IRON IN THE BLOOD• IT is well known to the medical profusion that IRON is the Vital Principle or Life Element of the blood. This is derived chiefly from the food we eat ; but if the food le not properly digested, or if, from any cause tokateuer, , the netessary quantity of iron is not taken into the circulation, or becomes reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood will irritate the heart, will clog up the lunge, will stupefy the brain, will obstruct the liver, and will send its disease•pro- during elements to all parts of the eyetem, and every one will suffer in whatever organs may be predisposed to disease. The great valne of IRON AS,I int. 7 4OI4DINE le well known And acknowledged by all medical men. The difficulty has been to obtain each a preparation of it as will enter the circulation and assimilate at once with the blood. This point, says Dr. Hayes, Mastachn setts State Chemist, has been attained in the Peruvian Syrup, by combination in a way before unknown. The Peruvian Syrup is a protected solution of the PROTOXIDE OF IRON A NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDICINE, that Strikes at the Root of the Disease by supplying the blood with to Vital Principle or Life Element—lron. On The Peruvian Syrup Cures Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Dropsy. Bever and Ague, Loss of Energy, Low Spirits. The Peruvian Syrup Infuses strength, vigor, and new life into the syetem, and builds np an "Iron Constitution." The Peruvian Syrup Cures Cbron lc Diarrhoea, Scrofula, Boils, Scurvy , Lo of Constitu Honal Vigor. 'rho Peruvian Syrup Cures Nervous Affections, Female Complaints and all disarms of the Kidneys and Bladder • The Peruvian Syrup lan Specific for Fill Macaws originating in a BAD STATE OF THE BLOOD, or accompanied by Debility or a Low State of tbe 3yatem.

Miss Kate Vanderslice of Pottsville, says, was benefited more by using the Phoenix Pectoral than any other medicine I ever used." Elias Oberheltzer, Lionville, Chester county, was cured of u. cough of many years' standing by using the Phoenix Pectoral. Joseph Lukens, of Hall greet, Phoenixville, certifies that ho was cured of a cough of two years standing, when all other medicines had failed, by the use of the Phoenix Pectoral. Jacob Powers certifies that he has sold hundreds of bottles of the Phoenix Pectoral, and that all who used it bear testimony of its wonderful effects In curing coughs. John 11.4yer, editor of the Independent Phoniz, hay ing used it, has no hesitation in pronouncing it a com plete remedy for cough, hoarseness and irritation in the throat. The West Chester Jeffersonian says : "We have known Dr. Oberholtzer personally a number of years, and it gives us the greatest pleasure to recommend his medicines, inasmuch a 4 the public rarely have the benefit of family medicines prepared by a physician of his acquirements and experience. "Dr. Oberholtzer is a member of the Alumni o the Medical Department at the University of Pennsylvania, at which institution he graduated in 1854." PoresroWN, January 3d, 1885. . „ This certifies that I have used the Phoenix Pectoral In my family, and T recommend It to the public as the very hest remedy for Coughs and Colds that I have ever tried. One of my children was taken with a cold accompanied with a Croupy Cough ; so bad indeed that it could not talk or scarcely breathe. having heard so much said about the Phoenix Pectoral I procured. a bottle of it. The first dose relieved the difficulty of breathing and before the child had taken one•fourth of the bottle it was entirely well. Every family should have it in their house. Signed, D. P. CROSBY. Mrs. Mary Butler, mother of Hon. Wm. Butler, President Judge of the Chester and Delaware Districts, says that she cannot do without the Phoenix Pectoral. Dr. George B. Wood, Professor of the Practices of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, and one of the authors: of the United States Dispense. tory, says of the Senate Snake , Root : "Its action is especially directed to thelungs.' The proprietor of this medicine has so much cone dunce In its curative powers, from the testimony of hundreds who have used It, that the money will be re funded to any purchwer who is not eatieeed with its effects.

