Peterson. Notice of Survey—H. C. Peterson. Land for Sale—Mark Aspy. Commissioners Sale —D, Studabaker. Appointment of Administrator—George W. Robinson. Beligious 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. Divorced and Spliced.—Two of the fair sex released from their .matrimonial contracts at the last term of the Court -of Common Pleas, have already entered into new partnerships. This should certainly encourage the girls to ’exercise the priviliges of leap year. Pocket Book Lost. —Elias Crist lost his pocket book on Thursday, somewhere between the rear of J. R. Bobo’s lot, Decatur, and Mr. D. Reiter’s residence. It contained 810 in currency, in two notes of 85 each; one execution directed to Crist as Constable, from Esqr., Merryman, against James & "Thomas Johnson. Any person finding the same will please leave it at the Clerk’s Office, Decatur, when they will be satisfied fortheir trouble. Mpscle.—There is on dit going the rounds, that a man who physics and pukes the people of this town and surrounding country, is to cut and put up in a workmanlike manner two cords of wood, of his own selection, in a day, on a wager of 815. We forbear mentioning names for fear the good people will accuse us of spreading a rumor without a foundation. Should the man of muscle “come to time,” if possible, the public shall be apprised in time to see how the thing is done. _ New Temperance Organization. —A new temperance organization has lately been started in our midst and has the names of several of our most prominent bachunalian bonvivants attached thereto. The only objection we notice, it is on the limited partnership order. The following is the pledge and names attached, which we picked up In our perambulations about town:

“We the undersigned, whose names are annexed, pledge our selves in brotherhood, not to touch or taste ardent spirits for one month from this date. If any member break the pledge within the time specified, he shall pay ten dollars to the faithful. George Fetick. A. J. Reynolds, Lase Baker, Feb. 11, ’6B. F. W. Miesse. Phillips & Fetick Matched.— Last week a couple of belligerents met between whom there was a little account. Times are hard yon know, and collections the order of the day. Meeting last week, one of them demanded the liquidation of that “little bill,” which was as promptly refused by the other, although urged with the assurance of speedily calling to his assistance the “law” to enforce his claim. "The man of law was called upon. 'The man of law called upon delinquent, who wrathfully liquidated the claim, and just too late for the case in point, thought of an offset. The offset wad left with the man -of law to collect, who called upon the party of the first part, who soon scratched out a counter offset. This was met by another counter, qntil we became lost in the amendments which followed each other in rapid succession. The Esquire is in a maze; a labyrinth of intricacy and confusion, that so far seems endless, notwith- ' standing all modern legal appliances. The belligerents when together arch their necks like the brutes that went off the bridge together. When alone, one talks of the beauties of the S3OO exemption provision; the other is anxiously • trying to solve the problem, with all the light he can throw upon it, of the probable sum total of costs in case of an appeal to the Supreme Court.

St. Valentine’s Day.—This being leap year, and to-day St Valentine’s day, we suppose sweethearts choose a mate, or at least send professions of love and affection daintily enveloped, ycleped Valentines. We hope expectant maidens will not fail to send a bolt at the hearts bf the many crusty bachelors of Decatur’s social circle. There is—well we have the names of a dozen just dripping from the end of our pen, but we forbear—you know who we mean, and do send a shaft that will give them a momentary electric shock that may awaken them to a sense of duty, or at least shatter the hard and abdurate casing of their iron-clad hearts, so that the little god of love can transfix them with one of his fabled arrows. The door to matrimony would then open invitingly, and unfold to them indistinct visions of “paradise lost”—nearly lost to them. 0, ye crusty bachelors! Peace of mind you will never enjoy, unless the dread chaos you have thrown around you is destroyed, and you have’moved your barks on the farther side of the unknown but pacific sea of matrimohy. That is, always providing, you put yourselves under the pilotage of the dear girls.

Business Changes.—The following business changes have taken place during the week. J. H. Stone sold his Grocery store to E. Woods, who, for the present, will conduct the business. George Miller, of the firm of Mosure & Miller, in the Boot and Shoe trade, sold his interest in the establishment to Wm. Adelsperger. The business will be continued under the name and style of Mosure & Adelsperger. Benj. Ferrel, of the firm of A. Crabbs & Co., Hardware dealers, sold his interest in the establishment to Abraham Crabbs, who will conduct the businsss. The firm of Spencer & Meibers, Hardware dealers, have dissolved, Mr. Spencer purchasing his partners interest, and will continue the business. “A thing of beauty is joy forever.” And nothing is so beautiful as a picture of health. Headache, Nervous Pains, Sour Stomach, Distress after Eating, Prostrating Weakness, Disinclination for Society, Mental Despondency etc., are the rule rather than the exception with the human family, and have stamped their effects upon us all. The most effective, gentle, sudden and agreeable remedy is the Plantation Bitters.— They have probably cured and alleviated more cases the past five years than all other medicines combined. They are sold throughout the length and breadth of the land. No Better Proof Required.— It has not yet been publicly deshat the Best Chemical Saleratus made by D. B. De Land & Co., is all that its friends have claimed—that is a pure and wholesome article. This cannot be denied in face of the testimony of chemists and those best qualified to judge. It is much better than Soda. Magnolia Water.—A delightful toilet article—superior to Cologne and at half the price. MARRIED. Dec. 29th, by Rev. F. Biddle, Mr. Frederick Magley to Miss Anna M. E. Magley. Dec. 31, S. B- Merris, Esqr., Mr. John M. Hays and Sarah E. Andrews. Jan. 30th, by Rev. G. H. Jabker, Mr. Christian Fuhrman to Miss Catharine Keefer. Jan. 30th, by Rev. A. B.

