James Si Co., 108 Fulton Street New York. How often do you hear the complaint from mother and father that their son or daughter is not well; that they have no appetite; thai they feel languid; that t'neir headaches; that tbev are growing thin and feeble, and thai they have no life or energy left. That tbe> are low-spirited, and perfectly incapacitated to participate in any pleasures, or perform any mental or physical duty. And the question is ofteu asked, what shall I do for them ? or what shall I give them ? Our answer is, let tbem try PLANTATION BITTERS moderately three times a day, and our word for it they will recover. CIU'RI'H DEDICATION—The German Re formed Church, erected at Pieasantvitle, this county, during last summer and autumn, was formally dedicated to the worship ot the Triune God on Saturday, the 16th instant The pastor of the Congregation, Rev. C. I* Heilrr.an. wag assisted iu the conservatory services of tbe occasion by Rev. W. M. Dea trick of Friends Cove and Rev. N. H. Skyles of Schellsburg. The church edifice is a neai and handsome structure, forty feet in length by thirty four feet in breadth. The crowd ot persons in attendance was very large, there being excellent sleighing iu that section ot the county at the time. The cbnrch is said to be the best in St. Clair township, and re flects credit on the pastor and good people of that region. ESCORSAGE HOME ENTERPRISE—Many ol onr people complain of the lack of enterprise in the community, yet instead of encouraging anything ot the kind they do all tbey can to injure and discourage. This is particularly the case in regard to our mechanics and mer chants. A man wants a pair of boots or a suit of clothes and straightway has bis mess ure taken and sends to Harrisburg, Philadei phia or New Yoik instead of getting them made at borne, and pays more for them than it would cost to get them here. Auother wants a few pounds of coffee or sugar or a boil ot muslin and for fear bis neighbor at home, in the mercantile business, might male a few pennies profit on it, he sends to Phila delphia or Baltimore and pays the same price and profit to the dealer there. The man who practices these things cften gets cheated and he well deserves it. He is no benefit to the community and does not deserve its support. If we want home enterprise we must hel, each other and not begrudge the merchant manufacturer or mecbauic a fair price for hi ware* or his labor. The money we spend for necessities in our own community is kept with us and invested in improvements, while '.hat which is sent abroad goes to the improve raent of other places at our expense. Wilt not onr people learn wisdom in their own in terest and cease to practice the shortsighted policy of spending their money abroad for what ;bey can get a; home ? THE TKIBLSE AIMANAC for 18R,9. is ju pubiished. It has been extended to 88 peges. a; art from advertisements and cov er. and contains a complete account of tbe Elections of 1868, with tbe popular vote by- States.

John Scott, of Huntingdon, in his Senatorial aspirations, has so elated the people of that ancient vil lage, that they have given way to the most excessive manifestations of delight, some of which, it is said, appear ludicrous in the best definition of the word. An eye witness, who is our informant, says that he has never read, beard or seen anything like it. Our narrator says the usually sober town has been drunk with excitement; that o'd men and muidens have vied with each other in their enthusiasm; young men and matrons have joined their most ardent zeal with the universal impulse; old men have thrown away their canes and danced with delight; mairons have loving'y seized their offspring and covered theui with kisses in an exuberance of joy; young gentlemen and young ladies have been seen to embrace, rapturously, upon the door steps; boys and girls have exhausted their school hours in dicting billetdoux congratulating each other on the general result: and several good feeling fellows were seen embracing lamp posts whtle others of their companions were feeling up for the ground; the latter, however, were exceptions'. The new born babe is now christened Scott; the boy coasting down the hill, in the midst of his deiigbt, pulls ofi" his hat and hurrahs for Scott ; the little girl lisps, ere her matin song, *Ts forStott;" the maid en, full of blushes, "mittens" the chap who does not put his trust in Scott; the mer chant forgets his measurement in his anxie ty for the cause of Scott; the miller stops his mill to further the interests of Scott; the Judge upon the bench "sees the point clearly" and goes for Scott; the lawyers at the bar move the continuance of the list and are jolly over the success of Seott; the jury believe in Scott and the prisoner in the dock should go Scott free. The doctor, it is said, coats his pills w : ,t'h Scott and every body takes them; the dent i-t has been known to stop with a ha'.j wrench ed tooth. portraying the triump,' ns 0 f Scott, and when the excited and addicted patient has subsided