BY authority of the Secretory of the Treasury, the undersigned, the General Subscription tgent for th stale of United States Securities, offers to the public the third series of Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three-tenths per cent. interest per annum, known as the 7-30 Loan. These notes are i issued under dote of July 15, 1865, and are payable three years from that date in eurren• ay, or are convertible at the option of the holder into U. S. 5-20 Six per cent. Gold Bearing Bonds. These Bonds are now worth a handsome premium, and are exempt, as are all the Government 'Sonde from State, County, and Municipal taxation, which adds from one to three per cent. per annum to their value, according to the rate levied upon ether property. The intermit is payable semi-annually by coupons attached to each note, which may be cut off and sold to any bank or banker. The interest a 1740 per cent amounts to One Cent per day on each __,s 50 note.

The Notes of this Third Series are precisely similar in form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties already sold, except that the Government reserves to Itself the option of paying interest in gold coin at 6 per cent., in stead of 1.3-10ths in currency up to July 15th. nt the time when they subscribe. Tho delivery of the notes of this third series of the Seven thirties will commence ea the let of June, and will be made promptly and continuously after that date. The slight change made in the conditions of this THIRD SERIES affects only the matter of interest— The payment in gold, if made, w ill be equivalent to the currency interest of the higher rate. The return to specie payments, in the event of which only will the option to pay interest in Hold bo availed of, would so reduce and equalize prices that purchasers made with six per cent. in gold would be fully equal to those made with seven and three-tenths per cent. in currency.

It was during the year 1861, in the thriving little town of Argcntiere, near the foot of the Cevennes Moun tains, in France. The day wascharrn ing. Many-of the inhabitants were traversing the highways, enjoying the agreeableness of the weather.— Among the number there was a tall young man, apparently not more than twenty-five years of age. In his right hand ho carried a cane, and in his left a, small carpet-bag. His gait was quick, and from his expres sion he appeared to be bent upon some important errand. In this manner he went along, occasionally glancing around to view the surround ing objects. .lad hardly, • Bono more than a-quarQr of a mile when he came to:a street, which was in the suburb 3 of the town. He turned and . proceeded up this. Presently after: walking but a short distance, he ar rived at an inn. Here he hesitated; and after viewing the exterior, -he muttered to himself the following words : "It is very singular that this is the first inn I have seen throughout my route. However I will put np here." So saying he entered the building, and having registered his name, he was shown to a room. After order ing his-dinner he went into his apart ment to rest himself. His order was immediately responded to, and after eating he prepared to retire, intend ing to partake of a long and hearty sleep, so that early the next morning he might visit the various merchants of the town. He accordingly went to bed, and was soon wrapt in sleep. While thus sleeping he had a dream that made the strongest impression upon him. We will give it as . from the lips of the dreamer "I thought that I had arrived at the same town, but in the middle of the evening, which was really the case; that I had put up at the same inn, and gone immediately, as an un acquainted stranger would do, in or der to ccc whatever was worthy of observation in the place. I walked down the main street into another street apparently leading into the country. I had gone no great dis tance when I came to achurch, which I stopped to examine. After satis fying my curiosity I advanced to a by-path which branched off from the, main street. Obeying an impulse which I could neither account for nor it was unfre quented, quented, and presently reached a miserable cottage, in front of which was a garden covered with weeds. I had no great difficulty in getting in. to the garden, for the hedge bad sev eral wide gaps in it. I approached an old well that stood solitary and gloomy in a distantcorner • and look ing down into it, beheld, without any possibility of mistake, a corpse which had been stabbed in several places. I counted the deep wounds and wide gashes. There were six." At this moment he awoke with his hair on end, trembling in every limb and cold drops of perspiration bedew ing his forehead—awoke to find him self comfortably in bed, his carpet bag lying near him, and the morning sun beaming through his curtain.— What a difference I He sprang from his bed, dressed himself, and as it was yet early, Bought an appetite for breakfast by a morning walk. He went accordingly into the street, and strolled along. The farther he went the stronger became the confused recollection of the objects that pre sented themselves to his view. "It is very strange," said be to himself; "1 have never been in this town before, and I could swear that I've seen this house, and the next, and that other on the left.'