EXCITING ELEcTIoN.-We have noted
several reports Of the Emmitsburg Railroad
election held in that place ON the 30,h ult.,
but not one ofthem has come up to the re-
l,uiremeAts Of the case.
To state that it was an exciting election
is probably true. but it embodies enough in
one word to burst it into a catacysmatic
chaos of ragged vowels and consonanls. 1t
was cyclonic.
The issue was joined with President Elder;
II was Elder against the remainder and the
remainder won all shat Elder didn't take, on
account Of which result said remainder is
unhappy. When Emmitsburg docs make
up it's mind TO shake things up, it can put
down more city-like riot and racket to the
given supcr6cics, than any town Of which
VIC wot.
President Elder will hold over another
year and will, we trust, be able to publish

such debilitating influences
During the process Of dentition great
changes take place in the organism Of the
child. The sympathies between its different
parts are more extensive and more delicate,
and they are peculiarly susceptible to dis.
ease. The brain and nervous system are in
a state of almost constant irritation The
child is peevish, fretful, cross, and requires
especial attention and care. Its gums, poor
thing, are swollen and painful, but not nee
essarily an object Of sufficient importance
to excite the anxiety of friends, or prove 10
it OF any serious Inconvenience or danger
Much more danger Is there in the means
employed TO relieve it
The little creature Is drugged with pare
goric, cordial. laudanum, or some quack
soothing syrup day after day, and night
after night, gradually increasing the guam.

brain, from over stimulation and fatigue,
becomes congested, infamed or diseased,
and the misguided parents discover when
too late, that they have caused the death Of
their child. Repeated instances of this kind
have attracted the attention of many physi-
clans, and it certainly Is time so injurious
and fatal a practice should be done away
with. We speak earnestly, for the evil is
neither understood nor regarded in any
other light than a remote contingency, not
