THE ASTECEDEETs OF DISEASE
Among the antecedents of disease are in
ertness in the circulation Of the blood, an
unnatural attenuated condition of the
physique, indicating that the life current
is deficient in nutritive properties. a wan,
haggard look, inability to digest the food
loss of appetite, sleep and strength, and q
sensation of unnatural languor. All these
may be regarded as among the indicia OF
approaching disease, which viii eventually
attack the system and overwhelm it, if il
is no built up and fortified in advance.

Is MEDICTNEA SCIENCE AS general
" understood, science consists in deduc-
ing facts from theory, and the mathemati
clan requires a knowledge of one factor in
order to determine the value of unknown
factors, so medicine, when practiced as a
science, demands q knowledge OF one or
more facts, upon which to base its calcu-
lations. Understood and practiced in this
way, the blunders Of g~uess-work are
avoided. In preparing his now popular
Family Medicines, X. V. Pierce, NJ. d.,
OF Buffalo. n. Y. devoted much time 10

classes of diseases for which his remedies
are prescribed rs specifics. Their unpar-
alleied success attest, in arguments strong

URsIxA ITEMs.-Irsina is not by any
means a deserted village, but, on the con
trary, is one of the Iiveliest tows in Lower
TurSe, foot and Addison. The stranger
Is fayoTably in pressed with the place al

about ii. the better he likes it. For a
town OF small population. we have more
fine buildings Than couli be expected.
We have three good churches, an elegant
school building. and one of the finest Ito

very fashionable milliner and dress maker
establishments two frst-class blacksmiths,
and "A barber. dentist and tailor, com

Notwithstanding the dull times the town
has been constantly improving. Among
the other evidences of public spirit in Ur.
sina, may be mentioned that afforded by a
park or open square, which has not yet
been wholly completed, but is 4 good re-
sort on u summer evening. A pleasant
feature Of life here during the warm
weather IS the fresh, cooling breeze of the
soft, summer winds constantly drawing up
the creek, and bringing the fragrance of
understanding flowers. The birds sing
very sweetly here; we catch the gentle
music of their voices just as the morning
sun is breaking through the gold and sill
yer clouds. But VT must leave this item
and hasten to another.
A select school is in progress here, be-

OBITUARY. - Mrs. Aleinda Watson,
who died at her husbands house the 9Th
inst, in the 32d year of her age, was well
known in our community. She was the
daughter Of Daniel Augustine, and in her
early home she had all the advantages
that refined affection and generous wealth
could bes,ow. These she improved to the
development of mind and heart, and by
her amiable disposition endeared herself
to all around her. There are few persons,
indeed, that have been more generally be-
loved.
At the time of her decease her father
and two brothers were absent from home.
The former did not receive the sad
news till the day OF the funeral. To all
the family it was truly a heart rending
message. Not very long before, Miss
Period, another daughter, had died, and
now the cup OF bitterness was again t. be
drained. But what words can express
the sorrow that MOURN over the loved
and lost.
When we remember Alcinda, who was
so kind in her manners, SO innocent in all
her ways, We cannot but think with one OF
Scotland's poets
"Her soul too soft its lille TO bear
Has LETT our mortal hemisphere,
And sought In better world the need
To lite by Heaven deer eed.
