Home Questions. —Tho Boston Herald is after the shoddy patriots, who line their own pockets very deeply, while they vaunt their own “patriotism,” urge the abolitionizing of the war, form seoret “ leagues,” and spy sys tems —and prate of their sorrow for the “ poor slave.” It says : “ We do not wish to be considered inquisi tive, but then we would ask how much a cer tain Abolition fi rm in this city expects to make on furnishing those drawers for the soldiers, when they pay six cents a pair for making them ?

We notice various papers and personspraieing Siegel, Corcoran, Shields, Scboepff, and their brave followers, who, a couple yearß ago, would not have been willing to let either of them have a voice in the affairs of our country. The facts shows another of the glaring errors of the opposition, and the readiness they possess for changing their views to suit circumstances. The Democratic party stood by the rights of the foreigner when many of those who now profess to be their warmest friends were their bitterest enemies, and the wisdom of our position at that time is shown in the remarkable zeal with which our adopted citizens have enlisted in the cause of the nation. —Erie Observer.

Severe Affliction in One Family.— The Hamburg (Berks County) Schnellpost men tions a series of sad afflictions that have befallen the family of Mr. Jacob Gehart toll collector at the Hamburg Bridge, during the last fortnight, in remarkable exemplification of the old adage that “misfortunes never come singly.” In the first place, four prom ising grandchildren, the children of his son in-law, Jesse Hein, of Windsor township, died within two weeks, of the terrible throat disease that is so fatal in its ravages in that neighbor hood. One, a twelve years' old daughter, was buried about two weeks ago, and on Thursday last, the three others, aged respectively 19, 17 and 5 years, were laid in one grave ; while another child of the same parents was lying hopelessly ill. The next sorrow occurred to bis son, Tobias Gehart, a much respected res ident of Perry township, whose mind became deeply affected by trouble and misfortune, that it was found necessary to take him to the State Asylum at Harrisburg; and on the very morning that the father went on bis way there, odo of his children, a grown up daugh ter, died of throat-disease. These are indeed sore trials for a single family. May the Lord i send comfort to them in their afflictions. FRANKS OF UfiUBBRS OF CONGRESS Post-Masters are instructed to disregard the franks of Members of Congress known to be absent from the points where their franks are used. Hence, the frank of no member who is known to be in Washington, will be received at his place of residence daring his absence. .For this reason, a great many letters, hearing the frankß of members from this State, are held for postage. This paragraph is publish ed for the benefit of those who, when they send letters under franked envelopes, erroneously suppose that they are forwarded to their des tination. They are simply held for postage, as are other letters not pre-paid. This is a step.in the right direction and if the many similar abases of the franking pri vilege were lopped off, the ory for its abolition would ceaas. A LIYS ANECDOTE. A Pennsylvanian, now in the army, relates a traditionary anecdote of the late Secretary of War, which is probably as true as the poßt— humous stories of the juvenile days of great men generally are. It was the custom afore t'me in Pennsylvania for mothers to place an apple, a silver dollar, andabtble, before their children- as soon as, they were able to. toddle about, and with a mother's interest and sa tis! actionlwatcli them make their choice. It was considered indicative of their more mar tared predilections; In accordance with this custom, the mother of the infantile Simon, as soon as he wss able to stand on his pins, pro duced the articles and set them before the child, hopiogin her heart he would select the Bible. Bat not so Simon. The future Secre tary of War took a. somewhat deliberate view, and, with less reverence than King Alfred, mounted a top the Holy Writ, pocketed the dollar, and commenced munching the apple! It is needless to add that he has been at that basiness ever since.— Exchange. \ Gov. Dawson op Otah in Trouble.— The telegraph announced a few days, since that Governor John W. Dawson, of Utah, who left Salt Lake City, on the 2Lst of December, for the east was pursued, and when about twelve miles on bis journey was whipped and robbed Seven of the men guilty of the outrage had be?n arrested, and three of them, while at tempting to escape from the officers, were killed. The Salt Lake News, of January Ist leveals the cause of the assault. The Gover nor grossly insulted a respectable woman, and fled to escape the vengeance of her friends.— Gov. Dawson was formerly editor of the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Times , and had been in the Territory but about two weeks. —Boston Trav eler. ConfesBlon~or, a Murderer.—Sido© the murder of near Mohrsville, Berks county, Pa., a few years ago. an impen etrable mystery has hung over the case. It has been dissipated however, by the ooofes -B*oo of John Ezra Lovering, who was execu ted in Miffiintowo, Juniata county, Pa., on the 2d instant, for the murder of Henry Auker, od the 6th of March last. In it Lovering gives the particulars of his early life ; of Mb enlistment in the Navy, cruise on board the Plymouth and his final desertion ; of bis forgery on Christopher Tyson and subsequent detection ; and confesses that he murdered Adeline Bavor, of Berks county, and a man in Tuscarora Valley, Pennsylvania. John Bull's Sincerity. — The English “philanthropists” are deserting “Uncle Tom.” The London Athenaeum declares its conviction that the system of Slavery at the South is more beneficial to the negro than freedom at the North, and, therefore, by no means so wrong as it has been thought. The Saturday Review ridicules the anti slavery sentiment of Great Britpin in one column, while it denounces popular government as mob law in the next. The Review argues that tho negro ought not to be freed, be cause, “ left to the free indulgence of his natural inclinations, he will not labor at all.” SPECIAL NOTICES. 925 I] 93* Employment I [s7s 1 AGENTS WANTEDI We will pay from $25 to $75 per month, and all expenses, to active Agents, er give a commission.

