The Great Remedies for all Diseases of the

ORGANS..
IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Is composed of the pure juices, (or, as they
are medicinally " termed, .Extracts,)
of Roots,. Herbs, -yr and "Barks, mak
ing a preparation, pi highly concentrat
ed, and entirely - free from alcoholic
-admixture of airy /dud.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
Is a combination of all the ingredients of
the Bitters, with the purest quality of Santa
Oruz Runt, Orange, &c:, making one of the
most pleasant and agreeable remedies over
offered to the public.
Those preferringa medicine free from Al
coholic admixture, will use
HOOFLA.ND'S GERMAN BITTERS.
Those who have no objection to tli'cont
bination of the Bitters, as stated, will use
HOOFLAND'S GERAIAN TONIC
They are, both equally good, and contain
the same medicinal virtues, the choice be
tween the two being a mere matter of taste,
the Tonic being the most palatable.
The Stomach, from a variety of causes,
such as Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous
Debility, etc., is very apt to have its
functions deranged The Liver, sympa
thizing as it does with the Stomach,
then becomes affected, the result of
which is that the patient suffers from sev
eral or more of the following diseases:
Constipation,Flatuience,ln ward Piles, Ful
ness of Blood to the Head, Acidity of
the Stomach, Nausea, Heartburn,
Disgust for Food, Fulness or
Weight in the Stomach, Sour
Eructations, Sinking; or
Fluttering at the Pit
of the Stomach,
Swimming of the
Head, Hurried or Diffi
cult Breathing, Fluttering, at
the Heart, Choking or Suffocat
ing Sensations when in a Lying Pbs
to re, Dimness of Vision, Dots or' Webs
before the Sight, Dull Pain in the Head,
Deficiency of Perspiration, Yellowness
of the Skin and Eyes, Pain in the
Side, Back, Chest, Limbs, etc.,
Sudden Flushes of Heat,
Burning in the Flesh,
Constant Imaginings
- of Evil, and Great
Depression
of Spirits.
The sufferer from these diseases should
exercise the greatest caution in the selection
of a remedy for his case, purchasing only
that which ho is as sured from his in
vestigations and in ArA quiries, possesses
true merit, is skill 11 J fully compounded,
is tree from injurious ingredients,
and has established Tor itself a reputation
for the cure of these diseases. In this con
nection we would submit those wen-known
remedies—
HOWLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS,
1100FLAND'S GERMAN TONIC.
PitE PA RED BY DR. C. M. TilaKBo.7k,
PHILADELPIIIA, PA.
Twenty-two years since they were first
introduced into this country from Germany . ,
during which time they have undoubtedly
performed more cures, and benefited suffer
ing humanity to a greater extent, than any
other remedies known to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver
Complaint, Jamid. ice, 'Dyspepsia;
Chronic I.Zervous F Debility, Chronic
Diarrhoea, - or Dis ease of the Kidneys,
and, all diseases - arising - from a
. DEI3ILITY,
Resulting from any Cause whatever: Pros
tration of the System, induced by
Severe Labor, Hardships, Ex
poser°, Fevers, &e.
There is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor
is imparted to the whole system, the appe
tite is strengthened, food is enjoyed, the
stomach digests promptly, the blood is puri
fied, the complexicn becomes sound and
healthy, the yellow tinge is eradictited from
the eyes, a bloom is given to the cheeks,
and the weak and nervous invalid becomes
a strong and healthy being.

these remedies. They will cure every

"Those 'Personals' in the dailies," said
Bred Winter to me, " ought to be put down

morning, with her sister, whom she was to
meet at the Ferry at about ten o'clock. Mrs.
W. got there a little before the time, and
was waiting in the sitting-room for her,

lady, with IL veil over her thee, which did
not entirely conceal, or rather hightened
very pretty set of features, stepped np to
her, and said, in a hurried and anxious
voice:
" Have yon been here long?"
" Not very," answered Mrs. Winter.
"Have you seen a gentleman, rather
tall, with a heavy red mustache?"
"No, I have not," replied Fred's wife,
rather shortly, for the description 'MIS, nn
plettiantiv, like Fred.
The young lady turned away, evidently
disappointed, and, just then, Mrs. Winter
titt.tr her sister (a fine girl, full of fun, and
Jtist as full of good sense), to whom she re

as the boat was moving off, they

The young lady immediately ran up to

tow, Kate was a generous girl, and
tleftg•ht a great deal of Fred ; Ind besides,
fi r e pitied the distress into which her 819-
tr was thrown. So she tried her best to
4,lnfort the one and defend the other.
The indignant little woman, however,
4used to be comforted, and insisted upon
dying a paper as soon as she reached the
cher side, in which, sure enough, they

