DIR. WILLIAM CLoUaH,

DIR. WILLIAM CLoUGH, an eccen-
trio physician of Pittsfeld, Mass, died
last week. He rarely took an adequate
fee, never asked any pay of the poor
and his house was made of marble
powders, which he had taken, OF the
farmers in lieu Of fees, while they were
cut aud laid by the laborers whom he
treated. As he grew older, his peculi.
arties grew upon him, aud the most
striking feature about his practice was
his repugnance to receiving any
remuneration whatever for his serv.
ices.

A glass of whisky is manufactured
from about seventy grains of corn,
the value Of which is too small to be
estimated. A glass of this mixture
sells for dime, and if good brand is
considered worth the money. 1t fires
the brain, deranges and weakens the
system. On othlss,ssS same s taerd at
served, lies a newspaper. It's covered
with half a million types-it brings
intelligence from the four quarters of

than the glass Of grog, but it is no

of people who think corn juice cheap,
and newspapers dear.-[Washington

1t would appear to be understood in
Washington political circles that,
whilst congress declines to expel Mr..
Cannon, the polygamous delegate from
Utah, yet the. sentiment against him is
30 strong that he will not return to
take his seat after this session. Can
non has expressed the opinion that an
other Mormon hegira will result from
the course Of congress toward his pco.
pie. The suggestion arises that, as
the indians are polygamists, and the
Government provides reservations,
guns, blankets, breech- clouts, medals
and annuities for them, why not treat
the Mormons in the same way?
