NEW YORK is feller than ever of refugees und cow
ardly southerners, most of them rebels but with no
stomach for powder and ball. They till the hotels

gold (a favorite form of helping their brethren at

till the quotas, and in every way that they have the
courage for give aid-and comfort to the rebel cause.

LEATHER PlES. —Artsy pies are so terribly tough
that soldiers esdl them leather pies. A poor fellow
of Grants army, whose arm had just been amputated,
was being carried past a stand the other day where
an old woman was selling pies, when he raised him
self in the ambulance and called out. 'H say old lady,
are those pies sewed or pegged.'"
NEWSPAPER BCSIXESS, by reason of enhanced wa

A CHILD THAT TAIJCEI* AT BIRTH. —South Trov is

WHAT ARE TOE IOOKINO FOR ?—A man was angry
with his wife, either because she miked to much, or
for some other reason and re-uvea not to speak
toh?rfora long, long vitne. He kept iiis resolu
tion for a few days very strictly. One evening he is
'lying in bed and wishes to sleep : he draws his night
cap over his ears, and his wife may say what she will,
he hears nothing of it. The wife then takes a can
dle, and carries it to every nook and cornet* of tin
room ; she removes stools, chairs, and tables, and
looks carefully behind them. The husband sits up
in bed. and gazes inquiringly at her movements : he
thinks that the din must have an end at last; but he
. is mistaken —his wife keeps on looking and search
ing. The husband loses patience, and cries, "What
are you looking for ?" —"For your tongue,'' she an
swers ; "and now that I have found it, tell me why
you arc angry."' Hereupon they became good
friends again.
HEBE:. DISA3*POIVTMEXT BECAUSE WASHINGTON
WAS NOT CAPTURED. —She Kithmoud SBnffuirer of
the 18th instant says the fall of Washington was
most anxiously expected by the people, who were
mnch disappointed on learning that the invaders had
not accomplished thi.: object, but much gratified
amid their chagrin, that "the Yankee capital could
be frightened out of its wits. - ' The H/igtiirer'4~untß
that Pennsylvania is soon to be scoured by 40,000
rebels as it invites foraging on a large scale, and a
foray into that region should cultivate in a r-iott
beautiful harvest the already earn seeds of peace.' 1
The Pennsvlvanians are looked on by the Confeder
ates as being entirely indifferent to the losses inflict
ed on Maryland, as they consider-Maryland with, if
not of. the "Confederacy, and hence the popular de
sire of the South that the Keystone State sdiould be
punished by an -extensive raid.
LOSSES BY THE LATE MARYLAND RAID.— We find
it estimated that the entire loss by the rebel raid in
Maryland will not much exceed two millions of dol
lars. Of this amount the Philadelphia, Wilmington
r.nd Baltimore Railroad suffered to the extent of
something over one hundred thousand dollars ; the
Northern Central to about the same amount: the
Baltimore and Ohio had seven bridges and four miles
of track and several station houses destroyed; tele
graph companies wt re damaged to the amount of
three or tour thousand dollars : the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal had the aqueduct at Antietain destroyed,
mid all the locks between Antietnm and Willianus
port demolished with between twenty and thirty
boats. The county losses are estimated as follow •
Hartford county. $ 15.000; Baltimore eo.. £42.(MX) •
Carrall eo.. SIO,OOO : Frederick eo., $372,000, in
cluding $200.000 ransom money : Washington co.
$85,000, and tlie balance was lost bv farmers, store
keepers and others, in damage to farms, the pilla
ging of shops, ruaniug off cattle, horses, 4c., 4.
A PEIRTIERI. IDEA. —In the mountains of Tvrol
it is the custom of the women and children to come
out when it is bed-time and singtheir national songs
cntil they hear the husbands, fathers, and brothers
answering thent from the bills on their return hoqjc.
On the shores of the Adriatic such a custom
vails. There the wives of the fisherman come down
about sunset and sing a melody. After singing the
first stanza, they listen for an at.*werinr melody7'roin
off the water, and continue to sing and listen till the
well known voice comes borne on the waters telling
that the loved ones are almost -homo. How sweet
to the ear\ fisherman, as the shadows gather round
him, must he the songs of the loved , oe s at home:
and how they must strengthen and tighten the links
that bind them together these humble" dwellers bv
the sea! Truly it is among the lowly in tlis life
that we find some of the most beautiful customs in
practice.
ANEW DISEASE.— The Buffalo Medical Journal
describe at e*diseasejwhicl|has appeared at Cheek-*
tawaga, in Krie eountv, New York, of which several
persons have died. It commences with a-diarrhea,
and is lollowed by emaciation until death supervenes.
The autopsy revealed the cause of death to be the
presence of the worm Trichini spirilis in the stria
ted muscles. The same parasite was also shown in
a sausage, of which one of the dead persons had eat
en, and without doubt originated from pork. The
worm was undoubtedly set tree in the process at di
gestion, and immediately pierced the walls of the
intestines, creating the diarrhea, and passed through
the peritonenm into the muscles. It is very tenaci
ous ot life,and will resist a strong heat. The parishes
were found in the muscles of the dead persons in
large nnm&ere. 1 lie medical men had no doubt
that the use of pork as an article of diet was the
cause of the disease. The. tape worm, it is believed,
nrigonatcs in a similar manner.

