THE approaching campaign will be one

our Liberty will be ended upon to act
promptly and faithfully. It becomes the
Democratic party of Columbia County to
make good preparations for a vigorous

In order lo place the "STAR" within
the reach of every Democrat in the coun
ty we offer it on the following
- TERMS:
One copy 50cts,
Five copies $2 00
Ten do 3 50
Fifteen do 4 50
Twenty copies 5 00
At the above rates, we will supply
■ubecribers with the STAR from this date
until after the November election- We
hope our friends, during the present
month, will exert themselves and send us
in numerous clubs from nil parts of the
{county- .Although the paper will be
mainly devoted to the interests ol the Dem
ocratic party, other matters will not be
neglected. Local and general news will
still have the places. Address,

Uoslet, aged 27, was for nine yenr9 afflicted
with a very bad leg, there were several ugly
wounds in it, which defied all the doctor's
•kill and ingenuity lo heal. He tried a vari

same' At las; he was persuaded to have
recourse lo Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
These remedies quickly effected a favorable
change, and by cotilinueing them for three
months, his leg was completely cured and
hit general health thoroughly established.

FUR A MARVELLOUS AGE.
II olio way's Ointment.
THE GRAND EXTERNAL REMEDY!
|>Y the aid ol a microscope, we tee million
" of liule openings on Ihe surface of our
bodies. Through these this Ointment, when
rubbed on the skin, is carried to any organ
or inward part. Diseases of ihe Kidneys, dis
orders of the Liver, affections of the heart,
Inflammation on the Lungs, Asthmas, coughs
and colds, are by its means effectually cured.
Every housewife knows that atU passes Iree
ly through bone or meat ol any thickness.
This healing Ointment far more readily pen
eliAtee through any bone or fle.-hy part of
the living body, curing ihe most dangerous
inward complaints, that cannot be reached
bv oilier means
Erysipelas, Salt llhetim and Scorbutic
Humors.
No remedy has ever dm.e so much for Ihe
cure of disease of the Skin, whatever form
they inav assume, as this Ointment. No case
of Sail Kheum, Scurvy, sore heads, Scrofula,
or Erysipelas, can long withstand its influ
ences. The inventor has traveled over many
parts of Ihe globe, visiting the principle hos
pilals, dispensing this Ointment, giving ail
vice as to its application, and has thus been
the means of restoring 2ouclless numbers of
health.
Sore Legs, Sore Hrcasts, JFounds and
Ulcers.
Some of the most scientific surgeons now
rely solely on the use of this wotiderlul
Ointment, when having lo OQpe with the
worst cases of sores, wounds, ulcers, glandu
lar swellings.and tumors. Prof. Holloway has
by command of the Allied Governments,dis
patched lo the hospitals of the East, large
shipments of this Ointment, lo be used under
the direction of the Medical Staff, in the
worst cases of wounds. It will cureany ulcer,
glandular swelling, stiffness or contraction ol
the joints, even ol 20 years' standing.
Piles and Fistulas.
These and. other similar distressing com
plaints can be effectually cured if Ihe Oint
ment be well rubbed in over the parts affect
ed, and by otherwise following the printed
directions around each part.
Roth the Ointment and Pills should be
used in the following cases:
Bunions, Lumbago,
Burns, Mercurial Erup-
Cnapped Hands, lions,
Chilblains, Piles,
Fistulas, Rheumatism,
c *> ul > SJt Bheum,
Skin Diseases, Sore Legs,
Sore Breasts, Swelled Glands,
Sore Heads, Stiff Joints,
Sore Throats, Sores of all kinds,
Sprains, Scalds,
Ulcers, Wounds of all
Venereal Sores, kinds.
Sold at the Manufactories of Prof. Hollo
way, 80 Maiden Lane, New York, and 244
Strand, London, and by all respectable Drug
gists and Dealers ol Medicines throughout
the United States, and the civilized world,
in Pots, at 25 centsj62i cents, arid $1 each.