.' On he went, till he came to a cor ner of a street crossing-the one down. which he had come. Before long he arrived at the church with the archi tectural features that had attracted his notice in the dream; and then the highroad, along which he had pur sued his way, coming at length to the same bypath- that had presented to his imagination a tew hours before —there was no 'possibility of doubt or mistake. Every tree and every turn was familiar to him. He hurried forward, no longer doubting that the next moment would bring him to the cottage; and this was really the case. In all its exterior appearances it cor responded with what he had seen in his dreams. Who, then, could won der that he determined to ascertain whether the coincidence would hold good in every point ? He entered the garden - and went directly to the' spot where he had seen the well ; but here the resemblance tailed ; there was none. He looked in every direc tion, examined the whole garden, and even went round the cottage, which seemed to be inhabited, but nowhere could he find any signs of a well. He then hastened back to the inn in a state of excitement hard to describe. He could not make up his mind to allow such extraordinary coincidences to pass unnoticed. But how was be to obtain a clue to the awful mystery ? He went to the landlord, and asked him directly to whom the cottage belonged that was on the by-road near to him. "I wonder, sir," sa,id he, "what causes you to take such particular notice of that. wretched little hovel ? It is inhabited by an old man and his wife who have the character of being very unsocial. They scarcely ever leave the house, seo nobody, and no- eti%EtTiattfolt%. a:b7oHatisrt. body goes to see them. Of late their very existence appears to have been forgotten, and I believe you are the first, who, for years, has turned your steps to the lonely spot." These details instead of satisfying his curiosity, only aroused it the more. Breakfast was served, but he could eat none ' • and he felt that if he presented himself to the mer chants in such a state of excitement they might think him , mad. He walked up and down the room and looked out of the window, endeavor. ing to interest himself in a quarrel between two men in the street; but the garden and cottage pre-occupied his mind, and, at last snatching up his bat, be made his way to the street. Hastening to the nearest Magistrate, he related the whole cir cumstance briefly and clearly. . "It is very strange," said • the offi cer, "and after what has happened I don't think.it, would be right to leave the matter wirtiblitlifftibbrinvestiga • tion. I will place two of the 'police at your command ; you can then go once more to the. hovel and search every part of it. You may, per haps, make some important disco very." He allowed but very few minutes to elapse before be was on his way, accompanied by two officers. After knocking at the door, and awaiting for some time, the old man opened the door. He received them some what uncivilly, but showed no mark of suspicion when they told Min they wished to search the houge. "Very well, as fast and as soon as you please," was the reply. "wave you a well here ?" "No sir, we are obliged, to get our water from a spring a quarter of a mile distant." They searched the house, but dis covered nothing of any consequence. Meanwhile the old man gazed upon them with an impenetrable vacancy of look, as if he could not understand why they were intruding on his property. Finally, they forsook the cottage, without finding anything to corroborate their suspicions. They, however, resolVed to inspect the gar den. By this time a number of per sons had collected together outside, having been drawn to the spot by the sight of a stranger with two police men. They were asked if they knew anything of a well in those parts.— They replied they did not ; the idea seemed to perplex them. At length an old woman came forward leaning on a crutch. "A well ?" said she. "Is it a well you are looking for ? That has been gone these thirty years. I remain u-gre-tirtiti'itw-Midlelifttl ?LT - ) akSt 3 "`cl, hear the splash in the water." "Do you remember where that well used to be," asked the gentle man. "As near as I can recollect," re plied the woman, "it is on the very spot where you now stand." He suddenly started as if he had trodden upon a serpent. They at Once commenced digging u p the ground. At about twenty itches deep, they came to a layer of bricks, which being broken up, revealed some rot ten boards. These were easily re moved, when they beheld the dark mouth of the well. "I was quite certain that was the spot," said_the old woman. "What a fool you were tostop it up, and then have to travel so far for water !" A sounding line, furnished with books was cow let down into the well—the crowd hard pressing around them, breathlessly bending over the black and fetid hole, the secrets of which seemed hidden in impenetra ble obscurity. This was repeated sev eral times without - any result. At length, penetrating below the mud, the hooks caught something of con siderable weight ; and after much time and effort they succeeded in rais ing it from the obscure hole. It was an oid chest. The sides and lid were decayed, and it needed no locksmith to open it. Within it they found, what they wore sure they would find, and which filled the spectators with horror— the remains at a human body. The police officers now rushed into the house and secured the old man.