!Fred, however, wits entirely Innocent,
though appeartutees were desperately
kniust,
• He got into the scrape in this way : As
coon as he arrived at his office that morn
ing, he found his partner there before him,
who said :
"Oh, Winter, here is a new case in the
pfilce this morning. So I think you had
;better go to Brooklyn, and, attend to that
'reference, instead of me."
" Very well," said Fred. " Give me the
ipapers."
And oil' he started.
Ile had no sooner got inside the Ferry
gate, than he was astonished by finding a
young lady almost throwing herself into his
arms, at the same tithe seizing his hands,
and exclaiming:
" Ob, Frank, I'm so glad you've come 1"
" Now, Fred was a perfectly faithful hus
band, and I do not suppose entertained it
thought that his wife would not approve.
But, than, he was a man, and it was impos
sible for him not to feel exceedingly
pleasant sensations under such agreeable
circumstances ; so he almost involuntarily
put his hat a little more 011 one side of his
head, gave his mustache an additional twist
and threw= just the slightest touch of sweet
ness in his voice, as he said :
" Excuse me, madam, but"—
'But the lady had already discovered her
mistake, and retreated in some confusion,
and Fred had the satisfaction of finding
that he had lost the bout. Ile had the ad
ditional satisfaction of seeing his wife and
sister-in-law watching hint from it.
Of course he felt very uncomfoftable all
that day. Ile was in hopes that his wife
would have waited for him on the other
side, and given him an opportunity to ex
plain matters, but in this be was disap
pointed—no wife was there ; and as be did
not know which way she had gone, there
was nothing for it but to wait till evening:,
with the uneasy assurance that there was a
rod in pickle for him.
Fred's business all went crossways that
day. The questions he asked, and the
statements he made, were often unconnect
ed, contradictory, and wide of the mark.
lie got through, however, somehow or
another, just avoiding getting himself into
more of a mess, and with feelings more pe
culiar than pleasant, wended his way home
ward.
He opened the door and entered, but no
wife met him us usual. Be went from
room to room, but she was in none of them.
He called up the servant, from whom he
learned that Mrs. Winter, had come home,
and immediately gone to her ihther's.
Fred felt4both disconcerted and vexed at
this, but ho proceeded, without delay, to
follow his wife.
When be arrived at his father-in-law's
house, he was shown into the parlor, where
he found that worthy gentleman, who re
ceived him very coldly, and instead of his
usual hearty—" Well, Fred, my boy," rose
and said, very stilly:
" Mr. Winter, I presume you are here to
see my daughter. Let me beg you to ob
serve that she is under the protection of my
roof."
Fred replied with equal stiffness :
"Mr. Honeysuckle, let me beg you. to ob
serve that my wife was not at home, and I
was directed hero to find her. I respect,
the sanctity of your root; respect my claim
upon my wife, and let me see her."
" I cannot refuse your claim, if 'would,"
replied the father. " Yon are her husband,
though a most unworthy one."
"Sir!" responded Fred, angrily; those
words from any other man—" •
"Tut! tut !" interrupted Mr. Honey
suckle, " do you think you can impose on
me ? I will send Emma to you. In the
meantime, perhaps you can reconcile this
with your• virtuous indignation."
As he spoke, he pointed to the ominous
words in the paper.
"F. W. Fulton Ferry, Thursday morn
ing, 10 o'clock." AaaWowr A.
•
Fred was struck: dumb with astonishment
and dismay. Of course, 140 saw at a glance
•what a close corner he wits in; and then fol-
lowed a scene.
His wife entered the room with her sister,
both looking daggers at him. Fred was
completely disarmed by the surprise. His
initials, his presence at the time and place
appointed, the girl's question to his wife,
and her evident recognition of Fred, were
facts not to be got over. Fred made a mis
erable defense of himself, and the more he
tried to explain matters, he only made
