To OVR C'AMPAIGX SUBSCRIBERS. —Tht
uext number of the ISYUIRR* will be the lag,
to such of our campaign subscribers as <)<
not wish to continue their subscriptions. W<
will continue the paper to all such as do no
signify their desire to atop it either by iettei
to us or through the Post Master. We hav
a large number of Republicans in the county
who do not take the ISQI IRER regularly. Tc
such, and they comprise nearly all our earn
paign subscribers, we l ave a word to gay.
No man who wishes to I- ; e d on the news
the day and the affairs ol bis county can
afford to be without his c coy paper. Il
alone contnius the legal advertising and geri
cral news of the county which are of most
importance to him. 1 hing.s near at home, in
his 01 n coramuuity, are of more importance
to him than any others, yet these are the very
mailers concerning which he can iearu noth
ing, in any other than his own county paper.
Many persona subscribe for a city paper be
< ause they can get a little latger paper for the
same price. This is poor economy. The
city paper has no interest in the general wel
fare and improvement of the community in
which you reside. It is frequently filled with
disgusting police reports and obgcene adver
tisements, such as are unfit to be seen or read
m the family circle, except at the risk of cor
rupting and demoralizing your children.
Knowing these to be serious objections to many
of the cheaper city papers and indeed to not
a tew country papers, we bare conscientiously
labored ever since our connection with the
INQUIRER to make it a general depository of
ai. the county news and the more important
foreign news and at the same time make it an
unexceptionable family newspaper. For this
purpose we have greatly enlarged it, makiug
it the largest in the county, so as to enable us
to publish each week, beside the news, a large
amount of interesting and instructive reading
which cannot fail to benefit all who regularly
and carefully peruse it. In addition to this
we give special attention to agricultural and
horticultural matters and do all iu our power
to promote the improvement and develop
ment of all the interests and resources of our
maty. \\ e print each week a larger amount
of news and general reading matter than any
other paper in this section of the State and
intend to do so as long as our patrons sustain
us in such a manner as will justify us in so
doing. It is for this purpose we urge our
campaign subscribers to become permanent
subscribers. Neither of the county papers
have aver been supported and patronized as
they should be. Therefore we say let all,
who are now taking the INQUIRER, continue it
Rtid get their neighbors to take it also and
pay for it in advance, and they will enable
us not only to keep it up to its present stand
ard but to keep improving it continually.
GREENBACKS WELL INVESTED. —Whatever
may be the political decision about the value
of 'Greenbacks," a dollar and a-ha!f of them
cannot be better invested just now than in
securing that most valuable and beautifully
illustrated journal, adapted to the wants of
every Man. Woman, and Child, in City,
\ iiiage, or Country—the American Agricul.
turist so called because it was originally
started, 27 year ago, specially as a rural
journal. 11 is now three limes its former size,
and is filled wi:h highly useful, non-political
information for all classes—for the House
hold, for the garden, for the Orchard, and
:or the Farm, fbe hundreds of beautiful and
instructive engravings are alone worth many
times the cost, while its forty large pages
contain a world of carefully prepared, practi
cal instruction, including an excellent House
hold Department, and a very useful as well
as pleasing Department for Children and
Youth.lt is taken and read by at least seventy
five thousand people in Cities and Villages,
and by as many more Farmers, Gardeners,
I ruit Growers, etc. Probably nowhere else can
one get so much that is really valuable for so
little mouey.Now is the time to subscribe, for
the publishers offer the balance of this year
free, to all new subscribers now received for
18G9. Four copies are supplied from how to
the end of 1869, for So.oo. The number for
Oct. Ist, just at band, like its predecessors,
is a superb paper, ihe publishers offer a
arge and valuable Premium List to those
securing clubs of subscribers. Address Or
ange Judd 4 Co., 240 Broadway, X'ew York.
Take our advice and trv the paper for a year
—or 11 months now for the usual cost of a
year.
THE ATLANTIC.— In the Atlantic Monthly
for November, Mr. E. P. Whipple has a
second paper on Lord Bacon, in which is
given an admirable analysis of the character
and genius of the great philosopher. Mr.
Eugene Benson, in an article entitled "For
eign Faces," laments the commouplace and
monotonous aspect of most American faces,
and contrasts the romantic and picturesque
:aees, to be seen in Continental Europe, and
especially in Paris. Bayard Taylor describes
■se Land of Paoli; Karl Blind reviews
"The Traditional Policy of Russia;" Mr.
Adams S. Hill satirizes some feminine follies.
i an article entitled "Maydenvalley. Spins
tcrland;" Mrs. E. Stuart Phelps tells a good
story, under the head of "Kentucky's Ghost:''
an anonymous writer criticises severely the
sculptors of this country; Alice Cary con
tributes a sweetly plaintive poem, called "My
Darling:"' a first paper on "Co operative
Housekeeping" gives some sensible and
practical advice.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN" GAIL HAMILTON
AND FANNY FERN.—".VV Dear Miss Dodge,
otherwise Gail Hamilton: —A book is in
prospect. Many of our well-known literary
people are to write for it. Its title is to be
'Eminent Women of the Time.' Yon and I
are to be in it. lamto do you Who is to
serve me up,- the gods only know. Will you
be good enough to inform me at your earliest
convenience, when and where you cut your
first tooth, whether you had the measles be
fore the mumps, or the mumps before the
measles: also any other interesting items
about yourself.
"Writing about you will be a labor of love
with me; for although a stranger to you, save
through your writings, 1 rejoiee every day iu
your existence.

