Circulation LARGER than any other
Paper in the Juniata Valley.
AN experienced traveller says : "After
a week's sojourn at the Grand Central
Hotel, I have no hesitation in saying that
it is the best and cheapest first class hotel
in New York."
THE English are still making immense
preparations for war. The presumption
is that Turkey has entered into an alliance
with England. We still think, however,
that the trouble will end without a fight.
TEX President's visit to Philadelphia,
the close of last week, was an affair that
did credit, alike to Philadelphians, and to
the Presidential office. The people of
Philadelphia are remarkable for their hos
pitality and social qualities, and they main
tained their reputation on this occasion.
The President and his retinue returned to
Washingdon delighted, we are assured,
with the marked respect shown them.
WE have received from the author, Mr.
F. E. Saward, a copy of his Annual Re
view, "The Coal Trade," giving facts and
figures for the year 1877. It forms the
fifth consecutive yearly review, issued from
the Office of the Coal Trade Journal, at
New York, of which that gentleman i s
the editor. Everyone in any way inter
ested or connected with the trade, will do
well to possess a copy of this valuable
publication. One hundred pages of facts,
in cloth, for one dollar, or fifty cents, in
paper covers. Address as above.
THZ confession of the Floridians did
not produce any political convulsion, in
fact it hardly created a ripple upon the
placid breast of the country at large. At
Washington there may have been a slight
commotion, but the wavelets scarcely visi
bly moved the waters beyond Silver Spring,
Maryland. The people of this great
country have settled down to the fact that
Rutherford B. Hayes is the legal and
equitable President of the United States,
and they will not encourage any violent
measures to oust him. That question is
settled.
THE absolute repeal of the Bankrupt
Law is a virtual admission on the part of
our statesmen that they cannot perfect a
bill that will not prevent sharks from get
ting the advantage of their creditors. This
is a humiliating confession, and we are
sorry that it became necessary to make it,
but so it is. There is no doubt that such
a law is absolutely necessary, but it re
quires to be hedged in with such strong
provisions that it cannot be converted in
to a vehicle of fraud instead of a most
righteous measure for the relief of the
truly unfortunate.
Tint rush of the bankruptcy court for
this district last week was wonderful.—
Nine petitions were filed on Monday, the
aggregate liabilities of which were $llO,-
600 ; on Tuesday twelve petitions were
filed, with liabilities of $350,000 ; on
Wednesday eight petitiocs, liabilities
$370,000 ; on Thursday twelve petitions,
liabilities $510,000 ; on Friday seven pe
titions, liabilities $146,000 ; on Saturday
seventeen petitions, liabilities $700,000,
making a total of seventy-nine petitions
and of $2,186,000 of liabilities. The total
assets' is infinitesimal compared with the
liabilities. Among the seventeen petitions
filed yesterday was that of Samuel W.
Groome, of Philadelphia, doing business
in Williamsport, with liabilities of $277,-
817.
SECRETARY SHERMAN.
We have, as our readers know, says the
New York Daily Graphic, spoken freely
as to the obstacle which seems to be in the
way 'of the complete realization of the
resumption scheme of the Secretary of the
Treasury. For instance, the bank of
France, at the time of officially returning
to specie payments, had in gold and silver
coin $404,805,000, against a circulation of
$520,300,000. This was exclusive of the
coin in the hands of the people, which is
always a very large amount in France.
The reserve of the bank available for im
mediate purposes of resumption was, there
fore; only twenty per cent. below the face
value of all its circulation. Our legal
tender circulation is about $350,000,000 ;
and we expect to have in the treasury,
available for purposes of resumption on the
first of January next, sl4o,ooo,ooo—that
is only forty per cent, of the face value of
our circulation. France, with large
amounts of coin in use in the country, had
in the vaults of the bank eighty per cent.
of the value of its paper circulation in
gold and silver; while the United States,
with very little coin in the hands of the
people, will attempt to resume on a coin
basis of forty per cent. of our paper circu
lation. This statement excludes all refer
ence to the National Bank notes which are
to be redeemed in legal tenders. If they
were to be provided for we would b e
attempting the task of retiring a circula
tion of $650,000,000 by means of $140,-
000,000 in gold and silver.