them worse. At last he got downright
angry, and, picking up his hat, rushed from
the house, followed by the hysterical sobs
of his wife, and the reproaches of her sister
and father.
It so happened that as he ran down the
stoop he came full split against a man run
ning up. The violent collision knocked
them over, and down they went, rolling
over and over each other, until they landed
on the sidewalk.
`•` Come on, sir_l" cried Fred, florcely; - u4
biloo. . •
most dancing round the other. " - 1 am just
in the humor for you, or anybody else."
"What's the matter, Fred? what's the
matter ?" gasped the other party, as soon
ass he could recover his breath and his legs.
"You must be in the devil of a hurry to
knock a marl down like that."
" Oh! is that you, Walker," said Fred,
moodily. "I'm sorry I hart you, but I
didn't see you."
"Not much damage done, I guess," an
swered Walker, straightening his clothes,
and knocking the dust off them, while Fred
did the same, " but I wanted particularly
to see you, and they told me at your house
I would find you here, and I have found
you here with a vengeance; that's a fact,"
he added, laughing.
" Here's Delmonico's," he continued, as
they walked along. " Let's go in and sic
down, and I'll tell you what I wanted to
say to you."
"You know old Richankrustif," says
Walker, when they were seated and sup
plied with what they wanted.
"Yes. Well, what of ?"
" What's the mutter, Fred ! -s itu seem
out of sorts to-night," said Walker, look
ing at 111111.
'• Nothing nothing. Go on, Walker,"
answered Fred, loaning his head on his
hand, and stirring up his drink.
" Well, we are engaged."
"Who? You und old Richanrustif."
" No, no, counfound him ! I mean his
daughter, Arabella, and myself. The ol(1
man is unreasonably opposed to the match,
and had the impudence to tell me so. I ex-
postulated with Mat, and told him that he
ought to congratulate himself on, the pros
pect of such a desirable son-in-law as my
self—for I flatter myself,Fred, that in every
way I am a suitable match for his daugh
ter. However, the old man didx't see it.
On the contrary, he had the bad manners
to fly in a passion and forbid me the house.
I have continued, notwithstanding, to see
Arubella (splendid girl. Fred,) on several
occasions, until lately, when the old man's
vigilance cut off our communication en
tirely. This drove us to extremities, and
we have determined to get married against
his consent, and without his knowledge, if
it must be so ; and, Fred, I want your help
in this matter. Arabella and I mot this
morning and arranged the whole aflitir.
The manner and place of our interview was
not very proper," continued Walker,
smiling, " but then we couldn't help that."
Fred had been paying no great attention
up to this moment, for he was full of his
own troubles ; but at, this point a sudden
idea seemed to flash upon him, for he ex
citedly interrupted his friend with the ab
rupt question,
" Frank Walker, did it ever occur to you
that we resemble each other?"
" Certainly. I have been taken for you
snore than once."
" Yes, confound you! and I have been
taken for you once too often. Did it ever
likewise occur to you that the initials of
our names were identical 7"
"I don't know that it ever did," replied
Walker, " though they certainly are. nut
what of that ?"
" Wait a minute, wait a minute," s,ald
Fred, with increasing excitement. "There
waiter," bring inc to-day's —"
• When the paper was brought, Fred
pointed to the unlucky advertisement, the
cause of all his troubles, and then said—
" Walker, have you been fool enough to
make love through such a channel as
this ?"
Walker looked lx)tlx ashamed and sur
prised at this question, but ho presently
answered—
"I own, Fred, it Is not a very creditable
way of corresponding with any one, much
less a lady whom you expect to make ypur
wife *ours was a desperate case and
called r a desperate rem edy. But how
on earth did you connect that thing with
me?"
"Well," said Fred, brightening up, as
ho saw his way clear now out of his diffi
culty, " I will render you all the assist-

