Reform at Funerals Imperative
Iy Demanded-rhe Old Custom
Of sitting up With the Dead
Discussed.
EdItou IntellIsencer.
We notice the above heading 10 an
article in the IHrELLtGENCER OF the sd
taken from the Washington Reporter Of
the 2lst on the subject Of funerals, which
Ia worthy the careful and thoughtful con.
sideration OF everybody. The article has
the right ring, and we trust that those
who have enlisted in this particular re-
form will continue OIL until the masses
can be educated up TO q proper feeling in
regard thereto. There are many who
are in favor Of reform In this respect in
our midst who are only waiting for some
body 10 take the lead. Many a IMAM Is
kept poor for years, and many . one con.
tracts debts he can never pay by having
a fashionable funeral for some member in
his family, just because his neighbor ~.
dulges iniextrayagance. Alittle self will,
with a little moral courage therein to
strengthen, and the conducting OF pri.
yate affairs in a legitimate manner re.
gardless Of fashion or "whAt will the PEG.
pie say,n would go q great way towards
helping bring about this much needed
reform.
In connection with this grave and
solemn subject reform Is needed in an.
other direction directly connected with
that Of funerals. And that Is In what is
known in this country as "wakes, y or sit.
ting up with the dead, a useless custom.
II q person die in the night time in q
house infested with yermin, and a coffin
cannot be had, then 1t may become neees.
sary for some one to watch, but when the
body Is put in the colin there Is no mecca
sity for inviting q party 10 spend the
night watching the corpse. II has been
discovered here OF late that such parties
are hard to get together, and the people
generally are beginningto see the folly Of
this ancient custom. There ID no need Of
the we'll being deprived Of their rest and
subjecting themselves 10 the danger Of be.
ing laid low, and perhaps die from the
very same disease that the one whom they
"waked" died Of. The time was In this
friends would not have a @wake" and a
big supper they would have been
regarded as "heathens and not ft TO
live In a civilized community" but
now we are happy 10 say qnite. q
number Of families have discarded
"wakes entirely, and the people are grad.
ually falling In with this class Of reform.
We hope the subjects referred 70 will be
agitaied by those who have an influence,
untilit will be common for no awakes"

An Editor and n Correspondent
Come In Collision nj Clarks-

buEBs
CLARKsBURe, W. VA, Jan. %, 1878.
Editors I%ntelligeneer.
You have doubtless heard OF this city
among the hills Of West Virginia. You
may have also heard OF a weekly paper
published here called the Garisbuug Tee
gram, whose editor, by the way, is OF the
kind called lighting editors" / enclose
you an article which was clipped from
his paper, casting imputations on the
Clerk Of the Walker Hotel, who, by the
way, Is n most exemplary young man.
The said article was written because this
young man writes letters 10 the Wheeling
Regiaer occasionally, giving them a few
local items about this ancient town.
Fearing lest the outside world would get
the news before his paper could send il
broadcast, our editor goes to work and
publishes an article with a view, as II
would seem, Of intimidating him and
keeping him from writing any more let
ters.
The Clerk OF the Walker House on
going to the postotice here this evening
met the editor OF the telegram and asked
him as a gentleman to explain the article
he had written against him. Instead Of
doing so he merely remarked that he
meant Just what 1t said and accom-.
panied his remarks with language
%unbecoming a gentleman, whereat
Mr.. Jackson, who, 1 should have said
before, Is the Clerk OF the Walker Hotel,
knocked Mr.. Editor down several times,
The editor tried TO open his knife, which
he had succeeded in getting from his
pocket, but could not, as Mr.. Jackson
kept him busy defending himself. The
lockers on parted the belligerents, Mr..
jackson telling the editor that he would
give him until his next weeks issue to
reiract his remarks. The editor re-
marked that "the next time you tackle
me you will drop" Mr.. Jackson seemed
to think hat now was as good time TO
drop as any. But instead, he again
dropped the editor. The ~by.standers
interiered and separated them. Where.
upon Mr.. jackson kindly invited him out
on the pavement to settle il, but he de-
clined. 1should have said the fight took
place first on the pavement and was con-
linued after the parties had gone into the
postofice. l suppose the affair will be
fully ventilated before the police court
here. In the meantime Mr.. Jackson
seems to have the sympathy Of the PEG.

CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOE n CUR OF
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms Of . Diseased Liver.
DAlN in the right side, under the
edgeofthe ribs, increases onpres-
cure /; sometimes the pain Isl the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie.
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder.bladc and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the I'm.
The stomach is affected with loss Of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general arc costivc, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
Thcrcisgcncrallya loss
ofmemory,accompanied withapain-
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some'
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet arc cold
or burning, and he complains Of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exerciscwould be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitudc enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every REM
edy. Several Of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
:, AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. {. McLANE's LIVER Pills,
IN CASES OF AcuE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, arc productive
ofthe most happyrcsults. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory
TO, or after taking Quininc. We
would advise all who arc afflicted
with this disease to give them A
FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and
as a simple purCativc, they arc un-
equalcd.
