CURRENT ITEMS.

Salmon in the Sacramento river, Cal., are becoming very plenty. lady in kMghton, Pa., has picked 400 quarts of blackberries this season. A Des Moines father advertises that he will exchange one of his newly-arrived twin boys for a girl. Mr. Turner, of Manchester, Tenn., celebrated the wedding of his daughter by thrashing his wife. A widower in Manistee, Mich., who has forty-eight children living, Jias just married his fourth wife. A woman named Berks exhibited a patent churn of her own manufacture at a Kansas fair and secured a premium. The “Biggest Grumbler” in Montana has struck quartz that nets S2OO per ton, and he growls because it don’t go $250. A Navarre (O.) youth severely horsewhipped his unindulgent father. He wanted to see “who bossed that ranch.” A MAN in Warrenton, Va. K poisoned melons in his garden for the benefit of thieves, and killed a valuable colt of his. Clay similar to that used in Germany in the manufacture of so-called meerschaum pipes has been discovered at Middletown, Pa. Montgomery Co., Kan., raises stalks of cotton two feet three inches long, threefourths of an inch in diameter, with bolls on each joint. The projected tunnel under the Detroit river has been abandoned in consequence of information derived from the small experimental tunnel. An Omaha woman committed suicide the other day because her husband remonstrated in profane terms when he found a dead horsefly in a wheat-cake. A Detroit lady died of hydrophobia, and the dog that bit her still lives, in health and spirits, wagging a mournful reproach at her vivid imagination. Charleston, 8. C. claims to be one of the healthiest cities on the continent, basing its assertion upon the fact that only fifteen deaths occurred there in one week recently. In Rich Valley, Dakota, Wm. Strathern owns a four-legged chicken in good health. The extra legs are more ornamental than useful—do not seem to be of any service. We shall hereafter know what a pugnose is worth, Mrs. Kitty Lake, of Philadelphia, having fallen and broken her nose and sued the city for $45,000 worth of satisfaction. The people of California have a theory that the real pearl oyster is to be found in their waters, and are determined, if possible, to add pearl-fishing to the number of their industries. Miss Jennie Burnham, who was drowned recently in Grand Bay, N. IL, had been preceded to a watery grave in the same waters by an uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Peoria has very human dogs or the newspapers are not to be believed. One has died of delirium tremens, two of small pox, one of cerebro-spinal-etc., and one has committed suicide. A jealous Saratoga woman recently prevented her husband’s attendance at a ball by carrying away every article of clothing he owned, ana hiding them in a barn three miles away. ' Eating an Indian turnip two years ago has produced a moustache and sidewhiskers on a three-year-old boy in Salem, Ind. The youths of the town are now living on little else than these vegetables. A sanguine Virginian is writing a pamphlet to prove that the Dismal Swamp is capable of being reclaimed by drainage, and he predicts that it will at some future day be the richest district in the South. A Green Bat man called a young lady his “precious darling little honey-dew of a blooming rosebud” and then stood a breach-ofpromise suit before he would many her. The State Geologist of Texas has had reported to him the discovery, near the first station from Devil’s River, of a cave, the interior of which contains very remarkable painting and sculpture, apparently of Aztec origin. A Georgia bride is described in one of the local papers as “looking a very lily cradled in the golden glimmer of some evening lake—a foam-fleck, snowy, yet sun-flushed, crowning the ripplings of some soft southern sea.” —. —» ——; A couple of Washington clerkshaving disagreed about a young lady, undertook to carve one another to pieces with army sabers. Those implements not being of a very deadly character, nothing to compare with manure forks, they did not severely hurt each other. Thebe is no justification for suicide; but we are prepared, on short notice, to shed tears for the man or woman who can find it in his or her heart to censure Mr. Wade, of Huston, for shuffling off, when it is known that of his fifty children, the yellow fever left to Mr. W. but forty-one. A San Francisco milliner has invented a hat which will probably sell well in cases where blushing is not, so spontaneous as it might be, fir used te be. When the wearer bows or lowers her head abruptly, a tiny pair of steel clamps compress the arteries on each side of the temples, sending the blood at oneffto the cheeks. ;, ■ ■ ‘ A couple of nice young ladies in Quincy, 111., settled a dispute with pine boardsand finger-nails. The one with the finger nails came out ahead, lacerating her antagonist unmercifully. The affair wound up in the police-court, where they were both fined. The local paper which describes the affair mercifully withholds the ladies’ names for the reason that they are both engaged. Another attempt is to be made to settle the peninsula of Lower California. Mr. W. G. Schofield, a relative of General Schofield, is in charge of the enterprise. He has contracted for the planting of one hundred acres of hops and thirty acres of tobacco, with which to test the soil about Las Vallicitos, and, if successful, the experiment will be extended next year over a large scope of country. Mr. Schofield asserts that the peninsula is rich m gold and silver. We love to commend successful industry in young people, especially when they are faithful to their poor old parents. There is a girl in Oakland, Cal., who, by patient industry, a quick eye and a nimble hand, has not only supported her aged mother, but accumulated a nice little Sierty of SI,OOO or so, consisting mosts jewelry and other small valuables could be handily carried off from the - different placesdn which she had been employed as a domestic.— Exchange. Emotional insanity has developed in a somewhat remarkable way in Massachusetts. An infant was found in a nicely . wrapped package, at the Fitchburg Depot, in Boston, the other night, and on it was a of paper stating that the baby belonged to a certain lady in Lowell, and had been taken, in a “fit of insanity,” by the nursery maid. The name of the emotiohat abstractionist is not made public, but, were it known, she would doubtless be overpowered with offers of situations in “respectable” fiamiHes. The Lafayette (Ind.) Journal reports that a citizen of that place, passing over a bridge In that vicinity, the other day, observed an Individual busily engaged driving large spikes into the timbers on the (wutb aide ofit at very short intervals. He - -