nue° in my power, old boy. Indeed, since
I em alreadymixed up in your mess more
than you think for, :I. may as well see it
through."
Walker opened his eyes more and more.
4 ' How do you - mean mixed up in my
mess ?"
" You were to meet your Arabella at
Fulton _Ferry at ten o'clock,", said Fred,
referring to the advertisement. Isn't that
so ?"
" It is."
"Then why didn't yon keep the appoint-
tnent ?"
" Fred, I give you my word, I hurried
down to the ferry as fast as horse-flesh and
my own legs could carry me, and I was
there within five minutes of the time."
" Yes, sir, and that five minutes has kept
me in hot water ever since. For I would
have you to know that I happened to be
crossing the ferry just at the time when
you should have been there. In the hurry
and crowd the lady znistook me for you ;
of course, I could not refuse to respond to
the lady's advances, although , they were
mistaken, and then I lied the extreme
pleasure of losing the boat, and seeing my
wife 'upon it, watching me talking to a
strange woman: She got hold of the paper
with this internal thing in it, somehow or
another, (I suspect that sister-in-law of
hers put her up to that,) and so the mischief
was done. You see, Walker, everything
fitted so beautifully, that I had no escape,
and now my wife has left my house, and I
have just been driven out of her father's.
But, Come. since you have gut me into this
mess, you must get me out of it, again, and
then we will attend to your alrair."
"Certainly, certainly, my dear fellow,"
said Walker, "upon my soul, I am ; sorry
for the trouble I have caused you; and yet,
excuse me for laughing, but, us you say,
everything fitted so beautifully. Come, by
all means; you have been in hot water
long enough through are, and it's high time
I fished you out."
They thereupon inunediatels returned
to the house- of Fred's father-in-law, but
Fred positively refused to go farther than
the stoop, saying he should remain there
until sent for. • •
lie did hoL have to wait lonif., however,
for pretty soon the door WAS flung open,
and his wife came flying out, and threw
herself into his arms.
"Take care, Emma," he said, " take
I harp been knocked down hero
once before, to-night, and I don't want to
try it again."
EM2
" Servos you rigld, for being such a cross
old boy," exclaimed Eminp, half laughing,
half crying. " Oh! how could you, Fred
—but come in, dear, and tell us you for
give us all."
" Just like a woman," thought Fred, but
he suffered himself, for all that, to be led
into the room, where he found his sister
id-law and her father, laughing till their
sides ached, at Walker's recital of the day's
mishaps. He had compared notes with
the rest, and told the story splendidly, in
cluding the collision on the stoop,-and was
just striking a sparring attitude, in imita
tion of Fred, when the latter entered.
Naturally, Fred didn't'see much of ajoke
-in the-who o — Aand
on his dignity ; hut it was of ilu liseig do
that ; they only laughed the more.
He looked at his wife. She returned a
timid yet loving glance. There wus a tear
in her eye and a tremble in her voice, as
she slid her hand in his, and murmured,
"Forgive me, Fred."
at - course, Fred's heart was melted in a
moment, and, returning the pressure of his
wile's hand, he joined in the laugh with
the rest.
" Now, let's attend to Walker's business,"
be said
Mr. Honeysuckle was acquainted with
old Richankrustif, and ho readily promised
to reconcile the old man to the wishes of
the young people.
He was as good as his word ; and now
Mr. and Mrs. Walker, and Fred and his
wife have many a laugh over"Pmtsositt..s."
The Bladensburg Dueling Ground.
Bladensdurg, the famous dueling ground,
is situated in Maryland, some six or eight
miles from Washington. There, in a beau
tiful little grass plot, surrounded by trees,
is where a number of tho most noted duel
ists resorted to perform their deadly work.
In 1814, Edward Hopkins was killed here
in a duel. This seemed to have been the
first of these fashionable murders on this
dueling ground.
In 1819, A. T. Mason, a United States
Senator, fought with his sister's husband,
John McCarty here. McCarty was averes
to fighting, and thought there was no neces
sity for it; but Mason would light.
McCarty named muskets loaded with grape
shot, and so near together that they would
hit heads if they fell on their faces. This
was changed by the seconds to loading with
bullets, and taking twelve feet as the dis
tance. Mason was killed instantly, and
McCarty, who had his collar bone broken,
still lives with Mason's sister in George
town. this hair turned white so soon after
the duel as to cause much comment. He
has since been solicited to act as second in
a duel, but refused, in accordance with a
pledge he made to his wife soon after kill
ing her brother.
In 1820, Commodore Decatur was killed
in a duel l,y Commodore Barron. At the
first tire both fell forward. with their heads
within ten feet of catch other; and, as each
supposed himself mortally wounded, each
fully and freely forgave the other, still ly
ing on the ground. Decatur expired imme
but Barron eventually recovered.
In 1821, two strangers named Lega and
Sega appeared here, fought, and Sega was
Instantly killed. The neighbors only
learned this much of their names from the
marks on their gloves, left on the ground.
Lega was not hurt.
In 1892, Midshipman Locke was killed
here by a clerk of the Treasury Department,
named Gibson. The latter was not hurt.
In 1820 Henry Clay fought (his second
duel,) with John Randolph, just acrosst ho
Potomac, as Randolph preferred to die, if
at all, on Virginia soil. lie received Clay's
shot, and then tired in the air. This was
in accordance with a declaration made to
Mr. Denton, who spoke to Randolph of a
call, the eyeing before, on Mrs. Clay, and
alluded to the quiet sleep of her child turd
replied : "I shall do nothing to disturb
the sleep of the child or the repose of the
mother."
When Randolph fired he remarked: "I
do not shoot at you, Mr. Clay," and ex
tending his hand,ati %%meet! toward Mr. Clay,
who rushed to meet him. Randolph show
ed Clay where his ball struck his coat, and
said facetiously: " Mr. Clay, you owe me a
coat."
Clay replied, "Thank God the debt is no
greater!" They were friends ever after.'
In 1839, Martin was killed by Carr.
Their first names are not remembered.
They were from the South.
In 1633, Mr. Key, son of Frank Key, and
brother of Barton Key, of Sickles notoriety,
met Mr. Sherbert'. and exchanged a shot,
when Slierborn said ;
"Mr. Key, I have nodesire tokill you."
"No matter," said Rey, "I came to kill
you."
"Very well, then," said Shorborn, "I
will now kill you." And lie did.
In 18.38, W. J. Graves, of Kentucky, as
suming the quarrel of James Watson Webb
with Jonathan Cilley, of Maine, selected
this place for Cilloy's murder: but the par
ties learning that Webb, with two friends.
Jackson end Merrell, were armed and in
pursuit, for the purpose of assassinating
Cilley, moved towards the river, and
nearer the city. Their pursuers moved to
ward the river, but missed the parties, and
then returned to the city, to which they
were soon followed by Graves and the
corpse of Cilley.

