Rev. Riddle is a riddle—a perfect enigma to
some. We say this with all due respect to

place, fell down a flight of stairs and sustained
serious bodily injuries. The fall rendered the

consciousness. Dr. Sterrett was called and
administered all needed medical attention.—

There was much complaint at Mount Union,
on Sunday night, when the passengers for the
East Broad Top train alighted from the 10.30
P. R. R. train and found that the former had
left. It was enough to make a saint, to say
nothing of a preacher, swear. One fellow was
heard, above all the din and cussing, exclaim :
"It Sims blanked strange that this blanked
one horse railroad can't run according to
schedule !"
The Orbisonia Leader of the 16th inst., in
announcing the death of J. Dallas Wicks, of
that place, says : "On the Saturday previous
to his death be was in his usual good health,
and attended the Festival in the Prebyterian
Church. On Monday he was stricken with
Cholera Morbus and all efforts to check it
were unavailing. lie died as above stated at
noon on Thursday. The bereaved family have
our sympathies."

We understand that the friends of Maj. Whar
ton bad intended to buy it in, but when it
was bid up to more than they thought it was
worth, they concluded to let it slide. The
Major proposes to remove the machinery and
continue the manufacture of boots and shoes
in another building.
Rev. Cyrus Jeffries, of Burnt Cabins, late
of Mount Union, this county, is reported to
have died at a Camp Meeting some where in
New Jersey whither lie had gone on a visit.—
We never met Mr. Jeffries, but what we have
heard and read of him stamped him as one of
the most active thinkers and workers of this
region of the country. We hope our old
friend, John Dougherty, esq., will prepare a
proper tribute to his memory.
In the P. R. R. yard hack of roundhouse
No. 2, this city, stands engine No. 785, form
erly a shifter in the Pittsburgh yard. During
the late strike when mob law ruled in Pitts
burgh a six pound cannon ball was fired and
struck the right band brass railing, then
passed through the boiler into the flue where
it remained. It was dug out afterwards by
railroaders. It made a circular hole in the
boiler, and bent the tiue.—Altoona Mirror.
A bountiful Providence having showered
its blessings in profusion upon the citizens of
Franklin township, in this county, and Furgu
son township, in Centre county, a grand union
picnic and harvest home will be held at
Baileyville, in the latter township, • on Satur
day the 25th inst., to which all the world and
'the rest of mankind" are invited. The bread
and cake question, with an occasional pie
thrown in, will be ably discussed by all hands,
We were shown a sample of plate glass
manufactured at Crystal City, Mo., which is
as near perfect as this article can be made,
and Mr. Gorman, the gentleman who sent it,
says that the material in the vicinity of Ham
tingdon will turn out glass equally as good,
and much cheaper. Such quality of plate
glass need not go begging for pur-hasers, but
can be sold faster than it can be made. Take
stock in the Huntingdon Plate Glass Works if
you want a paying investment.
Howard Lantz, an eighteen-year old son of
Mr. John Lantz, of Altoona, was bitten by
what was supposed to have been a mad dog,
a few days ago, and the family and friends of
the young man arc in great trepidition lest ke
should fail a victim to that terrible disease,
hydrophobia. The dog which was shot and
killed soon after, was supposed to ha.e been
rabid because he partook of water in which a
cat manifesting all the symptoms of hydro
phobia hail been drowned a short time pre
vious.
An exchange says a cheap and effective
telephone can be made by taking two small
round boxes and passing a strung string through
a hole in the bottom of each, securely fastened
by a knot. It will make no difference whether
the string is twenty feet or twenty rods long.
It it is drawn tightly, and one end is held to
tlic mouth of the speaker and the other to the
ear of the listener, and the faintest whisper
can be instantly heard with great distinctness.
It is a curious and pleasing experiment and
and well worth trying.
