VieelV-sidcnt Henry Wilson Iied at Washington city, n Mruiday morning last, the particular of winch will be found in another part of this paper. A a rule the death of a reat man, be he au thor or ioidier or statesman, thocks and surprises the people among whom ke lived, but arouses no deep feeling, no really heartfelt sorrow. The present generation bas 8n more prominent and good men pass away than probably aay other that bas ever lived. A we recall the names of Clay, Webster, Linooln RD-i inauy olhcra whose history will live through all Rene rations to corre, we are now Called urou to add another to the list of departed islalea men. The career of Henry Wilson was noble and deserving of imitntion. A poor lad, be learned what was esteemed a hum ble trade, and was never ashamed of it. I3j assiduous application, he acquired the ru diments of on education, and read nnd ludied. as opportunity ofii nd, till be en tered into public life. As a legislator, in Massachusetts, and member of Congress, Senator and Vice Tresident, be was ever faithful to his sense of richt. He swerved ftoiu his party, only on moial questions. In early life, before the anti-slavery move ment aw-uined the definite and ari'sniro form which it did iu alter years, he was a Free Suili-r. interested in behalf of human Ireulotn. He was one f the earliest mem bers of the Republican party. Within the I party he bas always been on the side of j riht measures and pure principle. thnri I tabie toward th.e wbotraed from tl.e foid, and willing to yield to tlu-tu. so f.;r as hecousUlcntly might, seeking at a!i times, to harmonize, and, at the same lime, to levate the party to a higher and better plane. Whatever may be said of the wis dom of bis methods, the spirit aud aim of Ileory Wilson, particularly during the hist jears of his life, can ouly be commended. He was also active in moral reforms side from politics. He was an active originator and promoter of the Congres sional Temperance Society, which did so much, particularly during the war, toward promoting sobriety among members of Congress. It required decided moral cour age to enter upon such work. The war, with its excitements and turmoil, stimula ted uriLking hsbiu, and the presence of a large army in Washington gave special impetus to intemperance in that city. There were Senators imrl umbers, pos sessed of great intellectual power, --ho be came contiimeU inebriates. At last Wron and others formed the Temperance Society mentioned, and many were reformed. It is noti";a',M lo- ' long and l,0nc-"5,e career his hands vrere free from tribes, aud he es to bis grave leaving but little property to surviving relatives. He ably, Eea'ously, hotiesth and purely filled a position of high honor and great trust- 1 he colleague of Clicrlcs Sumner. lie was not dwarfed by the great powers of that able statesman, but made himself felt aud respected as hie colleague and official rqual.

There were many reasons which led U bis selection that were itrii al!y complimentary Ut reau. He was faitlitul to the party when Greeley, Sum ner, and others, who were among the anti la very leaden, were covertly turning over to the Democracy uadcr the guise of Lib eralism. He had been faithful, uunng the -dark days of ihe war. He was. from the inception of the party, one of its most faithful adhereuu. He was not the mwt useful man lha party bad, but there teem ed to be a kind of poetic justice in reward ing his fidelity at a time when others, from whom better thing were expected, were unfaithful. He has performed the duties of his high jwisition as well as health would lnuit, and now that be has passed away, it can be truthfully said of bin), that he was faithlul to bis couscieuce, his party, Lis couutry, and Ins God. "Well ilotie, jiood and faithful servant." A Democratic Editor Denounces a Pemockatic: Graxd Jury. Onr neigh tor of the Dtmorrat, last week, comments on the supplemental report of the Grand Jury, and accuses them of white-washing the tax sales of unseated lands, and says "he will Touch for the truth in any sum be Is able to command, if they will agree to forfeit a corresjMmding sum that the twelve thousand reported bavingbeen realized is not correct." That may be a good plan to get vut of a bad acrape by bluffing, bal then it Joes not alter the case any. Any roason Me man, after investigating the case in the Commissioner's office will be convinced that the editor of the Demtrral was pivinj circulation to a falsehood in his circular is sued by himself and bis man Friday." Hr. Hie u. The Grand Jury who made the supplemental report last week, was composed of a majority of Democrats with n Democratic foreman, and no one will dare say that they are not honest meu who would refuse to lend themselves to any uch low trickery and deception, as the edi tor of the Dmtonvt does to make a politi cal point. Several of the jury ware men who have, and now hold, very prominent and responsible jtoaitioua, and baying no interest on either aide it would have been suicidal for them to maki a report partial to either party. They have undoubtedly filled their mission, being under oath they Lave