What Spring Brings With 1t.

REGARDED from medical standpoint,
Snri1g Is not the dclectable season de-
scribed by vernal poets. On the contrary,
IFS weld Of intermittent fevers, bilious at
tacks, rheumatic pains, disorders OF the
stomach, nervous complaints and pulmo-
nary diseases, Is almost as large as us crop
OF violets, snowdrops and cherry blossoms.
The invisible seeds OF innu neraDle niala-
dies rise with the morning mists, and are
scattered broadcast by the vapors OF night.
Who can resist their mephitic influence
Certainly not the weak by nature, or those
whose nervous energies have been over
tasked by mental or physical labor, unless
they tone and invigorate their systems, ana
TINS enable them to cope with the I'M
healthy influences by which they are sur
the only medicinal agent by which this
object can be rapidly and safely accom-,
pIished is the great vegetable renovant and
iuyiCorant, HoStetter's Stomach Filters.
The 0peration OF this celebrated specific is
four-told. II strengthens the digestive Or
cans, regulates the secretions, improves
inc condition of the blood, superinduces a
regllar habit of body, and thereby imparts
such yigOr and elasticity TO the whole
physIc3l structure rs TO render II capahle oil
resisting the action Of the poisonous mias-
ma, with which the spring atmosphere Is
ALWAYS to some extent impregnated. Here,
linen. is Il ready and certain means OF es-
Gazing the disorders prevalent at this sea-
son, or (it they have already fastened upon
the gvStrin) OF cOnGuering them speedily
and thoroughly. The flavor OF medicine
is not OF much consequence, provided II
does it's work properly, but of Hostetter's
Bittcrs il may be fairly said that they
effect cure without outraging the patients
A taste.

From the Greenbrier Independent.
Joseph Impeachcd.

An interesting case came up for trial
in the Circuit Court of Greenbrler
county, on Saturday evening last. 1t
was the case Of Joseph F. Caldwell r&.
Thomas l.. Feamster Both the plain
tiff and the defendant testified, and a
number of witnesses were scvcrally
examined, pro and con. DR.. William
2. Rucker appeared as counsel for the
plaintiff, and Capt. A. c. Snyder for the
defendant. After the evidence in chief
was finished, the defendants counsel, in
order to mend his hold and strengthen
his position, proposed to attack and
impeach the character Of j. F. Cald-
well as man not worthy OF belief on
oath TO sustain this proposition, the
following witnesses were called to the
stand, viz: Thomas Matthews, James
Withrow, ID. Q. Kelly, NJ. B. White
C. 4. Sperry, Alexander Walker and
B. F. Harlow, all of whom averrcd that,
from the general character and reputa-
ton OF Joseph F. Caldwell in the com
munity for truth and veracity, they
would not 6G!icrc linn on cath ! This
state Of the case seemed TO fustcr Joseph
no little, who got up and said that Mr..
Snyder, the defendants counsel, who
had the impertinence and imprudence
of Lucifer himself, had called up a par
Gel Of scamps to destroy his good name
and fame" Joseph then, by way OF
rebuttal, called Col, J. w. Davis, Mr..
Jesse Bright and Bolivar Wilson, E,q..
to the stand. The first two of these
gentlemen stated that they were COM
PEELED to agree with the defendants
witnesses, and Mr.. Williams was about
to proceed in the same line, when he
was admonished that he need say no
more. DR.. Rucker, plaintiff 5
counsel, then arose and stated
that il called upon to testify.
he would be compelled to coin,
eide with the witnesses, if he had to be
confined to the character of joseph, as
appreciated in this "holc" -Lew;sburg,
but that this feeling was occasioDcd 10y
political opposition TO, and prejudice
against, his client, growing out OF his
acts during and since the war. But in
regard to this, these witnesses are will
ing to further swear that such is not
the case, but that Joseph has sustained
this same unenviable reputation in this
community, in the language of Sir wills
liam Blackstone, "time whereof the
memory Of man runneth not TO the
contrary"
The case was quietly Submitted to
the jury, who rendered verdict to the
effect that Joseph had no case.
wehad dream the other night,
When everything Was still;
We thought we saw Joe Caldwell,
Go sliding down the hill.
And In the equtnimity of our temper,
and the serenity of our mind, we said
-"let him slide"

THEoDoRE TnroN, in his newspaper
called the Gol2e,, 1gs, in New York,
has found a worse thing about General
GRANT than "his chronic stupidity and
political insagaclty.' lie tells us that
1T is not the appointment Of his half
imbecile and half knavish relatives to
the offices which they disgrace"
Neither j. it his connivauce at corrnp-
ton, his patronage Of thieves, his con
slant advertising for a policy and never
adhering to it when adopted, nor to his
vulgar tastes and low associations. Mr..
rLToS thinks the country IN light toll
crate that, Lut il cannot submit TO Ibis
fearful usurpation OF power and patron
age" II i Mr.. TILToN'S opinion that
il he can carry the Convention by cash
now, he can carry the country four
wears hence 10y cannon, and he calls
upon the Republican party to throw
the usurper nom its shoulders in scorn,
and sweep his creatures from its coun-
ellis a. So much offal."

