An Important Decision.
OIeFA OF Late boATu OF
January q, 1878.

The Supreme Cont Of the United States on
Monday rendered decision in the case OF
Pierce against Clrskadcn, involving the con-
sttutionality OF the Act Of the West Virginia
Legislature, passed the llth of FEBRUARY, 1865,
and commonly known as the Suffers Test
Oath Act.
Carskadon bad in 1864 recovered a judgment
IN the Circuit Court Of Preston county against
Pierce and Williams, upon an attachment
against them as uon-resdeuts. Afterwards in
September 1868, the defendants, Pierce srd
Williams, appeared in court and rendered their
petition denying the justice of the plaintiffs
claim, and asking for q rehearing of the cause.
but did not and could not file with the petition
an affidavit as required 10y the act of February,
1865, because they had been soldiers in the
Confederate army The Circuit Court refused
to receive and file the petition, because it was
not accompanied with such an affidavit denying
all participation in the rebellion, as required
by the act aforesaid The case was carried to
the Court of Appeals of West Virginia by the
counsel Of Pierce and Williams, and that court
affirmed the decision of the Circuit Court Of
Preston county, refusing the re-bearing and
held the act Of FEBRUARY, 1865, to be constitu-
tional, and from this decision the counsel
took the cause to the United States Supreme
Court, and it reversed the Court, Of Appeals Of
West Virginia and held the said act to be "a
post tacto, and alsoa bill of attainder,' and
for these reasons unconstitutional and void

Letter from DIR. Ramsey.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Many years ago,
DIR. Jas. Rodgers and myself, under init
nations contained in numbers of the Lon
don Lancet, began the use of Aromatic
sulphuric acid in diarrhea. 1 send the
formula that has become old with me, and
will be found as "a stand by" in many
familieSin which 1 formerly gave advice.
A number of years ago visitation of en-
denaic cholera occurred at Memphis, Ten
nessee, and several cases of collapse were
relieved and life preserved by the bold use
of sulphuric acid and quinine, hyproder-
mically administered by DR.. Almon
Brooks, now of Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Indeed, DIR. Brooks met with such success
that he did not regard case as trouble
some provided he aCas called in collapse.
Rx. aromatic sulphuric acid one ounce,
laudanum half ounce, compound tincture
cardamon four and one-half ounces; mix
a table spoonful in water after each diar-
rheal movement of the bowels. If cholera
morbusplet the contents of the bowels be
elected and then use the medicine. Use
solid ice freely.
There is no epidemic cholera in America

Carson worthy and honored member of our
organization and of society in general, who de-
parted this life in the full faith of true chris
tain. Be it therefore
Resotred, That though sundered by death, we
will ever cherish the recollection of his many
virtues, and while mourning our loss be recon-
ciled to the Divine WILL rememb erng that it is
his eternal gain.
ResoLved, That we tender the bereaved widow
of our deceased brother the assurance of our
sympathy and regard, trusting that He who
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb will succor
her in her grief
RESOLVED, That copy of these resolutions be
furnished the family of the deceased and that

A Cure for Cholera.

g In view of the fact that other portions of
our State are being seourged with that
dreadful disease, cholera, it behooves every
one to Immediately provide themselves
with the best known remedies, for, to be
cured at all, cholera must be cured quickly.
The first symptom of this disease is usually
a painless diarrhea, accompanied with a
feeling of GOODNESS in the bowels. Where
the cholera is prevailing no other warning
is necessary, but the person attacked should
Immediately lie down and keep quiet,
have large mustard poultice prepared and
cover the entire abdomen. To stop the
diarrhoea nothing has yet been discovered
more efficient than DR.. Lytle's Elixir,
taken in liberal doses, which should be
taken as soon as possible. Should the
case be stubborn and pain and cramp fol-
low, take large dose of DIR. Harris Great
Relief inwardly and have the limbs rubbed
vigorously with the same. By following
these simple directions, no one need fear

& New Machine.

We witnessed yesterday evening the
trial of new patent machine at Samuels
& Campbell's keg factory, invented by
Mr.. Eugene Fischer, formerly OF New
York. 1t is machine, the need of which
has long been felt by manufacturers of sad
die trees, but up to the present no one had
been able to furnish anything that would
answer the purpose, viz; to cut the blocks
en- the. right shape by machinery. It,
with few alterations suggested tc the
Grafton, will not only cut out 6 or of these
blocks at one time, and that in a very few
minutes, but he thinks he can also use it
in making shoe lasts. 1t is certainly a
nice piece of mechanism, and will un-
doubleday answer the purpose for which it
has been invented, that is to do the labor
of from eight to ten men. Mr.. Fischer has
applied for patent papers, and will leave
in few days for Washington to present
his claim to the same in person. gSka sc
