The decisions of smell are hardly
isolated; they accompany those of
hearing, sight. taste, and touch. and
are also less frequent than the latter.
Insane people who are affected by
them, complain of being haunted by
the fetid emanations, or congratulate
themselves on iuhnling the most de-
licious perfumes. Lelnt mentions the

MYSTERIOUS. A citizen of Winnie

some outside district few days ago,
which we learn assayed several thous-
and dollars. As soon as he ascertained
the result he mounted his steed and
left for the locality from which it was
sent. which is represented az being
thirty or forty miles from town, with a
view of acquiring an interest. Where
the discovery is situated or whether
his mission was successful is as yet
an unrevealed mystery. Our inform

discovered som. where To the north

from one of the lodges discovered, but

CAUsELEss DEPnEssIoN.-This express
sion is often used, but is manifcstly
absurd. Gloom and melancholy are not
spontaneous. They are unnatural men
tai conditions and usually have cores
ponding causes. If there is no apparent
reason for dependency, it is n symptom
of physical disease. In nine cases out
of ten, the stomach, the liver and the
bowels are responsible for the cloud
which rest upon the brain. In all such
cases immediate and permanent relief
may be obtained by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. If the digestive organs
are weak an invigorant is necessary: if
the liver is disordered an Alternative is
required; If the bowels are constipated
or irregular gentle aperient is needed.
In that famous vegetable remedy these
three medicinal properties are commin-
gled with several others of scarcely less
important character, and hence it speed
lily cures every species of hypocondrin
arising from material causes, by remov-
ing the cause themselves.
In the summer, when disorders of the
stomach and bowels, bilious complaints
and NIL diseases which affect nssimilnting
and secretive organs are especially pre-
valent, the Importance of having this
invaluable tonic, Alternative and correct
i've in every dwelling, and within the
reach of all who travel by land or water,
cannot be over-estimated. AS it is a
staple article throughout the country, it
would be next to impossible to find q
settlement, near or remote unprovided
with q stock of this famous vegetable
restorative. June IL 1881

A PLEA FOE THE DIET.-A New York
journal is discussing the question whc-
ther offensive smells are unhealthy. It
holds that where the most repelling
odors prevail in that city the children
seem to be in the most snlubrious con-
dition. There are more healthy, ragged,
dirty, and rosy-cheeked little ones in the
most unclean localities of New York than
in the select regions of French nurses,
frills and baby! coaches. Twenty doctors
aro employed III this last region to one
i'll the locality of offensive and repulsivc
odors. Here is comfort for those who
are compelled to snuff the cau de co.oyne
OF tho very filthy streets. AS the most
hcnlth-Siving waters Mt the celebrated
springs are generally the most disagree
able to the taste, why may it not be that
habitual whiflS mt the streets. whose smells
are somewhat akin to the flavor of IA
shionable medicinal waters, should pro-
duce health and longevity?