wondered at the time what object the man could have in view, but Upon going over the bridge again, a few days later, saw the same man carefully gathering up the wisps of hay which had accumulated on the spikes from the numerous hay wagons, which daily puss through that side of Qte bridge. The champion for novelty in chicken raising is N. M. CheMey, of Belvidere, Vt. His “improved system” consists in keeping two “professional sitters,” all the other hens being trained to 1 lay their eggs in the two nests, the “setting” going on all the while, so that the eggs are daily mixed. During the past season eighty eggs were laid in the nests, seventy-five of which were successfully hatched. After the hatching was well along he took off one hen and gave her fifty chicks to tend, the other hen sitting two weeks longer and coming off with the remaining twentyfive. The Cincinnati Gazette says: “The writer of this saw a mjm yesterday who came to this city in 1810 with his fat her from Pennsylvania in a two-horse wagon. They drove up Main street, and when they got up a little above where the new post-office is to be located, a man came along and asked .him if he owned that team. When told he did, he offered his father seven acres of land in a square block Coming up to Main street. The old gentleman took a look around, and said he ‘wouldn’t sell his team for the whole town. Drive on, boys.’ The team at that time was probably worth between seventyf?ve and one hundred dollars.

The Campaign in Ohio.

The peculiar chatracter of the contest in this State —the op»en, frank and honest course of the Republicans, and the efforts of the Democrats to plant themselves upon the issues which agitated the people years ago—is exciting general interest in the t?hio campaign throughout the whole country. So tar as the Democratic party is concerned, the contest on their part is not si.mply for the control of the affairs of the Stafc- That is but a secondary consideration? with them. What they are really wording for is to keep their party alive and to make it once more a formidable rival for supremacy in the General Government. With them it is a question of life - or death. They certainly have no expectation that situ cess will crown their efforts, so far as the ejection * n Ohio is concerned, but they hop C-to inject a little vitality into the Nationji Democratic party. Some of the old fOb' s ’i® i' ave so often declared their purpose to “live and. die Democrats,” that they want, i.° carry out their pledge; and how’ could thCYdie in the Democratic party if no such pa/ty exists? They propose to keep it alive just to redeem their pledges thatthey would die in the ranks of that party. The struggle, as far as the Democrats are concerned, therefore, is of a National character, and creates no little interest all over the country. Public journals in other States arc freely canvassing the situation in Ohio, and expressing opinions as to the result of the contest. The New York Times makes the following reference to the subject: It will be seen from our special dispatches that the Republicans—o£„Ulua-have. ope lied the. campaign m their State under encouraging circumstances. The meeting at Athens, on Saturday, was. in attendance and in the spirit manifested, u gratifying proof that the masses of the party 1 arefully convinced of the importance of the contest upon which they are entering, and are determined to use all honorable means to secure success. The Democrats’ boast that the Republican party in the State is paralyzed by internal dissensions, and the loss of popular confidence, is disproved at the outset of this struggle by a gathering larger and more enthusiastic than is usual iu a purely State canvass, iu entering this contest the Democrats played their last cards in the nomination of William Allen and a specious appeal to the farmeft ;"biif"if is already apparent that they have lost. There has been no enthusiasm awakened iu the Democratic ranks by the exhumation of this political fosei. 