IEcESr explorations in Australia show
that, in addition to an extraordinary lake
Of salt water in the centre Of the country
which blights thousands of square miles
otterritory in its vicinage, there is be.
youd an arid desert Of greater extent than
any other in the world, on which there ia
neither animal nor vegetable life to be
found, aud even on the borders Of which
nothing but the dryest Of sage brush can
be seen. An attempt was made to sur.
yey this sand sea at its supposed narrow
part, and after travelling over three hun.
dred miles the camels showed signs OF ex.
hIGstion and n return became absolutely
necessary, but habitable ground was not
reached before several Of these supposed
monarchs Of the Sahara dropped dead.
1t thus shown that only the western
plrt Of Australia can be utilized as a
refuge for the thousands Of Europeans
who are seeking homes in the new coun.
Try, that more than half Of the island
continent will not support men or ami.
mlls, and that hence the limit Of popula.
iiOn can already be reasonably or ap.
ProIimately estimated.

MoUSDsvrLLE, September L..
Editors InielliEsnoer
1t seems that UDcle Sans detectives
were around during our camp meeting,
and now some of our citizens have special
business at Wheeling, in attendance at
the U. S. Court. The cause is crooked
whisky and crooked tobacco. It seems
that license cannot be transferred from
one place to another even in the same
town, or At least will not cover two places
Of sale at the same time.
The work on our new Jail building is
progressing rapidly. 1t il the intention
Of having it finished some time in Janu.
ary. Then we can keep our own crimi.
mails, and not be forced to call on our
neighbors 10 do it for us. Hon. II. S.
White, the contractor, seems to possess
the faculty Of pushing things right along.
Our Jail will be an ornament 10 our place
as far as architecture is concerned, but
the trouble is that it Is put behind the
Court House, in such manner that no
one can see it. We ehope no one ever will
zee the inside Of It, at least as 4 criminal.
A circus will visit US next Monday and
the whole country will be here. Hun
dreds Of dollars will be carried away, no
doubt, and still times are so hard that
we cannot pay our preacher. Many will
so 10 the circus who will almost deny
themselves the necessaries Of life to raise
the means 10 60. But thus it ilways has
been and suppose it will ever be.
Another wedding Tomorrow night !!
This one at the Presbyterian Church.
Everybody are not invited this time.
Just right, but we wish them Just the same
as though a card had been sent 10 us, as
we'll "a others.
The prospect Of supplying our State
prison with water from basin on the
Mound, supplied from the Wolf spring,
promises to be certainty now. It will be
due to the enterprise Of Hon. G. S. McFad.
den. 1t is said that no one drinking from
this spring can ever leave Moundsville.
The query now is, whether it will have
that effect on the convicts. II it will,
keep the water away from them is our
prayer. Y.

Many valuable discoveries and much useful

the immense expense in making them known to
the people This is not the case with BoscHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP, although but few years in
troduced into this country, its sale now
reaches in every town and village in the U S.
Its wonderful success in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Asthma, and all other diseases
of the throat and lungs, was first made known
by distributing every year, for three years,
over 400, 600 bottles to the afflicted, free Of
charge, by Druggists. No such test of merit
was ever given before to any other prepara-
ton. Could you ask more2 Go TO your
