it is as fine and good a color as when a boy.

SEVERE HAII. STORM. —On Thursday after

known for a long time. Hail fell in such
quantities that where they fell from the roofs
of buildings they accumulated to the depth of
nine or ten inches and iu places remained un
mehed until the next day. The hailstones
were small, and little or no damage was
done to the growing crops.

\S lthout a Good Digestion.
All other temporal blessings are compara
tively worthless. The dyspeptic millionaire
who has tried all the potions of the medical
profession in vain, aod believes his complaint
to be incurable, would give half bis fortune
so be freed from the horrors of indigestion,
and thus enabled to enjoy the other half. Of
course he would.
Perhaps HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TERS Las been recommended to such a
sufferer. Possibly he has turned from the
friend who made the suggestion with a sneer
intimating that he has no faith, in any "patent
medicine." If this has been the case. to
much the worse for him. His incredulity
dooms him to a life ol misery. All the
luxuries which wealth can" purchase are at
his command. Not one of them can give him
pleasure. His own irrational obstinacy is his
bane.
The masses, happily for themselves, are
less skeptical. There is such a thing as bigo
ted unbelief, as well as bigoted credulity, and
a golden mean between the two, which men
and women who are giited with common
sense adopt and profit by. These are the
class that patronize and recommend HOS
TETTER'S BITTERS. Why do they ap
: r.-vv t'.t . famous anti-dyspeptic and anti
bilious preparation ? Simply because they
nave not been too much the slaves of stnse
les- prejudice to give it a fair trial- and have
found that when ail other tonics, stimulants
and stomachics failed it produced the desired
effect.
"Strike, but hear," said the Roman sage
when his ignorant enemies were a-sailing
him. "Doubt but try," says the man who
has been cured of indigestion, or biliousness,
or intermittent fever, by the Bitters, as he re
his experience of the medicine to his in
valid friends. Whoever is so wedded to his
own foregone theoretical conclusions, as to
decline to test the properties of a medicine
endorsed by the testimony of intelligent men
in every waik of life, and approved by -the
people at large, dt erres to suffer. May 4tf

NEW AND GOOD BOOKS.
Having for four years past labored to improve
and enlarge the I.Nyi iati: and to so fill it with
the latest news that our people would have little
or no need of any other paper, we have found that
one of the chief difficulties in our way has been
that of getting a sufficient number of subscribers
to pay the expenses necessarily incurred in mak
ing a county paper what it ought to be. Though
the I>v iXR has a larger number of subscribers
than any other paper in the county, it still has
but little more than half what it ought to have to
justify ua in the cutlay necessary to keep it up
to ti.e standard at which we have steadily aimed.
The I.vqi inr.n will continue to be the exponent
and advocate of a thorough-going Republicanism,
and of retrenchment, economy and reform in the
administration ot the affairs of county, state and
nation. It will also, as usual, contain a larger
amount of late news and carefully selected gener
al reading matter than any other pajer in this
Congressional District.
An important p'. htkai campaign is jurt about
to b gia, involving the election of a Governor,
Supreme Judge, State Senator, Member of the
Leg.-iatare, and a full county ticket. The State
and li strict tickets are of the highest importance
as there will be a new apportionment made at the
next Session of the Legislature. With such an
imp r'.nt campaign before us, it is highly desira
ble to pat the Isvicinzr. in the hands of every
Republican in the county. We therefore call up
on our fr-.tnds to Leip us put it at once into the
hands of as many of our people as possible. As
a further inducement to exertion we have conclu
ded to offer the following desirable
PREMIUMS:
Tor •-•€ new subscriber and $2.00 in advance, we
will give one number of Scott's novels. 20 cent
edition.
Fur iw new subscribers and $4.00 in advance, we
will give oue number of Scott's novels, Jit cent
ed., and one number of Dickon's, 25 cent ed.
For three new subscribers and $6 00 is advance,
two N'os. of Scott and one So. ol Dickens.
For four new subscribers and $8.64 in advance,
one copy of "One Hundred Selections," bound
in cloth, or four Nos. Dickens
For five new subscribers and fIO.UO in advance,
five Nos. Dicken's works, , r one copy of Ten
nyson's or Burn's poems, worth $1.25.

DP.. WISHABrS PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL.
It is the vital principle of the Pin® Tree, ob
tained by a peculiar process in the distillation of
the tar, by which its highest medical properties
are retained.
It is the only safe-guard and reliable remedy
which has ever been prepared from the juice of
the Pine Tree.
It invigorates the digestive organ* and restores
the appetite.
It strengthens the debilitated system.
It purities and enriches the blood, and expelf
froDi the system the corruption which scrofula
breed* on the lungs.
It disolves the mucus or phlegm which stops
the air-pa-sage of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon the irritate 1
surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating to
each diseased part, relieving pain and subduing
infi&mation.
It is the result of years of stady and experi
ment, and it is offered to the afflicted, with the
positive assurance of its power to cure the follow
ing diseases, if tb. patient has not too long delay
ed a resort to the means of cure:—
Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sure Throat
and Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint, Blind
| and Bleeding Piles, Asthma, Whooping Cough,
