Tow nship Officers' Bonds.—The law requires
that Supervisors and Overseers of the poor in the
M er*l Townshlpe, shall give toads for the faithful
performance of their dutlee witnin thirty days after
election —or on failure to do so the office becomes
secant. The writing or preparation of these bonds,
often imposes an amount of drugery upon some in
telligent but good natured Justice of the Peace, or
ether person which he would gladly avoid but ean
not.
We have recently prepared and printed blank
bonds expressly for these officers The Clerk, or
proper person for each Township should procure at
the expense of (be Township, a dozen or two of there
blanks to be used as occasion requires—which wo'd
prove not only a saving in expense to the Township,
but a relief from an uapleiuant task to the good
natured bond-writer.
Don't Forget—That next week is Court week ;
and that the printer is sadly in want of "greaae" for

ears.
Wanted !—Five hundred additional, prompt

It will do them goid. It will do us good It will

Almost a Fire.—Occurred at thenld frame buil

the corner just opposite our office. It seems that
soma articles of clothing got in too close proximity to
a hot stove-pipe, which passes up through the floor
into the second story, by which they were set on
fire. It was soon di.-covered and an alarm given
which caused (Uite a gathering of people with anx -
lous faces and Wooden pails The flames were speed

their usual places.
A fire in this building would undoubtedly have
resulted in the destruction of a largo amount of val

be eserci-ed by the occupants of this tenant house

Democratic Ctub Meeting.— An adjourned
meeting of the " Central Democratic Clab of Wyo
ming County" waa held at the Court House on Sat
urday evening, January 11th, for the pnrpose of per
fecting its organisation The meeting was called
to order by Hon Wm M. Piatt, President pro. tem.
and the report of tbe Committee, appointed at the
previous meeting to draft Ry-Laws, was called for.
Tbe Committee, through their chairman, reported
the following By-Laws, which were read and
adopted:
The regular meetings of this Ctub shall be on the
last .Saturday in each month (or oftener, at the call
of tbe President and Executive Committee) at 7
o'clock P. M.; at which, there may be political dia
cussions, reading of esanys, Ac.
It shall be the duty of the President to preside at
all meetings of the Club, to preserve order ; of the
Vice President, to preside in the absence of the Pres
ident ; of tbe Secretary, to record the proceedings of
tbe Club, and to preserve all books and papers be
longing to the same ; of tbe Treasurer, to receive
and disburse all funds belongmg to tbe Club, to
keep on account thereof, and to make report thereof
from time to time as tbe Club may order.
Tbe duties of tbe Executive Committee shall oon
list in circulating Democratic newspapers, Ac., in
arranging tbe time snd places for all public meet
ings, securing speakers, and otherwise carrying ont
the objects of tbe organisation, aa the Club may
direct.
The first business in order after the assembling of
tbe Club (unless otherwise directed,) shall be the
reading of ihe Constitution and Bv-Luws. Tbe Pres
ident shall then give a general invitation to ail pres
ent (not already members) to become members of
the Club by signing the same. It shall also be the
duty of each member of this Club to induce as many
persons as possible to become members of this organ
ization.
All moneys, for defraying expenses of the Club,
"bull be raised by assessment or subscription, from
time to timejAo be paid out by tbe Treasurer, as tbe
Club may direct
After the adoption of the By-Laws, the next busi
ness in order being tbe election of officers, tbe Club
proceeded to the election which resulted in tbe
choice of the following named persons for the ensu
ing year :
President—Ho.v WM. M. PIATT.
Vice President— THOMAS OSTKHHOIT.
Secretary— ALVlM DAV.
Treasurer— HAßVEY SICKI.ER.
Executive Committee — HON, R R LITTLE, WM.
B OvßitriKLß, Esq., and J. P. LODERICC.
Mr Little being called for, arose, adverted to tho
present situation of the two great parties of the
country. Tbe Democratic party had outlived all
the requiems and obituaries pronounced by the Rad
icals during the past six years. Instead of being
dead and buried, as bad been so ofteD repeated in
the past; it bad, by a fixed adherence to principles
which necer die; struggled on through the storms
of fanaticism and passion until now the clouds were
breaking away, and calm reason was nga>n asserting
its sway among the people, and triumph was again
peiching upon the standards of the Democracy in
every State where free elections were allowed. The
radicals who for years had beeo dictatorial and defi
ant, were now confessing more strongly, If possible,
by their arte than their woids tho utter weakoess of
themselves aod their cause, by manifesting so much
anxiety to place in Rom.nation a man who on all
tbe great questions of the day, either had no opin
ions at all, or if he bad, had not the courage to make
them known—who kept up a stubborn reticence up
on question* of vital importance to the natiun—
While, according to Gen, Grant, (for it was to hiin
that Mr. L. alluded) all the honors due to bim as a
persistent and stubborn military leader, he thought
other traits of character ami qualities of mind were
far more important in the chief magistrate of onr eo
long misgoverned country. That principles should
be more important now than epauletts or the uiagic
of a name Mr. L.'s remarks were well received
and highly applauded.
Tho President called for the reading of the Con
stitution, after which, a general invitation was ex
tended to all present (who subscribed to the price!-
pies set forth) to become members of the Club by
signing the Constitution and By-Laws
On motiun tbe proceedings of the Club were di- j
rected to be published in the Wyoming Democrat.
On motion the Club adjourned to meet at the
Court House the last Saturday in this month at 7
o'clock P. M.—notice of which was directed to I*
given through tbe columns of the Democrat.

