THURSDAY EVE'G, MAUCH. 23,1871. I'llKF. DISCI SSIOS. [Brief pointed letters upon »1I •objects of public interest will be welcome here. If written plainly, on one side of the sheet.], Letter from Farmvllle. Fabmville, March 21, 1871. To the Editor of the State Journal: Our people aro all aroused npou the vote to be taken on Thursday next, whether or not we shall movo the court-house to this town; and from all that I can glean, there will bo a decided majority in favor of the removal. The measure meets with violent opposition in some sections of the county, but it is really gratifying to notico how beautifully tho Republicans and tho Conservatives (alias Democracy disguised) fraternize in Farmvillo upon this question, and I am forcibly reminded of that scrip tural injunction, "Brethren, how sweet to dwell together in harmony and in love." The despised Radical of yesterday is the urbane gentleman of to-day, and until the object desired is obtained, the Republican will have a cordial welcome to the social privileges of tho sons of Farmville! IVhat wttl le their fate after tho election ? I hope, however, a brighter era is dawn ing for us, and that our peoplo may soon be guided by that wiso sentiment,that free dom of speech and the freedom of the press are the palladiu of American liberty. I am felicitating myself at the prospect of an early demise of the Legislature. Their whole course of action has been gov erned by prejudice, partisan fooling, and, alas! a reckless expenditure of tho public funds, with no fruits to gather therefrom in many instances. To oro is human to forgive divine j but wo ore not called upon to hold our peace when men grow blatant and puffed up with daily commissions of gross violations of the laws of justice and equity — endorsing the dogma of the tyrants that might makes right, violating laws of contract, and tar nishing the honor of this proud and ven erated old State, in withholding the pay ment of just debts duo tho framera of tho constitution of Virginia ; while, with un blushing effrontery and unprecedented prodigality they are lavishing per diem, unasked and uudeserved, upon members of both branches of the Legislature who ab sent themselves two weeks before the ad journment of said body. Such blind, par tisan and partial legislation is an insult to the people and a disgrace to their repre sentatives. I trust the majority of that body are politically dead. I wish them a stormy journey on tho briny waves of Salt Rivers. I'll send you another greeting in a few days. Glenmokb. PISCATORY. Showing how cheaply valuable fish may be multiplied, the Charleston Journa has the following : BASS FISH IN THE DELAWARE. Some of the descendants of tho small colony of bass that General W. VV. Shriver, of this city, transplanted in the Potomac seventeen years ago are boing transferred to stock in the Delaware. About two weeks ago, seven hundred and six blaca bass were taken from the Potomac at Harper's Ferry and transported in huge tanks to the Delaware river at Eastou. Forty-six hours were occupied in tho trans portation of the fish, during which about one hundred died, but the remainder swam off briskly upon being placed in the river, and their descendants will doubtless af ford rare sport to tho disciples of Isaac Walton on tho upper waters of tho Dela ware during many years to come. The bass in the Potomac, which ara now very numerous and grow to large size, were first placed there by Mr. Shriver in 1854. In tho spring after the opening of the Bal timore and Ohio railroad, he carried about a dozen fish from the Ohio in perforated buckets made to fit in tbo water tank of a locomotive, and placed them in the canal basin at Cumberland, where they had ac cess to the river. They are very prolific— each female producing about thirty thous and eggs in a season—and their boldness and strength protect their young from the ravages of other fish. The hundreds of thousands of bass now in the Potomac have all sprung from the dozen or more that Mr. Shriver placed there, and he may yet live to sea the Delaware and other streams east of the Alloghany mountains fully stocked with excollent fish as tbe ro sult of his foresight and philanthropy. Shad.—The Scottsville Register says : "The shad lives but a siDgle year. It is hatched in the early summer—descends the stream as soon as largo enough— feeds and fattens in tho winter at tho mouth of tho stream —ascends in tho spring to deposit its spawn—descends to die at the bottom of the ocean." Our cotemporary is mistaken in his facts. The male shad does not become fecund until it is one year old, and tho female does not carry spawn until the ago of two. "When two years old both sexes are fecund and seek the river together. These are half-grown, or two years old. The third season they are large fish, and may be termed threo years old." Sea Norris on American Fish Culture, p. 162. The same author on p. 103 says : "Tho impression that prevails among fishermen, both here and in Europe, that shad die after spawn ing, the first year, comes only from the familiar fact that fishes are in a meagre condition after spawning, aud that some of the weaker probably do die, and are seen floating."