1 ; there has been no disintegration of the Republican party because of the Farmers’ movement. It is a mark of the vigor and good sense of the Republicans that they are carrying on an aggressive contest. Mr. Allen is a gentleman of high personal character, but his political record during the war is exceedingly vulnerable, and it is being properly used with great: effect. Ou the other hand the position of Governor Noyes is wholly unassailable. In the personal aspect of the contest, therefore, the advantage is entirely with the Republicans. Our friends are equally happy in the record they have made in the administration of State affairs. Ohio has given Democracy but little chance during the last twenty years to try its hand at government, and the State has consequently prospered and become great. In purely local issues the party is strong as ever, and Governor Noyes has proved-that it can face the national questions which have become prominent since last year without losing any of its strength. That is a fair presentation of the situation. Tiie Republicans of Ohio go into the fight in the best possible condition. They havemo internal dissensions and no corruption to W’eaken them. In State affairs, they have the strongest possible endorsement from the Democrats themselves, and in national politics the party never stood fairer before the people. It has purified itself and thereby given evidence that it is worthy the confidence of the people. It has turned its face sternly against every form of corruption, and repudiated every dishonest officeholder, thereby establishing its honesty and devotion to the best interests of the people. With such a record, in a contest with a party which has been, in the language of our neighbor of the Democrat, “ for the past two or three years masquerading in all kinds of,fantastic costumes,” there can be no doubt as to the result.— Toledo Blade.

The Difference.

DEMOCRATIC FINANCES IN NEW YORK. 'The most startling thing in finances is the report of Comptroller Green, of. New York City. A summary given by the Associatcd Press shows the expenses of the city tor the last year to have been $96,000,000, or about one hundred dollars per cap. ita for every man, —woman —and child in the city. The New York Tribune has employed a skillful accountant to go over the figures of the report, and he makes the actual expenditures foot up $52,500,000. This is $55 per head to the whole population. The difference of $44,000,000 between- the- summary of the Associated Press operator and that of the Tribune accountant is suggestive of the incomprehensible nature of the accounts themselves. New York has always been a Democratic city, and its taxpayers only bestirred themselves to throw off the' Democratic Jmke when it became evident that the municipality was fast being driven to actual bankruptcy. By well nigh a superhuman effort Tweed was overthrown. But even Tweed, whose name had become the synonym of robbery, never ran the expenses of the city government above $30,000,000 per annum. It seems almost impossible that the Tribune's summary can be correct. It is too stupendous for belief; but, unfortunately, former monthly statements of the increase • of the city bonded debt bear out the annual report, as wuutra. - • Statement of April 1.... 191,032,458 12 Statement of May 1...106,777,854 28 Statement of June 1; 107,889,012 74 Statement of July 1. 109,239.060 24 Here is an increase of $18,000,000 in four months, or at the rate of $54,000,000 per annum. It will be remembered, that the “reform” movement, which resulted in the downfall of Tweed, was shortly afterward pronounced no reform at all, and it was predicted that the new regime would result in no relief to the tax payers. The Del mocracy still control the New York City goyernment; it has merely exchanged the chiefs of Tammany for new instruments of robbery and plunder. Ever since that corrupt party was driven from national authority it seems to have fastened its poisonous fangs upon New York City with redoubled greed and avarice. It

