THE EAGLE. FRIDAY, APRIL »> 1H69. Local & Miscellaneous. * New Advertisements. Land for Sale —Dr. Jelleff. Agents Wanted—Lloyd. jC3FMarried.—March 28th, by Rev. J. D. Gehring, Mr. Frederick Shank to Mrs. Mary Smith. jEFSeveral of our citizens are absent this week, attending the railroad meeting at Richmond, Indiana. r /grVelocipede number two made its appearance last Saturday. It is a three wheeled affair, and was turned out from the carriage shop of H. W. Shackley. jtSTThe following officers of St. Mary’s Lodge, I. 0. 0. F., No. 167, were installed last Monday night : 11. W. Shackley, N. G.; R. D. Patterson, V. G.; J. S. Hart, Secretary; D. Reiter, Treasurer. JterOhio, Indiana, Georgia and Rhode Island are among the States set down as doubtful in the important matter of ratifying the fifteenth amendment. Any two of these States can defeat the measure. jgrAn alarm of fire was sounded about nine o'clock, Wednesday morning, which caused for a time some rapid travelling toward the supposed scene of the conflagration. It proved to be a false a larm ; only a chimney burning out in the residence of W. G. Spencer. 43P“When the Spring time comes” is the time to have your Photo taken. Shoaff’s Art Galcry, in the Key Stone block, Fort Wayne, is the place to get them. Shoaff's pictures always give satisfaction. Don't fail to visit his galery. Dentisty.—Dr. B. P. McDonald, of Fort Wayne, is now stopping at the Burt House, and will remain for a few weeks. The Doctor comes highly recommended as a first clans Dentist. Persons having decayed or aching teeth should not fail to give him a call. All work warranted.

£y?“We have received tbo April number of Benham’s Western Music! Jlevteic. It contains eight pages of new music, and a large a moot of interesting original and selected matter. The Review is deserving a liberal patronage. — Terras 81 a year. Address H. L. Benham JeCo., Indianapolis, Ind. XSFThe April number of Capt. Mayne Reid's magazine Onward comes to us with more than the usual variety from the pen of the versatile Editor. Henceforth some of the best American writers will contribute •to its pages. The Captain promises that tha future numbers shall be superior to those issued. jyOur merchants, one by one, are starting East for goods. A. Ilolthouse, of the firm of Conter A’ Ilolthouse returned last week. J. Close and H. McLean left this week, and others will soon follow. When the new goods arrive will be a good time to revise old advertisements and insert new ones. A hint to the wise is sufficient. j&'Neatly printed Circulars, announcing the opening of the Spring and Summer at the New York Store, of Messrs. Root Company, Fort Wayne, are now being distributed to the numerous patrons of that truly popular bouse. Persons receiving their circular may rest assured that the New York Store is all that it is represented. » First in the Market.—Messrs. Conter <fc Holthouse are now re- ♦ ceiving their Spring Summer stock of Boots and Shoes, consisting of every grade of men's and boy’s boots and shoes; ladies, misses, and children’s gaiters, shoes, slippers, <kc. This enterprising firm are the first in the market and have a stock that has never, heretofore, been equaled in this place. They are now offering their goods 20 per cent below last years prices, which places them within the reach of all. Call and examine their stock before purchasing elsewhere. Custom work made tn order, and satisfaction garrantced.

will be the next Postmaster is as much of a mystery as who struck Billy Patterson. There are several “loyal” men who. are much more anxious to serve their country now than they were in’6l, who would like to have it—bad. jtSTMonday, April 19th, is the last day that taxes can be paid without paying the penalty. From the amount remaining unpaid at this date, we infer that a great many tax-payers are making calculations to pay the ten per cent, penalty. JfSTln consequenc of going to press, this week, a few hours earlier than usual, we are unable to give the official figures of the township elections. Saint Marys township, alone, is controlled by the Republicans, the Democrats electing eleven out of twelve Trustees in the County. In Root the Republicans madea show of opposition, but were easily beaten.— In Bluecreek the Republicans made a desperate effort to elect their ticket, but were defeated for Trustee, some eighteen votes, the Democrats electing John Emory the second time. The vote for Justice of the Peace was very close, JohnC. Tindall, Democrat, being elected over G. W. Calderwood by two votes. Personal difficulties caused a few Democrats to refuse their support to Mr. Tindall. There were nine Justices of the Peace to elect, eight of which were elected by the Democrats. We will give the official figures next week.

£3?“one “J. H.” writes to the Fort Wayne Gazette, from Monjnoiith, we judge, feebly protesting against the location of the C. R. tfc F. W. railroad on the “western track.” He has understood that Decatur is in favor of the “western track,” but as Decatur has done nothing, sfie should say nothing, and the road should be located on the “east track,” because the people along that route pay more taxes than they do on the other, the line is shorter, passes through a more beautiful country, and can be built cheaper. These are good and substantial reasons and if “J, II.” can demonstrate them satisfactorily to the Company, we have no doubt that I.is favorite “east track” will be adopted. We would suggest to “J. II.” that instead ot grumbling he and his friends endeavor to secure the right of way for the Company on the “east track” and stop his whining about Decatur. The people here have no interest in the matter, and if “J. II.” and his friends sit with their hand folded until the road is located on the “western track,” do nos blame Deeatur, but charge it to lack of enterprise. Parson Jones' Idiosyncracies - A few months ago Parson Jones, of the Jay Republican, missed a ’og-chain from his premises, whereupon he opened his batteries and gave the Jay- hawkers to understand that he was ‘up to snuff,’ knew who took the chain, where it went, &c., and saying if it was brought back' no embarrassing questions would be asked; If not the “dogs of war' were to be turned loose and something was to be did. Timo came and went, but the log chain dind't. The other day Deacon went out to his farm and found the chain in the barn, were be hung it the day before he moved to town. Did he acknowledge the wrong he had done in accusing some neighbor of theft? Not much, as any one knows of. The other day the Parson indulged in a paic of new pants—shoddy. ’"ShortK-afterwards having an attack or the belly-ache over a warm dose administered by Bro. Hill of the Decatur Eagle, the Parson sndcnly discovered something in the breeches—and it wasn't in the pockets—that was not calculated to make him pass for an enviable perfume-box. We understand that the pants have been presented to one of Jones' admiring colored friends.— Hartford City Democrat.

