4 SLANDERER CHAsTIsED.

Saturday evening Mrs Jeannetta Ehmann, wife OF
John Ehmann, resident at the corner Of Walnut and
Eighth streets, entered the shoe store Of Mr.. L. v.
Bockius. Mr. Charles Bockus, son ofthe proprietor
is a clerk in the store and Mrs Ehmann confronted
him with some slanderous statements which he had
made concerning her He replied that he had
merely repeated what he himself had heard, and
that they were no fabrications Of his own. Mrs.
Ehman did not stop to argue, but, drawing a acow-
hide, which she had on her person, struck several
vigorous blows at Bockius who avoided a chastise-
ment by wardng off the blows and catching hold Of
her arm, This did not end the matter. Another
scene was enacted Monday night. Bockius was
standing in front Of the store, when Mrs Ehmann
come on him unexpected from the south, and with
out any warning let drive several sharp, quick
blows with her fist, which knocked Bockius back
ward and drew blood on his face. After this, Mrs.
Ehmann quietly retired from the scene Bockius
made a written retractiOn over his own signature on
Tuesday OF the statements he had made. The
tongue is q dangerous member and needs 10 be
bridled. This will no doubt be lesson to worthy
young man.

Alcohol and the Nervous SYSTEM

In all the range of poisons that
affect the system there are none
which are 50 destructive OF the mind
and body as that Of alcohol. Affect
ing directly the nervous system, the
brain, spinal cord, and nerves-its
influence is thus what might be
termed double. Scientifically, the
mind may be regarded as a force re-
sulting from certain conditions
which are fulfilled in the great
nervous centre, and, that therefore,
whatsoever deranges this latter, pro-
duces abnormal action OF the men
tai phenomena. intellectually
will be disordcred, the emotions de-
ranged, and volitional power chang
ed or modified. But as from the
brain and other nervous centres ev-
cry organ derives its functional ac-
tiyity, consequently whatsoever
acts upon itmust necessarily modify
all the organic functions of the body
of the bod y considered apart from
the mind, Under such circumstan-
ees it will be seen that a poison like
alcohol must be Of a most disastrous
character, affecting Is it does not
only the physical, but the mental
constitution. A single dose of arscn-
ic OF strichnia may kill, SO, also,
oftentimes a single dose of alcohol
will; but if it should not, it is
worse for the victim, in case he
afterward becomes the subject of
chronic poisoning by it,-Ci1ciapa-
II Mcdicat Neaus.

The Winter at the West.

The Baltimore San says a letter
from Chicago to d New York paper,
describing theseverities of the win
ter in the Northwest, cannot fail to
make US admire our climate here.
We fancy that we have had a hard
winter, and are often disposed to
grumble about it and envy the
balmy gales and orange groves Of
Florida But up in Minnesota and
Dakota, there has been an almost
continual snow blockade for three
months past, with deeper snow
drifts than ever known before. The
painful impression seems to exist
that when the snow has disappear
ed it will be found that there has
been a great loss of life. 1t is
claimed that many remote settle
ments have been literally buried I'M
der the avalanches of snow, and the
inhabitants have persisted from
cold and hunger. 1t is said that in
the cattle ranges between the Mis-
souri, river and the Rocky Noun
tains over 100000 head Of cattle
have persisted, involving a loss of
$S,0O00O0 to $10O0O,0OO. In the
country between the Platte and
the Niobrara rivers the loss of stock
from severe weather has been %
per cent. The cattle were mostly
killed during the terrible "bliz-
yards" that have repeatedly swept
over these regions, but many per-
ished for the want Of food. The peo-
pie in these sections have now be-
fore their eyes the new danger of
floods from the melting Of the I'M
precedented quantity ofsnow which
has fallen.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-04-13

Until recently Byesville has had
no saloon. Now she sports metro
politan airs and has one. The peo-
pie generally do not take kindly to
it, Some of the citizens circulated
q temperance pledge-a real strong
one-binding the signers not to go
into the saloon, or sell the keeper
anything or encourage him in any
way. The pledge has been signed
by nearly everybody in the commu-
nifty. Mr., Reese, Superintendent
of one Of the mines lately made a
speech to his men in which he said
he would discharge any Of them
who drank liquors. Anderson &
Farmer have made u similar dec
laration. Cambridge Je6er8oajaa.
