SLEEP.-Sleep, DR.. w. A. Hammond
says, may be regarded as general
rcpose Almost all the organs rest
during sleep. The heart, popularity
supposed TO be in perpetual motion,
is at rest six hours out of the twenty
four, the respiratory organs eight, and
the other organs more or less. The
brain alone is constantly employed
during wakefu ness, and for 1t sleep
was formed and made needful to its
preservation. 1t is true that sleep
does not give the brain total recess
from labor; imagination and memory
are often wildly active during sleep,
and unconscious cercbratioD, likewise
takes place, but enough rest is OBJ
tanned for the renovation of the brain,
and that which has been torn down
during wakcfulness is to a certain ex-
tent rebuilt. Sleep is most wonder
ful power-often stronger than the
will, as in the case of the sleeping sol
dier-and more might than pain, as
when sick persons and tortured prs-
oners sleep in the midst of their sufl-
ering. No torture, it is said, has
been found equal to the prevention Of
sleep. The amount of sleep needed
differs according to the constitution
and habits. Big brains and persons
who perform much labor need large
amount of sleep. Children need more
sleep than grown people, because con-
is more active than decay in
their brains.

MANY people are puzzled to un.
derstand what the terms "four-penny,r
"six penny" "ten penny" meant as ap.
piled to nails. "Four-penny" means
four pounds to the thousand nail, "six-
penny" six pounds to the thousand,
and so On. 1t is an old English term
and meant, at first, "ten-pound" nail
(the thousand being understood); but
the old Englishnen clipped it to "ten-
pun" and from that "ten-punny" and
so it degenerated, until penny" was
substituted for pound" So, when
you ak for fourpenny nails, nova
days, yon want those, thousand Of
which will weigh four pounds; but in
these degenerate times, we question
whether you will get as many as a
thousand in that weight. When
thousand nails weigh less than one
pound, they are called tacks, brads,
etc, and are reckoned by OUNCES.

SILVER Cry, I. T., Oct. 18th, 1877.
The district Court has bat little
business to transact at this term
Owing to the absence of George Stod-
dard the principal, and in fact only
witness against John A. Wilson and
w. v Williams, the Grand Jury
failed to find indictments against them,
aud recommended that their case be
submitted to the next Grand Jury;
consequently they are hell to answer
at the next term of court, and Stod-
'dard required to give bond in the sum
of three hundred dollars for his ap.
pearance as a witness.

dictment against John Thomas for the

ion that no horse had been stolen, and
the man discharged. The facts are