"FANNY FERN."
Iu a iew days I received the following
reply;—
My Dear Mrs. Fa n: —The coolness of

about to burn me at the stake, and will I
have the goodness to send on shavings and

'"LIFE AND BCFFERIXGS OF
"GAIL HAMILTON.
"WRITTEN BY ITSELF, ASO WITH FORMER
TRANSLATION'S DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND !
REVISED
"lo the best of my knowledge and belief, I i
was born in the 'New York Independent,'
some time during the latter half of the present |
century, and before the 'lndependent' had i
been annexed to the domains of 1 heodore, i
King of Abyssinia, against whom the great j
powers hare just advanced an expedition.
Simultaneously, or thereabouts, I was also j
born in the 'National Era." So I must be !
twins. On that ground it has never been :
satisfactorily settled, whether I am myself
or Mrs. Simpson, of Washington. If I am !
Mrs. Simpson, I am the wife of an officer, I
who, to his infinite regret, was uot killed in I
the late unpleasantness, and am a lineal j
descendant of that Simple Simon, who once '
went a fishing for to catch a whale, though
all the watSr that he had was ID his mother's
pail. If lam not Launcelot, nor another,
but only my own self, I am like Melchisedec,
without father, without mother, without de- ■
scent, and my enemies fear, also, I hare no
end of life. On one point commentators are j
agreed.—that lam not ao 'Eminent Woman'
of my time, and therefore have no part nor f
lot in your book.
In fact I am
"Neither man nor woman,
I am neither brute nor human,

"And all that I ask isto be let alone. From
the 'lndependent' I graduated into the 'Con
gregatioualist,' of blessed memory; and from
the 'Era' I paddled over into the 'Atlantic.'
I flourish in immortal vigor on the cover of
'Our Young Folks,' and at sundry times, and
in divers other manners and places, have, I
fear, contributed to the deterioration of our
youth. I sadly confess, also that lam guilty
of as many books as Mrs. Rogers had small
children; but being written in love, and in the
spirit of meekness, they are heid in high es

me daily the care of all the churches.
"Such, unhappy fellow sufferer, is my thril