sufficiently t u t h e pain. he has been soothed r„ th a fregh app]ica tion ot Scott; the 'jnok-seller has sold ail the copies of Se on band, two or three dozen of the ish Chiefs and only failed 'O sell all * ihe b a | anc e 0 f his stock because it was nor labelled Scott; "Dad Lewis" has " U P plied the place with Scott-snnW, where •y everybody has sneezed, until his prize have become tbe thing of the whole town and the last ODC drawn has been the Hon. John Scott. We rejoice with the good citizens of that place over their good fortune, though we cannot resist the temptation to rally tbem for their excessive delight, for which they will, we know, excuse us. We believe, se riously, that not only Huntingdon should be proud of the result but all Central Penn sylvmnia. The extremes, heretofore, have presumed that they alone were entitled to these honors while we have been left out in the cold. In the future Central Peonsylvs nia will take care of her own peculiar inter ests. OCR COMMON SCHOOLS.—The Report of the State Superintendent Wickersbarn, just re eeived, gives the following interesting statis tics : I'he number of school districts in the State 1.018 dumber of Schools 13,60' i Number of graded schools 2.352 Number of school directors 11,098 Number of superintendents 75 Number of teachers 16.771 Number of pupils 800.515 Average number of pupils 508.104 Cost of Tuition for the year $3,273,269,43 Cost of building, purchasing and renting school houses 1,991,152 55 Crst of contingencies 854,253 21 foial cost for tuition, building, Ac., and contingencies 6,118,675 19 Total cost, including expendi tures of all kinds 6,200,537 96 Estimated value of school prop ertv 10,556,765 90 Total Slate appropriaiion for common school purposes, including amount paid to county superintendents, and including amount paid to Philadelphia, in 1868 $3+5,500 00 Total in 1867 343,140 00 Increase in 1868 360 00 The increase in the average attendance ol pupils in 1868 over that in 1867, is 23.780, while the increase in 1867 over that in 1860, was only 1,488. Xo lact could better indi cate the improving condition of our schools. The increase in money expended for buiid ing purposes amounting to $372,674 24. Add this to the increased amount expended tor building purposes in Philadelphia, $355, 779 63, and we have the whole increase in the Slate, $728,353 87. Within a fraction ot 82.000.000 00 were spent for building pur poses during the year. Superintendent Wickersbarn says: Tbe time has come for the Legislature to paq£ an act providing for the taking of a school cen -us of the children of the State. In case this -bould be done, blanks suitable for the pur pose can easily be prepared by ibis Depart ment; and perhaps the assessors of taxes in the different townships, wards and boroughs, would be the proper authorities to intrust with the work. In ibis way. if done only at the time of making tbe triennial assessment, it need not cost mucb, and it wouid prepare be public mind for the legislation that must lollow, in order to gather tbe ignorant, and LOO often vicioa3 children info our schools. But cost what it may, it is a work we must perform. These neglected children must either be brought into schools, or many of (hem wiil find their way into our houses of refuge, our almshouses, or our jails and peui leutiaries. AMERICAN FISH CCLTCRE, embracing all ihe details of artificial breeding and rearing of trout; tbe culture of Salmon, shad and other fishes; by Thaddeus Norris, has been on our table for some lime. Fish culture is be ginning to attract attention in many parts of our country, not only with a view to restock ing our rivers and brooks with the choicest of the finny tribes, but also to make it a source of pecuniary profit to those engaging in tbe enterprise. Mr. Norris' book will give a vaai amount of information to tho*e de-iring it on Hiis interesting topic. He speaks from a 'arge personal exper enee and observation .ad has also avail 'Q himself of the aid and experience of oiber-> engaged in the work ol rearing fish. It will be of interest to mosi persons in this portion of the state in connec tion wiih the culture of brook trout. It is a complete treatise upon this subject and we hope as many of our citizens as have tbe facilities will obtain the book and try tbe ex periment. The splendid trout that onee filled our brooks have almost entirely disappeared except in the mountain fastnesses. The book ii published by Porter aod Coates Philadel phia. and can be obtained at the INQCIKER Book Store. EDWARD MCPHERSOK, Clerk of the House, Washington, D. C., is actively engagt d upou the Life and Times of Thaddeus Stevens, for early publication, and will be glad to receive copies of letters of the deceased on political topics from 1828 to 1868, and any personal ifcidetiu illustrating any point in bis career, or any feature of bis character. Original let ters or other documents, if sent to him, will be returned after use. AN ACT to incorporate the Bedford and Bridgeport RaiiroaJ Company: See. 1. Be it enacted See.