— As to his wife, she at first could not be fouud. But aftera fatiguing search, she was discovered beneath a pile of wood, being much bruised by the heavy loge aove her. By this time nearly the whole population of the town had collected around the spot. The old couple were brought before the proper authorities and separately examined. The man persisted in his denial most obstinately ; but his wife at once coulessed that she and her husband, a very long time ago, had murdered a peddler who possessed a large sum of money. He had passed the night at their house ; and they, taking advantage of the heavy sleep that encompassed him, had strangled him, after which they placed his body in a chest. The chest was then thrown into the weft,' and - the well stopped up. The two criminals had reason to believe themsolvei free from detection, as there were no witnesses of the crime, and its• trace had been carefully concealed: Nevertheless they had not been able to hush the voice of conscience. They fled from theii• fellow-men. They wore intimi dated at the slighted noise, and si lence thrilled them with fear. They had often thought of flying to some distant land ; but some inexplicable influence kept them near the remains of their victim. Terrified by the de position of his wife, the old man at length made a similar confession ; and six weeks after the guilty couple expired on the scaffold. WHOLE NO. 837 A CHAMBER OF HORRORS. From an account in an "English magazine of a trip to a Swiss village called St. Ging, we extract the fol lowing description of "A Chamber of Horrors" :—"Not long after I . took the chetau, an old servant who has lived there many years with its for mer tenant, a German Couilt, direct ed my attention to a wall of great thickness extending from the end of a small bed-room, about forty feet from the ground. According to him, the German nobleman had always slept in that chamber, which he al lowed no one to - enter, save in his presence. On himself it appeared to produce _a strange effect, since, ac cording to the servants, he always shuddered.on passing the doorway, while his countenance assumed a sad der expression than ordinary.— Whether, had the opportunity been offered him, he would, before his death, haves' lifte4 - the- vaiLfioni_the chamber's mystery, the old dometitie could not say, for he died suddenly of apoplexy, without leaving behind him, in writing, any clue to what had so long perplexed his depend ants. When viewed from the court below, the ancient wall in a level with the chamber seemed to be built with large, loose stones, between the interstices of which swallows passed in and out. My curiosity being strongly excited, I went for a couple of workmen, and ordered them to make a preforation in the wall from the bed chamber; but on taking down the painted canvass with which it was covered, this proved to be al together unnecessary, since behind it there was a small door which, on be ing pushed, swung back on its hinges. Before proceeding any farth er I dismissed the workmen, and or dering a candle to be brought, for the chamber was pitch dark, entered alone. The air, close and heavy, was impregnated, as I thought, with the odor of decayed animal substan ces, which immediately proved to be the case. Before me, on an antiqua ted bed, lay the body of a woman, shrivelled to a mummy, dressed in the forgotten fashion of a former age, 'with rings on its fingers, a necklace about the neck, and long pins of gold thrust through the hair. All around the body the bed clothes exhibited stains of blood. On one side of the bed I observed a dark coffer, worm cated, covered with dust, on lifting the lid of which, I saw the body of a man with a poignard, which 'had prol;ably passed through the heart, still sticking in it. The clenched hands lay one by the side, the other _aemssAle_b_r_tas_ . • face; the dress was gorgeous, and the boots, apparently not decayed, intimated that the corpse was that of a military man. I called on the but ler, showed him the contents of the chamber and then inquired the age of the German Count. 'He must,' the man replied,'have been something Over . 80.' 'ls there no tradition among the peasants ?' I asked, 'about the doings of the inmates of this chateau before your time ?' 'lt is on ly said', he replied, 'that for some years there was great feasting and merriment, with a perpetual succes sion of guests, who hunted in the neighborhood, sailed in pleasure barges on the lake, made excursions among the Alps, and kept all the ad jacent towns alive with their mirth and extravagance. On a sudden this ceased ; the Count dismissed nearly ail his domestics, retaining only my father and two other men, while thenceforward, no woman was ever permitted to. n enter the chateau.— There were o children, and the la dy was repOrted to have returned to her relatives in G-crmany.' 