Few persons are aware of the numerous towns and cities that the river branch of the, Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad passes through, in the stretch of one hun dred miles along the Ohio river, unless they pasaAver the line. Since the build • lug bf this road many of the old places have grown with great rapidity, and new towns. have Sprang into being at numer onPaintas. iyhlch le - fair, to be populous and Important plocbester, East Idierpool, =Wells • ' Steubenville lacj ioultt seem to be thrifty, ea ly the, latter. Its manufacturing interests are assuming mammoth`proportions; and consideraWe wealth is centered Ahem Nearly all the towns on the Ohio river are located on the right , side. Wellsburg and Wheeling are:the only places of note on the opposite shore. • Wheeling has been frequently described. Wellsburg is prettily located, ' and contains some very good buildings. Most of the trade appears-to be of a local ( character. The town is very much like the Most of places in Virginia. We believe not long since a survey was made from the "Pan Handle" route at Steubenville to Wellsburg, to build a rail road; and a branch was also proposed to be built to Bethany, the seat of Bethany College, seven miles from Wellsburg. but it is stated objection was made to its being built because it would be better for the students that:the college be located at least several miles from the railroad. . The institution is handsomely located on high ,ground- The immense pile of buildings is very imposing, and must have,, cost a large sum of money. The style of architecture is the Collegiate Gothic. and the entire front is four hun dred and twenty. feet. The attendance last yew was one hundred and eighteen students. The, graduating class of 1869 nutabe.red. seventeen, representing seven teen, States. During the twenty-four years - of its existence the graduates num ber three .himdred and seventy-two. Rey. W. K. Pendleton is President of the Faculty, assisted by a number of teachers. The spirit of the late Bishop • Alexander Campbell Is ' still felt in the community, and considerable wealth.is enjoyed by his descendants, '. living in the town. The rules for ' _ the government of the college are quite liberal, admitting students from - all denominations. Two miles beyond Bethany is the cele brated Castleman Run Camp grotuid, which has been used for religionspur poses ~ fi ft y-five years. Camp meetings have been held in this grove *hay year duringtha u tjteriod, except twice or thrice. The sari gathering has., just closed. after an excellent meeting of a week's duration. Thegrove is peCuliarly form ed,-owing to the course of the run, and resembles a half circle. On every side bluff , hills rise, with a dent on either side by which the ground Is entered.' The hallowed memories of half a century saves it from being abandoned for a more eligibleone. 1 Generation after generation of several' old and influential families have come, pto the spot to worship God. Most of the tents are constructed of boards and are cozy and comfortable. The families occupying the tents are gen erally welt-to-do in worldly goods. Hospi tality, in the fullest sense of that term, al ways abounds. In consequence of the location of the ground, so far from rail road communication, the great number of carriages and other modes of convey mice around the camp. is a sight rarely seen these modern days. Right close to the grove is the Methodist church, which is used in , case of rain, and was found very convenient during the rain storm last Saturday evening....: • The ground is new the property of Rev. Garrett Jones, a min ister of the West Virginia Conference, who was pres ent laboring assiduously to promote the interests of , the meeting. Among the princely,heartedienters. with their fami lies and visiting guests, were Dr. Joshua W. Gist and Joseph Gist, brothers-in-law of Rev. Dr. Joseph Boyle, formerly pas tor of Liberty street M. E. church, Pitts burgh, C. H. 'Beall, Esq., a nephew of the Gists; and his honored parentai Mr. Was. L. Miller, who resides in fine style near Welisburgh, and David" Worthing toh, brother of Rev. S. G. J. Worthing -2ton, of Illinois, formerly the esteemed pastor of Liberty street M. E. church, of this city. These families are among the 'elite of that ppnimunity, wealthy and in fluential. • The camp-meeting commenced Thurs day, 26th nit.„ and closed Thursday fol lowing; , the..2d inst.

The night discourse was delivered by Rev. T. McCleary, of Brad. docksfield, who awakened much interest in the discussion of his subject. At the close of his sermon several persons pre sented themselves for prayers. Monday the first public service was an experience meeting, after which the Rev. Thomas M. Hudson, Of East Springfield, Ohio, an old and highly esteemed minis ter, preached a Sermon of muck power. Rev. Mr. Hudson is much beloved tor his genial spirit and integrity of character. At the close of the sermon the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered. Similar services occurred each day until the meeting closed.