SPECIAL NOTICES. CLIMAX. Pagb's Climax Salve, for Burns, Scrofola, Salt Rheum, Sores; Broken Breasts, Frost Bites, Chilblains, Stings, Bruises, Cuts, Swellings, &c., whether upon man or beast, is the most wonderful article ever produced. Other good articles alleviate; this cures. It allays inflamation, subdues pain, and heals without a scar. It is worth its weight in gold to any family, and should always be oa hand. It is warranted to do what it says every time, Moffat’s Life Filin and Phoenix Bitters were first used in private practice in 1825. They were introduced to the public in 1835, since which time theii reputation has extended, until they have asale in excess of all other Cathartic and Purifying Medicines. There is hardly a family among civilised nations who havenot personal evidence of their beneficial effects. Their great success is owing to their uniform reliability 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; another is diuretic and stimulates proper action of the kidneys; a third is emolient, loosening phlegm andhumorfrom thelungs; 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 system, and to produce health. It is not asserted Moffat,sPills are a cure all—that they will cure all complaints —but under ordinary circumstances they may be relied upon to cure Nervous andSickHeadache, Costiveness, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,Jaundice, Liver and Billious Complaints, Colds, Scurvy, General Weakness, &c. They are expressly made for these diseases. Millions upon millions of cures can be cited. In no single instance has a complaint evercome 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, &o. 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; H. Hooley, of Springfield, Pa., had Scrofula, and had to use crutches; was eured in three weeks. James D. Dolens, of Adrian, Mich., cured of Billious 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 Rumuey, N. H., of Liver Complaint, etc., etc. A box of Moffat's Life Pills, with full circulars. &c., will be sent gratis to any Physician, on the receipt of two three cen t postage stamps. Moffat's Life Pills are 25 cents per box. Moffat’s Phoenix Bitters, $1 per bottle. They are sold by all respectable dealers throughout thecontinents and the Islands of the Ocean.

WHITE & HOWLAND, Proprietors. Successors to -Dr. John Moffat, and Dr. Wm. B. Moffat,l2l Liberty street, New York. To Oonsumptivcs. The advertiser, having been restored to health in a very few weeks by a very simple remedy, after having suffered for several years with a severe lung affection, and that dread disease Consumption —is anxious to make known to his fel-low-sufferers the means of cure. To all who desire it, he will send a copy of the prescription used (free of charge), with the directions for preparing and using the same, which they will find a sure cure for Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and all Throat and Lung Affections. The only objectof the Advertiser in sending the Prescription is to benefit the afflicted, and spread information which he conceives to be invaluable, and he hopes every sufferer will try his remedy, as it will cost them nothing, and may prove a blessing. Parties wishing the prescription, tree, by return mail, will please address REV. EDWARD A. WILSON Williamsburg,Kings Co., New York. vllnlO-ly. __ Consumption Curable by Dr. Schenck’s 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 billions 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 frequentlyin 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 aljpw 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 if» to prevent talking 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.

Debility and Emaciation Both result from the lack of ability to convert the food into nutriment. How necessary, then, for those suffering from alarming symptoms to immediately resort to a remedy that will strengthen the stomach and digestive organs. For as soon as this desirable object has been accomplished, the health improves, and the patient resumes his uoual personal appearance. HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS have attained a world-wide popularity in such cases, and have been proven the best and safest means of removeing constipation, toning the stomach, giving energy to the liver, and relieving every symtom of nervousness and depression of spirits. Its cheering and beneficial effects are highly spoken of by thousands, who owe to it their restoration to health. No restorative in the annals of medicine has attained the same popularity in the short space of time it has been before the public, or has won the high endorsements accorded to this excellent tonic. Many other preparations, purporting to be correctives and restoratives, have been introduced, and have perished one by one, while the popularity of HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTER’S continues to increase, and is now recognized as a standard household medicine. The success which attends the use of the Bitters evinces at once its virtues in all cases of debility and diseases of the stomach. Certificates, almost without number, have been published, attesting its truly miraculous power in removing those painful and fearful diseases. And at this time it seems idle to do more than call attention to the great remedy of the age, in order to awaken public attention to its excellence. It is the only preparation of tho kind that is reliable in all cases, and it is therefore worthy of the consideration of the afflicted.
