The Wood Comfy seu,iu eI-A new

The wood County Sentin ei.--A news
paper, properly conducted, is good thing, but
when its conductor uses its columns for venting
his spleen and making gratutous attacks upon
private individuals upon mere imdgmings of
what may be facts, it is calculated to do more
harm than good. Such has been and still is the
curse pursued by the Wood County ISentinel
EvERs thinks il is smart but it is simply detcsta
BILE. 1t is the effort Of a small mind to attract at
tention, but awakens only feelings of disgust.
For his attacks upon ourself, we care nothing,
as his silly vituperations are on a dead leve
with the slang of the doggeries and can with all
decent men, excite no other emotions than those
of contempt Were it not for us he would have
but little to write about, he is evidently, in
capable of producing anything save personal
abuse of his superiors. An editor sho uld be n
gentleman and not blackguard.

Massachusetts State Convention.

The Republicans of Massachusetts, met in
Convention at the city of Worcester, on the 9th
inst, and nominated w. d. WAsHBURNB, for Gov
ernor of the State by vote of 643 for WASH
DuRNB to AGA for BUTLER.
The contest has been very exciting, BUTLER
and his friends having made every exerton to
secure the nomination. The result will, no doubt
be regarded with satisfaction by every thought
ful man. BUTLER is bold, arrogant and per
fectly Inscriptions man, one who should not be
placed in any commanding position.

A couple of young girls put bullfrog into
The hired mans bed to see II they could make
him talk. Davie threw Il out Of the window and
never said single word. Soon after he put a
half bushel Of chestnut burs in the girls bed.
About the time he thought they would make the
least shadow, Davie went to tue door, and rat
tied the latch furiously. Out went the candle
andln went the girls but they did not stick
though the burs did. Calling to them he beg
ged them to be quiet, for he only wanted TO know
II they had seen anything Of that pesky bullfrog.
He'd give two dollars to find il.

Frost.

WE have learned that dew is the float
ing moisture of the air gently settling
down upon the grass and leaves of plants,
which have become colder than itself If,
now, the grass and leaves become still
colder, as they will do ON an autumn or
winter night, the tiny particles of yapor,
which in summer would make dew, are
frozen as soon as they fall, and appear on
the grass like little bristling needles of ice
This we call frost 1t does not take the
form of a smooth layer of ice all over the
blade of grass, because it is the nature of
water, when freezing, to take a regular
form, to crystalize. Whenever water
freezes, little needles of ice are first seen
to shoot out upon its surface, which make
the same angles with each other, all the
world over. So it is in our houses. The
moisture of the air in our rooms touches
the cold glass, and trying to crystalline,
makes the curious frost-work on our win
dows every cold morning in winter.
A singular appearance is sometimes no
ticed on rocks by the roadside, and on the
brick walls of houses, when in winter
there is sudden change from cold wealth
er TO warm. As the stones and bricks are
still freezing cold after the air has become
warm, they condense and freeze the mois-
ture of the air, and array themselves in
snoW-white garment of frost. Scholars in
school are often troubled on winter morn
ings by ''the frost coming out of their
slates," as they call it. The states are so
wet that the pencil marks cannot be seen.
This moisture on the slate, like the frost
on the brick wall, is caused, not by frost,
or anything else, coming out of them, but
rather by the heat of the air going into
them. This leaves the vapor in the air to
settle upon them in the shape of dew or
frost
A large collection of frost is often seen
upon the heads of nails, while no frost ap-
pears on the wood around the nails. 1t is
the nature of iron to receive heat from
any warm substance much faster than
wood does. So the air, which touches the
nail, quickly gives up its heat to the nail,
and lays down its moisture upon it to
freeze; while the wood, though equally
cold, being able to take only little heat
away from the air, remains quite free from
frost. Exchange

1t is a subject OF general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met
with so large n sale in all parts OF the Land,
in the same length of time, as has DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery This cannot de-
pend upon its having been more largely ad-
vertised than any ether medicine, as such Is
not the case. The correct explanation, we
think, is found in the fact that this medicine
produces the most wonderful and perfect
cures OF very bad eases of bronchial. throat,
and lung diseases, is undoubtedly the most
perfect and efficient remedy for all kinds OF
Coughs that has ever been introduced to the
public, and at the same time possesses the
greatest of blood purifying and strengthen
ing properties that medical science has been
able to produce, thus rendering it y SOW
ereign remedy not only in. the cure OF Con
sumption, bronchitis, Hoarseness, and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the liver
and blood, ms scrofulous diseases, skin dis
cases, blotehes, rough skin, pimples, black
spccks, and ,discolorations. II has, there
fore, a wide range of application and useful
meas, and it not only gives the most perfect
satisfaction to all who use ii, but far exceeds
the expectations of the most sanguine, thus
eliciting the loudcst praise and making per
manent iriRg advertising mediums out Of all
who use it. For these reasons il is that there
is not perhaps druggist in all the vast do
main of this continent, who tries to please
his customers and supply their wants, that
does not keep and sell large quantities OF
this most valuable medicine. so y

Shingles.

