A RUNoR.-Thc Staunton Spectator

says:
"It is rumored with what truth we
cannot say that Gen. Malone. finding
himself fanked by Mr.. Scott, has entered
into some friendly arrangement with that
gentleman. by which Mr.. Scott has &C.
quircd commanding interest of the
Lynchourg and Tennessee Road. If
such be the fact, we think it more than
probable that before long the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad, which is said to
be under contract from the Potomac to
Front Royal, will be EXTENDED up the
Valley to Salem thereby giving the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad an uubroken
line of Railway from Philadelphia to
Memphis, and leaving B,ltimore out in

SmalI.Pox as a Financial Agent.

A new way to collect old debts was
illustrated the other day by a health
officer not a thousand miles from Co
hoes. Delinquent debtor was button
holed by health officer and treated to 4
condensed statement of the public
health, particular stress being placed on
the prevalence of smallpox and pass
ing mention made of particular case
which health officer had just left.
Debtor began to get uneasy and remem-
bered an engagement. Health officer
mentioned his t'little BILL" at the same
time mentioning that he was often
obliged to purchase medicine, &C., for
the smallpox patients under his charge,
and ready money was very much
needed. Debtor hastily pulled out his
wallet, passed bank note to the officer,
and exclaiming, 81 must go, never mind
the change now, Doctor; I'll see you
some other time," left the doctor per-
fectly satisfied with his experiment.

Wild Tea.

The Pittsburgh Gazette says: "Most
of our exchanges are publishing letters
from obscure individuals regarding a
newly discovered cure for cancerin what
is called "wild tea," such letters emana-
ting from parties in this city. We un-
hesitatingly pronounce "wild tea" a
fraud and are sorry that so many hui
name editors are being victirhized by
giving place to the certificates of the
mountebanks who are engaged in swind-
ling cancer afflicted people by selling
clorer as the ".wild tea" which they ad-
vertise possessed with such wonderful
curative qualities, at heavier prices than
quinine brings. The men who would
resort to such means to make money
out of the misery of their fellow beings,
and drag the press into helping on their
villainy, should not be out of the peni-
tentiary.

Stamp Duty on Checks,

Merchants, banks, bankers and all
other persons should not forget that
there is a stamp duty on checks fol-
neglect or violation of which there is a
severe penalty. Matters of this kind
being somewhat troublesome are over
looked and neglected, and as areminder
we quote from the latest stamp sched-
ule the following:
Bank check, draft, or order for any
sum of money drawn upon any bank,
banker, or trust company, at sight or
on demand, two cent stamp. When
drawn upon any other person or per-
sons, companies or corporations, for
any sum exceeding ten dollars, at sight
or on demand, two cent stamp.

many years prominent and esteemed
resident of this city, was buried from
the residence of his son, in Ironton, o.,

Congress from the Wayne and Stark

in the 1lth Common Pleas District un-

Beahty's Decay.

o, why doth beauty die away,
Like on an eve the light:
Why is it subject to decay,
Why doth it fade from sight.
l. II because we are not worth
That we should dwell with such:
Is il because child Of earth
Would taint them by its touch:
When our ewes with rapture behold
The brilliant scene on high,
When the clouds fieecy robes unfold,
With gold to deck the sky;
And when our hands we would extend,
Clasp that scene to our heart,
'Iis more than We can comprehend
That then it doth depart.
When We feast on the beauties 'round
In festive robes are clad.
Ears drink the melody Of sound,
And hearts are free and glad;
Why is it that blight doth fall
Like frost on winters night?
And sorrow shroudeth like pail
The image Of the bright!
Why is the one, whom we adore,
In whose eyes loves light burns,
That one borne to the unknown shore,
From whence no one returnsi
And we are left deserted here
To pine in woe and pain,
To live thus on, from year to year,
10 drag life's heightened chain.
Earthly vision doth dimly see,-
Cannot these things unfold;
All is not as it seems to be,
We cannot all behold.
o, look beyond the heeting cloud
Beyond the unknown shore,
And look beyond the festive crowd,
Beyond is something more.
There is glory yet to be,
A land where all is bright,
Where the beautiful doth not fee,
Doth not fade from thy sight.
Earth's beauties do but family show
The beauties of above.
We could not prize them, here below,
With hearts so poor in love-
Then all that here to ms seemed dark.
shall there be clear as day;
Our eyes no more with fear shall mark
The footsteps of decay.
Here friends are often torn apart,
When fierce the heart rebels;
But they are bound, heart to heart,
Above where beauty dwells.

