel
Alumni already number over fou
hundred, and their reputation for schol
arship and high character as gentle
men, is exciting general demand 10
their services in the varied fields Of lit
erary and scientific pursuit. 1t is n
small advantage to graduate in an lr
stitution where the simple recommer
dation of the Faculty is an introductio
, to useful work and fine salary.

DrR1NG The nast two or three week!

DURING the past two or three weeks
there has been a party OF Pittsburgh
capitalists prospecting in this section of
the State, particularly in Writ and Cal
houn counties, for timber lands, with a
view of making extensive purchases.
They report that the timber regions
along the Allegheny are rapidly becom-
ing exhausted; and that the demand for
boat timber in the Pittsburgh market is
increasing so rapidly that the attention
OF capitalists is now beidg attracted to
the superiority of the timber production
of West Virginia. In their opinion, it
will be but few years before the entire
timber markets OF Pittsburgh, Cincin-
natl and Baltimore will depend upon
West Virginia for supplies-'Stete Jour-

CONSTITUTIONAL MATHEMATICS

The eminent mathematician of the
I"telhgenccr office has apportioned the
= Delegates in the Legislature among the
, several counties of the State in very
elaborate manner He has demon
strated extensively his capacity in
that line and may fairly be regarded
as an eligible partner for Mr.. STEVEN
SON in the estimate business. TO be
sure, he has not solved the problem
presented in the Constitution of the
State nor accomplished what we said
he could not do, but he has done what
any schoolboy of ordinary capacity
could have done and for this we give
him the full credit to which the achieve
ment is entitled. The problem was to
give separate representative to each
county that has more than half Of the
requisite ratio, as the Mtellgcnccr has
insisted upon in the cases OF Hancock
and Brooke, but this it has signally
failed to accomplish. Our friend has
scattered the Delegates about with a
perfect looseness," and compels four or
i've counties, each having more than
half the requisite population, to share
with others the services Of single rep
resentative while other counties of less
population are given Delegates Of their
own. For instance, Morgan county, with
population of 4l99, is assigned repre-.
sentative (Which is all correct according
to the Oue-half rule) while Randolph
county, with population OF $50, is
placed IN district with Tucker and
gwen representative only three-fourths
OF the time. 1t will not DO to say that
this arrangement must be pernetuated
because 1t has heretofore existed under
the Constitution. 1t is to remedy in
CAPABILITIES Of this kind that n new an
portionment is TO be made, and the "a *
to which the LntsNgencer was invited
was to find the remedy. Now, if each
county having more than half the ratio
is entitled TO one Delegate as has been
insisted upon in the cases of Hancock
and Brooke, why may not Randolph
insist upon having representative
OF her own in every Legislature?
She has larger population than either
Of nine other counties to whom the Intel
6geneerS apportionment assigns repre-
sentative. ....r.E
There are other instances equally
giarlng' but this will serve to illustrate
the failure Of the distinguished arithme-
nclan to solve the only problem that

Highway Robbery.

On Friday last, as peddler, name
unknown, was passing along the road
leading from the Morgantown pike tc
Masontown, Preston county, in Union
township, two men sprang from the
thicket, stopped him and demanded his
money. He refused, when one of them
struck at him with knife, inflictiug a
slight wound, when he delivered up his
money and property. They were in
formed on by a man whom they tried
to entice into the robbery, whom they
told afterward what they had done, and
to whom, as convincing proof, they had
shown the money and property. A
party was at once organized for their
arrest, and one of them was captured
a short time afterward, the other max
ing his escape in the dense underwood

rRECoDE AND tn Z CONVENTION

The Parkersburg State Journal is de
termined that the cost Of Constittion
al Convention shall come up to Cover
nor STEVENSON famous estimate (the
estimate made last winter for the Con-
yention he don't want, not that of
1861, and will not be quite happy un-
less the expense Of remOdelling the
Constitution amounts to fully Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars. He in
sists that we have admitted the cost OF
a new Code as part o. the expenses Of a
Convention, in the face of the fact that
the very paragraph which contains
this pretended admission is intended to
show and does show that the cost. OF
the Code has nothing to do with the
Convention whatever. We believe that
a new Code will have to be made before
many years whether a Convention is
held or not. Much of the Legislation
Incorporated in the present Code has
already been repealed, and it is highly
probable that more will be.
The men who nave been engaged in
preparing this volume are not re-
sponsible for its provisions. They
had TO take the several Acts of the
Legislature concerning the various
subjects treated of and condense them
into Ineligible shape. But the idea
which seems to be entertained by some
of tho RoI:o-i r-r~.~ .,rav uVIu VI
objection to the provisions Of the Code
is an assault upon Mr. LAME or upon
Judge FERGUSON, who were employed to
make the compilation, is the veriest
nonsense that can be imagined. Meth
er of these gentlemen approve all the
laws in the Code or have any respect
for the wisdom Of many OF its provis
ions. The Legislature will wipe out
number OF these laws and supply their
places with better ones as rapidly as
possible, and before very long the
present Code will be so completely rid
died as to be ofvery little practical use
in the Courts or for the information Of
the people, even without holding any
Convention or making any important
changes in the Constitution OF the
State.
