SPECIAL NOTICES.
How Not to Die.

Thousands fall prey to disease not be-
cause the maladies that affect them are
necessarily fatal, but because they lack the
requisite amount of &C i've vitality to make
a valiant resistance to the enemy. 1t is a
wise precaution to keep the body always In
state OF defense-always prepared to
"fend of" the germs of epidemic and other
disorders, and to battle the evil influence OF
damp miasma and sudden thermometrical
changes. There is no difficulty in doing
this. 1t is fact as well authenticated as
that two and two make four, that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters Especially adapted to
this purpose, and for the simple reason that
its inyigorating and regulating properties
are superior to those Of any other medicine
,n the world. During the twenty years
that it has been In general use ample op.
portunities have been afforded to compare
its medicinal properties with those of other
preparations claiming to he of similar
class, and the result has been its adoption
by the American people as the standard
tonic Of the age, its introduction into every
civilized portion OF the western hemi-
sphere, and an annual sale which dwarfs
into insignificance the demand for all Its
would-be competitors.
The record upon which its popularity
rests is q curiosity in medical literature, for
IL includes an almost unlimtted variety OF
human ailments and disabilities. In fact,
no other remedy possesses such variety
OF hygienic virtues, and 1t Is to these char
acteristics that II owes Its prestige as q
household medicine.

We received a few days since pleas

Judge politically we cannot resist feel
ing Interested in the deep philosophy
with which he clothes his ideas. In
religion, philosophy and politics be is a
profound thinker OF the modern type,
and has obtained a wide celebrity not
ONLY as jurist but as an author. In
politics he can hardly be regarded as a
strict party man, though we believe he
usually acts with the Democracy. In
Ethics and Philosophy he is original
sometimes peculiar-frequently skirt

gathering a brighter inspiration from
the past and the future than the

TnE Intell;gsncer of last Saturday
states that its correspondent, NORTH

erence to the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad we paid some attention last
Friday morning, is not a lawyer and is
not Governor STANTON. We did not
say the article in question was written
10y Mr.. STANTON, but we frankly admit
that we thought it was, and are there
fore glad to have the impression cor
rected. The Mtslligencer might, how
ever, have impaired its information in a
somewhat more gracious manner, if it
had tried. We are not aware that the
REGISTERS advocacy Of any important
public enterprise is at all "extraor-
dinary," nor that its zeal for the inter
ests of the city can fifty be described as
frantic" We have no interest in the
proposed railroad and bridge, except in
so far as those enterprises will promote
the welfare OF the entire community.
We have no property near the line Of
the Wheeling and Lake Erie or the
Wheeling and Tuscarawas Valley rail-
road to be peculiarly benefited thereby;
and no consideration Of that kind influ-
ences us in choosing between the two
routes and deciding upon that which is
most feasible and most advantageous
