-of sheet-iron, had taken fire during the eight

gained access to a stationary cupboard at the
sKlo of the chimney, burning out the shelves,

had accumulated on the piece f shect-trou

Elijah D. Bowen. The Lutheran Observer

.in relation to the above-named individual,who
'Med at the jail at Frederick a short time ago.
It says that his horse-stealing operations ex
tended over Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
York, Virginia, the Southern and Western
States, and probably into New England and
Canada. It is estimated by those who have
had frequent conversations with him during
his last imprisonment, that be has been steal
ing some six or eight horses and buggies eve
ry year for a long time. The Observer says it
is not aware that he gave evidence of sincere
?"aitence during his last hou is.
It is said that a companv have been boring

they tapped a vein of water and oil, yjolding
WO gallons of pure oil every 24 hours. The
P'-tap now ia uso throws only five gollons per
toinnte of water and oil Into a large vat, when

It is a common observation that there are more
sufferer from debility, among 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. In all oases, ordinary medicines
can do no good. What is required is just such a
tonic and invigorator as Dr. J. Hostetter has given
totheworld,in hia celebrated "Bitters." The weak
and nervous denizen of the counting-house, the ex
hausted toiler upon tho shop-board, and the pros
trated student of the midnight lamp, have found a
wonderful regenerator in the "Bitters," and prefer
it to more pretentious, but less efficacious medi
cines. But 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 the most terrible
forms of disease. Who would not give it a trial i

UOSTETTER'S ST03IACH BITTERS.
It is a fact that, at some period, every mem
ber of the human family is subject to disease or
disturbance of the bodily functions; but, with the
aid of a good tonic and the exercise of plain com
mon sense, they may be able so to regulate the sys
tem as to secure permanent health. In order to ac
complish thisdesircd object, the true course to pur
sue is certainly that which will produce, a natural
state of things at the least hazard of vital strength
and life. For this purpose, Dr. Hostettcr has in
troduced lo this country a preparation bearing his
n.-rrie. which i not a new medicine, but one that
has been tried for yeais. giving satisfaction to all
who have used it. The Bitters operate powerfully
upon the stomr.ch, bowel?, and liver, restoring them
to a healthy and vigorous action, and mut, by
the simple process of strengthening nature, ena
ble the system to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspcpnia, Indigestion, Nausea,
Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, or Bilious com plaints,
arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach or
Bowtls,producingCrar!ip3, Dysentary,Cholic, Chol
era Morbus, Ac, these Bitters have no equal.
Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally by
the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg
ulated by a brief uso of this preparation. Dyspep
sia, a disease which is probably more prevalent,
in all its various forms, than any other, and the
cause of which may always be attributed to de
rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured
without fail by using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, as per directions on the bottle. For
this disease every physician will reconrmend Bit
ters of somokind; then why not uso an article
known to be infallible ? All nations have their
Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen
er of the system in general ; and among them all
thcro is not to be found a more healthy people
than the Germans. from whom this preparation em
anated, based upon scientific experiments which
have tended to prove the value of this great pre
paration in the scale of medical science
Feveii and AffK. This trying and provoking
disease, which fixes-its relentless grasp on the bo
dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a
short time, and rendering him physically and men
tally useless, can be driven from the body by the
use of HOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTER'S.
Further, none of the above-stated diseases can be
contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit
ters arc used as per directions. And as they nei
ther create nausea nor offend the palate, and ren
der unnecessary any change of diefor interrup
tion of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep
and healty digestion, and the complaint is remo
ved as speedily as is consistent with tho produc
tion of a thorough and permanent cure.
For Persons in Advanced Years, who are suffer
ing from an enfeebled consitution and infirm body,
these Bitters are invaluable as a rostorativo of
strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be
appreciated. And to a mother while nursing these
Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo
ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demands
of the child, consequently her strength must yield,
and here H is where a good tonic, such as Hostct
ter's Stomach Bitters, ' is needed to impart tempo
rary strength and vigor to the system. Ladies
should by all means try this romedy for all ca
ses of debility, and, before o doing, should ask
their physician, who, if he is acquainted with the
virtue of the Stomach Bitters, will recommend
their use in all cases of weakness.
Caution. We caution the public against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for lloste.tter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters" blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe that our autograph signature is on the
label. CF'Prepared and sold byllosUtter Smith,

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My attention has been called to statements made
through the publie journals, by a New York Gift
Sto.c, which are calculated to deceive; who even
presume to advertise themselves as the originators
of tho Gift Book Enterprise, which was first suc
cessfully established, and I may say ' honarably
conducted by myself. This concern, who are pro
claiming themselves, "TheOldest in the business,"
are indebted to me, not only for their first ideas of
conducting the business, but for stock to commence
with, and a plaee to commence in. Their state
ment, that this is "The fifth year ef their location
in New York," is also faiso.
It has been thought, on account of the name
connected with this Now 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 tho 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 largo expenditure of money, I deem it my du
ty to the public and myuelf to expose these 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 houso in the U nitod
States. Im in'ormed by this firm, which is lo
cated in this city, that, not only have they never
given permission to this New York Gift Store to
refer to them, but they utterly disclaim any knowl
edge of thoir business or standini. Th rn.
going can be substantiated to the satisfaction of
any person or persons, ny tne most incontroverti
ble proofs. Jnly 11, 1859-6m. -
