V> .A Week In The Mountains.—At the
'' , business meeting of the Editorial Asao
..Olatlon of Pennsylvania, In January last,
, it was determined to try the experiment
i' r }.bf a Summer meeting and an excursion.
' Williamsport was named as the place,
./and Wednesday, Juno I4th, fixed ns the
, time. -
SiV-''.;bpe of’ the most delightful rides In’the
ls that along the winding banks
?yfep|tj.tbe Susquehanna--" the long crooked
s,l(ji£fser ” as its Indian name signifies. It
: Vfas in the afternoon, and the"sun.rode
uv . over'.the forest-crowned blufls
-;blt'the western side of the river. Occa
sionally a threatening cloud throw a
; [ shade over the landscape, and
•t -itheUi again the gunllght fell tn slant!lift
upon ther water at our'feet, and
v made each wavelet sparkle as If it held a
'■ Jewel In lls crest. The water In thp river
was low, amT the fresh green islands,
Which sprang up out of the river-bed,
' added to the charming beauty of the scene.
, iiVe'were soon satisfied that the excursion
would be a success in point of numbers,
■• for editors with their wives and daugh
ters got aboard the train at almost every
railway station.
■ When we reached Williamsport, ao
commodalioiis were readily secured at
. the Herdic House, one of the handsomest,
-:;iliiipgoDv>aleatl; arranged and best
regulated hotels in the United States. It
beautifully located in the midst of a
of forest trees—half way between
•r - the greeu hills and the river—and within
: ; fifty yards of the railway station, where
\ admirable regulations for the safety and
dOonVenience of travelers are carried out
with military precision. The present
proprietors of the Herdic House, Messrs.
. Schofield and Barry, formerly of the Con
tinental Hotel in Philadelphia, by their
excellent management, courteous de
meknorand kindly attention to the wants
of guests, will undoubtedly increase the
popularity of the Herdlo House, already
so ' favorably known throughout the
country. 1
-On Wednesday morning, that public*
. spirited and attUble gentlemau. Peter
' iierdlc, Esq., to whom Williamsport owes
. abgreat a share of its prosperity, tendered
the excursionists a boat ride on the river.
.'-'■ffis were conveyed from the Herdlo
' House to the river in carriages, and
'.i there embarked on three small steam*
... boats* Mr. and Mrs. Bterdlc joined the
’ and took great pleasure in
designating points of interest and beauty
the route. Of course we saw the
. - “b.00m,” for It is u statutory offense In
Williamsport to leave the city without
paying your respects to , tiro “ boom.’’—
. To-underatand what “the boom” is, a
-:fev;words of explanation are necessary,
-rouping the Summer and Fall the ium
berman in the hills of northern Penn
sylvania and New York cut the timber,
and as soon as snow, falls in sufficient
.quantity, they clear away the under
brush and stumps, and make a “slide”
they slide the lumber down
. fro nit he hillsides to the mountain water
Opdrses. There the logs are -branded
with; the registered proprietary mark of
thelc'respeotive owners, and when the
spring freshets come they are cast into
these raouataln streams, and find their
.. ,j -■ - *•
way,’to the Susquehanna, and thence
float down the stream to Williamsport,
Where they are safely lodged In the boom.
The boom consists of a series of stone and
JOgYpiers, running nearly parallel with
' til(fwestern bank of the river for two or
throe miles, and then across to the eas
. tern bank, with a mpveable “ draw ” for
. thcfpassage of boats, Between the piers
' dogs, fastened together with
Irqa.olamps, and held in their places by
heavy iron chains, fastened to the piers,
and long enough to permit the logs
to rise and fall with the water level;
Beneath the wooden framework are ioug
Iron hooka which prevent the logs from
“ducking” under, when they are caught
In their course down the stream. The logs
are taken outof the lower end of the boom
by men employed for the purpose, and all
thelumber bearing thes ame mark is rafted
together by ropes passed through irou
staples driven into the logs at cither end;
and these temporary rafts ore then towed
to a lifting mill,, whei'e the logs are
taken out of the water on iron cars, up
an inclined plain, and carried to the
ponds where they belong. There they
lie until they are needed, and then they
are hauled up by a similar iron car,
thrown on to a “ gang” running from
half a dozen to a dozen parallel saws, and
. In passing through the mill once the tree
da sawed into a pile of boards. Some of
these mills saw two'hundred and fifty
■ thousand feet of lumber every twelve
dionrs, and are so many of them that
they extend up and down the river a
■distance of live or .six miles. Williams
„ sport has become the great lumber mart
•of Pennsylvania,, and its hundreds of
handsome private residences attest that
the truffle is a profitable one.
At four o’clock in the afternoon the as
‘soplation. met in Elliott's Academy of
.Music, °uo of the neatest little opera
' houses'in the State. An address of wei
oome was delivered by the mayor of the
dity, who tendered the members of the
association a cordial invitation to attend
ai public reception at his bouse, in com
pany with, the Medical Association of
Pennsylvania, which was likewise in
session at Williamsport. The address of
welcome was responded to by the presl
dontof the Association, Henry G. Smith,
. Esq., of the Lancaster Intelligencer , who
subsequently called the convention to
drifter in a few neat and appropriate re
marks. An interesting addresson “News
papers,” evincing considerable research,
and containing much valuable informa
tion concerning the history of newspaper
printing, was then delivered by J. L.
Bingwalt, Esq., of the Philadelphia
Evening Telegrqph; and a poem written
by;Mr. Williamson, who was uuavoida
; bly absent, was read by Eugene Mundy,
of the Proof Sheet, ' ,
■The event of the day was the grand
banquet at the Herdio House in the even
ing;; The guests—to the number of a
hundred and sixty ladies aud gentlemen
• -r-asqembled in the spaoious parlors of the
hotel, and shortly after eight o’clock pro
... needed to the dining-room. After the
bountiful repast had been thoroughly

