The Administrator of Geo. Smith, dec'd,
offers some valuable real estate for sale.
A camp-meeting is to be held near New
"Washington, commencing on the 20th day of
Acgust. -
A. H. Feirce & Bro., near New Washington,
want a pair of good work cattle. See adver
tisement. We direct the attention of our New Wash
ington subscribers to the advertisement of
I)r.A. M. Ilills, who will visit that place a
tout the 9th of Augnst. Persons wishing to
procure artificial teeth, or have anything in
iris line attended to, should not fail to give
bim a call.
Accidext. On hist Wednesday, our ven
erable and respected friend, Martin Nichols,
Sr., was engaged at making some liniment
that contained some very combustible ar
ticles, which ignited as lie was lifting the pan
from the stove,and flashing up in a great blaze,
severely burned his lace and felt hand. One
of his knees was also blistered.
More Caxdidates. In addition to the can
didates for nomination at the Democratic pri
mary election, mentioned in our last, there
have since been announced, David Ross, of
Pike, for Treasurer, John P. Dale, of Pihe,
for Commissiouer, and Win. F. Johnston, of
Union, for the Assembly; and we understand
that W. Johnston Hemphill of Lawrence is out
for Register & Recorder, and "long Frank
Pierce' of Bradford, for Prothonotary.
Board-Kils Bcrxed. On last Saturday the
board kiln of Mr. Thomas Kirk, adjoining the
"village of Lnthersburg, took fire and burned
up about 8,000 f2t of material. The stuff was
worth at least $80.00 to $100,00, but the loss
is more seriously felt on account of the diffi
culty in procuring well-seasoned material for
a new dwelling honse, which he was about e
recting. Mr. Kirk appears to be peculiarly
unfortunate this season, he having had his en
tire grain crop frozen in the spring.
DisTitEssisa Occcrresce. On Friday the
15th inst., while two little girls, daughters of
Mr. Joseph White, of Lnthersburg, were "see
sawing," one of them fell to the ground and
broke an arm below the elbow. Medical aid
was soon procured, and it was thought the arm
wa doing well, but mortification ensued, and
on Friday following just one week after she
fell the child was consigned to her last rest,
having died from the effects of the injury.
She was abont 8 years of age.
Fire. On Monday the I8th inst., about
noon, the citizens of Lnthersburg were start
led by the cry ol '-fire," and upon hastening
into the street saw a densu smoke gushing
forth from the tine new building of Mr. F. K.
Arnold, which is nearly finished, and it was
soon lound that the parlor was on Gre. By
the prompt and energetic efforts of the citi
zens, the flames were subdued, but not before
they had completely charred the wood-work
of the room, broken all the glass in the win
dows and caused the plasteriug to fail from
the walls. A quantity of carpenter's tools
were also destroyed. Mr. Arnold's loss will
be considerable. If, unfortunately the bouse
had been burned, from its location and the
course of the wind, the greater part of the
village would have inevitably been burned to
the ground. It is not known how the fire
originated, unless the shavings in the room
were ignited bv a careless use of malches or a
cigar. Our informant says it seems to be
iuite fashionable for carpenters in Lutbers-
Lurg to have a pipe or cigar in their mouths
while working in shavings knee-deep, and the
only wonder is that within the last few years,
the houses were not all burned before they
were finished, from a reckless indulgence in
smoking.
As the following was accompanied by a gold
dollar, 'to pay the printing," we give it room,
although somewhat late in the season. We
take this opportunity, however, of requesting
Sour friends, when they have auything to com
municate, to send it at as early a day as possi-
h.i..

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My uttcntion has been called to statements made
through the public journals, by a New York Gift
Sto. e, which are calculated to deceive ; who even
presume to advertiso themselves as the originators
of the Gift Book Enterprise, which was first suc
cessfully established, and I may say honarably
conducted by myself. This concern, who are pro
claiming themselves, "ThcOldestin the business,"
are indebted to me, not only for their first ideas of
conducting the business, but for stock to commence
with, and a place to commence in. Iheir state
ment, that this is '-The fifth year of their location
in New York," is also faise.
It has been thoucht, on account of the name
connected with this New York Gift Store, that it
was a branch of my Original Enterprise; but it is
not so, and I wish it distinctly understood, that I
am not in any way responsible for their deceptive
advertisements, nor for the manner in which New
York Gift concerns are conducted. And holding
the position I do, as the Originator of the Gift
Book Enterprise in the United tetatcs having es
tablished it and brought it to its present nigu po
sition, by constant labor, unwearied apPi..".y",
and large expenditure of money, I deem it my du
ty to the public and myself to expose these pre
tended ' originators," who are attempting to im
pose upon the people. I would here publicly state
that these parties have been referring, without
authority of permission, to the largest ami I most

SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, i a con
stitutional disease, a taint, orcorruption of tho
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease ou
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroj-. Thu
scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
fool, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and, above all. by the venereal infec
tion. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in tho
constitution, descending from parents "to children
unto the third and fourth generation;"' indeed i:
seems to bo the rod of Him who says. "I wiil visit
tho iniquities of the fathers upon thoir children."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of -corrupt and ulcerous mattcr,whioh, in the lung?,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in
the glands, swellings; and on the .surface, erup
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in tho blood, depresses the energies of life, so '
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer fro?
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, are still
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. - Most
of the consumption which deccuiinates the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination, and many destructive diseases of tht
liver, kidneys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; their
persons are invaded by this lurkingcontamlnation,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleansn
it from the system we must renovate the bloo I bv
an alterative medicine.and invigorate it by hea'th V
food and exercise. Such a meaicinc we supply i'u
Ayefs Compound Fxtrart of Sarsapartlla,
the most effectual remedy which tho medical skill
of ir (iiues can devise for this every where pre
vailing and fatal inala-lr. It is combined from thj
most active remedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of this foul disorder from tho
blood, and the rescue of the system from its des
tructive consequences. Hence it should be employ
ed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also thosa
other affections which arise from it, such as Erup
tive and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony's Fire. Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Blalns
and Boi'.s, Tumors, Tetter and Salt Rheum, Sald
Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia. Debilitv,
and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitiate!
or Impure Blood. The popular belief in impuri
ty of the blood"1- is founded in truth, for scrofula is
adegeneration of the blood. Thcpractieal purpose
and virtue of the Sarsaparilla is to purify and re
generate this vital fluid, without which sound
health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
AVER'S CATHARTIC PILLS, for all the purpo
ses of a famil y ph y sic, are so composed that dis
ease within the range of their action can rarely
withstand or evade them. Their penetrating pro
perties search, and cleanse, and invigorate cverv
portion of the human crjranistn. corrcetin-jr its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of these properties, the inalid
who is bowed down with pain ar physical debil
ity is astonished to find his health or energy re
stored by a remedyat onco so simple and inviting
Not only do they euro the evcry-day ctinplainw

Croup. Bronchi tit. Incipient Consumption. a ul for

usefulness and so numerous are the cases of iU
cures, that almost every section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, wh6 have been restor
ed from alarming and even desperato diseases of
the lungs by its use. . When once tried, its superi
ority over every othcr.uiedicine of its kit d is to.,
apparent to escape observation, and wheie its vir
tues are known, the public no longer hesitate what
antidotes to employ for the distressing and danger
ous aOoctionsof tbepulmonary organs that are in

dies thrust upon the community hme failed and
