Relief and Poor House Business.
The Relief Board meets on the Third Fri
day of eaeh month at the Comtniss oners'
Office, and the Relief Orders are issued on
the last Saturday of eaeh month.
The Directors of the Poor meet at the Poor
House on the 2d Monday of each month.
or two boys, not too young,
who can board at home, will be taken
temporarily, perhaps on time, to learn
the printing business.
THE DRAFT. —The evils of the boun
ty system are now falling upon the
rural districts with great severity—so
much so that few men liable to draft
will be left in our boroughs or town
ships by the 15th. Of the 172 enrolled
men in this borough more than one
half have already left, and the remain,
der are ready to go Of course no
fault can be found with them when the
alternative of volunteering with a
bounty or a draft without a bounty is
presented, yet we suspect this depopu
lation of the interior will do much to
wards bringing Philadelphia cityand the
eastern counties who are ruining them
selves by debt, to a sense of their folly
by a heavy decrease in business and
products .of every descriptions, which
in the end must affect them.
The quota of this borough will bo
considerably larger than we anticipa
ted, in consequence of several districts
not having men enough to fill theirs,
though where the men are to come
from even here by the 15th is beyond
our ken. We learn that the calculation
is that it will take one out of four,
which would require Lewistown to fur
nish between 43 and 50 men.
R<sU The Junior Editor of the Ga
zette left on Monday last with Capt.
Selheimer's company, and by this time
is probably enrolled in the service of
his country. His absence leaves us in
a precarious way in the office, but we
will endeavor to do the best we can
until better arrangements can be made.
THE WINTER continues with only a
slight mitigation of the cold we have
had since the middle of December, and
the ground continues covered with a
coat of ice and snow, still affording
good sleighing. Spring will soon be
here, and we look for some pleasant
days, though if the ground hog is to
he relied on it will not come for six
weeks from Candlemas day, that sober
looking fellow having seen his shadow,
returned to his comfortable quarters,
and is now snoozing away a two score
and two days' nap ere he will again
show his phiz.
Snow commenced falling -yesterday
morning and continued until last night,
covering the ground to the depth of
about one foot.
FIRE. — The frame school house, ad
joiningthe Lutheran church, in Armagh
township, a few miles east of Milroy,
was totally destroyed by fire on Thurs
day night a week. The fire probably
resulted from placing kindling wood
upon or near the stove.
SELLING OFF.—S.
are selling oft" winter goods, such as
Mennoes, Wool Delaines, Coburghs,
Fluids, Ladies' Cloth, Shawls, Hoods,
Blankets, Flannels, Linsey, Cloths,
Overcoats, &c., &c., AT GREATLY
REDUCED PRICES.
ITEMS.— We learn that the Exchange
Hotel, Hollidaysburg, but recently
purchased by Samuel Aultz, formerly
of this place, was totally destroyed by
fire at an early hour on Thursday
morning, with nearly all its contents.
Many of the inmates made narrow es
capes with their lives. There was we
believe no insurance, anu Mr. Aultz's
loss is therefore very severe.
OUR SOLDIERS.— On the Ist of Sep
tember last, we learn from the Demo
crat, Ambrose Johnson, a young man
who had been raised by Judge Stine,
of Wayne township, volunteered, and
joined company A of the 12th Penna
cavalry. On the night of the 19th of
December, whilst on picket duty in
f barleston, \ a., he was shot and in
stantly killed, during an attack made
by Mosehy's guerrillas. His remains
er e bunod at that place.

: their criminal employment in the practice of
' abortion, are now offered for sale for the first
I time in America. They have been kept in
I comparative obscurity, from the fact that the
| originator. l>r. Velpau, is a physician in Paris

! the flood gates from whatever cause may have
J stopped them ; but they are offered to the pub
| lie only for legitimate uses, and all agents are
j forbidden to sell tliem when it is understood
| that the object is unlawful. Married ladies
i should never take them when there is any
reason to believe them selves pregnant, for they
' will he sure to produce a miscarriage.
I These pills are entirely safe under all cir
cumstances, being composed entirely of sub'
j stances from the vegetable kingdom.

Dr. Cheeseman's Female Fills.
Have been used over a quarter of a century.
They aro offered as the only safe means of re
newing interrupted menstruation, but ladies
must bear in mind that there is one condi*
tion of the female system in which the Pills
cannot be taken without producing a peculiar
result. The condition referred to is pregnan
cy—the result, miscarriage. Such is the ir
resistible tendency of the medicine to restore'
the sexual functions to a normal condition,,
that even the reproductive power of nature
cannot resist it. They cannot do harm in any
other way.
