THE EAGLE. FRIDAY, JAN. 31, 1868. 181 | ■■ .... = Local & Miscellaneous. New Advertisements. Sale of Lands—B. Worden. Notice of Survey—H. C. Peterson. Announcement—Charles Conrad. -■■■ - ' _ Beligious Notice.—Notice is hereby given that the members of the Baptist Church will hold a meeting, at the Church in Pleasant Mills, on Saturday, February 22, 1868, for the purpose of electing three Trustees for said Church. J. JOHNSON, Ch. Cl’k. Burglary.—Mr. Henry Shrader’s Marble Shop was broken open one night last week and between twenty and thirty chisels taken. It is supposed that they were stolen to make up a burglar’s “kit” for operating on safes, etc. Look oat for them. A Colt, calibre thirty-two, id very handy in an emergency. Let all our people prepare for such visitors, and it will soon be too risky business to follow for a living. New Churohes.-A Christain Uuion Church has been organized in Kirkland township. The members are circulating a subscription paper to raise means to build a house of worship, with every prospect of success. The Baptist’have purchased the two story frame, on the west of the Main street of Monmouth, and intend to remodel it into a Church. The building is conveniently located, cost but a nominal sum, and is well adapted to the purpose intended by the denomination. “Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, And, with some sweet, oblivious Tant idote, Cleanse the foul bosom of the perilous stuff That weighs upon the heart?” Certainly; Plantation Bitters will do it when nothing else will.— Melancholy, Depression, Hypochondria, Insanity, all spring, more or less, from a diseased stomach, and this, Plantation Bitters is a sure cure for. There is no mis take about it; Dyspepsia, Headache, Dullness, Ague, and Low ♦ Spirits’must yield to the healthgiving and genial influence of the Plantation Bitters. If you are in doubt, make one trial and be convinced. Thus say e who know.

New Goods—Spring Styles.— The popular firm of Root & Co., of the New York Store, No. 90 Columbia Street, Fort Wayne, have commenced receiving their stock of Spring Goods. This firm is always watching the market for desirable styles, and for the purpose of taking advantage of any reduction in prices, one of them resides in New York, and gives his entire attention to the purchase of goods, consequently they are building up an enviable reputation for selling desirable goods at the lowest figures possible. They make dry goods their specialty, and we invite the attention of our readers to the inducements they offer in their advertisement. We know their .stock to be as good and complete as represented. Shanksville Burglary.—We have further particulars of the arrest and sentence of the burglars who robbed Mr. C. W. Alexander’s safe, mentioned in our issue of January 17th. The Standard of last week says that one of them, John Eachus, was indicted and is under bonds to answer at the next term of the court of Common Pleas. He, we understand, played the part of informer, as was ascertained by a letter he had written to one of the burglars, which was found upon the person of one of them at the time of the arrest, giving them the amount in the safe, and the surroundings, which enabled them to accomplish the robbery. Spencer Boyles and Howard, three of the active participants in the burglary, upon trial plead guilty and were sent to the penitentiary for three years each, except Howard, who played the role of an innocent young man and thus got off with only one year. Howard had only been’discharged from the penitentiary twelve days when he was returned again for this crime, it being his third conviction.

The Test of Science.—A closeanalysis of the celebrated Chemical Saleratus, made by D. B. De Land & Co., at Fairport, Monroe County, N. Y., will show that it contains no matter deleterious to health, and when used in the quantities prescribed it will produce the most wholesome and nutrious bread. It is put up in red papers and sold by the popular grocers everywhere. It is better than Soda.