'To these facts,' I observed, 'we have the key now before us. There lays the Count's lady, and here the paramour for whose sake she 'was THEY DON'T KNOW THE MAN. The Radicals—Jacobins is the bet ter name—are swearing, scolding, battling, teasing, coaxing, cajoling, President Johnson—as they did Pres ident Lincoln. The leading Radical, or Jacobin paper of Wisconsin, print ed at Milwaukee, says : "The government has taken its position against negro suffrage distinctly and unequivocally, just as President Lincoln did at first against emanci pation. But lie had to back down, just as Pros i-. dent Johnson will be obliged to do in this case. For his course is now disapproved by the leading presses and members of the Union party ; and is approved by the entire Copperhead party.-- People may turn up their noses at the opposi tion of Wendell Phillips and men of his type.— But when such men as Prof. Amuse Walker, of Boston, take public issue with the President, and the consciences and the hearts, not only of the religious bodies, but also of thei loyal press and the loyal masses, are opposed to the Presi dent, 4in this question, be must change, or be without a party to support him, or throw himself into the arms of the Copperheads." In reference to - this, the Nashville Dispatch, President Johnson's home paper, remarks : "So the radicals think they can make Presi dent Johnson come to terms. They don't know the man." Indeed they do not. No two men, says the :New York Express could be more unlike than Lincoln and John son. The suavitor in modo is Lincoln, the fortiter in re is Johnson. Edward Everett was an educated Lincoln ; Andrew Johnson is an alias for An drew• Jackson. Bullying and threat ening and storming, will but invigor ate his nerves and bring out his pluck. As he backed down the sc cession clergy' of Nashville, so he will back down the Jacobin.clergy of Bos ton, if they try to bully him as they bullied Lincoln. ite., A Somnambulist walked out of a three-story window initiohmond and_awoke in another world. /x,e afifitruiscp.

BIDDLE, AT HARRISBURG, July 4th, 1865, Fellow Citizens of Harrisburg : I have come, with great pleasure, upon the invitation of your Committee, to take part in this celebration. I was glad to hear that you intended to revive the proper observance of this day, which has, of late years, been too much neglected. We can all remember when it was the universal custom of American people to assemble on this anniversa ry to celebrate the great event that happened on the 4th of Ju1y,1778, when the old thirteen colo nies of Great Britain declared that they "were and of right ought to be free and independent States." It was the custom, too, of the speakers ap pointed for the occasion to strain to the utmost their powers of language to express the great ness of that event, and the consequences that flowed from it; and, indeed, 4th of - July oratory was sometimes charged with dealing a little too much in exaggeration. But, while I shall not try to rival the eloquence of those who have pre ceded me on former anniversaries,l will say briefly this—that no 4th of July orator ever ex ceeded or came up to the truth in _ speaking of the blessings that the American people enjoyed ,aorteg she.. long lseriod that succeeded the es tablishment of their Liberty" and T.ntlependenee. We who have known the evils, and dangers, and burdens of a great civil war can look back now and see how prosperous our lot was, how lightly the troubles incident to human nature fell upon this nation, from the end of the war of the Revo lution till the beginning of the late attempt at Revolution-, which the valor of our armies has, at last, with God's blessing, utterly defeated.— And by none was greater valor .shown than by the gallant solders who crowd your city to-day. To all who are here, and to all who celebrate this day elsewhere, we utter the voice of wel ceme. Welcome, sons of the old Keystone, to the homes you have well defended ! Welcome to the State upon which your deeds reflect im mortal honor ! Eighty-nine years ago, this day, the Ameri can Colonies cast off the rule of George the Their loyalty—which means the love a people have for a king—was exhausted, and the men of the Revolution drew the sword in the name of patriotism—which is the love we boar our coun try. They drew the sword upon no insufficient cause. They first tried every peaceful effort to obtain redress within the government under which they lived. The Declaration . of Indepen dence says, "In every stage of these impressions', we have petitioned for redress in the most hum ble manner. Oar repeated petitions have been answered by repeated injuries. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." Nor did the leading spirits of that day rashly plunge their country into war. There were statesmen then who calmly weighed in the bal. anee the imposing but distant power of Great Britain, and saw that the colonies were able to cope with it. By a Revolution, justly begun and wisely prosecuted, the people• of the "Old Thirteen" States freed themselves from the rale of a king whom they regarded as a tyrant.