A Chicago Times correspondent writes
For killing lice on cattle or horses take
sassafras roots, boil them to strong tea ;
take some old cloth and wash the animal
so as to wet the hair and hide thoroughly,
and will guarantee it to destroy the lice.
Either warm or cold when applied will do
this. have used this on cattle and colts
with the best of success, and no danger Of
any bad effect or injury to the animals.

The advantages of this Society over all
other mutual companies are:
!. 1t secures to its members life insurance
at a smaller outlay than any other ASSOCIATION
doing business at the present day.
> The life endowment secures insurance
at ordinary life rates, with the advantages
that if the Insured shall live TO an old age, 1t
shall then become matured endowment
and consequently payable.
8. 1t is the simplest, the cheapest, and yet
the safest, more eminently Just and appiIca-
bic to all classes than any contract OF insur-
ance ever before offered to the public.
{, The Society is purely mutual, thus at
fording insurance at actual cost.

learn the lesson before it is too late,
that the same toll and self denial nee
essary to succeed in the West will
produce much better results at home.
1t is true, as Mr.. Campbell says, that
many men have become rich in few
years in the West; but they have ci-
ther been those who were on the
ground early and grew rich by hold
ing on to their possessions until they
became enhanced in value by the de-
velopment of the country, or those
who would have succeeded anywhere.
The opportunities for getting rich
suddenly in the West are becoming
limited in those later days Except
in the mining districts where expert
ments in metallurgy is a necessity J,
until the conditions which lead to
wealth and comfort are substantially
the same as those which govern us
here-and it takes pluck and talent
to bring man to the front.
There is a lesson in all this for our
young men who long to join the vast
army that is continually thronging
to the West. The same AMOUNT of
money, coupled with the same deter
mination to succeed and the same
amount of self denial, will produce q
better result at home Our cities
and towns are growing year by year,
and farms are being turned into gar
dens. Our resources are being devcl-
oped in all directions, and each pass
ing year brings large additions to our
population and wealth,a and with them
come business opportunities that
might as well be taken advantage of
by our own young men rs by those
who come from abroad. There is
more satisfaction and comfort in
staying at home; and with the proper
assertion Of spirit and business en-
terprise there is more money in it,
and that is the main thing.

unable to control his emotion. Jud-
gees Brady and Donohue were also
almost overcome with sympathy with
both the dead and the living Presi-
dents.
The room in which the new Presi-
dent took the cath Of office, is shelvcd
with books, In the centre is table
and the carpet is rich and dark.
Paintings by old Italian masters in
Florentine frames adorn the walls,
and a bust of Henry Clay is in a cor
ncr nearest one of the windows. The
furniture is covered with white Gre
tonne, and easy chairs and sofas
abound.
Immediately latter taking the oath
President Arthur sank into one Of
the chairs in the room and buried
his face in his hands. He was thor
oughly overcome.
After few minutes he arose and
went up to the2sccond floor. 1t was
announced that he would not leave
the city until some time during to-
day.
The visitors at the house departed
at about 3 A. NJ
The presence of two supreme Court
Judges at the Generals residence
was cause for wonder to many.
The fact was, however, that when
General Arthur decided to be sworn
in word was Immediately sent through
Messrs. Rollins Church md Root to
Judge Brady. Shortly after, think
ing that perhaps Judge Brady might
not he at home, General Arthur sent
for Judge Donehuc. The first named
Judge having arrived first was cho.
sen TO administer the oath.

