They are the Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Per. feet Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter, and restoring the blood to a healthy condition, enriching.it, refreshing and invigorating botb mind and body. They are nary of administration; prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease. - . No Person can take these !litters accord. ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other mean; and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache, Paid in the Shouldera, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Duet. nee, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, In flammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kid ney.; and a hundred other painful eminent; are the off. springs of Dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. For Female Complaints, in young or old, mar, tied nr single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic hitters display so decided an influence that a marked improvement is soon perceptible. For Ingammatoby and Chronic. Mien. irmlism and Gout, Dyapepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood Liver, Kidney, and Bladder, these Bitters liner been mos: successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Illcmd, which is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs. They are a Gentle. Purgative as well as • Tonic, t.s.sessing also the peculiar Merit of acting as powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organ; .d in Bilious Diseases. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tette; Salt- Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples ' Pustules, Boils, Car buncles, Ring-worms, Scald.Head,Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scuds, Discoloration, of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name Of nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in alliort time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such Casel will convince the most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated flood whenever yon find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob. structed and sluggish in the ve'ins: cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. Grateful thousand• proclaim VINEGAR Ml' TRES the most wonderful Invisorant that ever sustained the sinking system. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, linking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist t There is scarcely an indiYidual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthyelements of the. body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease.

W. ELLIOTT, Speaker of the House of representatives JAIdEB B. ROTAN, Speaker of the Senate EDUCATIONAL. Proceedings of the General Teachers' Institute of Lehigh and Northampton counties held at Whitehall Station, Lehigh county, Pa., April, 20, 1872. The Institute was called to order by the President P. B. Troxell, after which the au• dienco was favored with music by the White hall Cornet Band. A prayer was offered by Mr. F. G. Bernt. Mr. W. J. Andres and John Yelles were appointed Secretaries. A com mittee consisting of Mr. F. K. Bernd, M. C. Henninger and T. Dietz, was appointed to draw up resolutions expressing the sentiments of the institute on the various topics discussed. After music P. B. Tmiell delivered an ad dress on the right modes of obtaining an edu• cution. He said—" It is obvious that it is no small thing to be a successful teacher." A. mad may have great literary attainments and may still fail to teach successfully. One of the chief errors into which many teachers often fall is the degree of assietance they should give to children. Great care is required In this respect. Neither too much nor too little aid should be given. There is a great deal of literary dandling in some of our common schools, and as a consequence a great many children are mere sickly nurslings and are never able to help themselves. He spoke a considerable time on the "pouring in and drawing nut process" in teaching. After music a report was read by Mr. T. Dietz on the subject "To what extent should the German Language be taught in our com mon schools." He brought forth a number of arguments both in favor and against teach• tog German in our public schools. Some of the reasons against it which he stated are, that all our laws and transactions in govern ment affairs are in the Efiglisb Language and that In only a few States the German Lan guage is extensively spoken in some districts, and where it is spoken it is only by the older people who are often deficient in the English. Some of the reasons in favor of It which he stated are that many received their instructions in the German Language and do not like to dispense with their mother tongue ; that all services in church are held in most places in our countries in that language, and that pa rents insist upon having their children cate chised where it is costomary in churches in the same language to coalesce with the regu lations of church. The discussion on the above subject was opened by Mr. John YON. He said that the deepest works are written in the German Language, that translating from the English into the •erman Language dis ciplines the mind as much as any other study and that a man becomes more able In the English. After music F. K. Bernd followed in the general discussion and touched the fol. lowing points: that children should become acquainted with as many languages as possi ble ; that the Pennsylvania Germans speak the English Language more grammatically than the English people, which advantage they owe to the translating ,of one Into the other, and that a clerk can obtain a higher salary In our large cities who has command of both languages. Mr. F. G. Bernd said that many of our children talk a language which they can not read or write, and read and write a language which they can not under. stand, which is a great absurdity ;"that a per son can better understand the English Lan guage by comparing it with another one ; and that parents are very carelul in qualifying their children in the English to transact busi ness in wordly affairs, but about 'the German they care very little to instruct them in re ligious affairs, Thu discussion was followed. by Andres, Henninger, Leisenriug and Haw. kings. On motion the discussion was closed. Saturday Morning Session; April 20,1872. The Institute was called to order by the Pres. dent, After music a prayer was offered by Mr. F. K. Bernd. The minutes of Friday evening session were read and approved. A committee coneitling of Miss Hattie M. Hell