WE always feel an interest in the welfare of
the ladies, and are pained to see so many

resented to be the same. Obtain only
"Brown's Bronchail Troches."
BORNEO OCT. —We regret to learn that the
office of the Fulton Democrat, in McConnels
burg, was entirely destroyed by fire on the
morning of the 23rd insf The fi r e is sup
posed to have originated from a pile of ashes
under the office. Almost everything was
burnt. The forms were on the press, almost
ready to go to work, and went down with the
press. The proprietor, Smith Robinson, has
our sincere sympathy in his loss. Although
be prints wretchedly bad politics, he is a
clever fellow, and we hope he. may soon get
his office re fitted.— Star and Sentinel.
AYES A AMERICAS* ALMANAC, for the new
year, has arrived for delivery gratis by
to all who call for it. This little annual has
the largest circulation of any book in the
world, made by the fact that it furnishes the
best medical advice which is available to the
people—enables them to determine what 1
their complaints are and how to cure them.
It contains the startling announcement of the
conflagration of a world, or the combustion
of one of the stars in the firmament with all
its attendant planets.

J IT is estimated that seven-tenths of all
adult ailments proceed from a diseased and
torpid liver. The biliary secretions of the
liver overflowing into the stomach, poison the
entire system, and exhibit tbe above symp
toms. After a long re search, we are able to
present the most remarkable cure for these
horrid nightmare of diseases the world has
ever produced. Within one year over six
hundred and forty thousand persons have
taken PLANTATION BITTERS, and not an iu
stai.ee of complaint has come to our knowl- j
edge. It is the most effectual tonic and
agreeable stimulant, suited to all conditions j
of life. Inquire of your Druggists in regard!
to it.
SAB3ATII SCHOOLS. —On Friday Evening I
Dec. 24th, the Lutheran Sabbath School held i
a Jnbilee in the church, and an address was j
delivered by J. A. Tomlinson.
On Sabbath afternoon, the M. E. Sabbath I
School held a Jubilee in their church, the
exercises consisting of singing, speeches, !
recitations, readings und dialogues by the ;
younger children, very appropriate to the j
occasion. On Wednesday evening following, ;
the school gave an ice cream and oyster festi j
va! in the "little brick schoolhouse'' on Pitt
St., and realized a handsome sum
which we believe is to be appropriated to re- 1
pienishing the library.
SHALL oca COMMUNICATION BE err OFF'; —
The turnpike bridge at the narrows is not yet
begun though we had the promise that it
would ba finished by the first of January. It
was somewhat delayed by a disappointment J
in the delivery of lumber to tbe contractors, \
but we bardiy think that it should have j
made so great a delay. The road by the I
Dunniugs creek bridge is now almost impas
sible and tbe bridge itself will scarcely eu
dure the travel and heavy hauling that passes
over it continually, until Spring; in fact we
would not be surprised to hear of it breaking
down at any time. We Lope the turnpike
company will push forward their bridge with
the utmost dispatch as our communication j
with the outside world may be suddenly cut off
at any time.
Nov LI. AND INTERESTING INVENTION. — A i
new Educational Invention, —* Eastman's
Penman's Assistant," —is now creating no
little sensation among Pupils, Educators and
Business Writers. It has been used in the
Penmanship Department of Eastman College
for some time, and although recently given
to the public it is meeting with an unpre j
cedenteu sale. It is a novel, beautiful ■
instrument, so constructed as to change the i
stiff cramped hand of an adult into an easy
flowing one, and compels the pupil to acquire
at once correct habits of position, movement,
Ac., thus lessening the labor of teacher, and
saving years of severe application to the
pupil. It is an admirable Holiday Present,
and is sold in a case, complete, for $1.50.
Agents for its introduction and sale are
wanted. Circulars describing the invention
may be had by addressing Prof. EASTMAN, i
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
THE HOLlDAYS. —Christmas was duly oh- I
served by the citizens of our town. All stores i
and business houses were closed. Tbe wel
come dinners and festivities iucident to tbe
day were generally indulged in. As sleigh
ing was pretty good, every rig in town was
oot, keeping up a continuous jingle of tbe
merry bells from morning till late at night.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Silver
Cornet Band, mounted on a sled drawn by a
span of spirited animals, entered the field,
and discoursed some of their best music, as
they passed through the principal streets.
As they had not been out for some time, their
appearance created quite a stir, showing that
their music and their endeavors to make a
merry Christmas were fuily appreciated.
New Year's dav was not kept as a holiday,
though we have heard of a number of mon
strous turkeys tbat were consumed in our
vicinity. The Bedford fantaatics were out on
dress parade, mounted, and made several
tours through the streets, creating quite an
excitement for the time. After their exit,
business was the word.
DRTY TO CREDITORS.—A merchant is not
honest if he endangers the loss of an smount
of property, which, if lost by tire, or other
wise, would disable him from paying his
debts. It is unjust not to insure. Perhaps
the majority of uninsured traders, if their
homes and goods were burnt, wculd be una
ble to pay their creditors. The injustice con
sists. not in the actual loss which may be in
flicted, but in endangering the infliction of
the loss. There are but two ways in which,
under such circumstances, the claims of rec
titude can be satisfied: one is by insuring the
property, and the other by telling its actual
owner that it will be endangered, and leaving
him to incur the risk—or not, as he pleases.
If such is the value of insurance what must
be the character of the company? For this
reason insure in a company like the MTXA of
Hartford, Connecticut, which has over srvs
MILLION'S DOLLARS capital. Small companies
invariably fail. Ont of the thousands ol
companies in the country, not fifty are over
twenty years of age—all the rest have failed.
Then go to the which has stood lor
fifty years and is stronger to-day than ever.