The position of the editor of this paper, on
the Sunday question, now being agitated at
Camp, can be summed up in a few words :
IV,• have never been able to see the difference
lmtween taking pay for hauling a man to
church on Sunday and paying another man to
address him after he getE, there. Nor have we
ever been able to see why the poor laborer, who
cannot attend during the week, should be de
prived of the public carriage on Sunday while
the rich man can use his private carriage and
driver without a word of complaint.
It is said the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has a clerk employed, in Altoona, ex
aming and compiling newspaper criticisms
upon the corporation and its officers. Of
course the company does not foot the bill !
He is, quite likely, paid out of the divies.—
Some of the articles that reach him must be
extremely refreshing reading. If he will let
us know on what particular subject he w.snts
comments we will go considerably out of our
way to accommodate him We might be able
to make some obscure things extremely plain.

Our esteemed friend, Dr. J. C. Fleming, left
Ibis place, one day last week, for the West,
where he intends looking up a desirable loca
tion and settling down to the practice of his
profession. The Doctor is well-read, and
graduated with high honors from Jefferson
Medical College, one of the foremost medical
institutions of the country, and being familiar
with all matters connected with materimedica,
he is fully competent to prescribe for all dis
eases that flesh is heir to. We hope that his
lines may fall in pleasant places and that he
may be successful beyond his most sanguine
expections.
M. August Gobert, fits, sailed for Europe
on Saturday the 11th inst. He will return in
the SprinE and locate Plate Glass Works at
some point in the Juniata Valley. He has re
solved to carry out his original intention if it
takes the balance of his natural life. Hun
tingdon was his first cheice and we hope he
may never have cause to change his mind.—
Though badly misrepresented, by many of our
people, yet Mr. Gobert, we think, if opportunity
were afforded him, would present us with the
grandest Plate Glass Works in the world. He
feels that his reputation as an honorable gen
tleman is at stake and he would remove all
doubts on that score. We have every confi
dence in him.

Owing to the defect in the jury panel of
April Sessions having caused a continuance
of all cases until this week, the work of the
Court this Session promises to be unusually
prolonged, though no cases of great importance
are for trial. Pending the finding of bills by
the Grand Jury on Monday afternoon, the
Court heard a few of those little complaints
known as surety of the peace eases. The first
of these was a charge against T. F. Shipton,
of Ennisville, for using threats and assaults
atrainst his neighbor, J. M. Smith, on'harrass
ing him generally to his great vexation and
torment of mind. Smith wanted a nice prom
enade along the road in front of Shipton's lot,
while Shipton wanted a wood pile at the same
place. The walk obstructed the wood pile,
the wood pile obstructed Mr. Smith's ideas of
neighborly conduct, and a general cussedness
and stubborness seems to have resulted. These
neighbors were sentenced each to enter into
his own recognizance to keep the peace to
wards all good citizens and particulary toward
the other for one year.
A shifting of the scenes brought two other
neighbors on the floor ; this time two for
eigners who bad some quarrel or misunder
standing, at least, about sowing Hungarian
grass upon the farm of their mother-in-law.—
One alleged, in a splutter of broken French
or very badly dislocated English,that the other
had followed him down a lane at night with
a pistol or scythe or hatchet or club or some
thing, with the intention of killing him. The
other explained to the Court all about the
affair—making it very plain to the Court, pro
vided the Court understood gibberish, that
all that was wrong was that they couldn't
understand each other, his brother in-law
thought he was following him to kill him
when all lie wanted was an explanation, "for
you see dot Winterhalter he schpeak in zo
many diverent lanquitch all mix up togetter
dat uopody can fursteh vot he say." The
Court understood enough, however, to enable
it to decide that each party ought to enter
into his own recognizance to keep the peace
towards each other, it appearing that both
parties had acted badly.
"The nextcase," said his Honor, "is the Com
monwealth vs. Heywood Tolliver." "Heywood
Tolliver, you're wanted," said the defendant's
counsel,and up stepped a lively young gentle
man, a preacher of "the colored persuasion"
of this town. "What is your right name ?"
asked his counsel, and the gentleman gave it.
Our reporter's paper gave out before he got it
all down but a small fraction of the conclusion
was retained by dint of memory alone—the
surname end being Heywood Tolliver Bell.
