TUB RAILROAD AND I RON INT CB
ESTB OF BEDFORD COUNTY.
The building of railroads, at this day,
tiecessar'Jv precedes the establishment of
farnaeee, rolling mills, fie. No iron pro
ducing district, however great its other ad
vautages, can bo developed without rail
roads. While possessing all other advan
tages, beyond almost any other portion of'
tho State, Bedford County has been unde
veloped for years, because she has not had
railroads. For want of railroads, even her
vast deposits of the most valuable ores have
been almost unknown. The building of the
Broadtop railroad, and the erection of the
Kemblo furnace at Riddle-burg, within
the past two years, have not only demon
strated the vaioe of her ores and coal, bat
have also demonstrated the fa-t that iron
can be manufactured in Bedford County
far more cheaply than in any ether portion
of the state. In fast it has shown that while
in some portions of the state, (which hereto
fore it was supposed possessed great advan
tages for the manufacture of iroo.) it is im
possible at present to make any profit in
the manufacture of iroo, the Kemble fur
nace has been paying handsome profits.
Wc are credibly informed by an intelligent
iron manufacturer that irouisnow produced
by this fnrnaee, at about ten dollars per ton
cheaper than almost anywhere else in the
state. The vast advantages poscssed by us
being thus demonstrated, it becomes at once
evident that railroad facilities alone arc
wanting to make our county one of the most
profitable iron manufacturing districts of tip*
State. The inquiry then arises, what rail
roads arc needed? We have now a railroad
from Huntingdon, on the Penn-ylvania Cen
tral railroad, to Mt. Dallas a point on the
Chamber.-bnrg and Bedford Turnpike, six
and a half miles east of Bedford. This road
is 44 miles in length, and leaves a break of
twenty-six miles between Mt. Dallas, its
terminus, and Bridgeport, a point on the
Pittsburgh and Conoellsville railroad, four
teen milis north west of Cumberland. Itu
mediately around Bedford are vast deposits
of the most valuable iron ores and limestone,
and facilities are afforded for manufacturing
iron even cheaper than at Riddlesburg. Six
and a half miles of road from Mt. Dallas
will reach this point ar.d develop these ores.
This can be built for a sum ranging from
1140,000 to $150,000. But a further link is
needed to Bridgeport of 20miles, which will
cost perhaps from $200,000 to $250,000.
The ad", antages of this location will be great
ly increased by this road. It will bring us
within 155 miles of Pittsburgh, where our
iron finis a market, an advantage of 46J
miles over the route by the Huntingdon and
Broadtop and Pc-nnsvlvania Central, making
a saving of from $1 to $2 per ton in freights.
In addition to this it brings us as near to
the Cumberland and Somerset coal fields as
to those of Broadtop, and gives a choice of
coal. The completion of this portion of the
road would also develop additional valuable
t-U. .fun: aluuj; > tunluu or
its line. It would also afford a nearer and
more direct route to Pittsburgh for the iron
from the Riddlesbr.rg and other furnaces in
that vicinity, besides pivit:them a choice
of routes. It being therefore settled that
these 26 miles of road are nectary to the
proper deve'opraent of our iron interest ,
let us inquire who are the interested parties
from whom we may expect aid in the work.
In the first place our own eitiz. ns are vital
ly interested and must contribute tbeir share
toward the wr-.lt; next comes the Kemble
Coil an! Iroo Cimpaay, who have leased
a large quantity of ore lands in this neigh
borhood, and who have already signified
their will ngness to give the most liberal aid,
and after ihrtu the other parties owniug ore
lands or leases. The railroads interested
are the Pennsylvania Central, the Hunting
don and Bioadtop, the Pittsburg and Con
oellsville and the Baltimore and Ohio. The
first three named would all be largely bene
fitted by the development of the iron manu
fact ore here and the increased traffic on
their roads, and have all signified their wi!
lingness to assist in the construction of our
road. Such is the status of our railroad
and iron interests at the present time. Ar
rangements have been made by the Hunting
don and Broadtop Railroad Company for
the survey, location and estimates of the six
and a half uiiles from Mt Dallas to Bedfoid
as soon as the weather will permit. In the
meantime an organization should be effect
ed upon the extended charter of the Bed
ford and Bridgeport railroad, all interested
parties should be promptly seen, their sub
scriptions secured, and every preparation
made for begining work upon the road at
the earliest possible moment.
