Bi ck & Check Club Interesting Procee
dingsThe Vice President Withdraws. In
accordance with instructions received, the
members of the Buck club in our borough
made strenuous exertions to have a big' turn
out on Monday night, and did succeed in get
ting together nearly the original number,
twenty-lour. The countenances cf the leaders
betrayed the ecstacy of their feeling's at such
an immense gathering. Their elated feelings
were, however, destined soon to receive a
check. Immediately after being called to .or
der, Mr. J. II. Jones, a Vice President of
the club, rose and announced that he had well
considered the position occupied by Buchan
an, and found it was one of which ho could
not approve, resigned his position as one of
the officers, and requested that his name be
erased. Presto! what a change in the coun
tenances of the f liihful ! They tried to smile,
Lut made such sorrowful grimaces that the
tickled "outsiders" had to exert themselves to
suppress their laughter. They endeavored to
make up the loss by proposing persons for
membership, but, lu! hero they met with an
other reverse ! for a gentleman who they re
garded as 'certain,' intimated that he couldn't
go Buck ! Chop-fallen, indeed, were now the
faces of the "Unterrified."
Not a shout was heard, nor an exultant note,
As these men from their ranks were hurried,
Not a Loco smiled on taking his seat,
But all of them were considerably flurried!
Accident. Henry Ilurd, Esq., of Chest
creek, on Monday night, whilst lodging at the
Mansion House in this borough, rose, it is
supposed, in his sleep, and approaching the
window of his room on the second story, fell
out. He was not discovered until next morn
ing, having lain out ieveral hours. Dr. M.
Woods was called in, when it was ascertained
that he had sustained some severe injuries
about the spine and had a bone broken in one
of his arms. He is doing as well as could be
expected.
A Good Story is told of a fellow who was
to be married, but when the time was at hand,
the bride backed out The disappointed lov
yer' thereupon indignantly declared, "if sho
wouldn't have him, he'd be cursed if he'd
marry her." Sagacity says this is a perfect il
lustration of the position of the Buck and
Brcckclubon Monday evening, for after Mr.
Jones had withdrawn they very defiantly vo
ted him out !
Fatal Mistake. Early on the morning of
the 11th inst, Mr. Wm. M. Kelly, residing at
Carolina, Va., was awakened by a noise at his
bed-room door, and immediately seizing a
loaded gun, fired at the intruder, when he
found to his horror that he had shot his own
wife, who had just got up for the purpose of
fastening the chamber door. The poor lady
lingered uncomplainingly until the next day,
when she died.
Acquittal of IIekbeiit. Washington, July
.23. The Jury in the case of Herbert, charged
with the murder of Keating, after retiring for
three-quarters of an hour, rendered, this eve
ning, a verdict of acquital. The announce
ment was received with manifestations of joy,
and Mr. Herbert was immediately surrounded
by his friends, who accompanied him to the
Kirkwuod House.

Ilolloway's Pills possess most astonishing
powers in the cure of General Debility. Copy
of a lettter from Henry Antome, of Houston,
Chickasaw.Mississippi, to Professor llolloway,
'Sir, I suffered for a number of years from
weakness and general debility, and was bro't
to death's door by the same. I was told by
those I consulted that there was no hope of my
recovery, when I resolved to give your Pills a
trial. After using them about five weeks my
health was considerably improved, and at the
expiration of two months every symptom of
my disorder disappeared. II. Axtorxe.

HOLLO WAY'S
PILLS.
v.
AV11Y ARE AVE SICK t
IT has been the lot of the human race tube weigh,
ed down by disease and suffering. HOLLO
WAY'S PILLS arc specially adapted to the relief
of the WEAK, tho NERVOUS, the DELICATE,
and the INFIRM, of all climes, ages, sexes, aud
constitutions. Professor ilulloway personally tu
periutends the manufacture of his medicines in the
United States, aud offers iheiatoa free and enlight
ened people, as the best remedy the world ever
saw for the removal of disease.
THESE FILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD.
These famous Tills aw expressly combined to op-
lungs, tho skin, and the bowels, correcting any d
rangemcnt in their functions, purifying the blood,
the very fountain of lue, aid thus ehring disea
ia all its forms.
DISPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.
Nearly half the human race havo taken those
Pills. It has been proved in all parts of the world,
that nothing has been found equal to them iacasea
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints generally. Ihcyeooa give a healthy
tone to these organs, however much deranged, and
wheu all other means have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Oorcrnuicnts have o
pened their Custom Houses to the introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine cf
the masses. Learned Colleges admit that thi
medicine ii the best remedy ever known for per
sons of delicate health, or where the system- ha
been impaired, as its invigorating properties never
fail to niiora reisei. - -
.FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female, young or old. should be wfQidTrt this
celebrated medicine. It corrects and regulates the
monthly courses at all periods, acting iu many ea
ses like a charm, it is also ihe best and safest
medicine that can be Riven to Children of all asres.
