How Not TO Die.-Thousands fall n prey
to disease not because the maladies that affect
them are necessarily fatal, but because they
lack the requisite amount Of active vitality to
make valiant resistance to the enemy. IL
a wise preeautiOn 10 keep the body always in a
state Of defense-always prepared 70 .fend
of 3" the germs Of epidemic and other disor-
ders, 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 HOstetter's Stomach Bitters is
specially adapted to this purpose, and for the
simple reason that its inyigorating and regu-
lating properties are superior to those Of any
other medicine in the world. During the
twenty years that Il has been in general use,
ample opportunities have been afforded to
compare IL medicinal properties with those Of
other preparations claiming TO be Of a 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 hemisphere, and an
annual sale which dwarfs into insignifcanee
the demand for all its would-be competitors.
The record upon which its popularity rests is a
curiosity in medical literature, for it includes
an almost unlimited variety Of human all
ments and disabilities. In fact, no other
remedy possesses such variety Of hygienic
virtues. aud It is 10 these charaeteristies that
Il owes its prestige as 4 household medicine.

the Highland and Middlesex companies both
propose to run in this avenue the residents
there are likely to get pretty well accommodated.
The senate was in session half an hour or so.
A motion was made to reconsider the engross-

pos C of getting in an amendment, but it failed
by a vote of to IA. The joy of the Highlands
people at their success is almost unbounded.
The bill to change the method of voting in
mutual insurance companies was ordered TO a
third reading, and the bills TO provide for the
appointment of inspectors of provisions in cities
and towns, and for the prevention of fires in
cities and towns were passed to be engrossed.
The bill to incorporate the society for the pro-
motion of collegiate and theological education
was engroSSed amended so as to limit to $780,

The self-styled "liberal" or reform republi-
cans" attack the present administration for
what they pronounce its short comings in the
matters of amnesty and civil service reform.
Revenue reform was one of the pianks in the
platform first constructed for them in Missouri,
but, as it seemed impossible to deeoy Mr.. Greeley
10 set foot on it, and as his presence and aid
were necessary, that plank has been taken out
or covered up, somewhat to the dissatisfaction
of the Originators Of the movement. Its real
purpose, however, is to defeat Grant, and every
thing must be snbordinated 10 that Amnesty and
civil service reform are good party cries, and in
adopting them the liberals" would serve their
purpose very well, if they could at the same time
persuade the people that the present administra-
ton was hostile TO both or either of these
measures. Both have been before congress
this winter, and both have been defeated
or obstructed by congress, but not BY the in
nuence OF with the approval Of the administra-
ton. Amnesty failed in the senate: il is said
with apparent truth, because Mr.. Sumner per.