A GREAT CRY AM) LITTLE WOOL.
The above was the very appropriate title
of an article in last week s Gazette, in which
the writer made a feeble attempt to threw
dust in the eyes of the tax-payers of the
county. He attempted to an-wcr our ques
tion, as to the disposition of the interest on
County funds in the hands of Treasurer's,
by replying (hat sopie $6,311 79 of the
$11,602 31 in the Treasury went to pay the
balance due the State, and the balance was
needed to pay current expenses up to June
• Ist, when the collection of taxes for the
year began. This would bare been all well
enough if there had been no other sources
from which to obtain funds, and the Treasur
er had been called upon for the $6,371 7S due
the State before the collections began. This
may have been called for, before dune 1-t,
or it may not; the Treus urer does not give
the date, in his report. Wo find that be
aide the $11,603 31 in the Treasury there
were $4,01$ 11 due from collectors and oth
ers, on the Ist of January 1860, which it
was the duty of the Treasurer to collect and
which we baTe no doubt he did promptly,
as he was an efficient officer; this made
$15,621 42 in the Treasury, Rom which we
may deduct the $6,371 79 which we will
suppose were called fur before the first of
June, also $1,281 11 expenses of courts to
June the Ist 186#, and we still have $7,
968 52 to remain all the 7ar in the hands
of the Treasurer, and a much larger suns a
grest portion of the yoar. The present year
there are $7,024 73 due the County, which
should be collected and ought to meet the
current expenses of the County and pay the
State assessment beside, without touching
the $14,866 % now in tie Treasury. It is
the principle, and not the exact amount of
money that we contend for. We don't care if
I the Treasurer be a Democrat or* Republican,
I wc believe that he gets bis salary for bis
' services, that the tax-payers of the County
are entitled to the interest of the surplus
fund in the Treasury, and that we ought to
have a general law to that effect, regulating
such matters throughout the State. In this
we believe, we have the support of good
TUMI of all parlies, excepting always the pot
house politicians who live by plunder. For
the edification of the Gazette roan we will
inform him that the Additional Law Judge
does not draw his sa'ary out of the County
Treasury, and, moreover, that the law busi
ness of the District is, at present, quite as
much as both the Judges can transact.
Knowing the scaly character of his argu
ment, this vituperative scribbler tries to
mate up in personal abuse of us what he
lacks in reasoning power. We are used to
that r jrt of 'hing from that quarter and
don't feel hmt at all. If there has been lit
tle or nothing praiseworthy in the doings of
>he Democracy for a InDg time past, it is no
fault of ours ; the Gazette man mu-t settle
that with his party. We must thank him
though for telling his readers that we take
the liberty ol finding fault with the doings
of our own party whenever we believe it
does wrong. That is more truth than he is
in the habit of telling of us. If we are
"straight-laced," weareindependent enough
to denounce corruption and peculation in
j our own party, as well as that of our oppo
nents, whenever we find it, and that is more
\ than onr neighbor of the Gazette can say
! for himself.
Out TRADE BALANCES. — I The trad? re.
port- for January Ist 1870 shows a most
gratifying improvement on the previou
year. At the dose of the year 1868 the
balance against us on our foreign trade was
$24,129,049. In other words we had bought
more merchandise abroad than we had sold,
to the amount of $24,129,049, and were
just that much out of pocket on our year's
business. At the close of the year 1869,
though we had transacted a bu-iness of
f 46,000,000 more than the previous year
the ha'ance against us was but $1,978,264.
This certainly shows an improvement in the
condition of our foreign trade, but it is still
not what it should be. Instead of a balance
against us we should have a balance in our
favor. The balances against us some years
ago before a protective tariff was adopted
were much heavier than in 186S and some
times amounted to hundreds of millions.
Under protection we are steadily improving
and if our present tariff is not interfered
with the clo-e of the present year may
-how a balance in our favor. But if wc re
turn to a comparative free-trade rate of
duties we wiii nio.-t certainly find the bal
ances once more heavily against us. I'ro
t etion is our only s"curity.