A Clergyman Run away With the Wife of A Parishioner. The following is taken 'from a late number of the Detroit Free Press: Rev. Jason W. Kellogg, formerly pastor of the Seventh street Methodist Church in this city, and more recently of Dearborn, eloped on Thursday night last, with the wife of William Moorhouse, a wealthy farmer, living about three miles from Dearborn. The reverend eloper and his victim first went to Ypsilanti, when the former first disposed of his horse and carriage, and wrote a letter to the present incumbent of the Methodist Church at Dearborn, in which he stated that he should, continue to preach hypocritically adding that he should strive to be a christain, and expressed the pious hope that both should meet in heaven. Kellogg, left a wife and two children, “for reasons best known to himself,” as he also informed them.— Whither the infautuated couple have gone is at present unknown, but Mr. Ladd, the father of Mrs. Moorehouse, is on the track, determined not to abandon the search until they shall be found. The character of Mrs. Moorehouse has hitherto been above reproach, and her family are overwhelmed with tire obloquy she has brought upon them.— Detroit Free Press. • A man who registered his name as J. Kelley, Toledo, 0., stopped at the Burt House, Decatur, on the 22d inst. He had with him a small woman, with dark brown hair, cut short, with one of her front teeth partly broken off. Kel-' ley was a tall straight man, dark curly hair, long black whiskers. He carried a gutta percha cane, upon the head of which was carved “Rev. J. W. Kellogg.” Following the name a word had been erased, doubtless his residence. We have no doubt he is the man referred to by the Press. He went from this place to Bluffton, Ind.— While here he said his residence was in Michigan, and that he passed the Sunday night previous, at Angola,, Stuben Co., Ind.,'and was on his way to visit some relatives, besides telling other inprobable stories, and otherwise actins strangely.

Moffat’s Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters were first used in private practice in 1825. They were introduced to the public in 1835, since which time their reputation has extended, until they have asale in excess of all other Cathartic and Purifying Medicines. There is hardly a family among civilized nations who have not personal evidence of their beneficial effects. Their great success is owing to their uniform reliab : lity incases of Constipation, Billions and Stomachic diseases, whether of long or short duration. They are entirely vegetable in their composition, and harmless to the gentlest infant. One ingredient opens the pores of the skin; anotheris diuretic and stimulates proper aclion of the kidneys; a third is emolient, loosening phlegm andhumorfrom the lungs; other properties are warming and cathartic, and cleanse the stomach and bowels from unhealthy secretions. Their combined effect is to regulate the impaired functions of the syotem, and to produce health. It is not asserted Moffat,s Pills are a cure all—that they will cure all complaints—-but under ordinary circumstances they may be relied upon to cure Nervous and Sick Headache, Costiveness, Djspepsia, Indigestion, Jaundice, Liver and Billions Complaints, Colds, Scurvy, General Weakness, &c. They are expressly made for these diseases. Millions upon millions of curescan be cited. In no single instance has a complaint ever come to our knowledge, where they have not operated as recommended. The printed circular around each box fully explains the symptoms and effects of each disease, specifies treatment, furnishes evidence, &c. We briefly refer to Rev. David Elder, Franklin, N. C., who was cured of Dyspepsia; C. R. Cross, of Theoike, 111., cured of Liver Complaint; 11. Ilooley, of Springfield, Pa., had Scrofula, end had to use crutches; was cured in three weeks. James D. Dolens, of Adrian, Mich., cured of Billions Fever; Rev. Henry Graham. Presbyterian Church, Granagua, Cal.,of Feverand Ague; Rev. Ed. H. May, Twenty-First New York, of Rheumatism and Piles of 25 years standing; Rev. Samuel Bowles, Editor of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican was cured of terrible Costiveness; Hon. Ed. Webber, of Rumney, N. H., of Liver Complaint, etc., etc. A box of Moffat’s Life Pills, with full circulars. &•., will be sent gratis to any Physician, on the receipt of two three cent postage stamps.

Which should reign in thousands of households, if it should be suddenly announced throughout the United States, Canadas, the West Indies and Spanish America that no more HOSTETTER’S BITTERS would be manufactured, and that henceforth theyrandspect/Jc for Dyspepsia, and preventive of all malarious diseases would be lost to the icorldl The bilious, the feeble, the dispondent; the traveler, the voyager, the miner, the sedentary student; the settler on the frontier of civilization: the toiler, cooped up in crowded city tenements; the convalescent, needing an invigorant; the shivering victim of ague, and the nervous of both sexes everywhere, would learn, with grief, too deep for words, that the most celebrated corrective, invigorant and alterative of the age. had been blotted out of existance. As a preparatory antidote to epidemic disease, a genial stimulant, a promoter of constitutional vigor, an appetizer, a stomachic, and remedy for nervons debility, ao no medicinal preparation has ever attained the reputation of HOSTETTER’S BITTERS. It is the Household Tonic of the American peo pie— has been so for twenty years, and in all human probability will be so for centuries to come. The magnates of Science recognize its merits; and that it is emphatically the medicine of the masses is proved by its vast and ever increasing sales.
