CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. 1t has been
cured in very great number OF cases
(some Of them apparently desperate ones)
by Schen ks Pulmonic Syrup alone, and
on others by the same medicine in con-
uection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, accord
ing to the requirements OF the case.
The old superstition that Consumption
is incurablc,'. for many years deferred
Physicians from attempting 10 find q
remedy for that disease, and patients
afflicted with it reconciled themselves
death without an effort being made 10 saw
them from doom which was considered
inevitable.
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed at
one time TO be ut the very gate of death,
his Physicians having pronounced his
case hopeless and abandoned him TO his
fate; he was Cured by the aforesaid medi.
cines and afterwards enjoyed unlnter-
years. Thousands OF people have used DR..
Schenck's preparations with the same re.
markable success.
Schenck's Almanac, containing q
thorough treatise on Consumption, Liver
Complaint, Dyspepsia, &C., can be had
gratis OF any druggist, or OF J. II. Schenck

In the development of the promised
redemption, the time for the Redeemers
manifestation comes. Jewry was stirred.
A strange preacher had arisen. His
manner and words were astonishing.
Multitudes focked to his ministry.
Among them came Jesus from Gslilee.
He turned away from home, parents,
business, to commence what He called
"My Fathers Work" We will inquire,
|. Why Jesus was baptized?
9. How he was known By John?
l. What the attendant phenomena
meant2 Why WAS he baptized? L
answer: (a) AS a King to win
His peoples affections; ~ to honor
and confirm johns ministry; (c) 10
sanctifv the ordinance to future
use; (d) to do himself what was required
of others (e) in order TO public recog-
milton by His father; On to fulfil all
righteousness as becoming.
2. How was we known by John? (a)

WHEELING, Jan. 70, 1878

Correspondence of the Register.
WHEELING, Jan. %, 1878.
Men are, in some respects, like village
dogs who seem to bark because some
other deg saw fit to do so, either TO cx-
press his feelings or please his fancy, and
in TO clsss Of persons is this peculiarly
more dominant than in newspaper cor
respondents, as demonstrated lately in
the columns of the REGISTER. When
the "Big Cathedral opened the chorus
he aroused some of his companions, and
these raised others until the concert was
becoming general; and the boys were
gleeful in anticipation of fight. Such
hopes, however, are threatened with
heart sickenings from delays as the
greater batteries are hushed, and Only
minor masked guns are heard, which,
being interpreted, seem to inquire what
means this tumult2 am not disposed
to enter the rir g to bark my consent or
dissent, but having impartially observed
and noted the proceedings, l want to ad-
vance my conclusions, which are not new
but relevant and antecedent:
A great and good man had been dis
possessed of his fortune, and his friends
came together to consider the cause, and,
rs usual, the council was dlvjded-one
waxed warm and SAID: "Days should
speak ard multitude of years should
teach wisdom, but there is spirit IN
man, and tho inspiration of the Al
mighty giveth them understanding.
Great men are not always WISE"
A greater than Elihu sllenced the
Sadducies by few plain words-"Ie err,
not knowing the scriptures" The rela-
lions OF Heaven vary from those sustained
on earth. II our premises are untenable
our conclusions fail. Great and learned
men have erred IN all ages, and doubtless
will while they look through darkened
glasses. In science as in theology, and
in moral and civil government the
word of the Lord stands, and where that
is silent we can all afford to be quiet. |
hope these able men will write on in
plain terms, avoiding al founding words
known only to scholars, that common
people may read gladly and be edited.

Correspondence of the Register.
GRAFTON, Jan. %, 1878.
A few errors are contained in your edi-
trial of last week on the pardon OF Lamb
den. It Is not admitted, and believe
riqhtfully, that John Lambden acknowl-
edged that he had done the cutting,
neither did Judge Lewis say that the
verdict was proper one, at least, ne did
not say it during the session OF the
Circuit Court; TO have done so would
have been highly improper, and Judge
Lewis was net the man TO make I'M
proper remarks upon the bench. Ot the
l5O petitioners who desired lsmbden's
retention, only 8 few are known citizens
of the county. That the prosecuting At
torney objected is only in keeping with
the man. A specimen of his manner OF
treating others is given below, and, am
sorry TO say, is not the first occurrence OF
a simils: nature. AS the ROOSTER Is
widely circulated through this nelghbor-
hood, (more often borrowed than bought,
the editorial referred 10 has been much
discussed, and many persons with whom
/ have conversed approve OF It's tone and
the action of the Governor.
County Court has been in session since
Monday. The members OF the Taylor
County bar are generally peacefully in
clined, but on Tuesday quite an exciting
and warlike occurrence took place. Mr..
s. p. Mccormick, on several occasions
during the day, had charged Mr.. >: w.
Mason with making statements which he
knew to be false. In the argument OF an
assault and battery case, Mr.. Mccormick
referred 10 some evidence which had been
ruled out. Having been requested by
Mr.. Mason several times to desist, and
the court having several times interrupt
ed him, MIR. Nice, became excited, and
grabbed large ink bottle and was about
10 throw it at Mr.. Mason when the court
lnterfered and prevented the-ink from
being spilled.
Mr.. James 81. Stouton, Saturday last,
made an assignment to q. L. Jarvis for
the benefit of his creditors. Assets and
liabilities unknown.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings
large and enthusiastic Murphy meetings
were held IN the NJ. +. Church. On
Tuesday evening Mr.. Atkinson, OF the
Wheeling Standard, spoke for an hour
and ten minutes. Strict attention was
paid TO him, and the address was admired
by all who heard it. Had Mr.. A, con-
fined himself to the subject, and not de.
voted so much time to education and
workingmen, the address would have
been shorter and better.
The new railroad continues to occupy
the attention OF the people. On Friday
last some representatives from the
other counties were here, but owing to
Misunderstanding, those interested from
Morgsntown and Pittsburgh did not
come. Another meeting will be held on
the 3lst inst, when representatives. from
these places will be present.

a Virginia farmer has reported rather
an odd little incident that he has seen on
his farm. He planted some weeks ago
timothy seed with his wheat. The
timothy failed to come up, although the
wheat grew splendid. A careful exam
nation disclosed the fact that the ants
had gathered up all the grass seed, and
made piles OF it At the entrance OF their
underground home. All over the field
this had been done, and a great quantity
of the seed had been carried across the
road and piled up in the field there.