Jy A. Tot. LARD publishes a long letter
entitled ''W ho killed the Southern Confed
eracy,' 1 in which he lays the whole blame
of the death of the Confederacy at the di or
of Jeff. Paris. Poor fellow, he had sins
enough to answer for already, and from our
stand point we would be inclined to give
him credit for putting an end to the Con
federacy if we thought he had done it, but
we don't believe he did. Grant did that
little job.
WE are to have a new series of postage

'hey will stick well to the letters and that
the Department will stick well to them.
We have had quite too maoy changes and

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT, j
LETTER FROM UAKItISBt'KG.
HARRISBCRG, Pa:, March 11, 1870.
THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION
Has been the most exciting topic at the
capital, during the past week. The fact
that General Irwin refused to be sworn,
when summoned before the Finance Com
mittee, was reported to the Senate, aod that
body pas.-ed a resolution directing the
Speaker "to issue bis warrant to the Ser
geaut-at Arms, commanding him to pro
duce, at the bar of the Senate, W. W.
Irwin, there to be subject to such orders a*
the Senate may make in the premises."
The resolution passed the Senate yesterday,
with but four di-senting votes, and the
Speaker is.-ned his warrant last evening in
accordance with the action of that body;
this morning, however, by a vote of 16 to
11, the Si n ite re considered its action of
yesterday, and postponed the matter for the
pre.-ent. The argumen's used for this re
consideration was that the Senate was ex
ceeding the power it possessed, in attempt
ing to bring General Irwin here under ar
rest. Mr. Putman supported this view of
the case in a leDgthy and able speech, and
was replied to by Mr. Buckalew, in his
usual clear and logical manner. The dis
cussion ixcited a good deal of interest, and
was listened to with much attention. It is
thought that thi§ action of the Senate will
put a yop to further investigations on the
part of the Finance Committee.
THE BORDER CLAIMS.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means have reported favorably a bill tor the
payment of damages sustained by border
counties during the war. The main pro
virions of the bill are as follows: Ail
revenues received by the State from the
counties of Adams, Cumberland, Bedford,
Fulton, Perry and York are appropriated to
the payment ol these claims until the same
shall be paid iu full ol principal and in
terest at the rate of five percent, perannnm
from the date of the pa-sage of the act.
The State Treasurer is to issue to the
claimants, or their proper representatives,
certificates of claims bearing five per cent,
intere-t. The original claims are transferred
to the State, which may hereafter demand
and recover them from the General Govern
ment. Certain persons named in the bill
are appointed to examine and adjudicate
j the claims presented, with power to increase
or d-crease the satne.
The provision* of the bill are the result
of careful consideration and consultation
among the parties interested, and perhaps
put the olaiui3 in n,> unobjectionable a shape
as possible. Their justness has been fully
recognized, and there should be no decided
opposition to the passage of the bill in its
presem shape.
SOLDIERS' ORPHANS' SCHOOLS.
A good many charges of mismanagement
and improper administration of affairs have
been made in reference to the Soldiers' Or
phan-/ School I'epartment, under the
charge of Col. McFarland. Last winter the
Senate Committee on E location was au
thorized to investigate the alleged abuses in
this Department, and a few days ago Mr.
Graham presented the report of the Com
mittec. The report entirely exonerate!-
Colonel McFarland from any fraud or com
plicity of ftaud. and declares that he has
been found to have no financial interests in
any particular school under his charge.
The repott will probably set at rest the
dotfbts as to his integrity, and bare the
effect of continuing him at the head of that
Department.
GENERAL PIPE I.AW.
W hat is termed a General Pipe Law in
reference to the transportation of oil in pipes
is now before the Legislature. The Oil Pro
ducers' Association are making a strong
effort to secure its passage, and with con
siderable assuiances of success. It has
passed the House and is now before the
Senate. The bill extends the proti.-ions of
the act of 1863 relating to corporations for
mechanical manufacturing, mining and
quarrying purposes to the transporta'ion
and storage of petroleum in the counties ol
Venango, Warren, Forest, Armstrong,
Claiion, Butler and Beaver. It provides
also that any company organized for such
purposes, under the provisions of said act,
shall have the right to transport, store, in
sure and ship petroleum, and for that pur
pose lay down, construct, anj maintain
pipes, tubing, tanks, and the like, as may
be necessary, and to enter upon, use and
occupy such lands as may be requisite under
the same provisions as are contained in the
act of 1849 in reference to railroads. The
bill is meeting with a vigorous opposition
on the part of certain private corporations
that now enjoy an exclu-ive monopoly of the
transportation of oil in the manner indicated.
