WINDSOR COUNTY.

In view OF the above facts is it wise to
drain the State to the extent of over six
hundred thousand dollars annually as is
now done, to pay premiums in foreign Life
Companies when such an institution as the
Vermont Life exists within our own
borders, chartered by our Legislature and
always amenablc to the laws of the State ?

Importance OF uenl,nx nlood.

Every drop OF blood that clrculates

solid particle Of the body. Flesh, bone and
muscle are merely solifed blood, and upon
the quality Of the blood depends the condi-
ton Of the whole physical system. Unless
the liquid material by which the human
substance is renewed and sustained Is pure
and nutritious it is impossible that the
body can be healthy and strono. One OF
the most important properties Of Hostetter's

Mr.. C. G. FULTON, in one OF his inter-
esting letters from Europe, has the fol-
lowing remarks on temperance
Horace Maynard, in his address be-
fore the managers OF the Harlem Inebri.
ate Asylum OF Baltimore, see alluded
to the tapeiul effect of that social
sentiment in America which regards a
refusal 10 accept an invitation to drink
as a cause of personal offence, whilst q
refusal to take cigar or to eat is not 30
regarded. This is undoubtedly the
foundation OF intemperance. but it has
no existence in Germany. No one here
invites or urges another man to drink
with him or at his expense. Men sit
down and drink together as a general
rule, but no man pays for what the
other drinks unless be is too poor to pay
for it himself. They drink as many
glasses as each may desire, and when
the waiter comes for the money each
nays for what he has drunk. Accord.
ing to our system, if half dozen men
sit down to drink, each one
must treat IN his turn, and thus each
must drink elk times, whether he de.
sires it or not. 1t is thus that drunk
ards are made and fortunes are ACQUIRE
ed by tavern-keepers. If it was not our
system OF treating" excessive drink.
ing would not be so common, and inc
briate asylums be as unnecessary as
they are here. Nothing stronger than
beer or wine finds any sale, and even
this is drank in moderation. 1t is not
gulphed down, but drank slowly, or
rather slipped, whilst eating. If you
desire to offend German you could
not accomplish it more successfully
than by insisting on paying for what
he has drunk or eaten at the same table
with you. do you wish to insult me :"
would be the exclamation that would
greet you on the introduction of such
an American idea at the social board in
Germany.

ANOTHER BRIDGE.

Some time ago the project Of builds
ing a causeway across Back river, con-
Meeting the upper portion Of Wheeling
Island with the Ohio shore, was pro.
posed and seriously discussed. The
opinion of engineers was had in relation
to the matter and some steps were taken
TO induce the government officers hsv-
ing in charge the Improvement OF nsvi-
CATION, to recomm end that the work be
done, in part at least, at government
expense. A sort OF rip rap dam has
already been placed across Back river
with a view of deepening the
water in the main channel, and
it was thought that the copstruc'
ton OF a solid embankment would not
only accomplish more effectually this
desirable object but might afford a
roadway for travel.
There were, however, some serious
objections to the scheme, and when the
project OF building a railroad bridge
across the river was agitsted, the Back
river embankment was dropped from
discussion and almost from recoliec-
ton.
The rapid improvement OF the town
OF Martins Ferry and the erection there
of several important factories during
the present summer have had the
effect OF re awakening the desire
for a better means OF communication
between this city and that thriving sub
urb. The "EtDa Iron and Nail Works
Company" has erected its factory at a
point nearly opposite the upper end Of
the Island and a village Of operatives
will soon gather around it. II q bridge
were constructed at some convenient
place in that neighborhood, the trade
O! the mill could be brought 10 this
city and we doubt not that our mere
chants would sell in Martins Ferry a
much larger amount OF goods than now.
The convenience OF the community
would be promoted and the value OF
property would be increased.
We suggest the matter in the hope
that it may be maturely considered by
some OF our progressive citizens and, if
found desirable, put into such shape as to
become q successful reality.
