AS THIS is the year that West Virginia
will elect United States Senator, it is
important that the Democracy Of Brooke
county should elect their candidate for
the House of Delegates.
We suggest that the Town Council at
their meeting on Tuesday evening next,
pass an order lighting the lamps. The
nights are getting dark.
WE observed, on Saturday last, load
of very fine sheep passing through town.
Upon inquire, we learned that they were
destined for the farm of c. II. Aeall, Esq,
the greatest sheep breeder, perhaps. IN
this or any other State. They consisted
of ten Ewes and two Bucks, ofthe simon

Good Judges represent them as the best

dorse the forming of such an Association

Tn. Beginnings or Disease.

1t Is as true as that "great oaks from little
acorns grow" that frightful diseases are
often engendered by seemingly trifilng all
ments. Casual fits OF indigestion superin.
duce chronic dyspepsia, occasional bilious
attacks eliminate in fixed diseases OF the
liver, intermittent twinges in the legs and
arms degenerate into the continuous agony
irons cons. urlences are inevitable. Far from
it. They are attributable to neglect. A few
doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
always cure casual indigestion or an ordi
nary bilious affection, or arrest the pre-
monitory symptoms OF rheumatism. IT Is
true that when dyspeI STA, or liver COM
plaint, or rheumatism, or constipation, or
nervous debility, or sick headache has be-
come a permanent evil, and has even
ba filed the skill Of eminent physicians and
resisted all The ordinary remedies, II may
still be eradicated by the Bitters; bull II is
easier, as Macbeth suggests, to crush the
serpent's egg than the grown serpent.

Erverr,ns From the Crash.

. SkmerEfng From tne CfssH.
It has been reported that the Wall
street leaders were pretty much all se.
riously crippled BY the financial panic
but this report is now denied. 1t is
stated that Cornelius Vanderbilt, from
whose estate the newspapers have sut'
tracted from 100000 to $lO,0OO,OOO
BY the crash, has on the contrary, kept
all be had Of his $50000.O0O. and
bought stocks at so low q rate when
they were down that he will by June
be worth $6O.000.000. He expects to
increase his pile to q ronnd hundred
millions in five years. Daniel Drew
has been set down as o bankrupt oy
the panic, but he has not lost money
enough to hurt him. He has way OF
protesting that be is ruined when he
wants to make settlements, or be let
off easily. His fortune has, perhaps
experienced shrinkage Of halt mill
lion, but he is held to be
worth at least eight millions yet. Jay

"the street" 10 order to avoid legal re-
sponsibility in bis uncomfortable COM
plications with non.paying New Jersey

day for ten millions. Henry N. Smith,

tent OF some s., 100000 through Gould 8

again on q new fight, with the
aid OF some hardly-earned exper-
fence to give him discretion
Alden B. Stockwell. another young
aspirant for the leadership OF wall
street, is one Of the crippled ones OF the
Exchange, but he was manned before
the panic by his operations in Pacitc
Mail, in which little bout be lost some
100000 in three months, and retired
to a back seat with a small nest egg Of
$500 600 to commence operations again

TEE old bsckwoods preacher was
not far wrong when he said that the
sound OF the word baptism indicated
the meaning of the term. He illustra-
ed it thus: When the candidate hits
the water it Gays bap, as it closes over
him it says tism, put the two together
and you have baptism. The distin.
puisbed A. Campbell, il we are not
mistaken, ueed to contend that the act
might be determined by the sound OF
the word.
The above is from the Baptist Record,
published at Psrkersburg. The sdvo-
Gates OF pouring as mode OF baptism
might contend that when the water
strikes the head of the candidate it