The probabilities are however that the bill
will become a law.
IN BRIEF.
The 12th of Aptil is now talked of as a
day for the final adjournment of the Legis
lature.
A bill is before the Legislature to repeal
the law of last year, making Good Friday a
public holiday.
The local option license bill still remains
at second reading in the House.
A new Metropolitan Police bill, for Phila
delphia, has been reported favorably frout
Committee to the Senate, but its passage is
doubtful.
The General Appropriation bill is still in
the Lands of the Finance Committee of the
Senate.
The testimony has not yet all been pre
sented in the Diamond-Watt contested
election case of the Senate.
FOB SEVERAL weeks past there has been
a blockade, as regards freight, all the way
from Louisville to Atlanta, Ga. The cause
is fbnnd in the inability of the Western At
lantic road, ftom Chattanooga to Atlanta,
to carry the accumulation of freight for the
Southeast. More rolling stock is what must
be had to remedy the evil, which is proving
quite serious.
X I,lst CONG R ESS-SEC ON O SESSION.
SENATE— March B'b.—Senate resumed
th- consideration of the Funding bill. ,
Mr. Corbett addressed the Senate on his
proposed amendment for ihe first three sec
tions of the substitute reported by the com
mittee.
Mr. Corbett's amendment provides for
the issue of $1,000,000,000 in loads to run
thirty-five jeers, interest payable in gold,
first three year* at six per cent., next six
years at five per cent., next six ycahsal four
and one half per cent., and the following
twenty years at four per eent., to be lies
from all taxation. The Secretary of the
Treasury is to have authority to exchange
these bonds at par for the five twenties at
par, at the option of the holders of said
securities, or to place them in market at
home and abroad at a uniform fixed price,
the proceeds of which sales shall be used to
red'-eui the out standing five twenties.
Mr. Williams objected to the first amend
rasnt, because it only provided for one bond.
It is impossible to fund the whole debt witb
a single bond.
Mr. Cole objected to the amendment, lie
cause he thought the bond would run too
long.
Mr. Scott said he would favor the bill,
with a provision that the negotiation of the
loan lie carried on without etnplot ing anv
outside agencies. The proper way would
be to advertise in ihe regular way, and dis
pose of the loan to the highest bidders.
Mr. Corbett withdrew his first amend
ment for the time being.
In the House, a large number of unim
poiunt bills were introduced and referred.
In the Seriate the next day, after gome
discu'sion, Mr. Davis moved to recommit
the bill with eight, instructions, as follows ;
First —A reduction of the amount of each
outstanding bond of the United States by
the difference between the nominal amount
and its gold value, or the gold value of the
bond of which it is the immediate or remote j
Bub-titute.
Second— By the amount of usury paid by
the Uoited States on said boud or any bond
or bonds of which it is the immediate or re
mote substitute.
Third —Reduce the entire interest on all
outstanding bonds to five per cent, per an
num.
Fourth —Tax all dividends received on
United States bonds as so much income.
Fifth —Reduce the appropriation for the
army to a reasonable cost of 20,000 men,
rank and file.
Sixth —Reduce ihe aggregate appropria
tion for the navy to tweuty millions dollars.
Seventh, —Reduce the aggregate appropri
ation lor the civil and diplomatic service of
the Government ten per cent.
Eighth— R>-duee the aggregate amount of
internal taxes and duties on imports, each
334 per cent.
Mr. Davis advocated hi* proposition in a
speech.
Pending the action on Mr. Davis' motion,
on a motion made by Mr. Edmunds, the
Senate went into Executive session, after
which, adjourned.
On the 9th, the morning hour having ex
pired, the Funding hill was taken up, and
the que-tion being on the motion of Mr.