How TO KILL A TOWN. —The Dubuque Herald gives the following receipt for knock mg a town stiff and dead; "If you wish to kill off a town, put up no more buildings than you are obliged to occupy yourself. If you should happen to have an empty building, and any one should want to rent it, ask about three times its actual value. Look at every new comer with a scowl. Turn a cold shoulder to every business man or mechanic seeking a home among you. Go abroad for wares rather than purchase of your own merchants or manufacturers at the same prices. Refuse to advertise, so that a person at a distance will not suppose any business is being done in your city. A prompt and eb>e observance of these rules will ruin any town in two years.

SCOTT COMPHEK, M. lb, aged 52. years, 4 months and 21 days. Deceased was the son of General William Compiler, who fur many years occupied a prominent position in both the civil and mili tary history of Bedford county. Dr Com pher received a thorough classical education, alter which he graduated at the medical school at Lexington. Ky., being awarded the highe-t honors. He practiced his profession, with great success, the field of his labors fre quently extending over the entire county. He was profoundly learned in medicat science, and Hi* judgment on critical points was al ways held in great respect by his professional brethren. In early lite he devoted much of his time to literary pursuits, and without pub lishing much of what he wrote, be was kmuvn and admired by a large circle of appreciating friends, as a scholar, a critic and a poet, lie was also prominent in the politics of this and neighboring counties. L'nlike the trimmers who so greatly control poliiica! affairs, he was constant to principle and deemed it a sa cred duty to cling to that, no matter what as sociates it brought him or what friends it di viaed from him. In this, as in the whole ten or of his life, was found the assurance of an honest man. About one year ago his health began to fail, arid he announced to his friends, with the calmness of one who d'd not fear to die. that be believed his end to be rapidly ap proachiog. He was attacked by the felt de stroyer. consumption, and as the dying year -lghed awav its last hours upon the bosom of the December wind, he fell peacefully asleep in the arms ot that serene and beautiful angel -ent to telieve hiin of a 1 hi- mo :,il pain, c-lositig his eyes in the blessed hope of a tirigbt immortality in the morning of the Res urreciion. He bade larewell to all earrhlv things, with these wind-, so expres-ive of the fact 'hat he had made his peace with God. (the last he ever uttered) '•Trusting in God through Christ."

A dressing which is atonee agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded ar gray hair t's soon restored to ite original color and the gloss and freehnee a of youth. Thin hair U thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of ten, though not always, cured ty its use. Noth- # ing can restore the hair where the fallacies are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for osefoiness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent thehair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor eaa only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer en the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by. DR. J. C.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adopted into use, in every country and among aii classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedv than any other. Those whohave used it, know that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friecds, and all know that what it does once it does al ways—that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of tho following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them ' Adapted to all ages and con ditions in all climates: containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drr g, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them" ever fresh and makes them pieasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on tho internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action —remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of dis ease. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly core: For Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Listiessness, Lan* goer and Loss of Appetite, they should betaken moderately to stimulate tho stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liter Complaint and its various symptoms, llil'ous Headache, Sick Headache. Jaundice or tireen Sickness, Bilious Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obs.ruc tions which cause it For Dysentery or Diarrhce, but one mild dose is generally rtquiied. For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation oj the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loir.s, they should be continuously takeu, as required, to change the diseased action of tbe system. With mch change these complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppressions a large dose shculd betaken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner PHI , take one or two PilD te pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the 83"stem. Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. " DR. J. C.
