4 7'/ie Great Restorative. —When a medicine
is well recommended by substantial, respecta
ble citizens, as are Dr. Hociland's German Hit
ters, sold by their sole proprietor, Dr. C. 51. j
Jackson, Arch st. below Sixth, no one need be ;
afraid to use them. We unhesitatingly rec- j
comend them ourself, because we have seen ;
such certificates of their efficacy, both in Europe j
nnil here, as to convince us on the point.
These Bitters are particularly excellent, we
would add, at this season. A purification of
the system, by medicines like the one in notice,
at this time, may make it better able to resist
the prevailing epidemic, the cholera, should it
visit our city'the present season..
MIL. EDITOR. —Having a leisure hour
the other day, I concluded to take a stroll
among your many stores in I.ewistown.
1 found in no store a better assortment of
goods, fresh and new, than at JOHN A.
STKRETT'S. His profit on every thing is j
small —so small that I cannot see how he j
can make a living. His made-up clothing, j
boots and shoes, and ladies' dress goods
are surpassingly cheap and beautiful. B.

Agricultural Implements, Mechanical In

worthy, and approved by the Executive
Committee.
Inventors, Manufacturers, Mechanics,
and Dealers in general, are invited to come j
and make a display of their wares, and, j
although they cannot expect a premium I
for everything they may exhibit, (the Soci

its means limited,) yet the Committee be
lieve they will find it to be a vcrv efficient
mode of bringing them into notice.
And last, though not of least importance,
the Ladies are respectfully invited to make

all that is useful and ornamental in their

department of the exhibition.

bers of the Society or not, are invited to

shall be entitled to a premium.
The Committee would again urgently
request of the citizens of Mifllin county,
who are not already members, to enrol

selves and persuade their neighbors to be
come members also.
All exhibitors must be subject to the
rules and regulations adopted by the Soei
ety.
Two premiums cannot he awarded for

More Truth than Poetry.
The people dear, as politicians say,
Is what makes us appear to-day,
We write in rhyme so that you all
May read, reflect, and give us a call.
For we have opened, and for sale designed,
Hoots and Shoes of every kind ;
For men and women we've supplies—
For children, too, of every size.
We've LADIES' ROOTS, the best that'* made,
And Misses' toe. of every grade j
Our stock of Gaiters is complete—
Our Jefferson's cannot be beat.
Our Jenny Find's are just the thing;
Rut of them we need not sing,
Merely say that they are cheap.
Double soled, and can't be beat.
Our Boots are all of the best kind,
A little the best in town, you'll find;
We've boy's boots too, so very low,
We ttr surprised how fast they go.
Of half our stock we cannot sing,
For It consists of every thing
That women, men, or boys do wear—
So much we can't describe with caro.
And if it suits the people's ntind,
We'll take produce of every kind ;
But, then, the CASH, it is confess'd
At all times will suit us the best.
You need not fear our shelves to thin,
Supplies are always coming in ;
We buy them cheap, and well we know,
\V"e can't be beat 111 selling low.
Now, we invite you, one. and all.
We hope you'll not forget to cali;
You'll timl us two doors from Wattson's store
And now we are done —we'll say no more.
