A Clerical Corpse. In one of those fat places in Ohi), the pastor of the Church concluded to accept a call to another iieltl nl" labor, mid so he resigned his pastorate. Deacon L was very sorry to lose his good shepherd, but with an eye to the spiritual interests of the church, begun with others, to cast about for a successor. An eligible man having been found, he paid a visit to the city, and while there the Deacon was anxious that he should havo an opportunity to exhibit his pewers to the congregation. But there was this difficulty in the way : The late pastor's resignation had been set for several weeks in the future, and he was still occupying the pulpit.

Texan Cattle. The number
of cattle driven North from Texas must be verv "large, arid until lately
no attempt has been made to record
the statistics of the trade. The
Belton Intelligencer sates that '100,000 head of cattle have this season
passed through that town for Northern markets, and the Gonzales Inquirer reports that 40.814 have
passed through during the first four months of 1870. The latter num
ber, however, may be partly included in the former figures, as Gonzales is seventy miles south by east from Austin, and Bekon is seventy miles north northeast.

last a petition was filed by one Ann
S. Lawrence, of Savannah, Georgia, scttinr. forth that she was the law
ful widow of decedent, and asking that the letters of administration bo revoked. This led to an investigation, when it was found that the deceased had married Ann S. Lawrence in in Savannah, Georgia, and leavirg her, married Mary Ann Lawruuice in 18(ii2 in this city. Yesterday the Kegister of Wills, Gen. Wm. A. Leech, rendered a decision in faor of the first wife, and or
dered that the letters of administra

Don't fret this hot weather, or in fact any weathev. No man, or woman cither, ever made anything by fretting, and when one gets into the habit they will always find something to keep it going. There are times M-e know when things don't move smoothly, and it seems that everything is going wrong end foremost. - Fretting won't help matters in tiielea5t,a.s fretting leads to scolding, and in nine cases out of ten one is ant to use language at such times
which they are heartily ashamed of
al tc rwards. 1 he best rule is to take things coolly, do as near right as you know how, and you will come out about right in the end. From a frctter, cither male or female, good Lord deliver us !
The Fly Plague A Connecticut; paper feelinsdv remarks : When

Take it Sunday afternoon and between six and eight o'clock inorninirs, when one is trying to get a nap, and have a perverse, persistent, pertinacious, pestiferous, pusillanimous fly at you a thousand and nineteen times in succession, is enough to make a l'haroah let po not only his Jews but his meerschaum, pipe and his prettiest servant girl. A boarder at one of our hotels who was subjected to this plague of Hies, woke up the other morning with the bed r iai trcss twisted about his neck and tied in a double bow knot. We calculated that we rolled over in bed so many times this morning tint if the sane number of revolutions were given to a mustard seed it would roll to Alaska and back again.

A visitor at Mr. Dicken's house writes to a Boston friend that Mr. Dickens, af:er he received the fatal paralytic stroke, never regained
consciousness, but "for twenty -four hours he breathed heavier and heavier, louder and louder, until a quarter of a i hour before he expired he began to sob. At last the tears .ii-, -, . . .
loiieu down his hi.Towefl cheeks, and with one last sob his spirit departed." Tho Louisville Commercial's Joffersonville reporter says: "Last year the Coroner's inquests in this county ,avcr:iged about two a month. Of the whole number about onesixth were Hiicides.and three-fourths of the wh lc were the results of using intoxicating drinks." The prp dation of JeiTersonville

