CLOTHING I MISHLEJt'S HERB BITTERS. (( PROPHET IS NOT WITHOUT J. Hener save in his own country.' True and yet like most truisms it lias its ex ceptions. The most striking illustration et this is leund in the reputation acquired by Mishlcr's Herb Bitters during the twenty flve years it has been before the people. Grewing from small beginnings as simply a local remedy, it has steadily worked its way e the loremest'rank among the standard medical preparations of the age : yet nowhere is it mere highly regarded than right here at home, in the scenes et its earliest victories ever disease. Yeu can scarcely find a man, woman or child in Lancaster county, who, at some time or ether, lias net used it, and the testimony of all is given in its praise. The farmer, the mechanic, laboring men ami wo men, the merchant, the clergyman, the ban ker, the lawyer; people in every walk and condi tion et life are all alike familiar with its merits. The Hen. Thaddcu- Stevens, member el Congress from this district, suffering from an affection of the Kidneys, could llnd relief in nothing else. In a letter te a Iriend (new in our possession) he writes: "MISIILEK'S HERH IMTTKRS is the most wonderful com bination of medicinal herbs lever saw." The Hen. A. L. Hayes, Law Judge et the Courts of Lancaster county, wiitcs: "1 have used it myself and in my family and am satis fled that i7 reputation is net unmerited.'' Hen. Geerge Sanderson, Mayer et Lancas ter city ler 10 years, writes : ' It has become familiar as a household word, and a necessary addition te the medical requirements of every family. In my opinion it is THE IIKST REM EDY EVER INTRODUCED." Jacob F. Frey, esq., SheriU" et Laueaster county, was cured et RheumaU.tiu. J. O. Stelnlia'isur, Superintendent of .the Lancaster County Hospital, testifies te it-" success in that institution in the treatment el Dyspepsia, Kidney Diseases, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Asthma and Scrofula, and this testimony is endorsed from a like experience by A. Fairer, esq., Steward of the Lancaster County Almshouse. The proprietors have in llieir possession thousands of letters and certificates from per sons In every section of the country who have been cured of various Diseases, and it is I heir proud beast that they have never published a line that was net genuine, nor a name that was net authorized. Seme of these read like miracles, but the facts are indisputable. One of the most remarkable is the case of I-aac Saltzer, of Maycrstewn, Lebanon county, Pa., cured of Hereditary Scrofula, aggravated by a perk diet. We have two large jars of scabs which he saved and brought te us as a cm ios ies ity. He lias net two square inches en his en tire body that is net marked with a car, yet Mishlcr's Herb Hitters cured him. Te-day it is sold by druggists and country storekeepers in almost every town, village and hamlet throughout the length and breadth el this great country, and evciy where Hie same verdict is recorded. Thousands et families far removed fieiu physicians rely upon it in every emrgency and it never fails them ; with it in the house they feel, yes they knew, thev are safe against the attacks of disease.

Mr. Zecher also presented the report of the city treasurer for June, from which it appears that the balance in the treasury July 1st was 72,723.10.

The contract and the accompanying bend were approved. Common council con curred.