Ile was charged with beating and otherwise
maltreating a young lady whose mother he
was about to marry. His virtuous indignation
at being dragged into Court by a girl who
didn't want him to court her mother, knew
no bounds. "Why, your Honor, her story is
all a fabrication, I never touched her in my
horn days and she ought to be 'shamed of
herself to tell such lies about me." This case
was dismissed.
The next case was most amusing. An ec
centric and credulous Jew, named Asher
Sterne, was charged with using threatening
and abusive language towards Samuel March,
another Israelite, both residents of Hunting
don. Sterne is the same individual who was
recently initiated into the new order of Free
Masons in this town. As March took the
bible to be sworn, Sterne jumped up and said
in a highly dramatic tone: "Your Honor, dot
man don't schwear de truth on de book," and
he whipped out a cabalistic cube with straps
attached, requesting that March be sworn by
that instrument. Mr. March, however, averred
that he believed the Christian formula bind
ing upon him and he took the oath with the
uplifted hand, and told his story, which was
corroborated by other witnesses. But when
Stern's turn came, and the mysterious black
cube was invoked (Jews by the way swear
with their hats on) a mournful talc was un
folded. Sterne is a tailor, and his tjals and
tribulations in this town have been mire than
enough for nine tailors to bear. Duraig the
dead watches of the night fearful schemes
were concocted by enemies who wanted to
bring about his mysterious disappearance trom
town, and in the morning the door of his shop
was covered with coffins and other devices
which intimated plainer than words that his
goose was about to be cooked. "Why, your
Honor will be astonished, yes you'll be aston
ished, when yon see what my neighbors have
done against me, and brother Masons, too !
lurch, he averred, didn't consider the Bible
as of more account than a newspaper, but he
believed in the Bible and that Jesus was the
Messiah. He bad been in Ireland and Scot
land ten years, but never was so badly treated
as in Huntingdon. Some brother .Masons had
tried to bribe him to leave town, but he was
not going to be bribed out nor froze out. lie
had been cheated and robbed, his money and
machine taken from him, his thumb put out
of joint and himself immured in a dungeon,
and be implored the Court to see that justice
was done him at last. The Court censured
those who took advantage of the mental weak
ness of others to play practical jokes upon
them until they were exasperated into the
commission of breaches of the peace, and
warned Mr. Sterne that although he would be
let off this time, if he were again annoyed he
had no right to threaten and assault his
neighbors who took advantage of him ; he had
a legal remedy, and if he was brought up
again for the commission of a like offense he
would have to be sent to jail. ''Thank your
Honor," said Sterne, who seemed to consider
the prospect as rather inviting than otherwise.
And perhaps it was to him.
The investigation of another quarrel be
tween neighbors concluded the labors of Mon
day's sess on. Daniel Hoffman and Joseph
Hoffman were the defendants in this case.—
The particulars were not very interesting ; the
case was dismissed and Joseph Hoffman, one
of the defendants, ordered to pay the costs.