so frequently have her varied interests been discussed through the papers, that perhaps your readers are beginning to think that we Iudianapolitana, with our Chicago neighbors, have gone mad over the wonderful .growth of our city. Now we are not disposed, to be classed among enthusiasts. You will therefore allow us :o leave the imaginary
worn or the city-ouilding to our more speculative friends and confine
ourselves to a few tacts to which our attention has been called, which
are of vaster importance to the community at large than the growth of a single city. In other words, if
you please, wo will devote ourselves to what might be termed a medical letter. j A large number of the persons we meet uow-a-days are suffering to a greater or less degree with Nasal Catarrh, the natural tendency of which, is towards Comumption; yet, if taken in time, this disease is very easily managed, by applying the proper remedies directly to the diseased parts, by means of the Spray Douche and Inhalation. Upon examination, by the Laryngoscope, if the throat or upper part of the windpipe is found diseased the medicine selected is brought into direct cemtact with the affected parts, by means of delicate instruments. If upon a careful examination of the Lungs, we find them diseased, then a Gum Elastic Tube is used, and the medicine is introduced into the Lungs, coming into direct contact with the affected portions, thereby neutralizing the diseased mass, in which state it is ejected from the Lungs, and nature is left to repair the damage. If remote parts c f the Lungs are implicated, and cannot be reached by these means, then Inhalation is usetl. By Inhalation as many may suppose, in rot meant any particular remedy, prescription or formula; it is composed of many different remedies, and the source from which ,i .1.-1? ."i.i
tney are seieeteci is a neui no less ample, than the entire range of the
Materia Medica
To make a Prescription, then, we
must avail ourselves of such remedies as are calculated to answer the
peculiar indications in each in
dividual case. Uor example, we find on administering an Emetic,
Purgative ttr Opiate" by the stomach, that each produces a different result, though all are taken in the same manner, and pass into the same organ ; precisely so with Inhalation.
One class of inhalents is prescribed
to soothe irritation; and quiet the
cough ; another, to facilitate ex
pectoration ; a third, to arouse and stimulate t'ae enfeebled condition of the parts; a fcurth, to promote
absorption, and the removal of
Tubercular deposits; a fifth to astringe or shrink upon the parts, as
is required in uk'cration ; and a
sixth, to obviate: the condition of
spasms as :s indicated in Spasmodic
Asthma. 1' rom this we learn that it is not a.one sufficient to inhale, but it is all important, that we should inhal'3 the proper remedies ; suited
to each condition and peculiarity tf
case. The various operations and modes of treatment spoken of, although they may seem somewhat novel to many persons, are not only perfectly safe,' but. the patient usually experiences very little inconvenient'e from them.
This system not only embraces
all (hat is valuable in Inhalation of Mcdieited Vapor and Atomiz
ation, but applications of far greater
utility anJ importance, lhe treat ment is not only local, but cem
stitutional, and, yet the end is at
tained withrfut much methane

permanent cures are spceaily effected. This system ot treatment is rapidly obtaining among ti e more advanced physicians of the age, and as a result we find that disease's,
which in former years were considered incurable, now yield readily under th? hand of advancing science.
Still another class of diseases, delicate in themselves and delicate to be spoken of, but to which one-half of our race are exposed, are those peculiar to females. From the vast amount of misery arising from these diseases we take it that if any good
can be r ccomplishcd by speaking of
them, it is eminently proper to ao so. . . , - ' . The great question that comes up in the minds of those suttering from either of the class of diseases above mentioied is: To whom shall we go in order to jiccure proper treat
ment? And many from a fear of
falling into the hands of incompetent practitioners, neglect their diseases entirely until it is too lato to effect a cure. Right here will the rer.der excuso us if we speak
specifically, perhaps we all have our

Mr. Editor: Tf e idea of your contributor in the Temperance Column, in your issue of June th'sOth, calling for a "Liquor Sellers' Fare" struck me as rather a novel one. My first idea was, that the man must

Drs. Bur ihani and lisdale of our ! say ,the business is sutbciently public
city, and recommending them to the
reader, that we will not be trespassing upon the proprieties of letter writing. These gentlemen recognize the fact that it is not neeessary tc poison a person with drugs to cure the worst forms of disctase ; that the proper otiice of the Physician is not to break down, 'but to build up the constitution ; n t to make the sick man weaker, but to restore him to vigor and health. To do this, they mi ke use of over 300 distinct medicines, which they use in quantities
harmless to. injure, but potent to cu:e. Dr. Tisdale has just returned from an extended visit to Boston, New York tmd Philadelphia, where he has been visiti ng the various hospitals for the purpose of getting
all the new ideas that have been
brought to light in the treatment of
tin diseases ot the throat and lungs, nasal catarrh, etc. The Dr. has
sustained an eminent reputation as
a general practitioner, and especially in connection with this class of
surgical and medical diseases for a
number of years, and by the course he has adopted of making visits to the chief hospitals and conversing with eminent men, he keeps up with the demands of his varied and extensive practice. Dr. Burnhara, senior partner, who makes Diseases of Women a specialty, also making a similar visit. During the earlv
part of the past winter he atteneleew
the course of instruction of Dr. Storer, of Bost:m, on diseases of women, the only course of a similar character gi yen in '"America, and is, therefore, thoroughly -posted in this class of diseases. Dr. Barnham has enjoyed a leading practice in this city for the past ten years, and is, therefore, widely and favorably known, and needs no special endorsement ; still, we take pleasure in recommending him, as well as
his partner, Dr. Tisdale. There
are plenty cf quacks in die country, and it is a relief to tho afflicted to
know where to find a scientific