even inaugurates national political campaigns as a cover for its continued grasp upon the Eastern metropolis of the country. Of this nature was the campaign of 1868, when there was no earthly hope of the election of Seymour and Blair. But a contest was maintained in all the States of the Union that New York might be saved to the plundering ravages of the chiefs of the Democratic party. Having failed to destroy the Nations. Government by conniving at its surrender to the heads of the rebellion, it settled down like the locusts of Egypt upon the great city of the Empire State. New York merchants complain of “hard times; well they may, when every man, woman and child of the population is taxed $55 per annum to support a corrupt party which has been driven from power in the nation and in most of the States. The report of Comptroller Green shows a state of affairs in New York which is a disgrace to that city.— lnter-Ocean. EXPENSE OF REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT. In striking contrast to th# disgraceful exhibit of the financial affairs of New York City, as shown by the report of Comptroller Green, are some comparative figures erf governmental expenditures respectively by the Republican and Democratic parties, collated by a contemporary. Bojh show the rapacity for the spoils of office which has long distinguished the Democratic party; both demonstrate . the irresponsible character of the Democratic party whenever and wherever invested with power. We’ quote fi’om the Philadelphia North American: x Referring to Mr. Secretary Guthrie’s report on the finances, 1854-5, we And that the total expenditures were as follows: For the year ending June 30. 1855.... $66,209,922 04 For the year ending June 30,1858, according to the report of Mr. Buchanan’s Secretary of the Treasury 82,585,667 76 Increase in expenditures in three year5,515,370,-745 72 ♦ * * It is easy enoagh to find the difference between Republican and Democratic economy.

No government c:m be conducted without more or less mistakes and frauds, because all governments must be managed by men. But the rule of the Republican party has been singularly free from both mistakes and frauds, while the rule of the Democratic parly was, in the nation, both corrupt and treasonable, and in New York city it is illustrating its last days by piling up mountains of debt which, if continued a few years, must, sink the municipality in bankruptcy.— Chicago Inter-Ocean.

POLITICAL NOTES.

EgFThe New York Tribune has no love for the Republican party, but gives it a dab whenever it can get a chance. Yet it is constrained to say “the back-pay bill was not a party measure at all, and the Democrats did rather more than their share in sustaining - it.” That is the plain truth, and no Democratic paper ventures ' to face it. are to be sent from New Orleans to Kentucky, as the urgent entreaty of the Democratic citizens of that State, to assist in the arrest of their gangs of thieves and murderers known as KuKlux Klans. Now let us see what astute Democratic paper 'of the North will be first to howl about “military despotism.” —Chicago Journal. K3T' The last and most funny political joke of the season is that perpetrated by the Massachusetts Democratic State Convention. It is embodied in the following resolution: Respired, That the Republican party is responsible for tile seduction of the Democratic members of Congress to the corrupt schemes of the Republican parly to rob the people of their money. The joke part of this resolution is apparent. It needs not to be pointed out to cause it to be appreciated. We shall next hear of Boss Tweed and his partners in the Tammany ring holding the Republican party of New York “responsible” for having “seduced” them into “robbing the people of their money.” — Chicago Journal. (gpThis morning we have the usual debt statement, showing a decrease of the public debt during the month of $6,752,829 29, and a total decrease since March 1, 1869, of $381,767,894 68. When an Administration makes such a showing as this, in the face-of a largely reduced taxation, the people are not likely to believe that it is so black as it is painted. The President, according to the great Democratic statesman, Mr. Allen, is guilty of the heinous crime of taking delight in the “whiffs of his- cigar by the ocean breeze,” but so long as he keeps the Government moving along in its present fashion, it is possible the people Will like him as -w-ell as if he went about the countryspouting rubbish at all the cross-roads.— New York Times. Cg'Brick Pomeroy, while making a speech in Teyas, was asked by a listener: “What has the Northern man dose for Texas?” To which he replied: “Taken Hie weeds out of your fence corners, raised vegetables, planted fruit trees, built your largest and best houses, imported your finest breeds of horses and cattle, erected nearly every machine shop, foundry and mill that you have among you. They have minded their own business, and have not disturbed a large audience by asking foolish questions. They have striven by honest industry 7 to keep out of the sheriff's hands, and thirty feet ahead of the tax collector.” Too true, Brick, and “better late than never.” During the„war you_to 1 d the Southern people an entirely different tale about Northern men.— Washington (D.C.) Chronicle. ESFSpeaking of a charge that the Republicans were attempting to “revive dead issues,” the Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal says: ‘lt is the Democracy and not we who are reviving them. When they proclaim themselves the same old party they challenge a review of their record. When they declare that they have not changed they tell us that their future must be judged by their past. It is fifty, not we, who provoke the discussion of war questions. Nothing short of madness itself, or such desperate straits aspermitted no other alternative, could ever have led a party into so arrant a piece of effrontery and so gross a blunder. The unpatriotic Democracy have been scourged and blistered for a dozen years, and when, after that experience, they present themselves in the same in changed character, they must continue to receive the same unaiqunished stripes.” "'TA recent Associated Press dispatch from Washington saysx “Smiator Thurman, in his speecft at Waverly on the 3d inst...conveys a Wrong impression Tnregard to the votes of Senator Morton on the salary bill. The printed journal of the Senate shows that when the bill increasing the salaries of Congressmen came back from the House, Senator Morton voted in favor of Edmunds’ motion to strike from the bill all relating to increasing the salaries of Senators, members and delegates. There was another motion by Mr. Edmunds, preceding the one just referred to, to strike out all except what related to the President. This involved a refusaTto increase the number of salaries, which, by common consent, were to small, and upon this foim of the proposition Mr. Morton voted ho; but as soon as Mr. Edmunds followed this with the test proposition to strike out all authorizing any increase for Congressmen, Mr. Morton voted in favor of striking out” .

