INTERMITTENT lever IS SO common

INTERMITTENT FEVER Is SO common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion. low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalations, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the INJURIOUS effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing q
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against FIRE damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever. to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

/
Commencing with the New Year,
we will once more report such news
rs we have been able TO collect for the
past few days. The dawning of the
great Centennial was day of unusual
beauty and splendor. The cheering
rays Of the sun, and the warm atmos-
phere could not fail to make glad the
heart of every living thing, even the
insects were jumping about as if re-
leased from their wintry prison. A
large, full grown grasshopper was
caught-on the sidewalk by a pedes-
trian.
Christmas passed off with lis many
happy greetings, making glad the
hearts of the little folks whom "Santa
Claus" generously favored.
The churches i'll this place did not
have Christmas trees, as has been their
custom, but in place, they united and
gave festival at the Town Hall, on
last Thursday evening. The Hall was
filed to overlooking, notwithstanding
the muddy roads. All seemed to en-
joy to the fullest extent the sumptuous
repast prepared for the occasion. The
choirs of the Universalist and M. E.
Church united and produced some
excellent music.
Rev. A. Wilson, Of Kent, has re-
signed his position as pastor Of the
Universalist churches of Kent and
Brim field, and at the earnest request
of the trustees, accepted the Office of
FinancialSecretary of Buchtel College.
Four months more would have COM
pleted Mr.. Wilson'S tenth year in this
place, and we deeply regret his leav-
ing, as he was kind pastor and friend,
but duty calls him elsewhere, and as
the appointment is good one, we
hope he may meet with complete sue
cess.
President McCollister will supply
the pulpit in the Universalist Church
next Sabbath, at the usual hour, pm.
There will be Centennial Sociable in
January 9th. All are invited to attend
and all who can will come attired in
old fashioned costume.
The first quarterly meeting of this
year will be held at the NJ. E. Church
next Sunday, Jan. 8. Love feast $50
and preaching at 10 80 a. IN.
A society called the Brimfield Union
Debating Society has been organized
in this place. The question discussed
last week was, "Should the Bible be
excluded from the common Schools" )"
The question for discussion this week
is that "Modern inventions are detri-
mental to the interests of the laboring
man." The Society meets in the Town
Hall on Wednesday evening of each
week. d.

these places we passed several hard

q proper channel, spreading itself over
large surface Of country, with trees,
underbrush, and holes filed with wa.

At West Point while waiting for
the boat,I rambled into the country,
and came to some breastworks which
were thrown up by the Union army,
perhaps by Gen. McClcllan's men.
These, works are now covered with a
rank growth OF young pines, the old
timber and fences are all destroyed.
The soil here is good aud OF great
depth. AT this place we see the newly
taken oysters put into barrels, and
sold at So per barrel. dGv. e,.5

stay all day, A light rain falling
nearly all day prevented me from
going through the city any, but the
streets near the pier were thronged all
day, sometimes forming complete
blockade. The cars are drawn from
one depot to another by mules.
About 8 p. m. l was again being
carried along the watery way by a
steamboat, and at s o'clock the next
morning, Sunday landed at Cam
