THE KEt.ISTKY LAW.
The new Registry Law passed by the last
Legislature will be found in full on our first
page. We hope every good citizen will
peruse it carefully and diligently endeavor
to comply with its requisition?. The purity
of the ballot box is the citadel of our Be
publican government and it behooves all
men to guard it with jealous care without
regard to party. Frauds may secure tran
sient victory to one party or the other but
will always result iu permanent injury not
only to the party practising them but
also to the whole country. No transient
party triumph can ever couqven-ate for the
damage done to public morals and the inja
ry sustained by the whole community by the
demoralization resulting from frauds. It
will be observed that spring elections are
abolished and borough and township officers
will hereafter be elected at the general elec
tion. This of itself will save one half of the
regular expense of elections in officers, fees
<kc. In addition half the time of the people
heretofore taken up in attending elections
will also be saved. The yeatly expense to
the whole people for holding elections will
by tbis one feature of the bill lie reduced
one half. For this at least the last Legisla
ture deserves the thanks of the people.
This is certainly a measure of retrenchment
as well as reform. The Democracy are just
now raising a dismal howl over this most
just and necessary law, but they too will
soon be obliged to acknowledge its justness
as well as its usef'ulne.-s. Tfeey no doubt al
ready see that the frauds by which they en
deavored to carry the State la.-t fall and by
a repetition of which, on an enlargid scale,
they expected to gain a victory the coming
fall, will be impossible. Rut they will,
doubtless find in the end that honesty is the
best policy, and though their nicely arrang
cd plans are frustrated, they will find many
wholesome lessons in the adversity of polit
ical defeat, which if properly improved may
fit them for better work when by a reform
in their morals and principles they shall
once more have gained the confidence of the
people. Until then, though the day may
be far off, we advise them to cultivate pa
tience. The people have a-ked aua they
will have a pure ballot box without regard
to the hypocritical whining of disappointed
tricksters and demagogues.
A SI'ECK or VV AH.
On Monday the 11th ' .it., the whole po
litical World was startled by the announce
ment that a trifle alliance had been formed
between England. France and Spain against
the United States. For a day or tv; spec
ulation was rife as to the probabilities of
immediate war. A lew days however suf
Seed to dispel the clouds that .-o suddenly
seemed to threat, a our peace. The clouds
Lave blown m and the probability of any
warlike demonstrations has apparently pass
ed away. It i 3 not yet definitely known
wnether the triple alliance is a reality or a
myth. But whether the one or the other.
England, France and Spain have found that
the news of their threatened demonstration
scareely caused a ripple in the affairs of the
I nited States. Gold fell one per cent., and
government securities rose one, on receipt
of the news, a most significant indication
that our people not only felt perfectly safe,
but that they also felt assured that in a
contest even with such a triple alliance the
United States had everything to gain and
nothing to lose. The spirit with which the
news was received here has no doubt sug
gestcd some new ideas to both John Bull
and Louis Napoleon. Instead of the alarm
which they, no doubt expected it to create,
they see the 1 lesident coolly continuing the
conversation, in which he was engaged when
the news was carried to him, and the peo
ple, in a very business like way, setting to
work to count the profit and advantage we
would gain in such a contest. Nothing
could have been better" calculated to curb the
arrogant spirit of British and French bra
vado than the coolness with which such
serious and highly important news was re
ceived. Senator Sumner s speech has cer
tainly opened the eyes of England to the
gravity of the situation in regard to the
Alabama claims. Though the United
Mates will not at present urge these claims,
if on account of our plain statement of the
case, England determines to resort to arms
when she has been beaten in argument,
much as we desire peace, we will have no
recourse, hut to accept the contest and ex
act by force the reparation that England re
fuses to grant when we have proven our
case in a fair argument. A war with these
three powers would be a calamity to all
Christendom, and the United States will
ou'y engage in it, when it becomes necessary
in self-defence. As our whole foreign poli
cy will be peaceable but firm, there is every
reason to hope that the peace of our own
country with all the world will be preserved
A cory of the General Laws passed by
the Legislature of Pennsylvania during the
lon of 1X69 is on our table for which
our member from this county J. H. LODJ
enecker Esq., will accept our thanks. Sev
enty-one general laws were passed, but the
number of special laws is legion. The gen
eral laws fill a pamphlet of 97 pages It, is
estimated that the special laws will make a
volume of fifteen hundred pages and the
book will be forth-coming some time next

t its continually increasing nuisance of spe
cial Legislation? It makes a sricvous
burthen to the people to publish them,
without taking into consideration, the
political corruption and demoralization to
which they give rise. Let us abate the
nuisance right speedily.

