THE EAGLE. FRIDAY. NQY. at, Local & Miscellaneous. New Advertisements. Attorney nt Law—Peterson. Administrator's Sale—King. Guardian's Sale—Hailing. Harper’s Batar—Harper & Brother’s. Harper’s Magazine—Harper & Brothers. Erbor.—The date and number on the outside of this week’s paper is the same as that of last Friday, whieh is a mistake of the printer. It should have been dated Nov. 27th, and numbered 34. The Weather—We have had during the week the usual variety of weather common to a Hoosier winter. Snow, rain and mud are blended in about equal proportions. . » Harper’s Publication.s-We call Attention to the prospectus of Harpers Monthly Magazine, and Bazar in another column.— In making up your selections of reading for the coming year do not forget these publications. The Little Pilgrim.—This is one of the best children's magazines published, being edited by' Grace Greenwood, who is acknowledged to be the best writer for childeen in America. Single copies 75 cents a year. Address L. K. Lippencott, 319 Walnut St., Philadelphia. Curch Dedication.—The Mai ionee M. E. Church will be dedicated to the worship of God on Wednesday, the 2d, of December, 1868, at the hour of 11 o’cock by Rev. L. W. Manson, presiding Elder of Ft. Wayne District. The ' people in general are cordially in- ■ vited to be present, and enjoy the benefits of the occasion. N. D. Shackleford. For the Hair.—Hall’s £egetable Sicilian Hair Renewcr is said to be the best article of the kind extant. Physicians and Chemists concede that it contains properties very beneficial to the hair, and that it keeps the scalp in a healthy condition—free from dandruff and itching sensations. It is highly ' commended by those who use it, and no doubt justly. See advertisement in another column. ——'l — - * - —— Railroad Survey.—Mr. Pomeroy and his party reached this; point on Monday, having run the entire line from Winchester to Decatur. He is well pleasd with the route, it being much more favorable for the construction of a rail I road than he had been led to expect. He started on his return on Wednesday, and as soon as prac tieablc will make out his estimate of the cost of building the road — 1 The estimate made, we will soon | be able to learn what amount the Company will require of our County to assist in building the road.

Something Wrong.—The matrimonial market is dull. There is a large stock on hand, but there teems to be considerable sluggishness in regard to contracting. In support of this statement we appeal to statistics to make good our assertion. take the month of October as a fair average of the year; the decrease in the other months lieing of a corresponding character. In the month of October, 1865, the Clerk of Adams county issued twenty-one mar-* riage licenses; in October, 1866, eighteen ;in October, 186 J twelve; • in October, 1868, nine ! There is something wrong somewhere; who is to blame? Dr Everett's Lectures.—We have been pleased with the Doctor’s lectures throughout, but cannot forbear mentioning his l*cture on the incompatibility of marriages. It is a delicate subject, but was handled in a manner that could not offend the sense of propriety of any who had the pleasure of hearing him. The facts he presented bore the impress ofi truth upon their face, and many of the ideas advanced were new. The manner in which he handled his subject was different from anything we had before beard, and throws light upon a question of vital interest to the higher and mono perfect development and civilization •four rac<

Great Excitement.—Henry McLean has removed his Clothing Store to Houston’s building, on Second street, two doors south of the Post Office, where he has opened out with a well assorted stock of Ready Made Clothing, for men and boy’s wear; also Clothes, Casimeres, Satinets, Vestings, Tailors Trimmings, and Gent’s Furnishing Goods, of all descriptions, Hats and Caps, etc., which he is selling rapidly at very low prices for each or country produce. Clothing made to order and satisfaction guaranteed. New Paper—Messrs. Petten gill <fc Co., of New York will com mence the publication of a weekly Rural and Family Paper, entitled Hearth and Home. It will be under the Editorial charge of Donald G. Mitchel; its Home and Fireside Departments will be under the supervision of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. A large corps of associate Editors of high reputation in their departments, has been enlisted in support of the entsrprise. The proprietors propose to make the paper, in subject matter as well as illustration, worthy a place in every household in the land. The Saturday Evening Post.— To those of our readers who wish a city paper, in addition to our ; own, we would recommend the Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia. The Post has recently been enlarged and beautified, and its stories are finely illustrated. It announces new Novelets by Mrs. Hosmer, Miss Amanda M. Douglas, Miss Prescott. Gustave AimI r.rd, and other distinguished wrij ters. The Post is also the cheap- . est of the first-class literary papers Specimen numbers will be sdht gratis, by writing to H. Patereon Co., 319 JFuZmm? Street, Philadelphia. _ -■ Chicago Live Stock Market.— The Tinies of tire 25th quotes goo 1 to choice steers at S ’<s 1 25 ; medium to fat steers, 85(S>5 50; common steers, 84@4 25. The sales were meager, the market at the close, had an unfavorable look for drovers. • Hogs: The range of the quotations are 86 GO to 87 50. The average weight of the first lot 181 lbs.; of the last, 286 lbs. The market opened in the morning with an advance of s@loc per 100 lbs. Packers and shippers went in lively, and the receipts of the early trains were taken readily at the advance. Toward the close, however, there was a falling off, with a good prospect of a decline in price.

’ Tiie Lady’s Friend for Decem bur. In this their Holiday num- ! her, the publishers have- achieved a brilliant success. The beautiful picture of ‘ Robert Burns and - Highland Mary;” the charmingly i unique and suggestive Frontispiece I “L aa and the Lion ;” the gay and graceful Fashion Plate; the handsome Pasha Lamp Mat. Oriental in coloring and design; the Christmas Pudding wood-cut—what an array of attractions to begin with ! The music—“Oh, Speak those Words Again !” from Byron, will please the young and the literary matter is superior, even ! for this magazine, and is contributed by a corps of the best writers in the country. The Prospectus for the next year contains unequalled induce- ' ments to new subscribers, and we advise our readers to send for a specimen number (whieh is furnished gratis), and avail themselves of the Publishers’ munificent offers.

Be warned in time. Distases like Indigestion and Dyspepsia are not to be trifled with. There is such a thing as being too late in these matters. Inflamation, or Scirrhns Cancer, or some other dangerous discase’ , may ensue, when all rfistoratives, no matter how potent, vould be ineffectual. Do not delay then. Vhth the syintoms of Dyspepsia are first experienced resort at once to the great restorative medicine, HOSTETTER* STOMACH BITTERS, and you will be safe. O But few disorders inVblve greater suffering, and. if not in itself immediately dangerous, it is the source of many deadly maladies. Even if it did not tend to greater evil, the mental and physical misery it produces is alone a sufficient reason why no pains should be spared to prevent or cure it. In no country on the face of the globe is it so completely domesticated as in our own, where it is found in nearly everv household. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are universally conceded to be the sovereign remedy for this an joying disease, as they act directly upon the diges’ive organs, correct and tone the stomach, and give renewed vitality to the system. Acting delightfully upon the nerves and soothing the brain, renders them efficacious as a mental medicine,as well as a genial stomachic. If taken as a preventive, they will be found particularly well suited to the diseases arising from the unhealthy season of autnmn, and their use will prevent the creeping, unpleasant sen»ation often complained of when the chills are stealing slowly upon the patient. ijl HALL’S BJ Vegetable Sicilian a i,iir REN EWER.