submitted a report which they cou acieatioualy believe to be correct. And as for their competency to investigate the whoie affair, no one will doubt, but that they were far better qualified than our neighbor or any of bis Ring. As tht re port doea not meet tbe approbation of the editor of the Dtmocrut ha very naturally denounces it, and insults the whole Grand Jury, Democrats and Republicans, by barfing theio with having evaded their worn duty, tnd pnrguring themselvea, by j submitting a report screening the guilty. What will honest Democrat think now, vbts their leader nd chairman of tbe County Committee tcruaes them with dia liomart daalimja becaaa taay rsfnsed to ror up a 1 which ks iavecWti todaciave tba boneot votafi of tba coanty t The me a on that Jury will cenpftra moat favorably with the editor of tba Democrat, or any of Hut Ring who slander them. Asmr neighbor of t e Democrat, last w eek, tries to misrepresent the Court in the investigation of the unseated land aales, we copy the charge of the Court to the Grand Jury by Judge Rockefeller on the subject, as follows : iTakt by tht Court Reporter. Remarks of his Honor Win. M. Rockefeller, to the Ontlemen of the (imuJ Jury, Novein r Term, 1S75, in the Court of Quarter Ses sions of Noctbmiitierlatid County. Gentlemen of tin Grind Jury : Theie ha been handed or scut to me ttroueli the pot office, a petition signed by numerous citizens of this comity, rcqustlnsr, the Court to bring a inaucr before the Grand Jury in rela tion to the unhealed lands in th county, in the years 1873 nnd 1S74. As 1 undert-tand it. it was allied by somecUl erns of this county that there wa fraud com rnitted by tue Commissioners for the time being, in relation to thene ales. This petition wss ttul to iuo about two hours aro, or I won'.d have laid it before you sooner. It comes lite being j io far ag realiaitig he substantiate fro:n jaft at the time when yoa are :ikiiifi: to be di- the government goes. In addition to bis charged. Yet we do not intend to have it aald, i long term of office as Survey r f the Fort by anyone, thnt the Court refused to iy the mat- j in Philadelphia, we notice that every once ter before vou.

I don't know that anythln? of the kind j itjCj t(J glly nolnjng f right, to divide it ha occurred. It was alleged in the papers dur ing the campaign that there bus been fraud, and if this is true it outht to be investigated. In view of this matter I don't kuow what instruc tion to give you. At tfce last term of Court we were ra jneMed by the Grand Jury to appoint a committee to in Tcnitrale the cost of the Court Mouse, Ac. This committer- was appointed. It was irregu lar of eonr-e ; their is no law authoring the Court to r.ppoint ronoiiittees in cases of this kind, and that Investigation only put expense upor the county, and amounted to nothing. If we were to appoint a committee atain, an additional n peine would be eulailed upon the eouulv without having lime to jrive this matter conti-t-ration. Wt iiow lay those petition b- foro yn, and say to '! that you !mt the pririifjo-to i;o ini thf Coninition. rs ollW, and tliere examine the rajier n r- eordu of that oltiee until ou are saliifled in regard to life allegations contained in these petitions. If you can there And evidence of fraud so as to satisfy you that fraud has been committed upon the people of this county, you may report the mailer to the Court. Such a thing as the Courts appointing a committee has merer been the law In thia county, or any other, that I know of. The only way that parlies ean be prosecuted crimir.aily in a Court of Jnstiee It opon Informa tion under oath. Anycitiseu of thiscoasiy bas the right if ha beliere that fraud hat been committed by the Commissioners, to go before a justice ef the peace and take out a warrant for their arrest, and have them touud over. An indictment would then be scut befors the Grand Jury. If a true bill be found they would be put upoirtrial, and if found pnilty be punished according to tbe Act of assembly. There is ai.oiher way where Grand Jurors have knowledge, persona! knowledge, of any effeure they may tnaka what is called a prnf irwrsf to he Court, statin in detail as far as pos sible the character of tbe offence of which they knowledge ; and then the Court upon the presentment, has the rieht to direct the District Attorney to fume a bill of indictment, and send it back to the Grand Jury, upon which they can act. There ! stiil auoihrr mode prosecuting crimi nal cases, that Is by the -'Return'' of the consta ble. That public officer has the right to teturn tinder iath, any crimes that he knows to have been commuted, especially in cases of nui-.ai.ee. On the strength of his return the Court may direct a bill ofiudictment to be sent before the Grand Jury. These are the only three instances known to the law by which a party can be lerally Indicted aud trie ! for criminal offence. The ouly way that I can fee by which this matter can be investigated is by some persons . . i . - " ' - peace for these Cnnnty Commissioner. If they eansta'r under oath that they tHicv tliey are ffiii:;y ofaiy fra'id. they can hare them arrested an l tiouiid over, and npnljirlv proceeded with in accordance with the law j b-il gentlemen of th - G::ind J-jry if Toil know of your own knowl- edire of any fiandn in tin Co-iniv Cm'iilsioiier otllee, or have ip-is-m to brii-v.