INTOXICATING NosTRUMs.-The persons
who have scruples of con science against
perpendicular drinking" at tavern
bars, can become blind drunk on almost
any of the advertised "tonics" or :" in
MIGRANTS in half an hour. There is,
however, one exception to this rule. No
body can "get over the bay" on VINE,
GAR BIrrERs, for the simple reason that
this famous renovating and regulating
medicine contains no diftusive st mu.
lants of any kind. Yet its strength.re.
serving properties are marvellous. 1t
restores the relish for food when all
other appetizers fail; imparts unwonted
vigor to the digestive functions; regu-
latas the flow of bile soothes the nerv
Gus system; promotes healthful sleep;
and tends to produce that condition of
body and brain which is supposed to be
most conducive to longevity and the
enjoyment of life. Its specific effects in
acute and chronic disorders affecting
the stomach, the bowels, the spine, the
kidneys, the fieshy fiber, the muscles
and the lungs, are considered by COM
petent Judges the most extraordinary
medical phenom ma of the age. Vine
gar Bitters has now larger sale than
any of the spurious astringents, and its
popularity in land where the
people observe closely, test thoroughly,
and act Independently, is in itself
sufficient guarantee of the excellence of
the medicine. We recommend it to

Death Of a Remarkable Printer.

Mr.. Samuel Webb, one of the oldest,
and perhaps one of the most remark.
able, printers in New York, has just
died in that city, at the age of 60. Dur
ing the last twenty five years of his life
he had worked continuously at the case
without missing day, although suffer,
ing from delicate health for several
years past. The most singular part of
Mr.. Webb's history is that, although
born on what is now West Broadway,
he was never or a ferry boat in his life,
never saw Central Park, and had not
been farther up town than Blocker
street in thirty years.

Art and politics have become singu.
larly and unpleasantly mixed in Europe,
and both in Paris and st. Petersburg
music is now judged from the political
point of view. At the last popular con.
cert of NJ Pasdeioup, in Paris, the or
chestra played Wagner's overture to
"Rienzi" as artists, and then, as French.
men, turned round and Missed it, and
fatty refused to play any more German
music, not objecting to it from an arts
tic point of view, but simply because it
is German. The public has Endorsed
the musicians and refuse to hear any
more German music, and NJ. Pasdeloup
has been obi ged to make public an.
nouncement that, for the present, all
music will be adapted to French pa
triotism.
ENGLAND has been thrown into fer.
ment by an article in the London Times
advising the Canadians, whose interests
it says were uniformly sacrificed by the
British Government in its recent Amer,
lean negotiations, to sever their connec-
ton with the mother country and begin
an independent career. This is not a
new suggestion, however novel its pres.
ent source. Years ago, when the Cana
dians forced the Home Government to
concede them the right to levy their
own taxes in their own way, even though
they there.y ran counter to Imperial
policy, limitations were freely made by
members of the British Government
that they could get their independence
by asking for it.

A Horse Doctor Poisoned by Il Clan.
d.red Animal.

A late Chambersburg (Pa) paper
says: More than a year ago DR.. r. Ii.
Parks came to this town, a hale, hearty
man, six feet in height. lie came here
for the purpose of lecturing upon "The
Horse" having a written treatise upon
the subject. He was consulted by many
persons in regard to diseases of their
horses, and from one of theie cases he
received his death. lie was called upon
by II farmer to make post mortem ex.
animation of a horse that had died of
glenders. The day was excessively
warm when the examination was had,
and it is supposed the doctor, through
the millions of pores on his body, ex.
banded from the heat, absorbed the
deadly virus nom the animal. He was
not effected Immediately, but in time
began to feel the effects of the poison
in his system, which increased to such
an extent that finally he was confined
to his bed in the Washington House
where he remained during all last win,
ter, when, in the early part of the sum
mer, he rallied enough to permit him
to walk cut occasionally.
But q change had come over the ap.
pearlnca OF .he stalwart man. lie was
skeleton, almost, dropping and sad
Again, he was taken with symptoms of
the loathsome disease, and, not wishing
to be burden, took refuge at the aims
house. Here he fingered until week
or ten days since, whel death came to
his relief. Al one time immense ulcers
appeared on different POI tions of his
body, but, strange 10 say, within short
time Of his dissolution they had healed
up outwardly. lie had the services of
three or four of our best physicians and
the attention of u number of our citi-
zens, but without all.
The most singular part of this sad
affair IS that no che in this vicinity
knows where he came from, as he Yves
not communicative upon that int.
He merely said that he had r, latives in
Kentucky, but that he did not wish TO
trouble them with the knowledge of his
misfoltunes. During the whole time of
his sutferings, wal; III are said to have
been intense, no word of complaint was
uttered he bearing all vita a forlitude
beyond expression.

J0aquin's Wife-AnOtlIer Rasping Of
the Poet OF the Sierras.