Antidotes for Pobinning by Korpnis, Opium, Laudanum, Stryetuaine and Arson*. ' . Mom the Chicago ileiniblicinhi Recently I have noticed very frequent accounts of cases of deathii by poisoning. Under the head of "Suicidal Mania," Yon give quite a number of deaths by mor phine, opium, and strychnine. lam not so much.surprised that this class of per sons, who shrink life's burdens, should choose so soothing a death -dealing drug as morphia, as I am at the igninancs dis played by many of the physicians who figure in these reports. Many of them seem perfectly helpless, apparently not knowing what to give to antidote this drug. Were they homceopathic physi cians, who must study the subtle but -potent influence that drugs have over one another, as well as over disease, I am confident you would have less of such cases to chronicle. .? The most ready antidote for opium, morphia, or any other of its preparations, is coffee. Just ordinary drinking coffee. When such cases come under observation (and nearly every person knows the symptoma prodnced by opium), call at once for coffee and give it freely. The 'stronger the infusion the quicker you will *arrest the progress of the poison. As soon as improvement is manifest hold up on the coffee. I could here cite. if ne cessary, a number of cases, where deter mined persona tried to commit suicide by taking morphine, opium or laudunum, but were saved by the timely administra tion of coffee. The physician can pre scribe caffeine, the alkalid of coffee, if he chooses to be fastidiously professional. Camphor is another antidote nearly al ways at hand, and may be used instead of the coffee or until it is prepared, These two drugs (camphor and coffee) will not work so well together nor follow each other so well as alone. If the case has not gone too far, I consider it an easy matter to save the life of a person under the narcotic influence of opium. The effects of strychnine are more vio ' lent and distressing, and it is, therefore, less used as a suicidal drug. Its antidotes are many. Chief among them standethe all powerful, ever present coffee. In cases of poisoning by this drug, the coffee must be the strongest that can be made, and must be given freely. Camphor is here also a valuable antidote- Arsenic produces such violent burning and distress in the stomach that it is fall ing into disfavor with this class- of per sons. They like to die quietly, without any "fuss." Milk, olive oil, and sequi oxide of iron (common iron rust) mixod with milk, should be freely given in cases of poisoning with arsenic- Strange as it may seem, strychnine is an antidote to opium in a certain degree. In the hands of non-professional or un educated physicians, they would be apt to do more harm than good if given as an antidote for each other. It should be generally known that coffee is almost a universal antidote to vegetable poisons, while camphor has in additson nearly the samie power over the mineral poisons. , Hoping that these few facts will be the means of saving life, _, I am, yours very truly. T. C. DUNCAN, M. D., Editor Medical Investigator. Time for Matrimony. t Among the ancient Germane, than whom a finer race never exulted, it was death for any woman to marry before she was twenty years old. By the laws of Lycurgus, the most special attention was paid to the physical education, and no delicate or sickly women were, on any account, allowed to marry. Dr. John ston, in his work of ”Bconomy of Health," says that matrimony shculd not be contracted until •the first year of the fourth septennial on the part of the lady, nor before the last year of the same in4tte case of the gentleman. In other words, the female should be at least twenty-one years of rage, and the male twenty•eight years. The doctor ssye there should be difference of seven years between the sexes, at whatever period of life the con nection is contracted. There is • a differ• once of seven years; not in the actual duration of life in the two sexes, but in the stamina of the constitution, the gym metr y of the form and lineanients of the face. In respect to early marriage, so far, as it concerns the softer sex, for every year at which marriage is entered upon before the age of twenty-one, there will be, on an average, three years of prema ture decay, more or less apparent, of the corporal fabric. Tun young ladles of Dover, Wayne , county, have formed a society for the re: demption of young men whose habits do not snit them—pledging themselves not to receive the attention of any young man who swears, smokes, chews, loafs. on the street corners, or drinks . ' The amount of "sitting• up with the girls" done in that region, since the society went into operation is "nothing worth speak ing of.' Aa agitation in favor of ' sus pending the rules" fdr two evenings a week is expected. ,-* IN Filmic's, butcher's meat is often preserved in hot weather for eight or tsn dsys, by placing it in large earthenware pans, putting heavy atones upon it, and covering it with skimmed milk.