TUESDAY'S SESSION
A jury was sailed to try two indictments in
one of which Samuel Helms was charged with
an assault upon James K. Thompson, a police
officer of Mt. Union borough, on the 4th of Ju
ly last, and in the other Henry Helms, a broth
er of Samuel, was charged with rescuing Sam
uel from the custody of the officer. Several
interesting points arose in this case, the trial
of which lasted nearly all day. Among other
things it was decided that a Burgess, being a
peace officer, under the Borough Act of 1851,
has power to appoint special policemen on an
ernergency,Jvithout special ordinance of the
borough council, and he is only responsible to
the town council for the exercise of ordinary
discretion in their appointment. If he appoint
an excessive number, so as to burden the tax
payers, the officers appointed could probably
not be paid without vote of council, and the
council would not probably be mandatnussed
to vote an appropriation to pay an excessive
amount for such services. It was also decided
that if a peace officer arrest a man for disord
erly conduct, in broad daylight, with the in
tention of taking him to the lock up instead
of first taking Lim before the Burgess for a
hearing, the officer would be a trespasser and
the defendant would be justified in resisting
the attempts of the officer to arrest him under
such circumstances. In this case it was al
leged that Samuel Helms committed an assault
and battery upon Thompson before Thompson
attempted to arrest him, and supplemented
this immediately by an additional assault af
ter the attempt to arrest was made. It was
held that as Thompson was not at the time in
actual performance of an official act such as
serving a warrant etc., the first attack upon
the officer would be indictable only as an or
dinary assault and battery, but any assault
made by Helms upon Thompson after the lat
ter had attempted to arrest him for an actual
misdemeanor, would be an assault upon an
officer in the execution of his duty. It was
alleged in defence that Helms, who was under
the influence of liquor, walked up to Thomp
son and inquired of him why he bad taken one
Nolan to the lock up just a few minutes before,
upon which Thompson, armed with a revolver
in one hand and a handybilly in the other,
commenced to beat Helms about the head, and
was only forced to desist by Helms' brother
who interfered. It seemed pretty clear that
the interference of Henry Helms was only for
the purpose of preventing the officer from
wantonly abusing Samuel, or from exciting
him into a more dangerous breach of the peace.
The jury acquitted Henry Helms and found
Samuel Helms guilty only of simple assault
and battery, dividing the costs between him
and the prosecutor, Mr. Thompson.
From grave to gay again, the attention of
the Court was diverted, by the hearing of a
couple of additional surety of the peace cases.
Harry Swivel, charged with deserting his wife
Nora Swivel, was sentenced to pay hers week.
ly instalment of three dollars, or about one
third his earnings.
The next case was the complaint of a man
who had run against a couple of ugly snags—
or at least he thought so. It was another case
of quarreling neighbors. John Kellar and his
wife live in a house adjoining the home of
Mrs. Margaret Suag and Elizabeth Snag. Kel
ler's children were fond of Snags' peaches ;
Snags' threatened to scald the children ; Mrs.
Keller took up the quarrel and stones are said
to have been thrown ; then the husbands took
up the quarrel and it landed in court. "Just
look at the utter absurdity and uselessness of
your conduct," said the Court. "You come
here talking about each other and feeling
wickedly towards each other. You come un
der a recognizance from a justice of the peace,
at an expense in railroad fare, time, and hotel
expenses in this town which makes this law
suit cost you more than every one of you would
earn in two or three wceks,or perhaps months,
and all for the gratification ofyour revengeful
or spiteful feelings toward one another ; you
are poor, and everybody is poorer from the re
sult of it, except the officers who get the costs.
That is all it amounts to ; as much of your
hard earnings is taken by this lawsuit as would
buy you each two or three barrels of flour,
and then it ends in nothing ; we can do noth
ing but bind you over to keep the peace to
wards each other, and that is what you ought
to be bound to do by your own sense of right
and wrong, without it being enforced by a
Court."
But notwithstanding, each party seemed to
lose sight of his or her own pecuniary loss in
gleeful contemplation of the fact that all the
others bad been bound over, and all seemed
equally satisfied. Such is the magic influence
of the law !
EDNESDAY SESSION
A jury was sworn last evening in the case
of the Commonwealth vs Nicholas Lynn and
David Fouse, road supervisors of Lincoln twp.
The charge against them was that they neg
lected to repair a new piece of road near Cof
fee Run station, although they had been noti
fied frequently to do so by the prosecutor, Si
mon Cohn. The trial lasted all day and re
sulted in a verdict of guilty. The Court then
ordered the defendants to pay the costs and
suspended further sentence until the Novem
ber Term, advising Messrs. Lynn and Fouse
that they had better fix the road before that
time.
In the evening a most heart—rending case
was heard by the Court. Esq., Harper of Dub
lin Township had sued out a writ of Habeas
Corpus to regain possession of his daughter,
Grace Ilarper,who is at present in the posses
sion of her Aunt, Mrs. Stryker, of Alexandria.