Do not Trifle with Danger. A single spark may kindle a flame that will consume a city, and small ailments neglected, may end in fatal disorders. Bearing this fact in mind, let the first symptoms of debility or nervous prostration be met promptly with invigorating treatment. Foremost aruong the vegetable tonics of the age stands HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS, and whenever the vital powers seem to languish, or there is any reason to suspect that the animal functions essential to the sustenation and purification of the body are imperfectly performed, this invaluable invigorant and antiseptic should at once be resorted to. Indigestion always produces weakness of the bodily powers. Sometimes it happens that the appetite demands more food than the stomach can digest; though not more, perh»ps, than is required to keep up full strength of the frame. The object, under such circumstances, is to increase the digestive capacity of the assimilating orgar, so as to make it equal to the duty imposed upon it by the appetite, and capable of supplying the building material of the system as fast as it is required. This object is fully < accomplished by the use of the Bitter?. They tone and gently stimulate the cellular membrane which secretes the gastric' juice, and the result is that the solvent is mingled with the food in sufficient quantity to convert all its nourishing particles into pure and wholesome element. If, on the other hand, there is a deficiency of appetite, without any corresponding deficiency of digestive power, the effect of the tonic is to stinftilatc a desire for food. In nineteen cases out of twenty, headache, nausea, nervousness, fainting-fits, spasms, and, indeed, most of the casual aches and pains to which humanity is subject, proceed primarily from indigestion complicated with biliousnees; and for both these complaints HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS arc recommended as a speedy and certain remedy. rpO“ PHYSICIANS: New York, August 15th, 1867. Allow me to call your attention to my PREPARATION OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BUCHU. The component parts are BUCHU, Long Leaf, CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES. Mode of Preparation.—Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement by liquor obtained from Juniper Berries, containing verv little sugar, a small proportiop of spirit, and more palatable than any now. The active properties are this mode extracted. Buchu, as prspared by Druggists generally, is of a dark color. It is a plant that emits its fragranep; the action of a flame destroys this (its active principle) leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients, The Buchu in my preparation predominates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients arc added, to prevent fermcn tation; upon inspection, it will bo found not to be a Tincture, as made in Phajmacocea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in eases where fever or inflamation exists. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredients and the mode of preparation. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet with your approbation, With a feeling of confidence, I am, very respectfully, 11. T. HELMBOLD. Chemist and Druggist of 16 years' experience in Philadelphia, and now located at his Drug and Chemical Warehouse, 594 Broadway, N. V. [From the largest Manufacturing Chemist in the World.] ‘•I am acquainted with Mr. H. T. Helmbold; he occupied the Drug Store opposite my residence, and was successful in conducting the business where others had not been equally so before him. I have been favorably impressed with his character and enterprise. WILLIAM WEIGHTMAN. Firm of Powers & Weightman, Manufacturing Chemists, Ninth and Brown Streets, Philadelphia. Helmbold's Fluid Extract Buchu, for weakness arising from indiscretion.— The exhausted powers of Nature which arc accompanied by so many alarming symptoms, among which will be found, Indisposition to Exertion, Loss of Memory, Wakefulness, Horror of Disease, or Forebodings of Evil, in fact, Universal Lassitude, Prostration, and inability to enter into th? enjoyments of society. The Constitution, once affected with Organic Weakness, requires the aid of Medicine to strengthen and invigorate the system, which HELMBOLD’S EXTRACT BUCHU invariably does. If no treatment is submitted to, Consumption or Insanity ensues. Ilelmbold's Fluid Extract Buchu, in affections peculiar to Females, is unequaled by any other preparation, as in Chlorosis, or Retention, I’ainfulness or Suppression of Customary Evacuations, Ulcerated or Schirrus State of the Uterus, and all complaints incident to the sex, whether arising from habits of dissipation, imprudence in, or the decline or change of life. Hclmbold’s Fluid Extract Bnchu und Improved Rose Wash will radically exterminate from the system diseases arising from habits of dissipation, at little expense, little or no change in diet, no inconvenience or exposure; completely superseding'thosc unpleasant and dangerous remedies, Copaiva and Mercury, in all those diseases. Use Ilelmbold's Fluid Extract Buchu In all diseases of those organs, whether existing in male or female, from whatever cause originating; and no matter of how long standing. It is pleasant in taste and odor, “immediate” in action, 1 and more strengthening than any of the preparations of Bark or Iron. Those suffering from broken-down or delicate constitutions, procure the remedy at onee. The reader must be aware that, however slight may be the attack of the above diseases, it is cettain to affect the bodily health and mental powers. All the above diseases requite the aid of a Diuretic. Helmbold's Extract Buebu is the grea* Diuretic. • Seld by Druggists everywhere. Pries I —sl 25 per bottle, or six bottles for ; $6.50.