— Richmond Enquirer. Tame Codfish. —Mr. Auckland, in a recent number of Land and Water, gives an interesting account of a visit paid by him to a pond containing tr.mo codfish at Port Logan, Wigtonshire. The property in question belongs to a gentleman by the name of M'Dougall, and consists of an amphitheatre about ono hundred feet in diameter, hollowed out of the solid rock by the sea. All egress from this is pre vented by a barrier of loose stones, through which water passes freely. On approach ing tho shore of the pond many codfish of great size wore seen ; and whon a servant woman who had chargoof the fish ap proached with somo mussels, the surface of the water was perfectly alive with the struggling fish. They came close to the edge, and after a little while permitted Mr. Buckland to take hold of them, scratch them on the back, and play with them in various ways. Among other ex periments tried by him was that of hold ing a mussel in his hand, and allowing the fish to swallow his hand in the effort to obtain the mussel. These fish furnish to the proprietor an ample supply of excel lent food, the flavor being considered much superior to that of the cod taken in the open sea. Whenever needed for the table a selection can readily bo made from the most promising of thoso at hand, and tho fish secured without any dificulty. I- A correspondent of Land and Water, re the pond, fifty years ago, thero was a blind codfish in tho pool, which tho woman who had the pond in charge used to feed with limpits taken from the rock. When this fish came to the surface with the others she caught it with her fingers, sat down with it upon a stool, having a pail of lim pits, shelled, in her lap, with which sho fed it out of an iron spoon, the fish seeming to enjoy it very much. After feeding she returned it to the pond. The writer avers this to bo a fact, although he evidently RA. I.U . h. W. 11. Wade, Orand Chancellor; Ltngan It. Allen, Vice Grand Chancellor ; 11. C. G.

She lost thirty-one pieces of bono from her ankle, several from her arm, besides having ulcers in several parts of the body. Whilst iv this condition she commenced taking your Koskoo—it acted like a charm on her; under its use the ulcers gradually healed, and her Senoral health greatly improved. It certainly saved er much Buffering, and perhaps her life. I regard Koskoo a specific for all scrofulous affections. Yonr Koskeo also cured my wife of dyspepsia, from which she suffered greatly.

The asz will then thank o. or placing In their hands simple specifics which will c found efficacious In relieving and curing almost rery on* of those troublesome complaints peonlfa toth* M HKLMBOLD'S KXTBAOT OF BUOHU—Hundred* nffor en in silence, and hundreds of other, apply ainly to druggists and doctor., who either merely tantalize them with the hop. of a cure or apply emedies which make them worse. I would not wish to assert anything that would do Injustice to the filleted, bnt lam obliged to ssy that although it may b* produced from excessive exhaustion of the powers of life, by laborious employment, unwhole some air and food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coffee, aud frequent ohlldbirth, it 1. far of tener caused by direct irritation, applied to the mu uo membrane ef the vagina itself. When reviewing the causes of these distressing complaints, it Is most painful to coatemplate the at tendant evils consequent upon them. It Is bnt siin le Justice to the subject to enumerate a few of the many additional oau.es which »o largely affect th. Ifo, health, and happiness of woman in all classes of society, and which, consequently, affect more or lee* irectly, the welfare of the entire human family.— The mania that inlets for precocious education and marriage, causos the year, that nature designed for corporeal developement to be wasted and perverted in the restraint, of dree., the early confinement of school, aud especially in the unhealthy excitement of he ball-room. Thus, with the body half-clothed I and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, pervert ing In midnight revel the hour* designed by nature foi sleep and rest, the work of destruction is half accomplished. In consequence of this early strain upon her sys. ' tern, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate votary to retain her situation in school to a later day, thus aggravating the evil. When one exolte* ment fs over, another in prospective keep, the mind morbidly sensitive to impression, while the now con ■tant restraint offaahlonable drees, alxolutely for bidding the exercise Indispensable to the attainmen and retention of organic health and strength; the exposure to night air; the sudden change of tempe ratnre, the complete prostration produced by exces sive dancing, must, of necessity, produce their legiti mate effect. At last, an early marriage caps the oil max of misery, and the unfortunate one, hitherto so utterly regardless of the plain dictates and reason trances of her delicate nature, become, an unwill ng subject of medical treatment. This is bnt a truthful picture of the experience ef thousands o ur young women. Long before the ability to exercise the functions of he generative organs, they require an education of befr peculiar nervous system, composed of what is called the tissue, which 1., i common with the fe- B east and lips, evidently nnder the control of emotions and associations at an early period f life ; and, a. we .ball subsequently see, these emo tions, when excessive, lead, long before puberity, te habits which sap the very life of their victim* ere ■ nature ha* self-completed their development.