- there wa frau I, the Court now gives to yt.n the privelege of making i-roeiitmeiit, and I bare no doubt the Commlscioners will not object. If iu this itiTejojjfi; .-ywrn And of jour wn kiiowlctlge that the County Commissioners have defrauded the county in this retpect, then this Court wl'j direct a bill or indictment to be scut up before you, and we will try the pitrties, aud if found guiily puuish ttetu aevcrtly. Now whether you will act in this matter or not I leave to you." We can further sUto that "a thorough overhauling" wae had in tha case, and that tbe Grand Jury reported truthfully th facts. The only objection we find is that the tvidrnce of Mr. D. S. Itietz, County Commissioner, before the Grand Jury was not reported in fulL If the Jury were im posed upon "willfully or unwillfully," our neighber'a roan "Friday," Mr. Reila must have accomplished that feat. Mr. Ileitt when before the Grand Jury stated that be sizne a blank certificate to be filled up, without knowing what the atatement was to which his certificate was attached, and that he knew of no fraud' or any wrong committed by the Commissioners, and would have done just as the Commissioners did, if be had been in their place. This statement of Mr. Reitx under oath proves our statement before the election correct. that some designing persons got up the '"circular" atatement, and got Mr. Reitz to certify to a matter of which be was ig norant and knew nothing, and which be could not comprehend. We desire to know whether under auch circumstances, first awearing and certifying to one thing then another, whether such a person should bo allowed to take the oath of office under the new nonstilion. Democrats who have vo ted for Mr. Ilietz in good faith, will blush to find that he was actually the tool of those who were actuatad by mercenary mo tives in securing his election. If auch things are to be tolerated, God save the Mxr lax-payers of this county. A Nrw Tradh Opkxing. Our manu facturers of cotton goods have brought their business to such perfection tlia. they are now selling cotton fabrics lower than they have ever been aold in thia country or Europe. Calicota of a fair quality are now sold at retail, in thia place, at ( eta. per yard. The reault ia that lie fere another year our manufacturers will have a con trolling influence over the foreign markets. We are now shipping cotton goods to Man chester, the great cotton manufacturing city of England. Twenty-five bnndred bales have been ordered from Boston for that city. It is true that oar manufactu res arc not making money at present, nor ia it our object to compote with England in their own markets. But these facta prove that we can maka cotton fabrics cheaper than tkey can be produced in any other pince on the giobe, and that we shall before many yeara, supply Eorope, Asia aud Africa with most of their cotton goods. Tbe above tacts t honld forever ahut up tie mouths of free traders. And tbey suc ceeded in breaking down tha tariff, aa they desired, we should be dependant on Eng land for our ottoa good a, and aend abroad two dollar for every one we now apend at borne, and our mechanics aud laborers would not be able lo earn evta balf the wf tbey norv receive. Toa Market Stun budge over tbe Schuylkill river at Philadelphia, was burn ed down, on Saturday afternoon last. j Thk D'mocrat ilr-timiius the Grand Jury for not making a political report in favor of the King. The editor says -not one of the petitioners was summoned." Mr. Ite.it z, one of the Democratic Comiuis aioners, and one most interested was before that body, or does the Democrat consider bitu -nobody." As he was the ierson roost interested iu the investigation, why did he cot request the Grand Jury to call these persons. He was before the Jury in defence of himself aud the Ring, and if he failed for want of evidence, the fault was bis own and not that of the Jury. The Lebanon Courier notices a want of farsight in political leaders in relation to the distribution of patronage which has been appareut for years, and has done the party no good. It says : Our friend Goodrich, of the Bradford lie txjrter. is the luckiest editor in I'ennavivati- around a little among worthy and poorly- paid Republican editor, as to confine it to two or three favorites. We have published Whig and Republi can papers iu this State for about forty years, and cannot recall the receipt of a single dollar for advertising or work -lone for any department at llie seat of govern ment, unless publishing a few revenue no ticee may lie so called. Kor have we been much more fortunate from the State, fir in nine cases out ol ten anything obtained from that iju:irler was also bestowed upon Democratic pa iers. llm (ruth is papers in tlm interior are looked upon by p Iiti- cians as mere iiiae'iinc. to He ut. u tor tun advancement of ili-.s-- se.eki.ig fli-e. and while one is occasionally found wh acts upon lbs