'Treason its quota of tax levied on the sd
"justed valuation, FIFTEEN days prior lo the

"shall be entitled to an abatement ol Jive per
"cent on the amount so paid."
I am induced lo send you this circular, not
so much trom the custom which has prevail

The large and pressing demands upon Ihe

ed, may causa • resort lo a temporary loan,
(which is not desirable.) unless relief is had
in the usual quarter from the counties.
The credit of the State, as well as Ihe gen
erous abatement she has allowed in case of
Drompt payment, will no doubt induce you lo
come to her relief
Be pleased to teply at an early day as lo

HERRING'S
The only Safe which, in every instance,
preserved the entire contents at
the late Extensive Fires.
AT THE BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN
BUILDJNGS, April 10th, and in the gieat
Jlre in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen
uine HERRING SANE preserved the Jewelry of
George W. Simms & Bro.; Books, Papers &c.
of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Sprnans & Co.,
aflar remaining exposed in the burning ruins
for nearly Foriy Hours, and proving conclu
sively what e have always claimed for
them, their great superiority over all securi
ties known.
In these fires, ihe HERRING'S SAFE,
Islanding atde by side with th'ose advertised
as "warranted instant) 10 per cent, more fire
than Herring's," came forth the acknowledg
etl victor, not only preserving their contents
in excellent order, but being themselves in a
condition to go through another ordeal, while
ihe boasted "Salamanders" of other makers
were badly used up in every instance, and
in some rases their entire contents completely
| destroyed.
To the public we would simply say, that,
I during ihe fourteen years of the Herring's
| Sale has been before them, more than two
hundred have passed through accidental fires
without the occurrence of a single loss.
We would, therefore, caution purchasers
against tho misrepresentation of interested
parlies. The Herring's Patent is the only I
Fire-proof Safe made in this city which is'
projected bv a Pstent Right, and we will'
guarantee it to resist more than double the
amount of heat of sny other Safe now known.

'I lie Soil Is a rich limestone loam, and es
pecially "dap ted to cultivation, aa it ia neither
hilly nor atony, hut gently rolling or fine table
land. Around and through ihia properly there
ore already some 20,000 acres under cultivation,
nod it 3 fertility has been established fromjthe
crops produced. Upon this subject it is easy
to be fully satisfied. There is a ready cash
market for pioducc which is touch .hotter than
trade, it is the CH E APEBT, as * land of a
similar quality is selling at much higher price*
' adjoining, and especially such as contains coal.
[ 'J'H I". COAL —This in particular is the Coal
I District, several veins underlaying the whole
j property, and the nttention of miners, and
: tb so acquainted with coal lands, ia specially
; called to it. It has the advantage of being the
I neatest In the great lake market, with which

If till road now under contract and in course of
completion from Erie to flidgeway, with fp
acending grade the whole way, fits soil over
I it ominous coal is the best, lor instance Eng
land nnd other tommies. 'lhe price per acre
ia trifling for the coal alone, as it will certain
ly, in so favorable a location within a short
time pay largely. This is important as an
immense coal trade will soon open. Foar coal
companies have already been started to work
m'tt es in the vicinity, and there are now fifteen
openings nround St. Mary's.
THE TIMBER, Stockholdcrs"also received.
Thre ia no reservation whatever either of
timlter or coal. It is very valuable, and will
pay for a great pall of the lar.d. On account
of the excellence of streams there are fine op
portunities for p>ilU.
FOR HEALTH, the location is much re.
commended Physicians. The chills and
fevers are unknown, also pulmonary complaints
being protected from the nortli east winds by
the Allegh.rnies. The water is pure and amongst

■ made for the building of tho Tyrone and Clear-

I The effect of this upon trade, and general de.
j velopment, ts well as the coal, may he imagined.
The large and fiourtahing town of Bt. Mary's
is in the centre of the tract, numbering near
3,000 inhabitants. It has hotels, good public
schools, saw antl grist mills, stores, wcllstocked
