y A HANDSOME Commensurate. Jas.
E. Reeves, our efficient Health Officer,
is winning many compliments from the
medical press by his recent work on the
Health and Wealth of the City Of
Wheeling. Lippiucotts Philadelphia
Medical Times, of April 18th, says:
1t would be well for the people of
other cities if questions Of public by
giene were placed in the hands OF such
reliable and wdl.informed health Off
GERS as the gentleman who occupies
that position in. the thriving town Of
Wheeling, We do not know if politics
regulates the appointment Of these
officials in West Virginia, as it does
elsewhere, or whether, as in some Of our
large towns, the man seeks the office,
rather than the office the man; but we
do know that the health Of the people is
often shamefully neglected through
want of foresight, knowledge and
precaution Of the very. men to
whom its preservation is. intrust-
ed. Dr. Reeves devotes. in this
report, several pages to the considera-
ton Of the natural resources of West
Virginia, after which he turns his at
tention to Wheeling. n He
gives a clear and concise account Of the
sewerage, drainage, and water supply,
and strongly condemns the use of gal
vanized iron pipe for conducting water
for culinary purposes, the interior coat
ing Of which is in few hours decom-
posed, forming poisonous salts, oxide,
carbonate, and chloride of zinc. TWEEN
ty-eight pages, including sixteen illus.
trations, sectional drawings, etc, are
devoted to the advantages of the earth
closet. Gas, kerosene, slaughter houses,
manufactures, alimentation, infant
feeding, criminal abortion, hospitals,
and dozen other subjects of public
i'm portance, also receive ample justice.
In fact, there is nothing connected with
the material, social, hygienic, or sani-
tary aspects of Wheeling that is not
here presented and very ably discussed:
Let the health officers Of cities peopled
with their hundreds of thousands iml-
tate his good example )!

Many, mahy people suffer from they
know not what. They are not sick-they
are not well, There In no -name for 1t. 1t
issimply Weakness breaking down Of the
vital forces. whatey9is causes, (andthey
inmnsrablel - synptdns are in the
main the same. Among the most promi.
nent are extreme lassitude, loss Of appetite,
loss OF flesh, and great mental depression.
Indigestion and a stomach cough are also
frequently concomitants of this distressing
state OF body and OF mind. The common
remark In relation to persons In such a con-
dition Is, that they are consumptive. Now,
what these unfortunatS really want is
rigor, vital strength; and, as certainly as
dawn succeeds darkness, they can recuper-
ate their systems and regain perfect health
by resorting to Hostetter's Celebrated Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t is as clear that a life-reviv-
ing tonic is required in such cases, as that
the dying fame OF an empty lamp requires
to be revived with q new supply Of oil.
Perfectly pure and fnnocuous, containing
nothing but the most genial vegetable ex.
tracts, and combining the three grand ele-
ments Of a stomachic, an Alternative, and a
genial invigorant. Hostetter's Bitters are
suitable to all constitutions, and are as az
plicable to the diseases and disabilities OF
the feebler sex as TO those Of men.

In the Tenth New Hampshire Sena'
torial district, a Democrat was sup,
posed to have been elected, which gave
the Democrats a majority Of one in the
Senate. The telegraph, however, re,
ports the death OF Mr.. Samuel P.
Thrasher, the Democratic candidate.
The Senate will therefore stand five
Republicans and five Democrats, with
two vacancies. The seat of Mr..
Thrasher would have been contested.
Upon the result in the two districts un-
represented depends the election Of Gov.
ernor of the State.

Z The Moses family have got good

that the present State Governments OF

the big Moses of them all. He was in
the rebel army, and was the first man
who raised the rebel, flag over Fort
Sumter, but as that was long, long
time ago, and only done as an amusing
diversion, {, it. amounts to nothing, and
we will pass it by. He is loyal now,
and stands up to the great party that
resembles a revolution from the fact
that 1T never looks backward, unless
attacked in, the rear by the Ku-Klux.
Loyalty has its reward, and Moses has
his. . He isSpeaker ofthe House, and
as such receives six dollars day. Be.

