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,

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.

>) . 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.