C. A. BANXVART— Hear Sir .- T'have used Brown's
Bronchial Troche#. Winter's Lozenge* and other-prepara

ison with thorn all. enn'cheerfully commend your own as
a uiost admirable specific for public speaker* and singers,
in eases ef Hoarseness, coughs and colds. I have found
them serving in time of need most effectually.
To C. A. BAXNVART— Dear Sir: h. the habit of speak
ing very frequently, and in places where the vocal organs
are very much taxed, I have found the need of some gen
tle expectorant, and that want has been supplied in vour
excellent Troches. I consider them very far superior to
any Loxw.-.gys that 1 have ever used, in removing speedi
ly t hat hu-ltiness of the voice arising from its too frequent
u.-e, and impairing the effectiveness of the delivery of
public addresses. Yours, Ae„

A pure end powerful Tonic, corrective and ali#roui tfla/
wonderful efficacy in disease of the
STOMACHH LIVER AND BOWELS.
Carts Dyspepsia, Liver complaint, Headache. General d.
liilily, Nervousness, Depression of Spirits, Constipation
Colic. Intermittent Fevers, Cramps and Spasm*, and s ;i
Complaints of cither' Sex, arising from Bodily Weakn..,
whether inherent in the system or prodaced by special
csur*es.
Nothing that is not wholesome, genial ofcd restorative
in its-nature enters into the composition of Hostetter'i
."-tomach Bitters This popular preparation contains go
mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical element: no
firry excitant thut it is a combination of the extracts <,{
rare balsamic herb* and plants with the purest and niiid'
est of all diffusive stimulants
It is well to be forearmed against disease, and so far u
hnmsin system can be protected by human means against
maladies engendered by an on wholesome atmosphere i rn
pure water siod other external causes, HosteUer's Biu er ,
may be relied on as a safeguard.
In districts infested with Fever and Ague, it has bet#
found infallible as a preventive and irresiztable as a rem
edy, and thousands who resort to it under apprehension
of an attack, escape the scourges wed thousands who neg
lect to atvaii thetni-elves of its protective qualities in ad
vance, are eared by a very brief course of th is warveloai
medicine Fever and Ague patients, after being plied
with quinine for months in vain, until fairly saturated
with that dangerous alkaloid, and not unfrequently re
stored to health within a few days by the use of ILjstct
tcr's Bitters.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the appe
tite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and hence it works
wonders in cases of Disptpsia and in less confirmed forms
indigestion. Acting as a gentle send painless aperients,
as well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves ih 4
Constipation superinduced by irregular action of the di.
geative and secretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous A Harks, Lets.
■R'* of Spirits, and Fits of Languor, find prompt and per
manent relief from the Bitters. The testimony on this
point is most conclusive, and from both sexes.
The agony of Billious Colic is immediately assuaged by
a single dose of the stimulant, and by occasionally resort
keg to it. the return of the complaint may be prevented.
Asa general Tonic. Hoatetter's Bitters produce effects
which must he experienced or witnessed before thev can
be fully appreciated In cases of Constitutional H'eok
nets, PrejinTnre Devay and Debility and Decreptitnd*
arising from Old Age. it exercises on electric influence.
In the convalescent stages of ail diseases it operates ai a
inrigorant. When the powers of nature are relaxed, it
operates to re-enforce and re-estaUu-h them.
Last, but not least, it is The Only Safe Stimulant, being
manufactured from sound and innoxiousmaterjai*. and en
tirely free from the acid elements present more or less in
in all the ordinary tonics iesd stomachics of the day.
No family medicine has beer, so universally, and" it may
be Duly added, deservedly popular with tit intelligent
portion of the community, as f I arte t tor's Bitters.
