The Democrats of Adams County, are requested to meet in Convention, at the Court House, in Decatur, on Wednesday, January 1,1868, for the purpose of selecting delegates to attend the Democratic State Convention, January 8,1868, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the ’Convention. A general attendance is requested. By order of the Central Committee. A. J. HILL, Chairman. ■ Magnolia Water.—A delightful toilet article—superior to Cologne and at half the price. Christmas Turkey.—Just what we haven’t got. Will not some delinquent subscriber be kind enough to —sell us one. Just So.—Work away, white trash—“the bottom rail is on top now”-—as a negro orator the other day expresseed the political situation of the South. B _ Festival.—We announced last week that the Festival would be' • held at the Methodist Church, Christmas Eve. It is now understood that it will be held at Houston’s Hall, if it can be procured for that purpose. Sold Out.—l. J. Miesse has sold the Decatur and Monroeville hack line to James Carr, late of Jay eounty. He will continue to run the Hack as heretofore, between the two places, leaving Decatur each morning and returning in the afternoon. Hogs.—Our buyers are paying 84J@5 for hogs this week. The latest quotations we have of Chicago markets are: Hogs active; sales at $5 25@7 25 for inferior to choice: Cincinnati: Hogs firm: sales active at $6 75@7 25; market closed weak. The Weather.—We had a very sudden change of weather this week. On Wednesday afternoon the rain fell, freezing as fast as it reached the ground. Thursday night it changed to snow, which continued through the day, a regular cola~bhistering snow-storm at that, leaving us snovj for tolerable sleighing. Township Convention. —The Democrats of Bluecreek township held their annual Convention on Saturday last, for the purpose of nominating township officers, and appointing a Central Committee.— We have not been furnished with their proceedings. We hope the other townships will emulate their example and organize. A Fast Darkie.—A Virginia paper, Lynchburg News, says; A manhood stole a horse, run him off, was pursued, overtaken, captured, and elected a delegate to the Convention to form a Constitution for the State, all in the course of one day. The News thinks, that none will deny that one at least, of the delegates has no capacity for bussiness. Concert.—The members of the Decatur Silver Band will give a Concert of vocal and instrumental music, and varied with negro minstrelsy, at the Court House, on Saturday night. The Band boys have labored hard for some two months, and have been at a large outlay in purchasing a Band Wagon, which has induced them to offer this entertainment to the public, to assist in defraying their expenses.— Should they meet with encouragement this Concert will be the first of a series. We hope our citizens will give them a full house. The Band deserves encouragement and that encouragement should be of a pecuniary character; will be thankfully received, and used in the manner indicated above. Tickets 25 cents.

SjmopMis of tbe Report of Secretary of Treasury, New York, December 3. The Secretary of the Treasury reports the finances, notwithstanding the continued depression of currency, in much more satisfactory condition than at the annual report. Since March 1, 1866, 8493,999,263 of interest bearing notes and certificates of indebtedness and temporary loans have been converted into bonds, and the publie debt, deducting there from the cash in the Treasury, reduced 850,905,550 during the same period. Since the first of September, 1862. the temporary loans indebtedness on five per cent notes have all been paid excepting the small amounts; the compound interest notes have have been reduced from 8217,024,169 to 871,878,040, 81,156,000 having been taken up with three per cent, certificates; the 7-30 notes hace been reduced from 8830,000,000 to 8337,811,477 while the cash in the Treasury has been increased from 888,218,055 to 8133,998,398, and the funded debt increased to 8686,506,800, The grain crops of 1866 were barely sufficient for home consumption. The expenses of the War Department, by reason of the expense and establishment of military government in the Southern States, has greatly exceeded the estimates.

The Goveenment defrauded of a large part of its revenue upon distilled liquors, and the disturbed condition of the South will postpone the time when specie payment may be resumed. The Secretary argues that the national bonds should be sustained—meaning "principal and interest of all bonds should be paid in « gold—thinks of some future time it might be wise for Congress to consider whether national banks may not be disposed of; regards the issue of legal-tenders a misfortune ; can conceive of no circumstances that would justify a further issue—which is a justification of his course in redeeeming legal tenders instead of interest bearing debt-thinks legal tenders are a false measure of value, and encourages illegitimate speculation, which he is desirous to prevent, hence cannot approve the proposition for substituting the notes of the United States for those of national bank issues. H 6 recommends the present tariff. He says there is a general sentiment among tax payers that the exemption of Government bonds from local taxation is not exactly right, and has no hesitation in addmitting he is in sympathy with the sentiment, and recomends that in future issues bonds be issued known as the consolidated debt of the United States bearing six per cent, interest, and provide that all other bonds be convened into them, and that one-sixth part of the interest be reserved by the Government and paid over to the States ding to their proportion. The Secretary estimates the receipts and expenditures for the year ending June 10, 1867, as fol-lows-—receipts, 8296,000,000; expenditures for the same period, 8295,000,000; leaving a balance of The receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30,1868, are estimated at 8381,000,000, and the expenditures for the same time at 8372,000,000, leaving an estimated surplus of 89,000,000. Since the Ist of September, 1860, the debt has been reduced two hundred and sixty-six million one hundred and eighty-five thousand, one hundred twenty-one. This reduction has been made under very unfavorable circumstances, and there is no good reason why it should not be continued until the debt is paid. The Boston Post says Western letters speak confidently of General Sherman’s nomination for the Presidency. The U. S. war steamers De Soto and Monengahela have both been lost in the late gale. —BUSINESS NOTICES. JU. V. B.

