ggy* Concerning pork, Hall's Journal of Health says "there is no trouble in eat-* ing pork in cold climate. It is neoded— or some .fatty meat—for the support of life, wbilo at the South vegetable diet is better. But whether the hog should be eaten depends oh tho manner in which It is kept. If he is kept as a mere scaven^ ger on filth and rottenness the meat would ho unfit to eatvas the food must enter into its composition. We see this in the difl'erece between tho hogs fed on acorns and those fed on corn. Any animal that lives on the filth and waste of cities should be rejected as food1. But if the hog can be kept cleanly and on proper food, pork is as healthy as beef, or poultry, or fish."
TERKE HAUTE AND ST. Louis RAIL. ROAD WHKRK WILL IT BE LOCATED, AND WHEH WILL IT BK BUILT?—It has been asserted for the last fifteen years, by thiiso living along the line of what is known as tho Brough. eurvov, that they would have a railroad built beyond a doubt. The »&mo is being asserted again. The engiueers are now surveying the line again. But what authority there is for believing that this road will be built on that line any more than in former years, is not plainly seen. It i9 not Known that men of capital and reputation iu railroads, and particularly in Terre Haute, havo determined to build this road on tho Brough lino. It is known that they aro taking no part in it whatever.
Doubtless the people of Terre Haute and also railroad men cast of that place, believe that the public interests demand an extension of railroad from Terra Haute to St. Louis on the shortest, cheapest and most piacticable route. The Terre Haute aud Indianapolis road, aro of this opinion we think, without being scared into it. And whilst tho public has been harrassed and ding-donged with this Brough line, which has rather an unpleasant oder at least it will not bo out of place, at this time of railroad commotions, to refresh the memory of the public with the advantages of what we call the Rose Line, surveyed by Mr. Bacon. This line, of all others, should be adopted, from the following facts: It is the cheapest, shortest, and most practicablol This route, without increasing the distance, places the road near, er mid-way between the Ohio & Mississippi and tho Terre Haute & Alton roads.—
Jt passes over a less elevated portion of tho country and a moro fertile soil. A careful survey will show that it will be by far the cheapest route.
The people oil this line will do their do* ty, when they know that men of capital are at tbe head of the work. They are aware that they cannot build the road themsolvos, but will do their duty either by donation or subscription. The people know that in this late day of railroad improvements, there will be no road built unless men of oapital take hold of them in the start. ILLINOIS.
A man whose name we could not

SUPPOSED SUICIDE.—The dead body of Ann Harris, a prostitute, was found last Wednesday night, in an old house near the Tannery, a,mile north of the city.— An empty bottle which had contained laudunum, was also found near her, and it is supposed that alone and unattended, she resorted to this drug to put an end to her troubles.
KILLED.—Friday night a train on the St. Louis road ran over the body of James McCrea, a short distance this side of Si Mary's, causing instant death. He was a laborer, and had recently been di charged from the road. It is supposed ike was intoxtcated, and laid down on the track, where he fell asleep to awake in notber world.

ATTORNEY GENERAL.—We find the following correspondence in yesterday's Indianapolis Journal. Tbe name there mentioned will be heartily supported in this part of the State in fact throughout the State, and we sincerely hope Col. Twill allow his name to come before the Convention:
TERBE HAUTE, Dec. 19,1867-
The Republican State Convention, for the nomination of candidates for the State offices, will be held soon in your city. It is especially important at this time that the Republicans should make up their ticket of the ablest and best men in tho State. The canvass, which is fast approaching, will probably be one of the most thoroughly contested known in our political history hence our candidates shoul dpossess the qualifications necessary to command public confidence and .reiped, and «ecuro tbe greatest Strength to the party. Several distinguished and worthy gentlemen have been mentioned in the papers for the office of Attorney General. While your correspondent does not desire to institute comparison between the distinguished men mentioned for that position, nor yet to disparage the claims of any one, he, however, suggests the nomination by the Convention of Hon. R. W. Thompson of this place. His selection for the office of Attorney General would add immense strength to the ticket in this part of the State, as well as elsewhere. Your correspondent has had no intimation whatever that Colonel Thompson desires or would accept such a nomination, yet if he can be induced to allow his name to be placed upon the ticket, it will endow it with a prestige and force which can not be secured in any other quarter. Words of praise or encomium on this distinguished states man aro unnecessary. His fame as an or ator, jurist and patriot is co-extensive with the Union his best powers have been employed to defend and perpetuate.—
Hence I close this note to the Journal by urging °ur Union friends to nominate for the office of Attorney General, B. W Thompson. NrcaotAJi.

