About - Advertisements. There
are scores of advertisements In our
papers of wonderfur remedies, the secret
of which will be imparted on the receipt
of a few postage stamps or a small sum
of money. In general these things are
all humbugs. Nineteeff-twentleths of
the unwary who are caught. by them find
themselves hoaxed, as was. the simple
country youth who believed an adver
tisement which offered, on receipt of
fifty cents, to show any ono how to write
without pen or ink. He sent his fifty
cents, and received the simple direction,
"Write with a lead pencil." Occasional
ly a more useful answer comes. Not
long since a dyspeptic was beguiled by
an advertisement to send to a New York
individual a dollar, for which sum a
cure for dyspepsia 'vas promises. Ho
received a printed slip with these words,

Ohio Slaeksrater Improve m ent.
—The Cincinnati Times" and ChrOniele
revives ii.plan devised several N vears ago
by a Mr. Leavitt, of LouisFill°, for the
slackwater improvement of the Ohio
River. The plan as stated by the paper
mentioned, was well received, and it
was proposed - that a Subsequent and
larger committee should be raised to
consider the subject, which from some
cause was not done ; and the next year
or two the rider was at a good stage, and
the interest in its improvement died out.
The Timesand Chronicle says: "The plan
mot with great favor, not only among
experienced steamliioatmen, but with
some eminent engineers who had exam
ined it, includineMr. Snowden, late en •
giueer of the Cincinnati Water Works.
The plan was slackwater, but with &dna
and locks entirely unlike those now in
use, , A part of any 250 feet of the dam
was of iron; in sections, hinged to a plat
form in the river bottom, so made as to,
be easily dropped down on the approach
of high water, and taken up when re
quired. The locks, were of such a con
struction that they' could Jam boats in
much less lime than is r uired by those
of ordinary construe ou, and so made
that the boats in pass g touched no ma
sonry, but only elastic surfaces, similar
to the ferry-boat landings in New York,
Brooklyn and Jersey City. The estimat
ed cost from Pittsburgh to Cairo was
about twelve millions, or only one-third
the estimated cost of a railroad for same
extent." ,•---
The Case or Dr. Sehappe.—The
case of Dr. Schceppe, who was tried for
poisoning the woman to whom be was
engaged, the object being to secure her
property, and was convicted, Is again
before the public. He has been three
years in jail, but Governor Geary hag ,
thus far refused to appoint a day for his
execution, and now _a strong appeal is
tirade for his pardon. The case has been
before medical conventions repeatedly,
and in the opinion of medical men there'
was not evidence enough against the ac
cused to convict him of the crime with
which he was charged. Recently, In s
somewhat similar case in Pennsylvania,
the judge refuXed to receive the testimo
ny. The principal witness against Dr.
Schreppe was on the stand in the Whar
ton case last week in regard to the anal
ysis of the contents of Gen. Ketchtim's
stomach.

of the Necessity ibriltalfacelna
tion.—Re-eseeleetion,ssystio JOurinsi,
"Is the only reliable evidence we can
have, that complete vaocinn protectiOn
has been ohteked." •
To obtain this evidence re-vaccination
is necessary. Re-vaccination solves the
query—removes the doubts in any given
case, and decides the question, whether
the vaccination is complete, incomplete
or there is non-protection.
No person doubts the existence of
varioloid. The fact that varieloid does
exist is positive proof of the protective
power of vaccination. Partial protection
yields varioloid; total unprotection
yields varlets in persons exposed tb the
variolons contagion.
If we possessed._ no means of protection,
varioloid could not exist; but varlols
would exist with undisturbed dominion
over the health and lives of the people,
and would constantly. multiply. As it
would increase, our population would
decrease.
The fact that vaccidation may. in in
stances, protect only partially, or for -a
limited time, or forsooth, may "wear
out," is no evidence against the protective
power. As clothing covers nakedness,
and more clothing compensates for In
sufficient covering of the body, so is the
proctective power of vaccination and rat
vaccination to the unprotected "and Par
tially protectedlrom _
All things of the earth are perishable.
Some things, from the wear and tear of
time, require repair or renewal sooner
than others. But because all earthly
entities do wear out, wo cannot, from
this, conclude that they did not previ
ously exist, nor that they should not be
repaired nor renewed. Likewise, if vac
cination is suspected to be incomplete
or worn out, the remedy is re-vaccine=
tion.
Therefore, when a vaccinator is called
upon to decide whether a family ls, or is
not protected, Instead of trusting in ab
struse theories, or speculative conjec
tures. let bisn rather be practical and re
vaccinate ; and then he can feel "as con
fident of their safety from an attack o
variola, as he can of anything in the
uture,"

which we can benefit our readers more
than by recommending to them for gen
eral use Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. It
is adapted to almost all the purposes eta