LITERARY. —We are informed by a friend,
that the young men of South SVoodberry twp.
organized a debating club in Pattonsville on
Friday evening last, and elected tbe follow
ing corps of officers: President, J. B. Fluck;
\ . President, D. B. Armstrong; Secretary,
•I. S. Biddle, and Treasurer, J. B. Butts.
Tbe question, "Resolved that the United
States should recognize the icdcpender.ee of
Cuba, was discussed in the affirmative by
Messrs. Dittmer, Armstrong, Riddle, Boner
and Carpenter, and in the negative by Messrs*
Huck, Zook, Butts and Lingenfelter,. De
cision in favor of affirmative. The question
for discussion this, Friday, eveuing is, "Re
solved that women should have the right to
vote." All persons interested in the cause
of education are respectfully invited to attend.
We are very glad indeed to see this move
in South Woodberry. She has always been
blessed with health and wealth, and to her
honor, has always taken a firm stand in favor
of education, and we have no doubt but that i
it will meet with entire success.
AN ITEM FOR PARENTS, YOUNG MEN AND
1 BOYS.— Prof. Eastman, the founder of the
| celebrated Business College at Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., offers superior advantages to those
who attend his Institution this winter or the
coming year. He positively assertß that he
will make the timeand money spent there the
best investment of their lives. He proposes
to prove this (to all who will address him for
the College Directory.) and also to convince
them that bis original and pre eminent Course
of Practical Training is the best ever devised
for those preparing for active, successful life;
and his efforts the most effective in providing
situations for graduates. The short prescri
bed Course can be completed in three months, I
at a total expense for board and tuition fee of
one hundred dollars. Full information can
be had by addressing 11. G. EASTMAN, LL. IX.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
| ONCE MORE. —As tbe City Fathers seem to
be hibernating, we feel disposed to make a
last appeal to our citizens. Our pavements
during holiday week, especially during tbe
rain, were in such a condition, that
no one, unless protected by gum boots
aud prepared to wade, had any business
to venture upon tbe streets. We bve ap
pealed to the City Fathers to abate the nui
sance of sloppy, slush-and-snow covered
pavements, but in vain ; they are either of
fenders against the law of cleanliness them
selves or too indifferent to the good name
and general health of the town to interfere.
Now we appeal to the citizens. There is per
haps no better criterion of the general char
acter of the occupants of a house than the
appuarance of the front yard and pavements,
aud if we wish to preserve our reputation of
a neat and tidy people it is high time to go
to work and clean off snow, ice and slush.
In front of half the houses in town the snow
and ice lie until they melt away, and every
passer by runs the risk of breaking his neck
in cold weather, or catching his death of cold
from wet feet in soft weather. It is a
mailer of great consequence to all. It in
volves the health of the whole community
and the reputation of our town for general
cleanliness and neatness. If every one will
just muster enough industry to keep his own
pavement decently clean, we can manage tbe
whole matter independent of our hibernating
council.