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

—Why should not the farmers generally set fruit trees in the fence corners, on each side -of the road ? They will make a much more creditable appearance tfian briars and elders. . > —Sugar Cookies.—One and a-half cups sugar; half cup milk; a small half cup butter; one egg; one teaspoon cream tartar; half do. soda; half a cup caraway seed. Mix pretty well, cut into small cakes and bake. —Oatmeal Porridge,—-Soak six tablespoonfuls of meal over night in a pint and a half of water.; in the morning stir it well, and set it in a pail into a kettle of boiling water, and let it boil hard half an hour; then add a cupful of milk, and let it boil fifteen minutes. Season with salt, and eat with cream and sugar. —Potato Bread.—Take six good-sized potatoes, boil -and mash ven 7 fine. Add three pints boiling water. Stir flour in till it makes a stiff batter. When lukewarm, add your yeast, set it in a moderately warm place. In the morning knead in flour and salt as stiff as you can. Set in a warm place to rise; knead again, adding as little flour as possible. Let it raise again, and then put it into your pans, making them half full. When the loaves have risen to the top of tiie pans, bake them to a good brown. —At a meeting of the Elmira Farmers’ Club, W. A. Armstrong said thqt a cheap ice-house could be made out of a simple well roofed inclosure, .without hollow walls or pits or any costly apparatus; He leaves six inches of space next the side all around, into which he rams clean sawdust closely, and covers the ice when put in with a foot of the dust. The ice is cut into large blacks and made to fit at the joints as closely as convenient; but. where the edges are jagged he fills in with pounded ice or sawdust— the latter being the cheapest. Drainage is important; but, if the house stands on porous soil or is so elevated that the water will run oft readily, it answers every purpose. He has kept ice several years in such a building, nine feet square and the same in height, tiie sides being only of inch boards. When ice is taken out, be careful to keep all the cavities covered witli sawdust, or it will waste away rapidly. In answer to a question as to the cost of a hous6 fourteen feet square, he said that SSO would pay for it and the sawdust ; and, built of cheap lumber, it might cost only $25. In packing, spent tan or cut straw would answer nearly as well as sawdust Country Gentleman.

Drying Sweet Corn.

