The Hazards Of Winter.

The feeble and delicate dread the winter and with
good reason. The weather at this season has de-
pressing effect upon the vital organs and the animal
spirits, and they have vitality mental anima-
ton to spare. The aged and infiem, in whom the
fame of life is waxing dim, are always unpeasantly
affected by the temperature of winter, and should
fortiy their systems against it, The extra vgor and
resistant power which the eneebled system requires
to enable it to meet with safety the assaults of cold
and damp, may soon be acquired by the regular u,s
of Hostetter's Stomach Btters. The tonic effs: OF
this wonderful medicine is soon apparent, IN an in
creased appetite, more active digestion. and a
brighter happier frame of mind. Food is the fuel
of the body, and il it is not properly dgested the
fires OF life burn low. When this is the case, the
disability can always be renejied within short
space of time, by taking fall dose Of the Bitter
twice day. The stomach will soon begin to per
form its allotted task regularly and steadily; the
food, being thoroughly assimilated, will Weld the
amount of vital heat and nourishment which tbe
body requires under the external pressure of cold
and the winter ailments which are apt to assa the
weak and untoned physique will be avoided

The Maine Jail System Behind the Times

1t IS with great pleasure that we elsewhere
lay before our readers extracts from the re
port OF Messrs. Smith, Harlow and Benson
Jail Commissioners. We believe the effect Of
this report will be more prompt and decisive
than that of any similar document ever laid
before the people OF Maine. 1t appears that
our Jail system is relatively medieval, and that
there is more propriety ia continuing to use
wooden p'ow-shares and hand looms than in
going on in the business OF encouraging crime
and manufacturing criminals as we are now
doing. 1t is not possible that half a dozen
persons who read this report can share in the
curious apprehensions of correspondent of
one OF our contemporaries, who thinks that
an attempt at reforming, civilizing and Chris
tianizinS criminals aud so relieving society in
time from their depredations and the burden
of their support, will result in the complcte
abolition of all moral distinctions! On the
other hand, it must be that an immense ma
jority of the people will regard with amaze
ment and horror the fact that they have so
long passively suffered a system to continue,
INTO lower depths of wickedness and distress
i"on anu women whom the State has allowed
70 'ecome morally disabled by neglecting
theif education, their industrial tr,inino ami
their moral culture.

FOREIGN NEws.-The election in Paris clos
on on the evening of Thursday, Feb. Sth 1t
passed off quietly except from excited dis
cussions. The tickets are SO mixed up that it
will be some days before the result can be an
nounced. 1t is known, however, that the vote
of the conservative element was surprisingly
strong. The fears of famine have been re-
moved, but the crowds which assemble around
the butcher and baker shops are as large as
ever and the bread which is distributed is
worse thar ever. Great difficulty is expe'
rienced in distributing rations to the poor
There is want of confidence in the armistice
leading to peace and many respectable people
are making strenuous texertions for leaving
Paris. The popular sentiment has been great
ly excited at the idea OF the German army en-
tering the city, but the feeling is gradually
abating. There is report that the war claim
of Germany will be modified, and semi-off
