On Saturday last the good people of this
county had the pleasure of listening to this elo
quent champion of Republicanism, in front of
the Court House, in this place, for a short time.
All who heard bim were delighted.
Mr. M'Pbersou had paid a short visit to
Franklin conuty—admiring some of our bon
nets, we believe—when the large crowd who
were here, from all parts of the couuty, to wit
ness the Balloon Ascension, called him out and
gave bim aD attentive hearing for the short time
he was permitted to speak, which vras but about
half an hour, owing to the starting of the Bal
loon. What he said, however, was well calcu
lated to please every honest man present. Tho
happy expression of the countenances of his
hearers, while he was speaking, showed their
satisfaction.
In the evening the ''Wide Awakes" mot,
according to previous arrangement, at the Ho
tel of Messrs. Weist & Grove, and, after trans*
actiDg some important business, marched to the
Hotel where Mr. MePhersoo was staying, (Mr.
Johr Fisher's,) under the Marsbaisbip of Capt.
P B. i/jusum, and escorted the orator to
Frankliu //all, whero he entertained a large,
attentive audience, for an hour, with a masterly
effort. Mr. McPberson is justly the favorite
of the people of this CoDg/essional District.—
He is honest, candid, faithful in the discharge
of all bis Congressional duties, and in his in
tercourse with his fellow-meu. With such as
he in Congress, the interests of Pennsylvania
will bo well protected. As long as he is wil
ling to serve, we hope he will be continued in
Congress.— Repository.

THE TARIFF CANDIDATE.—In the present
contest lot ever; Pcunylvanian remember that
Jlbrabi.m Lincoln is the only Tanft candidate
for the PreiiJoncy before the people. Breck
inridge aud Douglas are both in favor of Pro
gressive Free Trade, and Bell must be also, or
the part; would not sail out honest voters to
the &h*i>i Democracy.
Caleb Cusbiog speaks, liberally, of tbe Re
publican candidate as follows :
''Abraham Liucnln is a much abler man
than is generally supposed, even in his OWD
party. In bis canvass with Douglas he beat
him in law, beat him in argumeut, and beat
biui in wit; and tbe published debates of th.it
canvass will sustain this assertion."
H is said that the candidates on the Breck
inridge ticket in the South are obliged to an
swer the following question :—"Are you for

Lincoln should he be elected President V
FEMALE HEALTH! FEMALE HEALTH !
Thousands of females suffer from derangements
peculiar to the sex. Fiist, and most common among
these is, Female Weakness or Whites, or Ltucor

No one can be entirely well who thus suffers, and
in hundreds of cases health is utterly undetmined.
Old school medicines and drugs do but little good
—often much injury; but Humphreys' Specific

DURING the summer that lias just passed away,
thousands of sufferers from dysentery and diarrhoea
have been relieved by the use of llostetter's Bit
ters, a medicine which is evidently destined to
maintain a permament place in the public estimation.
Billions diarthrea is one of those diseases which
baffles the skill oi the physician. The medicine they
administer to act upon the bowles never seems to
reach the source of the evil. The difficulty is to
get a remedy that will reach all the digestive organs,
and give them simultaneously a rush of vigor, to
rid themselves of this disease. This problem is
solved by the Bitters, which never fails to conquer
the most stubborn eases. It is only fair to suy; that
during the season just closed, this medicine has
achieved more cures than any other ever presented
to the public, and during the fall, which that terri
ble scourge, the fever and ague, is so prevalent,
the Bitters will gain fresh fame.
Sold by druggists and dealers generally.

be thrown from my sulky agaiDSt a roek near the
roadside, from which my head received a most
terrible blow; causing a great deal of irritation,
which communicated to the brain aud external
surface of the head, from the effects of which my
hair was finally destroyed over the entire surface
of the head. From the time I first discovered its
dropping, however, up to the time of its total dis
apjtearance, I employed everything I could think
of, being a professional man myself, and, as I
thought, understanding the nature of the disease,
but was finally detested in every prescription ad
vanced.
Tnese and no other circumstances induced me to
resort to your worthy Hair Restorative, which 1
have every reason to believe, produced a very hap
py result: two months after the first application, 1
had as beautiful a head of young hair as I ever saw,
for which I certainly owe yon my most sinctre
thanks. Rest assured, dear sir, I shall recommend
your remedy to all inquirers; moreover, I shall use
rny influence, which I flatter myself to say, is not
a little.
You can publish this if you thiuk proper.
Yours, very respectful!v.

Dear Sir:—l feel it my duty as well as my pleas
ure, to state to you the following circumstance,
which you can use as you think proper. A gentle
man of this place, (a lawyer,) has been bald ever
since His early youth . so much so, that he was
compelled to wear a wie. He was induced to use
a bottle of your "Ilair Restorative," which he
liked very much ; and after using some two or
three bottles bis hair grew out quite luxuriantly,
and he now has a handsome head of hair. The
gentleman's nam< is Bradford, and as he is very
well known in our adjoining counties, many persons
can testify to the truth of this statement; 1 give it
to you at the request of Mr. Bradford. You can
sell a great deal of your Hair Restorative iu this
and the adjoining counties if you have the proper
agents. Youts, Ac.,
THOMPSON SURGUNOR.
DK. WOOD : Dear Sir : Permit me to express the
obligations I am under for the entire restoration ot
my hair to its original color; about the time of my
arrival in the United States it was rapidly becoming
gray, but upon the application of your "Hair Re
storative" it soon recovered its original hue. I
consider your Restorative as a very wonderful in
vention. quite efficacious as well as agreeable.
S. THALBEKG.
The Restorative is put up in bottles of three
sixes, vix ; large, medium and small holds £ a pint,
and retails for one dollar per bottle; the medium
holds at least twenty per cent, more in porportion
than the small, retails for two pilars pet bottle;
the I irge holds a quart, 40" per cent more iu pro
portion, and retails for three dollars per bottle.