The arterial system penetrates to every organ, I and these in turn, give to the matter thus received their peculiar character. The vital principle Is that mys terious power within, which acting through the blood, counteracts disease, and repairs the ravages of time. So long as its vigor and activity continue superior to the as saults of time and the excesses in which we indulge, we are secure in the enjoyment of health. From which are too fruitful to be mentioned here, disease gains lodgment in the system, and all the varied symptoms attendant □pon Consumption, fasten their deadly fangs upon the snfferer. It is cheering to know that a remedy has at last been found to cure the worst forms of pulmonary com plaints, if applied in season. Dr. 0. Phelps Brown’s Acacian Balsam is prepared with a direct eye to its effect upon the blood and secretions.

Bronchocele, Goitre or Swelled Ifeck, Zebnlon Sloan of Prospect, Texas, writes': u Three bot tles of your Sarsaparilla cured me from a Goitre a hid eous swelling on the neck, which I had suffered from over two years.” Deucorrlioea orWhltea, Ovarian Tumor, Uterine Ulceration, Female Diseases. Dr. J. B. 8. Channlng, of New York City, writee ; “ I most cheerfully comply with the request of JOnr agent in laying I have found your Sarsaparilla a most excellent alterative in the numerous complaints for which we employ such a remedy, but especially, in Female Diseases of the Bcrofolods diathesis. I have cured many inveter ate cases of Lencorvhcea by it, and some where the com plaint was caused by ulceration of the uterus. The ulcer ation itself was soon cured. Nothing within my knowl edge equals it for these female derangements.’* Edward S. Marrow, of Newbury, Ala., writes, M A dan gerous otwnan tumor on one of the females In my family, which had defied all the remedies we could employ, has at length been completely cured by your Extract or Sar saparilla. Our physician thought nothing but extirpa tion could afford relief, but he advised the trial of your Sarsaparilla as the last resort before cutting, and it proved effectual. After taking your remedy eight weeks no symptom of the disease remains.” Syphilis aud Mercurial Disease. New Orleans, 26th August, 1869. Da. J. C. Atbb: Sir, I cheerfully comply with the re quest ofyourngont,.and report to you some of the eflects 1 bare realized with' your Sarsaparilla. I bare cured with it, Id my practice, most of the com* plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its effects truly wonderful in.the cure of Ymertaland iter eurtal Disease. One of my patients had Syphilitic ulcers in his throat, which were consuming his palate and the top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, 6teadUy taken, cured him iu five wqeks. Another was attacked by.sec ondary symptoms iu his nose, and the ulceration had eaten away a considerable part of it, so that 1 believe the 'disorder would soon reach bis brain ami kill him. But It yielded to. my administration of your Sarsaparilla; the ulcers healed, and ho is well again, not of course without some disfiguration to his face. A woman who had been treated for the same disorder by mercury was suffering from this poison iu her bones. They had become so sen sitive to the weather that on a damp day sho suffered ex cruciating pain in her joints uud hones. She, too, was cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla iu u few weeks. I know from its formula, which your agent g&vo me, that this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great remedy; consequently, these truly remarkable results with it have not surprised me.

Ayer: Sir, I liavo been afflicted with a pain ful chronic Rheumatism, for a long time, which baffled the skill of physicians, and stock to me in spite of all the remedies I could find, until I tried your Saroapadlla. One bottle cured me in two weeks, and restored my general health so much that I am far better than before I waa attacked. I think it a wonderful medicine. J. FREAH. Jules Y. Getcbell, of St. Louis, writes: “I have been afflicted for years with au affection of the Liver, which destroyed my health. I tried every thing, and every thing failed to relieve mo; and 1 have been a broken-down man for some years from no other cause than dercingemeriUnf the Liver. My beloved pastor, the llov. Mr. Espy, advised ino to try yqur Sarsaparilla, because lie said he knew you, and any tiling you made was worth trying. Uy the bless ing of God it has cured me, and has so purified my blood as to make a new man of me. I feel young again. The best that can be said of you is not bulf good enough.” Schirrus,Cancer Tumors, Enlargement, Ulceration, Caries and Exfoliation of the Bones.
