RHEUMATISM is aDIsEAsE Of the BLOOD.

The blood, in this disease, is found to contain
an excess of dbril. VEGETINE acts by convert
ing the blood from its diseased condition to a
healthy circulation. VEGErINE regulates the
bowels, which is very important in this COM
plant. One bottle ofVEeETINE Will give relief.
but TO effect permanent cure it must be taken
regularly, and may take several bottles, espe-
cia!ly in cases of long standing. VEGErI NE is
sold by all druggists. Try it, and your verdict
will be the same as that of thousands before
from the use of VEGETyME 1T - which is com. 1s
posed exclusively of Ba,ks, Roots and Herbs.
"VEGETINE," says Boston physician, I" has
no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of its
many wonderful cures, after all other rem edies
had failed, visited the laboratory and con-
WINGED myself of its genuine merit. 1t is pre-
pared from barks, roots, and herbs, each of
which is highly effective, and they are COM
pounded in such manner as to produce aston
ishing results.'

Hand Broken.

Day before yesterday evening nine
wear old son OF b. Albinger, who resides
in East Wheeling, and who was sent by
his father down town on an GRAND,
met with the accident of falling through
the coal vault opening on the postofiice
pavement, which resulted in severely
Gripping one of his hands. 1t appears
that the vault had been opened by a
coal cart driver for the purpose OF put
ting in load of coal, and it had been
left open for a few moments when the
boy came along and stumbled into it.
In falling he caught hold of the cover
ing, which works on hinges, in order to
save himself, and in so doing closed the
door or covering upon his hand which
resulted as mentioned. Some one
fastened to his rescue and upon lifting
the door, the boy who was held up by
it, fell through into the cellar, which
also stunned him. He was taken out
and carried to his home in East Wheel
ing, where DR.. Baird dressed the wound.

Pa. Mr.. Butte has for number of
wears been leading citizen OF this

Jones Great Jubilee Singers will give
two entertainments at City Hall, COM
mencing tonight, for the benefit of A.
McPersOn's Sunday School class. This
troupe is highly spoken OF by parties
who have heard them, and we think
they will be greeted by full house.
But one case was before His Honor,
the Mayor, Yesterday. He was arrested
Tor imbibing too much fire water, from
the effects of which he became dlsor-
DERBY. Fined the usual amount.
Complaint is made against a party OF
Young men who are in the habit OF visit
ING the cemetery on Sunday afternoons,
and deliberately destroying the shrub
bling growing over the graves. We are
sorry TO record fact like this. 1t seems
almost impossible that such contempt
iblv mean people could reside in civil

providing for the care OF cemeteries, and
il there is, it should be enforced to the
letter.

Ii the Governor would reject, in cour-

men in the Second Regiment, besides a
large number of citizens.
Anxious inquiries were made all day
yesterday in regard to the county seat

The action Of the Legislature Of the
State OF Louisiana in passing an act to
repeal the charter Of the louisiana State
Lottery Company has been announced
in the papers: but it appears that the
injury intended TO an institution which
has paid by contract hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars to keep the doors OF the
far-famed Charity Hospital open for the
sick and suffering cannot be accomplish
ed. The Supreme Court Of the United
States has always maintained that the
sanctity OF such contracts cannot be vio-
lated, and hence, for twenty-five years
from its organization in 1865, il will
continue its work OF usefulness and be-
nevoleDce. The louisiana State Lottery
Company draws, next month, its l0Sth
monthly grand distribution at New Or
leans, and an application TO NJ. A. DAU-
PHIN, p. D. Box 692, New Orleans, will
secure any information desired.

CHURCH MATTERS.
The Pastor Asks o Reduction In
His Salary, but the Congrega-

Refuse.
The United Presbyterian congrega'
ton held its annual business meeting
in the church on Chapline street on
Monday evening last. Notwithstanding
the rain the members were generally
present. 1t was evident from the report
of the treasurer, ]. j. Jones, that the u
nancial troubles OF the times has to some
extent effected the church. Yet there
was no disposition manifest on the mem
bership TO abandon any part OF the
church work. The general feeling was
that greater efforts should be made 10
render the church more efficient IN the
work Of the Master. A board OIL trus-
tees, consisting OF nine members, was
elected for the year ending March Slst,
1880. Among the trustees-elect are
several of the young gentlemen OF the
congrepation-who together with the
older and more experienced members
of the board will surely be able to sue
cessfully discharge the duties OF the
trustees and efficiently conduct the pu-
siness affairs of the church.
A proposition was made by the pas
tor. Rev. ]. T. Mcclure, ID. D., that in
view of the scarcity of money and labor,
a reduction OF 500 should be made in
the salary paid him.
The high estimation in which the rev.
erend gentleman is held by his people
was evidenced by the unanimous vote
given to the resolution to fix the salary
at s., 200, the amount heretofore paid.
DR. WcCiure has sustained the relation
of pastor to this congregation for nearly
thirty years, and this last expression, OF
their satisfaction and appreciation OF his
work among them is well merited on
his part and truly creditable to the 80
ciety, and will certainly bear the fruits
of success hereafter.

Apparatus for the Extinguishment Of
Fires


An old citizen of this vicinity, DR.. J.
IL. Connolly, has been spending a few
DAYS in the city among his old neigh
bors and friends. He is now at the
head of powerful company which con-
trolls the manufacture and sale of all the
valuable Chemical Engines which have
recently become so popular for the ex
tinguishing OF fires. These engines
are manufactured in various sizes, from
the Little Gem" for the use of ladies'
in private residences 10 the large two
horse engines. According TO the reports
OF the chiefs OF Chicago, Buffalo and
other fire departments, these Chemical
engines can be used on more than half
the fires occurring by eXtinguishing
them without any aid from the steamers,
thus saving great loss from drenching
the building and goods with water.
The rapidity with which a Chemical
Engine can be- brought TO play is strong
argument in its favor, stream being
thrown within five seconds after il
reaches the scene OF action.
The Chief of the Buffalo Fire Depart
ment in his report says: "Out OF a total
of forty-two fires attended by Chemical
Engine No. /, located on Pearl street,
twenty-seven were entirely extinguished
by said engine, and good service rem
dered at nine"
In view OF the above facts, would ii
not be we'll for the city authorities TO
place one of these engines over on the
Island, and have at least one other TO
cooperate with the steamers on this
side. While Dir. Connolly is in the city,
it might De we'll il the Board OF Educa-
ton would interview him in regard 10
placing one OF his smaller engines in
each school house in this city. These
hints may be worth thousands Of dollars
to the people of Wheeling, il acted up
