THE EAGLE. FRIDAY. IEB. ft, IS«9. Local & Miscellaneous. ~New Advertisements. • Notice to Non-Rgsidents—-Hill. Sheriff* Bale— StoojMi. License Notice —SmtSi. r r • Administrator’s Sale—Class. 4 ?' • Administrator’s Sale—Glass. • Appointment of Administrator—Hill. « Attachment Notice—Grim. Taxes.—Up to last Saturday, some 815,000 had bean collected on the tax duplicate of 1868, leaving a balance of 863,000 for somebody to foot. Look 01-t—Our exchanges maintain that it is an old saw, that a thunder storm in January will bring a frost on the corresponding day in May. Slanderous —An Eastern exchange says: “Shingle weddings” have been started in Indiana, to be given by newly married couples if they have lived together happily for one year. They are not a frequent occurrence. Dangerous.—Some of these dark nights we expect to chronicle a neck or leg bfoken, from falling through holes in our sidewalks.— Os late years our officials are very negligent in requiring property holders to keep their walks in proper repair. Temperance Reconstruction.— We have no need of a good hand for laying the “worm” of a Vir giuia saake fence, but if we had, we should certainly have tried to employ some of the young men who renewed their vows, last Fri day night. Shame! Onward —We havejust received the second number of Mayne Reid's new magazine, “Onward.” Two new aerials, “The Lost Sis ter” and “Yellow Chief’ are continued. The admirers of Mayne Reid's writings will not fail to read “Onward.” It is for sale at all bookstores and news depots.

Tax Salk. —The Treasurer's annual sale of lands delinquent for thj non payment of taxes took place on Monday. Tbpre were plenty of moneyed men on hand anxious to pay the taxes, and in many cases paid the same for surprisingly small fractions of the delinquent land. The sale amounted, in the aggregate, to about one thousand dollars, and was completed before twelve o’clock. A Youthful Couple.—The clerk of the Hustings Court, of Lynchburgh, Virginir, on Saturday Inst issued a license to Frank Goode, aged ninety to marry Phoebe Thweatt, nged seventy years. The expectant bridegroom averred that he was one hundred and seven years of age, and his appearance plainly indicated that he was old enough to govern his own course in life—even to the choosing of a bride—but the clerk put him down at ninety. He wanted to marry because, being an orphan, he need ed somebody to keep him out of bad company. Cincinnati Richmond & Fort Watni Railroad.—The Board of Commissioners met in extra ses•ion at the Court House, Thursday, January 28th„upon call of the Auditor, to take into consideration the petitions of tlie taxpayers of the County, praying them to sub scribe 850,000 in addition to the 8100,000 heretofore taken, in the C. R. <fc Ft. W. railroad. The petitions were presented bv Henry McT.ean and Joseph Crabbs, signed by fourteen hundred and fifty voters and tax payers of the County. „ The Board after due consideration in the premises found that the petitions were subscribed by a largo majority of the voters and tax pavers of the Conntv, and caused to be entered of record an order subscribing the amount j named in the petitions, conditioned thut the road locate their line through Decatur; one-half of the money to be paid when the road Is completed through the County. Should the road be located hefore the first of June the Board will make the levy necessary to 1 raise the required fhnds. If Jay County raises the rcqnir ed amount the building of the road is only a question of time

Kissing.—We have heard of but one old woman that kissed her cow, but there are a great many young ones ‘‘in these parts,” who kiss and repeat, extensively, great calves. Herald or Health.—We publish on the outride an artMba from f this magazine, * entitled ‘‘‘Bone Food—A Plea for Bran” which will be found worthy of attention. It is a periodical that should have a place in every household. Subscriptions 82 per year. Address Miller Wood <fc Co., 13 <fc 15 Laight street, New York. \ Western Musical Review. — We have received the January number of the “Review,” H. L. Benham tfcCo., Indianapolis, pro prietors. Subscriptions 81 a year. It is a journal of Music, Art and Literature. The music is worth three times the subscription price . besides. Its literary mater is of the highest order of excellence. This number contains “Maggie L‘Roy,” song and clioius, words by Dexter Smith, music by S. B. Charles, which we are sure will please our musical friends.

CHURCH BELLES. Coming in couples, Smiling so sweetly, Up the long aisle Tripping so neatly. Envying bonnets— Envying laces, Nodding nt neighbors, Peering in faces. Whispering softly, Heeding no sermon; WJiat they go there for Hard Io determine. On all around them Gazing beningly, Wholly unconscious, Singing divinely. Prosy discoursing Don't suit tljeir whims. Plain they assemble Just for the “hims.” Sympathetic Radical.—We take it that Senator Church, of Porter, is one of the most intensly sympathetic man that we have any knowledge of. To illustrate: Soon after the commencement of the present session of the Legislature, a Radical Senator moved that the Senate employ three soldier's orphans, to be taken from the Soldier's Home, to act as pages of the Senate. Sen ator Church sprang to his feet, and ,in a pathetic manner informed the Senate that there were poor widow's sons quite as much objects of charity as the orphans of the Soldier's Home; he was opposed to the motion and it did not prevail. Ae a sequel to the above it is only necessary to state that Senator Church’s son is one of the pages of the Senate. Mr. Church is now known as'the widow from Porter lu conclusion we would remark j that Mr. Church is “truly loyal,” > and was a supporter of Cum back for the U S. Senate.