Every Saturday begins the new year with a
change; from its former plainness it now as
pires to become the first of Illustrated Amer
ican Journals and in this it will at once be a
formidable rival of the Harper illustrated
publications. What Field & Osgood under
take to do they always do well ; accordinely
we find the initial number of Every Saturday,
the size of Harper's weekly, with three full
page illustrations. We confess that we are
partial to the old form of Every Saturday as
more convenient in size and more literary in
appearance. As it is changed, we accept the
change, confident that Fields & Osgood will
make and keep it the leading illustrated liter
ary magazine of the country and hoping to
learn to like it as well in its new dress as we
did in its old. Fields & Osgood, Boston,

Let Common Sense Decide.
What ia the rational mode of procedure in
cases of general debility and nervous pros
tration? Does not reason tell us that judicious
stimulation is required. To resort to violent
purgation in such a ease is as absurd as it
would be to bleed a starving man. Yet it is
' done every day. Yes, this stupid and un
philosophical practice is continued in the
teeth of the great fact that physical weakness,
with all the nervous disturbances that ac
i company it. is more certainly and rapidly re
lieved by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than
by any other medicine at present known. It
>s true that general debility is often attended
with torpidity or irregularity of the bowels,
and that this symptom must not be over
; looked. But while the discharge of the waste
matter of the system is expedited or regu
lated, its rigor must be recniiled. The Bit
ters do both. They combine aperient and
anti-bilious properties, with extraordinary
! tonic power. Even while removing ob
strut-lions from tbe bowels, tbev tons and in
vigorate those organs. Through tbe stomach,
upon which the great vegetable specific acts
directly, it gives a healthy and permanent im
petus to every enfeebled function. Digestion
is facilitated, the faltering circulation regu
lated, the blood reinforced with a new acces
sion of tbe alimentary principle, the nerves
braced, and all the dormant powers of the
system roused into healthy action; not
spasmodically, as would be tbe case if a mere
stimulant were administered, but for a con
tinuance. It is in this way that such ex
traordinary changes are wrought in tbe con
dition of the feeble, emaciated and nervous
invalids by tbe use of this wonderful cor
rective, alterative and tonic. Let common
sense decide between such a preparation and
a prostrating cathartic supplemented by a
poisonous astringent like strychnine or qui
ilia.

some heavy blows at the so-called re
formers of the present day. lie show
ed clearly that woman in order to
properly fill her sphere in life, should
be specially educated for that sphere.
That standing firm by the Bible truths,
she cannot, she dare not take Elizabeth
Cady Stanton as her type of a true wo
man. He further argued that wher
ever a teacher found under his care
natural talents for special branches of
study, he should give such the high
est training. In short, he believed in
the true woman living, loving and ever
abiding in the sphere marked out for
her by her Creator. Throughout the

ence as one man ; thus showing the in
terest all took in the discourse.

Sec'v.
i 1 congratulate the teachers who were
present with us during this session of
the County Institute. We have not
been disappointed. In point of num
ber enrolled ; regularity of attendance,
and willingness on the part of our
teachers to work whenever called up
on. our meetings have been the most
successful ever held in the county. Not
a single teacher, placed on duty by the
cominitteeon programme,failed. With
but few exceptions, all were present at
roll call and remained in session until
the hour for adjourning, thus showing
their interest in the work.
Twenty out of the twenty-seven dis
tricts in the county, were represented.
Of these, Bedford Bor., Bedford tp.,
Broad Top, Colerain, Coaldale, Liber
ty, St. Clairsviile, Snake Spring and
Saston, had all their teachers present.
Some had their time allowed them;
others who were In attendance the
whole week were not allowed a single
day. We would here again repeat,
what lias been embodied in a resolu
tion, that all directors who had their
teachers here in convention, should
grant them the number of days pres
ent. The roll has been carefully pre
pared, and the attendance accurately
kept, so that directors may know the
exact number of days each one attend
ed. We feel sure that some good must
result to the schools through this con
vention, and it is not asking too much
when we call upon directors to reward
their teachers for time spent here in
further preparation for the work in the
school room.
The essays, orations and lectures pre
pared by the teachers showed marked
improvement over those of previous
years. Among others, we recall with
pleasure the oration, on the theme:
"Stand like the Anvil," by our talen
ted young townsman, John 11. Jordan.
For force of diction and for true merit,
the production had no superior on the
programme. The young orator warm
ing with his subject, grew at times,
truly eloquent. We predict for him in
his newly chosen profession a brilliant
future.
In conclusion, we return thanks to
all parties who labored with us during
the past week. H. W. FISHER,
Co. Supt.