principle that editors ought to be paid for their services, half a dozen lake it as a matter of course, and leave the printer get along as best he can the honor of being a party organ ling, in their opinion, honor enough. We have here and there valued friends for whom we can feel a deep interest whenever they are up for office, but for that class who are all for self, who would as soon cheat as aid n, we cannot aay we shed even "croco dile" tears when the public verdict is against theta. Leicistotrn Gazette. As we are similarly situated we can ful ly endorse the above as applicable to our own case Ed. Ambiucax. Ol'U neighbor of the Democrat, last week, wants to claim all the credit of the late Democratic majority in this county. It is the greatest egotism we have seen for a long lime. Every one knows that if it had not been for other influential Demo crats outside of our neighbor's Ring that done the work, there would not have been a corporal's guard left. If the Democra tic parly depended on our neighbor, there would be but little left outside of his Riug and no room for any majorities. The editor of the Democrat returns thanka to Mr. .herwo-d for bis assistance as a wheel horse "duriug the late political campaign." If that is so, what is to be come of our young friend, Lewis Dewart, Esq. ? who imagined that he caused the vote through his "enormous" speeches. But when we come to recollect. Sherwood au i ne Ktrgem ugures. Ilia estimate of the national debt, ran upwards in the bil lioiia. nd Lewis couldn't get up that high, we know.

As the Department reports are madaout it beffina t-ijjtt- ing has been one of vigor and economy iu the National admins'.ration. Ii is quite a noticeable fact thai a decrease in expend turea appears in all reports of tbe National Department. Treasurer New's official doc ument, just given to the public, shows a net decrease of expenditure of 9,63o702 in the last fiscal year. The figures are elo quent in denunciation of the partisan cries that President Grant's Adiuinstration is tbe moslexiravagant that has directed the Government. Expenditures have greatly increased, it is true, but the Government of the United States is not what it was fifty years ago, a period to which the opposition of to-day loves to point. Ecouomy in every department is now rig'diy insisted on, and the larsre corps ii was necessary to keep in tbe various departments after the war, to adjust matters, have been gradually de creased.

The sooner the better; for the longer it is delayed the more intense and bitter will be the contest. it ia arnica mat Mr. iew, the new Treasurer at Washington, ia about to re tire from the office on account of the de mand of his private business.

HOW ACTORS LIVE AND DIE THE LITERA RY PEOPLE MOODY AND SANKEY TAMMANY'S EXTRAVAGANCE -SUlCIDh BEKt'HER BUSINESS. New Vouk, Nov. 2:J, 1S75. HOW ACTORS LIVE AND DIE. There are, of the young men aud women who read your paper at least a tliousam who have been and are crazy to get on tin stage. They have heard of the wondrou costumes the actresses wear, and of tin gorgeous salaries they all draw, and they suppose that the life of a player is one un ending round of pleasure. The few wh do "get on the stage" find the difference between fancy aud fact, in a very short lime. It is the hardest, meanest, most uncer tain and wretchedly paid busiuess iu the world. Not one actor in a thousand makes more lhau the merest subsistence, at bis best, with the cerlainty staring him in the face that at the end when he can act n more of dying in air alms-house, or sub sisling on the charity of younger ones, win are almost as poor aa himself. Tliere an those, of course, who make immense sal aries. Edwin Booth, for instance, never plays for leas sthan 500 a night, and Sotherr. , Charlotte Cushman, aud a dozen others coin maud quite as much. But you can number this class on the fingers of your two hands, lbese are the excep tions, just as Stewart and Clatliu are anion merchants. The highest salary paid regu lar slock actors in New York is 100 per week for a season of nine months. Out of this sum the actor has to furnish his ward robe, which if pieces change frequently makes a terrible bole iu it. Then he lies idle three months in the year, and what is worse for his pocket, the very nature of his employment makes frequent expenditure almost unavoidable. The moat prudent end the year with nothing uine-lenlhs of the m are always in debt. And there is al ways ahead of them two ghosts lack of engagements and sickuess. Out of employ ment in his profession, there is nothing uu der beaveu for him to do, and sickness means atarvation. A noted English actor named Belmore a man who stood first iu eccentric comedy in that country, and who waa the especial pet of tbe "nobility and gentry George Belmore, who kept all England laughing for years died last week in a poor boarding-house on Fourth Avenue dependent at the last on the charity of his fellow-actors for the gruel he ate and the medicines be took. Not a dollar in the world, and a wife aud seven children de pendent ou him in London 1 Who has not heard of Fox, the panto- mimist !