There are various ways of doing this, and, of course, woman-like, we think our way is the best. We have tried both ways—of cutting it from the cob and drying it in the sun without scalding, and of first scalding it a few minutes and then cutting it as closely as is possible without shaving the cob—and can safely assert that, the latter method is far superior. So tliis season we shall put on the biggest kettle that will fit the stove, and fill Hup with ears of sweet corn in the height of their sweetness and juice, and letting them scald for five minutes shall then skim them out into a pan, and with a corn-cutter scrape off each ear. Then spread tiie corn upon large plates, and set them in the tin oven, back of a Stewart stove, or not having that, they could be placed in the stove oven when it is partly cooled down. When the corn has shrunk up so that the plates can be emptied into ope, it can be placed in the sun, and covered with a piece of mosquito netting, which will keep off the flies, etc., and when thoroughly dried, it can be kept (ba a paper bag and hung up in the storeroom. Then next wiiater we shall have succotash frequently, as wc shall have a plenty of dry Lima and butter beans. To’use the corn, first wash it in cold water, letting all the hulls rise to the top, and be poured off. Then turn on warm water enough to cover it, and let it soak .nil niglit in a warm place. Next day half an hour’s boiling will make it soft and tender. Soak the beans in the same manner, and turn them together when they are ready to be boiled, straining out all the water from the beans, but leaving it in the corn, as it -will be sweet and tfiilky. Add enough water to boil both corn and beans. Then turn in a large cup of rich milk, orcream, and boil fifteen minutes. Season with salt, pepper and butter. It stands to reason if the corn is flrst scalded, it retains the sugar of milk, which produces its sweetness, but if it is cut off in the green state, this dries away upon the plates. And again, it is needful to dry it rapidly at first to preserve this flavor in the corn, which would be more apt to evaporate if dried slowly in the ■sun. But we must take care not to dry it so quickly as to scorch the kernels, for then they would be ruined. Sweet corn is sometimes put down in salt. Cut oft the corn after first scalding it a few minutes; then place a layer of it in a stone jar, and scatter a thin layer of fine salt over it, and fill up the jar in this manner. Keep it in a cool place, tightly covered, and ivhen desired for use, soak it over night, first washing it in several -waters to take out the salt. Then boil it in milk and water, with or without adding the beans. A tablespoonful of sugar will improve its flavor.— Daisy Eyebright, in Country Gentleman.

Cholera and Pain-Killer.

■Perry Davis’ Tain-Killer. —This unparalleled preparation is receiving more testimonials of its wonderful efficacy in removing pains, than any other medicine ever offered to the public. And these testimonials come from persons of every degree of intelligence, and every rank of life. Physicians of tbe first respectability, and perfectly conversant with the nature of diseases and remedies, recommend this as one of'the most effectual in their line of preparations for the cure of Cholera, Cholera Morbus and kindred bowel troubles now so common among the people. Destruction in Disguise. —lt is a fact that mixtures of bad liquors and acid astringents are-often-given for medicines.They are potent to destroy! and may be safely warranted to ruin, morally and physically, any human being thatlsticks to them long enough. More drunkards have been made by these villainous concoctions, labeled medicines, than by the liquors of Commerce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised as remedies,- are more mischievous than tavern drams. For intermittent and remittent fevers, as well as for xil other diseases which these fiery frauffsare falsely certified to relieve, Dr. Vinegar Bitters, the ne plus ultra of vegetable medicines, is a positive cure. But’this is not all; the great Tempeiance Elixir is a .sovereign specific for the depraved appetite for stimulants, created by the false tonic and bogus restoratives, of Missionaries of Intemperance. Within the present year many well-known citizens have certified that a course of Vinegar Bitters invariably obliterates the desire for spirituous excitants. 7 , We see by the Chicago papers that Procter & Gamble have reduced the price of their long-established and popular brand, Mottled GebmanSoap. Its present price and superior quality makes it the cheapest aa well as the best soap for consumers. The Best Thing fob Harness is the celebrated Frank Miller’s Harness Oil.

The most astonishing cure of chronic diarrh<ea we ever heard of is that of Wm. Clark, Frankfort Mills, Waldo Co., Maine; the facts are attested by Ezra Treat, Uptoil Treat and M. A. Merrill, cither of whom might be addressed for particulars. Mr. Clark was cured Johnson's Anrxtyne Liniment. Hon. Joseph Fahwell, Mayor of Rockland, Me., Isaac M. Bragg, Esq., Bangor, nnd Messrs. Hope Bros., Machias, Me., lumber merchants fully endorsed the Sheridan Cavalry Condition Ponxler*, and' have given the proprietors liberty to use their names in recommending them.