THE STATE SENATOBSHIP.
Our neighbor of the Fulton RepuMican,
two weeks ago, indulged in certain threats,
altogether unbecoming and uncalled for, on
the Senatorial question. As to the buying
and selling heretofore practiced, if anything
of that kind was done in the last Senatorial
nomination, it was the Bedford county can
didate that was sold out. A\'e then presen
ted a candidate for Senator, but in confer
ence the nomination was given to Somerset,
as also one member of the House, and the
and the other member was given to Fulton,
leaving Bedford entirely out in the cold.
As nearly as we can remember, Fulton
made no complaint at that. time. We never
thought of bolting or offering an indepen
dent candidate then, nor do we think that
Fulton will have any reasonable excuse for
anything of the kind now, if Bedford should
get the nomination. Let Fulton, like Bed
ford and Somerset, present candidates for
both Senator and Member and then let the
conferences select the best and most availa
ble men. This is the sensible way of set
tling the matter. We have nominated a
first-class man for Senator, and unless Ful
ton and Somerset present better men, Capt.
Mullin should have the nomination. We
believe in nominating the best men wherev
er found. It should be our first aim to get
the best men offered for any given position,
and make the question of locality a seconda
ry matter. We hope to see Fulton present
one of her best men for each place, and then
leave the conferences to complete the nomi
nations by combining the best material of
fered by the three eouniies and making us
the best possible ticket therefrom.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE HV THE
NATIONAL LIFE.
It i too late to talk of the importance of
ij/isuring one's life for the benefit of those
dependant upon biui. What was, some
years ago, accounted by many scrupulous
and doubting ones as "a tempting of Pro
vidence" has become the recognized duty,
as surely due to a man's family as the daily
labor for bread, clothes, and a home. The
number of new insurance companies which
are yearly started upon their course prove
the extent of the popular fealing in favor of
this beneficent provision. The two plans
upon which insurance is offered—the stock
and the Mutual—arc industriously presented
by their respective adherents, and the merits
of both fully discussed.
A significant indication of the popular
choice is found in the great success of the
National Life Insurance Company of
America, which began business in August
last, and has, since that time, been rapidly
extending its agencies throughout the coun
try, as well as in the Dominion of Canada.
Upon the first of May, only nine months
after its beginning work, the Company had
issued five thousand policies—a success un
precedented in the history of insurance.
This is a purely stock company, for which
there is this to say : that while it docs not
always make as glowing promises to the in
sured as some of the companies organized
upon the other plaD, it faithfully fulfills
every letter of the plain business contract
which it makes with its customers. It has
low rates for a certain fixed return: there
are no possible uncertainties of notes or
dividends, and no complications or dis
appointments at the death of the insured.
The simplicity of the system, and the
certainty of the position occupied, are recom
mendations too strong to be overlooked.
\\ e have spoken of the large business
already done by this Company. It has also
met with losses by death of the insured, but
the-e losses have been of such a character
and so promptly adjusted, that they have
strengthened the Company, where the
circumstances were known. Kcv. Lembert
S. Fine, a clergyman of Troy, Bradford Co.,
Pa., paid $100.25 on December Ist, 186?,
for a $5,000 policy. He died March sth,
Ino9, and on the It of April the $5,0(30,
with no deduction for notes) was paid to hi -
family, this being the only provision which
the deceased had been able to make for
their luture comfort. Could any other
possible investment of one hundred dollars
on his part have proved so judicious or
profitable? Another case was that pf Louis
11. Piagct, of Franklin, Pa., who insured
for ?1,00<3, and died six weeks thereafter.
In this case the prompt payment of the
sl,OllO enabled the agent to effect $29,000
more of insurance upon the appreciative
neighbors of the deceased.
