THE EAGLE. Friday, apird. ml Local & Miscellaneous. New Advertisements. ■■ - — — jEy Monday and Tuesday was cold and thiily, the clerk of the weather made a desperate effort to get up a snow storm, which was a partial failure. jfy With the return of gdod roads business is beginning to revive, and our merchants are preparing to accomodate their customers. Jesse Niblick, of the firm of Niblick dr Crawford and W. G. Spencer of the fii*m of Spenser & Brothers are away this week after a new stock. JHTN timber's three story block is being treated to a coat of paint. The appearance of the entire east •Ide of Second street would be improved if treated in like manner. Jsf“The following is the allowance made to the township Assessors for assessing the Couuty : William May, Union, 855 50; Joseph Steele, Kirkland, 838; Harlo Mann, Washington, 8118; S. R. Cowan, St. Marys, 886 50; Christopher Kauffman, Bluecreek, S6O 50; R. E. Smith, Monroe, 865 50; Alonzo Sheldon, French, 855; John Runyan, Hartford, 865,50; David McDonald, Wabash, 890 50; William Ketchum, Jefferson, 841 75.

JfiFThe Board of Equalzation, consisting of the Board of Commissioners and the township As•essors, met at the Court House on Monday. The only business * that come before the Board was the case of George Meyers, who had refused to furnish the township Assessor with a list of his personal property. He was assessed 82,200, on his own account, to which the Auditor was ordered to attach the lawful penalty, fifty per cent, additional for failing to comply with the requirements of the law. £7*Circuit Court convenes on Monday, with seventy-six cases on the docket. This is a much larger amount of busines than usual to dispose of, caused by the transfer of some thirty cases from the Court of Common Pleas to the Circuit Court. The docket will hardly be disposed of during the limited time alloWed by law, one week, for holding each term of the Circuit Court in this County. Soino one hundred and seventyfive witnesses have„been subpeeua•d. Doctoring tlae Mormons. Mr. Jullian has introduced a ” bill in the House of Representatives “to discourage Poylygamy in Utah by granting the right of miffrage to the woman of that Territory.” It provides that the right of suffrage may be exercised by the people “without any distinction or discrimination whatever on account of sex. Whether this would be a discouragement of polygamy or an encouragement, may be questionable. Who knows but its effect might be to produce a rush in the direction of the promised land by those who look upon the ballot as an essential ingredient in the fe male pursuit of happiness? Our—■ hat to say the pilgrim—fathers crossed the briny ocean, several years ago, to find a land wherein they might realize their notions of political and theological freedom : and we hove been accustomed to •peak rather highly of their con •tancy; and why should not the material for mothers turn pilgrim also and encounter the perils of the Pacific Railway in a similar pursuit ? Ifwc are to credit the relations of travelers, the Saints would doubtless receive the new recnits with open irm; for their fullness in that regard is reported to be _ boundless ; and It can not be said of them that while there are many who call there are few who are chosen. Still, the patch which Mr. Julian would apply is considerablj* larger then the hole to be mended. Silly people imagine that the?priucipal business of the males of Utah is the multiplication .of their spouses. There are a good many people in Deseret who are not Mormons, and of the latter it is ! ♦u*!**!’ On P rctt .Y good auhority, lhere are only one in four or or five who indulge in plurality. The large majority, even of the Latter Day Saints, find one wo I man quite as much as they can manage; in this respect differing not essentially from ths Gentiles who infest the regions here and hereaboutsZok»> Republt can.

The Government has granted, or is ready to grant more than one-half of all our landed property to private corporations in the shape of railroads. Quite a scene occurred at the white house Monday. It appears that Senator Ross, of Kansas, obtained an interview with the president, and protested against the renominations of one Babcock, for surveyor general of that state, —the appointment failing to be acted on last week, —and added that Senator Pomeroy and Rspre tentative Clarke had been making pretty much all of the Kansas appointments. Grant replied that it was unless to say more, as hit mind was already made up on the surveyorship. Ross continued protesting, when Grant said: “I tell you my mind is made up. I don’t want to hear any more.” Ross replied: “Go to hell.” Then Grant moved toward him, and said : “Get out of this holise instantly, and never set your foot in it again.” Ross, without a word, at once left. A witness furnishes the account. The Reward of Loyalty. Mr. S. S. Bonar, of Larwill, Ind., who was one of the first to enlist, at the commencement of the war, and who was shot through the breast at Bull Run and disabled for life, has been removed from the postofflee at that place, and a wealthy “loyal” Republican appointed in his place. Mr. Bonar's crime is in not voting for Grant. Postmaster Cresswell has announced his determination to, cut*off the oflicial head of every man in his department who did not support Grant. The work of decapitation has commenced. Let the guillotine do its work faithfully. “Loyal” men rejoice to learn that the administration will weed-out all disloyal men. The country breathed freeer when Frank P. Blair was dissmissed and the Confederate Gen. Lon?street was rewarded with a fat office for his services in fighting to overcome the "disloyal” Blair during the rebellion. Who would have thought that Blair was wrong and Longstreet right ?

HALL’S Vegetable Sicilian HAIR RENEWED

The basis of iu remedial properties is a vegetable oompound. It will restore grey hair to its original color. It will keep the hair from falling out. It clesnaee the ecalp and makes the halt soft, lustrous and silken. It is a splendid hairdressing. R.P. H ALL A CO., Vsshwa. N H , Proprivors.

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 among the vegetable tonics of the age stands HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS, and whenever the vital powers seem to languish, or there is any reason tosuspect 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, pcrh»ps, than is required to keep up full strength of the frame. The object, under such circumstances, is to incAase 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 materifl of the system as fast as it is.required. This object is fully accomplished by the use of the Bitters. 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 stimulate 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 are recommended as a speedy aad certain remedy. 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. Mope of Prepxratiox.—Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillatimi, to form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement by liquor obtained from Juniper Berries, containing very little sugar, a small proportion of spirit, and more palatable than any now. The active properties are by this mode extracted.

Buchu, as prspared by Druggists generally, is of a dark color. It is a plant that emits its fragrance; 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 are added, to prevent fermen tation; upon inspection, it will be lound not to be a Tincture, as made in Pharmacotna, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in eases where fever or influmntion 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, H. 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.] ‘■l am acquainted with Mr. 11. 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 bim. 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 are accompanied by so,many alarming symptoms, among which will be found, Indisposition to Exertion, Loss of Mem ory, Wakefulness, Horror of Disease, or Forebodings of Evil, in fact, Universal Lassitude, Prostration, and inability to enter into the 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 abv other preparation, as in Chlorosis, or Retention, Painfulness 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.

Helmbold’s Fluid Extract Buchu 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 those unpleasant and dangerous remedies, Copaiva and Mercury, in all those diseases. Use Helmbold’s Fluid Extract Buchu In all diseases of those %gans, 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, and more strengthening than any of the preparations of Bark or Iron. Thosa suffering from broken-down or delieate constitutions, procure the remed v st once. The reader must be aware that, however slight may be the attack of the above diseases, it is certain to affect the bodily health and mental powers. All the above diseases require the aid of a Diuretic. HelmboW's Extract Buchu is the great Diuretic. Seld by Druggists everywhere. Price —sl 25 per’bottle, or six bottles for $6.50.