the following toasts were proposed and
responded to:

After the dinner a dance was Inaugur
ated In the ball room of the hotel, which
was participated In by the excursionists
and a number of ladies aud gentlemen of
Williamsport.
Shortly after seveu o’clock, on Thurs
day morning, the excursion train started
for Watkins, a hundred miles north. For
miles we pass through a tugged moun
tain country which would possess but few
attractions for our Cumberland Valley
farmers. Twenty miles north of Elmira,
at the head of Seneca Lake, is the town
of Watkins—a thriving borough of three
thousand inhabitants. Passing through
the main street of tire village, aud turn
ing to the right where a bridge crosses
a mountain stream, we come suddenly
to the entrance of Watkins Glen—one of
tho greatest natural
lea. The first impression made upon our
minds was that it was entirely different
from what we expected and from any
thing we bad ever seen before. ( We bad
been walking along the level street, and
a sudden turn brought us face to face with
a frowning battlement of rook several
hundred feet high—through which there
was a narrow opening, spanned by a
rustic stairway and bridge. We had
looked in our Webster aud found that a
glen was a depression or space between
the hills, but this gave us no idea what to
expect at Watkins Glen. It is as If a vast
bill, varying in height from a hundred
and fifty to three or four hundred feet,
bad been rent asunder by some convul
sion of nature, and the solid walls of
rook separated from each other a distance
varying from thirty to a hundred feet. —
This gorge extends through the bill a
distance of five miles, not In a straight
line, but in all sorts of varying curves
and angles, presenting a succession of
constantly, changing scenes which be
wilder the mind by their wild beauty
and striking contrasts. The walls on
either side sometimes rise perpendicular
ly, again slope backwards, and again al
most . meet overhead. Throughout the
entire length of the glen there flows a
noisy little stream—so clear that a small
pearl shirt-button can be seen at the
depth of five or six feet, in the basins the,
water has worn for itself but of the solid
rock, . At every step this stream presents
some new attraction—now leaping over
the rocks and breaking into feathery
foam—now plunging into a stone fun
nel and almost disappearing.from view,
to emerge again, far below, fretted and.
fuming from the obstructions in. its
pathway—ever and anon whirling around
in stone basins;—or spreading out into a
broad, smooth surface, as in the Glen'
Cathedral, and flowing on without a,
murmur. Then there are half a dozen
other little springs, dashing down from
the mountain top, and taking, all sorts of
fantastic shapes. After you get fairly
into the glen, and are cut off from the
outer world, With nothing fainlliaMn
view except the little strip of blue sky
above your head, the feeling which takes
possession of your.mind is not so much
that of admiration ns of dread. At the
entrance to Glen Alpha nature seems to
have tried to make herself hideous and
unnatural. You feel as ifyou were in the
presence of some monstrous deformity
never intended for mortal eyes. The
very insecurity of your pathway lends
the charm of adventure to the toilsome
clambering up the glen . Now you pass
along a shelving rook; where a slip of
;he foot would land you on the rooks or
in the water thirty feet below—now you
cross a rustic bridge which sways to and
fro to your footsteps—now you climb up
the face of the rook with the aid of irou
braces to cling to with the hands, and
foptsteps chiseled .in the stone. But
strange to say there have been no serious
accidents. One of our party fell into the
stream, and got a good wetting, but suff
ered uo further damage.
Looking up towards the clouds, at the
end of Glen Alpha, you see the Glen