KIM> I'ai roxs :
AH bail! once mora the Carrier Boy
Attunes his harp to gong ;
May each vibrating chord be strikes
The dulcet strain prolong:
He comes with gladness in his steps,
And skips along the way
To wish his patrons, one and all,
A Happy New-Year's Day!
'TiB just a year ago, to-day,
Since we together met;
Our hearts were happy then, as now,
O'er cares we did not fret,
So let us on this joyous morn,
Be equally as gay—
Then here's to patrons, one and all,
A Happy New-Year's Day!
The year just closed auspicious was,
Abundance crowned its flight;
The waving grain, the tempting fruits
Met everywhere the sight:
The plenteous board ; abounding health
Have blessed us all the way—
So here's to patrons, one aud all,
A Happy New-Year's Day!
: 'Tis true we've bad some things to mar
The pleasures we have had,
But the cup of lite is ever mixed
With good things and with bad :
Our streets have been in horrid plight:
Our hydrants dry, they say.
But notwithstanding a!i of this —
Here's a Happy New-Year's Day !
'Tis queer that whiist we've waded mud,
And soiled our dainty (?) feet,
That water! water! is the cry
Be echoed on the street.
Strange anomaly! we re icel; we're dry,
But still we will be gay,
So here's to patrons, one and all,
A Happy New-Year's Day !
Oh City Fathers ! where are ye?
Where do you hide your faces?
Can you rest easy when such things
Your native town disgraces?
Gird up yonr loins! and go to work,
And for you we'll ever pray,
And gladly shout for one and all,
A Happy New-Year's Day !
Again, we've had some "broken banks!"
In money quite a smash,
But 'midst the din dissolving them
We have withstood the crash ;
To some, perhaps, 'tis dreadful quite :
To some it does not "pay"—
But here's again, to one and all,
A Happy New-Year's Day!
So much for local matters—let us turn
To affairs about the nation,
Or things in general "turning up"
Within this broad creation.
The " boundless Universe" we grasp;
There's nothing in the way—
So here's again to patrons all,
A Happy New-Year's Day !
The President's Message—what of it?
'Tis sound as well as terse
'Tis first rate —ab'e —excellent!
But would scarcely suit for verse :
He talks of things affecting us
As a Statesman only may,
Then here's to Grant—to patrons all,
A Happy New Year's Day !
Of Cuba now I'll say a word-
Most nobly has she fought:
We hope she'll get " beiligereut rights "
As certainly she ought:
The Spanish yoke she's thrown off,
And from her cast away—
Then here's for struggling Cuba
A Happy New-Year's Day !
In Utah there is something up :
Old Brigbam, the old cuss,
'Tis shrewdly thought, is fully beut
On " kicking up a muss, "
But if he does we'll thrash him well,
And take his wives away —
But here's to Brig and all his " frows "
A Happy New-Year's Day !
But here I'll wind this medley up
Lest I your patience tire :
I hope that you, in reading it,
Have seen much to admire ;
And I will feel much gratitude
If you'll fork o'er some pay,
And in Stentorian tones I'll shout,
A Happy New-Year's Day!

A VER S CATHARTIC PILLS.
XX FUR PURIFYING THE BLOOD,
Perhaps no one medicine is -o universally re
quired by everybody as cathartic, nor was ever
anv befiire so universally adoptod into use. in
every country and among all classes, as this mild
but efficient purgative PTLL. The obvious rea
son is, that it is a more reliable and far more ef
fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured tbem ; those who have
rot, know that it cures their neighbors and friende,
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 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 calo
mel or anv deleterious drug, they may be taken
with safety by anybody. Then sugar coating
preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleas
act to late, while being purely vegetable no harm
can rise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viseera to purify the blood and stimu
late it into healthy action---remove the obstruc
tions of the stomach, bowl-, liver, and other or
gans of the body, restoring their irregular action
to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
such derangements as art the first origin of dis
ease.
Slinnte -iirec ions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which
these PILLS rapidly cure:—-
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIST
LESSNESB. LANGUOR and LOSS OF APPE
TITE, they should be taken moderately to stim
ulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone
and actior.
For I.IVER COMPLAINT and iu various
symptoms. BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK
HEACACIIE, JAUNDICE or GREEN SICK
NESS, BILIOUS COLIC A BILIOUS 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 DIARRHCBA, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For RHEUM ATDM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PAL
FIXATION OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE
SIDE, BACK and LOINS, they should be con
tinuously taken, as required, to change the dis
eased action of the system. With such change
those complaints disappear.
For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to pro-lore the effect of a drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be ta
ken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS
to promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowel? into he .'thy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often
advantageous where no serious derangement ex
ists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds
tbat a dose of these Pills makes hint feel decided
ly better, from their cleansing and renovating cf
f-ct on the digestive apparatus.
