THE EAGLE. FRIDAY, I EB. 12, ISH9. Local Mew Advertisements. Public Notice—Burt. Agents Wanted—Publishing Co. Communication: Opposition to thx Railroad.—We have received an anonymons communication from Hartford township, asking us to publish the names of those who signed the petitions, present edto ths Board of Commissioners to tax the people of the County to assist in building the railroad. The writer wishes to know wheth er any of the two hundred and two names that occur in the delinquent list are to be found among the petioners; whether there are men fools enough to sign apetition t> tax themselves still more and loose all their land. He closes with the suggestion that we differ wi h him; no doubt. It will profit you there (in Decatur), but not us here. We will not pay it if we can get out of it You will.be apt to hear of a remonstraance on our part. It is not often we notice anonymous communications, and should our friend have occasion to address us again he will please not forget to append his signature thereto. We cannot publish the list of those who signed the petitions, in all numberng some 1,500 names, being two-fifths of the le ga! voters of the County. We wish we could. lu two years after the road is built, if it is built, there will not be a man in the County that would not feel proud if his name was attached to one of the petitions, and those who did not sign will excuse themselves by saying they had no opportunity We have uo doubt our unknown friend is honest in the opinion he has expressed in opposition to the road. He belongs to that class of men who can see no return for money expended in improvements Had he owned property in Chicago, when the city commenced assessing his property for improvements, he would probably have sold out and come to Adams county to save himself from impending ruin, and been worth what he is to day, while the man who , purchased his lots would now be a millionare. There are men in Chi cago and other large cities, who have paid out in taxes, for im provements, a thousand dollars upon every dollar of the original investment, and every dollar thus expended more than doubled the value of the property, and paid the assessment in the bargain. Ben Franklin had reference to our unknow correspondent in his remark about being penny wise and pound foolish. The one hundred and fifty thousand dollars stock taken by ths County, will be expended in our midst by the time the road is completed in constructing the same. The company will require the muscle of the County, which they will pay a liberal price for, to build the road. They will require timber for bridges, and ties to lay the track? upon. If our people are industrious, and we think they arc, they will have the money in their pockets, earned from the Company, to pay their taxes with, before it will be required of them. saving nothing about the benefits of the road, will be to the people when built. There <re a thousand reasons why the people should be taxed to buiM the road and not one good sound reason why they should not.— I Why does not our unknown corres-! pondent use a wooden plow, man I ufactured from the timber upon ’ hie farm, instead of taxing him ' selfßl2 or 815 for an iron or steel plow? Why does he not I use a wooden sled, constructed by himself, to do his hauling with, instead of taxing himself a 8100 for i a wagon? For the same reason j that we favor building a road. It ; Is money in his pocket to pur-1 case these things, and it will be i money In his pocket to hare the ! conrenience of a railroad. ▲ Soft Tiinro—We are having ! a aoft.thing in the extent, variety | and depth of and In this locality. It can hardly be excelled take the world over. A mud plaster is far more common than the Grecian bend, if not quite so fashionable. j

To Let.—We have an excellent ice-house to let ; will pay in ice. Inquire at the office. No joke. Flour —Flour has been reduced to 85 per barrel, at the Ft. Wayne Fruit House; best St. Louis, 87.50. See their new price list. Warm Weather. —We have had unusually warm weather for the season. Yesterday was as warm, balmy and plsasant overhead as is usually seen in April. The consequence is the buds are swelling prematurely, and innll probabili ty most fruits will be killed by frost. Appraisement of Real Estate. —A law permitting Appraisers of Real Estate to appoint their deputies has recently been enacted. — llt also increases the Appraise:* f.-es to three dollars per day. The Appraiser lias appointed as his deputies, Jo n Rupright, of Preble, and Charles Kelley. of Jefferson To Advertisers. —We have a limited amount of space, subject to the order of the first man who comes with cash or greenbacks.— These dull times requires the merchant who has wares to sell to be active. A good thing for us would prove remunerative to the enterprising man who acts upon odr suggestion. Try it.

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 are ill. Not only so, but no one of these various female complaints can long be suffered to run on without involving the general health of the individual, and ere long producing permanent sickness and premature deejjog. 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 fat sacrifice her greatest charm ns 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 these troublesome complaints peculiar to their sex. Hf.lmbolp's Extract of Brent'.—Hundreds Buffer on in silence, and hundreds of others apply vainly to druggists and I doctors, who either merely tantalize ! | them with the hope of a cure or apply ; i remedies which make them worse. I > ; would not wish to assert anything that ' would do injustice to the'afflicted, but I 1 am obliged to say that although it may . be produced ftom excessivejexhaustion of the powers of life, by laborious employ- . ment, unwholesome airand food, profuse , menstruation, the use of tea and coffee, and frequent childbirth, ft is ar oftener caused by direct irritation, applied to the mucous membrane of the vagina itself. When reviewing the causes of these dist<easing complaints, it is most painful to contemplate the attendant evils consequsnt upon them It is but 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 elnsses of society, and which, consequently, atfect more or loss directly, the welfare of the entire human familyi The mania that exists for precocious education and marriage, causes the years that nature designed for corporeal development to bo 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-clothpd, and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, perverting in midnight revel the hours designed by nature for sleop and rest, the work of destruction it 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. W’hen one I 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 comple'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 unfortunate one, hitherto so utterly regardless of the plain dictatesand remonstrances of her delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject of medical treatment. This is but a truthful p : cture of the experience of thousands of our young women. Long before the ability to exeicise the functions of the generative organs, they require an education of their peculiar nervous system, composed of a hat 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 puherity, to habits which sap the very life of their victims ere nature has self-completed their development Fo" Female Weakness and Debility. Whites or Leucorrhoen, Too Profuse Menstruation, eExhaustion, Too Long Continued Periods, for Prolapsus and Bearing Down, or Prolapsus Uteri, we offer most perfect specific known: Helmnotn’s CoMForxn Extract of Btchu.

Strength is the elory 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.