Martins Ferry Times.
We commend to our readers the
article printed on the first page of
the Times to-day from the pen of
Mr.. A. w. Campbell the editor of
the Wheeling Inteuigence,, who has
just returned from heightened Wis
it to the land of which he writes.
The opinion expressed, that the west
is land of trial and hardship, and
many failures is not new one by
any means, but it comes now with
such a weight of independent judg
ment as to emphatically corroborate
the recitals which have now and then
come to US from the lips of those who
have staked their little fortunes and
lost. There is scarcely a village or
township in all the Eastern States that
has not contributed one or more vic
Tins to the delusiye promises of
land spectators in the West who have
returned only to relate their trials
and misfortunes to unbelieving hear
ers. The rose colored advertisements
of railroad companies with large
quantities of land to dispose of have
been scattered over the land by the
millions and thousands Of persons,
who have been fairly prosperous in
we'll settled communities, have be-
come dissatisfied with their lot and
emigrated to the West, only to go
over all their earlier hardships in
out-of-the way localities, among stran-
gers far from home and friends, and
after all been obliged to return to
their former homes and begin the
battle of life anew.
There are still men here and there
who are comfortably situated, with
all the conveniencies around them
that make life pleasant, who talk of
emigrating to the West. Let them

ing of this road. Already bonds
have been voted in some of the dis
tricts. That the road would pay
from the day of its construction no
one doubts who knows of the natural
wealth of this country, That this
road and others through this section
are soon to be constructed there
seems no doubt. In Kansas they
would be built within the next year.
There is already considerable activi-
ty in coal lands in anticipation of
the building of the roads. Near
Morgantown, land is being sold at
from SEQ to 500 per acre. Lands
all through this country are higher
in price than we had expected they
were. Choice mountain range in
price from S75 to 500 per acre, and
we believe there is little for sale at
less than $25 and $50. The people
expect great things from the benefits
railroads will bring and they will not
be disappointed.
WEST VIRGINIA SCENERY
is, in many places, simply grand i
Judge it to be finer than that Of Colo
orado (which / have never seem in
that it is more varied, and in that its
mountains are covered with grass,
better variety of trees. The roads
wind their way up the mountain
sides. Below are beautiful shady
dells. The creek bottoms are gener-
ally composed of rocks, thrown to-
gether in wild disorder and moss
covered. Over these the clear, pure
waters tumble and bubble, often
falling over the rocks a distance of
eight or ten feet. The stiffness of
the woods, save the noise of the rip
ping brooks, and the deep shade,
make visit to them most delightful.
Then upon the SUBMITS and green
slopes Of the mountains one may look
over the varied scenery, and the land
scape is rs handsome rs any picture
could be imagined. One can see

miles. Here is a golden field; there

covered with trees of the deepest 70

rolls back to the clouds Orchards,
and farm houses composed of brick,
stone or white painted frame, nestle
in the narrow valleys along the hill
sides. The people are industrious,
happy and contented, aad the picture
presented is one calculated to inspire
the mind with the better thoughts Of
the human soul. Here in this old
country have gone down to the grave

and women unknown to fame, unac-

and position, but who did their du-

THIS CLIMATE
is not unlike hours. The sun shines
hotter in Kansas and there is more
breeze with us. This climate is also
much more popular with the ladies,
because they do not tan so badly
here as in our State. A person may
be out all day and come in with face
and hands nearly as fair as when
they went out.
Springs abound everywhere and
there are few farm houses that do not
have the old fashioned spring house
near by where milk, butter and other
articles are kept cool by the cool
and sparkling spring water running
through the neat whitewashed spring
house, by means of bitches or troughs.
"Sugar camps" are also common,
and many of the West Virginians
manufacture their own sweetness.

To the Teachers OF the Pablc
Schools Of Monongalia County:-I
herewith have published so much of
the act of the General. Assembly of
Virginia passed in 1776 as relates to
the boundaries of the District of
West Augusta, and the formation out
of the territory of said District, of
the counties of Ohio, Monongalia and
Yohogania. ask it as favor of the
teachers of the public schools of the
county of Monongalia to request of
their pupils who are studying Geog-
raphy, and who have made some pro
ficiency in map.drawing, to examine
carefully said Act, and exhibit on the
blackboard the boundaries of the
county of Monongalia as defined by
said Act in connection with the coun-
ties of Ohio and Yohogania. pro
pose to publish for the benefit Of the
children of Monongalia county so
much of the history of those early
times as relates to the formation of
the aforesaid counties; and hereafter
to publish the successive acts of
assembly which led to the enlarge
ment Of the territory of our county,
and subsequently, to the diminution
of the same, as useful lessons in map
drawing and geographical history.