Young man or young women, as the case may lie, if you have any aspirations for tbe stage, ctish tln-ni oui ai once. The life is one in which there ire t.-u tliounn I Hanks to one prize, and of tin; priz -s there ii not on? in a thousand that in worth hav ing. It is an ugly, unsatisfactory, miser able life at the liest, and a horrible life for at:y one who cannot get almvc decent mediocrity. Be a shoemaker, a tailor, a armer. a blacksmith, or the wife of one, til never be an actress. Tak the advice of one who known, and don't. And while I am about it I may as w. II eiy something about another class who are popularly supposed to roll iu purple and i.ie linen, but who don't, n unrly. THE LITERARY PEOPLE. As is the case with the theatrical profes--ion. it in generally supp -sed tint the writers get enormou pay. and the mistake is just as great. L ngfellow. Lowell, tlolmes.

The usual pay for common writers for -iOr:es. newspaper articles an I ai alter of this class is from ?4 to S a column for oieli pters as the Times. The writer, work as be or she may, cannot exceed four ; iluiuns a week, for a large pari of the time is consumed in getting up the material 'r tin; work.

Of course, when they get up in the world, mil get so well known that their names will bring additional subscribers to a pub ication. they get higher prices, but this is vhat the few who get employment at all ire compelled l submit t . And let it be remembered that of every thousand who mbmit manuscrips. not ten get a Hue ac cepted." There are to-day iu New York done, two thousand men aud women be -ieging editors with ppnluctions in prose and verse, who never had a line published aud never will. And the few who get work to do starve at it, for tbe reason that there are a thousand, all equally good, try ing for the place of ten. I advise your voung readers to avoid the stage, and I idvise them with equal fervency to avoid literature, that is, as a means of living Write all you choose it is a delightful and improving recreation, but don't try to live by it. If you get your matter published Hid get a $10 check for it, thank Heaven, tnd spend it on a new bat, but don't de ieud on it as a means of livelihood. That way starvation lies. It is taking ten chances in a hundred of sleeping in a ;arret, eating at cheap restaurants, and dodging tailors and dress makers during the terra of your natural life. MOODY AND SANKEY Are working away in Brooklyn, with in lifferent success. It was a mistake to go there, for, to take preaching to Brooklyn is carrying coals to Newcastle. There are a hundred or more of the best preachers in ihe world there, and religion is so much an -very -day business, that sccial efforts an liable to be futile. They come to Nc York this wimer, and here they will d eticr. They will have in addition to tin enormous resident population, the lift -v thousand strangers who an: in the hotel; who would naturally be attracted. 15. sides tnere Ma heavier per cent, of people it re lo be converted, than i liruoklvn. I predict for them a great success iu New York. They are zealous bard-workers hey believe in their mission, and they know how to woik. WHAT TAMMANY AND EXTRAVAGANCE HAS DONE. In addition to the enormous cost of liv ing iu ine city, me, people are paying 5108.000.000 annually in interest and taxes. The real estate of the city is mortgaged for -il.000.000,000, the interest on which, at 7 per cent., fools up H 152,000.000. Add to this the en ormous taxes that have to be paid, and Ihe sum aggregates enormously Tammany has done this for New York ll is the most cominou thing in the world tor an improvement to be ordered that oMs so much as to compel the owner t out a mortgage on the property to pay it. Nine-tenths of these improvements are un necessary, aud nine-tenths of the cost goes into the pockets of the rings who run the politics of the city. 1 have oue friend wh has a lot fifteen feet wide, on an up town street, who was couiH.