Mountain House, perched like a bird box
among the trees, hundreds of feet over
head ; iftid after a ten minutes climb up
a dizzy stairway, you reach the hotel, at
the top of the mountain. Here the ex
cursionists partook of a bountiful dinner
provided by E- B. Parsons, the gentle
manly proprietor, of the Glen, under the
direction of Joshua Jones, the superin
tendent of the Mountain House—and
washed down the solids with some delic
ious sparkling champagne, manufactured
by the Pleasant Valley Wine Company,
which la one of the largest grape grow
injj companies in the United states, one
of its vineyards alone covering six thou
sand acres.
After leaving the Mountain House,
you pass along above Glen Obscura,
which is well named, for as you gaze
down into its depths you see nothing but
the blackness of darkness. Then you
emerge into Glen Cathedral, the wails of
which circle around, on either side; with
great regularity, to the height of one
hundred and thirty or one hundred and
fifty feet, and are aurra.ounted'by a few
scattered pine trees, which from below
look like so many gothic spires. The
surface over which you walk is paved by
11 at ure)with large elate flags, laid as level
as a church floor. At the farther end
the stream comes dancing down, and
tahefi to itself the shape of an altar. Here
ail is quiet and solemn, like the ruins of
some grand old cathedral; and even the
running water is bushed to silence.
Then came a scene which Impressed us
more forcibly than any other in the glen.
A little mountain stream, dropping from
somewhere near the skies, after making,
several plunges in the hills above, final
ly dashes over a shelving rock, a perfect
cascade of spray. We passed under this
shelving rock, and just at four o’clock
the sun peeped down the ravine, through
a narrow opening in the overhanging
cliffs, and at our feet a gorgeous rainbow
spanned the chasm and lighted it up in
to marvelous beauty. Never in nature
or in art have we seen such a wondrous
transformation. Surely this is some
fairy dell, and these are mischievous
olv.'S, with a glorious halo around them,
sprinkling each other with flashing dia
monds, aud laughing and shouting with
irrepressible glee. The dripping water
fails upon your head and shoulders, and
splashes you to the knees, the blinding
spray dashes into your face, but no one
is likely to move until tht cry comes:—
“ Move on there—others want to see as
well as yourself.” A wealthy gentleman
of New York, who visited the glen last
summer, was so enraptured with the
rainbow fulls that ho has employed a
prominent artist to paint the scene for*
him, for ten thousand dollars.We saw
the artist at his work, and if he succeeds
iu transferring the view to canvas, he will
do more tymn any artist has ever done
before.
There are other scones of rare beauty
iu the glen, but wo must return to the
hotel, for a ride on tho lake has been ton*
dered tho excursionists! and we would
nob miss it for anything. Passing from
tho mountain House up Lake View Av
enue to the summit of the hill, wo roach
Prospect Point, and hundreds of feet
beneath us lies a panoramic view of sur
passing loveliness* Tho blue waters of
Seneca lake, bordered with green forests,
stretch away as far as the eye can reach.
The houses in tho village are almost bid
den In the foliage, while around ua are
handsome and costly monuments to de
parted' worth. The ride on the lake was
a success, though tho evening was un
comfortably cold. The Watkins
entertained theexoursionistß with prince
ly hospitably. A committee of reception
was appointed, hotels and private resi
dences were thrown open, carriages were
furnished for those who wished to ride,
and every thing was freely aud generous
ly tendered. We. met one gentleman
who was terribly distressed because he had
been in Watkinsall day, and hadn’tsuo-.
ceeded in spending ten cents. The two