Nicholson Correspondence.
NICHOLSON, 7an 13, 1898.
If it was not f.>r the excitement growing
out of the temperance question,or more prop
erly epeakng, * the Gi*>d Templar question,"
there would not be sufficient interest for a
communication at this tune, from this place.
The Course which has beeD pursued for
some months past, by a portion of the Order,
has had he rff. ct of producing much hard
feeling among many of our citizens which no
doubt wilt continue for a long time. The
great Templars' meeting held here on the
9'h, has by no means had the iff-el of recon
cling the rancor heretofore existing. There
were a number of distinguished lecturers
frotn different portions of our country who
look part in speaking. It waa said there
were some 35 lead.ng spirits of the Templar
organizaiion among ihem. U. V. Mace, who
was chosen chairman, Dr. Virgil, W. E.
Little and others represented the county of
Wyoming The meeting was held in the
Methodist Church. There were a goodly
number in attendance, Including men, women
and children—but very few ho Ti ter who were
n t ideniilieil ill some way with the order.
Rev. Davidson, 'he great mogul" or State
lecturer, being the main speaker, lead off.—
His address was well received, except thai
part wherein he accuMtl the aniisieinplars of
being barn burners, .tc , making a stirring
appeal to keep on and tight the batile of <em
perance, if the whiskyhes shot them in the
-treets. Intimating that some of the Order
may die in that way, especially in this coun
ty. Beautiful language for a Iter, reformer !
The Rev. Mr. Arm*, pastor of the Presbyte
rian church, fu:lowed wnh his puritanical ed
ucation, proclaiming himself to be a teacher
of morals, but uot in possession of that extra
cointnaodtuent given out by our Savior, viz :
charity. His advice being to do—as he does
have noth ug to do with auti-lemperance
men, either by word or deed, and do without
the necessaries of life rather than deal with
them.
If that is the coarse to be taken in promot
ing the temperance cause, or anv other reh-r
--■oation, and carried by such, it strikes me
that the Re*, gentlemen had better never
come to this place, as the most of our good
ptople have been taught Christianity in a dif
ferent way
Dr. A. C. Blakelce was next called and said
a few w> rds in his familiar strain, which
seemed tnole like benefitting the cause.
Dr. P. of jour town next addressed the
meeting somewhat radically, but in a plea-ant
manner. Dr. Virgil, of Meehoppen, next de
livered a fine address, being earnest and to
the point, but conservative. It was conceded
by true temperance men to be the best and
most telling speech lor the good of the cause,
taking the ground that ih people must be
educated to believe, in order ihat the restric
tion laws may be observed, and that persua
sion would have a more salutary effect than
force; his entire speech being well received
by conservative men aod women. It being
in fine contrast to Rev. Arms position, and
one that he might profit by, if he can appre
ciate a conservative and truly christian speech.
0 L. Halstead, Esq., next made a few re
marks upon the beneliis be had received in
becomings member of the order.
The speaking was closed by our truly char
itable and well known townsman, P. K- Will
iams. His pleasant manner in addreaatng tbe
andiencC; with so oncb christian like fueling,
wherein he so sbly portrayed the necessity
assisting the degraded, and extending a char
itable hand to all the unfortunate, cold not
help producing a good effect. It tfiuat have
brought a blush of shame to some of the an
sanctified christian teachers who preceded
him, especially those who took the privilege
of using such epithets as " barn-burners,"
" assassins," &c., applying them to those who
do not happen to be possessed of their ideas
of reformation, and advising Templar men to
hold no communication with such characters.
The pn>ceedings were interapereed bveing
mg and instrumental music, by Mr. Clark
Sissnn snd wife of Abington, snd was well
received. A vote was taken to sustain the
prohibitory law of Wyoming county, snd
strange to say in a meeting of the kind was
earned by a nice majority, which no doubt
will have a great effect upon our Legislature
The only arc dent occurring in this place
during the past week, was a lag bp-ken on
the person of Michael Hyan, by being run
against in Ihe street by Mr. L. Harding with
a horse and cutter. Fast horses are some
titaes too quick for some men, as in this
case. B.
A Temperance C'onventlen for the State of
Pennsylvania will be held at Ilarrisburg, beginning
on Tuesday, the 18ih day of Feb. 180*8, at 10 o'clock
A. M., and to continue as long as it find# business
or matter for its consideration: Arrangements have
been made with most of the Railroad companies to
furnish delegates or representatives of the various
Temperance organisations with/rct return ticket s,
making half fare to all such.
"All Churches, Colleges,and Academies, all Tem
perance Societies, Divisi ns of Sons of Temperance,
Temples of llonor, and Tcuipemppe, Lodges or Good
Templars, County Societies the Union
and a!l other friendly societies are requested to have
themselves represented by such number of delegates
as they may choose."
A Easy Wagon Seat has ben shown us by
Mr. A. Churchill who has the patent for this County
for sale. This very simple invention has only to be
seen, u> convince any one of its convenience in trav
eling over our magh roads with a lumber wagon,
market wagon or sleigh. It can be placed on and
taken off as easily as an ordinary board sea'—occu
pying no more space.—consisting of a few india-rub
ber spring bands, placed below the scat in such a
manner as to give it all the spring and elasticity of
the ordinary eleptic spring Mr. Churchill has one
of these seats on exhibition at Mr Baldwin's Hotel
whete he will remain for a few days for the purpose
of selling individual Townships or County rights.—
Farmers go and see it.

