Letter from Mineral Springs.
MINERAL SPRrNGs, Adams co. o.,
April Z, 1874.

April Z, 1874.
J. L. BoARDMAN, Esq.-Here I am
once more, for the purpose of drink
ing Of these healing fountains. And
among my many wants is The '.High-
land News, for which you viii find
enclosed few stamps"
My presence heres so early in the sec
ond season, you will doubtless re-
gard as indicative of pretty strong
faith in the healing qualities of these
waters. Be it SO. I was satisfied
last season that 1 was much benefit
ed by the use of the water, and de-
termined to give it a longer trial
this season.
I do not think eUery one who
comes to the Springs for health is
greatly benefited, but do think the
water particularly beneficial for va
riety of ailments.
think, from all I can learn, that
eoms,Inaptives had better remain at
home-especially far advanced cases,
while persons suffering from the va
rious forms of liver complaint, stom-
ach affections, kidneys and uterine
irregularities, may receive much bene-
fit. I say 'may" be benefited, to
which add, they may not. Let a
dyspeptic, who has poor control over
his appetite, comehere-turned1e0se
to follow his own inclination. By
the tonic influence of the water he
soon finds his appetite greatly in
creased. Mr. Salisbury sets a very
good table, and "dyspeptic'' finds
himself taking on daily, three heavy
loads-most ruinous to his stomach.
How can such an one be cured by
the water?
But enough. I am not employed
to ''blow up the Mineral Springs Of
Adams county.
Yesterday was election day in this
(Meigs) Township, and one Repub-
hean on that ticket, Mr.. William New
il, was elected justice of the Peace,
beating theregularly nominated Dem
ocrat, Esq. Thurman, eight votes.
Easter and it's cold snap, is passed,
and the peaches appear to be un-
injured on "Peach Mountain"

OF the day, and this is the time for
thieves. They go out on the last
night Of the 'sDewalee, and if they
can pilfer the least thing they think
they viii be prosperous in their pro-
fession during the year. Confection-
ers make many toys of sweetmoats,
which are sold with large quantities
OF fried rice, and these are bought in
great quantities for presents. To-
day our '.Bmca," or the man who
supplies the food for the School,
brought a large server full of these
things for Mr.. and Mrs. Heron, also
. large plate full to both Miss Craig
and myself No doubt it had all
been offered to the idol, but we asked
no questions. Cow-herds, and others
who have cows, bullocks and buffa-
loes, paint the horns of these animals
red. In short, this is the time when
all pray for prosperity, and worship
the Goddess of Wealth.
Another festival will be on the
Goth of November. On this day peo-
pie fast and worship Vishnoo. This
festival is kept because the God
wakes out of four months sleep on
that day. 1t is said there are two
things connected with all Hindoo
festivals. One is "Poogia," or some
kind of worship for the benefit of the
soul, the other, p0lat05le dishes and
frolie for the body. I could fill
many sheets with accounts of differ
ent festivals, but will save some for
another letter.
1 hear the bell strike ten, and I
must retire. I sleep upon an upper
verandah, and enjoy the cool noun
tain air to the fullest extent, and
when awake have a fine time star
gazing. Last night I was awakened
by the moon shining full in my face.
I am always particularly glad to see
Orion marching up from behind the
mountain tops, as he is the only old
acquaintance Ihave. When you look
up at him please think that a few
hours before he has looked down on
me.
Iwish I could tell you that many
of our girls had been brought to
Christ this year. At our last COM
munion one was baptised. Oh, how
we need the power of the spirit upon
us and our laborsI Much seed has
been sown; pray that it may spring
up and bring forth much fruit.

One of the severest paragraphs uttered
by the press upon Bntler is the following
by General Hawley's paper, the Hartford
Courant: ''The Washington correspondents
announce that General Butler will be
amongst the enlogists of Mr.. Sumner
when hisrdeath is announced in the House.
If the Essex statesman had any re gard for
the fitness of things or the wishes of the
American people, he would hold his tongue
on this occasion; but it offers him another
opportunity TO keep himself before the
public. and for this purpose he will speak
hollow words of eulogy for one who, in
purity of his public and private life, was
his antipode, and whose virtues must seem
to him incomprehensible. He viii praise
the dead Charles Sumner, whom living he
hated. He will mount the coffin in order
that the public may see B. F. Butler 1t is
as if a charlatan should cover Sumner s
grave with posters of his quack medicines. y

Wool MAEKET-Coates Bros. Philadel-
phia Wool Circular for April, says the trade
of March, disappointed many holders, the
demand being unusually light, owing to the
stoppage of mills, strikes of operatives and
other causes. But for these causes it is
probable there would have been repetition
of the high prices of two years ago. As it
is, the quotations have varied but little
since January.

Ripley elected the whole Temperance
ticket, after warm contest, with the larg-
est vote ever polled in town. The Bee
says out of 10 or 112 colored votes, not
over sac were cast for the anti-Temperance
ticket. A fact highly creditable to their
sobriety and intelligence.
At Higginsport, the Temperance ticket
was also successful.
At Georgetown, the anti-Temperance
ticket was elected.

At meeting of tie saloon keepers of
this city, they unanimously resolved to
suspend all business relations with those
merchants whose wives or daughters par
ticipated in the temperance crusade Ma
rietta Times.
If the saloon keepers would ''Suspe7d
business relations" with all men, young and
old, in Ironton, the generous act would
preclude the necessity of any further action
on the part of the women. The women are

Revenue.

Blackburn is to be tried this week under
the new law, which permits persons charged
with any crime, and suspected of being
insane, to be tried before a special jury of
twelve, and if three-fourths of the jury
find him insane he can be sent to an asy-
Ium. The trial is set for the 14th of the
present month. There is little doubt that
ne will be pronounced insane. Should he
recover, however, he will be again liable to
be tried for murder.

The Constitutional Convention

The Constitutional Convention
has been engaged for the past week
in discussing the proposition to
allow cities, towns and townships to
aid in the construction of railroads,
to an amount not exceeding 5 per
cent. of the taxable valuation of such
cities, towns, &C., by a vote of two
thirds of the citizens. It is probable
the measure will be adopted in this
form, though it is meeting with
strong opposition.

CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD.

The circulation of the blood is the life of the
body, and its stoppage is death. We are healthy

disease. "Blood is the life of the flesh." Can we
expect 10 enjoy good health, when bad or corrupt
humors circulate with the blood, causing pain and
disease and these humors being deposited through
out the entire body, produce pimples, eruptions,
ulcers, indigestion, costiveness headache, neural

No disease can be iii the body without first being
generated in the blood and no disease can possibly