Woman’s Rigiitt.—The Cinci:i nati 'Tele'irnph answers the clamor about the political rights of women in the following brief terms: “Her proper mode of balloting is by tears and smiles. Let woman but remain true to herself and to religion, and 'woman's rights’ will take care of themselves.’’ There has been a general complaint in all parts of the Enat al>ont the probable supply of ice for next summer. In New England fears have been Aroused by the fact that immense flocks of wild geese have Itcen flving northward, and the ice-hpuses still tyThe officers of the Louisville <t Nashville Railroad Company state that there is no foundation for the report furnished bv the Jav Gould partv, whi'e in Louisville, that the Erie railroad would have control of their road, and change its gauge to six feet.

WOMAN.- -FEMALES, OWING TO the peculiar and important relations which they sustain, their peculiar organization, and the offices they perform, arc subject to many sufferings.— Freedom from these contribute in no small degree to their happiness and welfare, for none can be truly happy who arc ill. Not only so, but no one of these variousfemalc complaints can long be suffered to run oxi without involving the general health of the individual, and ere long producing permanent sickness and premature decline. Nor is it pleas ant to consult a physician for the relief of these various delicate affections, and only upon the most urgent necessity will a true woman so fai sacrifice her greatest charm as to do this. The sex will then thank us for placing in their hands simple specifics which will be found efficacious in relieving and curing almost every one of those troublesome complaints peculiar to their sex. , HriMßOLn’s Extract of Bccnu.—Hundreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds of others apply vainly to druggists and doctors, who either merely tantalize i them with the hope of a cure or apply remedies which make them worse. I would not wish to assert anything that I would do injustice to the afflicted, but I am obliged to say that although it may ! be produced ftorn excessive exhaustion of I tfae powers of life, by laborious employ- ■ ment, unwholesome airand food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coffee. | and frequent childbirth, it is far oftener ' caused by direct irritation, applied to , the mucous membrane of tne vagina itself. When reviewing the causes of these distressing complaints, it is most painful to contemplate the attendant evils consequsnt upon them It is hut simple justice to the subject to enumerate a few of the many additional causes which so largely affect the life, health. ! and happiness of woman in all classes of society, and which, consequently, att'ect more or less directly, the welfare of the entire human! family. The mania that exis'.s for precocious education And marriage, caus'-s the years that nature designed for corporeal development to be wasted and perverted in the restraints of dress, the early confinement of school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement of the ball-room. Thus with the body half-clothed, and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, perverting in midnight revel the hours designed by nature for sleep and rest, the work of destruction is half accomplished. In consequence of this early strain upon her system, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate votary to retain her situation in school at a later day. thus aggravating the evil. . When one excitement is over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbidly sensitive to impression, while the now constant restraint of fashionable dress, absolutely forbidding the exercise indispensable to the attainment and retention of organic health and strength; the exposure to night air; the sudden change of temperature; the cotnple'e prostration produced by excessive dancing, must, of necessity produce their legitimate effect.— At last, an e»rlv marriage caps the climax of misery, and the unfortunateone, hitherto so utterly regardless of the plain dictates and remonstrances of her delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject of medical treatment. This is but a truthful picture of the experience of thousands of our young women. Long before the ability to exetcise the functions of the generative organs, they require an education of their peculiar nervous system, composed of uhat is called the tissue, which is, in common with the female breast and lips, evidently under the control of mental emotions and associations at an early period of life; and, as we shall subsequently see, these emotions, when excessive, lead, long before pubeiity, to habits which sap the very life of their victims ere nature, has self-completed their development. For Female Weakness and Debility. Whites or Leucorrhoea, Too Profuse Menstruation. Exhaustion, Too Long Continued Periods, for Prolapsus and Bearing Down, or Prolapsus Uteri, we offer most perfect specific known: Helvbold's Confound Extract of Bvcitf. Directions for use, diet, and advice, accompany. Females in every period of life, from infancy to extreme old age, will find it a remedy to aid nature in the discharge of its functions. Strength is the glory of manhood and womanhood. Helmbold's Extract of Buchu is more strengthening than any of the preparations of Bark or Iron, tnfinately safer, and more pleasant. Reinhold's Extract of Buchu, haring received the endorse ment of the most pronrnent physicians in the United States, is now offered to afflicted humanity as a certain eure for the following diseases and symptoms, from whatever cause originating: General Debility, Mental and Physical Depression, Imbecility, Determination of Blood to the Hend, Confused Ideas, Hysteria, General Irritability, Restlessness, and Sleeplessness at night. Absence of Muscular Efficiency, Loss of Appetite, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, Low Spirits. Disorganization or Paralysis of the Organs of Generation. Palpiation of the Heart, and, in fact, all the concomitiants of a Nervous and Debiliated state of the system. To insure the genuine cut this out. Ask for Ileltnbold's. Take no other.
