TH B 3AZE TT 2 . LOCAL AFFAIRS. THE XEW CALL. —The call for 500,- 000 men by the President, with the option to serve for one, two or three years, makes it incumbent on all inter ested—and who that is enrolled is not? —at once to take measures to secure volunteers. We have no special data to go on, but as near as we can figure it out, the borough's quota will be in the neighborhood of 80 men. Wheth er this number can be raised will de pend upon the spirit that is manifest el by the people at large. If men will promptly reach into their pockets, and furnish means to pay a liberal bounty in addition to that offered by the gov ernment. we think it can be put through for the reason that many will be wil ling to go for one year who have strong objections to a greater length ot time We would suggest then that a public meeting be at once held, let all who can attend it, and determine whether that effort shall be made, or quietly await the draft. 816,000 would pay 8200 per man, and that sum in addi tion to the 8100 government bounty we believe would bring them. Can it be raised, is the simple question ? A meeting was called for last even ing, and although a considerable num ber of persons attended, but at a late hour, nothing further than taking some preliminary steps towards rais ing a bounty was done. We have no doubt the Borough will offer 8200 bounty for one year's men, which with the government will make 8300 for that time. GREAT DROUGHT. —With the excep tion of a few slight showers, too light to bo of much service, we have now been six weeks without rain in this neighborhood. In some parts of tin county, though in narrow strips, occa sional rain has fallen, but taken as a whole the corn crop may be set down as irreparably injured—much of it be ing in tassel without signs of ears. Potatoes are also extremely backward, and unless late ones will be more fa vored the crop will be quite short. It may not however be generally known that by selecting good ground, and with anything line favorable weather, it is not yet too late to plant potatoes, as good crops have frequently been rais ed when planted as late as the middle of August. This is an important con sideration at the present time, and we recommend every one who has a patch of vacant ground to try it. The wheat we judge is rather more than half a crop, of tirst rate quality, and most of it housed in excellent condi tion. gsarThe company of 100 days men from Lewistown is nearly full. A. B. Selheimer has been elected Captain, S. B. Marks Ist and C. B. McClean 2d Lieutenant. B(3^,We have in our possession a view of Market street from Sample's hotel west to the jail, photographed by C. C. Burkholder of this place, which ful ly justifies us in recommending Mr. B. as a first class artist, deserving the extensive patronage of a picture-lov ing public. Some of his photographs, which are scattered here and there over an area of many miles, are much ad mired. We take it he is of no mean reputation among his "fellows of the trade," and hope he may produce* still greater triumphs of artistic skill. We were also presented a photo graph view of the Court House the other day by the MeEwen brothers, which brings to light a beautiful pic ture of that architectural building, and which certainly adds to the cred it which these young artists are fast contracting. Their car continues in diamond, where all may be accommo dated with pictures plain or fancy. Sabbath School Library For Sale, Containing over six hundred vol umes. The Presbyterian Sabbath School committee have been authorized to dispose of the above books at a very reduced price, because their contents have become old to the school, yet the books themselves are in good condi tion. Ihe library was selected with great care, and consists of some of the choicest books from three Boards of Publication. We propose to give to purchasers an opportunity of selecting such books as they may want from the cases, which is much preferable to a catalogue selection. Those wishing to see the library will please call on J. IRVIN WALLIS, or H. \Y. PATTON, jy!3-2t Committee. ITEMS. —Judge Wilson, who has been extremely feeble from paralysis for some time, had a fall on Saturday last in his yard, which injured his well arm severely. Mr. McAtee's babe was accidently let fall on Monday evening, receiving severe bruises on its head, requiring the aid of a physician. The circus and menagerie on ex hibition here on Monday was largely attended, the admission price of 50 cents not having any seeming effect on a number too poor to pay for a home newspaper, or some women who often represent themselves as with out bread, meat. &e., but managed to raise money enough to take in them selves and children. The scenes en acted on the outside during the evening, principally by hangers on of the shows, are said to have been of the most dis graceful character -Don't forget the concert by the blind in the Town Hall on Thursday evening. Those who had 50 cents for fun on Monday surely ought to have 15 cents for phil anthropy. The weather still con tinues hot, hot, hot—the thermometer having again reached 9fi on Sunday. Men and women are praying, birds whistling, and frogs croaking for rain, but so far it has not come! The wea ther prophets however now tell us three fish, two watermen and full moon in the almanac are sure signs, so nous verrons. The Draft to fill up our quota came off at Hofidaysburg yesterday. The following were drawn for the borough of Lewistown : Matthias Benner, John M. Stauher, li. W. Patton, James .McXamara, J. B. Selheimer, David B. Wilson, Robert S. llowe, Lewis R. Morton, Jacob Smith, John Kinley. Five of the above must either pay commutation or go. At tie time we go to press the draft for the townships has not come to hand. C. G.

ELIZABETH B M KEE, Executors. >) . THE peculiar taint or infection which we call SCROFULA lurks in the constitutions of multitudes of men. It j either produces or is produced by an en .■!i"Tifvw—fcebled, vitiated state j£= - of the blood, wherein that fluid becomes in nd""1111"' T "' l T to sustain el T® vital forces in their fig*'vigorous action, and the system to ~ fall into disorder and decay. The scrofulous contamination is va riously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habit.-, the depressing vices, and. above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, descending "from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." The diseases it originates take various names, according to the organs it attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally Consumption; in the glands, swellings which suppurate and be come ulcerous sores; in the stomach and bowels, derangements which produce indi gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints ; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. These, all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz., purification and invigora tion of the blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have health; with that "life of the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is compounded from the most effectual anti dotes that medical science lias discovered for this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far supe rior to any other remedy yet devised, is known by all who have given it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaints, is indisputably proven by the great multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases: King'f) Evil, or Glandular Swellings. Tumors, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire. Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in the lungs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female Weaknesses. ""(1, indeed, the whole series of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood. Minute reports of individual cases may be found in AYER'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists lor gratuitous distribution, wherein may he learned the directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures which it lias made when all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those cases are purposely taken from all sections of the country, in order that every reader may have access to some one who can speak to him of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results than are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life. The vast importance of these considerations has led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we now offer to the public under the name of AYER'S SARSATARILEA, although it is composed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsaparilla in alterative power. By its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in the blood, purge out the causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow. By its pecu liar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital functions, and thus expels the distempers which lurk within the system or burst out on any part of it. We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of Sarsaparilla , that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither be deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have been proven by abun dant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for the cure of the afflicting diseases it is intended to reach. Although under the same name, it is a very different medicine from any other which has been before the people, and is far more ef fectual than any other which has ever been available to them. CHERRY PECTORAL. The World's Great Remedy for Coughs, Colds, Incipient Con sumption, and for the relief of Consumptive patients in advanced stages of the disease. This has been so long used and so uni versally known, that we need do no more than assure the public that its quality is kept up to the best it ever has been, anil that it may be relied on to do all it has ever done.