man, Charles Kocher and W. T. Morris was appointed to draw up final resolutions of the Institute. On receiving Information that the performers for the evening could not be pres. ent, on motion it was concluded to discuss the following subject: " Resolved, that we should have compulsory attenetme in or! common schools.' As Mr. A. F. K. Kraut, who was to, report on writing, was absent, Mr. W. H. Derr cp . .ned the discussion. He said that writing was too much neglected In our common schools, that the expression " a poor hand-writing selll answer" le' wrong; that the recitation should.not come at such times when the pupils are dull and weary; that in graded school, the whole class should have the same copy, write on the samh page and enslyze, the letters; end that small pupils should be taught first the printed style and afterwards the script. The gentleman then showed on the blatkboard the different prin ciples, and analysed a number of letters which he ably did with much credit to himself. He also said that in ungraded schools it. is very difficult to have them In regular classes but it should never be neglected. Mr. W. T. Morris said that ho agreed with the preceding gentleman in having more time spent in writing; that many troubles have or iginated through a poor hand writing, and that we should not only tell our pupils how to write, but also show them how to do it. He 'did not agree with the former gentleman in spending much time in writing the printed letters because we could teach the script just as soon. Mr. T. Dietz said that every school should be furnished with writing charts, and where this is not the case, the teacher should write the script letters on the blackboard that the letters may be always before the pupils' eyes. The discussion was followed by Messrs. Hen finger, Andrea and others. After Music an oral report was given by W. J. Andres "on the different Tables in Arithmetic and the best methods of teaching them." He said that In teaching the different tables, the teach er should always illustrate them practically, before memorizing them. He gave also the standards of the different tables and bow they may be obtained If lost. He said that every school house should be pro. vided with a yard stick, measures of capacity and balances to iliustrste the tables practically. Mr. F. B. Bender opened the discussion who agreed with the former gentleman in giving illustrations. He said that many of the prin. clples in arithmetic may be omitted in going over the subject the first time till their minds are more developed. The discussion was fol. lowed by Messrs. Morris, Henninger, Derr, and others. On motion ,the discussion was closed. The institute adjourned to meet again at 1.30 p. m. Saturday Afternoon &lesion, .Apri? 20, 1872 —The meeting was called to order by the President P. B. Troxell. After music ti pray. er was offered by Prof. F. P. Bender. A corn. mittee consisting of Mears. F. K. Bernd, W. J. Andres and John lieiles of Northampton County and Messrs. W. T. Morris. W. H. Derr and F. G.Beend of Lehigh County, was appointed to arrange the time, place, and pro gramme for the next meeting. Mr. P. P. Bender then gave an oral report on the question which was before the Legisla ture in regard to studying in the forenoon and reciting In the afternoon. he said that, the object of the bill as mulch as he could learn was to make the teacher ebb to give the pu• pile more assistance, and equally to rich and poor as far as advantages and disadvantages are concerned. Ho said that most pupils in our schools get too much assistance from some teachers, that the • one who makes the best recitations or who works the most problems does not always derive the proper benefit, but the one that works fer himself ; and that as general thing not the poor but the rich who have the best advantage give the most trouble as far as recitations are concerned. lii• Wither stated that to study three hours in seceesdon is harder on the mind than studying one hour and be at something else another; that it does away with studying in the evening but r!. marked that the young especially in our cities and towns want to do something in the even ing and therefore it is better if they do study than walk around at low and mean places,and that it is impracticable in our mixed schools. The discussion was opened by P. K. Bernd who said that the teacher has no power to compel pupils in our common schools to study In the evening, that six hours steady psental employment is sufficient for a day's hibor ; that to have all the lessons recited in the fore. noon and prepared in the afternoon is nt prac tical variance in our ungraded schools ; and that the , programme should be so arranged that Pupils do not get two recitations in suc cession, Mr. Henninger said if the, govern. ment should compel the teacher to hear the recitations in the forenoon and have the pu pils prepare the lessons in the afternoon, it would take too much power in their hands. The discussion was followed by Messrs Smith, Derr and Morris. On motion the discussion was closed. After music an oral report was given by M. C. Henninger on Physicti Geog raphy. He spoke on the importance of the subject, and how the mind may be directed to its Maker by a judicious teacher. He spoke of the condition of the earth in Its early peri ods and how volcanoes , mountains and val leys were brought forth. He gave also the resemblances between the two continents. He spoke also of the importance of mountains in a country, and the appearing contradictions between the Bible and Science. The discuss ion was opened by W. T. Morris, who thinks there should he more attention. paid to physi cal and lees to political geography. He also Raid that studying the reasons of the different changes in nature disciplines the mind as much as any other branch and that we should have in our schools fewer branches taught at the same time and finish one before taking up others. The discussion was followed by Mr. Derr and others. After music, on motion the Institute adjourned till 7. P. M. Saturday Evening Melon, April 20, 1872 The Institute was culled to order by the Presi dent P. B. Troxell. After mueic a prayer was offered by Mr. William Leiseuring. The minutes of the afternoon session were read and approved. Mr. F. K. Bernd, Chnirman of the committee, handed in the following re solution, which were adopted : First on the President's address: Resolved, that the minds of our pupils should be 'col..i vated not so much by the pouring In process as by the drowning out process. • Second, the ittbkct to what extent should the