Influence of the Soil on Health.

The influence of the soil upon the health
of those living upon it, is brought out very
plainly during the prevalence of epidemic
diseases. That malarial diseases Qike
intermittent fevers) originate from the soil,
is already accepted; and recent investiga-
tions show pretty conclusively that the
germs of Cholera, Abdominal Typhus,
Yellow Fever, and the plague are in some
way connected with the soil, which is
daily corrobortated by letters from all parts
of the country, stating the marvellous effect
PERUNA has on those diseases, and in
their convalescent state. John e. Court
neg, Of Cory, Pa, says: Il am still get
ting better, thanks to your PERUNA."

From the Toledo Blade,
Wheeling & Lake Erie.

Scarcely more than a twelve month has
elapsed since the Inauguration of this
road and the success which has attended
the line has been almost unparalleled in
the annals of railroad history. The
prompt manner in which everything nee
essary to further the convenience in the
handling of their business has been push
ed forward, finds everything at this day
in shape as near resembling complete
ness as could be expected. Everything
in the form of buildings in connection
with their passenger and freight business
has long since been completed and
description given them in last seasons
edition of the Blades annual, and but
little now remains to be done in this par.
ticular except the erection of an engine
house, which will be commenced in the
near future. The rapidly increasing
business of the road has necessitated the
building Of two miles Of additional side
track within the city limits during the
past year, at a cost of $4,000. A large
amount of this has been done at Man
haitian Junction, whore all the business
of the road for Northern Michigan and
Detroit is turned over to the Toledo &
Ann Arbor Road. On the East Side the
company has contracted track from the
main line to the Ironville dock, the dis.
tance of which is about a half mile, and
which affords them direct outlet for
the pursuance of their lake business in
the coal and lumber trade, which, by
next season, will doubtless assume vast
proportions. The repairs to this dock
has caused an additional outlay of at
least $4,000. During the year the COM
pany have added to their rolling stock
four locomotives, 200 box cars and 500
coal cars. While the management are
10th to give the exact figures of their
earnings, it is stated, on good authority,
that the business of the road for the
month of September, 'S3, had increased
four folds over that of the previous year.
Among the improvements contemplated
for the ensuing year is the construction
of train house, which will be built on
the rear Of the depot, covering two
tracks and extending out about 200 feet
by about 90 feet in width. The con.
struction of an extensive docking on the
Fast side, Immediately below the bridge,
will also be commenced as soon as the
demand for it is required, when their
lumber and coal business has fairly COM
menced.

Obituaries.
All matter under this head ICil be charged
one cent a lUord.

Mention was made in the last issue of
this paper, of the death Of E. B. Howk,
Esq, of this village, who died on Monday
evening at quarter past eight o'clock, The
funeral services, as announced, were to
have taken place at his late residence, but
owing 10 the feeble state of Mrs. Howk's s
health, it was deemed advisable to con-
duct them at the NJ. E. Chnrch of which
he was one of the leading members, hav-
ing been connected with that and the one
in s. E. Wellington, where he formerly re-
sided for forty-five years.
The text chosen and the remarks made
by Rev. Mr. Warner, the pastor, were in
accord with the thoughts and feelings Of
the hearers.
Mr.. Howk was born in Lee, Berkshire
Co.. Mass, December 16, 1912, and was the
oldest of six children. His parents remov-
ed to New York State when he was but q
boy. Here he was married in Auburn at
the age of twenty.one to Miss Helen Rus
sell who was but sixteen. The youthful
couple emigrated the following year to
Wellington which has since been their
home.
He was the father of eight children, six
sons and two daughters, two ofwhom died
in their country's service, and daughter
some twelve years since; the grandfather
of twenty-four; and the great grandfather
of seventeen, numerous progeny who
will never again gather under his hospit-
able roof at the Christmas time, or to cele-
brate the various anniversaries, for he was
of social nature and loved to gather them
about him as often as possible.
He was a man much respected in the
community for his sterling principles and
moral worth, and his removal, we are sure,
will be deeply felt by the wide circle of
friends he had drawn about him. He had
been steadily failing in health for nearly a
year, but was not confined to his bed until
December last, since which time he has de
voted his remaining strength to putting his
"house in order" Nothing was left un-
done in regard 10 his temporal affairs, but
with justice and wisdom he gave, before
his death, in equal division the goods with
which God had favored him 10 his chill
dren.
He spoke of the coming change with
great calmness, as one who had finished
his course and was ready to meet the
Father. Truly, BLESSED are the dead who
die in the Lord" H.R.

Submerged.

