Th? otb Section however, provided that the election for Intendant and Wardens, should be bald anaoaily on the 2d Monday lo January, end tb? 3 4 ti Section vested all the rights .powers Ac, created by the Aot, in the weimera of tho Council In office'at the time ^ lu passage (December 20, 18?0) until the *?ad Monday in January thereaf? ter, "being" as tho section goes on to declaro, "the ead of their term of offioe, at whlob time ?nd at ?ll future ?looilons an Intendant ?nd four Wardens shall be elected for said Town," and construing these two soe tiona together, it ? la plain to our mind tbat lt was tho intention of the Aot of I860, tbat the term of the offloera or tb? Counoil to be ?looted on the 2nd Monday io January lo every year, should commence with their election ?nd should terminate with tb? eUotioo of their successors on the 2nd Monday lu January thereafter. By the Otb Section or the Aotcf February. 1870, the time for adding tb? election is ohanged from the ad Monday of Jan? uary, to the 2d Monday of October in ?very year and by the 16th Section of the same Aot, the 84th Section of the Aot of I860, is ropealed. A moni? oipal corporation ls but an Agent of th? ?tate Government, created for tba purpose of aiding its prinoipal In the discharge of its duties, esp?, oially those relating to police. lu charter ts tn the nature of a simple power of attorney, and its officers are like sub-agents, having no vested right, in ?ny constitutional sente, in th? tenure of their offloes. Th? Legislature of th? Stat? may deal witb the charter of the corporation aa it pleases. It may alter or mollify its provisions or abolish thom altogether, at its mere will and pleasure, and in like muriner, it may extend or reduce the term of iu offivers, or deprive them at any time of tboir ofltcos, with or without aa elec? tion ; ?nd perhaps, the only restriction which constitutional law imposes upon the ezerolse of this absolute power, is where vested private rights of property bave been acquired by contraot under the authority of tho oharter. These the Legltdu turo cannot divest, nor oven Impair, but with this exception whenever a question arises as to whether achango bus buen made ia the obarUr, or in the tenure of office of the corporate officers, by legislative enactment-lt is simply a question of construction-what does the cnaotment mean 7 As we have already said, there ls no express provision in the charter, either in the Aot vf 1866, or the Amendments of 1870, fixing a period for the commencement ?nd expiration of the tona of office of the Intendant ?nd Wardens, and it is only by interpretation that we have rescued the conolusiun tbat tho Act of 1866, intended it to oommonco at om eleotion, and end at the noxt, the election being fixod by tho same Act, for the 2d Monday in January. When thereforo the Legislature by the amendment of lb/0, changed the time for holding the election and at the same timo* repealed so much of tho Aot vf 1806, aa In di outed thu 2d Monday in January, as the time at wbicb the term of offioe was to commc'nee and end, is It not plain that it intended to ohange the time (rom that day to the day at which the eleo? tion was now to be held. What othor object could there have been in repoaling tho 34th Seo tion of the Act of 1866-a Section wbioh had ceased to have any operation except for tho pur, poso mentioned-that ts for the pul pose of indi eating the 2d Monday in January, as the day for the commencement of the term of office of newly elected inembors of tho Council. It would have been botter if tho Aot had contained an express provision on tho subject, but still we think the intention is sufficiently clour. Upon the question whether a valid election can bo held on tho 2d Monday in Ootobor next, vr at any othor limo, until there has been further legi? lotion on the subject, wo have little, if any doubt. The 0th Section of tbe Aut of 1870, provide? that the Intemlnnt and Wurdons nf the Town of Sum? ter "shall bo elected on the 2d Monday in October of every year," und the 10th Section after provi? ding numngxt othor things, timi tho Intendant and Wardens for tho time being, ?hall give ton days publie notico of the time and pince of hold? ing tho election, and shall appoint three members of the corporation as Manager* of the election, Ac, contains two provisos-tho first, declaring that, at tho first election to be hold after tho pas sage of the Act (26th February, 1870) the Clerk of the Court. Ac, nindi givo tho ten days public notico aforesaid, and *ho second, "thia at the first election held after the passage of this Aot, the following tinco inembors of tho said corporation shall constitute tho Managers thereof." It is manifest, therefore, that there can be no election under this Aot on the 2d Monday in Ootober. Tho Legislature in effect provided that the first elec? tion after the passage ol this Act, should bo bold by Managers to be appointed by itself, but failed to make the appointment, leaving the blank for the na mos of tho Managors, in the second proviso, unfilled. It seems to ns, thereforo, that the present mem? bers nf the Council will be entitled to bold over anlil under further legislative action, a valid election shall bo held-the Intention of tho char, ter by necessary implication, being, that the members of ono Council shall bold until their successors are elected.

Somotlmes, without any assignable cause, the physical strength and animal spirits give way and a strange torpor falls alike on the body and otelleot Thoro is little or no pain perhaps, but ibo natual vigor and elasticity of tho nervous ind muscular system seems to have departed, nnd ?n indifference to tho pleasures of life, and even >f its grave responsibilities, takes the pisco nf that inmost Interest in both wbicb characterizes every nell balanced mind when in a healthy condition. This state of partial collapse is often the pre nonitory symptons of some sorious malady. It indicates unmistakably that the viul poners ar? an-uisblng and need a stimulant. In suoh cases bo effect of a few doses of H statler's Stomaoh Bitters is wonderfully beneficial. The great tonio wakes up tho system from its drowse.
