The "Mountain Cavalry," is the name of a
horse company that is being raised by sonic of
the citizens of Morris, Graham, Bradford and
Girard, the headquarters, we understand, to
le atKylertown. Those taking an interest in
the matter, are actively at work getting cni
lorrus made and taking such other steps as will
ensure its early organization. The military
spirit in this county seems to have been bright
ening up for some time, and among the com
panies formed during the past year, is a fine
one called tbe Clearfield Rifle Company.
One morning last week, Judge Wright went
to his field to bring in his horse. The grass

didn't want to astonish the town by acting
"Mazeppa," and was just practicing a little

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My attention 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 advertise 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, "TheOldcst in tho 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. Their state
ment, that this is '-The fifth year of their location
in New York," is also faise. -r
It has been thought, 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 arc conducted. And holding
the position I do, as the Originator of the Gift
Book Enterprise in the United States having es
tablished it and brought it to its present high po
sition, by constant labor, unwearied application,
and large expenditure of money, I deem it my du
ty to the public and myself to expose theso pre
tended '-originators," who are attempting to im
pose upon the people. I would here publicly state
that theso parties have been referring, without
authority or permission,, to the largest and most
widely known publishing house in the United
States. Iam informed by this firm, which is lo
cated in this city, that, not only have they never
given permission to this New York Gift Storo to
refer to them, but they utterly disclaim any knowl
edge of their business or standing. The fore
going can be substantiated to the satisfaction of
any person or persons, by the most incontroverti
ble proofs. July HjJ85-6n.

SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, or corruption of the
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 on
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, 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 the
constitution, descending from parents '-to children
unto the third and fourth generation;' indeed it
seems to be the rod of Him who says. liI will visit
the iniquities of the fathers upon thair children."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous mattcr,whioh. in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in
tho glands, swellings ; and on the surface, erup
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand tbe 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 deceminatcs the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination j and many destructive diseases of the
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 lurking contamination,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system we must renovate the blood by
an alterative medicine. and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Ayer's Compound ExtracC o f Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical skill
of our times can devise for this every where pre
vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from tho
most active remedial? that have been discovered
for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the'
blood, and the rescue of the system from its des
tructive consequences. Hence it should beemplo--ed
for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those'
other affections which arise from it, sneh as Erup
tive and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony's Fire. Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, B!otthes,: Blins
and Boils, Tumors, Tetter and Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia. Debility,
and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitiated
or Impure Blood. The popular belief in "impuri
ty of the blood"1 is founded in truth, for scrofula m
a degeneration of the blood. The practical 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 TILLS. or a ,.;,,
ses of a family physic, are so composed that dis
ease within the range of their action can rarely
withstand or evade them. Their pOnetrating pro
perties search, and cleanse, -and invigorate every
portion of the human crganism, correcting iu dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.

usefulness and so numerous arc the cases of iU

antidotes to employ for th distre&ring-and danger