But whatever obstacles are . .in his way,
Secretary Sherman's energy and resources
and the eod he has in view are deserving
of the highest commendations. Should he
succeed in the great task that he has
undertaken and actually bring us back to
a specie basis—for paper that is inter
changeable with coin is for all practical
purposes coin—Secretary Sherman will
loom up as a very prominent candidate for
the Presidential nomination on the Repub
lican ticket in 1880. Nothing succeeds
like success. When a great task has been
successfully accomplished by a public man,
everything bat the supreme fact is forgot
ten and he is the favorite of the day-
Every one sincerely hopes that Mr. Sher
man may succeed in spite of fears well
founded and groundless. If he does,
whether he attains the Presidency or not,
he can rest in the consciousness that he
has performed the greatest service that it
was its the power of any one man to have
rendered to his country at this time.
BISHOP ANDREWS, of the New York
Methodist Conference, has decided that
the licensing of women as preachers is
against the doctrine of Wesley. The dis
appointed advocates of the new departure
have taken an appeal to the General Con
ference of Methodists of the whole country
in 1880.
- - EDITOR
A NEW HEARING.—Fitz John Porter
has obtained from the President an order
for the rehearing of his case. lie was
cashiered on the complaint of General
Pope for his behavior at the second battle
of Bull Run,in 1862, where he commanded
the Fifth Army Corps, and was accused of
failing to obey orders to attack the Con
federates and causing the loss of the field
by a precipitate retreat. His original trial
was before a court of eight officers, who
unanimously found him guilty. The sen
tence carried with it a penalty that he be
forever prohibited from holding office un
der the Government of the U. States.—
Porter appealed to Presidents Lincoln,
Johnson and Grant to give him a rehearing,
but they were so fully satisfied of his cul-
pability that he met with nothing but re
fusals. He now claims that be has evidence
from the Confederate side which will vin
dicate him.
THE COST OF EACCURACY.
Aa one expresses it, few readers, says
the Altoona Tribune,are duly aware of the
labor required to secure accuracy of state
ment in current news in the public journ
als. The work does ;not show. In the
preface or "Advertisement" to the first
edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson the
author says: "Were Ito detail the books
which I have consulted, and the inquiries
which I found it necessary to make by
various channels, I should probably be
thought ridiculously ostentatious. Let me
only observe, as a specimen of my trouble,
that I have sometimes been obliged to run
half over London in order to fix a date
correctly, which, when I had accomplished,
I well knew would obtain me no praise,
though a failure would have been to my
discredit." And this:is the sort of work
which journalists must do, not for one
period in a lifetime, to produce one great
work, but continuously, day by day, year
in and year out. And it is done, not for
a standard book which shall survive the
diligent author, but for the newspaper,
which in its day is more sought. it may be,
than any book, passes soon into the limbo
of things by the great multitude forgotten.
Yet those—historians and others---who
have to search the past can testify of what
exceeding value is the file of a carefully
conducted newspaper—carefully, princi
pally, for those things for which, as Bos
well says, "obtain no praise," but which
omitted would do not only contemporary
discredit, bat cause the memory of the
journalist to be odious to the antiquary by
him misled.
The Tariff Bill.
FRIENDS AND FOES OF THE MEASURE
ACTIVE.
There is much canvassing going on among
the friends and foes of the Tariff bill. Wood
still clings to his belief that the bill will pass
by a handsome majority. Whether this is mere
opinion, or based upon something more relia
ble and convincing, be does not state. He
claims about as much of a majority for the bill
as his opponents claim against it. The first
effort to give the probable caste the vote in
figures has been accomplished by Representa
tive Harmer, of Philadelphia. He shows a ma
jority of 21 against the bill. As he has given
the subject personal attention, and not figured
up from mere hearsay, his statement must be
somewhere in the neighborhood of the feeling
of the House. Mr. Harmer's figures are as

E. F. KUNKLE'S BITTER WINE OF IRON.
For the cure of weak stomach, general debility,
indigestion, disease of the nervous system,
constipation, acidity of the stomach, and all
cases requiring a tonic.
The wine includes the most agreeable and
efficient Salt of Iron we possess. Citrate of
Magnetic Oxide, combined with the most
energetic of vegetable tonics—Yellow Peruvian
Bark.