— They established a government by the people, and under it they grew and prospered, till they reached a heighth of prosperity never surpassed among the nations of the earth. _ Surely the events of the last four years should not abate our reverence for the fathers of the Re public, or for the free government they founded "for themselves and their posterity." We can not charge on them our sectional controversies, ending, at last in civil war. They foresaw the danger and showed us plainly the way to avoid it. They wrote it down in the Great Charter of American Liberty—the Constitution of the Unit ed States. Enlightened by long experience of ...e,eParate.Wonial governments, they framed a Interest@ ID common, ann — Mßlly ciIINSLa sepa rate end distinct. Ana how did the framers of the Constitution provide for all these interests, so as to avert the danger which they saw must flow from any unwise tampering with the inter est of one State, by other States which did not share that interest. How did they provide against this danger, which could not escape their sagacity ; for it was not a dull, fiat, uniform des potism they were founding, but a Federal Union among States of infinite diversity in climate and soil and institutions and in the habits of their people. They provided against this danger in a way so plain and simple that the smallest intel ligence could understand it; they provided against it in a way so complete and perfect that till the corner stone of their building was reject ed the whole grand edifice stood erect and firm, defying the storms of political passion and shat tering all who dwelt within its precints. THEY RESTED THE CARE OF THE COM MON INTERESTS IN THE FEDERAL GOV ERNMENT, AND THEY LEFT THE SEPA RATE AND PECULIAR INTERESTS TO THE CARE OF THE STATES. This was the groat cardinal principle of the American Constitution. Let no man blush that he bas maintained it. Let no man who looks for a happy future for his country, cease to maintain it still. I know that some treat this principle as if -it had been devised solely to protect the institu tion of slavery, in the Southern States—as if it were of no concern to us. No, fellow-citizens; slavery has perished by the sword of war, but this principle is as vital as ever to free govern. ment, as vital as ever to each State of the North and the South, and to the people of every one of them. Let me illustrate this by an example, that has no relation to slavery. Many years ago the good cause of temperance was seized upon by fanatics, and of course pushed to the most absurd extreme. In many of the New England States, a law was passed called "Maine Liquor Law" which undertook to change, by the stroke of the pen, the habits of mankind and to com pel total abstinence from every sort of liquor, from brandy to Inger beer. Groat efforts were made to pass this law in Pennsylvania, but our legislators, having some respect for the will of their constituents, could only be brought to pass an act referring the question to the decision of the people; and at the next election, you re member it no doubt—it was in 1854—we voted down the proposition to enact the "Maine Liquor Law" in Pennsylvania. Time has shown that we wore right, for the law proved a total failure where it was first enacted. Yet, I remember that when I was in Congress three years ago, and the tax bill was under consideration, there was some debate as to what tax should be put upon whiskey. Up jumped the member from Maine and proposed to tax it ten thousand dollars a gallon, for, he said, he wished the Federal Government to put all end to the manufacture of an article that was very obnoxious to his con stituents. Now I confess that I opposed that proposition ; not that I am partial to whiskey, but because I thought the Federal Government had no right to "abolish it" in Pennsylvania. Let me illustrate this further by an ex ample that has something to do with "the negro question" which still remains to vex us, though slavery has fallen by the sword of war. The convention that framed the present Constitution of our State decided that negroes should not vote in Pennsylvania. Oar courts had always so construed the former constitution of Pennsyl vania; for the men of the Revolution, while they mitigated with the most enlightened benev olence the lot of the slave, yet regarded his race as a recent offshoot from the barbarous tribes of Africa, and did not extend to it the political franchises which they secured "for themselves and their posterity." But to put the matter be yond all cavil, the framers of the Constitution of 1818 declared expressly that the elective fran chise should be exercised only by the "white freeinan. Now, suppose, when we had thus de decided, that he Mr: Van Buren, who was President then, bad issued a proclamation declaring that, whereas, the people` of Pennsylvania had deoided that negroes should not vote, now be, Martin Van Buren, President of the United States, be lieving that-the Constitution was no longer bind ing on, him, because there had been a war with the Seminole Indians, did declare it to be his sovereign will and pleasure that negroes Should "vote in Pennsylvania. This seems a monstrous supposition ; certain ly, it would have seemed so then - ; yet at this day there is a large • and active party claiming that the President may do this very thing, and demanding the instant conversion of the field bands of the South into voters, to wield the po litical power or one-third of the States of this Union, Under pretence of establishing univer sal suffrage, this scheme aims at gte CleStpietlort
