The Democrat's Opinion of Mr.
Peachey.
From the True Democrat, August 11, ISSo.
For Director of the Poor, JOHN PEACHEY,
of Menno township, one of the staunch and
reliable farmers of Kishacoquillas valley was
nominated, as a man EMINENTLY QUALI
FIED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC INTER
ESTS. An effort was last year made, and
will probably be again, to sell the old Poor
House farm, with a view of purchasing one
more eligible and suitable, and therefore it is
important that A PRUDENT, SAIL, AND
DISCRIMINATING MAN be elected as Di
rector of the Poor, for should the project be
carried out, a reckless disregard of the public
interests, such as was manifested in making
iaii contracts, might plunge the county into
"an inextricable debt. ALL WIIO KNOW
MR PEACHEY GUARANTEE HIS ABIL
ITY AND INTEGRITY FULLY EQUAL

TANT TRUST the Democracy desire to com
mit to his keeping.

have FULL AUTHORITY for saying
that Dr. Bower will not vote for any appro
priation to the Sunbury and" Erie Railroad
Company. No such project is or has been
contemplated, and no such appropriation ask
ed for by that Company. This the Gazette
knows as well us we do—and yet it has the
unfairness to allege that Dr. Bower is commit
ted to such action. But further, our candi
date Dr. Bower, is opposed in toto to GRANT
ING THE CREDIT OF THE STATE as a
loan OR IN ANY OTHER SHAPE, either
to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company,
or to any other corporation for any amount
whatever. Will the Gazette do the Democrat
ic party and its candidates the common justice
to say so, now that it has repeatedly alleged
and insinuated the contrary?"
[Part of another article in the same paper.]
"There is not a district in the State in which
the Sunbury and Erie bill is now made the
issue, aud not a single newspaper, of any pol
ities, (as far as we eau find,) advocates the
passage of any bill for the relief of, or to aid
the construction of that road. A Democratic
legislature last winter voted down the Sunbury
and Erie bill, by a very emphatic majority ;
and should the next legislature be Democratic,
(of which there is no reasonable doubt,) we
are satisfied no attempt to pass such a bill
will be made, not only because it is well known
it couid not pass, but because the contingency
which induced the friends of that road to so
licit a pledge of State bonds to aid the Com
pany in obtaining loans, (an appropriation
of money was never asked,) will no longer
exist. The Gaactte's incessant harping upon
the * appropriation of 50,000,000 to the Sun
bury aud Erie Railroad,' tie., is, consequent
ly, all 'Buncombe'—merely to deceive the
people, by making them believe a question is
at issue which really is not. A man must be
blind indeed who cannot see into that gamqj
—that ' great cry over little wool.' "
Dr. Bower after the Election.
<>n the tiual passage of the bill selling
(or giving away) the public works to the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company, and
lending the credit of the State by endorsing
the bonds, the vote stood—

DYSPEPSIA,
AS shown by the statements of the Board of Health of
New York, caused the death of 76 persons out of 611
deaths in one week, and 131 deaths by consumption in
duced by dyspepsia. As it is a well attested fact that
dyspepsia is the origin of the sufferings of a large portion
of those wito die of consumption, it becomes the duty of
every one to use such precautions against and remedies
for dyspepsia as science and experience have placed be
fore them, and which have proved to he efficacious. Of
this character is OK. WILLIAMS* ANTI-DYSPEPTIC
ELIXIR, in corroboration of which read the following
testimonials:
From Mr. R. I)' Ami, New York.
Dear Sir —My wife had been suffering with Dyspepsia
very severely for a long time, and has been attended by
two physicians for about sic weeks, from which attend
ance she received no relief. 1 recently procured your
Elixir for her, and after taking one bottle she is complete
ly cured. I can safety say I never knew of a medicine
having so quick effect in so short a time.
Very respectfully yours, RUDOLPH D'ARNI,
Teacher of Drawing and Music, 467 Broadway, N. Y.
Extract of a lelter from Mr. H. N. Winans, New York,
to his friend in Philadelphia.
Do you recollect that bottle of Williams' Elixir that
was leaking in your trunk, and you gave to me to get rid
oft Well, for curiosity, 1 thought 1 would try if it would
relieve me of the Dyspepsia, which 1 have had for some
time, and for which it is recommended, and 1 am happy
to say it has quite cured me, and would recommend it to
any one similarly affected Stgimd,
11. N. WINANS, 9i Water st , N. Y.
Dr. J. Williams —After suffering from Dyspepsia for a
considerable time and failing to obtain any permanent
relief, I was induced to try your Elixir. I must confess
I had not much confidence at tiist, but in about two weeks
was most agreeably surprised to find I was rapidly im
proving in health, ' art now much fatter th an ever before
and I am In as good if not better health than 1 ever was
in my life Very truly yours, &e.,

