The Antecedents Of Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are
inertness in the circulation of the blood,
an unnaturally attenuated condition OF
the physique, indicating that the life cur
rent is deficient in nutritive properties, a
wan, haggard look, inability to digest the
food. loss of appetite, sleep and strength,
and sensation of unnatural languor. All
these may be regarded as among the IN,
dicia of approaching disease, which will
eventually attack the system and over
whelm it, if it is not built up and fortified
in advance. lnvigorate, then, without
loss of time, making choice of the greatest
vitalizing agent extant, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, an elixir which has given
health and vigor to myriads of the sick
and debilitated, which is avouched by
physicians and analysts to be pure as well
as effective, which is immensely popular
in this country, and extensively used
abroad, and which has been for years past
one of the leading medicinal staples OF
America.

persons were at table, six on each side

At AS o'clock Sunday afternoon
lightning struck the conducting rod on
the barn of Mr.. Geo. w. Stoner, at
Stonersville, Carroll county, Md, and
passed into the stable. Mr.. Stoner was
feeding his horses about eight feet dis
tant from the rod, and was slightly
stunned by the shock. Mrs Stoner was
milking a COW at tho other end of the
barn. Both the lady aud the cow were
thrown to the ground and Mrs. Stoner
was for time insensible, but subse
quently recovered withou. sustaining
serious injury. The ground around the

liz PESTERED BY an eruption, use
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP, the ruling spe-
citic for diseases, irritation and abrasiOns
of the skin, and a most Salutary beautitier
of the complexion. This admirable arti-
Gle is an inexpensive substitute for sui
phur baths, and is equally as effective in
banishing cutaneous naladies, and re-
lieving the pangs of rheumatism and
govt. Redness and roughness, tan, freck-
les, pimples, and indeed every imperfec-
ton of the cuticle is entirely removed by
it. 1t is avouched, by ladies who have
used it, to be the most effective means OF
clarifying and sOftening the skin that
they have ever employed; its health pro-
noting properties are widely recognized
by medical men, and evidence in its be-
half, emanating from other and equally
respectable sources, precludes any reas-
enable doubt as to the genuineness OF its
claims to public confidence. Clothing
and linen from the sick room are disin-
fected by it, and it prevents contaSion
when the danger of obnoxious diseases
has been incurred by contact. Sores and
ulcers, that resist the operation OF salves
and lotions, are healed by it, and it soon
relieves the swelling and pain caused by
bruises and sprains. The opening of the
pores, resulting from the Wholesome
stimulation of the superficial blood yes
sells that it produces, is the effect best cal
culatcd to ease the circulation when over
heated. and carry off those offensive gran
ulations which distigure the cuticlc and
render existence Il state of martyrdom
while they remain. Eruptions, ailments
that ointments will not cure, are entirely
eradcated by GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP.

Wine for Debilitated Females.

Some time since we stopped at Passaic,

the amount of Mr.. Speer's stock of Port
Grape Wine on hand, it is almost fabu-
lous. Four StOrehouses are filled, and
tiers upon tiers of casks up and down
stairs land in some cases huge watts, occupy
every available spot, leaving onl y little
alley ways through which to walk: It's
an illimitless quantity of wine. None is
sold until it has acquired the age of four
years and the buildings l, 2, 3, and 4, are
of the first, second, third and fourth year
vintage. Our druggists have some of the
oldest of the above wine direct from MIR.

TIE McCosKRY SCANDAL--A Detroit
(Mich.) dispatch to the Philadelphia
Times says very strong reaction has
set in regarding the Bishop McCoskry
scandal, and that the public generally is
satisfied that the bishop can readily re-
tute the charge against him. The let
tiers which were stolen from Fanny
Richards by her former beau, Geo. Nc
Council, iwho has served six months in
Jail on charge of bastardy,) are in safe
custody. Some are signed 10y the bish-
op, and are letters that any Christian
gentleman, especially clergyman,
might write to young female ward
letters Of advice, counsel and instruc-
ton. A father writing to a daughter
would adopt such tone. The indecent
letters are not signed, save by a hero
gylphlc CIPHER, and they were the work
of another hand. The obscene drawings
to which reference has been made in the
Chicago Illness report could hardly
emanated from the aged hands of the
bishop. lie cannot draw, while Nc
Council can. The language of the sign
ed letters is refined and beautifully ex-
pressed; in the unsigned it is coarse, and
there are frequent misspellings and eras-
ures. 1t is also stated that proof is in
existence that Mcconnell swore that he
would have revenge on the bishop for
the interference OF the latter and the
part he had taken in inducing Fanny to
refuse Mcconnell on account of the in-
different moral character of the young
man

COMMUNICATED.
HALLTowN, w. Va,
Nav LIST, 1878.

An accident occurred here on Satur-
day last, attended with a fatal result.
Robert Duey, lad about 8 years of
age, son of Hiram Duey of this place,
accompanied some of his playmates to
the saw mill Mr.. Lucas is erecting, just
below here, where they have been in
the habit of amusing themselves watch
ing the workmen. aud playing around
the mill. On Saturday, during the tenn
rary absence of Mr.. Hostler, who is do
ing the work, some of the boys got on
the wa,er-wheel and commenced to re-
volve it by kind of tread-mill process.
Young Duey was seated on the shaft at
the time the wheel was started, and in
trying to get off lost his balance and
fell into pair of cog wheels at the end
of the shaft. These wheels were out of
gear, and the larger one, which was re-
volying, carried him between to the
two-his body passing nearly through
from shoulder to shoulder before the
wheel was stopped. He was taken out
and carried home, but died in half hour
after the accident. The wheels passed
right over the region of the heart, and
pressed that organ out of place. The
little fellow was quite favorite with
all who knew him, aud his sudden and
painful death was a shock to the whole
community.
No one but the boys themselves are
to blame for the accident. They had
been forbidden to come around the mill,
but they persisted with the above Sc
quel to their obstinacy.
A Mr.. Trussel met his death in a
similar manner a few years ago at a
Touring mill below here. He was oil.
ing the machinery, and similar pair OF
wheels caught him, carrying him into
them. ,
The saw mill is nearly completed.
