Several cases Of snake.blte, in which the
value Of Prof. Halfords remedy, subcu-

demonstrated, have, says the Melbourne
argus, lately occurred in the Colony. At
seymourI on the 14th Of December, a
young man, 90 years Of age, named
Dryer, was bitten by snake between the
thumb and the first finger Of the right
hand. The wound was received at Q

was injected into HIS right arm, when he
revived at once. He suffered q relapse,
but the ammonia was again successfully
applied, and he ultimately recovered. AT
Bungaree young girl was bitten by q
snake, and gradually sank into state Of
stupor. Two hours and half after
she was bitten ammonia was injected.
Relief was Immediately obtained, and the
girl rapidly recovered. A third case
happened on the Acheron, II miles from
Alexandria, where little girl two years
OF age, the daughter OF a farmer named
Doak, was bitten by snake Just above
the ankle OF the left foot. Symptoms Of
complete coma were setting in when the
ammonia injection was used with magical
effect. The child sat upright aud became
quite lively. A relapse occurring, sec
ond injection was made with as great
effect as before, and the child from that
time continued to improve until her re-

native woman on the Wirrega Station,
South Australia, who was bitten by a
snake on the ankle. She became uncon.

letter to rhos. Iornbrook. Esq

TiomaS HornbrOok, Esq:
DEAR SR-Seeing your name in the
Tindicator / take the liberty OF sending
the incloscd speech, hoping it may meet
your favor. After forty.iive years OF
earnest work in the temperance cause, l
have come 10 the settled conviction that
the view here presented is The only one that
can work radical cure Of the great evil.
That the voters of the country are re.
sponsible for the existence Of legalized
liquor traffic is a truth, too plain and pal.
pable TO admit Of doubt. Therefore, to
vote for law.maker who is not fully
committed against license law is crime
rs great, il not greater, than the act OF
selling liquor. That crime must be err
posed, and those guilty Of it must
be made to feel their responsibility, or
the temperance cause becomes only
fond delusion OF the past. The root Of The
drink custom is in tho 6dilot.bOr, and II ii
cannot be pluckcd out Of that, it must
continue to grow and spread its PERM.
cious fruits until civil liberty, social
virtue, and everything OF good repute is
ullkuIcu ulIN ucbtIO1Cus In " uut u Huu
and dlsheartening fact, that the clergy
and church members of the country, are
far more efficient. sustainers Of intemper-
ance than the rum sellers themselves?
But this would not he the case il they did
but knOU rhat they are doing when voting for
the friends OF license law. II their
eyes could be opened TO see that every
church in the country is only brother
hood Of drunkard.makers, they. would
sooner grasp the head Of rattlesnake
than touch ballot having the name Of n
license supporter on it.
II you see the matter as do you will
determine for yourself irhdt you caa do to
enlighten the public mind on the subject.
Fifty cents would supply each minister
OF Wheeling with copy Of the Vindioa.
tor Leailct.s There are about one hun.
dred and fifty thousand OF the clergy in
the United States. lfall these would re-
fuse to vote for the sale OF liquor, large
portion OF their congregations would
follow their righteous example. The
rum.tratIic is now upheld by protesting
Christians, and the moment they. stand
from under il falls. The rum-scllers are
powerless without the aid Of Christian
votes. How long will they continue 10
pray To God and role for the deTl or evildOcrS!
Truly your friend,

