ENrERpRIsE.-A load of white pine
shingles came to Morgantown last
week from Kingwood, not by the Mar
row Gauge, but by wagon. It's said
these shingles were made by machin-
cry in the pine swamps of Maryland.
Hauling shingles by wagon 40 miles
must be an uphill business in a
wooded country like this. Hurry up
your Kingwood Narrow Ganee, boys.

Morgantown, Oct. 1st, 1877.

For several weeks nearly all of our
exchanges in this State have been
publishing lists of lands to be sold
for delinquent taxes, which lists have
occupied from two to six columns of
the papers in which they were pub
lished. 1t occurred to us that there
might be a list in Monongalia and
upon investigating the matter we
found that there were only six pieces
in the county, and most of them of
very little Importance. So we would
conclude that our county is financial
ly in healthier state than any other
in the State. Kanawha county, whose
county seat is Charleston, had six
columns, set in small type, giving the
list for that place.

BARBOUR county pays only twenty
dollars per month for No. l teachers.
Quite contrast to the salaries paid
in Monongalia. To the best Of our
knowledge no teacher in this county
receives as little as twenty dollars
per month, while the majority receive
nearly forty dollars.

Heat and Sickness.

During the hot and sultry weather an
unusually amount OF sickness pr evaiis in
every community especially among le-
males and children, caused by the FER
menting miasma gas or heterogeneous mat
ter floating in the air, arising from decay
inc vegetation. This bad air anects
everything we eat, and cngenders III IL 4
semi fermentation which when taken III
the system is like leyen, and operates on
the whole; starting in the bowels ana
soon producing violent fermentation,
caused dirrhea and dissentery. 1t mas
been found that the use of Speer' $ old Port
Grape Wine of New Jersey has an extra
ordinary effect in checking this fermentl-
ton and restoring the system 10 its orlgl-
nal strength and vigOr, and when used IN
time it prevents these complaints alto
gether. Invalids and debilitated persons
have found it the most nutritious anu
strengthening tonic in the market, and
the greatest help in resisting the poison
Gus effects of the vetiated atmosphere.
This wine so long established has become
the standard wine upon which physicians
reply as the most rich in body and genu-
inc in character Containing the greatest
amount of medicinal properties with the
least Intoxicating qualities. Speer's vine
wards promise large yield this year than
usual, and he has reduced the price OF his
wine that any one can now purchase 1t OF
druggists for 81 per bottle None of this
wine is bottled until it is four years old.

General Field, of Fredericksburg,
has but recently returned from Egypt,

has been forced to take part The
American officers could not consc:enti-
ously take the field for the Crescent

S2G.5OO, 100000.

Week before last l showed the cost
of paying the higher grade Of officers
and soldiers Of the 20 regiments of the
United States annually. Now, l quote
from the annual report of the Secretary
Of the Treasury, his estimate OF the or
binary cost of the military establishment
for the fiscal year ending June, 30th,
1878, and it is given in the caption of
this article. This enormous sum is ex-
elusive of Notifications, arsenals, DC,
which runs it up to $50, 500,0G0.00.
And, for all those millions yearly ex
pended, what has been the consequence
A free, happy and independent republic
has been degraded to the condition Of
instability in legislation, and serfdom of
labor in subsection to capital. Through
the direct agency of the army the sa-
cred rights OF the States have been
swallowed up by the general govern
ment, and the solemn results of elections
have been defeated by the arbitrary and
illegal use Of the military power. a
citizen not elected occupies The chief
magistracy Of the republic as fraud,
upheld by military awe For twelve
years sovereign States were controlled
by military interference, in which even
the inalienable rights Of individuals
were disregarded, and notorious robbery
legalized by bribed tribunals. BY the
military power the republic has been
engulfed in debt beyond redemption,
and the several States are fostering un-
der the same ring. BY this standing
army the civil power has been subordi-
mated to the military in direct violation
of the constitution. BY it the fruits Of
industry have been tributized. and inter
nal revenue collected from domestic
products, altogether incompatible with
our system Of government. The pre-
extant guarantees under the compact,
and ripened policy under the constitu-
ton have all been swept away by the
noble C) deeds of this vain glorious rel
ic Of despotic monarchy, or in fact bar
barism.
But this is not all the objection there
is to regular or standing army. The
history OF all the old governments, both
ancient and modern, proclaim the same
fatal eXperience-cat out and overpow
cred by the great armies. This is the
universal lesson taught by nations that
have been, and are now groaning under
great military establishments Russia,
Prussia and Austria are all sickening
under the great load of military ruin.
And once conquering Spain, where are
her trophies now? Lost by the extrava-
gance of her armies. And unless our
lawmakers ana law dispensers heed the
experiences of the past, the United
States will tumble into the same chasm.
Let wisdom once more we'd economy
under our laws by going back to first
principles, by relying under every emer-
gency upon a citizen soldery. Abolish
the school at West Point, abolish the
army in toto, from Sherman down
froemcn want none of them. Patriots
| do not need them. Monarchies require
standing armies to coerce their subjects.
Republics should not tolerate armies,
for they ultimately destroy them. L.

BLEMIsHES UPON THE FEMININE CoUNrE-
NANCE, if of n cOmpleXional nature, speed
ilv vanish when GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP
is used to obliterate them. PimPleS, blotch-
cs, roughneSS, redneSS and tan are lnVa-
riably banished by this incompatible
clarifying agent. Eruptivc ailments, sores
cuts, bruises, scalds, and other affections
and injuries of the cuticle are likewise re-
moved by it. SULPHUR BATHS have long
been renowned as the best remedy for
skin diseases, rheumatism and govt.
GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP is i'll every respect
as ellicaciouS, and far cheaper. BY open
ing the pores, and promoting vigorous
superficial circulation, this eXcellen; ar
ticle contributes to the health of the en-
tire system Is well rs to that OF the Cutl-
Gle. Since its introduction to public no
tice it has repeatedly been commended by
the medical profession and press, and few
external specifics have won such golden
opinions" among all classes. 1t prevents
obnoxious diseases Us well as remedies
them, and diSinfects clothing and linen
impregnated with disease. Dandruh Is
entirely eradiCated by it, and its use Is, ON
that account, greatly to be dcSiderated by
persons whose hair is thinning ont III
consequence of dryness Of the scalp.
Those who have used Ointments and IL
guilds without avail for the cure of erup-
tons of an obstinate character, will find,
ifthey try it, that GLE,iN's SULPHUR SOAP
removes scOrbutie complaints irrcmedia-
bic by less etlicaciOus means, and prevents
the recurrence Of such disorders.

A Result ofObstructed Digestion,

Among the hurtful consequences of
obstruc:cd digestion, is the improvement
of the blood, and since decorative con-
dition Of the vital fluid not only produces
dangerous organic weakness, but, accord
ing to the best medical authorities, some
times caused aSphyXia, it is apparent that
to improve the quality of the blood by
promoting digestion and assimilation, is
Il wise precaution, Hostettcr's Stomach
Bitters is precisely the remedy for this
purpose, since it stimulates the gastric
juices, conqucrs those bilious and evacua-
tive irregularities which interfere with
the digestive processes, promotes aSSimil-
alton Of the food by the blood, and purilies
as will as enriches it. The signs of i'm
.provement in health in consequence of
using the Bitters are speedily apparent in
an accession of vigor, gain in bodily
substance, and a regular and active per-
Torrance of every physician function.
