; Catciiing a -Bear' On Wednesday evening
Mveek, Mr. George Hess, of Lawrence town
ship, set a trap in a cornfield of Harrison Mil
ler, near Clearfield creek, to catch a bear,
which had been committing depredations on
cornfields in the neighborhood, having des
troyed about 40 bushels lor one man. On
visiting the trap on Thursday morning the
bear was on the ground, detained, no doubt,
against his will. Some 8 or 10 persons soon
assembled, and were much delighted at the
prospect of oiling their mouths with "bar's
greas." Bruin, however, not much admiring
their rejoiciug, concluded to be olT, if possi
ble. In his anger he soon bit oil a sapling,
some four inches thick, to which the trap was
chained, and commenced making tracks. The
trap being fast to his foot, impeded his pro
gress, but coming to a log, he soon rid him
self of it, by beating it to pieces, and then
went on his way rejoicing. Nearly half the
persons present had guns, but the "bar fever"
had siezed upon them so firmly that neither
thought of shooting, until Bruin had made
good his escape, most likely to feast in some
other cornfield, thanking his stars for his nar
row escape from being eat by hungry men.
It is a com Dion observation that there are more
sufferers from debility, nraong Americans, than can
be found among any other civilized nation. The
reason is obvious. We take too little exercise. and
forget the wants of the body in the absorbing pur
suits of business. 1 n all cases, ordinary medicines
can do no good. What is required is just such a
tonic and iuvigorator as Dr. J. Hostettcr has given
to the world, in his celclirattrt 'Bitters.'''' The weak
and nervous denizen of the counting-house, the ex
hausted toiler upon tbe shop-DoarJ, and tbe pros
trated student of the midnight lamp, have found a
wonderful regenerator in tbe "Bitters." and prefer
it to more pretentions, but less efficacious medi
cines. I'ut it should not be forgotten that the a
gent which is so magical in its influence upon a
frame which is merely debilitated, is equally pow
erful in assisting nature to expel tho most terrible
forms of disease Who would not give it a trial

SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, orcorruption of the
b'ooJ, 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 thore one which it may Dot destroy. The
scrofulous taint it variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing viees. and, above all. by the venereal iufec
tion. Whatever be its origin, it i3 hereditary in the
coastitution, descending from parents "to children
unto the third and fourth generation;"' indeed, it
seems to be the rod of Him who says. "I will visit
the iniquities of the fathersupon thairchildren."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt aud ulcerous matter.whioh. in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; ir
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which jren?
ders in tho blood, depresses the ncrg1es of life, so
itivus iiui viii j cuuer iroui
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
io witnstana toe attacK3 oi otner mseases ; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by dijorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, arc still
rendered fatal by this taint in tho system: Most
of the consumption which deccminates the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination, and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kidneys, brain, and iudeed, of all tho organs,
arise frin or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quartcrof all our people are scrofulous; their
persons arc invaded by this lurking contamination,
aod 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 laedieine wc supply in
Ayes Compound Extract of Sarstipnritla,
tbe most effectual remedy which the medical skill
of our times can devise for this everywhere pre
vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the
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 be employ
ed for the euro of not only scrofula, but also those
other affections which arise from it. ueh as Erup
tive and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony's Fire, Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules. Blotches. Blains
and I5oi!s, 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' is founded in truth, for scrofula is
a degeneration of tho 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 PILLS, for all the pur,?o
tes of a family physic, 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 every
portion of tho human erganism. correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of these properties, the inalid
who is bowed down with pain or physical debil
ity is astonished to find his health or energy re
stored by a remedy at once sosifapleand inviting
Not only do they cure tho cvery-day complaints

cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronch itis, Inci pieutConsumption, and for
the relief of Consumptive Patients in, advanced
stages of the disease. So wide is tho field of its
usefulness nnd so numerous are the cases of its
cures, that almost every section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restor
ed from alarming and even desperate diseases of
tho lungs by its use. When onee tried, its superi
ority over every othor medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its vir
tues arc known, the public no longer hesitate what
antidotes to employ for the distressing and danger
ous affections of the pulmonary organs that are in
cident to our climate. While many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted tbey can
never forget, and produced cures too numerous
and too remarkablo ever to be forgotten.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO" BOOK BUYERS
My attention has been called to statements raad
through the publie journals,- by a New York Gift
Sto e, which are calculated to deceive ; wbo even
presume to advertise themselves as the originator
of the Gift Book Enterprise, Which was first suc
cessfully established, and I may say houarably
conducted by myself. This concern, who are pro
claiming themselves, "The Oldest in the business,"'
are indebted to me, not only for their first idpaa of
conducting the business, but for stock to commence
with, and a place to commence iu. Their state
ment, that this is -The fifth year of their location
in New York," is also faisc.
It has been thought, on account ff ths name
counectcd with this .New. York Gift Store, that it
was a branch of my Original Enterprise; bat it i.i
not so, aim i wiau ii distinctly understood, that I
am not ia any way responsible fcr their deceptive
advertisements, nor for the manner in which Xew
York Gift concerns aro conducted. Aud holdin"
the position I do, as the Originator of the Gift
Book Enterprise in the United States havini: ei
tablishcd it and brought it to its present hih position,-
by constant labor, unwearied application
and large expenditure of money. I deem it bit du
ty to the public and myself to expose these pre
tended originateTs,?' who are attempting to im
pose upon the people. I would hero publicly tat-
that these parties have been rcferrl, without
authority or renn wim. to the largest atod m.ort
widely kiton publishing bou?e in the Waited
States. l am in ormed by this firm, which is lo
cated in this city, that, not only havb ttey toever
given permission to this New York Gift Store to
refer to thera, but they utterly dlseUira anyknow
edge of their business or standie. The fore