HARPERS' monthly Magazine for November
with the present number closes the thirty
seventh volume of Harpers' Magazine. Like
its many predecessors, it is filled with an
abundance of entertaining and useful read
ing. and profusely embellished with artistic
wood engravings. "Fish Culture in Ameri
ca," is the theme of the opening paper, and
it gives an exhaustive account of this some
what curious, but highly important matter.
"Explorations in Lower California" presents
a view of a country but little known. "A
Major s Business and Pleasure," is from the
pen of that graphic delineator of Sonthern
society since the war, Major J. W. De Forest.
"Rural Life" is an essay on living in the
country. "Democracy of the Chinese" is
timely, and written by one who becamerfhor
oughly acquainted with the Celestials in their
own overcrowded land, the Rev. William
Speer D. I)., of this city. Of stories there is
a great variety. The "Easy Chair" is genial
and garrulous, and the "Drawer" bubbles over
with comicalities. For sale at the INQUIRER
Book Store.
GOPEY'S LADY'S BOOK.— Very rich in fine
illustrations is the current number of
"Godey's." There is a steel plate, a tinted
drawing, an illuminated fashion plate of six
figures, an extension sheet, illustrating all
the latest mutations of fashion, in thirty five
separate engravings. A fine specimen of
color-printing shows samples of knitted win
ter garments. New bodies are presented in
six patterns. I'he "Grecian Bend" is pre
sented and commented upon most unfa
vorably.* The literary department embrace"
full descriptions of the numerous engravings;
the continuation of Marion Harlaod's new
novelette, "Phemie Rowlaud;" short stories
and poems by favorite authors, book reviews,
pleasant words of wisdom, from "Godey's
Arm Cbair," useful receipts and valuable in
structions to ladies on embroidery, knitting,
marking, 4c.
"PKAMJ s CIICOMO. for September, is re
ceived. It is filled with wood cut illustrations
of Mr. Prang's world renowned chromo-litho
graph pictures, with suitable letter press
descriptions, and makes attractive reading,
the more so as it is printed in the best style.
The Chromo tells us that one of the most
brilliant landscapes ever issued is now nearly
ready for publication. It is a view in the
Yosemite Valley, by Bierstadt, t' ■ well known
American painter. It represents a bright
sunset on a lonely lake, California, whose
solitude is disturbed only by a pair of water
fowl that hover over and rest on the rocks at
the shore. Abrupt, steep, ruggwff cliffs. over
a part of which tumbles headlong a graceful
waterfall, form the southern boundary of the
lake: and a fringe of gigantic branchless fir
trees skirt the northern shore.
THE KING OP BAVARIA, kindly permitted
Doct. J. C. Ayer to have a copy taken of
Ranch's celebrated collossal statue of Victory,
which belongs to the Bavarian crown and
stands at the entrance of the Royal Palace at
Munich. The Doctor bad it cast in bronze,
and bas presented it to the City of Lowell
where it stands in the Park and symbolizes
the triumphs of both freedom and medicine.
Her manufactures are the pride of Lowell,

the unnumbered multitude who are cured by

FOR PURIFYING THE DLOOL).
The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
ia derived from its cures, many of which are truly
marvelous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease,
where the Bygtem seemed satorated with corrup
tion, have been purified and c ured by it. Scrofu
lous affections and disorders, which were aggra
vated by the scrofulous contamination until they
were painfully afflicting, have been radically cur
ed in such great numbers in almost every section
rf the c unify, that the public scarcely nedtobe
informed of its virtues or us-s.
Scrofulous poison is one of the nor destructive
•nciniea of our race. Often, this unseen and un-
Jelt tenant of the organism undermines the con
stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling ..r
fatal diseases, without exhibit.nga suspicion of its
presence. Again, it see ins to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on inc favorable
occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of Us
hideous forms, either on the surface or among
the vitaß. In the latter, tubercl ■. uiay be sud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors
formed in the liver, or it shows its presence bv
eruptions on the skin, or fetil ulcerations on some
par? of the body. Hence the occasional uso of a
Lf tie of this Sartuparrilla is auvisab'e, e\ < n
when no active symptoms of disease appear.
Person- afflicted with the io'.lowiug

This Company, National in its character, of
fers, by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates of
Premium and New Tables, the most desirable
means of insuring life yet presented to the public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced,
are made as favorable to the insurers as those of
the best .Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi
dends and the misunderstandings which the latter
are so apt to create among the Policy-Holders.
■Several new and attractive tables are now pre
sented which need only to be understood to prove
acceptable to the public, such as the INCOME
PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN PREMI-
I M POLIC'k . In the former, tho policy-holder
not only secures a life Insurance, payable at
death, but will receive, if living, after a period of
a lew years, nil annual income equal to teg per
cent. (10per cent.) of the par of hie policy. In
the latter, the Company agrees to return to the
ateurcd the total amouat of money he ha* paid in,
in addition to the amount of hit policy.
fhe attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or increasing the amount of insur
ance they already have, is called to the special
advantages offered bv the National Life Insurance
Company.