FHA.NKKOHD ROAD, Oct. 25, 1810.
I>r. James Williams—Having recently understood that
it Is tour intention to resume the preparing of your
Anti-Dyspeptic Elixir, and being anxious that others may
be benefitted by its use as 1 have been. I herewith send
you for publication, if you think proper, a statement of
the effectual cure produced on me by it. For a number
of years 1 have been suffering to such an extent that I
became so notch debilitated, arid the discstive powers so
much destroyed, Iff it It Wis With difficulty I could take
and retain sufficient nourishment to support life. Neith
er myself nor my friends were aware that my suffering
proceeded t'roin indigestion; in the year Ift.t'J my attention
was directed by my husband to your advertisement, at
that time published in some of the city papers, explaining
the causes and syuiptoais of dyspepsia, and confidently
offering a remedy. I immediately procured and used
some of your medicine with the most signal suc
cess; from a state of debility, languor, and nervousness,
and complete loss of the power of digestion, so great that
1 could take at first only five drops of the Elixir at a dose,
1 was iu a few days much relieved, and by continuing it
a short time 1 have been restored to health, strength,
and vigor, w hicti 1 still retain. 1 take great pleasure, sir,
in making known the , fficacy of your Auti Dys(ieplic
Elixir, and sincerely hope it may be the means of induc
ing others to go and be benefitted like myself.
Very respectfully, Set, HANNAH STILE:*.

Patent Galvanic Cement
_3~ J of* LJLi isJ ii"* 2.' - c i : z.'? o
fIjUIE undersigned having purchased the
I right fur this Cement in Mifflin and Ct li
tre counties, are now prepared to furnish and
put it on rooting wherever desired—the roof
I being sheeted hy the uwner. Scientific men
under the direction of government, and ar
chitects and builders in various parts of the
country, fur years have been studying arid
experimenting to discover some composition
or article for roofing, which would resist the
changes of our climate, and would unite the
qualities of linprrviowtieeaa to Water, Incom
bustibility, Durability and Cheapness. No
article now in use possesses these qualities.
Shingles are not fire proof, and cannot he used
upon flat roofs. Slate can only be used upon
steep roofs. The contraction, expansion and
rusting of metallic roofs are so great in this
changeable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs will cost more than
a new roof. The various cements and com
positions which have been introduced, can be
supplied only to very flat roofs, and they are
all so affected by the action of the weather
that they will nit It and run in summer and
crack in winter, and in a short tiurc become
crumbly and worthless. The inventor of the
Galvanic Cement has labored twenty years to
obviate these difficulties, and it is believed by
those who have had opportunities to test the
matter, that he has entirely succeeded. As
now applied,
1' irst—lt is completely impervious to water.
Water may continually stand upon the roof
without affecting it in the least.
Second—lt is fire-proof. It is so incombus
tible that it will affurd ample and perfect pro
tection against lire, sparks and burning shin
gles from another building immediately ad
joining.
1 bird—lt is durable. It is nut injured hy
atmospheric changes, having been tested fur
several years by the Patentee, at Syracuse,
j New York.
| i'ourtli—lt is cheap. Roofs will be put on
for about half the cost of tin, and will last
| much longer.
Fifth—Repairs are easily and cheaply made.
Sixth —lt is sufficiently elastic to entirely
resist the expansion and contraction by heat
and cold, and will remain perfect and solid in
the warmest and coldest weather.
' Seventh—lt is adapted to all kinds of roofs,
| either flat or steep.
Eighth—lt is valuable for repairing old
roofs. Old shingle roofs may he covered
without removing the shingles. Old metalic
roofs can be made perfectly tight and secure.
Ninth—lt is especially adapted to all kinds
of seaming around battlements, sky-lights
and chimneys, and for the lining of cave
troughs and gutters. Roofs which have given
trouble for years, and which have continued
to leak in spite of all efforts, can be made
perfectly secure by this cement.
Tenth—lt has been proved to be the best
article ever used for covoring car tons and
steamboat decks.
Eleventh This cement applied to new tin
; roofs preserves them from rusting, hy fur
nishing a coat which is at once impervious to
water aud an almost perfect non-conduc,or of
heat.
Twelfth—lt is the only roofing material
patented which contains India rubber and
gutta percha.

property will please address

franylantituj Corn.—We believe there

mere or the value of transplanting com.
and of the tact that it can bo done- with as
much ease as cabbage can be transplanted,
it would be valuable for every one who wish
ed to raise early roasting ears for his own
eating or for sale, because the corn could
be started in frames so as to give it two or
; three weeks the start of eorn planted the
usual way. It would be valuable also in
the held where hills are missing, as sur
plus stalks could he drawn from growiii"
hills to supply missing ones. The safe.-t
way is to make up a mixture of cow-dung,
loam and water, of the consistence of thick
porridge, and dip the roots in it as they
are taken from the ground with a trans
planting trowel, and carried in this to their
place, where, heing carefully set and sha
ded if it is sunny with a bu.-li or sonic ar
tificial stuck in the ground, tin v will U al
most certaiu to live and grow. Like all
transplanting, it is best done when the soil
is wet.
hony iuty of Mules. —We have numerous
reports of mules attaining the age nf forty,
fifty or sixty years, and Col. Middle-tun of
South Carolina stated soinc years ago that
he had one at work on hi> plantation ciirh
i ty years old ; and we have seen au accouut
i oi a mule in Ireland, certified tohatebetu
; at work since 17U7, making him over one
hundred and filly years old. This is, of
j course, a very uncommon age, but we are
satisfied that, with proper usage, mule?
would commonly attain to about fort v years
being serviceable to the last, and ihs
should be counted as one of their elements
of value.
