COMMUNICATION.

+ WINEsBURG, o., July 2sth, 1872.
+ EDS. REPUBLICAN: No doubt by this
time the readers of the REPUBLICAN
have come to the conclusion that youl
correspondent from Winesburg has
quit the business and "went fishing
as Horace Greeley would say, which,
nevertheless, is true, but he has re-
turned again and now expects to occu-
py his position until some impeachment
is cast in his way that will oblige him
to "hold in' again. This is world of
disappointment and we can never say
whether our calculations will be full
filled or not.
In the first place 1 must say that we
are having quite wet spell just now,
and for nearly two weeks past, which
makes it little deleterious to farmers
for harvesting, but a great help to their
corn, Many are the complaints we
hear on account of this "rainy spell''
but does this help the matter any? Let
us remember that in nature there are
no mistakes. We have always plenty
to eat and wear and what more do we
need?
| Godfred Blauser, an aged and highly
esteemed citizen of Winesburg died on
Sunday, July 23rd, of dropsy, if 1 was
rightly informed, being in his seventy
eighth year. He was buried on Tues

thrown out of the buggy, are about

The New Postal Regulations.

The following new postal regulations

scripts, proof sheets, corrected proof
sheets, (passing between author and
publisherl, flexible patterns, sample

velopes and wrappers, cards, plain and

ton thereof, on packages to one address
TO be prepaid by postage stamps affixed.

Be Prudent.

An exchange makes the following
timely hints: As the season of cholera
morbus diarrhGa, &C., is at hand, it
would be well to remember that chief
among the causes Of cholera infantum
are high and sustained atmospheric
heat and defective ventilation so that
the little sufferers are breathing not
only heated but an impure air which
exerts poisonous operation on the Or
ganization, and most of the nervous
and digestive systems. The next excl
ting cause of the disease in question is
indigestible food, which the stomach is
unable to reduce to a homogeneous
whole, out of which chyle and blood
are formed, but, instead, disturbs the
stomach, causes sickness and vomiting,
or, if it passes into the bowels, gives
rise to diarrhea.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1872-08-01

Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be so is the question? Many a
good gin and boy feel that they can't
behave themselves in the presence of
company. They feel timid, bashful and
self-distrustful the moment they are ad-
dressed by a stranger or appear in
company, There is but one way to get
over this feeling, and acquire easy and
graceful manners; that is, to do the
best they can all the time at home, as
well as abroad. Good manners are not
learned by arbitrary teaching so much
as acquired by habit. They grow upon
us by use. We must be courteous,
agreeable, civil, kind, gentlemanly and
womanly at home, and then it will be-
come kind of second nature to be so
everywhere. A course, rough manner
at home begets a habit of roughness
which we cannot lay off if we try when
we go among strangers. The most
agreeable people we have ever known
in company are those who are perfectly
agreeable at home. Home is the school
for all good things, especially for good
manners.

The Oscillation of Mr.. Greeley The
Fate Of His Picture. y

The Schoharie Union gives the
following paragraph: i IN
"For thirty years the portrait of
Horace Greeley has adorned the
Union office. When he advocated
secession in 1860 the picture was
turned with the face. to the wall.
As soon as Horace saw the error OF
his way the picture was reversed,
and once more the smiling counte-
nance of Greeley Illuminated our
office. In 1864 when he threatened
to bolt the nomination of Abraham
Lincoln the picture was again re-
versed. Once more he repented and
the picture was reversed. When he
signed JEFF. Davis bail bond we
turned him again TO the wall for
three months, and again he took up
the defense of Tammany Hall.
We've tried him long enough. He
is the greatest political acrobat of
modern times, and now, that he has
gone over to the camp of the De
mocracy we don't propose to take
the chance of placing his portrait
to the right about dozen times in
the future rs we have in the past.
This time we take the portrait down.

Dangers Of Bathing.

Our annual warning to those who are
in the habit of bathing is now in order
We learn of several deaths of persons
who carelessly plunged into the water
while in a reeking perspiration and tor
rid heat. There is nothing more dan
gerous than this during the heated term
but little care and judgment will pre-
vent bad results. The body should be
allowed to cool in some measure before
bathing, and the stay in the water should
not be prolonged beyond reasonable
time. This warning is repeated every
summer, but many are unmindful of it,
and very serious results and often death
ensIes.

The New Postal Cards.

The Post Cfflce Department, IN ans
wer to many inquiries relating to the
new postal card system, states that a
printed business card will be charged
one cent for transmission, provided il
has an address only written upon it;
for more than that the regular letter
postage will be charged. A person can
not make postal cards for himself by at
taching one cent stamp to blank
card, and then writing on it. No card
will be recognized but the one issued by
the Department. The card will be ready
for sale and distribution by postmasters
some time in September. =

No kind of food is so wholesome at
this season Of the year as fruits. Not
only are they pleasant, but are abso-
lutely necessary to supply certain wants
and wastes Of the system, and should
therefore be eaten freely at proper times
by all classes. But it must be remem-
bered that fruit must be ripe when eat
en-. While ripe fruit is healthy and nu-
tritious, unripe fruit is the very worst
thing that can be used for food. A sin
