Warning Words.

The strength and nervous energy of the
human body ought to be increased during
the winter, for two reasons: In the first
place, diseases Of the most deadly character
may be generated at this season; and Sec
ondly, 1t is of the utmost importance that
during the cold weather months the system
should he put in condition to Withstand
the effects of the spring miasma, and the
subsequent depressing heat Of summer. 1t
Is, therefore, advisable, in fact essential, to
tone, regulate and invigorate the digestive
and secretive organs at this period Of the
wear, and of all the stomachics and altera-
lives at present known, Hostetter's stomach
Bitters Is the most powerful, the most harm
less, and the most agreeable. The tempera-
ture Of winter would be in itself glorious
tonic II it did not unfortunately, bring with
II volume OF chilling moisture and I'M
wholesome winds, which have bad effect
on the skin and lungs. These must be guard
ed against, or there Is no security for health
The effect Of course OF the Bitters is to give
vigor and tone to the entire organization.
the superficial muscles and nerves, as well
rs the internal viscera. A regular habit OF
body IA healthy and natural flow OF bile, an
active digestion, a good appetite, pure blood,
and n vigorous circulation OF that fluid, are
among the blessings derivable from persist
emit use OF Hostetter s Stomach bitters which
not only more than supplies the place
OF the best tonics, cathartics and antiseptics
prescribed in their separate forms by physi-
clans, but perform the threshold work Of
IMMIGRATION, regulation and puri1cation,
at one and the same time.

The Charleston Journal has persuaded
itself that any action looking to re-
moval of the Capital will be "revolu-
tionary"--a terrible woodland that
the friends of Oh arleston should at
once secede, hold o Convention Of their
own and resolutely declare that no
power on earth ever can or shall dis
possess Charleston as "the permanent
seat" Now, talk OF that sort is very
imprudent, to say the least, and surely
no true friend of Charleston will in-
dulge in threats OF that kind. We are
quite sure that the Journal does not
represent the sentiment OF those who
prefer Charleston as the seat Of govern
meut, and that its advice will have
but little weight. Charleston's safety
consists largely in the division and dis
cord of its opponents, and anything
tending to exasperate will also tend to
unite then. The Journal would better
take things as they come, and make the
best of the exigencies Of the hour than
to expose beforehand SO unwise and
Objectionable a plan of operations.

LEGISLATIVE READING RooMs.-A
movement is on foot to fit up the rooms
formerly occupied by the West Virginia
Courier, as reading rooms for the free
use of the members of the Convention
and Legislature. Liberal subscriptions
for the purpose are being made. 1t is
designed to re-paper these rooms
furnish them neatly and comfortably
and supply them with newspapers
periodicals, writing materials and
everything needed to make them
convenient for the members to pass
their leisure hours in reading, converse
ton or correspondence.-CharIestOn

SINGULAR DEMONSTRATING the
late "spell' of sleighing Mr.. John
Henry, who lives three miles from this
place, was on his way from Easton, in a
sleigh to which was hitched very
spirited horse. A dog suddenly sprang
from the road side and the horse took
fright. He jumped and broke the
shafts with the jerk, which pulled the
sleigh forward and the horses hind feet
descending lit in the front part Of the
vehicle. The result Of this was to
throw the hind part Of the sleigh and
its occupant upward and forward. Mr..
Henry was actually thrown clean up
on the horses back, and had it not been
for strap breaking he could have re-
tanned his seat. The horse, however,
succeeded in getting away and ran
home. Nobody hurt.-Morgantown
Constitution.
House BuRNED.-On Friday morning
last, the residence of Mr.. - Fox, at
Portland, this county, was destroyed by
fire together with all its contents, the
inmates barely escaping with their
lives. In her efforts to rescue her chill
dren from the burning building Mrs.
Fox was so severely burned that her
recovery is thought doubtful.-Preston
County Journal.
We are pleased to learn that Mr..
Landon, proprietor Of the Muddy Creek
Iron Works, has come among us to
reside, and he intends putting those
works in immediate action. He has
already purchased large stock oil
goods, and expects opening out store
at an early day. These works have
met with many drawbacks. and we are
glad that they are soon to be put to
practical use. A blast will be put in
this winter. There is broad field for
iron manufactures in this county, and
it ouly needs q little stimulus to make
it grand success. May the day be
nigh at hand when the extensive min.
eral lore of this county and State will
be brought to practical utility, advanc-
ing the wealth, influence and standing
of our growing country.-Preston Coun-

The Wheeling REGISTER wants to
know what has become of the mail that
left Charleston for that place on the 4th
Of December. As that mail has certain
ly left the permanent seat" no person
hereabouts can give the desired informa'
ton. We hazard the conjecture that
it is still journeying toward its destina:
ton, and that as Wheeling is a hard
place to reach, it may yet be delayed
for some time. If the REGISTER folks
want their mails promptly, they should
move to some place where they can be
got at. We have just received two
letters from the eastern part OF the
State, dated December 7th, 1870.
Although somewhat delayed we have
never felt the slightest concern about
their non-arrival. We knew they'd be
along in time, and so the event has
proved. There is nothing like being in
the direct line of communication
Courier.
The mail that should have left
Charleston Oh the 4th OF December was
received in Wheeling on the 4th Of
January. A letter from Constanti
nople, Turkey, mailed there at the same
time, got here three days sooner than
that OF our Charleston correspondent
and English exchanges Of two weeks
later date than our Charleston friends
letter are at hand. There is something
in being in the direct line of commun-i
cation"