Davis, to recommit the bill witb instruc
tions, it was voted down.
In the House, the following hills were in
troduced and referred to the prqper com
mittees :
Aboii-hing the Freedtnan's Bureau.

th-- city of Philadelphia in 1870.
Regulating ( ongresstonal mileage.
iVlr. Logan gave notice that he would call
up the bill for the reorganization of the
\rrit to-morrow.
OnthelDh, the Funding hill after hav
ing lieen variously amended finallv passed
the Senate by a vote of 32 yeas to 10 oay.
Nearly all the past week was consumed in
; the discussion of this question.
The House acted upon a large number of
bills of a private nature, ami in the after
j noon went into committee of the whole on
the Tariff bill. They adjourned however
j without disposing of it.

ON SATURDAY Boston celebrated the cen
tennial anniversary of the first blood shed
in the commotions which preceded the revo
lution. This massacre' has been the theme
of song and eloquence. The victims were
fjur persons killed by the British soldiery
in King street in the suppre-sin of a riot.
Crisprn Attacks, the most noted of the vic
tims, was a gigantic mulatto.
THE PEIGHTAL MURDEBEHB.
The Pcigbtal murderers were hanged in
Huntingdon on Wedoesday tb 9th ioat., at
12i o'clock. Ao iinmcr.se throng of peo-
Sie Were preaent '? witness the proceedings,
of the prisoners showed any emo
ti.m of fear on the occasion. Bohner made
the following confession :
"On the 15th of November, we went on
the railroad to Huntingdon, where we got
off and Wnt to the place where the deed WR*
done. Bodehburg said that the farmer had
gold and silver, and then I believed what
he had said to Mrs. Gable in Altoona be
fore I knew him, that he w* to get. gold
and ailver ftom Germany. [This lady was i
here as a witness in Court ami her story '
was believed.] I found out last Bpiig when
I was in the same hoarding house with him,
that the farmer had gold and silver. lie
said to me he wanted to steal it all from
hint. He worked as a cabinet maker in the
round house >n Altoona aud made for him
self a large knife for that purpose. We
went to the place to steal the first time, one
month before, bur cou'd not do anything
and went away again to Altoona. I went to
work again, and he went lo a man that had
a daughter and spent his time with her.
He had no money and no work. This
knife that he had he thtcw into the c-anal at
Huntingdon when wc were there the first
tunc. He made this L >irl a great promise of
much money, which brought him to the
thought on murder. We came lo the farm
and slept Tuesday night in the house. My
Eistol 1 laid out on the window according to !
is orders and he said that he would get up i
in the night, but wc were v. ry tired an i
el-pt till dayiiaht. We staid in the neigh j
hot hood that day and ho told me how he j
would make it; that ho wanted my pistol and
bis, one in each hand, and he would de- i
mand the money. We both went into the'
house where they were eating sapper, and ■
I held the door shut ao they could not slip
out. He spoke in English, what he wanted,
and the farmer and his wife |oke Engli-h
to him, which I did not understand because
I could not do it myself, lie demanded the
tnonej because I could not speak English,
only a Utile. Alter quarrelling awhile, the
wife got up and the mau also, and he shot
the farmer with the pistol in the right hand,
and the Woman With the one in the left.
The man tell lo the floor, hut the woman
did not fall. She picked up the coal -hov,-l
and came toward me when I was still stand
ing at the door, and struck at uie, and fell

again loaded his pistols and shot the little
boy dead. He shot twice at bim so far as I
know. He tbeu loaded again, and shot the
farmer once more, and gave me the empiy
pistols, which was my own; in ihe mean
ttme I hit the farmer's wife wiih the coal
shovel, as she stnl was not dead yet. We
then went iuto the be i room and broke open
the bureau and cheat wth an axe, aud found
gold and silver and $250 in paper uiouey
aud divided it equally. The amount of gu d
aud silver Ido not know. We divided it
but did not couot it. I put mine in a bag
aud stuck it it in a pair of pants which was
laying on the bed, and wrapped it in a black
cloth. lie also took a cloth and overcoat,
and boots, aud then we weut out info the
horse stable where be wanted to get on a
horse, which I did not agree to. We then
came to a quarrel and he threatened to shoot
uie, and pulled out his pistol, ami I puded
out miue which wa- not loaded, but still in
the same condition he gave it to me. I soon
loaded it aud to.d bim let u- go. He says
not yet, we will burn the house down so
that the people will thiuk they were burned.