Child Lost.—Two weeks ago, last
Wednesday morning, the Mercury staid •
at zero, and though it moderated some,
a wind sprung up, and the air was tilled
with snow flakes making it very cold.
A German citizen, named Hooprieh
started to the woods to cut a pole to pre
pare for butchering. His little boy.
four years old, saw the direction ho .
took, and after he had gone sometime,
slipped out at the gate and followed.
The fa.her returned at noon, not having
seen the child. He was missed, but
supposed to be at some neighbor's
house, rmd was not hunted for until
towards night. He could not be found,
and the town was aroused, and squads
sent out in all directions with lanterns*
but to no purpose. Next morning the
search was renewed. Just before noon
the little fellow was found by Frederick
Moffat, wht;was out gunning. His dog
discovered him, and attracted his at
tention by barking. The little fellow
bad wandered about a mile and a half
from town, and had laid, exhausted, on
a pile of sawdust, in a clearing, not two
bundled yards from the house of Josiah
Chase, on the Spangler farm. Ho was
lying on his face with his knees under
him, with his left hand under his body,
and the right one on the back of his
bead. He was without mittens, and
only dressed in his common clothes.
When found he was entirely uncon
scious, with blood oozing from his nose,
and no 'pulse perceptible except at' the
temple. He had beepout in the cold for
over twenty-four hods's, and had he not
been very fleshy and full of animal life
he would have perished. He remained
unconscious twenty-four hours, but is
rapidly recovering. He ;nay lose the
first joints of his fingers on his right
band, but will not otherwise show the
effects of his severe freezing.—New Phil.

Children's Arms.—For the admo
nition of mothers we publish what a dis
tinguished physician of Paris says in re
gard to permitting children to go with
naked arms. He says, " I believe that,
during the twenty years that I have prac
ticed my profession ; twenty thobsand
children have been carried to the ceme
teries, a sacrifice to the absurd custom
of exposing their arms. Put the bulb
of a thermometer into a baby's mouth
stud the mercury rises to ninety degrees.
Now carry the same to its little hand; if
the arms be bare, and the evening cool,
the mercury alit sink to 50°. Of course
all the blood that flows through these
arms must fall from ten to forty degrees
below the temperature of the heart.—
Need I say, when these currents of the
blood flow back to the chest the child's
vitality must be more or less comprom
ised? And need I add that we ought not
to be surprised at its, frequent recurring
affections of the tongue. throat, or stom
ach? I have seen more than one child,
with habitual cough or hoarseness, en
tirely relieved by simply keeping the
hands and artmkwarm."
A Cold Snap.—Last Wednesday was
decidedly chilly in this region, and on
the following morning the mercury in
the thermometer had fallen to 10 degrees
below zero. At MIIOI.IIIO, this county. It
went down ,. to 15 degrees below that
point. In other localities, west and
north, it was still much colder. On
Thursday it moderated some little but
still the air was bracing and heavy over
coats and huge fires were everywhere in
demand. On Friday it was still a little
warmer, and in tho morning a slight
snow fell, not enough however to pre
vent the rabbit bunters from sallying
out,and making things lively on the hills
surrounding Beaver. During that day
considerable snow fell, and the sleigh
bells, in the afternoon and night could
be board in all directions.
'lantern Take Illionee.—lt should
be kept in mind that the time for kill
ing pheasants and partridges expired on

