BEGS to inform the inhabitants of Harris

for the codildence and patronege bestowed on me during
my stay on Market Square, I hope to merit a continuance
of the same at try new stand.
PARTICULAR ATTENTION is called to the
CELEBRATED TINTED PARABOLE SPECTACLES,
for which I claim the undermentioned advantages:
Ist. That from the peculiar construction of the Glasses,
they assist and preserve the sight, rendering frequent
change quite unnecessary.
2d. That they confer abrilliancy and distinctness of vi
sion, with an amount of ease and comfort not hitherto en
joyed by spectacle wearers. _
3d. That the material from which the Lenses are ground
is manufactured specially for optical purposes, and is
°UDE, !LARD AND ntuLuANT, and MI liable to become
'scratched.
4th. That the frames in which they are set, whether in
gold, silver or steel, are of the finest quality and finish,
and tia.knenrEtin PERFECT in every respect.
sth. That, from their peculiar color, they prevent a su
perfluity of light affecting the retina,: and therefore
strengthening the optic nerve and rendering it less liable
to Aluaurosis.
Constantly on hand, a large assortment of Achromatic
Microscopes, Spy Glasses, Opera, Marine and Field Glass

BEWARE OF
Counterfeits
As Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron is the only sure and

community to purchase none but the genuitie article,

GENERAL DEPOT,

DRS. W YETH and CREAMER, Eclectic
and Electropathic physicians, respectfully offer
ttieirprofessional services in all the various branches of
the profession, for the treatment 01 all acute and chronic
forms of disease.
29
The remedial means they employ in the treatment of
disease consist of klagnetism, Galvanism, Electro.llagnet
ism, the Swedish method of Localized movement cure, a
few Eclectic medicines when deemed necessary, and in
fact all the natural curative agents that may successfully
he brought to bear upon the disease.
They do not wish to be understood as arrogating to
themselves any superiority of professional skill, but they
believe the remedies they employ In the treatment of dis
ease far superior to those generally employed byphysicians,
Item the fact that they act in perfect harmony with the
laws governing and controlling the human system. To
this, and the fact that they confine themselves to no par
ticular pathy or vslem, they attribute their success in
controlling disease.
The principal agent they employ in the treatment of
disease, namely, Electricity, is an agent wonderful in its
phenomena and powerful in its effects for good or 111 It
is an ever present, all-pervrding principle, governing all
things, from rolling worlds down to the invisible particles
of gasseous matter. We see it in the lightning's flash and
hear the manifestations of its power in the muttering
thunder. It is the cause of all decomposition, recompo
sition and transformation. It excites all motion. It is the
exciting cause of life growth, decay and death. It
causes secretion, excretion, digestion. It lays hold of the
crude food in the stomach, converts it into a state of flu
idity, transmutes it into arterial blood, and sends it on its
important °lnce of supplying nutilment according to the
necessities of the body. It is the nerve vital fluid, the
peat agent through which the mind acts upon the body.
It is the cause of all causes except the first great CaUSLIg
the Infinite Mind which created it and brought It into use.
These may appear like mere assertions, but they are
facts admitting of strong and irresistible proof. Is it then,
to be wondered at that an agent so wonderful in its phe
nomena, so powerful in its manifestations and so intimate
ly connected with all the operations of the human syn.
tem, should be almost absolute in its power of controlling
disease? Certainly not. It is a natural sequence and
follows as surely as day follows night,
Among the diseases which are found to yield readily to
Electricity, in conjunction with proper adjunct treatment,
may be mentioned the following; Incipient Consumption,
Paralysis, Elpiliptic, Hysteric - and other Convulsions;
Neuralgia, in its worst forms, Rhuematism, inflammatory
and chronic; all diseases of the nervous system ; Dyspep
sia cured in a few treatments; all diseases of the urinary
and genital organs; Female Diseases, Asthma, Piles and
Prolapsus AM; .Amaurosis and all kindred affections of
the eye; Auretus, Strictures, all skin diseases, &c.

Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent

and effects, I yet know of no sufficient reasons' why a
man may not testify to the benefits he believes himself to
have received from any simple preparation, in the hope
that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others
I do this the more readily in`regarcl to HoofhtniPs Ger

because I was prejudiced against them for many years,
under the impression that they were chiefly an Alcoholic
mixture. lam indebted to my friend, Robert Shoema
ker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests, and for encouragement to try them when • suffering
from great and long continued debility. The use of
three bottles of these Bitters at the beginning of the
present year, was followed by evident relief and restora

not for six months 'before, and had almost despaired of
regaining.- I therefore.thank - God and my friend for di

• WASHINGTON, May 2.
The expedition •which was sent out last
week and destroyed Madison Court House,
met no rebels till about a half mile from that
town; a slight skirmish then took place, in
which the rebels lost five men and the Union
soldiers none. The enemy then returned to
the Court House.
The Star has the following further particu
lars. The rebeluddenty disappeared, but on
our forces entering the town received a volley
of musketry from the windows of the houses,
and they were for a time compelled to with
draw. The officers in command of the recon
noitering party ordered another advance,
when again a destructive fire was opened on
thein, from the houses, and there being mo
other way of smoking the rebels out orders
were issued that the town should be fired.
The torch was applied to a number of
houses aftording cover for the enemy, where
upon the latter hastily decamped, leaving, our
forces in full pos3ession of the place.
The flames, however, spread very rapidly,
and there being no means at hand whereby
the fire could be checked, a general conflagra
tion was.the result, and in a short time almost
the entire town was in ashes.
The act was certainly not a wanton one on the
part of . the Union officers, but was rendered
necessary; by the desperate act of the rebels,
who used the house as a shelter for the pur
pose of slaughtering our troops.
The cavalry expedition sent ont from Vienna
on Thursday last under the command of Col.
Lowell, returned to that place yesterday after
having visited Leesburg, Rectortown and
Upperville.
Near the latter place, a portion of Moseby's
guerrilla band was encountered, when a sharp
fight ensued, which resulted in the capture of
23 prisoners.
Colonel Lowell lost three men killed and
four wounded. He returned in safety-to Vi
enna with the prisoners captured from Mose
by, and three blockade runners, twenty-five
horses, a large quantity of wool, tobaeo and
other contraband goods picked up, on the