The -Constantinople Fiee.
The most graphic accounts of the fire at Constantinople fail to convey an
idea oi i;s horrors and destruetive-
ncss. Mors than 7,000 houses were
and 'Ha cnstoiittfS distressingly ire-
merous; As I read on, h&wcver, I became satisfied that the world at large ought to !: informed in refer.ence to the character of the work that is being so largely carried on behind the screen. With the view of helping the jieople to some of'the needed information, I take f.ie liberty to reproduce a condensed statement of facts, prepareel by. the general agent of the State Temperance . Allianee. I hope, it will be carefully raid and lirayerfutlv pondered
"by every friend' of temperance ahcl
humanity, its joijrer to destroy is thus set forth : 1st. It retards financial prof-perUy. According, to revcuue reports, the retail sales of ardent spirits amount to $1,483,191,8'35 ; or 43 for every man, woman, and child in t he nation. In five years this amount would buy every farm in the United States, at the value fixed by the census of 1860,,ind leave $519559--322. It lacks 1110,354 469 28 of the whole; amount of money coined by the general Government up to 1860. In one year it would buy all the live stoek reported in the census of 1860, and leave 292,509,784. In two years it would amount to -$564,322,839 more than the expenditures of the gener.il Government up to 1861. In t tvo years it would ay our national debt and leave 341,480,882 for the international improvement of lie country. It would feed and cloche the nation and furnish them with books, papers and periodicals, and do all their printing ibr fix e yet.rs. To allow that ten per cent, of thus amount is usej tot medicinal said mechanical purposes, we have the appalling fact that nine-tsaths of this immense sum is employed to make drunkards and not to improve the country. 2d. It destroys industry, intelligence and nioraliij ,and fills the land with ignorance, pauperism and crime. There are 419,4C4 more persons engaged in the manufacture and sale
ot ardent spirits titan tire engaged in preaching the gospel and: teaching the various branches cf' science and literature. As a resuh vrc have nearly three million persons-trho drink; 600,000 confirmed drunkards; 100,000 arinually .sent to prison ; 200,000 children dependent on charity ; and 2,000,000 children deprived of the means of securing an education. . 3d.

A distinguished President ofi
Harvard College was once asked by a brother clergyman how long it took him to write a sermon, lie said "Sometimes a week, sometimes longer." "What: ! a week to write a sermon? Ii write one in a day, and make nothing of it." "Yes," replied the Doctor,, "but I make something of mine. A singular event transpired in West Troy on Friday. A little girl,
playing among some fowls, incensed a cock, who tlew at her head and
drove his spurs into her temples. An hour afterward the child was totally blind, and at last accounts she was expected to die from her injuries. Polygamy was not a part of the Mormon religion originally. It

Bot ardent spirits kills at hast 60,000 meu. every year ; 143,9 1 1 more, iu four years, than vrere killed in battle and died from wounds during the late war ; and nearly as many as were lost in the country from all other causes. In view of these facts it becomes
the imperative duty of the people of the United States to employ means for the suppression of this ruinous traffic, which now threatens not only the destruction of all thai is good in the' nrtion, but. also the very life of the nation itselfi As a State we have paid our full share in the ruin. During the year ending June 30, i8R7,vIndi ina paid for drams the cuormcus sum of $61,418,890. In view of these damigiuj, statements, how can any man who drinks or who, either directly er indirectly makes or helps to perpetuate laws favorable to the eontinu.;nce of thU nefarious tnitne, ask a decent sober
man to vote for hua tor otnee ; and how can temperance meu reconcile