Based upon ample financial capital—
£l,(WO,ooo paid up—conducted upon strict
business principles, and managed by men of
nitional reputation for 1 onesty and sagacity,
this Company justly deserves the front rank
it has taken in the insurance corps. The
advertisement of the local agent for the
National Life will lie found in another
column.
A RELIC OF UAKBAIUBM.
Twenty-three persons were publicly flog
ged at Newcastle, Delaware on the loth
imt., and three others pilloried for various
petty offences. For the accomplishment of
this very edifying performance a new whip
ping post and pillory had to be erected as
the old one- had become so dilapidated as
to be unequal to the emergency of the loth.
Delaware we believe is the only one of the
United States in which these relies of bar
barism have not been abolished. And
though, for the sake of our national reputa
tion, if from no higher motive, they have
for some years been besought by almost the
whole country to abolish these infamous
punishments, they seem joined to their idols
and instead of abolishing them they have
just been erecting new and substantial
posts and pillories. These things belong to
the age of the rock, thumbscrew breaking
on the wheel and other ingenious methods
of torture devised by the Spanish Inquisi
tion and have long ago been abolished in
every christian land, as inhuman and un
christian. It is to be hoped that they will
not much longer disgrace the.State of Dela
ware.

THE INDIANA CASE.
1. A majority iu either branch of the
Legislature of Indiana is Republican.
2. That majority decided and have voted
to ratify the XVth Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution.
3. The Constitution of Indiana requires
the presence of two-thirds of the members
elected to either House to constitute a quor
um for the transaction of business.
4. The Democratic minority of the Senate,
seeing no other way to defeat the ratification,
with the exception of two or three who repre
sented doubtful districts, resigned, thus
breaking the quorum. Those who resigned
were re-elected with little or no opposition.
5. The Legislature, which the resignation
had suddenly broken up, was now recon
stituted —the Democratic minority refusing
to come in till it had been stipulated by the
Republicans that the XVth Amendment
should not be acted on till a specified day,
before which all other business could be
finished. This engagement was kept.
6. Now the Amendment was taken up
again, and the Democratic members, with
one or two exceptions in each branch, there
upon proffered resignations, intending to
break the quorum,
7. In the Senate, the Democratic members
kept on voting until the Constitutional
Amendment came up, and acted as if they
had precisely the same rights as other mem
bers. The moment the Amendment was
reached they raised the point of order that
no quorum was present, nearly all of them
having resigned. The presiding officer ruled
that, as no official notice of their resignation
hud been received, and as they bad continued
acting as members, he must treat them as
-uch. Their theory of action was like that
of the hunter who aimed at the animal in
the distance so as to hit it if it was a deer
and to miss it if it was a calf. This ingenious
theory was not accepted, and the Amend
ment, on receiving the due majority, was
sent to the other branch.
8. In the House the Governor's message,
announcing the resignation of forty-two of
its members, was received before the j
Ameudnient came up. One of the remain
ing Democrats raised the point of order that
this left the body without a Constitutional
quorum. The Speaker ruled that while,
under the State requirements, 67 members
were necessary for a quorum to do business,
this was a measure sent from Congress, con
cerning the National Government, and that
nothing required more than a majority to
constitute a quorum for dealing with it.
Appeal was taken, the Chair was sustained,
and then, 54 members, (more than a majori
ty.) being present, the amendment was rati
fied.
Hereupon,
0. The proper officers will doubtless cor
tifiv, if they have not already certified, the
fact of ratification, leaving its validity to be
adjudged by the Federal Secretary of State
or by Congress.
Such, stated succinctly, are the facts in
the Indiana case. — New York Tribune.
THE FItEE TRADERS.