Brook House and the Jefferson House. —
We left Watkins feeling that our time
had beeu too short to do the Glen justice.
Description Is utterly inadequate to por
tray,its wonders, and if our want
to know what it looks like, they must go
themselves, and make arrangements to
stay a week when they are there. Tn
doing so they will not And themselves
alone, for over twenty-five thousand
persons visited the Glen last season, and
the number will doubtless be doubled
during the present summer.
As Watkins was filled to overflowing,
it was found necessary to send ten coup
les to Elmira to pass the night. Being
one of the party, we put up at the Rath
bhn. house, and were haudaomly enter
tained. The gentlemanly proprietor, Mr.
H. S. Wadsworth, took us outdriving to
Eldridge Park, and through the principal
streets. The park contains a natural
lake and a number of baudsome pieces of
statuary. The city lies In a
or five miles wide, surrounded by wooded
hills. Towards noon we weire picked up
by the excursion train, and proceeded to
Minnequa Springs, iu Bradford county,
where dinner was awaiting us and our
“Sawbones” friends, who had come up
on an excursion from Williamsport that
morning. The wateis at Minnequa are
said to possess wonderful curative prop
perties, and the location is iu the moun
tains, where the thermpmeter generally
ranges about ten degrees lower than at
Williamsport. In fact w.e found it un
comfortably cold in the open air ; but a
douce-was Inaugurated iu the .evening,
which warmed the party up, and they
“ tripped the light fantastic ” until the
train arrived at, twelve o’clock, which
carried a large portion of the party off to
their homes-and ended the excursion;—
Messrs. Schofield & Barry, of the Herdic
House, are the lessees of Minnequa. We
left Miuuequa at half past seven on Sat
urday morning, and reached Carlisle, at
three In the afternooni satisfied that the
’first summer meeting of the Pennsylva
nia Editorial Association-was a grand
success—thanks to the indefatigable efT
orts and admirable executive tact.of the
Secretary of the Association, R. 8,
Menamiu, of tho Philadelphia Printera }
Circular , who was the originator of the
project, and deserves the entire credit of
its successful execution.
We desire to make public acknowledg
ment of the kindness of George J. Ball,
Assistant General Passenger Agent of
the Pennsylvania railroad, and A. R.
Fiske, Superintendent of the Northern
Control Bailway, who issued the general
excursion tickets, and arranged the run
ning of the trains to suit the convenience
of the excursionists; and also Col. O. N.
Lull, for excursion tickets over the Cum
berland Valley Eoad.
Robberies.—On Wednesday night
last, some person broke into the dwelling
and store of Adam Dysert, on East Lea
ther street, and stole therefrom three
pair of boots, a pocket book containing
three or four dollars, and a shawl- The
robbery was not discovered until the next
morning, and of Course the thief escaped
detection.
On Sunday night, as one of the young
ladies in attendance at the Mary Insti
tute, was about to retire, and had turned
out the gas, she discovered a man sitting
on a ledge beneath the window, and at
once gave the alarm- The man jumped
down and ran down through the yard,
leaving behind, in bis baste, bis boots
and coat, which he bad taken off before
climbing up the trellis work which led
to the second story. 'On the Saturday
previous, the young lady alluded to re
ceived a cheek from home, and was on
the way to bank to get It cashed, when
she met one of our. merchants, with
whom she was accustomed.to deal,’and
who waa also on the way to bank. He
told her she needn’t go to the bank, aud
taking his bank book paid her sixty or
seventy dollars, the amount of the cheek,
while standing on the sidewalk. She
thereupon returned to the seminary,
went to her room, where she could read