We took a bundle of straw, and I went in
and laid it in the room, aud put tied clothes
to it, and be put the tire to it while I Was
watcniug at the window.
Alter ibis we went away toward the rail
road, aud he said on the road that be wau
ted to visit a good friend a tew days, and
wauled to preseut him ihe pistols aud asked
uie wether 1 would not give biui mine too.
1 told biui if be would give me $4, what it
cost me, 1 wuUid, and he gave Uief tiu
sliver. I did not trust liitn right, and shot
it oil iiist, aud asked him to shoot his oit
too. We came b> tnis time to Huut.ngdou

DCRINO THE di.-cusdon on February 18,
on the apptopriati"U to par female e'erk*,
Representative Rogers, of Arkansas, made
a very severe attack upon them, charging
them with all manner ol shortcomings, and
declaring his intention, within a m ntb, to
present a hill prohibiting their employment
by the Government. During the past week
the female employees of the Treasury De
partment presented Mr. Rogers with four
leather medals, handsomely gotten up, ami
in-eribed, "In Honor of the IBih Day of
February, 1870."
I* 1835 two English missionaries landed
on the Fiji Islands, and the islands have al
ready been brought into a state of nominal
Christianity. This phrase is one of great
signifleance when applied to Fiji Islanders
who half a century ago, were cantiiba's and
now are so far lifted out of their harharious
ctndition that their islands make a pleasant
home for civil wed people. The native pop
ulation— 100 OOu in number—occupy these
two hundred islands, living in towns ofa
bout 500 souls each the villages being gov
ertud by a chief, who is in turn subject to a
king, of which each island has one. Viti
Leon, the largest island, is 350 miles in eir
cum'erence of 200 miles. The whites in
the Fji Islands number 2 000. The climate
is described as delightful; the soil is a datk,
rich loam; and the products arecottcn and
tropical fruits.
IN 1732 the English attacked a fleet ol
Spanish galleons near 1 igo, when seven of
them were sunk all d nine burnt. The
galhnns contained the tribute of theSpani-h
colonies for the years 1700-1, amounting,
it is stated to 2,000.000 pounds sterling.
The greater part ol this enormous sunt is
presumed to be still at the bottom ol the
sea, and a Fiencb society has been formed
for the purpose of recovering the lost
treasure. Operations have already begun,
and Ihe divers have hit upon ten of the
galleons. They are thickly encrusted with
marine growth, yet the chief engineer pro
po-es to rai-e them up to the surface of the
water. Several curious articles, oxydizt-d
aimor and weapons, a silver vase, and nu
merous cannon balls, have been found by
the divers on the decks of the vessels. The
Spanish Government has stipulated that 43
per cent, of the recovered treasure must be
paid into its treasury.
IN RETALIATION for the termination of tne
Reciprocity tieaty, the Canadian Govern
ment is preparing a series of measures in
tended to annoy and injure as much as pos
sible American merchants at.d shipping
masters. One of thee measures is an act
now before the Dominion Parliament, for
bidding American vessels to carry goods or
passengers from one Canadian pott to an
other, uuder a penalty of four hundred dol
lars and the forfeiture of the goods. This
act, if it becomes a law, will undoubtedly
take away from our lake shipping much val
uable business; but as regards tbe Canadian
people it will be decidedly biting off their
nose to spite their face. It amounts to just
this: that no Canadian shall be permitted to
make use of the facilities of travel and
fieight afforded by American vessels, but
must either nsori to land carriage or avail
himself of some inferior craft belonging to
his countrymen. If the Canadias are pairi
otic enough to stand this Americans will not
object. Only it isdoubtiul whether every
such turn ol the screw will not u3ke Cana
da more dis-ati-.fied wiih its present situa
tion and more anxious for a radical change.