There is no one to hinder the Street
Commissioners grading and filling in
where they think best, and when by so
doing they cover the outlet to private
sewer that drained ones cellar, and
when in process of time, the SHOWS
melt and the rains fall and the floods
come and force all the surface water in
its vicinity to follow natures law of
seeking the lowest level, and that level
happens to be ones one cherished, lowest
room that was dry as a floor in the flood
Of 1883, it is all the more annoying be-
cause there is no one who can be justly
blamed and lawfully responsible. The
cellar rises in importance the lower it
sinks under water. One does not give
much thought to it so long as it is
safe and dry storehouse, but once find
it wadeing-place with some things
disposed to drown, and others to rise
and float; and attempt the work of
rescuing your stores of family supplies;
your furnace fire choked out, and
your coal saturated so that it will sput.
ter and steam awhile before getting to
business in the CRATES; cross a pond to
reach your fruit and vegetables; fish
up utensils that would be ruined by
rust; calculate the chances of a further
rise that would inundate your cupboard
of pickles, preserves, and choicer pro-
visions; and speculate upon the proba-
bilities of this recurring before new
and circuitous drain can be constructed
to reach some other outlet that will be
beyond the interference of any "path-
MASTER" and the cellar becomes, not an
elevated subject, but depressing and
certainly not dry one. How could
anyone know that this state of things
would occur just in the season when
frost and mud and cold would make
drain-digging experiments as expensive

had compelled cellar-owners to provide
in July for the possible emergencies and
accidents Of February would have
brought showers of blessings on the
devoted heads Of the city fathers, just
now. The feeling around for the most
feasible route for new cellar drain,
and putting the spade into the readily
yielding clay when mittens and over
coats were not needed, would have been
a pastime and continued holiday un-
der temperate summer sun. Water is
valuable element in the material
world. There is no getting around
that long-establlshed fact; but unre-
strained or mis-directed and allowed to
90 its own ways IL is most inconyeni-
eDt one. You have admired it in bulk
and In small quantities a great many
times, but this muddy Opaque fluid

that gives you no hint of its. depths, is
abominable. If there were only some
rats to be exterminated by this over
flow, or rather underhow! But there
has not been suspicion of one about,
and the cat has disgusted look, walks
softly in safe places, and does great
deal of scullery work about her paws.
When our public sewers are con-
structed let them be deep enough to re-
ceive the auxiliaries, the cellar drains,
and large enough to prevent any setting
back of their contents into cellars and
easements which they are intended to
aid in keeping dry, and may the good
time coming be this year before a
repetition of the flood Of February,
1884.

ANNUAL ROUNDUP.

Our sales of Overcoats have been the largest
we have ever had, but still we have nearly 100
on hand, which we will sell at jobbing rates,
either singly or by the half dozen.
ALI heavy Winter Clothing, Caps, Gloves, Nit
tens and Underwear, will be sold at wholesale
prices for the next sixty days, in order to reduce
stock to make room for Spring Goods.
We do not advertise the largest stock in the

THE Constitution hits the matter square
on the head in its last issue when it says;
"Give boy plenty of money, and dress
him like dandy, and nine chances out of
ten he is bound to go the devil Industry,
mental or physical labor, is the great civil
izer of man. Habits Of honest daily toll
make man know the value of money
and make judicious expenditure of the
same. AS rule the boys who are taught
to work make the best men, while idlers
and loafers make criminals and wrecks
There are large number of boys in

They neither work nor go to school. 1t
would be benefit to them if they were
made to work at some trade, if they got
nothing but their board and clothes, or if

Ind desperate measures, but when we re-
member the truth that idleness is the

4 Mass Convention Of American Invent
OrS.

A most remarkable Convention will be
held in Cincinnati, beginning March %,
1884, in the Great Music Hall and Ex-
position Building of that city. During
the past two or three years the great
nonopolies of the country have made
atrong efforts to destroy the present wise
ind benefcent Patent Laws, and there
have been none to antagonize the repre-
sentations thus made. To this end the
INVENTORS of this country have determin-
cd to form a permanent organization,
wholly and solely for the purpose OF be-
ng able by combined efforts to show
Congress and the people chat it will be
detrimental to the interests of the coun-
try to accede to the demands of the
nonopolists. There is a universal feel
ing among inventors that something must
be done to prorect their interests, and
The Convention to be held will seek to
adopt some united form of action, or
form State Associations. All inventors
md patentees are interested in this move
,nent, and all who can attend, and desire
: TO do SO, should at once address the
Chairman of the Executive Committee,
j. s. Zerbe, Editor of American Inventor,
1888 Fifth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, who
will forward each applicant the badge to
entitle the holder to admission on the
lloor as delegate. The citizens of Gin
cinnati, with their usual liberality, have
