Facts About -Puukenness.- The dis position towarefs indulging in strong drink is by many physiciaifs supposed to be hereditary that is a specie? of insabltyj, and that it runs in families like other forms: of madness. While the habit of drfinkenpessl is often produced by association witli too joV ial companions this does tfot exhibit sojdanger( lis a phase as when it descends from lather to son. It has been proved by the reports fof jasyluiiis for drunkards that the madness of inebriates brought :on by convi vial causes, arelnuch nrore easily cured than when produced by a iercditai,Jr! disposition to drink to excess indee(, that! upwards of five of the former cases ar cured to one of the latter.

A writer called Man Emin snt Fhyaician," writes in a New York paper as follows in regard to the treatment of consumption: "The fift announcement to's patient that ha or she has consumption is oftejn like a death knell, f The vacant stare, the toale cheek, and the convulsive igh, indicate a shock of the most profound character. Indeed, I jhave known per sons to swoon away, and requinj the most active exertions to restore them. Arid yet it b not true that consumption is necessarily a fatal dis ease. In point of fact, It is not ss fatal as many diseases which prevail in every community, and yet excite no remark. Consumption results from a perverted nutrition. Instead oi that penect health there is g&similatioii essential to sound an imperfect elaboration of the nutritive fluid, which leads, by inflammatory action or other processes, to the deposition in the lungs and other tissues of! crude material known as tuber- cle.

It progressed .rapidly toward a fatal tcrminati n. The cough, emaciation, and hectic, betrayed his condition to the most superficial observer. I condition,! but dreading to yiej iarmcd at iu d to the convic- tion of his friends that he wua a victim of this disease, he refused to be examined, or even talk" on the subject. At length he became so weak and prostrated thatj he consented to have his lungs examined, and on tho announcement of the physician that they contained large cavities, he fainted, and was rallied wit 1 great difficulty. Aroused, to a pitch of desperation, he determined that he would not lie down and die, but would betake himself to out-door life. He accordingly spent his entire days in hor?e-back exercise, sawing wood, boat-rowing, . At night he slept on a hard bed in an ou chouse, through which the wind had full play flis diet was plain and but little cooked; hii clothing coarse and scant.

J Our Resources. The resources of Virginia and North Carolina, says the Norfolk Evening II ;rald, are cxhauet less. Their mountains are bed i of mineral wealth. Their valleys and river bottoms are of boundless fertility. Their swamps and' forests yield abun dance of lumber, shingles; staves and uavnl stores. Their creeks, riven i, harbor, sounds and bays, filled with myriads of the finny tribe aud shellfish, arc literally mines of wealth and luxuries. The air and lln springs of their mountains and the ocean breqres of their eastern' borders arc iuvhroratins: and health rcstoriuu.