The progress OF education in Ohio is
well stated in the eighteenth annual
report Of the School Commissioner of
that State, which has ust been issued.
This official paper states there has been
an encouraging increase in the daily
attendance Of pupils, and that the vexed
question OF negro admission has been,
with few exceptions, satisfactorily dis
posed OF There are now Is, 402 colored
males, and 1881 colored females under
instruction. During the year 1871,
j39, ISL males, and SIS, 537 females took
advantage Of the public school system,
at an average cost of Sl4.37 per head.
The Commissioner refers in mourntul
vein, to the multiplicity Of applications
from young girls who are DESTROYS Of
assisting in the work Of training the
youthful mind. AS a consequence, the
salaries of those who are already in
office have been reduced from SOS TO
$50 per month; and, from present ap-
pearances, we should not be at all sur.
prised to see the amount reduced to $50.
What makes the case Of these women
particularly hard is, that during the
same time the salaries Of the male
teachers have been increased from $50
to $4l per month, although the duties
are as nearly alike as can be.

Naughty People.

Charles Hoffman, wealthy brewer
of Cincinnati, went to New York to
embark for Europe, and stayed at
Jegel's Hotel, Barclay street, On
Tuesday evening he placed $1,000 in
bonds in an inside pocket, and started
for walk up Broadway. At the
corner Of Canal street he was accosted
by courtesan and accompanied her q
block or two to her apartment on
Church street. Last evening he COM
planned TO the police that he had been
robbed Of the bonds, and procured the
arrest at a panel den of three men and
four women, two men escaping by
jumping from a rear window. The
prisoners were examined to-day in the
Tombs Court The male prisoners
are all under twenty years OF age, and
two Of the girls are delicate and petite,
and not more than sixteen years old.

-.,.II.Roap ANDTHE BRIDGE

THE RAILkOAD AMI
The feasibility Of the construction of
the railroad bridge and the certainty of
the building of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad are becoming more
and more apparent. Both enterprises
are rapidly assuming tangible shape and
are, or soon will be, within easy reach
ing distance. The views presented by
Mr.. WILSON, of New York, at the
Council Chamber last night are those Oh
a man who has devoted much attention
to the financial part Of railroad build
ing during the past twenty years lie
hos beep interested in the construction
Of numerous railway lines in Canada
and in the United States and knows al
about the negotiation Of railroad bonds
and how and where money can be
obtained for such purposes. He j.
now at the head OF the firm
that has contracted for the building Of
the Wheeling and Lake Erie road and
appreciates fully the importance OF the
bridge about which our people have
been talking during the past few
months. Each Of these enterprises is
to a great extent dependent upon the
other. The bridge, without the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie railroad, will be
sborn of half its value to the city Of
Wheeling; and the railroad, without
the bridge, will fail to accomplish the
result which the people OF this city
desire. 1t is important therefore that
some plan should be devised that will
secure the building Of both and that,
while avoiding a consolidation of the
schemes, will nevertheless connect
them in such way as to carry both
to success together.
Mr.. WILSON suggests that by adding
cay $4,000 per mile, 10 the mortgage
debt of the Wheeling and Lake Ere
company Gan addition which he is con-
fident can be easily carried) about 500
600 NAV be raised which for subscription
to the bridge company, the annual IN
terest on this sum being applied toward
the payment Of tolls for the use Of the
bridge by that railway. A subscrlp'
ton of $25O,OOO or 100000 by this
city and a further subscription Of $780,
600 by the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
road would place the bridge upon such
basis that its own bonds for the
remainder Of the construction fund
might be easily disposed OF.
1t will be necessary however for this
CITY to take 100000 worth of stock in
the Wheeling and Lake Erie road, as
has been heretofore proposed. The
total sum necessary to be raised in this
locality in order to accomplish both the
objects in view will therefore be about
100000. The interest upon bonds to
this amount, at seven per cent per an
mum, will amount to $4,000 which is
the annual charge we will have to pay
for perhaps two or three years. There
is every reasonable probability that
both investments, both the railroad and
the bridge, will pay direct profits to
those owning the stock, while the iud-
rect advantages our city will reap from
the completion Of these works OF i'm,
provement are almost incalculabIc in
their extent. We hope that the City
Council will take some action this
evening looking to the submission o.
the subject to popular vote.
