Because the stomach will digest certain substances does not prove that that sort of work should be put upon it, does it? Perhaps the disputants will see, before they get done, that there are, no absolute rules of diet as to r ariety. , BLOSSBURO.—A correspondent writes: : .•The Drs. Warner have delivered their highly interesting course of lectures to an attentive audience, in the Baptist Church in, this village, and many persons afflicted with organic, and chronic,: complaints, availed themselves of the opportunity to consult them." "Elder N. L. Reynolds, Baptist Minister,, and Elder Sinner, of the M. E.

"As nothing short of a' Republican majority of 3500, in this County, ought to satisfy us this next fall, should there not he some steps taken, for forming a county club, with auxiliaries in each Township, and funds raised for the diffusion of knowledge, by 'distributingcampaign doduments; I feel sure that the 'more information there is obtained upon the questions at issue, the larger 1011 be the Repablicanaote.". Tar WINTER.—The heaviest body pf Sur ever seen in this region - covered tho earth Tuesday evening of last week. Tho snow 'lay between 2. and 3 feet deep in our streets, while the higher lands around us aro said to have been cohered to a depth of 4 feet:- The storm teom menced Sunday evening Ist inst., and continued with little abatement until Monday afternoon.— Tuesday morning the mercury marked 23 degrees telow zero, at4l still the air was filled with' snow. The meroury held near zero all day Tuesday, and there 11 , 10 a sharp gale toward night. All agree that this is the hardest • winter rtmembervd in this county. - A wintry 3fareh is not usually regarded as Un favorable. But many of our farmers are shed of hay, and the prospect is not inviting. The wells are generally dry, the sfiiiims low, and the roads of the hill townships are almost 4mpassable. In Farmington the feed is about exhausted, and, tome farmers have begun to kill their sheep, to, VIVO tho pelts. Great distress must ensue upon. a prolongation of the weather of the past tiv-o weeks THE AUDITOR GENERAL has submit ted a list of the indebtedness of the several counties ors account. f &site tax. The indebted ness of Time. County is put at $.14.847.97; to which must be added ?417.69, penalty. The cause of this indebtedness is; chiefly, this The as.testors of this county lisiro -kept the x'aluatiort (lora to the lowest 'notch for more than twenty years. The Board of Revenuo Commissionera 01:110 eight years ago, we believe, raised the vald.- anon 25 per cent. Instead of assessing upon this increased valuation the assessors kept on at the old eastern; and so the county fell behind 1500 or so every year. trobably a tenth of the indebtedness occurred from exonerations made by the Commissioners and not yet- allowed by the Auditor General. But the bulk of it arises front our devotiOn to a system °finite values ; and now , must pay for it. Only six. counties aro out of debt to the State. Philadelphia is about 5330. 000 btbind.

Positive people aro the motive power, . either fur good or 6 . 11. Whatever of progress there is in the world of letters., mechanies, ‘ • I ...nee, art, social, and political, is owed to the d positive Well and woioen of the world of man. On the other hand, ichatev - er of evil there - is — "":.broad in an organized forts), is chiefly * owed to pAitive men and wOlllOl of bad inclination.; hut a portion Of the strength of evil i t s gathered from the• passive-negati;:e creatures who claim to he neutrals : in all that pertains to the real holiness of fill: Many of them Jive moral lives, end by no word or ttetgive: countaante to error end wrong. But while evil is always naive they to resist it by combination :with the posi tive element of - gooll. Their tips arc all "t;r tuiseiou rather than of commission. They are averse to motion in any direction, and oily get up steam enough to complain 'when positive peo ple disturb them. There is 11 , • particular merit to the goodness of mull people. Moving no ac tive powers they avoid ' an open alliance with eVil, and aro thus negatively good., They are quoted as harmless, inoffensive people, and when ,they lir it is customary to write of "them that they had "not an enemy in the world." Nopositively good man or woman ever died enomyless. Take /bra-. ham Lincoln, a man who, ,was a stranger to the selfish ambitions anti base impulses afflict too many; no man ever had more dLvote friends, Or More of theM, and none ever had hitt mite, outlasting even life. lie, was a -, aggressive man.

But they should emigrate to' tiepin, where everything is tempered to a mod- - crate blood heat.