COLONEL JAMES FISK, Jr., after an
eventful life full or moral wrongs and
successful financial ventures, is dead.
He was an embodiment of successful
impudence, and his career, while ii
affords little that can commend it as
an example for others, has been re,
markable for its financial success,
With all his faults as a debauchee, and
his swindling management Of the Erie
railroad. he is said to have been a man
of kind impulses, giving literally to the
poor and foremost in every work OF
charity for the unfortunate. 1t may be
that New York could better have
s~ared q better man.

MANY of the members elect TO the
Convention and the Legislature will
start to Charleston during the present
week. Contrary to general anticipa-
ton, both the Ohio and Kanawha river
are now free from ice and in good boat
ing stage of water, 80 that there will be
no necessity for members from this sec
ton Of the State making an arduous
journey overland, or a no less tedious
one through the State Of Ohio, in order
10 reach the seat of government. Unless
the river should close again during the
present week, Of which there is now
no reasonable probability, persons de-
string to 90 to Charleston from any point
on or near the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road may take boat at Parkersburg or
Wheeling and go to Gallipolis,
where boat may be had for Charles
ton, or to Huntington, whence daily
trains run to Charleston on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road. The trip by boat
from this end of the State occupies
nearly two days. The regular packets
are all we'll furnished and in good
condition, aud the journey may be made
upon them with safety, comfort and
ease. The fare from Wheeling to
Charleston by river is about seven
dollars from Parkersburg to Charleston
five dollars. We are not informed
what it is BY way OF Huntington and
the Chesapeake and Ohio road. The
opportunities for q speedy and comforta-
bic trip at this time are much better
than they were last winter, and are
quite as good as they will ever be until
q railroad is built to run North and
South through the State. As a conse-
quenoe, Charleston will probably be
thronged with visitors during the
session of the Convention, the Legisla
ture and the Supreme Court, and the
resources of the town for the entertain
nent of strangers will be taxed to their
fullest extent.

WHEELING AND LAKE ERIE.

A meeting was held at Akron, Ohio,
last Thursday. in aid of the project fer
building a railroad from Cleveland up
the Cuyahoga Valley, to connect at
Bowerstown or Zoar with the proposed
Wheeling and Lake Erie road. 1t was
attended by large delegations from
Cleveland, Canton, Carrolton and other
points along the line, Mr.. JOEL WooD,
of Martins Ferry, Ohio. and R. H.
COCHRAN, ESQ. CT Wheeling, represent
ing this vicinity and the Wheeling and
Lake Erie company. From the report
in the Akron Beacon we learn that q
good deal of discussion was had as to
whether the road should be Of narrow
guage or of the ordinary width, Mr..
JAMES FARMER, OF Cleveland, well
known railroad man, favoring the mar
row guage. The friends of the
common guage, however, seem to
have been largely in the majority, and
resolutions were adopted for the open
ing of books for the subscription Of
stock in a road of the ordinary four
loot eight and one,hali inch guage, on
the 18th Of the present month. Meet
ings are to be held at various points
along the line for the purpose OF urging
subscriptions to the stock; and the
project is to be pushed forward rapidly
toward completion. Those present
seemed to consider the proposed rail
road matter of immediate necessity
and to entertain no doubt whatever
that it would soon be put in running
operation. They claim for it greater
advantages than those possessed by the
Tuscarawas and Lake Shore road, and
predict for it as vigorous prosecution
and as speedy completion.
The people OF Wheeling. are only In
terested in the proposed Cuyahoga Val
ley Railroad as an adjunct to the outlet
we are seeking toward the northwest.
Our primary object must be the con.
struction of a road to connect Wheeling
with Sandusky or Toledo, and to this
should be given whatever aid we can
afford. OF the two projects for such a
connection now before our people, each
has its peculiar advantages and each
its peculiar friends. We are not
without hope that both roads may be
ultimately built and that our city may
yet reap the benefit to be derived from
both. AS Cleveland expects that both
the Cuyahoga Valley and the Lake
Shore and Tuscarawas road will be
tributary to her commercial and manu-
featuring greatness, why may not
Wheeling anticipate double advantage
from the building of roads to the
Northwest over both the Wheeling
creek and the Hopedale route; both
offer a good local trade and both offer
connection with Cleveland, Sandusky
and Toledo.

CHARLESTON is one of the few places in
the country where the small pox is not
raging. Through the length and

villages and neighborhoods we hear OF
this abominable disease. Our turn

see to it that the people are prepared by
general vaccination.-Co,trier.
That is one Of the advantages OF
Charleston's isolation. Judging from
the time it takes a letter to reach "the
Permanent Seat" the small pox will
probably get there some time next
summer.