The people of Pennsylvania are nearly all
devoted to the doctrine of protection to
American industry. They knew that in
every case in which this protection has been
withdrawn, it has been under Democratic
ascendency in the White House and in Con
gress. They know that the old ralljing cry
of the Democracy, "Polk, Dallas and the
Tariff of "42" was a deception; for when
Polk and Dallas were elected, the Tariff of
'42 was repealed, and the destructive tariff
of 1840 was adopted, Dallas himself giving
the casting vote in its favor as Vice-Presi
dent. The Free Traders are now renewing
their war upon protection with great vigor,
and they arc boldly carrying the war into
Pennsylvania, with a candor that is centain
iy more creditable than was the trickery of
1 A Free trade meeting was held in
this city last week, at which an orator from
another State appeared, whose speech has
been very fully reported in the Demoeratic
local organ. This report is now going the
rounds of the papers of the same party in
the interior of the State, and it is quite evi
dent that the printing is paid for by the
fun is of the Free Trade League. This
League has its headquarters in New York,
the rich importers being the chief members.
These are mostly representatives of British,
Ireneh and German manufacturers, who
contribute largely to the funds of the League,
because by breaking down protection in this
country, they will be enabled to flood this
country with their goods made by the cheap
labor of Europe, and to destroy all Ameri
can manufactures. The people of Pennsyl
vania must be on their guard, and not be
deceived by the specious fallacies of the
Free Traders, which, if they once prevail,
will bring widespread distress throughout
the State. The safe course to pursue is to
cling to the Bepublican party, which com
prises all the earnest and efficient friends of
protection in the S Utc.—Philadelphia

HARBISBUBG, May 13.—Judge Pearson
this morning, sitting in the Court of Com
mon Pleas, decided two suits of general in
terest The eases were against the Dela
ware, Laekawana and Western Railroad
Company, and the Laekawana and Blooms

companies was that their bonds, on which
tax was imposed, were mostly held by resi
dents of New York and other States, and
that Pennsylvania could not tax the proper
ty of citizens of other States. The Court
decided that, if the property was protected
by Pennsylvania, it could "be made to pay
its chare of taxation. Judgment was ren

REPORTS OP CUBAN BATTLES.
The account of the battle, alleged to have
taken place between the Spanish forces and
the insurgents in Cuba, is not credited here.
Notwithstanding the battle is said to have
taken place some two weeks ago, neither
our Government nor the Spanish Sliuister
have received anytbiug respecting it.
THE CUBANS ELATED.
The Cubans here are highly elutcd over
the news received yesterday, and say that
in a short time this country will have such
news from Cuba as will satisfy the most
credulous that the insurrection is not dying
out, as reported, or that the Spanish forces
are having their own way. Prominent
Americans, including such men as General
Batiks, feel confident that the independence
of Cuba will be obtained before the close of
the present year, unless our Government
extends direct aid to the Spanish authori
ties, which is not at all likely to be done.
They complain that Secretary Fish is influ
enced too much by the Spanish Minister,
and does not act as though he were an
American Secretary of State. In fact,
there is much talk about Secretary Fiji's
official actions, and they are severely criti
cised, but mostly by those who express
spmpathy and partisanship for the Cuban
insurgents.
THE REPORTED TRIPLE ALLIANCE
was talked over in the Cabinet yesterday, in
connection with Matley's instructions, and
it is understood that it was decided not to
make any change in his instructions from
what was originally determined on. Secrc
tary Fish is not for making them on the
basis oWuuiner'a speech. He will be left
pretty free in his action, and will be con
trolled somewhat by events.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE LUTHERANS.
About two hundred Lutheran ministers
paid their respects to President Grant this
morning. They were received in the East
Room. The President on entering was
greeted with applause, when the Rev. Dr.
Roblmam, of New York, addressed him as
follows: It is not unusual for ecclesiastical
bodies, holding their sessions at the capital
of the nation, to desire to pay their respects
to the honored Chief Magistrate, hut the
custom of boring him with long speeches,
is, in my opinion, "more honored in the
breach than in the observance." 1 shall
therefore content myself with merely intro
ducing these members of the General Syn-
and then follow the example of the ilius
traious chief who said "Let us have peace,"
and so I shall say, "Let us have peace."
iou see before you the representative- of
the General Synod of the Evangelical Lu
theran Church in the United States. They
are the representatives of twenty two Syn
ods, and from various parts of the Union.
They arc not, however, representatives of
the whole body of Lutherans in the country.
