WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
I'm. s,enn Roing Taken Co Re-Estab-
Inv Pssh rhe stnndards.

The Nashville Banner furnishes the
following information on this important
subject: 4.l
As letters are being constantly re-
ceiyed at the executive Office relative 10
the standards Of weights and measures,
we have obtained from official sources
the following information on that impor-
tant subject;
The standards Of weight and measures
belonging to the State, and furnished
from the treasury department oil the
United States were, during the war, very
much abused and seriously injured.
since the war no effort seems to have
been made to repair and rent them ior
use, although the statutes providing Tor
the appointment of superintendent re-
main In force, and the compensation al
lowed by law to that Office has been reg
nlarlv drawn from the State treasury.
The room set apart for their preserve
t;on was. by resolution Of the General
4 ssembly, given up for the use OF the
COMPTROLLER, and was absolutely neces-
sary' and very conveniently located for
his purposes. ~
The standards were set aside in the
record rooms, attached to the Governors
Office, and have remained there until
Governor Brown assumed the daties OF
his Office. Under his direction and the
superintendence Of his private secretary,
Mr.. John S. Wilkes, the standards are
being rapidly repaired and put in order.
Mr.. Wilkes has requested the score
tarv of the treasury at Washington to
furnish such of the weights and meas
ures as have been lost or destroyed dur
ing the war, and also to furnish a COM
nleta set of standards of the metric sys.
tenn as provided by the resolution passed
bv congress July n, 1866, and the secre-
tary having sigpi6ed his intention to
comply With the request, the governor
has issued his formal requisition accord
ingly.
Major Glover, superintendent of the
capitol, is having fitted up tor the recep-
ton of the instruments and apparatus
one of the inner halls of the capitol
building, and the standards will soon be
again in the admirable condition IN
which they were kept by Mr.. Herriges,
superintendent before the war.
The act of the general assembly es,,
tablishing the system Of weights and
measures, and providing for the appoint
ment of a superintendent, directs that
each county in the State be furnished
with set or copy of the standards.
Previous to the war about eighty-hye
of these sets were completed and half
that number were distributed; of the re-
mainder great portion were lost during
the war, and some are still on hand in
damaged condition. Until the legisla-
ture shall make some appropriation for
that purpose, it will, perhaps, be impos-
sible to furnish the standards except IN
such cases as the counties applying may
be willing to incur the expense, and
when standards have been heretofore
furnished and lost, it would seem to be
proper that they should be reftted and
supplied at the expense of the county,
and for the present, this plan, as mat,
ter of necessity, will probably be adopted
in all applications for standards for
counties

SPECIAL NOTICES.

All the Year Round, and in all parts Of
the world, the elements Of disease are present
in the air, the soil and the water, in greater
or less degree. and therefore the Great Ve0etd-
bic Antidote to these invisible enemies Of
health. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. is in
valuable as household medicines at all sea-
sons and in every latitude. At no period Of
the year is a regulating and corrective medi-
cine more needed than toward the close Of
winter, when the sun and rain are beginning
TO break up the winter blockade. and from the
softening soil arises that terrible mfasma,
which weighs like an incubus upon the vital
machinery. and depresses the animal spirits.
1t is then that the seeds Of intermittent and
remittent fevers. of rheumatism and rheu-
matte govt, Of obstinate stomach complaints,
Of disorders of the liver and bowels. and a
whole host Of pulmonary and nervous com
plants are sown. The best. the surest way to
prevent this disastrous seeding is to invigorate
and refresh the system with course Of the
Bitters. II this precaution be taken no'c.
there will be no danger Of the miasmatic
germs taking root in the fluids and tissues Of
the body. and bringing forth terrible fruit in
the spring. Now is the time for prevention.
Remember that vigor is the only safeguard
against the virus of disease. and that Hostel
ter's Bitters is the purest. the safest. the most
powerful and perfect inyigorant ever admin
istered, either as protective medicine or a
remedy. A change of season APPROACHES
which almest always proves more or less dis
astrous to persons of weak. nervous organi'
ration. Brace up at once with the leading