Mrs. Minnie Myrtle Miller delivered
her second lecture on "Joaquin Miller,
the poet and man." at San Francisco, q
short time ago. Her sarcastic allus ons
to her illustrious and romantic liege
were highly appreciated by her hear
ers, and so sharp and cutting was
the vein Of wit and satire running all
through it that the audience was kept
in continual smiles and good humor.
We append couple OF extract:
He (Joaquin) knew nothing about
boats or canoes, while she prided her
self on her skill in managing a conOe.
One day they started to go across the
river in a canoe to gather shells on the
opposite bank. She let the boat float
down the river, snd it finally was caught
in the ebbing tide and carried among
the breakers at the mouth of the river.
She struggled hard against it, but her
hero sat all the while trans6xed with
fear and shouting, "Pull, Minnie, pull
for Gods sake" Her struggles were
out, and were every moment in danger
of upsetting. Suddenly the poet arose
and threw off his coat, pulled eff his
boots, and was just about jumping over
board and forsaking her to her fate,
when a wave caught them and landed
them both high on the beach. She wa,
vexed and disappointed, and young
ladies who had the pleasure of reading
ten-cent novels would understand why
she was angry. She had expected her
hero to plunge into the waves and save
her from drowning, but after several
years experience with him, and es-
pecially after reading exit Carson's
Ride" and other poems of his, she had
grave doubts whether he would have
saved her or left her to take her chances.
At any rate she was reconciled now to
having been saved by the waves.
lie wanted the children to be pale
and puny, because, he said, children Of
literary parents were almost always del.
icate and pale. He was annoyed be-
cause Maud was strong and fat, and had
a perfectly healthy organization, and
often took comfort in the thought that
Brick was weak and puny. lie had an
idea that illegitimate children were
more prococious and better adapted to
literary pursuits than those born in we'd
lock, and he often said to her of their
children: III don't care for these chill
dren; they are legitimate" He was
always contemplating death, and made
his will about once month. 1t got to
be amusing to see what varied DISPOSE.
tions he male of his effects at times.
He never willed anything to her except
his love letters. He always wanted to
be burned after death. He liked nearly
everything that did not meet the APP
prevail of the world at large. Every
thing wild and romantic was his delight
lie took particular pleasure in contem
plating the lives and deeds of criminals.
Outlaws and desperadoes were his es-
pecial pets, and he was fond of every
criminal from Joaquin Murieta to Vic
toria Woodruff. The only speech he
ever made as lawyer was in defense Of
q horse thief.

IT is well-known fact in surgery, that
when air gets into the tissues in conse.
quence of a perforation of lung by q
punctured rib, it does not excite putre-
faction or suppuration, as it is apt to do
when 1t acts OF an external wound. In
letter to the London Times, Prof. Tyn,
dali has connected with this fact his in
teresting and valuable observation, by
means of beam of light, that air ex
PEELED from the lungs by forced expi-
ration contains no floating particles, and
considers that, together, these facts af-
ford a complete demonstration that
germs in the air, removable by filtration,
are the cause of putrefaction and its as
ISOLATED phenomena of animalcular life.

wish e say q iew words through

The stock 81 the West River Is now

maiea aud the towns that arc yet a it,

We understand that our directors ex.

The Stock Books for the Manchester
81 Jamaica and EattenkiA IS Pawlet
River Railroads are now open, headed
by S. NJ. Waite, Esq, President Of the
West River railroad, with $1,000 each.
The charters require stock to be taken
to the amount Of 500, 600 for the NJ 81
and 800 900 for the Battenkill 4 Paw
let River before the corporations can
organize What is now wanted, is
that the necessary amount Of stock be
secured, and the corporations organic
cd in the shortest time possible, as we
learn from good authority that it is con-
.Jdeaty relieved that responsible corpora
lions will be ready as soon as the new
line is organized, to enter into a con-
tract 60 lease the entire new line Of
road from the South line Of the State
in Vernon to the West line in Pawlet
for q term Of thirty years, at an annual
rent Of six per cent. on the entire cost
of building the road. Such a contract
we think, if made, would enable the
commissioners 70 quickly fill up the
stock to an amount sufficient to build
the road, especially if the survey about
to be made ofthe Manchester q Jamai-
ca road should show, as we hope it
may, a better grade than the present
routes across the Green Mountains,
thereby demonstrating the fact that
the New Road when built from Brat
tleboro 10 Whitehall, will furnish the
best, as well as cheapest and shortest
route from Boston to the Lakes besides
forming a very important part Of a new
through route between New York and
Montreal. Then let the Battenkill &
Pawlet River and the Manchester a.
Jamaica Roads be organized as soon as
possible, and q survey Of the route
across the mountain made, so that the
terminus Of the w. II. r. r. at Jamaica
may be established at the best point to
connect with the M. q j. Road.