S Te the Honorable the Select and Common Coun cils of tic City of J.ancaslcr : Gf.ntlemex : I herewith submit te your deliberation a communication " te the mayor and city councils of Lancaster, Pa.," of the representatives of insurance com panies doing business in the city of Lancas ter. The paper speaks for itself, and re quires no introduction from me. The sub ject is a very important one, and will, I am sure, receive careful consideration at your hands. A necessity exists for the reorgan ization of our fire department, the details of which it will be for you te work out. cry respectfully yours, J no. T. MacGe.nnu.i:, Mayer. Tiithe Maier end City Council of Lancaster, I'a. Gentlemen : At a meeting of the repre sentatives of insurance companies doing business in Lancaster, held en 2Sth ult., the undersigned were appointed a com mittee te present, te your honorable body the views of the insurance companies rela tive te the necessity of suppressing incen diarism, and the great importance of the speedy organization of a paid lire depart ment, in place of the volunteer system new in existence in yem city. In the discharge of the duty delegated te us, we beg te call your attention, first : te the fact that there have been within the past few months numerous fires in your city, which, se far as we can learn, have been mostly of incendiary origin, and it is well known te you, that while the majority of these fires have been confined te build iugs and property of comparatively small value, they have within the past two months extended te property ei another character, causing large less te insurance companies as well as te your citizens. Without consuming your time with de tails, we may say that the destructive cle ment in your city has assumed such pro portions that insurance companies have be come alarmed, and feel that their own safety demands that they shall use all ligitimate means te protect themselves against the large losses which must neces sarily occur, unless active and determined measures are adopted by your body te de tect, punish, and eradicate this incendiary clement. Se far as we have been able te ascertain, no effective measures have as yet been used, either te detect, or punish these who arc guilty of the crime of incendiarism. It is true, as we understand, that rewards have been ettered by your mayor, and by the national beatd of underwriters, but they have failed te detect the guilty par ties, and it must be apparent te you, as it is te us, that much mere active and effi cient means must be devised, and used, if you would rid your city of this lawless class of persons. It has been publicly stated in your city, that the insurance companies should em ploy detectives te ferret out and arrest the i guilty persons ; in reply te tins, it is proper for us te say, that it is no part of the busi ness of iusurance companies te furnish any ether protection te your citizens than in demnity from less by lire ; it is net their duty te detect, prosecute, or punish the disorderly and lawless of your city, or of any city. Such duties arc delegated te you, by your citizens, and they must leek te you te previde all necessary means for their protection against incendiaries, and all ether violators of law. It would be as reasonable te leek te the insurance companies te previde for your police force, or te pay the expenses of your water department, or te take charge of your criminal courts, as te expect them te pursue and drive out of your city the par-' ticular class of criminals te which we have already alluded. It must be obvious te you, with little rcllcctien, that the re sponsibility for the moral condition of your city docs net, aud cannot, rest with the insurance companies, but with the legally constituted authorities ofyeur own city. Hut even should it appear te be the duty of insurance companies te assume such re sponsibility, there are most forcible reasons why it should net, aud cannot, be done in this emergency. Lancaster has had in past years, such a reputation for the staid, thrifty aud moral character of its citizens, and immunity from destructive fires, that insurance com panies from all parts of the country have pressed into it, aud sought its business, and as a consequence, the rates or insur ance have become lower than in most any city in the country. With the exceptionally low rates for insurance, new prevalent in your citv, insurance companies cannot afford te incur any expense beyond that which legitimately belongs te their own business," and should they undertake, therefore, te provide means for the pre vention of crime in your midst, it could be done only at the expense of your own citi zens, by advanced rates for insurance. Hence should it appear that the legally. constituted authorities et your city are unwilling te use the necessary means te protect your citizens from the incendiary, or that they arc unable te suppress an clement that may involve the destruction of your city, it must be plain te you that only two courses are open te the insurance companies, te wit : 1st. A large advance in rates, or 2d. Te relieve themselves of all their risks, and cease from doing any further business until such time as the moral character of your citizens shall have re asserted itself, and purged the city of the dangerously disorderly class which new threatens its very existence. As te the first alternative, we may say, that it could net be adopted with any pros pect of success, because, it is impossible te ascertain what would be an adequate tariff or rate in any city wherein incendi arism is permitted te de its work without check or hindrance, and therefore, the second alternative, namely, the withdrawal