ily have been seen from the street, and
lucked the mqney up, and the individual
whose plans were frustrated, was doubt
less some oue who had witnessed the
transaction referred to.
On Thursday night last, some one en
tered the bouse of Capt. John Wallace,
in stole therefrom a pooket
book, oonlainingover s22o—two one hun
dred dollar bills, two ten dollar bills, and
some small notes. These were taken
from Mr. Wallace’s pantaloons pocket,
in bis sleeping room. The robbers- then
went to the sitting room, where they ob
tained a watch and a shawl.
On the same nighty burglars entered
the house of Dr. Brim, in Newvllle, and
stole the Doctor’s best coat and a pooket
book containing $2O. Neither of the
families discovered the robberies until
next morning.
Police Items. —A dozen fine chickens
were stolen from .the coop of Andrew B.
Zeigier, corner of Louther and Bedford
streets, one night last week.
A lot of “Bossy” Wetzel's chickens
were stolen from his farm, in North Mid
dleton township, last week,
Ann Cooper, (colored) was arpested by
Constable Sauno, and committed for
stealing four or five dollars from Lizzie
Humes.
Funny and Mary Hopp were arfesfed
by Officer Sanno, for assault on John
Heckman with a butcher knife.
John Boney was committed for disor
derly conduct.
A German named Gaesht took posses
sion of the stable in the occupancy of
James Duhyan, and when Dunyau came,
ran him out. Gaesht was arrested by
Constable ean'no and committed to pris
on.
'*Jaok Scott (colored), was arrested, last
Friday, for threatening to kill a man
named Reed with a butcher knife.
A man named Mitchell, who works at
Smeltzs* Coaoh Factory, got on a rampago
and cleared the establishment. He was
arrested by Officer Sanno and committed
to prison.
i)KOWNED.— ,About two o'clock on last
Thursday afternoon, as A. D. Bepman, of
New Cumberlarid, was returning from his
labors, at the Baldwin Steel Works, he
discovered the body of a man lying In
the river, In close proximity to the wes
tern bank of Hine’s Island. He called
on Mr. Hlne, who was at work oloiie by,
for assistance, and the two proceeded to
remove the body from the water, discov
ering at a glance that the unfortunate
individual was Harry Powell, of Hew
Cumberland. The sad news was Imme
diately communicated to his frlbnds in
that place, who hastened at once to the
scene of the accident. Dr. T. \V. Hoop
made every possible edort to restore ani
mation. but the vital spark had fled, and
no human agency could call it back* The
deceased was for many years afflicted
with epilepsy, contracted in early life
from an attagk of'scarlet fever, in its
mostmalignnntforin.Ashohail.loft-hla.,
ho'me, a few hours before, to fish In the
river, - it.is supposed he had afibaud fell
Into the water. Ho was an exemplary
Christian and a good citizen.
There seems now to be ho doubt that
the railroad from Shireraaustown to Dll.ls
burg will be built. At a the
Miramar Railroad Company, at Newvllle,
it was resolved ‘‘That the Miramar Iron
Company will first complete and put In
running condition their road from some
point east of Bhireraanstown, via Mill
town to Dlllsburg. Provided, that the
subscription of 560,000 from Dlllsburg
and vicinity, and the subscription "of
$20,000 from Milltown and vicinity, arc
guaranteed to the company.” -
Benefits and Importance op Life
Insurance.— I The importance of securing
a policy of life insurance to a man who
wishes to make some certain provision
for bis widow, or family, in the event of
his death, can hardly be over-estimated.
In these daysof business fluctuations, the
rich man T>f to-day* is often the poor
man of to-morrow." -To insure one’s life,
then, is the highest exorcise of worldly
wisdom. Illustrations are often better
than arguments. Let the following card,
then, speak in favor of the “ Charter
’Oak,” represented'hero by their energet-*
Ic and gentlemanly agent, J. C. Stock :