Grace is only 4 years old. When one month
old her mother died and Mrs. Stryker offered
to keep the child, which was weak and sickly,
for one year free of charge. Esq. Harper con
sented. The year expired, and the child still
remained with its Aunt, yet no further con—
tract was made for its keeping. The chords
of maternal affection in the breast of the Aunt
began to entwine themselves about the girl,
who was now a fine healthy child, happy in
the love of a new mother andsurrounded with
all the comforts of a pleasant home on one of
the richest farms in the county. But when
Esq. Harper had remarried and was in posi
tion to offer his child an equally good home
under his own control, his heart also yearned
for the child of his loins. Under the law the
lather would be clearly entitled to the child,
unless lie had contracted to part with his con
trol of it or unless there were such circum—
stances in the case which the Court could
seize hold to exercise judicial discretion for
the better welfare of the child. But nothing
of the kind appeared in the case, and the child
was decreed to the father.
The evening session was closed by the tt.al
of the Reverend Albert Towser Heywood Tol
liver Bell, for assault and batteey upon John
Yaw. Both parties were colored and residents
of Huntingdon.
SILVER WARE STOLEN.—On Thurs
day night of last week, the residence of Col.
Wm. Dorris, corner of Fourth and Penn
streets, was burglariously entered, and silver
ware amounting in value to $75.00 carried off.
The articles stolen were three forks, one ladle,
eleven tea, five dessert and seven table spoons,
several of the pieces being over a hundred
years old and highly prized by the Colonel.
An entrance was effected through a back win
dow in the dining-room. At present writing
no clue has been obtained to the guilty party.

BROKE JAIL—THREE PRISONERS Es
CAPE FROM THE BELLEFONTE JAlL—Stewart
Walker one of them—The story of the flight and
recapture as told by Walker to a Reporter of the
Republican.—Last Thursday evening about 8
o'clock, our town was startled by the an
nouncement that Stewart Walker, the terror
of Stone Valley, and the Gallagher brothers,
who had been incarcerated for the larceney of
silver ware, had escaped from the Jail. The
news spread like wildfire, and measures were
immediately instituted for the recapture of the
fugitives. Sheriff Munson at once published
handbills which he posted through the town
and county offering a reward of $125 for the
apprehension of the thieves ; and the telegraph
was brought into requisition to hasten the
news to all points where information was like
ly to be needed. Officers were sent out in dif
ferent directions and every known strategem
resorted to to insure a speedy capture, which
was effected last Saturday morning about five
miles from Pine Grove Mills.
It will be remembered that Walker was ar
rested and imprisoned about three weeks since
for the theft at Rebershnrg of a valuable mare
belonging to State Senator Peale, that he sev
eral times successfully eluded the officers in
pursuit,
and that before his capture could be
effected be was shot with a rifle, the ball pas
sing through his left lung near the heart.
Last Monday evening a reporter of this pa
per visited Walker in his cell and gleaned the
story from the latter's own lips. We found
him reclining in a very comfortable position
upon his bed. At our salutation lie raised
himself to a sitting posture and gave us a cor
dial 'Good evening." lie is a man of medium
height, 23 years old. light hair, sandy mous
tache, bright, piercing dark eyes, fine build,
and altogether• a handsome young fellow. He
is a good talker, and narrates events with in
telligence and ease, as the following will
prove :
- Reporter—Mr. Walker, do you smoke (hand
ing him a cigar.)
Mr. Walker—Thank you, I do sometimes
(strikes a match and commences to smoke.)
R.—l suppose you feel quite at home to get
back again?
W.—Not particularly, as I hardly got cli
mated before.
R.—Do you feel any present inconvenience
rom your wound ? _ _
W.—lt pains me a little constantly - , and
never expect to be the man again that I was
before this misfortune.
R.-1 thought perhaps you might be able
and willing to give me some interesting par-
.iculars in - regard to your flight and reap
.ure ?
W.—Well, every body knows it, and I'm
willing they should. The game's up, and I
suppose if the Republican tells it everybody
will then know it. We had the run of the hall
h(re together, and concocted a plan of escape.