lien Manure for Voris. —
- -farmer from Richmond, Me., to the
Co - untry - Gentleman. says:
That he had a lot of hen manure in tM
old corn house which he had - fixed up for
hens, and ho concluded that it' would be a
good plan to use it-on the land rather than
sell it as he bad been in the habit - of doing.
So he planted about thirty rows through
the middle of his lield;and the rest on
old,- well' rotted stable man Ore, 'atid the
corn on the hen manure was taller, larger
and the best every way. TIM 'next year
the piece was sown down -with' wheat . , and,
where the hen manure was best, ;apd every
one asked the reason for it, and-tore grass,
when mown,' was the best where the hen
manure was applied. lie planted one aura
on hen manure and one on stable manure;
the one on 'hen manure gave twenty
bushels of shelled corn, the most and was
the best corn; both were planted the stun°
time en the twine soil, and received the
same culture, viz : cultivatiug'atid hoeing
twice.
• His way of using it is this: putitbout a
large handful in the hill, and cover over' a
little earth ; then drop the corn on and
cover, and after the corn up, put a little
around the corn, but be careful not to let
it touch the seed or young plants, or to get
too great a quantity in. the hill, for then
the corn comes up and is as black as -ink,
and soon dies. But on the whole ho fiuds
it the best manure that can be used on corn,
although great care has to be used.
EARLY TYING UP OF . GRAPE VINES ON
TILE TRELL7S.—ThO HOTlietatUrie says: If
Ahem is anything in the theory that great
injury is often cansed by, extraction of
-moisture and evaporation «41P11 in contact
with continual cold, then-it is advisable t.,
leave the vines lying ,upon. the ground
until after the cold, drying winds of March
have passed. As the season-advances the
circulation of sap increases, and in March
there is more aqueous mettlr in the vine
than in the month of January, and con
seituently it is more susceptible to
change of temperature, and is more
affected by cold, drying winds. There
are those who believe the plant to
be more severely injured by the cold,
drying winds of March or April than by
any extremes of temperature during the
rngular winter' months. " Without at
tempting to prove or disprove the theory,
we shall only say that our experience • for
some years has been in leaving our - vines
on the ground until quite late in the spring.
We have sometimes left therir even' tlntil
they - lied bloomed and sot their fruit; , and
once ,or twice• we• have'lhought that we
escaped injury from frosts and fiom cold,