EDS. REPUBLICAN,: Thinking that q
few words from this sec ton of the coun-

ers, l have concluded to open cores
pondence with the REPUBLICAN, assum-
ing the name of 'Paint," if being the
name of this township.
We have pleasant winter weather al
present. There is some snow on the
ground, but not enough to make good
sleighing, nevertheless every one seems
anxious that good use should be made
of the little that we have; and thus
far all have been lucky enough to keep
OH the track, with the exception OF
Francis Cooper, one of our "fast dri-
wing" young gcountrymen, who happened
to empty the contents of his sleigh into
the snow, while returning home from
church on Sabbath evening. Happily
no harm was done.
A ''Peter Funk" traveller made his ap-
pearance in our midst during the past
week, but believe he has not been very
successful in taking people in"
The game is getting to be too old to
stake WE'LL" especially the manner in
which he tried to carry it out. He tried
to 'hoodwink' people by saying that he
had taken some cattle east, and after
disposing of them he was robbed, and
now had to depend upon generous
public TO assist him home. He wished
to borrow $40 which he said would be
sufficient to take him home, and he
would then Immediately return sl5.
The S. to be reward for the favor done.
But there was no 60 here.
Mr.. Christian Smith, an old and high
ly respected citizen of Winesburg, died
at his residence on Sunday afternoon.
His disease was dropsy with which he
fingered for long time. He was buried
on Tuesday forenoon, of last week, and
followed to the grave by large con-
course of citizens.
The Methodists are holding protracted
meeting at present, at the point known
as 'Hauns Church, near Middletown.
The attendance is unusually good.
Our schools are passing off more than
ordinarily quiet this winter, with the
exception Of an affray which took place
not long since in one of the districts,
which came near resulting seriously.
One of the boys had a small shooting
iron and was showing some of his
school fellows how to use it when it ac-
cidentally discharged, and came near
hitting one Of the bystanders.
A singular incident took place not
long since in the eastern part of this
county, which is related as follows.
Two sons and daughter after being
from home for quite while, and at diff
ferent places, happened to write so near
at one time, that the anxious father and
mother received word from all their
children on the same day.
There is of hate no excitement in re-
gard to railroad matters, as has been
customary for the three last winters.
Wishing you and your paper what !
would wish myself, success"
Yours respectfully,

Frozen Plants.

Let them remain where they were
frozen; close the window shutters or
drop the curtains, so as to make the
room quite dark; then sprinkle the
plants with cold water direct from the
cistern, and wait the result. Do not al
low the room to become warmer than
forty-seven degrees for twenty-four
hours. If few drops of spirits Of
camphor are thrown into the dish Of
water before sprinkling, it will be all
the better. Plants treated in this way
though froze so badly that the water
will freeze on when sprinkled, yet by
keeping the room dark and cool for an
entire day, they will come out un-
harmed, y

The Fashion.

Eyes continue to be worn on each
side of the nose and Immediately under
the brows. Black, blue and gray, are
still worn in the home circle, and are
found very becoming in the nursery, at
the family tea-table, and social evening
gathering. Noses maintain their posi-
tion on the center of the face. The
Grecian or aquiline are preferred; but
snubs have held their places, in defiance
of most determined opposition, and
at present are looking up. Lips are
midway between the nose and point OF
the chin, and are pale pink. The coral
variety is no longer tolerated, except in
girls not yet come out. Teeth will be
somewhat larger, and of blueish tint
to correspond with the complexion
which must be dead white and magent;
red. Ears are worn, one OH each side
of the head, with the hair all carried
up, SO as to give them peculiar appear
ance of alertness,

Living on q Small IncOme...DOn't be
Afraid to Marry.
A correspondent writes the

A correspondent writes the following
to the New York Tribune:
Six years ago married i'm Europe.
then possessed two suits of clothes, val
ned at 10 pounds $50 and pounds in
cash. My wife's fortune consisted in
robust health and 10 pounds of money.
We lived in cottage rented at pounds
per year, and by industry and frugality
saved sufficient in one year to defray
our passage to this city, where entered
counting-house at salary of $3.50 per
year. My second years income was
500, my third $4,000, and quite recent
ly my employer raised my salary to
81 200. We have now in bank 81 300.
During this time we have rarely visited
the opera or theatre, but contented our
selves at home, which consists of three
snug rooms in house in the suburbs of
Brooklyn, at a rate of $l2 per month,
and find we are just as comfortable
there as if we dwelt in brown stone
front. In 1866 1 was worth $3.50, 200
cash, but an unfortunate speculation in
ship property ruined me. | now am
commencing life again, and with Gods
help and my wife's, expect to reach
my former worldly prosperity. Young
men, don't be ashamed of poverty! DO
not let it prevent you marrying.