The effect in many cases of debility, loss of
appetite, and general Prostration, of an
efficient Salt of Iron combined with valuable
Nerve tonic, is most happy. It augments the
appetite, raises the pulse, takes of muscular
flabbiness, removes the pallor of debility, and
gives a florid vigor to the countenance .
Do you want something to strengthen you
Do you want a good appetite ? Do you want
to build up your constitution ? Do you want
to feel well ? Do you want to get rid of ner
vousness? Do you want energy? Do you
want to sleep well ? Do you want brisk and
vigorous teelings ? if you do, try Kuukel's
Wine of Iron.
This truly valuable tonic has been thorough
ly tested by all classes of the community, that
it is now deemed indispensable as a Tonic
medicine. It costs but little, purifies the
blood and gives tone to the stomach, renovates
the system and prolongs life.
I now only ask a trial of this valuable Tonic.
Price $1 per bottle. E. F. KUNKEL, Sole
Proprietor, Philadelphia, Pa. Ask your
druggists for Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron,
and take no other make. Sold only in $1
bottles. All others are counterfeit, so beware

The Last Postal Rulings.
The U. S. Post Office Department is con
ducted upon a well organized system, and the
rules for the government of officials and sub
ordinates throughout the country are uniform.
Inquiries are almost daily addressed to the
department upon subjects pertaining to the
transmission of mail matter and decisions giv
en. Some of the latest of these are appended
for general information.
The right given under Section 156 Postal
Laws and Regulations, to transmit "book
manuscript and corrected proof" through the
mails at less than letter rates does not apply
to manuscript designed for publication in
newspapers, periodicals or magazines. Such
matter is subject to postage at three cents for
each half ounce or fraction thereof.
2. A letter or a postal card, which has been
transmitted in the mail in accordance with
the address, may at the request of the address
ed, be forwarded to another post office without
payment of additional postage, provided the
same has not left the custody of the postal of
ficials. _
3. Letters once delivered at a designated
address, received and retained for some time
thereat, are considered as out of the jurisdic
tion of the Post Office Department, and when
again offered to be carried in the mails they
must be held to be new matter, subject to a
new rate of postage. The exhibition of a
written order to forward letters by a hotel
proprietor to a post master or letter carrier
should be accepted, and regarded by them the
same as an order made direct to a postmaster,
and upon a redirection of such mail, before a
complete delivery is made, the letter carrier
or postmaster receive it without additional
charge.
4. Mailable matter of third-class, upon which
postage is not fully prepaid, must not be for
warded, but must be held for postage.
5. It is the duty of a postmaster to refuse
to receive into the :nails packages known to
contain glass ; the manner in which it is wrap
ped or encased cannot be taken into consider
ation.
6. "Salve" is unmailable, and packages known
to contain such matter should not be received
into the mails.
7. Tooth-powder is unmailable
8. Private individuals cannot send any com •
munication in the mails free of postage, no
matter to whom it may be addressed.
9. When a firm places its business in the
hands of assignees, all letters addressed to the
firm should be delivered to the assignees.
10. The words, "please forward" on the ad
dress side of a postal card renders it namaila
ble, except at letter rates of postage.
11. Confectionery in any form is uumailable.
12. Eye-glasses are not mailable.
13. A mail carrier has not the right to carry
an unsealed communication outside the mail.
All written communications so carried must
be sealed in government stamped envelopes.
14. Soap is unmailable.
Clippings from State Exchanges.
Isaac Kees, an old and well known citizen,
died in the street at Chester yesterday morn
ing, from an appoplectic fit.
Joseph Bond, who fell from the tight rope
which he was walking while drunk at Cats
sauqua, has died.
A. M. Benton has been elected representa
tive delegate from WlCean county to the Dem
ocratic State Convention.
Father Anthony, who founded the Passion
ist Monastery in Pittsburg 25 years ago, died
in Dunkirk, N. Y., on Sunday. He left Pitts
burgh about a year ago.
The Potter county Nationals have elected
the following named delegates to the State
Convention : Representative delegate, Albert
Lyman ; Alternate, David White ; Senatorial
delegate, A. S. Barnes.