TWENTY years experience in building
has taught us that extra shaved pine
shingles, made of large timber, will out
last all other kinds, We stripped a roof
covered with this kind, and, on inquiry,
learned it had been in use forty years |;
and there were no bad leaks then. Extra
shaved cedar shingles are next best.
Shaved shingles are more durable than
those of any other manufacture. Spruce,
if the timber be large and the sap alltaken
OF, will last fifteen or twenty years; but
Der with sap on, such as are imposed upon
the market, are comparatively worthless,
especially the extras; and so are poplar,
although much depends on the condition
of the timber when it is cut. Some kinds
of ash shingles last well, but they warp

The True Grounds of Confidence.

Whence comes that firm reliance, that alb,
solute, undoubting faith in the efficacy Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as remedy for
and remittent fevers, which notoriously pre-
confidence has been growing for twenty
years, and it is still extending. 1t is not the
result of credulity; il has not been engendered
and natural consequence Of experience.
own eyes they cannot question. When fami-
wholesome vegetable tonic as preventive,
neighbors, who neglect that precaution, are
prostrated by the disease, how is it possible
that the phenomenon should be without its
lesson In like manner when it is seen that
obstinate cases of dyspepsia, of liver com
plant, of constipation, of nervous weak
ness, and of general debility, yield to the
operation of the famous remedy, how can
even incredulity itself withhold its endorse
ment Eye-witnesses of the salutary effects
of the bitters are to be found in every civil
lied settlement on this continent. The thou
sands upon thousands who owe their restora-
tion to health and strength, or their preser-
yation from sickness to its extraordinary
medicinal properties, are enthusiastic in its
praise. The multitudes who recommend it
in 4 neighborly way TO their friends and ac-
quaintances, as well as those who make pub
lie their estimate of its Virtues, are always
ready to state their reasons for the faith
that is in them. They have all either felt
or witnessed its beneflceRt operations.

A House Where Men Never Laugh.

How do you think you would like to
live, fearing every minute to be blown
up; not daring to speak loud, to jar any
thing, for fear of starting an explosion
that would send you in an instant to the
other world
You don't think it would be very pleas
ant ? Well, it isn't; yet hundreds of
men live i'll just that state, work, receive
pay, and live, year after year, in the very
sight of death, as it were ; all, that the
world may have gunpowder.
You can easily guess that those men go
about very quietly, and never laugh.
You know that gunpOwder is very dan
gerous in a gun, or near fire, but per-
haps You don't know that it is equally
dangerous all through the process of
making.
A powder-miil is a fearful place to visit,
and Strangers are very seldom allowed to
go into, one. They are built far from any
town, in the woods, and each branch of
the work is done in a separate building.
These houses are quite distance from
each other, so that if one blows up, it
won't blow up the rest. Then the lower
parts of the building are made very
strong, while the roofs, are very lightly
set on. So that if it explodes, only the
roof will suffer.
whole settlement of the powder-mills
will go off almost in an instant, and every
vestige of the work of years will be
swept away in a few seconds.
But, though you feel like holding your
breath to look at it, it is really a very in
teresting process to see. 1t is made-per-
haps you lnow-of charcoal, saltpeter
and birthstone. Each of these articles is
prepared in a house by itself; but the
house where they are mixed is the first ter
rlbie one. In this building is an immense
milestone, rolling round and round in an
iron bed In this bed, and under the
stone, areputg the three fearful ingredients
OF gunpowder. Therethey are thoroughly
mixed and ground together.
This is avery dangerous operation, be-
cause, if the stone comes in contact with
ltsaron bed, it is very apt to Strike fire,
and themerest suspicion of a spark would
setoff the whole. The materials are spread

Concerning the best pitch of roof, my
observation has been that the sleeper the

) that shingles will last much longer on
perpendicular walls than on any pitch of
roof, is evidence in favor of steep roofs.