-lled to pay S7."0 lor re paving the street. The opposite fifteen feet waa taxed (he same, making nearly 51.500 tor paving fifteen feet of u street. The actual cost of the work, was probably 5250, leaving the handsome balance of 51,250, to be divided among the thieves. And as these parlies had the whole street. you can see mat tney maue a very nice thing of it. Aud the worst part of it, is that tbe street did not need re-paving, and that the old outs was better than the uew one. 1 Ins is ouly oue way in winch taxes re piled up tliere are aa many ways of fwindhng, as theie are hairs ou the ewiud- 1 er's btads. Probably it will be some bet ter hereafter, for the last election disturbed the rings somewhat, but at the best there will bo enough of it. The ignorant and vicious vote of the city is so lare, th scoundrelly politicians have but little diffi culty in getting the power to put their hands in the pockets of the people. ANOTHER SUICIDE, growiug out of illicit connections, happen ed in this city last week. It was the old story. A wealthy merchant was living with a beautiful girl, unmarried, of course. The merchant tired of her, aud tauuted her till he drove her to maduess. Blind wiih rage she rushed into tho uexl room, aud shot herself. Then her paramour found thai he real'y did love her, and he is us nearly insane as any mau can be. There are two thousand people in this way on five squares above Eighth street, and there are suicides or murders among them eveiy week. There is but oue end to the infringe ment of the Seventh Commandment. Aud while 1 am on this subject, there is a lively prospect that THE BEECH ER SCANDAL will be opened sgain. Loader, who was indicted for perjury iu this case, asked for an order to lake ihe testimony of Mr. Ji8eph Richards, the brother of Mrs. Tildon, to whom Mrs. Tildon confessed her crime. Kicharus knows more ot the mat ter lhau any one, and the truth, so far as Mrs. Tildon's confessions go, will be forced outofbim. Then Plymouth Church has dropped the name of Mrs. Moulton, to which she protests, aud demands aninvei- tigation. The principal officials of the Church have given out public'y that this action was taken because she test'.ue.. against Beecher, and slie prop. ism to slio that she testified to the truth, anil n.illiin else. So between Leader, Rii.h if .Is, -i Mrs. Moult hi, it is probable that pooi B.-eclier wiil be again put on tin; "raggei. -e'lge." l saw nun yesieruy, aii'i wa shocked at the change in him. lie looks wau aud thin, aud lost the quick, active, elastic movement that once characterized him. Innocent or guilty, ba bas sutured terribly. His troubles have told on him. BUSINESS t continues dull, and there is now no pros pect of revival till after the holidays. The city is discouraged, particularly when the reports of booming business comes to us from all other parts. No one can tell why it is so, but it is. And no on", can prophecy when achaug ; will coma.

It has giveu us books of fiction for tlio sentiment alist, learned books for the scholar and professional student, but few books for the people. A book for the people must relate to a subject of universal interest. Such a subject is the physical man, and such a book "The People's Common Sense .Medical adviser," acopy of which has lieeu recently laid on our table. The high professional atlinments of its author Dr. It. V. Pierce, of ButHilo. N. V. and the advantages derived ly him from an esteu sive practice, would alone insure for his work a cordial reception. But thesu are not tht merits for which it claims our atteu lion.

Pr c eding upon the theory that every tact of mind has a phyisical ante cedent, be has giveu un admirable treatise ou Cerebral Physioiogy, and shown the bearing of the facts thus established up.u individual and social welfare. The Author believes with Spenc-r. that "as vigorous health anl us accompanying high spirits are larger elements ot happiness lhau any other things whatever, the teaching how to mantain them, is teaching what iel.i to no other whatever," aud accordingly has introduced an extensive discussion ot the methods by which we may preserve the intcrety of the svBtem aud ofi times pre vent the onset of disease. Domestic Rem dies theie preparation, uses, anti effects from a prominent feature of the woik. The hygienic treatment, or nursing of the sick, is an imoprtant with its subject, and receives attention commensurate with its importance. Nearly all diseases "to which flesh is heir "are described, their symptoms aud cause explained, and projier domestic treatment suggested. To receiprocate the many favors bestowed upon him by a generous public, the author oir. rs his book at a price (51.50) little exceeding the cost of publication.