There are large bodies of Lutherans in the
South yet unreconstructed; others in the
iar West, not Americanized, and there are
some in the Middle States who, unfortu
nately, arc not with us to-day, but all are
true and loyal men. I trust the day will
come when the entire Lutheran Church
wiil be in the unity of the spirit and the
bonds of peace. I wish, sir, I could relieve
you lrom the labor of shaking hands, and do
it by proxy. If you would give me a hearty
shake of the hand, and then I shake hands
with all my brethren here perhaps they
would be suti.-fied.
To this there was a general response,
"No! No! we want to shake hands with
him. ' The President then said to Dr.
Pohlman, General Kakin and Rev. Dr.
Butler, that he would shake hands with
theui individually. The ministers then sep
arately approached tie President, and were
introduced and shaken by the band. The
President, when the c?remony was over, en
tered into conversation for a few minutes
with a few that remained.

A New European Alliance.
The Cuban Question —The Alabama Claims
—-Snglaml and France to unite with
Spain for offense and defense against the
United States.
LONDON, May 11.—Initial steps have
been taken for an alliance, offensive and de
fensive, between England, Eiance, and
spain again-t the United States—the reioc
tion of the Alabama treaty, the tone of Mr.
Sumner's speech, the alleged filibustering
tendencies of Gen. Grant's Administration,
and the reported connivance at expeditions
from the Lnited States against Cuba, being
made the pretexts for a necessity for such
alliances.
LONDON, May 11. — The Horning Stand
ard (Conservative organ), to-day lias a
leading article on the Alabama question,
and the speech of Senator Sumner in the
1 liited States Senate in opposition to that
measure. Hie writer reviews the relative
position of the United State- and Great
Britain, and asserts that the raids and other
outrages perpetrated by American Fenians
in Canada during the past few years more
than overbalanced the depredations com
mitted by the Alabama or American com
merce. The Government of Great Britain
in consenting to submit the mutual inter
national grievances to arbitration, did more
than could be fairly demanded, and to yield
lurther would be an act of cowardice and
irreparable degradation.
THE triple alliance story is effectually ex
ploded. No representative of this or any
other Government in Washington credits
the statement, and if it has any foundation
it is believed to exist simply in a proposi
tion made by Spain to France and England,
to form an alliance to re-fist the so-called
aggression of the United States towards
Cuba. A proposition of tbat kind, so far,
is known to havry been considered in Lon
don. So far as England and Spain are con
cerned, notwithstanding the Cuban filibus
tering expeditions, the feeling between this
country and Spain is much more cordial, and
far better understanding cxi*ts between us
internationally, than between Great Britain
and Spain. England has very recently made
the strongest remonstrances which can fie
made, short of a declaration of war, to Spain
against the seizure of one of her corvettes
and crew, in British waters and on British
territory. 'The Mart/ In/well ease has been
dexterously thrown on English responsibili
ty by our Secretary of State. The United
States and Spain are at the present time on
better and closer relaliom than they have
been in many years. Mr. Roberts, the
Spanish Minister to this country, has ex
pressed no official dissatisfaction at the
course of the United States, so far as Cuba
is concerned, and is perfectly satisfied that
the Administration, however, indivinually,
it may sympathize with the Cuban cause!
will do nothing derogatory to the honor of
the United States as a member of the family
of nations. Our neutrality laws, which are
the strictest of any nation in the world,
have been and will be rigidly enforced.

Official Despatches—Estimated Force of the
Cuban Armg—A Fair Statement of the
Situation.
WASHINGTON, May 13.—Latest official
despatches received at the State Department
from the American Consul at Havana state
that it is almost impossible to arrive at a
correct estimate of the force under the Cuban
leaders. The Consul encloses a letter from a
prominent Americau merchant, residing in
the interior, who estimates the whole Cuban
army at from fifteen to twenty thousand
men.
1 his includes detached parties acting as
guerillas, as well as regular forces. Another
letter enclosed by the Consul from another
American merchant states that the entire
effective force ot the Cubans does not
amount to more than fourteen hundred men.
\\ ith regard to these two statements the
Consul writes, "The truth probably lies be
tween these two extremes."