John Gariner, a married man, aged about
45 years, committed suicide at Reading on
Monday by shooting himself in the head wAth
a pistol. He leaves a wife and ono child. His
suicide was caused by intemperance.
Charles Shaw, proprietor of the Monocacy
station hotel, near Pottstown, has been be
queathed by his uncle, the late James Shaw,
of Middleton, England, a handsome fortune,
that gentleman's estate being valued at $150,-
000.
On Monday Dr. John M. Irvine, a promi
nent citizen of Sharon, died of heart disease.
Deceased was a brother-in-law of Justice Mil
ler, of the United States Supreme Court, and
was well known throughout this and adjoin
ing States as an eminent physician and enter•
prising citizen. He was about 63 years of age.
It has been discovered that one of the jury
which tried Dennis Donnelly, who was convic
ted of the murder of Thos. Sanger, and sen
tenced to be banged on the 22d inst., was
Henry Baumgartner, who was not a citizen at
the time, but only received his naturalization
papers in April subsequent to being a juror.
This, it is claimed, will interfere with the ex
ecution.
The verdict in the case of the Philadelphia
policeman, Boyer, who was killed in a collision
between a passenger car and Reading railroad
train, was reduced by the court last week from
$12,000 to $lO,OOO. The Philadelphia and
Reading railroad company demanded a new
trial because one of the jurors was not the
person drawn, but the court refused to grant
it.
A Debatable Question.
While much has been written concerning
the use of "put up" medicines, the question is
still an open one, and demands of the people
a careful consideration. The salient points
may be briefly stated, and answered as follows :
Ist—Are the sick capable of determining their
real condition, the nature of their malady, and
selecting the proper remedy or means of cure ?
2d—Can a physician, no matter how skillful,
prepare a universal remedy, adapted to the
peculiar ailments of a large class of people,
residing in different latitudes, and subject to
various climatic influences? In 'lamer to the
first proposition, we would say, diseases are
named and known by certain "signs" or
symptoms, and, as the mother does not need
a physician to tell her that her child has the
whooping-cough, or indicate a remedy, so
people when afflicted with many of the symp
toms concomitant to "impure blood," "torpid
liver," and "bad digestion," require no other
knowledge of their condition, or the remedy
indicated, than they already possess. Second
proposition—Many physicians argue that
diseases are sectionally peculiar, and that
their treatment must therefore vary, and yet
quinine, morphine, podophyllin, and hundreds
of other remedies arc prescribed in all countries
to overcome certain conditions. Is it not,
therefore, self-evident that a physician whose
large experience has made him familiar with
the many phases incident to all impurities of
the blood, general and nervous debility, liver
complaint, dyspepsia, consumption, and catarrh,
can prepare a series of remedies exactly
adapted to meet the conditions manifest,
wherever, and by whatever moans, it may
have been engendered ? The family medicines
prepared by R. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, N.
Y., fulfill the above requirements. Many phy
sicians prescribe them in their practice. His
Golden Medical Discovery has no eqtral as a
blood-purifyer and general tonic, while his
Favorite Prescription cures those weakness
peculiar to women, after physicians have fail
ed. His. Pleasant Purgative Pellets, which
are sugar-coated and little larger than mustard
seeds, are a safe and certain cure for "torpid"
liver and constipation. If you wish to save
money by avoiding doctors and keep or regain
your health, buy The People's Common Sense
Medical Advisor, an illustrated work of over
900 pages. It contains instruction concerning
anatomy, physiology, hygiene, and the treat
ment of disease. Over one hundred thousand
copies already sold. Price (post-paid), $1.50.
Address the author, R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffa
lo, New York.
The Antecedents of Disease.
Among the antecedents ofdisease are inert
ness in the ejaculation of the blood, an unna
turally attenuated condition, of the physique,
indicating that the life current is deficient in
nutritive properties, a wan, haggard look,
inability to digest food, loss of appetite, sleep
and strength, and a sensation of unnatural
languor. All these may be regarded as among
the indicia of approaching disease, which will
eventually attack the system and overwhelm
it, if it is not built up and fortified in advance.
Invigorate then, without loss of time, making
choice of the greatest vitalizing agent extant,

has given health and vigor to myriads of the
sick and debilitated, which is avouched by