They are cheap, safe and reliable. Sold by all respectable dealers every where: CLIMAX. A plain statement of facts. 1 inherited Scrofula, and many of my relations have died of it. In 1889 my case was frightful. Tumors and ulcers spread until in 1832, under the advice of my physicians I went to Avon Springs. I re--ceived no benefit—tried every medicine and did everything I could. I had to rest my arm on a cushion, and had not been able to raise it to my head for over a year. The discharge from two ulcers was nearly a pint a day. Amputation was recommended; but pronouuceddangerous. I could not sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A friend bro’t me au English physician who applied a salve with which h j said he had accomplished extraordinary cures in the hospitals in England. It commenced to relieve; I persisted in its use; it finally effected a perfect and entire cure. It is now 1848. It is five years since I had the appearance of a scrofulous sore, and my health has been good ever since. I procured the receipt of this wonderful article—this blessing of humanity—and have called it “Page’s Climax Salve,” and allow the public to use it or not as they’ choose. This is a brief but candid statement, given more fully in my circular. J. M. PAGE. Geneva, New York, December, 1848. New York,Oct. 16, 1866. , “I have known J. M. Page, Esq., of Geneva, N. Y., for many years. He is one of the first citizens of Western New York. I saw him last week in good health. His case was a most remarkable one, but actually true in every particular. (Signed) Demas Barnes,” We have watched the unaided but growing favor of “Page’s Climax Salve,” and availing ourselves of the knowledge of its wonderful curative powers, have become proprietors of the same. It is a sure cure for Burns, Scalds, Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Broken Breasts, Frost Bites, Chilblains, Stings, Bruises, Cuts, Swellings, &c., whether upon man or beast.

We believe there was never anything like it in the world. It is put. up in tin boxes, surrounded by a full circular giving facts, directions, testimonials, &c„ and can be ordered through any respectable Druggist throughout the world. Price only 25 cents. WHITE & HOWLAND, Successors to J. M. Page, 121 Liberty street, New York. Consumption Curable by Dr. SchenckTs Medicines. To cure Consumption, the system must be prepared so that the lungs will heat. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach must first be cleansed and an appetite created for good wholesome food, by these medicines will be digested properly, and good healthy blood made; thus building up the constitution. Schenck’s Mandrake's Pills cleanse the stomach of all billious or mucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is nutricious as well as medicinal, by using the three remedies, all impurities are expelled from the system, and good, wholesome blood made, which will repel all disease. If patients will take these medicines according to directions, Con ■ sumption very frequently in its last stages yields readily to their action. Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. It does not follow that because the bowels are not costive they are not required, for sometimes in diarrhoea they are necessary. The stomach must be kept healthy, and an appetite created to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to to act on the respiratory organs properly and allay any irritation. Then all that is required to perform a permanent cure i« to prevent taking cold. Exercise about the rooms as much as possible, eat all the richest food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything the appetite craves ; but be particular and masticate well. [2dw.ea.mo.ly.

Habitual Constipation—How io Effect a Certain and Permanent Cure. Some occupations of life predispose to Costiveness, especially those which allow but little exercise. Persons who contract this unfortunate habit of body, under such circumstances, might possibly be relieved by changing their sedentary employments for others of a more active kind; but this L by no means certain. Habitual constipation is a very obstinate disorder. All the ordinary socalled remedies invariably aggravate it. Nothing can be more injurious than the continued use Os strong aperients. They at first irritate, and Anally almost paralize the bowels—rendering them so torpid that enormous doses of cathartic medicines have no effect upon them. A mild aperient, combined with a gentle stimulant, is the trnS Remedy; and a combination in the happiest proportion, of these ingredients, is found in HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS. This famous Stomachic invigorates the whole Intestinal canal, while quietly removing from its convultions all impediments to a free passage through them. No mere purgative has this double operation. No ordinary stimulant effects the desired object. Cases of Constipation abandoned as hopeless by distinguished medical men have been cured in a few weeks by the Bitters. To those who have tried all the medicines of the dispensatory in vain, we say try this irresistable . stimulant and aperient. There is no sufficient reason why Constipation should be the consequence of sedentary habits. HOSTRTTER’S BITTERS, by supplying the vigor which would otherwise bb derived from exercise, will in all cases enable the system to perform its excretory functions regularly and healthfully.
