State Temperance Convention in Harrisburg on the 18th of February neat.' Mrs. Donald, a very estimable lady, and the wife of Wm. Donald, Esq., who is fore =Sit of the engraving and stereotyping partintont of tae' Erie Dispatch establish ment, has forsometime been seriously ill without any apparent cause: Aftet pre Berthing in vain for hor relief, the family physician* discovered a foreign substance in her side, which proved to" be a large needle, such as are used for coarse sewing. She has rapidly recovered her lieelth. The Continental Hotel of Philadelphia Made a narrow escape from destruction on Saturday night. Ages light in the kitchen department of the hotel set fire to the adja cent woodwork. The flames worked their way between the ceiling and floor, and con tinued to burn stubbornly for upwards of half an hour. A stream of water from a hydrant in the building was poured through a hole cut in the flooring, and it was not until the space had been flooded that the flames yieicied. Many of the employees of the hotel, who slept in the rooms over this part of the building, had retired, and the consternation among them was for a few minutes very great. But few of the guests were aware of the fire having occurred. Workmen are busy fixing up the Halls of the Senate and House of Representatives, at Harrisburg, for the appratiching session of the Legislature. Instead of the font* large chandeliers formerly pendant in each house, there will be four large gas reflectors in the ceiling, which are capable of light ing up both houses more brilliantly than the old arrangements. Improved ventila tors have been inserted, and several orna mental additions made. A young man named Wilmot, residing near Great Bend, Pa., met with a singulur accident recently. The family had pur chased a new stove, and had just kindled a fire, when young Wilmot, who was stand- Big near, was struck in his head with a bullet, which came from the hearth of the stove ur near it. This bullet shuttered a finger and a thumb, And then, passing up ward, went through the rim of his hat. It is supposed that the shot was contained In a cylindrical cartridge ; and that being in the stove when the fire was made, it was soon discharged by the beat, with the effect already described. , 'rho American Artikun says that If pegged boots are oceaskpnully dressed with petro leum between the soles and the upper leather they will not rip. II the soles are dressed with petroleum they will resik wet and wear well. The pegs are not affected by dryness after being well oiled. ' Vtolticegi §ittero. N o Mose r. CHANCE TO ADULTERATE MISIILICICS HERB BITTEI23 WILL EL ,VOLD, UN AND AFTER DEU. Ist, MULELY IN (ILA &X IT CAN LIE PROCUREDOF ALL DRUCWISTS In making the above change, and discontinu ing entirely the sate of !dishier's limb Bitten; In bulk, the proprietors deem that the people should be informed of the onuses which have called forth such action on their part. ' In the Mitt place, we hold that Mishler's Herb Bitters Is not a beverage, was never intended to be used tee a beverage, but that it is u suedl. Mind preparation of various herbs, &c., com pounded upon scientific principles, and in exact accordance with the formuhe of the phed.- ❑iacopla in the preparation of tinctures, &c. In fact, that it really Is a compound tincture of Cedron and other herbs, and, lie fur as possible removed, and differing from the many so-called Tonics, Bitters, Cordials, titomachics, which, for :he most part, are nothing but so many disguises assumed by whiskey, and are fur the mow part composed of a major port ion 01 the very vilest, quality of that article, flavored with mime strong drugs to destroy the nausea of the same, In order to tickle the palate, min ister to a depraved taste, and afford u plausible excite.: fur persons to drink whiskey under a Milerent name. fdlediler's Herb Bitters has been sold lu bulk, In this particular it had been unfortunate, for it hue thus been placed directly lu contact with tile above mentioned, and although its in- Windt+ merit, and sterling worth has enabled IL to sustain its high character, yet the people have naturally a certain distrust of the article tvlidn IL is found to be classed in the same cate gory with a number of whiskey preparations, bar drinks, and beverages. This 18 cue great disadvantage against which Mishier's Herb Bitters has to contend, but there Is still another. The demand for it has caused many unprincipled persons, who are not content w-th the profit derived lu a legiti mate manner from its sale, TO INCREASE THEIR GAINS BY ADULTERATION. They will purchase, perhaps, a barrel, and by the ad mixture of cheap whiskey and water, increase the quantity, making perhaps, two, or it may be three barrels of the counterfeit, from a single barrel of tile genuine, thus abusing the Confidence of their customers, impairing their health, and His likely, in many instances, in flicting serious injury thereby, besides doing injustice Lo the proprietors and damaging the reputation of the article. This is the most serious objection, but there is still another. Our desire is to have this prep aration for sale on the shelves of every drug gist, and country store dealer, thus placing It within easy access of all classes and every sec tion of the country. If the Bitters are sold in bulk, it is retailed principally at hotels, restau rants and taverns, so that druggists and mer chants can not safely and profitably sell it to their customers. At the hotels the Bitters is of LIMOS fearfully adulterated; while when sold lu bottles, It Is iMpossible to tamper with the medicine without relit' of detection. In hotels IL must be sold as a beverage; tyhlch is not the objector its manufacture—while as a medicine, securely sealed in u proper sized bottle, the Bitters can be retailed from the counter of every druggist and merchant in the country. DESHLER'S IiERI3 BITTERS ARE NOW SOLD ONLY IN BOTTLES. Let this fact be rem embered by the public Who muy consider all other preparations sold to bulk and under Its name, lie base and worth•, less counterfeits, CERTIFICATE-3 OF CURES EFFECTED BY MISHLER'S BITTERS.

The consequence was, I felt bad all the time. You remarked to me that I should take your Bitters—a good drink after each mehl— and if I should not be well by the time 1 had taken bottle, you would forfeit 8500. I tried them, and, to my astonishment, in the course of a few days I couldeat anything, and ae much as. Li chose, without the least inconvenience.