The facts in the case era about as followm While writing with Planchette some time since, it commenced portraying the faces of persons. It then directed her to send to a firm in Chicago and get colored cray ons; giving the price; etc. After think ing about it for some time, andhaving no knowledge of colored crayons, she was induced to send to the parties named, and see if there was any truth in the state ments. She found them to be correct, and received the erayons as ordered. Planchette then -began drawing the fig ures on a larger scale, and with some precision. One of the first drawn was recognized as that of a son of her • father, who had died before the young lady was born, and persons acquainted with her family could easily detect a resemblance. Another was recognized by a man to be that of a daughter who bad removed•to California some fourteen years since, and who bad ;been dead about five years. The man being rather skeptical about It, wished Planchette to tell who it mu. - It wrote something they could pot read; and as it seemed to be written tmckWatfitl, one of the family suggested' that sleeking glass be brOtight , to see if it mild not be read by the- reflection. Thlawas T done, and the name "Nancy" was found writ ten distinctly ninb times. This fully sat isfied the gentleman. Other persona hero recognizeddecciused relatives. One of the drawings in colored crayons is very beau? tiful, the expression of the countenance being quite lifelike. Planchette commences at the head to draw, and finishes the picture is it ad vances. When it came to draw the dress of the picture above named, itindicated to the "medium" to take a purria crayon. This she refused to do, saying it would spoil the picture. She strove to resist the "power" for nearly half a day, till at last, exhausted, she gave way and let Planchette take its course. It combined several other colors with the purple, and made a very handsome golden tint, which is the admiration of all who see it. The young lady cannot account for any of these mysterious workings ,of Plan ahette. She has never taken lessons In even the rudiments of drawing, and of herself cannot, Undirected, draw even the roughest sketch. We submit the case to the curious. Woriszt's rights, it is asserted, will soon be recognized to their full extent in Great Britain, as several of the bills on this subject presented to the English Par liament, recently adjourned, have been passed by that body. Thus, women have now the right to vote at municipal elections, and will hereafter' obtain a share of the public endowments for female schools. The Msrried Women's Prop erty bill passed the House of Commons, and was read for a second time in the House of Lords, but failed to become a law on account of the adjournment. This law, however, is not satisfactory to the women, and at the next session of Parlia ment a new bill will be introduced, which will be more liberal in its provis ions, and impose no restrictions on the wife that are not imposed on the husband. Rums, it is reported, is suffering from the extraordinary proceedings of numer ous political sects that have recent') sprung up in that country. The nature of the doctrines preached by these sects may be judged by a recent occurrence in the district of Baratow. A short time ago the prophets of a new religion made their appearance in that part of the empire, preaching self•destrnction by fire as the only sure road to salvation; and so readily was this dreadful doctrine received by the ignorant and superstitious peasantry, that in one large village no less than seven teen hundred persons assembled In some wooden •bonses, and having barricaded the doors and windows, set the buildings on fire and perished in the flames. A Russian peasant lately applied to a St. Petersburg book publisher for employ ment. He said his name was Ivan Pro nto; that he lived in the district of Jaros lavi, on the Volga, some 160 miles north east of Moscow; that he owned a piece of ground, which he cultivated with his own hands; and be wonid work as a trans lator from the English, Spanish, French, German and Italian languages. And, to the astonishment of the bookseller, the peasant was found critically familiar with all these languages, having learned them by means of grammars and dictionaries, in his leisure hours after his' day's work in the field. He was immediately em ployed, and proved a most efficient and elegant translator Russia, it is reported, is endeavoring to extend her influence in Hungary, and has been so successful, that the lower classes, as well as the educated portion of the community, now speak Russian in stead of the Magyar language, on public occasions, and at several banquets and meetings Russian plays have been per formed. Russian books are being pre pared for the use of the people, a Russian almanac for the year 1870 is to be largely circulated among the mountaineers of the Carpathians, and Russian books of arithmetic and universal history have already been published. Miss Sorm Wonams. displayed a great deal of presence of mind, the other night, at Troy. In the course of the per formance of "Latish ftookh," the blonde wig of one of the "peris" suddenly took fire, Irom a lighted torch, and was imma dtately in a blaze; wbvreupon Miss Sophie Worrell plucked off the burning thatch and displayed the black locks of Miss H.