of companies from your city would, we think, be shown, te be their only remedy for the difficulty. New as te the measures which may be necessary for you te adept in the craer gency which new presents itself for your consideration, it is neither our purpese or province te dictate, but we may, at least, respectfully make some suggestions. We therefore respectfully suggest and nrge upon you, first : the extreme import ance of putting in operation the most thorough, and efficient measures that can be devised, for the detection and prompt punishment el ail who have been in any way connected with the recent fires in your city ; and such measures you are as well able as we te originate. The active use of your present police force will accomplish something, but as it is small, and covers a larger territory than it can effectively protect, it would seem necessary te strengthen and enlarge it te the fullest extent that your authority and means will permit., The employment of the most compe tent detectives in such numbers as may be necessary, would also suggest itself te your own minds as a most available and efficient method of reaching the evil. But these are but temporary measures, and something much mere far-reaching aud thorough is demanded in this emer gency. We have been informed that jour fire de partment asuowerganized,whiic dependent ill part only upon the city for its mainten ance, is substantially independent ; owning its own apparatus, framing its own cede of government, and te all intents and pur poses electing and contreling its own chief and officers in biief net responsible for its operations te the city authorities. Fire departments thus organized have, in the experience of all the larger cities, developed in their history the same evils audjdangcrs' which you are new confront ing, and in almost every instance have be come net only inefficient, but have created and festeied te a greater or less 'extent an incendiary class. Such organizations arc apt te fail into the control of these who use them for their own purposes, and thus destroy their efficiency, and, however honestly they may have been originated, it is a fact that sooner or later they attract te them the disorderly class, and become net only inefficient but dangerous. Under theses conditions we think it of extreme importance that your lire depart ment should be under the supervision of, and solely lcspensiblc te, your city au thorities, and we would therefore respect fully recommend and urge upon you the adoption of the juiid system. It has been fully demonstrated in the experience of many cities, that the system of paid fire departments is net only the most efficient but also the most economi cal, reducing the frequency and dc structivencss of fires, and at the same time improving the moral character of cities by removing te a large extent the disorderly and lawless clement, se apt te attach itself te volunteer departments. As the representatives of ever $100,000, -000 of capital pledged for the protection of your citizens, we most earnestly request your thoughtful and careful consideration of the foregoing suggestions and recom mendations, and thus relieve the insurance companies of the necessity of any further action in the. matter. We are most respectfully yours, E. C. Irvix. Tattnall Pau li i no. J, II. Mitchell. 1IrnuyPewi.es. William Mitir. July ., 1881. Committee. Mr. G. W.

Mr. McMullcn came te the relief of the perspiring patriots by moving that the reading of the minutes be dispensed with, which was unanimously agreed te. Mr. McMullcn presented the petition of A. B. Sheaffer and A. Miley, asking per mission te construct at their own expense a sewer en East Orange street from Sheaf fer's property te North Queen street, te connect with the public sewer en the lat ter street. Common council granted the petition ; select council amended by re ferring it te the street committee with power te act, and common council con curred in the amendment. Mr. McMullcn -presented also a petition numerously signed asking for a trap en the sewer outlet ac the corner of East Orange street and Cherry alley. Referred te the street committee. Mr. McMullcn presented the monthly report of the street committee setting forth the awards of contracts for street work, which have already been noted in the Intelligencer. With regard te the petition of Messrs. Clay and Black, in which damage is claimed te have been sustained by them by reason of the change in the grade of North Li me street, the committee, te whom was referred the pe tition are of opinion that petitioners have sustained no damage. The petition for a gutter en Marien street between Charlette and Mary was considered and action de ferred until the grade of the street is dc tcrmincd by the city regulator. The street commissioner was directed te place a trap ever the sewer en West King strectbetwecu Water and Mulberry, complained of by residents of the neighborhood as a public nuisance, and was directed also te repair the crossings at Duke aud North, Duke and Lew and Duke and Green streets. The petition for construction of a sewer en Locust street, from Knapp's brewery te Rockland street, is favorably recom mended. The itemized statement of Street Commissioner Trewitz, which accom panied the above, showed the expenses of the department for May te have been $1,037.10. Common council took no action upon the report, but when the document went te the scicct branch the street cemmittee was authorized te act in the matter of the Locust street sewer. Common coun cil concurred. Mr. McMullcn presented the bill of B. F. W. Urban, clerk of quarter sessions, for office fees in the recent opening of several streets.