, FOR PURIFYING I'll I BLOOD,
rhapind one medicine is so nnirervaliy re- |
<t by evy bod" as . sthartw, nor was ever
enf be'ore so universally adopted into DM. in
ewry country and among all CISSMS, as this mild
but efficient purgative PILL. Tbe obvious rea
son is. that it is a more reliable and far more af
factual remedy than any other. Those who hare I
tried it, know that it cured them ; those who have
not, know that it ceres their neighbors sod friends, I
and all know that what it dvys Mi of it doe# al
ways —that it never fails' fhr'.uyh any fadlt or
'ttegTWfof its romprfstHfm. We have fhertrvsndi I
upon thousands of certificates of tbrir remarkable I
cures of the (allowing complaints, but such cures
are known in every <>e gkborhood, and we need I
not publish them. Adapted to all ages and con
ditions in ail climates ; containing neither calo
mel or anv deleterious drug, they may oe tak-n
with safety by anybody. Then sugar coating
preserves then: ever ftesb and makes tbem pleas- !
ant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm
can rise from their use in any quantity.
Tbey operate by their powerful influence on
the interoai viscera to purify the blood and stimu
late it into healthy aution---remuve tea obstruc
tions of tbe stomach, bowls, liver, and other or. I
gans of tie body, restoring their irregular action I
to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
such derangements as arv the first origin of dis
ease.
Minu'e directions are given in the wrapper on
tbe box, LII the following complaints, which
these Pi I.US rapidly care:—
t-'or DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION. LIST- j
LE6BNESS LANGUOR and LOSS UF APPE
TITE, tbey should be taken moderately to stim
ulate tbe stomach and restore its healthy tons I
and astiot.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and ire various
symptoms. HI LIOIJB IIEADACH E, SICK
HEACAT'IIF. JAUNDICE or GREEN SICK.
NE.-S. BILIOUS COLIC A BILIOUS FEVERS,
tbey should be judiciously taken for each case, to I
correct the diseased action or retnovn the obstruc
tions which cause it.
For DYSENTERY or DIARRHOEA, but our
mild dose is generally required.
For RIIEL MAI I M, (.OUT, GRAVEL, PAL
RITA'LJON OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE
SIDE. BACK and LOINS, they should be con- J
tinuously taken, as requited, to change the dis- [
eased action of the system. With such change I
those complaints disappear
For DHOP'Y aod DROPSICAL SWELLINGS
thev should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of A drastic purge.
For !SUPPK ESSION a large dose should be ta
ken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
ASA DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS
to promote digestion aod relieve the stomach.
AM occasional d se stimulates tbe stomach and I
bowels into healthy action, restores tbe appetite, I
and invigorates tbe system. Hence it is often
advantageous where no serious derangement ex I
ista. Due who leels tolerably well, often finds J
that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decided
ly better, from their cleansing and renovating ef
fect on the digestive .apparatus.

S . G . MASON'S
DOL'BLE-.ACTING NON-FREEZING
CAST-IRON FORCE PUMP.
This Pump has been awarded the PIRST PRE
MIUM at tbe New York, Ohio, and Pennsylva
nia State Fairs.
This Pump never freerss, from tbe fact that the
moment you stop pumping, the water gradually
drops back to a level with the water in tbe well;
consequently you always get PURE COLD
WATER. Itwill force water any distance through
pipe, and in case of FIRE, is valuable, as water
may he thrown to the distance of from fifty to
sixty feot from its mouth, by attaching 3 or four
feet of small hose- It is DOUBLE ACTING,
and can be worked with ea-e. It is just the
thing to wash wagons, buggies, end water gar
dens, Ac., and every farmer and mechanic should
have use of these pumps. As for Health, this
Pump has been pn pounced by our leading Phy
sicians as being one of the very best pumps now
in use. It is generally known that wooden pumps
hold the water in the stalk, and of course it tastes
more or Icbs of the wood. This Pump leaves all
the water drop back just as soon as you stop
pnmpiog. to tbe level of the water in the well.
So vou get PUKE COLD WATER from the bot
torn of tbe well every time you draw a bucket
full. There ate about 92 of these pumps now in
use in this county, for one and two years, and
they have ALL given perfect satisfaction. Not
one of these BCA froten since they have been put
in. For reference I can give some of the very
best men in our towu and county. Call and see