ADDRESS TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBlL
itated whose sufferings hare been protracted
j from bidden causes, mmf #hone cawi require prompt
j treatment to render existence desirable. If you are
suffering or have suffered from involuntary dischar-
I ges, what effect does it product hpon your general
j health 1 I)o yon feel weak, debilitated, easily
I tired 7 Does a little extra exertiod produce palpi
tation of the benrtl Does your lifer, or urinary
j organs, or yoar kidneys, frequently get JUt of order 7
I Is your urine sometimes thick, milky, or ffocky-, or
lis it ropy on settling ? Or do- s a thick sjoui rise to
! the top? Oris a sediment at the bottom aitv it
, has stood awhile 7 Do you have spells of short
breathing or dyspepsia 7 Are your bowels constipa
ted 7 Do you have -pells of fainting or rushes of
1 blood to the head 7 Is your memory impaired ! Is
vout mind constantly dwelling upon this subject 7
j Do you feel dull, listless, moptog, tired of company.
: of life 7 Do you wish to be left alone, to get away
I from everybody 7 Does any little thing miike you
! start orjumt>7 Is your sleep broken or restless 7
Is the lustre of rour eye as brilliant 7 The bloom
;on your cheek as bright 7 Do you enjoy yourself in
society as well 7 Do you pursue your business with
the same energy 7 Do you feel us much confidence
in yourself? Are your spirits dull and flagging,
given to fits of melancholy 7 If so, do not lay it to
vonr liver or dysjxpeta Have you restless nights!
Your back weak, your kr.ees weak, and hare but
little appetite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia
or liver complaint 7
1 Now, reader, self-abuse, veneral diseases badly
cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable o! pro
ducig a weakness of the generative organs. The or.
gans of generation, when in perfect health, make the
uian. Did you ever tbink that those bold, defiant,
energetic, persevering, successful business men are
always those whose generative Oceans are in per
fect health? You never bear such men complain of
being melancholy, of nervousness, of palpitation of
the heart. They are never afraid tbef cannot suc
ceed in business; they don't become sad and discour
aged ; they are always polite and pleasant in the
company of ladies, and look you and them right in 1
tbe face —none of your downcast looks or any other
meanness about them. Ido not mean those who j
keep the organs inflamed by running to excess. [
These will not only ruin t'jeir constitutions, but also i
those they do business vf Ith of for.
tlow many men from badly cured diseases from !
the effects of self-abuse and excesses, haVe brought i
about that state of weakness in those organs that has
reduced the general gysfeal so much as to induce al- I
most every other disease —idiocy, lunacy, paralysis,
spinal affections, suicide, and almost every other ,
form of disease which humanity is heir to, and the
real cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, I
and have doctored for all hut the right one.
Diseases of these organs require the use of a diu
