Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fre-
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss Of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation IN
the back part There is generally
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation Of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is spmetimss,an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of prickly
sensation of the skim, his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER 10
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.

who are afflicted with this disease 10

The chronological Journal,

In our reading of The chronological journal and
Science of Health for April, we were struck by
the general tone of the magazine. Its aim is to
elevate, and it is pure in character in every de-
partment, while entertainment and instruction
are skilliully blended, so that It's matter is exceed
ingly int resting from beginning to end. Indeed
the chronological Journal is a capital Illustration
OF what can be accomplished in tile way of max
ing science pleasant 10 the general reader. The
first sketch is thai ofthe Rev. DR.. Fail. an Episco-
pal divine of distinctionin Baltimore. Then comes
a very interesting description Of the Chinese at
Home, In which the reader finds many features
that are entirely new to him, and bearing closely
upon the special work Of the chronological Jour
nal. The instalipnent of brain and Miud'' fur
ishes clear and definite applications of the science
to the ,telineation of moral qualities. An inter
esting article is that of "Poe and Rachel" Eliza
beth Thompson, the English lady who has sudden
ly leaped into fame, occupies a place in this num-
Der, with an excellent portrait. Our Young peo-
pie will certainly be interested in the opening
chapters of Uncle Jimmie, the Cripple a short
serial which is very pleasantly written. Real
Teachers and Real Teaching, are some views ofa
veteran pedagogue, now a New York editor. The
great work of Moral Reform is represented this
time by Mr.. William Noble, of England, and an
appreciatiye sketch of him is given, with a por-
trait. Miss Coleman discoufses upon the "Dieto of
Man" in her usually pleasant and careful manner.
All the departments are replete with amusement
and Instruction. The smaller type especially
abounds in valuable hints to the reader. The
Journal is published now at 500 a year, 90 cents q
number, with q choice of Premiums 10 each sub
scriber. Address S. r. WELLS & Co., Publishers,

Man Lost-S5oo Reward.

Sometime between the middle Of next
week and shutdown, about the thirty
third day of the month, a singular man
dressed in pale clothes, a long complex
ion, sorrel hair, a bay nose, a lame eye,
sprained in youth, and large beautiful
clean ears, after kicking his wife and
spanking his orphan children departed,
and has not been seen since. When
last seen no was leaving the Clothing
House of M. Sturm, at a late hour of
the night, where be had been compell-
ed to remain, as the rush was so great
that he could not get waited OIL sooner.
He had a Saratoga trunk, containing
two fine suits of clothes in one breech-
es pocket, a plug hat in the other, a
pair of those strong overalls in his
bosom, his coat and vest pockets all fill
ed with hats except the watch pocket
in his pants, two fine shirts in his hat,
and two hat boxes with balls attached,
filed with neck ties, ~suspenders and
silk handkerchief hanging as beaoti-
full pendants from his ears. In his
pocket he wore a wallet which had but
very little in it when he came to town,
but he bought his goods so cheap that
when he left the store it was pretty
well filled. Any information in regard
to the price of the goods he bought, can
be learned at the above named store.

The New Judgeship.-

There seems to be a studied effort Oh
the part of a few individuals around Ea-
ton, some through ignorance, a few from
personal motives and others for political
purposes, to misrepresent and magnify
the expense and use OF having an addi-
tional Common Pleas Judge in this sub
division. We have taken some pains and
trouble to look into the cost OF another
one and the necessity of it, and the idea
of it being a 'heavy tax upon the peo-
pie Of the county, is so ridiculous that
when stated cannot help but aust the
most penurious shylock to smile at it.
Taking Preble county as an average one
in point OF wealth, which is not quite the
fact, and the actual cost OF this addition
al Judge to the taxpayers is the enor-
nous sum of TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS
About 81 cents cost to the highest tax
payer in the countyl The citizen who
would complain and growl about having
a resident Judge in their town, at so tri-
fling an expense, has but little pride for
its welfare and dignity.
Now let us look at it in a business and
legal point. As to number of cases APP
pearing on dockets, we find that in the
entire District there have been placed
upon the appearance docket, civil and
criminal cases to the number of 90,3SS.
In this subdivision, AZ, 005-just about
one-half-so that our four Judges (by this
comparison)do as much work as the five
Judges in the balance of the District. As
to judgments and DEGREES rendered. In
this subdivision in 1876, there were PIP
judgments and DEGREES rendered by four
Judges-average number to each Judge,
52S. In the balance of the District there
were 1928 judgments and DEGREES render
ed by five Judges-average number to
each Judge, 464.
Our subdivision has ne Judge for $685.
153 of State taxes paid, while in the re-
mainder of the District they have one
Judge for $75,045 of State taxes paid. The
Petit Jury fees paid by Preble county in
the year 1878 was $1,l36. There were
but 19iury cases tried, at an average cost
of about $50 to the case for Jurors alone.
This is the result of a want of time to
properly assign and try cases. The whole
docket is assigned within ten days ortwo
weeks; from three to six cases are fire.
quently assigned for the same day, where
it is known that they cannot all be tried;
but time is precious, and the Jury (tosa
nothing of witnesses are kept in attend-
nee day after day, lest they MAY be
needed. The nineteen Jury ase tried
would not average one day in their trial,
and the Jury fees ought to have been
less than $500. Here is a loss to the
county of $500, in the one item of Jurors
fees, attributed to a great extent to a
want of time on the part of the Court to
properly assign the business. This is the
smallest county in the subdivision, and
the waste in other counties is larger in
proportion, as the business is greater.
The Court MUST keep up with the docket,
and the taxpayers must pay the expense.
Add to this the cost of witnesses paid by
litigants, and we have an amount paid
by the people of the subdivision for the
RUSHING process, that would pay an adj
ditional Judge twice over.