"I do not think the Cuban army amounts
to twenty-five thousand men, but it is cer
tainly more than fourteen hundred." In an
other part of his despatch our Consul says:
"from all that can he ascertained, there is
not a Cuban man, woman or child on the
island who does not sympathize with the in
surrection; some of them more openly than
others, but they are all animated with bitter
hate towards Sapin. This is the most hope
ful sign of the Cuban cause, and if the in-
able to hold out six months
longer, Spain will be compelled to abandon
the attempt to subdue them."

called up, and a vote taken, although the
Democratic members of the Senate present
announced that they had orit their resigna
tions to the Governor. This morning the
Lieutenant Governor ruled that the Senate
had no official information of their resigna
tion, and declared the Amendment ratified
by a vote of twenty seven ayes to one nay,
eleven Senators present not voting. It is
thought the Republican members of tbe
House will vote on the Amendment to-mor
row moraine and then adjourn.
The Craves or English Heroes.
t The reverent care taken of the remains of
the soldiers who fell during the 'rebelion of
the United States has recently been cited
with high commendation in England. The
visit of the Prince of \\ bales to the Crimea
has revealed the fact that the graves of Eng
lish soldiers arc in a shameful condition,
and that the unhuried bodies of many others
are "Jyitjg broadcast over the land." The
remains of the trench and Russian have
been collected in carefully tended cemeteries,
but no more regard is paid to the dead Eng
lish soldiers than if they were so many ani
mals. '1 he English newspapers are drawing
unfavorable comparison- between the con
duct of the English aud United States Gov
ernments, and insist that even at this lato
day the bodies of the English soldiers should
be collected in one large cemetry, and that
head-boards and other means of identifica
tion should be placed over the graves. If
the English Government refuses to under
take the work, the English people are urged
to rai.-e by private subscription the necessa
ry funds for removing the "national dis
grace."
Mexican Affairs.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.—Late Mexi
can advices say a vigorous campaign is be
ing carried on by the citizens against the
robbers and kidnappers in the Stutes of
Jalisco and Miehoaean. Numerous engage
ments have taken place, in which the rob
bers were worsted, and had many killed.
1 he revolution in Kinuloa is assuming a seri
ous aspect. Palacio had captured the town
ol Klfuerte, and established his headquar
ters there. The government troops offered
but slight resistance. Three hundred troops
from Sonora joined Salacio at Eli'uert '.
The A| •ache Indians who were driven from
Arizona are making terrible Inroads iu Sono
ra, devastating the whole frontier.
Reports from Chihuahua and Neuva Le
on are equally alarming in regard to Indian
depredations. It is estimated that these
frontier States have already lost one-third
of their population by the incursions of the
savages, and unless the matter is speedily
attended to, will soon be depopulated.
From Spain.
MADRID, May 15.—Tiie Cortes ha- re
jected an amendment to the c institution in
favor of making .-'pain a federal republic.
The vote stood 1-2 against 64. A pro
position for a triennial directory, to be ap
pointed by the Cortes, has been introduced,
and is now under consideration.
MADRID, May 16.—The Cortes yesterday,
after a long debate, rejected the proposition
for a triennial directory, and it is now con
fidently believed that a regen cv will be
created, with Serrano at its head. Several
members of the eivil guard have been ar
rested on charges at present unknown.
Trouble has arisen with the volunteers for
Cifba, in consequence of the non-payment of
their bounties,

He left Sacramento last Thursday, exhaust
ed thirty six hours in going to Salt J.ake

A REMARKABLY TOUGH STORY.— I The
Adrian, Mich., 'l imes is responsible for the
following tough yarn, which it declares to
be well vouched for :
A young man named George Denslow,
aged 21 year?, and living two miies north
west of Hone Centre, went to bed upon the
night of March 13th, in his usual good
health. While sleeping, he dreamed that
he was deaf and dumb, and upon waking he
was horrified to find that he was totally un
able to speak or to hear. Since then, until
the evening of the 4-th inst., he has been ab
solutely and totally deal'and dumb.
About C o'clock on the evening of the 4th,
he was returning from the field where his
father. William Denslow, was ploughing,
when lie experienced an odd feeling coming
over him. and was obliged to lean upon the
fence for support. Soon he thought he
heard a bird ?ing, and upon looking around
he saw the bird, and then he knew bis sense
of hearing had returned.
