Prohibition.

The State Prohibition Convention
met at Columbus on Thursday last,
and adopted the platform of the Ma
tional Prohibition party. The second
resolution is the one upon which the
organization is based. 1t reads as
follows:
2. That the traffic in Intoxicating
beverages is a dishonor to Christian
civilization, inimicaI to the best inter
ests of society, a political wrong of
unequaled enormity, subversive to the
ordinary objects Of government, not
capable of being regulated or re
strained by any system of license
whatever, but imperatively demanding
for its suppression effective legal pro
hibition, both by State and National
legislation.
The 7th resolution reads as fol-
lows:
T. Competency, honesty, and sobri-
ETY. are indispensable qualifications
for holding public office; no removal
from public office for merely political
-reasons.
/
This resolution is good one ex-
eepting the last clause. An Office
holder under a prohibition admins
tfatien might hold and advocate polit-
icaI principles that would prohibit or
retard the execution of the avowed
principles of the party. In that case
we think removal ffom Office would
lie jnstidabIe in any party. That is
the-o1a Jacksonian policy, and it is
the policy in every party that is,
where an Office. is held by a subordi
nate who exercises his antagonistic
| political theories to defeat the prinei-
Piles and policy of the ruling political
powers of the country.
The following is the State ticket
| nominated by the Prohibitionists
For Secretary of State, Ferdinand
Schumacher, of Summit; for Supreme

= After being behind snow block
ade for five weeks, the trains have
commenced making their trips on the
Northern Pacific Railroad. This has
been an unfortunate Winter for this
railroad company, and for the passen-
gers who were compelled to suffer in
consequence of the protracted delay
of the trains. A similar occurrence
may not transpire for many years,
though we apprehend this route will
always be subject to snow blockades
to some extent during the Winter.
The midland or the South ern routes
will undoubtedly be the most reliable
during the Winter season.

: The Columbus Correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette writes under
date Of the 26th
The Hon Samuel Galloway is lying
very i'll at his residence, in c olumbus,

doubts about even a temp orary i'm
provement of his health.
Sixteen gentlemen will graduate
frem Startling Medical College this
evening.
Eleven general laws, ten local laws,
and thirty two joint resolutions, pass
ed by tue General Assembly, have

Columbus has been afflicted with a
gang of thieves during the past week,
their heaviest operation being the
theft of $500 from the safe of whole
sale grocery on Saturday. Four sus-
peeted strangers are now in prison,
but it is believed the leader of the
gang, who probably has the stolen
money, has not yet been apprehended.

About a Snake.

The Richmond correspondent Of the
Petersburg Index, tells the following
story
A gentleman, physician, resident
near the Warm Springs, but now on a
visit to this city, tells q remarkable
narrative. The doctor was recently
sent for to see lady OF his neighbor-
hood who had been bitten on the ank-
le by a rattlesnake. When he reached
the patient, he found that her friends,
adopting an old Indian remedy which
had come down .to--this generation
with the legendary lore of. the neigh
borhood, had bound the wound, al
ready much swollen and infiamed,
with. several folds of the inner lining
(fber) of the bark of the sycamore
tree. Willing to await the. result OF
this experiment, and seeing really no
chance for the application of a better
and more orthodox remedy, our dot
tor allowed the lady to keep the band
age on, and in few hours she wss
relieved from the pain and the effects
of the poison, too, as she declared. =
Then 6t was removed Tue; wound
presented "a most favorable appear
aaee, and the cure was pronounced
complete Now the most astonishing
part'femains to be told. On unfold.
ing the bandage Ihave referred to, the
exact outlines, the very photograph
yea, the perfect picture of the snake
coiled ready for spring, was found
impressed upon it. So perfect was
the likeness that if any one hae
seen the bark bandage lying open or
tie road side, he would have though
the .rattler' had coiled upon it for one
of his dreadful springs. The doctol
saw this with his own eyes. And th,
remedy has been applied TO simila
cases in that section of country witt
as happy effects. -

quire a smarter man than he of the

Democrat or a Republican.

Bronchitis,

This is an irritation or inflammation
of the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. 1t arises
from cold settled in the throat, from
Catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the
larynr and glotis, which are the organs of
the voice, and, extending downwards,
produces hoarseness, coughing, and
splitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
GUS from its tendency to spread into the
lungs, and terminate in consumption.
1t is in the cure of severe and
obstinate cases of this disease that DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
achieved unparalleled success, and won
the loudest praise from all who have
used it. 1t is sold by all respectable
Druggists. 584
