snow storm Of yesterday morning

Throw i'm Reinforcements.

The Citadel Of Life is In state OF siege all
through the year, but is never more closely
invested than in midwinter. The liver Is
usually somewhat torpid, and the bowels
more or less constipated at this season, and
dyspepsia often assumes Its most aggrava-
ted form in cold and wet weather. In short,
the sluggish system seems inclined 70 in
termit or shirk some Of its most important
duties under the influence ola low temper
ature, and requires wholesome stimulation.
The spur required is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the only medicine which quckens
the action OF the secretive organs, and
brings out the latent vitality Of the system,
without creating any febrile symptoms, or
the slightest nervous excitement.
The great Vegetable Tonic Is not recon-
mended as a specific for Coughs, Colds and
Consumption-that field being left open TO
the concoctors OF preparations which can
not by any possibility reach the lungs! but
as a specific for the constitution and physi.
cal weakne which invite pulmonary dis.
ease, It is literally infallible. The most in
siduous and terrible enemy Of human life
is not disease itself, but the weakness which
affords II an opportunity TO gain firm hold
OF the vital system. Remember that STAN
ina. Vital Energy-the Ife-principle, or
whatever you may choose 10 call the reSis-
tant.power which battles against the cause
OF disease and death, Is the grand safeguard
Of heath. II Is the garrison OF the human
fortress, and when II WAKES weak, the true
policy is TO throw in reinforcements. In
other words, when such an emergency oc-
ours, commence a course Of Hostetter's

Ia He KSAyE OR Fool ITO the

Is He KNAvR OR Fool ?-To the
courtesy of Hon. j. j. Davis we are
indebted for q copy Of the re-
port of the Commissioner Of Educa-
ton, John Eaton, Jr., made to the
Secretary Of the Interior. A hasty
glance through its pages leads us to
believe that Commissioner John Eaton,
Jr., is either q knave or a fool, and may
be both. For example, in a table giving
the State prison statistics OF the United
States, on page SAB, he says West
Virginia-no State prison." We are
of the opinion that there are somewhere
in the neighborhood of q hundred
citizens at Moundsville, arrayed in
gorgeous attire. who do not agree with
John Eaton, Jr., and who wish his
words were true. On page Is Of the
report this sapient Commissioner gives
the world this information:
"West Virginia after having strug-
gled, 30 far successfully, in the estab-
lishment of free school system, seems
now to be contemplating its destruc-
ton"
We are rather OF the opinion that the
above will be news to most Of the people
of this State. They didn't know they
contemplated its abandonment" until
informed OF it by this most wise CON-
missioner. He also locates the General
Superintendent OF Free Schools of this
State at Charlestown, instead Of Charles
ton. He gives the population OF the
State at Al, 943, and fixes the total en-.
rollment of children at 59,02S, when it
is known that there are more young
ones than that in the Eighth ward OF
this city, as the curious man can at any
time verify by taking hand organ and
monkey down there. We think John
Eaton, Jr., Commissioner OF Education,
is frst.class fraud. His report would
be an excellent article to kindle fire
with.

BorHERED.-The committee Of the
City Council having in charge the
matter OF street nomenclature have had
two or three meetings lately. The
committee can find lots OF streets and
lots of names, but the independent man.
ner in which every addition to the city
has been laid out, makes the matter OF
naming the streets running north and
south bothersome.

WE heard one chap tell another that
he would put a Mansard roof on his
head, if he didn't look sharp. Can any
one inform us what a Mansard root is ?

what a man gets for living in the
country. Don't know what Nansard
roof is? Well, well. Load yourself
and your ignorance on to the cars some
day and come up here. We think we
have some citizens here who would
take pleasure in instructing you, In
fact it would give them satisfaction TO
present you one to take home with you.
Mausard roof! Why, they'd put head
on yos, and that's what you need.

NEwspAPER THIEyRs.-If there is a
man meaner than the one who stole the
acrons from blind SOW, that man is
the newspaper thief. His little, mean,
contemplate soul is without a spark Of
manhood or principle, or he would feel
how low down in the scale OF humanity
he is. He not only robs the publishers
of the paper BY taking the news their
labor and money have gathered, but he
also deprives the honest citizen Of his
greatest pleasure. There is nothing
that go puts regular newspaper reader
out OF sorts as to miss his paper in the
morning. 1t upsets him for all day,
destroys his appetite, units him for
business, making him cross and irrit.
able, nor does he feel comfortable until
he calls at the office and vents his il
humor in taking a good square "cuss'
ing" at the first man belonging to the
establishment he meets. These news.
paper thieves are getting more and
more bold. Their depredations in
Bridgeport and on the Island have
become so frequent and so systematic
that not a morning passes that some Of
our subscribers are not robbed. We
will take especial delight in prosecuting
these newspaper thieves to the fullest
extent of the law, if some Of our unfor.
tunate subscribers will watch for and
catch them in the act. An example
must be made of some OF these scabs
on the earth's crust, and the sooner il
is done the better, and the quicker will
we get rid OF the annoyance.