The Lauding of the Pilgrims.—
Last Thursday, December 21st, was the
two hundred and fifty-first anniversary
of the landing of the Pilgrims. What
ohanges have taken place in the country
pf their adoption since that event!
Meeting or the Bar.—The mem
bers of the Bar of Beaver county met at
the Court House, in Beaver. on Wed
nesday evening, December 1871, for
the purpose of giving expression to their
opinion in relation to the adoption, by
the Legislature, of the report of the Civil
Code Commissioners.
The meeting was organized by ap
pointing S. B. Wilson, esq., Chairman,
and .1. EL NieCreay, osq., Secretary.
• On motion, a committoe consisting of
E. It. Daugherty, E. P. Kuhn, J. It.
Harrah, Frank Wilson and J. H. Ste
venson, esqrs., was appointed to prepare
Resolutions expressive of the sense of
the meeting.
The Committee through their Chair
man, reported the follow ing.resolutions,
which, after discussion, were unani
mously adopted : -
Ist. That the work of the revisers is in
direct and palpable violation of the Act
Of April 10, 18d7, under and by virtue of
which they were appointed.
2d. That In violation of the express
terms of said Act, the revisers have so
Clanged the phraseology of et/dating Acts
Of Assembly "as to impair, alter and at
feet their true intent and meaning."
3d. That the attempted enmity of the
"code" Is effected at the expense, not
only of Clearness but of sense.
4th. That many of the proposed new
Acts are cumbersome, incomplete and
Insensible.
6th. That the work upon the whole has
beep done in a careless, illiterate and
bungling manner, and its iidoption by
the l i slettire would bring merited re
proach and ridicule Upon the ingal-plo
fession of-the State, and moreover would
be an irreparable calamity to the people
of the Commonwealth, by unsettling the
law and leading to great uncertainty,
endless strife and litigation.
6th. That for the reason stated above,
and many others that might he given,
we are unqualifiedly opposed to the pass
age of the "Code" as reported, either as
a whole or in part.
7th. That the Chairman be authortiliti

pointed by the Legislatuke, to revise the
report of the Civil Code Cotp missioners,

'Early Steamboat&sig.—From 1786
to 1811 the only transportation upon die
Mississippi was by means cf flatboats
and barges, three or four months being
consumed in making the trip from Now
Orleans to Louisville. The first vessel
ever built upon tho Western waters was
the brig "Dean," launched at Allegheny
city, Pa., 1806. In ISU the first steam
boat on Western waters was built by
Messrs. Fulton & Livingston, at Pitts
burgh. It was a propeller with two
masts, called the "Orleans." She made
her first trip to Now Orleans in fourteen
days. "Comet" and "Vesuvius" fol
loWed, and the "Enterprise" was the
fourth Western steamboat,being builtut
Brownsville, Pa., in 1814. The "Wash
ington" was tho fifth, being built at
Wheeling, Va., and Brownsville, Pa.
She had two decks; being, the first of that
kind. She was a success, and was the
pioneer boat of that class on Western
waters.
M. E. Church Burued.—Taylor's
M. E. church, shunted on the National
road, a mile east of Centerville, this
county, was destroyed by lire on . Stitt
day last. The tiro originated In the roof,
from (it is supposed) sparks from the
chimney. It commenced timid. 9a. in.
while Sunday school was in "messiou,
and. notwithstanding strenuous efforts
were made to stay the flames, the entire
building, together with the furniture,
itc., was destroyed, nothing but the bare
walls being left standing. The loss, we
presume, is between $2,500 and $3,000,
on which there is not, we learn, any in
surance.—lVashington Review and Ex

