and the brain, and in part also to the fact that
any disturbance Of the digestive function ne

For the Register.
LETTER FROM LEETOWN.

March 3, 1878.
Thursday has been loosely termed
''Rent Day" as it is the regular day on
which the Landlord, Mr.. Geo. Koonce,
collects his rents, or more correctly
speaking, taxes, which, indeed, amount
almost to rents, they are so high. We
are in "great hopes" that it will not be
so hard after a while, when the bigco
tracts, such as Court-houses, Jails, Rail
roads, etc, are completed.
The monotony of every day affairs,
was slightly interrupted on last Thurs
dav evening a week ago, by lecture
on ''Health and the Prolongation of
Life" by Professor Bowers, NJ. d. for
merly Of Wheeling
The Professor is Prussian by birth,
and has an Indifferent command of the
English language, vet his discourse was
interesting, and as far as could Judge,
HE views concerning health were just
and correct. He advised his hearers to
eat slowly, TO avoid drinking while eat
ing, and at each meal eat less than the
appetite demands, especially at supper
time. This last piece of advice had a
remarkable effect npon one gentleman
who was present, who had thoughtlessly
partaken of bountiful supper, ignorant
OF the dire consequence attendant upon
such indulgence, but after listening to
the Professors remarks, became almost
sick while recollecting the hearty sup
per OF which he had disposed. He re-
covered.
We are in great hopes that the swim
ter of our discomfort" is nearly over. and
that the time of ''the singing of the
bird" is at hand, and when the "voice
of the turtle will be heard in the land"
am almost getting tired of winter. vet
feel, or at least l am trying to feel,
that it is all for the best, and that what
ever kind of weather is vouchsafed to US,
is all right, be it rough or smooth, sun
shine or storm.
Interesting items are scarce; indeed
the only item that l have to append, is
the sale of 20 acres of timber, (not the
land,) sold by Eugene Baker, Esq, and
purchased by A. S. cambridge, Esq, for
$4,000 per acre. The timber is pine
and oak, l believe, and the price is con-
sidered fair one.
Hay, fodder and straw, are getting
quite scarce, and some of our farmers
will have to put their horses and cattle
upon short rations, l fear, unless grass
appears speedily. Respectfully,
TEMPLAR.

the largest assemblies ever congregated
in Washington. The military and civic
procession consisted Of twelve thousand
persons under the Chief Marshalship OF
General Berry. There were also ni'y
thousand persons who witnessed the
grand occasion, and although the rresi-
dent read his inaugural address IN quite
a loud tone of voice, bis words were
inaudibls even to persons directly below
him, owing to the stiff breeze which
was blowing at the time. lie wore

The National Educational association

and members were present, and nearly
every state in the Union is represented.
The association was welcomed to the city
by the mayor in brief speech and the
president of the board of education. The
president, b. p. Northrup, responded in a
graceful manner.
The question then to be discussed was
very handsomely introduced by the Hon.
Edwin Shippens, of Philadelphia. sought
the Chinese and Japanese indemnities to
be refunded Internationally or be devoted
to specific educational purposes.u
lie was followed by DR.. McCosh. of
New Jersey, who made very strong
speech, the point of which was that the
government should be careful lest the funds
iell into the bands of the reactionary par

part in the discussion, viz: Hon. John

Opinions OF the Press,

lFrom the Norfolk Journal
The Republican delegates in convention
assembled at Lynchburg have nominated
Robert w. Hughes, esq.,, as their can
didate for governor of Virginia. This re.
| suit was almost universally expected. for
| the reason that Mr.. Hughes is, in the
| first place, the ablest, and. in the next
place, the most available representative OF
his party in the state.
No one will deny to Mr.. Hughes the
possession of first.rate abilities. and for
ourselves we are not even disposed to depv
that his intentions are good but, never
theless, we know that his record is utter
ly distastefnl to the true people of Virgin
ia. We question not his motives. but as
sert his inconsistency.
In politics he was schooled by John B.
Floyd, secretary Of war during Buchanan's
administration. While associated with John
M. Daniel, in the editorial conduct of the
Richmond Examiner, he was an extremist
with respect to all questions relating to
state rights and secession, and was, withal,
as outspsken and intolerant a southern
partisan as any in that day. We would
that 1t were not possible to say of him that
when the cause he advocated was defeated
he proved false to the memory Of his friend
and patron, and associated himself init
mately with the enemies whose purpose
was to destroy us.
[From the Portsmouth Enterprise
We want man to meet a foeman of no
mean ability, supported by a party moving
IN closely serried ranks, and bent on VIC
tory. 1t is useless to attempt to underrate
Colonel Hughes simply because he has
joined the Radical party, or the strength
better for us to look at his true position
and strength, SO that we may meet him
successfully. 1t is better to gird our-
selves for long and arduous contest, SO
that we may not give out by the way.
we Will have to contend not only with the
Kadlcal party, but in this case with
STRONG man, supported and encouraged by
strong miifed party--a man who is sup
ported not by negroes alone, but by large
number OF white men of ability all over
the state; otherwise we know that he
even with his ambition, could not stan in
that party.

mated for governor Colonel r. w. Hughes
who is regarded as strong candidate
1t was true he was identified with the
rebellion, but he had the sagacity to accept
the situation fairly and fully, and to |
abandon the issues which the war settled. |
