They afford almost immedi ate relief ; and.the most eminent of the faculty recommend them exclusively in thesn diseases, To enhance their value, being coated with su gar, they have no taste whatever of medicine, so that n child can take them as easy as jpep permint drops ; and then again they produce not the slightest sensation of gripe or nausea. In short they are so much superior to any oth er known medicine that a single trial will make any person a patron of them for life; and so assured is the proprietor of this, and so confi dent in their never•failing virtues, that he will immediately return the money paid for them in all cases where they do not give the most unlimited satisfaction.

BLEcrtox.—The election for President and Dirictors of the Gettysburg Rolfreed Company, .on Monday last, excited more-tha'n usual inter= eat. Two tickets were run, and the contest was kept up with more or lees excitement, which was brought to "fever heat" near the close of the election, by the Contractors (Messrs. lint/ dG Temon,) clhimifig the right to cast 460 votes under the contract with the Board. Their right to vote was challenged; but alums warm and protracted ergiunent„the' votes were re ceived by the officers of the election,and thus ended the contest in favor of the following gen tlemen : r. President—Robert M'Curdy. Directors:—Abram Kthle, O. W. M'Clellan, Josiah Beefier, Fuller Crane, J. W, Hendrix, S. Blircecler. D. M. Myers, H. Wertz, Jriseph Bailey, John Gilbert, D. Wills, and John B. M' Pherson. The defeated party, of course, take the result in 'high dudgeon," claiming to have received for their ticket a clear majority of the Stock holders' votes, and attribute their defeat to the votes of the Contractors. There has been some talk. of a writ of "Quo tourrunlo," to test the Legality of the votes cast by the Contractors; but we take it that the eicitement will subside i t due time, and that matters will pass oh smoothly. The great end to he accomplished is an early completion of the Road. and to this mud every praciicahle effort should be made by those interested in the enterprise.

Company. The President . and Directors, in retuning into the hands of the Stoelholdera the taste and responsibili#esiested in them at the last annual Bleetioa, feel much gratification its be ing able to present those assurances of lipid, and successful progress in the aork committed to their care, which will be found in this Re port, and the accompanying documents. Prior to the last annual meeting, the for mer Board bad entered into a contract with Messrs. lawat•and Tama, for grading and bridging the road from linnover to Gettysburg. the terms of which contract were thee sul>• mittcd to the Stockholders. During the year they have been complying with the coalitions of their contract, and the amount of work done on the road will be seen from an exami nation of the Report of the Chief engineer, I hereto annexed. Immediately after the lost election, and the organization of the present Board, they made arrangements for the collection of the Stock Subscriptions, and have during the year called in the instalmeuts as rapidly as the coalitions would admit. The amount paid in to the Treasury during the year will be sees in the accompanying l'reasurer's Report. Although there has been much promptness manifested by many of the Stockholders io the payment of their instalments, yet the operations of the, Company have been delayed some by the dil- 1 atorness of some, and the total neglect of a l , few persons in making payment on their stock This should not be tolerated any ten er—but prompt and coercive measures shouldhe reser red to to collect all arrearages. It is an in fraction of moral honesty to those who are punctual in making payments, to permit those who are in arrears to remain any longer thus, or to profit by their delay. The law provides the penalty for such a delay—and its wise pro vision should be enforced. Since the last election a supplement to the Charter, of the Company . was , passed by the , last Legislature, authorming the Co parry to procure a loan of money to complete the road: and as security therefor, to mortgage the road land issue Bonds for any amount-mot exceeding ) Two Hundred Thousand dollars. The amount I required to complete the road will he about one hundred and fifteen thousand dollara. -- And lan effort has been made to obtain a oarinty ' from the County for the payment of the interest on the I3ouds thus to be issued, but thus far) it has not been accomplished. A proposal was made to pay the County a premium or bonus of Fifteen /thousand dollars for,tho use of its credit. We legend this as just that much money made by the County, and, there foreohe proposition should at once be aceep• ted. It would at once be banefiting the! County in a pecuniary point of view—and at'! the same time ensure a stifedy sale of the Bonds of the Company at por Value. Without such a guaranty there must be a sacrifice made ou the Bonds of 10 or 15 per, cent. It is proved beyond dolibt'now by the very luera tive trade of the Hanover Branch Railroad and a comparison of the advantages of the ex tension to tbisplitee, that the Gettysburg Rail road :Mist will yield an income sufficient to pay the expenses of the road, and the in terest on the Winds ; and leave a surplus of-, ter a few years opennion. If this proposition to the County is finally rejected, ,the 'Leeds must he sold without the guaranty at home and in the cities at the best prices lien can be oh• tainell for them. It is sugested that every effort should immediately` be made to raise the balance cf money required to coMpleta the road, und with the proper effort the money can be raised ; and the road completed to Gettysburg by next Autumn. This is most important to stockholders who hare' money vested iu the road, . and to property holders in the town and comity. To this cud we would urge stockholders to be punctual in' the pay meat of their instalments 'on stock subscrip tion, and not cripple mid delay the operstan,.» of the Board by their tardiness. Your Beard have been itqiiitfg in their et forts to adjust the damages, and amicably se cure the right of way along the line of the road, anti with most of the land owners they were successful. With thase whom they could not adjust the damages they took the legal course and a few eases are sall in litigation.— . The amount of damages paid by, the Contnanc. will be seen in tlic accompanying Rvort of the Secretaq. This report also embraces. the a mount of stock subscription ; the amount paid in to the Trenaurer ; and the differeni items of expenditures for which orders were issued du ring the year. and to hid report you are respect fully referred fur information in rega. - d to the expenses of the Company in detail. Yourßoard, therefore, conclude this Report with an assurance of an abiding eunfidenee rn the early and complete success of tkis tent enterprise . By order of the Board. IL U'CL-RDY.