German Language be taught in our Ger man Districts: Resolved, that after the child can read and write the English Language to a certain extent, it is advisable in our German Districts to teach the German Language, so us to be able to compare both languages by trans luting one into the other. Third, on Writing : Resolved, that in teach ing penmanship, there should be a system adopted and the teacher and scholars should conk= to this system ; and that the teacher should call attention to errors and make illus trations and corrections of the same on the board. Fourth, on Tables In arlibmetic : Resolved, that the tables should be expialbed and Illus. trated before they aro committed. Committee—F. K. Bernd, T. Dietz, M. C. Henninger. After music the following subject was dis• cussed : Resolved, that we should have com pulsory attendance. The discussion was opened by F. K. Bernd. Ho said that some might say it would deprive us of our liberty hut it is not so ; It is not our intention to com• pel parents to send their children from eight to ten months daily, but we want our parents to he forced to send their children regularly at least twelve weeks every year ; and that the importance of Irregular attendance can be seen by examining those who have to stay from school a few days every week. Mr. M. C. Henninger said that compulsory attendance takes away the liberty of our people, that If we allow our legislature to pass a law to have compulsory attendance from two to five month they will soon compel children to attend ten months; and that the majority of people would oppose It at present and more harm would re sult from it than good, because it does not agree with our republican principles of gov ernment. Mt. F. P. Bender said that we do not oppress our people when wo make them intelligent, that we have just as much right to compel parents to send their children regu• larly to school and thereby force Intelligence upon them as they (namely parents) have to force their children t, take bitter medicine, when sick; and that there are too many cases where children are permitted _to May from school for a very little cause .. 'Mt; Bates was called upon to oppose the redolution, but he said that he could not do it betifuse he advo cated compulsory attendance for the last ten or twelve years. After a warm debate the discussion was closed. A declison by the house (all present included) was given in fa vor of compulsory attendance. After music Mr. F. P. Bender gave a Ger man address. He spoke on the duty and re sponalhility of parents in educating their children. The more the minds of our youth are cultivated Intellectually and morally the better will be the future condition of our coun try. He held that our teachers are not paid as they should be. After music Mi. F. P. Bender also read a lecture on "Self culture." Mr. W. T..Morris,a member of the committee of final resolutions, handed In the following resolutions:— Resolved, That this General Institute has reason to congratulate Itself on the success at. tending this, its four meeting. Retained, That we tender to the citizens of this town our heartfelt thanks for the hospita• b'a manner in which they entertained, at their homes, the members of the Institute That our cordial thanks are extended to the White hall Cornet Band for enlivening our meetings with excellent music. Resolved, That the various officers of the Association, especially the President, Mr. Troxell, have our thanks for the promptness and ability with which they discharged their duties. That we gratefully extend to Profes sor Bender, of Weaveraville Academy, our thanks for his stirring and edifylngaddresses, (English and German) delivered under dis advantage to him, because of short notice. Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be sent to the Liman REatsvut and Bethle hem Times for publication. Miss Battle M. Heilman, and Messrs. C. Kocher, Wm. T Morris, Committee.

ChlefJuntlee Chace Holds Aloof—The Dem. ocralle Party We only Hope for Reform. CINCINNATI, Aprill3o.—Chlef Justice Chase has written a letter to a member of the Cin cinnati convention declining to allow ' his name to be used for the Presidency. Re says the ilbjeCts sought by the men gathered at Cinclatiati are very good in their way, but from his knowledge of the leaders of the move ment, he can place no faith in their sincerity. Therefore, he is of the opinion that the only true reform can come from the Democratic party, purged aa It is of all Such elementi as. the Southern slave drivers and the Tweeds and Connelly') of New York. He sees perso nal pique the ruling motive with such men as Greeley, Trumbull, Fenton, Schurz, Palmer and Gratz Brown, and such being the fact the Democracy will make a great mistake if they yield up their powerful organization to the whims of such leaders. An effort will be made to have the letter read in the convention, but the person to whom it Is addressed is such a strong partisan of the new movement that he fears its effect. It Is said, however, that a number of delegates who are here secretly in the interest of Gene ral Grant will have the letter read, having procured a copy. Theee same persons have letters from Wen dell Phillips, Senator Sumner, Taman Tre meine and Fred Douglass, all of whom refuse to lend their support to the convention. As these men have been claimed as favoring the movement, these Grant men Intend putting their letters on record in the convention. Delegates are arriving in large numbers, and there is much enthusiasm. The attempt to run the Convention without bringing into existence the usual political convention mach inery has already proved itself a fulling. In order to free the proceedings.from. king and windy speeches and resolutions it will be necessary to adopt the rules of the House of Representatives, which will limit debate and send all resolutions to committee without de bate. General Kane, of the Bucktalls, ls to be president of the Pennsylvania delegation. Aleck McClure and his Philadelphia crowd create much interest. Great things are ex pected from Honest Meek. • Among the Louisiana delegation Is that old Philadelphian, A. B. Sloanaker v better, known as." Wax-works" Sloanaker. He has been en gaged as a professtonal lobbyist around the Louisiana Legislature during the last three years. He is an excellent reformer. The Democratic leiulers of. this place, are taking an active part in caucusing with the managers of the Convention. They want Adams or Davis, and the opinion la 'quite general that the nomlnee.wlll be one or the. other of these gentlemen. Ream. 4LLS,II,TOwzr.
