scnc oil for dip'heria are respectfully in
vited to pause. An Illinois physician says
that kerosene is an exceedingly harsh pre-
scription and when taken internally in
cases of genuine diptheria destroys. what
little chance the patient has of recovery
His theory is that diphtheria can only be
overcome by vitality and that kerosene so
derar ges the stomach as TO impair further
its already overtaxed energies to supply
necessary nourishment and strength to the
enfeebled system. Another physician at
the east maintains that the disease Was
never known until after the oil wells in
Pennsylvania were discovered; that the
cases are more severe in houses where
kerosene is used, and in short, that kero-
sene may be the cause of the disease Eek.

The class of Entertainments which in
this village, meet with the most liberal pat
ronage are those OF the higher moral and
intellectual class. This fact is the basis
for the assertion that the morals, intelli,
gence and refinement of the majority of
our citizens is of the higher order, and tes-
tities that this village has amongst its pop
ulation many educated and refined people,
and consequently our society possesses all
that culture, cultivation md sociabiIity
can give it. We have reason to congratu
late ourselves on this fact, for while it will
be the means of drawing the better classes
TO this point, it also is IN assurance of our
| future prosperity and progress.

In the matter of the reorganization of Big
Stone county, the probabilities are that the
influence of the various parties interested
will be exerted to either carry their scheme
or, if unsuccessful, to prevent any legisla.
ton whatever. Several bills have been
introduced, and the following are the prin-
cipal features thereof:
H. F. Nc. 139, provides for the consoli-
dation of the counties of Big Stone and
Traverse under the name of Big Stone
county, and was introduced by Mr.. w. NJ
Campbell.
H. +. No. POS, substitute for H. No.
101, introduced by the Committee on Towns
and Counties, provides for the re organiza-
ton of the county with lis former bounda-
ries
II. F. No. so, introduced by the same
committee, defines and establishes new
boundary lines (thc same as noted in pre-
viOus issue). Itt!ivldes the county of Trav
cr5n adds tie south half of said county to
| 8ig stone; the remainder to De attached to
| Grant.
One Of the officers of the House, in speak.
ing on Ibis subject, says: My impression
is that nothing will be done to organize the
| county of Big Stone, at this session. There
seems to be so many conflicting interests
represented in the lobby!" This is to be
regretted, as it will leave the county with
out any organization for two years longer
aud at the expiration of that time, the same
! interests will be present in greater force
aud the same fight will be made, and with
increased vigor. Therefore, there is nc
reason why some conclusion should not bt
! reached at this session, and the House
should use their own Judgment in the mat
ter, and pass that measure which i'll theil
opinion would be just to the majority. A.
far as we are concerned, our only real in
terest in the matter is TO have the county
organized, and as the sole opposition to th'
various schemes, comes from interested
sources County seat matters) it would b'
as well to pass bill and let the msjorit,
of the residents of the county decide tn,
question by vote.

A VALENTINE
That has a Mo al-let all who Touch the
Uncean Thing Read II.

The following valentine which
was sent to a young man of Moss
Point has been handed us for pub
iication, and will be found well
worthy Of perusal:
Moss POINT, Feb'y Ia, 1879.
AS true friend | wish to offer
you a few words of advice. Intem-
perance is what l wish to speak OF.
Temperance is virtue, and | wish
you to hold in everlasting remem
brance that intemperanceis is a most
fatal and destructive vice. The
temptation and delusion of this
adversary of our peace, the cursed,
fascinating, fatal charm by which
it binds the faculties, captivates
the heart and perverts and para
lyses the understanding is II mat
ter of the profonndest astonsh-
ment. Before the danger is dis
covered escape is hopeless, and the
willing victim irretrievably lost.
Floating gently down a smooth
and delightful current, every mo-
ment the power and inclination to
resist diminish while the danger is
increased. Is the charm irresista-
blef Does the malady admit no
cure 7 Can nothing be done to
prevent it? Yes, beware that you
never indulge in intemperance, and
be admonished by a faithfultriend.
You will pardon my zeal, for it is
in the cause of humanity L am
pleading; for the discohsolate
mother, the hopeless orphan and
the broken hearted and distracted
wife. come with tears Of disap-
pointed love, the anguish of
wounded heart; plead in the
name and behalf of ltfering virtue,
neglected and abandoned forever.
| imagine | hear a voice from the
dark and dismal mansions of the
dead, saying "Oh! ye sons OF dis
sipation and excess, ye prodigals
who riot with the gifts of "a bounte-
Gus providence, come and behold
the companions of your rerels, the
victims of your folly; see the faith
er's 'sprideand mothers JOY snatched
from their embrace and buried
head-long to an untimely tomb;
see the flowers of youth and beauty
shedding it's fragrance and display
ing its glory, but 'ere the niarning.
dew has escaped on the breeze
sickens, withers aud dies. Here
the object of virtuous affection,
there the promise OF true happi-
ness; this the hope of his country,
and there the encouragement of all
true good-all poisoned by fntem-
perance. all doomed to a disgrace
full and premature death" Oh!
look at those and be admonished.
Why nave men NOT sense and rea-
SON enough TO forsake the mTsera-
Bile, foolish indulgence of drinking
poison? If you wish to know who
is the most degraded and wretched
of human beings look for a man
who has practiced this vice so long
that he curses it and clings to it.
Let me urge you who might bring
and elevate your higher nature to
abstain from spurious liqnor, and
remember this is not meant for an
insult; it is from one that wishes
you well aud prays for your reform.

Destruction of Sheep by Dogs.

A writer in the Country Gentlemen
said a yearago that within the space
of 100 rods, in the town in which he
lived, were six houses that number
ed collectively fifteen dogs, and
most of them barking at every
team and person passing. Some
of these dogs were kept at a starva-
tion rate, to prowl around at nights
and steal what they could find to
eat. In fact, one halt these
animals at large are oblige to
forage when and where they
can. Ifno dead animals are acces-
sible, the sheep are chased, wor-
ried aud killed. This town has
paid as high as $500 a year for snch
damages. Statistics go to show
that in some of the reported coun-
ties of the Middle aud Western
States, 800 to 5000 sheep are killed
in a single year. A loss of 5000
was reported in 80 counties in Mis-
souri in 1868. Lit was then estImat-
ed that half million were killed
outright in all the States, besides
the injuries to focks, which would
round MP the actual loss to
81, ,0OO,00O. To this alarming sum
is to be added the loss to the cuti-
vators and the country of the un-
productive and the unimproved
lands in every section.