Taking advantage of the abs3llCe of the Sher
iff, we passed Into the dungeon, and then tore
out some small partitions which admitted us
to the cellar. Front thence we easily cut our
way through the floor into the kitchen, from
whence we bad only to walk out into the open
air and we were free men again. We jumped
the fences and proceeded in a southerly direc-
tion, but when I reached the Catholic ceme
tery I was obliged to rest on account of bleed
ing at the lungs, caused by overheating my
self and irritating my wound. With the as
sistance of my comrades, however, I succeed
ed in walking nearly all night, and the next
morning we came out on Nittaky mountain
only a couple of miles from Centre Hall. We
pressed on over into and across Penns valley
and struck Tussey mountain about three miles
from Boalsburg. This was Friday afternoon
and we bad had nothing to eat up to this time.
I was forced from exhaustation to go to a
house and buy something to eat. .We then
went on to within about three miles of Stone
Valley and about five from Pine Grove Mills,
in which location we found ourselves early
Saturday morning. My comrades being afraid
I again ventured to a house to buy something
to eat. I was so exhausted I did not care
much if I was recaptured, so that I got some
thing to eat. I went to the house about 7 o'-
clock in the morning. This proved to be the
house of a Mr. Miller, and after the woman
had given us our breakfast she went to the
field and told her husband that she believed
we were the parties advertised. Her husband
then came to the house, got his rifle and point
ed it at me, and at the same time called to a
neighbor near by who came to his assistarce.
I told them I was on a hunting excursion, but
they thought it was too thin a story, and read
the description of me to myself, when I said I
guessed it hit me pretty well. I tore away
from the two, when four other men came, and
soon I was surrounded by about fifty, arid
they then went and brought my comrades.
R.—Why did your comrades not escape du
ring this time?
W.—They declared they would not leave
me, and as a matter of honor stuck by me.
R.—Why did you not separate, order to
more effectually elude the officers 7
W.—Because I was unable to travel without
their assistance, as a good portion of the time
they were obliged to bolster me up between
them. And another reason was because I had
all the money with which to buy what we were
bound to purchase to eat.
In the afternoon of Saturday Mr. Miller and
his assistants drove into Bellefonte with the
prisoners in charge. They came in two light
wagons of three seats each, and made a form
idable guard for the convicts. The reward
was promptly paid and the prisoners prompt
ly re-incarcerated. Walker said he did not
intend to go home, but that the Pennsylvania
Railroad was his objective point. We left him
in comparatively good spirits, but reporting
frequent shortness of breath on account of his
wound. He rather expects to make his home
for a few years in Allegheny county. —Bell e -

PLEASURES IN A REPORTER'S LIFE.—
The World, in illustrating "a new form of
lunacy," sketches some of the pleasures at
tending the life of a faithful journalist when
he, either advertently or inadvertently, treds
on the toes of a class to be found in every
community. It says that the man who wants
a retraction is the thorn in an editor's flesh.
If a local item states that red-headed John
Slimkins who lives on Orange street was
arrested for drunkness, an irate man rushes
up to the office to demand an explanation to
the effect that no reflection is cast upon
Thomas I'limpkins of Lemon street, who has
black hair and drinks nothing stronger than
cider. If a reportor, in describing a street
fight mentions the fact that it took place near
"The House of Lords," the indignant proprie
tor of that establishment appears before the
editor, protesting that a slur upon the char
acter of his saloon is intended, and threaten
ing dire vengeance if an apology be not
offered as publicly as the insult to the effect
that the rioters got. their liquor at another and
altogether more disreputable groggery. ;f
the hapless journalist throws some humorous
incident into an impersonal form, he finds
that he has hit home in a score of places, and
he is accused of satirizing people of whose
existence he knew no more than the world
knew a month ago - of the village at the bottom
of Lake Leman. 'file invents fictitious names
to fill out a narrative, lie learns that there are
hundreds of people willing to assume the
rolls which he has ereatedafter the manner of
the disreputable schoolmaster who accused
Dickens of caricaturing them in the character
of Wackford Squeers. In fact, it seems to be
a common thing with certain half-educated,
thin-skinned and self-important persons to
imagine that the press is always discussing
them ; and generally they have no better
grounds for the supposition than Scrub, who
declared, "I think they talked of me, for they
laughed consumedly." When a fellow of this
kind has no other excuse for nagging at an
editor he is sure to appear as the champion
of his minister, his mother-in-law or his
daughter, and until the inventor of the Bogar
dus kicker contrives some small, cheap and
easily concealed but powerful petard by
which the man who seeks a retraction may be
blown at the moon, the life of the American
journalist will not be completely happy.