gum Circuit.
Rev. B. +. Bcazell has written histor.
ical sketch OF EARLY Methodism in Ohio,
which is published in the Coshocton pa
pers. The following extracts will be OF
interest 10 our readers:
The first Methodist preacher Of East
ern Ohio was the Rev. Wilson Lee, IL IA
nous preacher Of the early church.
When or where he preached cannot be
definitely said; but fair presumption is,
that it was in the first or second year OF
the settlement Of the State. 1856 he
was one Of the preachers on the famous
old "Redstone Circuit"-thc first, and for
u long time, the only circuit west OF the
Allegheny mountains.
The next year (l7S7) circuit was
formed called Ohio, from its extending to
the river OF that name. This continued
to be the most westerly circuit Of the
Baltimore Conference until 1909, when
tho Muskingum and Hooking circuit was
formed. In 1901 the first district west Of
the mountains was formed, called the
Pittsburgh district which name it bore
for three years, when in 1904 the organi-
zation oil the church in Southern Ohio
was called West Wheeling Circuit, No.
nongahela District, Baltimore Conference.
The next year (lS05) still another
change occurred, and this field Of Method
ist itincracy was known rs the Musking-
I'm aud Kanawha Circuit, Ohio district,
Western Conference.
The writer then proceeds to briefly ont
line the organization OF society in Co.
shocton county, and speaks first OF the
"Plainfeld Circuit" The first preacher
to occupy that territory was Rev. John
Mitchell, who began his labors in 1872.
He organized three classes in the first
year, one near the present site Of Plain
field, one at Maysville now MarQuands,
and one in the Robinson neighborhood
now called Bethany. "Thcy we're" he
says, "at first connected with the Tuscara-
was Circuit, Muskingum District, West
ern Conference. Subsequently, 1t is said,
they formed a part Of Norwich circuit.
Not later than 1920 they were included
in Muskingum circuit. From 1913 to
1923 the district was called Muskingum,
also, then for time Lancaster.
That old Tuscarawas circuit included
within its boundaries the following cir.
cults and stations: ZanCsville, now Of
the Ohio Conference, Norwich, Sonora,
Adamsylllc, Cambridge, Liberty, WASH
ington, Milnersville, Plainfeld and Co.
shoeton Of the Pittsburgh Conference, and
parts OF what are Dresden and Roscoe
circuits in the North Ohio Conference,
and doubtless other territory which can
not DO designated"

The Western settlers Chosen
Specific.

With every advance Of OmIsa.IOn into tho far
West, demand is created for HOstetters Stomach
BIttcrs. Nowly pcOpled regions are frequently less
sulubriOua than older settled localities on account
Of the mIaSma which arises from recently cleared
land, particularly along the banks Of rivers that are
subject to ireshets. The agricultural or mining
emigant soon learns, when he docs not already
know, that the BIttGs afford tho only sure protec-
ton against malaria and OthOr disorders Of tho
stomach, liver and bowels to which climatic chang.
es, exposure, and unacctSiomed or unhealthy water
or diet subject him. Consequently, no places an
estimate upon this great household specific and

Two More States About to be Adj.
mitted.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-ROom for
another star. The State OF Colorado will
be admitted on the 4th day OF July next,
and the Senate passed n bill to-day which,
if it becomes n law, and the people inter.
cstcd accept its provisions, will enable the
President Of the United States to issue
his proclamation about the LIST of Deem.
Der, declaring the State Of New Mexico
admitted into the Union on an equal foot
ing with the original States, without any
further action whatever on the part Of
Congress, The new State will be entitled
to have two Senators and one Representa-
tive until the general census Of 1880.
Provision ia made That the Constitution
of the new State shall be republican in
form, and not repugnant to the Constitu-
ton OF the United States, but the Senate
struck from the bill as originally report.
ed another proviso that the Constitution
should not be rcpugnant to the principles
Of the Declaration Of Independence. 1t
is very probable that on and after July 4,
1877, the thirty.ninth State will be placed
on the blue field OF tho stars and stripes.

EDITOR REGIsTER:-As the general
opinion was that Spring had come,
some of us sowed our oats while others
planted potatoes, peas and onions, but
that has stopped. If the weather per-
mits there will be large amount of corn

Mrs. Belknap WAS and knew her parents

ing that the daughter would dress fine,
even if she had to gamble for the means.
Why so much corruption in high

people? The stock brokers in our large

encouraging agricultural fairs where
they are gotten up for that purpose. but
they have been perverted. This change