AFTER TllB BATTLE.
Nothing can be more demoralizing In
the long run than lynch law. And ye'
lynch law often originabis in a burst of
generous indignation which is not will
ing to suffer a bold oppnissor to
by, means of corrupt and co=
courts. It is oftener born of - fear, B o th.
motives powerfully agitated the people
of the region round about Chit
as night drew on after Ralph's acqautd
They wore justly indignant that Ralph
had been made the victim of such a con
spiracy, and they were frightenedet the
unseen danger to the corrimueliy tram
such a band as that of Small's. It was
certain that they did not know.' the full
extent of the danger as yet. Atifit what
Small might do with a jury, 'or, what.
Pete Jones might do with a sheriff, was
a question. I must not detain the read
er to tell, how the mob rose. Nobody
knows how such things come about.
Their origin is as inexplicable** that of
an earthquake. But, at any rate, a rope
was twice put round Small's neck dur
ing that night, and both Meat Small
'was saved only by the nerve and address
of Ralph. who bad learned how unjust
mob law may bo. As for Small, ha nei
ther trembled when they Wore ready to
hang him, nor looked relieved when he
was saved, nor showed the slightest flush
of penitence or gratitude. lie bore him
sel fin a quiet, gentlenaanlyway through
out, like the admirable villain that ho
was.
He waived a prelimlninyexamination
-the next day; his father went his ball,
cad he forfeited his bail and disappeare d
from the county and (rem the horizon
of my story., Two repdZtn concerning
Small have been in cireulation = one that
he was running a fard-ban . it in San
Francisco . , the other that be was curing
consumption by inhallition and electric
ity here in New York. If this latter
were true, it would lee it an open
question whether Ralph:did well to save
him from the gallows, , Pete Jones and
Bill, as usually happens to the 'rougher
villains, wont to prisott, and when their
terms had expired moved to Pike coun
ty
, Missouri.
But it is about Hannali that you want
to hear, and thltt r *wit to tell. She
went straight from the court-room to
Flat Creek, climbed to her chamber,
packed all her earthly winds, consisting
chiefly of a few family relies, in a hand
kerchief' and turned her back ou the
house of Means forever. At the gate abe
met the old woman, who shook her fist
in the girl's face and gave her a parting
benediction In the words: "Yon niis'a
hie ongrateful critter, you, go "hing! I
am glad to be shed of you!" At the
barn she met Bud, and lie told her good
by with a little huskiness in his voice,
while a tear glistened in her eye. Bud
had been a friend in need, and such a
friend one does not leave without a
pang.
"Where are you going? Can I "
"No, no!" And with that she hasten
ed on, afraid that Bud would offer to
hitch up the roan colt. And she did not
want to add to his domestic unhappiness
by compromising him in that way.
It was dusk and raining when she left.
The hours were long, acid the road was
lonely, and after the revelations of that
day it did not seem wholly safe. But
trom the moment that she found herself
free, her heart had been ready to break
with an impatient home-Ackness. Wh it
though there might he robbers in the
woods? IVhat though there were ten
rough miles to travel? What though
the rain was in her face? What though
she had not tasted food since the morn
ing of that, exciting day? Fiat Creek
and bondage were behind; freedom,
mother Shocky, and home wore before
her, and her foet grew lighter with the
thought. And if she needed any other
Joy, it was to know that the master was
free. And he would come ! And so she
traversed the weary distance, and so she
inquired and found the house, the beau
tiful, -homely old house of beautiful,
homely old Nancy Sawyer, and knocked
and was admitted, and fell down, faint
and weary, at her blind mother's feet,
and laid her tired head in her mother's
lap and wept, and wept like a child, and
'said, '!l ' m free, I'm free! " while the
mother's tears baptized hor face, and the
mother's trembling fingers combed out
her tresses. And Shocky stood by her
and cried: "I knowed God wouldn't
forget you, and Metier?'
Hannah was ready nowtodoanything
by which she omild;support her mother
and Shocky. She was strong, and frier
eti to toil. She was willing and cheer
ful, and she would gladly have gone to
service If by that means she could have
supported the family._ - And. _for 'Usk
matter, her mother was 'nearly able to
support herself by Ler knitting. But
Hannah had": been carefully educated
when young, and at that moment the
old public schools were being organised
into a graded school, and the good min
ister, who shall be nameless, because he
is, perhaps, still living in Indiana, and
who In Methodist parlance was called
"the preacher in charge of Lewisburg
station"—this good minister and Miss
Nancy Sawyer got Hannah a place as
teacher of a primary department. And
then a little house with four rooms was
rented, and a little, a very little furni
ture was put into ft, and the old, sweet
home wag established again. The father
was gone, never to tome back again.
Hut the rest were hero. And somehow

CllAPTtilt XXXII!
INTO TILE LIGHT.
For two weeks longer Ralph taught at
the Flat Creek -school-house. He was
everybody's hero. And he was Bud's
idol. Ile did what ho could to get
Bud and Martha together, and though
Bud always "saw her safe home" after
this, and called on her every Sunday
evening, yet, to save 'his life, he could
not forget his big lists and his big feet
long enongh to say just what he wanted
to say, and what Miss Martha most
wanted him to say. At the end of two
weeks Ralph found himself exceedingly
weary of Flat Creek. and, exceedingly
glad to bear from Mr. Means that the
- school money had "gin aout." It gave
him a good excuse to return to Lewis
burg, where his heart and his treasure
were. A certain sense of delicacy' had
kept him from writing to iliumah just
yet.
When hegot to Lewisburg ho had
good news. His uncle, ashamed of his
previous peglect, and perhaps with an
eye to his nephew's popularity, had got
ten him the charge of the grammar de
partment In the new graded school in
the village. So be quietly arranged to
board at a boarding-house." His aunt
could not have him about, of which fact,
he was very glad. She 'could not-but
feel, she said, that he might have taken
better care of Walter than he did, when
they wore only four, miles apart. He
did ne t, h as ten to call on Hannah. Why
s h ou ld h e ? He sent her a message, of
no Consequence in itself, by Nancy Saw
yer{ Then he took posaession of his
school; and then, on the evening of the
first day of school, as he had appointed
to himself, he went to see - Hannah

