To the Editor of the Press.
Cannot something BIO done to stop the smok-
ina nuisance in the corridor of City Hall while
large audiences are passing out, to mauy of
whom especially ladies, it is decidedly objec-
tionable when pulled in their faces, as is the
case whenever there is an entertainment in the
hall.
Tuesday evening cigars were deliberately
lighted we'll back in the corridor in the midst
OF the crowd, and men were standing at the
foot OF the stairway coolly smoking and watch
ing the crowd. Last evening was no exception
to any other when the hall is in use. 1t is even
carried to the extent of smoking on the second
hoor. 1t is a growing nuisance and should be
abated by the city authorities, not only on the
ground that it is disagreeable and Objectionable
to the ladies and sothers, but also that the city
cannot afford to run the risk of fire from such
cause, especially when uninsured.

OLD BoNNETs.-Rev Mr.. Morgan delivered
his lecture on ''Old Bonnets, and they that wear
them," to fair audience at City Hall last
evening. 1t was in the main TRADE against
the tyranny of fashion. The lecturer evidently
believed in shooting folly as it flies. 1t has
been shot at ever since the wise Kings time,
but never, to our knowledge, brought down yet.
Mr.. Morgan said many true things and some
funny ones; but they have all been said much
be ter many times before. If he could only
overcome his morbid dislike to originality it
would be better for him and better for his au-
diences In speaking of those who wear old
bonnets, he made very feeling allus on to
mothers, which seemed to touch a responsive
chord in the hearts of nearly all present. The
remainder of his discourse.was rehash of the
old stock declarations against female folly
and extravaganza, to. which we have all listen
ed thousand times before

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Suggestions for Summer.

1t Is ofgrest Importance that the system
should be in a vigorous condition when the
hot weather commences. The eff-cts of a
high temperature upon an enfeebled frame
are always more or less disastrous. The loss
OF substance and the declension OF nervous
power, occa>ioned by excessive heat, can
only be compensated by the active, health
full and regular exercise of all the bodily
functions by which the waste Of nature Is
replenished and the vital energies renewed.
The great utility Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as means Of toning, invigorating
and regulating the organs Of the body, is
universally acknowledged. As a tonic II
stimulates the II rg4ing appetite and accel-
crates digestion; as corrective II neutral
ICES acidity Of the stomach and relieves
fiatulency; as an Alternative and mild ape
RENT It regulates tho liver and bowels; as
an anodyne II promotes tranquil sleep; as
a wholesome stimullnt 1t imparts 6rmness
and elasticity 10 the relaxed and trembling
nerves, and as blood depurent 1t purines
the vital stream The value of such spe-
cfic TO the weak and debilit ted Is beyond
ali estimate. To invalids wiited down by
the sullry heat of midsummer, II Is as re-
freshiny and yitalizing a the cool nlgnt
dew 10 the suu-~corcued flowers. Composed
Of vegeta ole elements only, with u basis OF
pure dIffu sive stimulant, II Is safe and pala-
tab e as well as medicinal. In fever and
agua districts, and wherever the natural
conditions are conducive to epidemic dis
ease, II Is Considered the best safeguard
against malarious Injection and the speed
lest remedy FOR intermittent and remtttent

IT is announced that Hon. j. NJ
BENNETT, of Weston, has consented to
be a candidate for State Senator from
the Ninth District, which embraces the
COUNTIES OF Lewis, Randolph, upshur
Barbour, Taylor and Tucker. We be
lieve that Lewis has never yet had q
Senator and it SCENE likely that the
nomination will be conceded to her this
summer, especially since che presents SC
competent and distinguished csndI-
date. Mr.. BENNETT will be of great
service to the people OF the State as q
member OF the Senate, and we doubt
not that the announcement Of his can

(, ApvIcEs from various points along
the line of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railroad show that there is much
activity in procuring subscriptions to
the capital stock and obtainpg grants
of the right OF way. A meeting
of local committees from eighty
miles Of the eastern end of the road was
held last Monday aud. Notwithstanding
this is q busy season of the year and
the farmers are engaged in the labors
of the harvest, a lagre attendance was
had and all seemed full Of enthusiasm
for the road. Material progress in the
preliminary work was reported. We
understand that another meeting is to
be held about the Goth OF this month at
which the fiaal location Of the eastern
eighty miles Of the line will be deter
mined upon.
