    STAR OF THE NORTH.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1859.
COL. TATE is informed that Charles Cling
erraan has returned that Ink to the Democrat
Office, which was borrowed some two weeks
eince, without our knowledge and certainly
against our will, from thai establishment.—
The Col. keeps a poor article; we don't wish
To exchange GOOD INK for that which is de
ficient in quality. So this squares us with
the Col. in the Ink business nolens volens.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A son of Mr. Enoch
('adman was very badly injured on last Mon
day, in one of the lrondate Company's
mines. He was coming out of the mine
when he was overtaken by one of the cars;
and the drift being too narrow for him to
escape, he was injured. He endeavored to
get upon the car, but failed in the attempt,
and the car passed over one of his legs and
foot, breaking the leg in a horrible manner
immediately above the ankle. It was (ear
ed at first that amputation would be neces
sary, but it is thought since that the fracture
can be healed, although he may be lame for
life.
WE NOTICE a short editorial squib in the
t last Columbia Democrat of this place, in re- 1
iation to running to the cities for printing
done. That is all right in the Colonel; tne J
public had ought to support home industry.,
But the public will go where they can got
work done the best and cheapest. What
■do they care for your " cold shoulder;" to
some of them it should have been cold
years ago. We think if the Colonel con
tinues on doing job work for the public,
tbey will get their eyes open presently;
when they can get work done neater and
cheaper than he is able to do it without
"running away from home."
FREE LITERARY LECTURE AND READING
ROOM. —The Iron City College, of Pittsburg,
Pa., employs the most distinguished speak
ers far its course of Lectures, held in Col
lege Hall every Frioay evening, and several
hundred papers and Magazines are taken
each week for the Public Reading Room.
These are some ol lite advantages young
men gain in attending this, the largest,
most popular and efficient Commercial
College of the country, having now 357
students.
ON LAST Wednesday a serious accident
occurred on the down train of the Lacka
wanna and Bloomsburg Railroad. The en
gine run over a cow, damaging one of the
cars, throwing it off the track, and breaking
a leg for the baggage master, Mr. Tubbs.—
Dr. Harrison was takeii up to the place of ac
cident to set the broken limb. We under
stand that the young man is doing well un
der the circumstances.
The cow, we learn, fared bad—died.
THOMAS E. EVES, of Millville, has receiv
■ed the contract for building the fence around
the ground of the Agricultutal Society, he
being the lowest bidder. He also furnishes
the materials for fencing,'and performs the
contract at one dollar and fifty cents per
pannel. This may seem to some a large
price, but after the fashion the fence is re
quired to be built, it is low enough ; besides
we may rest assured in having a good fence.
KILLED.—A cow, belonging to John Ster
ner, of this place, was, on last Wednesday
morning, run over by the cars on the
Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad, near
town. The cow since has died. More
care should be taken by the negligent parties,
whosover they are—owners of cattle or
owners of railroads.
ACCIDENT.— On last Friday a valuable horse
belonging lo Mr. Harvey Brumbach, was
drowned in the river, about three miles be
low this place. The horse and cart were
used on the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg
Railroad Extension. It seems that the dri
ver was in the act of dumpingthe cart, when
the horse backed over the bank, into the
fiver, and drowned.
Oua TOWN was visited on last Wednesday
by STOES' Silver Cornet Band, of Danville.—
They were on their way home from attend
ing the celebration of Washington's Birth
day at Pittston. They treated our citizens
To a few of their choice pieces. This is an
excellent Band.
A BILL has been read in the Senate by
our worthy member, REUBEN KELLER, to in
corporate the "Columbia County Agricultural,
Horticultural, and Mechanical Association."—
The members are patiently waiting its pas
sage through both branches. This bill was
introduced on the llth ultimo.
TH RT. REV. BISHOP BOWMAN preached at
Christ Church, at Towanda, on last Thurs
day, and administered the rite of confirma
tion to nineteen persons. The Bishop is
making a pretty general sweep over this
Stale.
At a meeting of the Senatorial Conference
held at Lock Haveß, on the 13th ult., for the
Counties of Centre, Clinton and Lycoming,
Mr. T. M. HALL was elected Senatorial del
egate to the Democratic Stale Convention
which will meet on the 16th inst.
NEW Yogx is certainly a great city. They
have now aXrDog boarding house," one is

ROXBURY MASS.
Dear Madam—The reputation of the Med
ical discovery, in curing all kind of humors,
is so well established by the unanimous
voice of all who have ever used it, that I
need not say any thing on the subject, ss
the most skilful physicians and the most
careful Druggist in the country ate unani
mous in its praise.
In presenting (he Medical Discovery to
your notice, I do it with a full knowledge of
its curative power, in relieving all, and cur
ing tnoat of those diseases to which you ate
unfortunately so liable. The most exurUci
ating disease to an affectionate mother,
NURSING SORE MOUTH,
Is cured as if by a miracle; your own lem
' per is restored to its natural sweetness, and
your babe from short and fretful mips In
calm and sweet slumbers; aud the medical
discovery becomes a fountain of blessing to
your husband and housholtf,
lu lite advanced stages of
v, \ ,\ k i: ie
it extends to the stomach, causing
DYSPEPSIA,
which is nothing but canker on the stomach
then to the iufestines and
Kidneys,
creating a sinking, gone tceling, and an in.
difference even to the cares of your family.
Your stomach is
RAW AND INFLAMED,
your food distresses you, and you can only
lake certain kinds, and oven of lhal your
system does nol gt half the nourishment it
contains as the aenmonous fluid ot the cank
er eats it up; then your complexion loses its
bloom and becomessallow and greenish, and
your best day is gone. For want of nourish j
mont your system becomes loose and flabby,
and the fibres of your body becomes relax J
ed. Titer, follows a train of disease which
the Medical Discovery is peculiarly adapted
to CURE; Palpitation of the heart, pain in
the side, weakness ot the soine and small of
the back, pain of the hip joint when you re
tire, irregularity ol ttie bowels, and also, (list
most excruciating of disease, the
FILE S.
How many thousands ol poor women are
suffering from this disease and pining away
a miserable lile, and their next door neigh
bor does not know the cause, 1 wish to im-
I press on your mind that good old proverb,
"An ounce of preve/ttion is better than a
pound of cure.'' In the
IQeilical l>i*eo*ei*y
you have both the preventive and the cure,
with this great and good quality, that it wilt
never under any circumstances, do you any
injury.
No change of dipt ever necessary—eat the
best you can get and enough of it.
Directions lor use.—Adults one table spoon
ful per day. Children over leu years dessert
spoonful. Children from five to eight years,
lea spoonful. As no directions can he appli
cable to all constitutions, take sufficient to
operate ou the bowels twice a day.