cherished hopes may be fully gratified.
The vacation will continue for about
eight weeks.
Pio-Nio at Sporting Hill.—A so
cial plc-nic will be held at Sporting Hill,

Some young ladies and gentlemen went
out to the creek, on Saturday, and while
taking a boat ride, the boat was upset and
the entire party were spilled into the
water* Fortunately they all escaped with
nothing more serious than a good .“ duck

Haying and Harvesting.— Huyirig
and harvesting come olose together this
year, bo that the labors of the farmer will
bo somewhat mixed, and the reapers and
mowers will be cutting their way through
the fields at the same time. This will
make things, with our farmers, decidedly'
interesting. The rich and abundant char
acter of the crops, however, will fully
compensate him for all his toils. Judging
from the accounts we have, from every
section, our grain crop will be almost
unprecedented in quality and quantity;
and the same may be said of everything
else, with, perhaps, the exception of the
grass. Potatoes are growing fast and are
unusually flue, and the corn, It is said,
promises well.
Dangers of Unripe Fruit,— Parents
cannot be too careful about.aliowlng their
children to eat unripe fruit, which will
soon be plenty, and which is so tempting
to the little ones. And it Is particularly
dangerous after eating green trash to
drink heartily of water. Children are all
alike in this respect, and it behooves pa
rents and those who have charge of them
to exercise n great deal of firmness abd
judgment in regard to what the children
eat during hot weather. The physicians
say that much of the sickness prevalent
among children is caused by the lack of
Judgment or care on the part of parents.
The month of July is to have t iro full
moons.
“ Leafy June.”—The gladdest month
of the whole year, the sweet, smiling
month of roses Is with us. Let us re
joice. , There is no other time so jbyoug
as this, wfceu summer puts her gayest
garments on, and with the freshness-of
spring not yet departed, steps forward in
&11 the georgousness of hersummer attire.
If you would admire beauty, such as Ails
the soul with the most exquisite glad
ness, go forth Into the country one of
these bright, beautiful, Juno days; look
at the Helds covered with their soft car
pets of green velvet, piioli ns art can
scarcely imitate. See the forest clothed
In leafy robes of unapproachable loveli
ness, as though Omnipotence had put
forth its mightiest efforts to charm the
eye and delight the senses. And then
the roses, those queens of the floral king
dom, they are peculiarly fine this beau
tiful mouth. How they fill the soul with
visions of beauty and loa'J tbe-alr-wltli .
their measureless perfume. And, ns If
field, forest and garden were not enough
oorpwu tbeir favorite month with all the
gifts tiiat beauty could bestow, the feath
ered denizens of the forest, the beautiful
and sweet-voiced birds, add their glad
musib to the exquisite charms of the
scene.
Nature puts forth her supremeat efforts,
to fill, the world with rare beauty and
sweet song, and in this glorious month
man has only to open his heart and let the
lowliness, the fragrance and the harmony
enter there. No season of the year offers
such opportunities to develop the higher
and finer sentiments and sympathies of
our nature, and he who can suffer this
glorious season to pass without rendering
thanks for existence and'ail Its accompa
nying joys,
" la fit for treason, stratagem and spells.”
General Laws.— Quite a number, of
general laws were passed by our last Le
gislature, some of which are of especial
interest to citizens of almost every local
ity. We annex the titles of some of the
most important ones :.
An act to prevent changes in school
books by school directors ofteber than
once In three years.

Painful Accident. —The Gettysburg
Compiler of the Oth'. inst. says : We hear
of n strange and painful accident, in the
•township of Fran klin, not far from Cash
town, a few days ago. A young man of
the naine of Kendei, employed on their
farm by Messrs, Levi & David Schwartz,
was engaged, with one of his employers
In cutting down a large free. Whilst
failing, the tree lodged against another,
and In trying to clear the way for it to
reach the ground,young Kendei fell some
distance upon the stump of a broken sap
ling, its long and rough splinters.pene
trating his body under the shoulder. Ho
was so firmly impaled as to require all
Mr. Schwartz’s strength to relieve him.
At last accounts Kendel’s condition was.
considered critical, thiere being ground
for the fear that the splinter had pene
trated his.lungs..
. Unpatented Lands.—Among the
general laws passed by the last legislature
and approved by the Governor, is the fol
lowing, which is of importance to owners
of unpatented lands. We understand that
efforts were made to,modify its provisions,
but without success, from which it is veiy
evident that It is the policy of the State
to have this long unsettled business clos
ed up as speedily as possible:
Be it enacted , That the board of
property shall have full and discretionary
power as to the time of entering suits,
and the number thereof, to be brought
for the collection of liens against unpat
ented lands, and the Attorney General
shall proceed under the seventh section
of the said act,' to which this is n further
supplement, when authorized to do so by
the said board : Provided, That no inter
est shall be charged on pateut or other
fees.
Those highly virtuous individuals who
send money to the New York “Sawdust”
swindlers in the hopeof receiving a return
of counterfeit bills, are likely to come to
grief. These letters are to be retained
and opened at the New York post,office,
and the name of the’ writer forwarded to
the postmaster where written, and with
instructions to post it conspicuously in
the office with a statement of the facts.
The idea is a good one, and if carried out
borne rich developments may be expected.
The man who is mean enough to buy
counterfeit money with the intention of
passing it upon unsuspecting neighbors,
is mean enough to steal bis neighbor's
sheep, If ho thought he would not get
found out, and it is right that the public
should be informed of his intention.
Time for Cutting Wheat.—The best
time for cutting wheat is when the grain
has acquired the consistency of etifl
dough, and cun be kneaded between the
thumb and forelinger. Grain so cut Is
plump an d heavy. Left until it is entire
ly ripe, it shrinks, and there is more loss
from shattering of the seed, and from
broken heads. Moreover, it has Ueeh
proven by repeated experiments that
wheat cut before 'it is fully ripe will
yield SO per cent, more flour than the
same grain will produce when dead ripe.
- Light hay crops in ~ the country for
want of rain, but wheat is said to look
well generally and promise a fair result
In harvest.
Fishing parties depart almost daily for
the localities where trout are to be ob
tained.
Spring chickens are the prevailing
delicacy, and the epicures are regaling
themselves.
During the present month we gain but
eight minutes of day light-. The twenty
third is the longest day, and after that
the nights commence lengthening.