who had seen Ralph that afternoon, had
guessed that he was going to see Han
nah. It's wonderful how much enjoy
ment a generous heart can get out of the
happiness of others. Is that not what he
meant when he said of such as Miss
Sawyer that they should have a hundred
fold In this life for all their seed - Sees?
Did not Miss Nancy enjoy a hundred
weddings, and love and have the love of
five hundred children T And so Miss
Nancy just happened over at Mrs. Thom
son's humblehome, and, just in the mat
ter-of-course way, asked that lady and
Shocky to come over to bee- house.
Shocky wanted Hannah to come too.
Brit Hannah blushed a little, and said
that she would rather not.
And when she was left alone, Hannah
fixed her hair two or three times, and

everything else but what he wanted to
talk about. And then the conversation
drifted back to Flat Creek, and to the
walk through .tbe pasture, and to the
boa-alder tree, and to the painful talk in

Organ
to write this story, I hive Been anxions
to know how it was going to come out.
Well, there were very few invited. It
took place at ten in the morning. Tho
"preacher-in-charge" came, of tsmrse.
Miss Nancy Sawyer was there. But
Ralph's uncle was away, and Aunt Ma
tilda bad agora throat an d couldn't come.
Perhaps the memory of the het that she
had refused Mrs. Thomson, the pauper,
a bed for two nights, affected her throat.
But Miss -Nancy.: and her sister; were
there,andthnpreacher. And that wag
besides the family, and Bud and Martha.
Of course Bud and Martha came. And
driving Martha to a wedding in a lam•
per" was the one opportunity Bud need-
His hands were busy, his e big boots
were out ofsight, and it was somily to slip
front Ralph's lova affair to his own, that
Bud some bow, in pulling Martha Haw
kins's shawl about her, stammered out
half a proposal, which Martha, generous
soul, took for the whole ceremony, and
accepted. And Bud was so happy that
Ralph guessed from his face and- voice
that the agony was over, and Bud was
betrothed at last to the "gal as was a gal."
And after Ralph and Hannah were
Married—there was no trip, Ralph only
changed his boarding-place and became
head of tho house at Mrs. Thomson's
thereafter—after it was all over, Bud
came to Mr. Ilartsook, and, snickering
just a little, said as how ashlrn and Mar
the had fixed it all up, and now they
wanted to ax his advice; and Martha
proud but blushing, came up and nodde
assent. Bud said as how as ho hadn't
got no book-larnin' nor nothin', and as
how as he wanted to be somethin' ' and
put in his best licks fer Him, you know.
And that Marthy, she was of the same
way of thinkin', and that was a blcasin'.
And the Squire was a goin' to marry
aglu', and Marthy would ruther vacate.
And his mother and Mirandy was stitch
as ho wouldn't take no wito,tri. And he
thought as how Mr. II artsook might
think of some way or some place where,
he and Marthy !pout make a livin' fer
the present, and put in their best licks
for Him, you know.
Ralph thought a moment. He was
about to make an allusion to Hercules
and the Au can stables, but he remain-.
bared. that Bud. would not underhand'
it, though it might remind Martha
something she had seen at the East, the
time she was to Basting.
"Bud, my dear friend," said Ralph,
"it looks a little hard to ask you to take
a new wife"—here Bud looked admir
ingly at Martha—",to the poor-house.
But I don't know anywhere where you
can do so much good for Christ as by
taking charge of that place, and I can
get the appointment for you. The new
commissioners want Just such a roan."
"What d'ye say, Moxthy ?" said Bud.
"Why, somebody ought to do fir the
poor, and I should like to do it."
And so Hercules cleaned the Augeati
stables.
And so my humble, hdmely ; Hoosier
story of twenty years ago draws to a
close, and not wit! t regret, I take
leave of Ralph,and Hannah, and Sbodcy,
and Bud, and Martha, and Miss Nancy,
