of laughter from the little folks. A row

Mischief from The Poultiee,

["Old Practitioner" in Chambers Journal. I
Let us commence with that finest of do
nestle institutions, the poultice-bread, lin
seed, or mustard : soothing, fomenting, or
stimulating, according to circumstances
There are few remedies in the pharmaeo-
peia of wider beneficial application in sur
gerry and medicine than this; yet terrible
mischief often follows its injudicious use. A
man has a cough, or his child wheezes with
Brightness on the chest, and on goes a
poultice straightway.
So far, SO good; in all probability they
wake up next morning greatly relieved.
But the father is off to his
daily business, and the child runs about
and plays es usual, while inee they feel
SO much better-neither takes any precau-
ton, by extra clothing or otherwise, toguard
against the consequences of the poultice it
self The skin and subiacent tissues have
been rendered lax by the heat and moisture,
the blood-vessels are dilated, and the circu-
latim of the part increased; 10 use a common
expression, the pores are open, and there
is thus tenfold liability to catch cold, espe-
cially in winter time, when these things most
frequently happen.
Ordinary colds which are said to have
arunn into congestion c. the lungs, bronchitis
or pneumonia, may often be traced to theii
serious or fatal termination through the un.
defended use Of pouitice.

DIDN'T LIKE THE METHOD
But Heartily Concurs I'm the
Result.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION
There seems to be some disappoint-
ment felt among the people of both
parties over the action of the County
Convention of Saturday.
There were doubtless other parties
willing to accept places on the county
ticket, and who stood as good a
chance of election, perhaps, as those
named by the Committee, but the
action of the Committee and the too
hasty adoption of their report pre-
vented the opportunity of placing
their names before the people.
That only two or three men should
be allowed to run for as many offices
in order to be elected, is n mistaken
idea, as the result will demonstrate.
For the House of Delegates, Bat
telle district, very stronghold of
Democracy, could have furnished a
man who in my humble judgement
would have made fair race, and
should by all means have been given
a chance.
! refer to Mr.. Eugenlus Barb, who
had signified his willingness to suffer
for his country if necessary, and
who is honest and competent, and
well worthy of the place he aspired to-
True, Jno. +. Price, the Republican
nominee, is worthy mana strong
candidate if you please--but is he
more worthy than Baily, or Fast, or
those against whom the Committee
recommended.
That the Committee transcribed
it's authority or assumed preroga-
tive for which it was not created,
there is little doubt, and that the
Convention in adopting the report
did not fully comprehend its effect,
was also quite apparent, but the
thing is done and we are not disposed
to make further complaint, as mis-
takes are easier made than rectified.
All we can do now is to accept the
result of free ballot and fair count
and bow to the majesty of the will OF
the powers that be. GRANT.

OBITUARY ".

Died Aug 4th., at his home in Mon
ongalia county, A. l.. Henderson,
aged q years, months and 90
days
The deceased was young man of
great merit and promise, and was
universally respected and esteemed
by those who knew him; and best by
those who knew him best. He began
the study of dentistry about one year
ago under Dir. Morris, and such was
his capacity and assiduous applica-
ton to study that he passed with al
most unparalleled swiftness, into the
requirements of his chosen profess
sion. But while thus ascending the
glittering ladder of progress, promise
and prosperity, he suddenly felt the
clutch of the strong arm of disease,
and so returned to his home. And
there, in spite of the skill of eminent
physicians, and watched by an anX-
ious father, a kind and tender mother,
loved and loving brothers and sisters,
he sank into that dreamless sleep
called death. VIC. c. IL G.. II. M.