Carlisle, Pa., December 2, 1870.
Dr. C. M, Evans,
Dear Sir; In the year 1857 I was
attacked with Dyspepsia. From that time until
the year 18tU I continued graving worse, and
wds reduced from a strong and 1 healthy man to
n more living skeleton, weighing but lIP pounds.
During thbso four years 1 had the attention of
the most.celebrated physicians' In Now York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. 1 also visited the
watering places, and tried eVeiyremedy I could
hear of for the cure of Dyspepsia, without ex
periencing any relief whatever, and I finally In
despair gave up all hope of being cured, and re
turned homo with the feeling that death alone
could alleviate ray sufferings. In this extremi
ty, at the urgent solicitation of ray wife, X began
the use of “HOOPLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS/
although with no more faltn In its ofllcacy than
I had in preparations previously tried.
After using four bottles of the Bitters, to my
surprise f felt I was Improving. My food tasted
well, and there was a very marked change for
the better. I continued the use of the Bitters
until I had taken sixteen bottled, and then, to
my Inexpressible gratification I found roysolf
perfectly cured.
Since that happy termination of my affliction
I have not bought fifty cents worth of medlcluo
of any kind, and to*day I weigh two hundred
and two pounds.
I make this statement voluntarily, and hun
dreds of the residents of the Cumberland Valley
who know my condition will vouch for It. lam
satisfied 1 was thoroughly and permanently
cured by.tho use of HOOt'LAND r 8 GERMAN
BITTERS, and I take especial pleasure In rec

D ldy position pecuniarily is so well known-to

making this statement for pay My only mo
tive Is to inform all who may bo sulferlng as I
did of the wonderful cure performed In my case.

gone to my grave lung ago.

QNE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.
it Is ono of tho remarkable facts of this re
markable ago. not merely that so many nersons
are the victims of dyspepsia or Indigestion, but
its willing victims, Now, wo would not bo un
derstood to say that any'ouo .regaids dyspepsia
with favor, or feels disposed to rank It among
the luxuries of life. Fat irom It. Those who
nave experienced us torments woujd scout such
an idea. 'All dread It. and would gladly diapemo
with Its unpleasant familiarities. Mark Topley 1
who was Jolly under all the trying circumstan
ces In which he was placed, never nud an attack
ot dyspepsia, or his Jollity would have speedily
forsaken him. Men and women sometimes
suffer Its tortures uncomplainingly, but whoev
er heard of a person who enjoyed them ?
Of all the multifarious discuses to which the
human system Is liable,there Ik perhaps no one
so uonoraliy prevalent us dyspepsia. There are
diseases more acute and puiumi, and which
more frequently prove fatal, but none, the ef
fects of wuich are so depressing tp theniind and
so positively, distressing to the oody. If there Is
a wretched being In the world It is
A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
But it Is uotourlutcntlon to dlscautoulbe hor
rors of Dyspepsia. To describe them truthfully
is simply an uupoiislbllUy, but It Is possibly to
point out a remedy.. Wo nave said that dyspep
sia is perhaps the most universal of human dis

Nearly every other person you meet Is a vic
tim, an apparently willing one, forworo thlsnot
tho case, why bo niady f uilerers, when a certain,
speedy and safe remedy is within iho easy
reach of all who desire to avail themselves of It?
But the majority will not. Blinded by preju
dice, or deterred by some other unexplained in
fluence, they refuse to accept tho relief profer
ed them.- They turn a deaf ear to tho testimony
of tho thousands whoso suderlugs have been al
leviated, and with strange Infatuation, appear
to cling with dtsperuto determination to their
ruthless tormentor. But says a dyspeptic;
What is this remedy? to which wo reply: This

none other than
Dr. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.
Would yVju know more of tho merits of this
wonderful medicine than can bo learned from
tho experience of others ? Try it yourself, and
when it has fulled to fulfil tho assurance of its
elllcacy given by the proprietor, then abandon

