THE EAGLE. DEC. 18, IB6S. *Local & Miscellaneous. New Advertlsementi. Fruit House—White. Administrator’s Notice—Aspy. Skating.—The skating is splendid on the river, and is being improved. Delinquent TAXES.-The Treasurer is preparing his list of delinquent taxes for publication. It will appear next week. Died. —G. D. Hackett, Esqr., an old resident of Union township, died on Saturday night, of Consumption. Festival. —The ladies of the Methodist Church propose giving ■a festival at the church, either Christmas Eve or Christmas night. Hymenial.—We understand Mr. Homer J. Ransom has joined the onion army of Benedicts. Who the fair lady is we cannot inform ■our readers. Subscriptions to the Railroad. —The Committee appointed at the railroad meeting, Thursday week, have been quite busy in soliciting subscriptions. Sleighing Party.—Tuesday a sleighing party of twenty-four couple, from Monroeville, stopped at the Burt House. They were a social set and had a pleasant time. In Demand.—Our wagon shops are turning out sleighs and every species of vehicles on runners, working to their utmost capacity and are unable to fill orders promptly. In Decatur.—Our former fellow townsman, James Lally, has purchased the jewelry establishment of Ezra Lyster, in Decatur. Mr. Lally is a splendid workman, and the citizens of that place maj’ congratulate themselves upon having such a man in their midst.Ft. Wayne Democrat. Hostetter’s Almanac.—Messers. Hostetter & Smith, proprietors of the celebrated Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, have issued their Almanac for 1869, In addition to usual testimony as to the virtues of their medicine, the Almanac is made up of attractive ingPetit Jury.—The following is a list of the petit Jurors of the Court of Common Pleas, January Term, 1869: Daniel Garver, Solomon Shrull, Jonathan Bowers, Enoch ReiflTe, Alexander Eicher, Lot French. Jeremiah S. Danner, John Hartman, David Aber, Detrick Reiter, Jeremiah Archbold and John Sard.

Sleighing.—Every body who can turn out a fast nag, a medium nng, a slow nag, or a nag of anj’ capacity for speed, are out those times sleighing. The merry sleigh bells jingle; sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks the merry damsels have, and old bachelors suffer with the heartache when they turn their batteries upon them. We believe sleighing a good institution, accompanied by necessary es caettrat. Personal.—We have received a late number of the Potawatomie Gazette, published at Louisville, Kansas. It is under the editorial control of Mr- Jas. C. BranyaN, who it will be remembered was temporarily located at this place, but took up his line of march, westward ho! and finally located as above. Barring his politics we wish Mr. Branyan every success in his new undertaking, and take pleasure in entering the Gazette upon our exchange list. Look Here.—At the new brick grocery you will find Frank Miesse at home. He has the finest stock of fancy candies and confectionery, for the holidays, ever brought to town. His line of groceries is full and complete, and in prices is below competition.— Frank says he is permanently located in a building of his own, and Invites all his old customers and everybody else to give him a call and verity this statment by an axamination of his goods and pricaa

Change of Prices. —Dont fail to read the new ‘price list in the Fruit House column. A reduction of 25 pel* cent, has been made on the entire stock for the holiday trade. Good brown sugar for 10 cents, the best for 12| cents, and the best crushed white sugar 16 cents. We can’t in this article but simply call attention to the great reduction in prices, which will be found in their price list, and which we hope all will read to their profit. New Paper.—Messrs. Harding, Morton & Finch have commenced the publication of an evening paper, at Indianapolis, Indiana, called the Daily Evening Mirror. Its editorials, locals and selections indicate that the paper is under the control of men who know their business. The Mirror is not partisan, but does not fail to record its convictions in a plain and independent manner. Mr. Harding was long and favorably connected with the Sentinel. We predict the Mirror is in the hands of men who know how to make it a success. Peterson's Magazine for January is already out; the most brilliant we have seen. The superb Colored Berlin Pattern alone is worth twice the price of the number. Then there are two Steel Engravings, one of them, ‘Mud Pies,’ with the cunningest little children ; a double sized Colored Steel Fashion Plate; and more.than fifty wood-cuts of Fashions, Embroideries and other Patterns. The stories are of the highest class; besides, each number contains many valuable recipes for housekeepers. Now is the time to subscribe for 1869. Terms 82 a j-ear.