Avoid the Perils of the Season. Autumn, although the most radiant portion of the American year, has its drawbacks. The heavy evening dews and morning vapors and the great disparity in temperature between the night and day, give rise to many painful disturbances of the bowels. Bitch as colic, cholera morbus, dlarrhtra and dysentery. The digestive organs are also unfavorably affected by the change of season, and dyspeptics generally suffer most severely during the fall. Derangements of the liver are likewise common, and miasmatic fevers prevail in newlysettled districts and low-lying and marshy localities. These unpleasant contingencies of the season arc not. however, unavoidable. By strengthening, toning and regulating the system with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters even the most delicate may escape them. At the expiration of summer all tlie bodily powers are in a somewhat exhausted state. They require the wholesome stimulation which this genial vegetable invigorant supplies. Under its renovating influence the nervous energy which the willing heat of July and August had kept in abeyance or partially extinguished, crops out afresh; the flaccid muscles recover their elasticity; the appetite takes.a sharper edge; the processes of digestion and assimilation become more rapid and perfect; the spirits rise, nnd the whole organization acquires its maximum of activity and resistant power. Even persons of comparatively feeble constitutions., when thus fortified against, tlie perils of the season, will have little cause to fear a visitation from any of the disorders, to which we have referred. Asa protection against miasmatic fevers and all epidemics engendered by malaria Hostetter’s Bitters may lie justly pro-, nonneed not. only unrivaled but unapproached. Look Well to the label and trade-mark, as there are many counterfeits and imitations in the market.

PtfSICIANTJiPINIONk Dr. €L Knorr* Auburn, DeKalb Co., Ind., a practising physician of twenty years* standing, says: Mishler’s Herb Bitten is a medicine that I can conscientiously recommend. I have used it in my pracTr * ,e Mark. _tlce for a number of yean, and know from experience that it is a good remedv. N. B. Morrlwn, M.D., North East. Cecil Co., Md.: Our Druggists bere have a good demand for MISHLER’S HERB BITTERS. I have used it in my practice with good resulp, and do not hesitate to recommend it as a valuable remedy, particularly in affections of thekldneys J.T. Baker, M. D-, Lancaster. Pa.: DuHng the past ten years I'have had frequent opportunities of witnessing the effect of MISHLER’S HERB BITTERS. I have known it to prove successful in many cases where Allopathic. Homoeopathic and Hydropathic treatment bad failed. I consider it the most efficacious remedy yet discovered for Diseases arising from a Disordered Stomach, LlTer.Kfdneys or Bowels. ' THE LATE HON. THABMOS STEVENS, Pronounced MISHLER’S HERB BITTERS “the most wonderful combination of Medicinal Herbs he ever saw.’* He suffered for many Tears from an organic affection of the kidneys, and hundreds or his friends at Washington and Lencsster know that be attributed the prolongation of hi* life to this Great Diuretic. Nothing else relieved him. MUMITISMTTU& lEIIIIO AMItTUIEUIL

What £ Mtssioxaby bays : • * * ‘-I regret to say that the cholera' haa prevailed here of late to a fearful extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to fifty or sixty fatal cases each day have been reported. I should add that the Pain-Killer sent recently from the Mission Mouse has been used with considerable success during this epidemic. If taken In season, it la generally effectual in checking the disease. Rev. CHARLES HARDING. Singapore, lixlla. w Its Merits are Unsurpassed. If you are suffering from INTERNAL PAIN, Twenty to Thirty Drops in a Little Waler will almost Instantly cure you. There is nothing equal to it. Inafew moments it cures Colic, Cramps, Spasms. Heartburn, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, F lux/Wind in the Bpweis, Sour Stomach, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache. It cures Cholera, when all other Remedies Fail. It gives Instant Relief from Aching Teeth, In sections of the country where revexiand Ague Prevails, therein no-remedy hcldin greater esteem. anil Ague— Take three tenspo'onfuls of the Pain-Killer in about half a plntnf hot water, wellswcetened with molasses, as the attack is coining on, bathlug freely the chest, back anti bowels with the medicine at the same time. Repeat the dose in twenty minutes if the first dose does not stop the chill. Should it produce a vomiting (and If probably wlh if the stomach is very foul), takfea little Pjiin-K i lljkb in cold water, sweetened with sufcait, after each spasm. Perseverance in the above treatment has cured many severe and obstinate cases of this disease.