him as a present, by his admiring As.
sembly. That is q good thing, and
ought to be reward enough for the
man who roised the rebel flag over
Fort Sumter, but it is not. He is Ad.
iutant General, and as such receives
another salary Of $500, with $1,000 as
a contingent fund. AS Adjutant Cen
eral he also has in his hands $2l 900 to
be used for military expenses. Then
there are $4,000 more which he con-
trolls and uses for the purchase of arms,
which the Ku-Klux appropriate, as be-
fore shown. But as Moses has an OPP
portunity of handling the money, he
does not bother his gigantic brain about
what becomes OF the arms.
/, The father of this brilliant Moses is
Chief Justice of the State, with a
salary Of $4,000, and contingent fund
of $500. 1t is a great family for con-
tingent funds. This is but another evil
dence Of its loyalty. All the ruling
loyal families are abundantly provided
with contingent funds.
The fatherin-law Of this Moses has
two offices, one of which pays him one
thousand dollars and the other fifteen
hundred dollars. His uncle is Circuit
Judge ::at thirty-fve hundred dollars a
year Then there are lot Of lesser
lights Of this ruling family, who have
little picking chances as porters, pages
and the like. Small wonder that the

fond of Scott, who holds the veto

1 We have viewed this question simply
as one Of comrlop-sense and plain
English and have not cared to resort to
any of the mysticisms or subtleties OF
the law. We have quoted no wise
saws or modern instances" but legal
decisions and the opinions OF many
prominent lawyers in this State and
elsewhere sustain the position We have
taken. In Charleston last winter, the
most eminent lawyers in the State were
consulted in reference to the matter and
sustained the ruling Of the President OF
the Senate. That an appointed Judge
has decided in violation Of a plainly en'
pressed provision OF the Constitution OF
the State, is no-new phenomenon inthe
history of West Virginia. Our people
have learned to look upon judicial deci-
sions from such sources as affording pre-
sumptive evidence OF error, and con-
frming sensible men in the opposite
view. And they need no better illus.
t,ation of how costly it is to have zig
uorance or dishonesty in high places"
than is afforded by this and other 90
called decisions; an evil they propose to
remedy by Constitutional Convention.

The Cholera in Germany.

The North German papers received
by the last steamer express serious
alarm at the rapidity with which the
cholera is spreading in the Baltic prov
inces of Russia. The Prussian Min
lister of the Interior, Count Won Eulen-
berg, pursued, during the prevalence
of the typhus epidemic in East Prus-
sia, the policy Of keeping Information
about the progress of the postilence
as much as possible fIom the public /;
and on this occasion he seems have
instructed his officers in the part of the
monarchy again to withhold the news
of the raYages of the cholera in the
rural districts from the public press
But the fact that the epidemic has sud
denly broken out at Konigsberg which
has hitherto been considered one of
the healthlest cities in Northern Ger
many, and that large number of per
sons have died there in the course of
aAfew hours, suggests that the number
of victims in the rural districts of the
province, which are insufficientiy drain
ed and among the unhealthiest in Prus-
sia, must have been alarmingly large
In Mecklenburg, and in the States
on the Lower Elbe, there is panic,
and the newspapers published in those
parts OF Germany seem to have no
doubt that the dread visitor will soon
appear there. They appeal most ear
nestly to the authorities to leave moth
ing undone in order to limit the cpl
demic as much as possible. If it is
borne in mind that the last time the
cholera prevailed in Mecklenburg there
were several towns in which half the
population was carried off by the cpl
demic, the alarm of the people in that
State will be found quite explicable--
What adds to the gravity of the situa-
ton is the fact that the number of ply
sicisns in North Germany is notorious
ly inadequate in cases of emergency,
as was proved in most painful man
ner in East Prussia during the prevail.
ence Of typhus in 1867 in Mecklem-
burg.
Even in Denmark much alarm seems
TO be felt at the breaking out of the
cholera in the Baltic seaports Of Prus-
sia. If the epidemic should reach the
island of Zealand, it would probably
break out very soon afterward in
Sweden, where it might be expected to
fall with severity upon the provinces
which are already suffering from fam

D@~ The following letter reached us toe late for publication, last week:
 NORTH CORNWALL.

The Farmers Club at MT. Nathan Hart's was fully attended, there being about forty gentlemen present and as many ladies. The committee appointed at the annual meeting of the "Housatonic Valley Milk Association" to consider and report plan for cooperation among farmers, were pres ent, by invitation. Mir. Nathan Hart open ed the discussion by alluding to the yearly increasing difficulties of successful farm ing, and of the necessity of the farmers marketing his produce for the greatest possible price, and with the least possible expense, and also of buying his articles of consumption at the lowest market value, and to obviate in some way paying so much hard earned money to middle men. He can have remedy for this in co. opera tion. Mir. Gold followed, speaking of ma ny difficulties to be overcome, and of the doubts which existed in his mind in re- gard to some of the advantages spoken of by Mr. Hart. MT. Bradley of Lee, Mass, and MT. Warner of New Milford, favored us with their views, and added very much to the interest of the evening MT. H. M. Hart said that over twenty millions of dol lars capital was invested in the several diff ferent roads in making milk to supply the demands of New York City, and that only by cooperation among all these producers of milk could many of the. existing evils and drawbacks be done away with. Other remarks of general nature followed, and although no definite plan was proposed for cooperation, the hopeful ones still think the time is near at hand when it shall have trial. ....- .... s...