SORRENTO AND INLAID WORK; by
thur Hope. Price $1.50. J. B. Lippincott &
Co., Philadelphia.
Mr. Hope is.evidently a veteran in the art of
wood carving. He tells us that his first rude
attempts at scroll-sawing were made twenty
years ago with a roughly whittled saw frame,
fitted with a blade made from a watch spring,
in\vhich "teeth few and far between had been
unevenly and laboriously cut with a common
file."
The object of Mr. Hope's book is to furnish a
manual for all who are interested in scroll
sawing and carving, Loth beginners and ex
perts, and with this view, he has treated of
every branch of the subject, from woods and
their preparation on through the various
branches, to overlaying, inlaying, silhouettes,
etc. The book is illustrated with full page de
signs, many of them the choicest silhouettes,
the designs alone, if bought at retail, amount
ing to more than the price of the book. We
do not see how anything better than Mr.
1 Hope's little volume could well be prepared.
It is remarkably explicit, and yet remarkably
full in explaining and describing the very
things that the amateur worker most wishes
to knom, and being himself an enthusiast, he
can have little difficulty in awakening a cor
responding interest in others. The chapters on
overlaying and inlaying are the best we have
ever seen on the subjects, and contain instruc
tion to be found in no other form. Altogether
Hope's book is a gem, and no e.matenr
can afford to be without it.—Toledo Blade, Feb
ruary 8, 1877.

A Result of Obstructed Digestion.
Among the hurtful consequences ofobstructed
digestion, is the impoverishment of the vital
fluid which not only produces dangerous organ
ic weakness, but according to the best medical
authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia, it is
apparent that to improve the quality of the
blood by promoting digestion and assimilation,
is a wise precaution. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is precisely the remedy for this purpose,
since it stimulates the gastric juices, conquers
those bilious and evacuative irregularities
which interfere with the digestive processes,
promotes assimilation of the food by the blood,
and purifies as well as enriches it. The signs
of improvement in health in consequence of
using the Bitters are speedily apparent in an
accession cf vigor, a gain in bodily substance,
and a regular and active performance of every
physical function. [auglo-Im.

In nothing is the above mom illustrated than to the
course many pursue in certain kinds of discos, In order
to save a few cents they have what they call their own
prescriptions, such as Balsam Copabia, Turpentine, ia,
little knowing the t,aneful influence these drum; have us
the constitution, the disgusting smell from the breath,
and, with all these disadvantages, there is no Raving of
money, as the dose hrs to ho renewed over and over again
until at last the condition of the patient becomes alarm
ing: then other means have to be resorted to. Read the
words of a sufferer :
Desmond Sc Co., 915 Race Str.,t, Philadelphia : I appeal
to you, and if thern is iftiy earthly relief for me 1 wish
you would do something for me. Af,ait eight months ago
I got into trouble. I took capsules, w, n t to doctor., and
it b - ks coot me one lintelred dollars—first for this medi
cine, then for that—without any benefit. A few days ago
friend told me of the Samaritan's 11ift; he said it would
certainly cure mom. This is why I address you for advice.
Let the iibove be a warning to others. When you get
in trouble procure at once the Samaritan's Gift, and trop
will he all right in two or three days, fur remember the
bad effects that fellow the use ~f h owe injnriow drugs are
often worse than the original trouble. Priei—Male pack