LET IT BE REMEMBERED,

uol a rum beverage.
They are not alcoholic in auy sense of the
term. They are composed wholly of the pure
Juice or vital principle of roois, This is not a
mere assertion. The extracts from which they
are compounded are prepared by one of the
ablest German chemists. Unlike any other
Bitters In the market, they are 'wholly free from
spirituous ingredients. The objections which
hold with so much force against preparations of
this class, namely—that a desire lor lutoxlcatfng
drinks Is stimulated by iholc use, are not valid
la the cose ol the German Blturs. So far from
encouraging or mculutiug a’Vtaste or desire for
Inebriating coverages, It may bo confidently as
sorted that thelr.tendoucy Is in a diametrically
opposite direction.- Their effects can bo

In all cases of the biliary system. Hoofland’s
German Bitters stand without uu equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon UioLivor, they
remove its torpidity and cause healthful secre
tion of bile—thereby supplying tbo stomach
with tho mosi Indispensable elements of sound
digestion In proper proportions. They give tone
to tho-stomuch-stlmujaiing its functions, grid
enabling it to perform no duties as nature de
signed it should-do. They impart v.gor and
strength to the entire system, causing- tbo pa
tient to feel like another being—in fact, giving
him a new lease of life.
THEY PURIFY THE BLOOD.

ties aud supplying them with the elements of
genuine heulthluluess. In a word, there is
scarcely a disease In which they cannot he
safely and beneficially employed; but lu that
most generally prevalent distressing and dread
ed disease, Dyspepsia,
THEY STAND UNRIVALED.
Now, there are certain classes of persons to
whom extreme Bitters are not only unpalata
ble,but-who And it Impossible to take them
without positive dlscomiort. For such
DiU HOOFLAND’S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. It Is Intended for
use where a slight alchohol stimulant Is requir
ed In connection With the well-known Tonic
properties of the pure German Bitters. This
Tonic contains all the Ingredients of the Blttert,
but so flavored as to remove the extreme bitter
ness. This preparation -is not only palatable,
but combines,'ln modified form, all tbo virtues
of tbo German Bitters. The solid extracts of
some of Nature’s choicest restoratives are held
In solution by a spirituous agent ot the purest
quality. In cases of languor or excessive debil
ity, where the system appears to have become
exhausted of |ts enengles,
HOOFLAND’S TONIC
acts with almost marvelous effect. It not only

but Invigorates ana pormanetly strengthens Its

But Dr. Hoofland’s benefactions to the human
race are not confined to his celebrated
GERMAN BITTERS,
or his invaluable Tonic. Ho has prepared an
other 'medicine; wolch Is rapidly winning its
way to popular favor because of its ’intrinsic
merits. This is
HOOPLAND’S PODOPHYLLIN PILLS.
a perfect substitute for mercury, without any of
mercury's evil qualities.
These wonderful Pills, which are intended to
act upon the Liver, are mainly composed of
Podophyllln, or tho
VITAL PRINCIPLE OP THE MANDRAKE
ROOT.
Now we desire the reader to distinctly under
stand that this extract of the Mandrake Is many
times more powerful thaa the Mandrake itself.
It Is the medicinal virtues of this health-giving
plant In a perfectly pure and highly concentra
ted form. Hence It Is that two of the Podopbyl
iln Pills constitute a full dose, while anywhere
six to eight or a handful of other preparations
of the Mandrake are required. Tho Phodophyl
lln
ACTS DIRECTLY ON THE LIVER,
stimulating Its functions and causing It to make
Its biliary secretions In regular and proper
quantities. The injurious results which invari
ably follow tho use of mercury,ls entirely
avoided by their use. But It Is not upon the
Liver only that their powers are exerted. Tho
extractorMandrakecoutalncd In them is skill
fully combined with four other extracts, one of
which acts upon the stomach, one upon the up
per bowels, one upon tne lower bowels, and one
prevents any griping effect, thus producing a pill
that lullonces the digestive and alimentary sys
tem, Ir an equal ana harmonious manner, and
Its action entlrelYfreo from nausea, vomiting or
griping pains common to all other purgatives.
Possessing these much desirable qualities, the
Podopbyllln becomes Invaluable as a
FAMILY MEDICINE.
No household should be without them. They
are perfectly safe, require but two for an ordina