Peter son, 306 Chesnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. ■ ' _ Something New.—We are always glad to notice all new improvements and among those worthy of notice is the Spoke Factory of our enterprising fellow townsman, H. W. Shackley. He commenced business in this place but a few years since, as a Carriage and Wagon maker, and has gradually enlarged, until his business now amounts to thousands of dollars annually, and is still increasing. He has recently added to his establishment a spoke lathe and machinery for sawing felloes, and is now prepared to deliver the first qualitj’ of hickory and oak spokes, felloes, poles, neck yokes, single trees, bows, ax, hammer and hatchet handles, in any desired quantity. He contemplates adding steam bending works to his already extensive facilities for manufacturing wagon and carriage material, in a short time, when he will have one of the most complete establishments of the kind in the State, and one that will be worthy the attention of carriage makers abroad, who require carriage material, and which, for superior workmanship and excellence of timber, we think, cannot be excelled. —

The IVegro Member. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial describes Menard, the negro Congressman, as follows; By far the most insignificant ob ject seen on the floor was the Hon. Mr. Menard, Congressman elect from Louisiana. It was the first ray—or, rather the first shade of the coming cloud. The race is to be represented on the floor of Congress, and I looked with some interest on this first specimen.— He is a man- of about forty-five, of medium size as to height, well formed, with an intelligent face, rather good head, and of a bright mulatto color. He is said to be an amiable gentleman, and quite rich. He stood in an easy, quiet way, near the cloak room, and stood alone. My friends, thehotgospelers. did not surround him much, and Butler (the Beast) did not put his arms around his neck. General Grant, with Generals Dent, and Parker, and Colonel Lest, of hie staff.

Iwm. 4 DDRESS TO THE NERVOUS AND debilitated, whose sufferings have been protracted from hidden causes, and whose cases require prompt treatment to render existence desirable: If you are suffering, or have suffered, from involuntary discharges, what effect does it produce upon your general health? Do you feel weak, debilitated, easily tired? Does a little extra exertion produce palpitation of the heart? Does yout liver or yotir urinary organs, or your kidneys frequently get out of order? Is your urine sometimes 'hick, milky, or flocky, or is it ropy on settling? Or does a thick scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated? Do you have spells of fainting or rushes of blond to the head? Is your memory impaired? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon this subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of company, of life? Do you wish to be left alone, to get away from everybody? Poes any little thing make you start or jump? Is your sleep broken or restless? Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as well? Do you pursue your business with the same energy? Do you feel us much confidence in yourself? Are your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits of nielancholly? If so, do not lay it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless nights! Your ! back weak, your knees weak, and ha.-e but little appetite, and yottattribute this to dyspepsia or liver-complaint? Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of producing a weakness iof the generative organs. The organs of generation, when in perfect health, mike the man. Did you ever think that those bold, defiant, energetic, persevering, successful business-men are always those : whose generative organs are in perfect i health? You never hear such roencom- ' plain of being melancholly, of nervousness, or palpitation of the heart. They are never afraid they cannot succeed in ■ business; they don’t become sad and dis coitraged; they are always polite and pleasant in the company of ladies, and look them right in the face—none of your downcast looks or any other meanness about them. Ido not mean those who keep the organs inflated by running to excess. These will notonlyruih their constitutions, but also those they do business with or for. How many men, from badly-cured diseases. from the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought about that state of weakness in those organs that has reduced the general system so much as to induce almost every other disease—idiocy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost every other form of disease which humanity is heir to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and have doctored for all but the right one. Diseases of these organs require the use of a Diuretic. HELMBOLD'S FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU is the great Diuretic, and is a certain cure for diseases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsy, Organic Weakness, Female Cotnp'aint's, General Debility, and all diseases of the Urinary Organs, whether existing in Male or Female, from whatever cause originating, and no matterif how long standing. If no treatment is submitted to, Consumption or Insanity may ensue. Our flesh and blood are supported from these sources, and the health and happiness, and that of Posterity, depends upon prompt use of a reliable remedy.