Crane, for sovera years past successfully engaged in the insurance business in",this city, has associated with biui Capt. S. C. Scott, lato of the firm of Jobn Scott & Son. They propose devoting their whole attention to five, life and accident insurance, transfers of real estate and tho collection claims.
How WE FKKEZU TO DEATH.—NOW that we are iu danger of freezing to death —that is, it we 6tay ou- in tho cold long enough, it is a Batisfactioq to learn tho cause of death and the process by which it is reached. We therefore publish the following remarks made by M. Pouchet, a member of the French Academy of Science upon freezing to death, believing that if any of our readers thould irieet such a fate, it would be a consoloiion to thorn, to know the various stages through which they passed, and nt what point recovery commenced to be difficult, and when impossible. Wo invite especial attention to the third point for if ttrnt i* understood, a saving of hair brushes, brandy, hot water, sugar, etc., may bo effected.
The Professor says: 1. That the first phenomenon produced by cold is a contraction of the capilliary vessels to such an extent that a globule of blood cannot enter these vessels, which therefore remain completely empty. 2. The second phenomenon is an alteration of the blood globules, which amounts to their complete disorganization. 3. Every animal eompleteiy frozen, is absolutely dead, and no power can reanimate it. 4. When only a part is frozen, that part is destroyed by gangrene. 5. If the part frozan is not extensive and onlya few disorganized blood globules pass into circulation, the animal may recover. 6. But if, on the contrary, tho frozen part is of considerable extent, then tbe mass of altered globules brought into the circulation when the part is thawed, rapidly kills the animals. 7. For this reason a half frozen animal may live along time if maintained in the condition, since the altered globules do not get into the circulation but it expires rapidly as soon as the frozen part is thawed. 8. In all cases of congelation, death is due to t£ie alteration of the blood globu les, and not to any effect on the nervous system. 9. It results from these facts tbat tho less rapidly the frozen part is thawed, the more slowly altered globules find their way into tbe circulation, and the greater the chances of the recovery of the ani mal.

EDITORS EXPRESS:—The following very flattering notice of Dr. J. B. Buchtel, ta^ ken from the St. Joseph Valley Register published at South Bend Indiana, the Dr's. former home, we hand you for publication. And in presenting it, permit me to say, that Dr. Buchtel has been my former family physician, and from person* al knowledge, I heartily endorse the well deserved encomium here passed upon him. He is indeed a master in his profes* sion, and besides, is just such a christian gvntleman, as any family would want with them in the hour of affliction. He is BOW permanently located in our city and we bespeak for him a liberal share of the public patronage. He may bo found in his office on Main street, next door to the well known Clothing Store of Hartsock & Bannister. C. A. BROOKE,
Pastor of Asbury M. E. Church.
Terre Haute, Dec. 21, 1867.
We aro sorry to learn that Dr. J. B. Buchtel, so long and well-known to the people of this County as an able and successful practitioner in the healing art, is to loave to-day (Thursday) for Terre Haute, where he is to engage in the practice of his profession. He has been here for 14 yoars, and has acquired a large practice, which ho leaves to his son, Dr. W. H. Buchtel. We remember years ago of his being called as counsel in the most difficult and hopeless cases, and that in most of them he was successful in saving life if not in effecting a restoration to health. We hope that he will meet with success in his new field of labor and win many friends. We can recommend him -as a master in his profession and a gentlema i. His family will remain here for the present. d2t»wlt.,1
A MATTER OF DUTY—It is the solemn duty of every grocer to refrain from selling to his customers an article for food which be known is postively injurious to the health and he is deprived of all excuse for so doing when abetter article for the purpose can be readily obtained at the same cost. Now the pure Chemical Saleratus, made by DeLand & Co can always be bad, and this is known to be puro and free from all deleterious matter. No grocer who regards the welfare of his customers will fail to keep it. dwlt
