Tun Kanaxha County Court has

The Kanawha County Court has
appointed a committee to examine and
report upon the practical workings Of
the County Court and Board Of Com
missioners established in Ohio county
bylspecial act of the legislature. with a
view to the adoption of a similar sys-
tenn in that county, should it be deemed
advisable. This is intended as a con-
cession to the Radical clsmor with
which the County Court established by
the Constitution has been greeted IL
many of the counties; clamor that
has its basis rather in factious and
partisan spirit Of opposition OF Demo-
cratic rule than in any substantial
cause. Nevertheless, the peo-
pie of Kanawha county will
doubtless do wisely by giving the SUBJ
iect full and careful consideration to
discover whether an independent sys-
lem, as provided for in the 34th section
of the 9Th article Of the Constitution,
can be devised that will suit their in
teres!s and their wishes better than To e
present one. Some improvement might
be made on the Ohio county plan.

Symptoms by whIcI, Every One may
Know the Disease.

The cough OF Pulmonary PhthlsiS or Tu-
bercular Consumption commences gradual
", without fever and without the running
at the eyes and nose which characterize an
ordinary cold. ~
The cough Is generally dry and hacking
for some time after It's commencement.
The expectoration is often speckled or
streaked with blood.
There is seldom much pain In the chest
and very rarely any Jtred pain
When pain does occur IL Is nearly always
Of q dull aching character, and is met with
10 the sides or under the collar bone or
shoulder blades, and Is not unfrequently
aggravated by coughing.
The morbid or unhealthy sounds detected
by means OF the Stethoscope are generally
confined to the upper lobe Of the lung. These
sounds are often limited TO one side Of the
chest, They are very persistent, and, even
II met with on both sides at first, are apt to
subside partially or wholly on one side,
while they continue, or even increase, on
the other.
BY closely watching the progress OF the
above symptoms no one need long remain
In doubt as TO the true condition OF his lungs
In the great majority OF these cases the
disease Is allowed to run until II IN TOO lat o

Horrible Accident,

A lad named Henry Albertzart, aged
IA years, had his lett arm torn from its
sockets to-day at the paint and varnish
factory Of Charles Wazer & Co. He
had placed his had inside OF a paint
grinder to feel the revolving bands
which closed on his fingers and rapidly
drew in his whole arm until the shout
der WAS reached, when his body being
too large to enter the small hole, the
top of his entire arm was torn off and
went into the mill. At first he did moi
seem to realize his great misfortune
or feel any pain. He placed his hand
over the horrid wound and start
ed forward to where the mer
were at work, but realising hi;
hand from the torn shoulder
the blood gushed forth in torrents and
uttering faint cry he fell senselefs
Prompt medical attention was rendered
He lies in a precarious condition.

Those OF our readers acquainted on
Monson street, will remember that the
roo of Mr.. Forceps' saloon adjoins his
house, aud is approached by two VIM
dows. One of these windows is in Mr..
Forceps' bed room. On this roof Mrs.
Forceps has spread hesitating tomatoes
with view to Fastening their ripening.
Last Wednesday she put five more

The Forceps' have a niece visiting them

Of many OF our people, and on Wednes-
day night several of them got together
to give her a serenade. Providing
themselves with the requisite instru-

ton near this addition we speak OF and
struck up on the instruments. Mrs
Forceps was first wakened by the
music, and nudged her husband. He
also awoke. The music WAS grand
not loud or course, but soft, low and

much pleased, and got up to the window

We have seen specimen pages OF
new book by the editor of Halls Jour
nal of Health, entitled Health at
Home or Halls Family Doctor;
howiug how to inyigorate and preserve
health, prolong life, cure diseases, I'M
derstaud the physical conditions OF ma
eruity, and the proper management OF
infants, and discussing the entire phys
al well-being Of man, with q very
arge collection OF the latest most valu-
Die medical prescriptions" The OBJ
ects of the book are set forth in the
preface as follows: The bite OF an in
sect, a midnight sickne ss, an accidental
poisoning, have many times proved fatal
while the messenger was sent for
O physician; when on the kitchen
hearth. in the ice-box, the store~room,
the dairy, the hens nest, the big road,

dies more available for cure than the

more powerful for good than any drug
ever taken from the shelf OF the spoth-
ecary ; but no one knew it, and the pa
tent died. A main object OF this book IS
to give such information as will enable
the most unlettere3 reader 10 avail him-
self promptly Of those means for
saving health anaHfe, which nature and
providence have thrown broadcast
around him in wonderful profusion."
Doctor HALLS long ievo-
ton TO hygienic science has admi-
rably qualified him for the work Of pre-.
pairing such book and his task has
been well performed. The advice given
has, in all cases, the merit of plainness,
simplicity and commun-sense, and the
remedies proposed are generally such as
are within the reach Of every one. We
learn that Mr.. D. w. EDGERToS will
canvass this neighborhood for subscri-
bers and we predict for him great sue

the reputation OF its author are known.

TIE UNIVERSITY.

We learn from Mr.. FRANzHEIM, Of
this city, member of the Board OF Re-
gents OF the West Virginia University,
that at the meeting of the Board last
Wednesday six of the Regents were
present and large amount OF impor-
tant business was transacted. The bids
for the erection OF the new University
building were opened and it was found
that all that were submitted were some
what in the excess of the expectations
of the Regents. The lowest and best
bid offered was that Of Messrs. KLEvIs
and ScHoELE OF this city, who propose
to erect and finish the building accord
ing to the plan adopted by the
Board for q gross sum a little
exceeding SAL 900, and the contract was
awarded to them. They are enterprise
ing and responsible men, good work.
men, and abundantly able TO perform
whatever they undertake.
A great many applications had been
filed for the professorahip OF Ancient
Languages, and Literature, and the sew
ersl applicants were all highly recon-
mended. After duly considering the
several cases, Mr.. BERKELEY, OF Balti-
more, was elected to fill the vacant chair
in the faculty. He is said to be an ads
mirable scholar, an excellent Instructor
and to possess all the requisites for the
successful discharge of the duties OF hi
position.
The next term at the University
opeus on next Wednesday and we are
happy to learn that the prospects OF the
iusiitution were never before so bright.
A large number of new students will
be in attendance and the college class
proper will be materially enlarged. The
University has every facility for I'M
parting to it's students as thorough and
substantial and useful an education
as can be anywhere attained, and there
is no good reason why any West Vir-
ginia boy should go beyond the borders
of his own State in order to enjoy edu-
cational advantages. We are glad to
believe that our people are rapidly
learning to appreciate the excellence Of
the scholastic institutions in their own
midst. The University is abundantly
worthy OF all the money that has been
expended upon it by the State and OF
the patronage it has received and should
continue TO receive from the citizens.