He hastened to the house, and as he en
tered the room his mother was in the act of
pushing the table across the room, and he
says the noise occasioned was the biggest
noise he ever heard. lie found also that
his speech had returned, and in his great
joy be told bis mother the facts of his recov
ery. The young man has enjoyed extraor
dinary good health during his fifty-three
days of silence.
THE SOUTH. —As an inducement to emi
gration from the North to the Southern
States it is announced that land in that
region, adapted to the cultivation of the
grains, vegetables and fruits of the tem
perate zone, may be purchased on reasona
ble terms, and that with part cash, lons
credits for the remaining installments will
be given. Farms already cleared and
drained are. it is stated, now offered from
one-quarter to one twentieth of what they
brought before the war. It has been
suggested that the money merely required
to convey a family to the Northwest or
Pacific would purcba-e a farm of three or
four hundred acres of land in Virginia.
RIGHTLY SERVED.— The potato specula
tors of the Wert are reported to be suffer in#
from their attempts to obtain extravagant
prices by holding back their crops. The
Michigan papers assert that the farmers in
that State arc obliged to sell for 15 cents a
bushel potatoes for which last fall they re
fused $1 50. At White Pigeon, Michigan,
for several weeks 3,000 bushels a day have
been shipped East, and it is estimated that
over 75,000 bushels still remain unsold in
that vicinity. '1 lie same condition of affairs
is reported to exist in other Western States.
STEEL RAILS. —Steel rails, it is reported,
are to to laid on the entire length of the
railroad from Pari.- to Marseilles. The
change from iron to steel will require 137,-
000 tonsi of steel. From experiments made
by the Company, it has becu calculated
that in the vicinity of the stations iron
rails will not last over four years, and on
the whole line not over eight or ten years.
Ihe steel rails, it is believed, will last
thirty or forty years. The bridges are
also to be constructed of steel as soon as
iron ores suited to the manufacture can be
obtained in sufficient quantity.
GETTYSBURG DEDICATION. —It is ex
pected that the dedication of the soldiers'
national monument at Gettysburg next
•July will be a laige and imposing demon
stration. Every State of the Union, it is
said, wdl be represented—the South as
well as the North. Senator Monroe, of In
diana, is to deliver the address; Mr.
Beecher to offer up a prayer, and Bavard
Taylor to write an ode. President Grant,
General W. I'. Sherman. General Meade!
General McClellan, and a great number of
officers and soldiers will be present.
WARNING TO MOTHERS.—An exchange
warn.- the mothers and nurses against the
too prevalent practice of drawing little
children around the streets backward. It
has been known to produce insanity. Wo
make a note of it because we ofteii meet
with such instances in our walks about
town. If you value the health and com
fort of your little ones, get thetu a carriage
in which they can ride naturally and en
joy it.

Y KL! 8 CATHARTIC PILLS,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was
ever any before so universally adopted into use,
it) every country and among all classes, as this
mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious
reason is, that it i- a more reliable and far more
effectual remedy than any other. Those whohave
used it, know that it cured them: those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it does al
ways—that it never fails through any fault or
neglect of its composition. WC have thousands
upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable
cures of the 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 drug, they may be taken with
safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,
while being purely vegetable co harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
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,
uch derangements as are Ihe first origin of dis
sase.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, wbicli these
Pills rapidly euro:
For Dyspepsia or Indigtstion, l.istlcssncss, Lan
guor and Lots of Appetite, they should bo taken
moderately to stimuli- to the stomach aud restore
its' healthy tone and action.
For Lirrr Complaint and its various symptoms,
Bilious Headache, Sick Headache, Jaundice or
Green Sickness, Itilious Colic and llilious Fevers,
they should be judiciously taken for each case, to
correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc
tions which cause it
For Dysentery or Diurrhce, but one mild dose
is generally required.
For Hheumatism, Gout, Grovel, Palpitation of
the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins, they
should he continuously takeu, as required, to
change the diseased action of the system. With
such change these complaints disappear.
For Dropsy aDd Dropsical Swelling* they should
he taken in large and frequent doses to produce
the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppressions a large dose should he taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates tho system. 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 aud renovating effect on
the digestive apparatus.
