Sustain the sinking System.

The flashes Of excitement produced by the
stinulants iu ordinary use, are followed by
reaction that is always more or less injuri-
Gus. Just as the darkness, Illuminated for a
moment by the lightning's glare, becomes APP
parently blacker than ever after The Hash is
over, so the mental gloom and physical debli-
ty that vanish temporarily under The influence
of dram, return with ten-iold intensity
when the first transient effect ceases. Yet
physicians habitually subscribe The liqlors OF
commerce for patients suffering from bodily
weakness and mental dependency. The true
remedy in such cases is pure s,imulant med
icated with the finest tonics and alternatives
which the vegetable kingdom affords, and Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is tho only pIePara-
ton at present known which thoroughly meets
the emergency. The effect OF this popular
restorative is continuous. Each dose taken
ipvigorates the vital energies and the brain
and its prolonged use will unquestlonably cure
any case CT debility, hypochondria, or mental
torpidlty that does not arise from organic
causes beyond the reach Of medicine. 1t IS,
in the s,rictest sense Of the word, an invigora-
ting and regulating cordial. If the nerves are
tremulous and relaxed, it braces them; if the
bowels are coDstipated, it relieves them; If the
liver is torpid, i, promotes activity in that or
gan; if the mind is gloomy, it clears away the
CLOUDS; if the appetite is poor and digestion q
slow and painful operation, it creates relish
for food and enables the stomach 10 convert II
into heathful aliment. Moreover, 1t Is spe-
cifc for large number of ailments, some OF
which are particularly prevalent IN the damp
and chilly weather which we so often expert
ence in mid winter. Among these may be
mentioned rheumatism, chills and fever and
all the morbid conditions OF the dige' tive and
secretive organs superinduced by sudden
changes of temperature and the inclemeDcies
of the season.

SAD DEATH OF A JoURSALIsT.-Lieu-
tenant Benjamin Oben, news editor OF
the Lancaster, Pa, Express, and con-
nected with the establishment in vari-
ous positions for the last twenty years,
met with sad death on Tuesday morn
ing last. The Express says he had been
complaining for several days of indispo-
sition, and on the evening of Monday
last was in the Office engaged in prepar-
ing copy, feeling unwell, and he was
persuaded to retire to his bed, which he
did about ten o'clock attended by his
friends. About three o'clock in the
morning, in a fit Of delirium, and before
his attendants could restrain him, he
jumped out of the window, falling a
distance of forty feet, fracturing his
skull, causing almost instant death
Deceased was in the 46th year of his
age, the son of Benjamin ODER, OF the
firm of Kline q ODER one OF the early
mercantile firms of Lancaster, and high
iy esteemed by the community (which
he lived

NEARLY HoMclDE-On Tuesday
last, at the residence of Mr.. Matthias
Thompson, in Allen District, T. II.
Kesecker and Thos Caldwell were
playing and teasing each other. Ke-
seeker, becoming tired, requested Cald-
well to desist, but he continued teasing
him, when suddenly kesecker picked
up an axe and struck Caldwell on the
left shoulder, telling him to the floor.
After he had fallen, he struck him on
the head with the heel of the axe,
crushing his skull very badly, the frac-
ture running lengthwise of the head;
We learn that after kesecker had told
him to desist, Caldwell kicked him.
The stories are somewhat conflicting,
and we give the main facts as nearly as
we can arrive at them. DR.. Green was
called in, raised the portions of crushed
skull from the brain, and LETT the patient
comparatively easy, but thinks he is
very seriously if not fatally injured

DRUNKENNESS NO EXCUSE FOR CRIME.
In the Court of General Sessions at
New York on Monday Thomas Mulhol-
land, bricklayer, was sentenced to
three years and six months for causing
the death of his wife in drunken af.
fray. The Judge in pronouncing sen:
tence said it ought to be emphatically
understood, once for all, that intoxica-
ton is no excuse for crime, but rather
an aggravation of it. The enforcement
of that rule would be continued by him
till every man knew thatif drunkenness
induced him to commit crime he must
suffer for it.

Governor Kemper, of Virginia, has
sent message to the General Assem-
bly, of that State in reference to the
State debt, in which he reviews the fl
nancial history of the State, together
with its present resources. He says
the real situation is not understood
abroad, and has been greatly misrepre-
sented. If a fair investigation cause
surprise, it will be because of what she
(he State) has accomplished in the face
of unprecedented difficulties, and not
for what it has failed in. Notwith-
standing any errors of the past result
ing from haste, transient excitement, or
public distress, full investigation is
bound to satisfy the world Of Virginia's
willingness and purpose to perform all
her obligations to the utmost of her
ability.
1t is somewhat singular that he makes
10 allusion to West Virginia's share.
Perhaps his head is little clearer than
those of some other Virginia statesmen.

Curious Pension CAsE.-The Senate
Committee on Pensions Gin Congress)
has agreed to give pension to the
widow of David Bailey, of the 18th
West Virginia Volunteers. The cir
cumstances Of the case, as brought be-
fore the committee, are rather curious.
Bailey, who was home sick, on a fur
Tough, went on election day, May %,
1868, to the town of Cologne. While
at the polls he became engaged in q
political dispute with q Confederate
sympathizer, whom he struck. After
ward on his way home from the polls
he was attacked and beaten so severely
that he died in q very short time. The
case is one which clearly does not come
under the law, as Bailey died from the
effect of a private broil, but the commit
tee say that the proyocation which he
gave was because his feelings as ''loy-
al" man were outraged, and they think
he deserves to be enrolled as one of the
country's martyrs as much as if he had
fallen in battle. Morgan Mercury.
