BT SAMUEL J. ROW.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JUNE 5, 1861.
A Patriotic Loan. The immediate wanta
of the National treasury, having been supplied
by the recent Joan, the government can look
about at leisure to see what is to be done next.
The fact, that a Stock which will be worth
10 per cent premium in a few months, having
bserj taken at a discount of 15 per cent, is a
ttrong argument against any more dealings of
that sort ; and, it Is now suggested, that an ap
peal be made direct to the Popular Masses,
for a loan of one hundred millions of dollars.
It is thought that this sum could be raised in
duo time, and on far better terms, than the
last loan, if proper means are employed and
proper inducements held out. The recent ex
perience of France in the agony of the Crime
an War is most instructive and encouraging,
when it'is remembered that $150,000,000 were
eagerly and readily loaned to that government
in a crisis of general depression, by the work
ing classes nearly all by poor men. So great
a loan would probably not be taken at once,
bet it will not only be taken but paid up quite
as fast as the money may be wanted. Every
certificate will be worth its face from the start,
and increase in value as the interest .accumu
lates, and will serve as a currency in States
where the Banks are worthless, and be a wel
come remittance to any section of the country
in payment of debts. We anticipate a favor
able reception of this proposition for a "Patri
otic Loan," by the people; who are ready and
willing at all times, to further the interests of
the general government in its efforts to main
tain the Constitution, and in defending itself
against treason. Let Congress, which is a
bout to assemble, give this subject due consid
eration, and provide proper safe guards against
fraud, and such a loan as is suggested, will be
responded to cheerfully and promptly, by the
loyal and patriotic citizens of the United
States. .
. Extra Session of Congress. The extra
session of Congress, which is to assemble on
the 4th of July, will likely bo a brief session.
It is said, that the Chairmen of the Commit
tees in the Senate, and a number of the promi
nent members of the House, contemplate to be
at Washington about the 20th of the prcscut
month, forthe purpose ol consulting upon the
business of the session. It is belioved, that
after the session has begun, all the business
will be transacted in two or three weeks, as
only three bills will be required, to wit: An
Army bill, a Navy bill, and a Loan bill. It is
proposed to transact all the business that the
spirit of our institutions will allow, in secret
session, and instead of the one hour rule adopt
a five minute rule for making speeches. Cer
tainly, under present circumstances, when ac
tion and not talk is what is needed, the propo
sitions are worthy of consideration ; and, if a
dopted, it is not likely that the members will
be detained long. The President has com
menced writing his message, but he is so
much interrupted by business and visitors,
that be says bo "will be fortunate if he gets
time to finish the message before the 4th of
July," and that "the proposition to raise $100,
000,000 for the war, by voluntary subscriptions
by the people, shall receive his careful atten
tion," a measure, that is likely to meet with
much favor with all classes.
Taney . and Cadwallader. The District
Attorney of Maryland, was at Washington,
consulting with the President concerning the
Merrimaa habeas corpus. - It is understood
that the writ will be suspended, and possibly
the functions of his Honor Judge Taney. An
other report says, that Chief J ustice Taney,
warned by the shadow of coming events that
his course in regard to the arrest of Merryman
in Baltimore is unpopular, has thought it most
prudent to tender his resignation.
- General Walbridge, of New York, is in
Washington, urging upon the Government to
accept all the men who desire to enlist for tho
waruntil at least four or five hundred thous
and men are enrolled. This demonstration, it
is thought, will make the war a bloodless one,
and establish tho military character of the na
tion abroad, as well as overcome treason at
borne. It is a Cbrtstain and humane idea to
crush the rebellion with the least possible a
mount of bloodshed.
Exolasp A5p Mexico. The British Govern
ment instructed Sir Charles Wyke to rigidly
enforce in Mexico the customs convention, by
.which a certain portion of the duties are hy
. potbecated for the payment of debts due by tho
Government to English subjects. Significant
axticleain some of the leading London journals
indicate that the question of an active foreign
intervention in the affairs of that Republic is
entertained in high quarters both' in London'
and Paris. ,; ' ' "-:
' Virqiniah Fbacd. Among the effects seis
ed at Alexandria are letters of great import
ance which were found in tbe Sentinel office,
showing the means by which the secession of
Virginia was brought about, , , Some distin
guished politicians are implicated, and the
,lttrs show beyond doubt that tbe ordinance
, of cession was only passed by frand. "
fcThe Missouri Legislature has voted an ap
propriation of $ 800,000 for war purposes. "; ':,
LETTER FROM SMITH'S HILLS.
Smith's Mills, June 1st 1861.
Mr. Editor : This moment the "Journal"
is thrown on the table before me, and laying
aside my pen, I hastily glance at its contents ;
a portion of which, consist of a letter from
Camp Johnson, complaining of the citizens of
Smith's Mills and vicinity, tor not fulfilling
their promises. I hope you will give publici
ty to a word of explanation, which can be re
lied upon.
Immediately after the company left this
place, funds for the relief of their families
were subscribed, and a meeting called, officers
elected, acting committee appointed, and all
done that necessity seemed to require. The
committee was instructed to ascertain tho
wants and report at a call of President. A
meeting was called, committee reported and
association ordered one fourth the subscribed
funds to be collected and paid into treasurer ;
all which was promptly responded to. Fami
lies that reported themselves were immediate
ly attended to, and those who complain do so
only because their condition is not known.
It is evident that the "promises" are yet good,
but how long the citizens will continue to
CDntribute and receive untruthful reprimands,
is uncertain. In regard to being "told to pay
the money for what they wanted," I havo
learned, from those who know, that it is incor
rect. Indeed, flour, meat, molasses, etc., are
ready for distribution, or were before the pub
lication of "the letter." More is asked for,
and more given, than when they were at home.
As to "ill treatment," it is sheer fabrication
not having the semblance of truth. If the
"boys" havo the most distant idea of "ill
treatment" to their wives and little ones, we
would suggest they return at the expiration of
their enlistment give up the thought of lon
ger "soldiering," and care for their families
themselves. In conclusion, I will siy, that
the citizens of "Smith's Mills and vicinity,"
are prepared to redeem any promises made to
the soldiers, or any one else. A large, well
known thievish dog, prowls about this vicini
ty, pilfering wherever he gets a chance.
Wouli'nt it bo ludicrous to see that charge 1
Yours, Guelich.
Editor Journal: The following extract,
is from a letter of a young lady of this coun
ty, who has been teaching in central Kentucky
for a year past : "I am now with those whose
sentiments are to sustain the government at all
hazards ; but whose interests are so closely
connected with Kentucky, that they will, in
all probability, go with her, whatever course
she may pursue. There are reports of a ser
vile insurrection in Owen county, but nothing
authentic is known here .yet. The Home
Guard in Lincoln co. last week, searched the
cabins on one plantation and found $200 in
gold, with forty revolvers, and ammunition
&c, said to have been deposited thero by a
free negro, who succeeded in making his es
cape. A brother of the owuer of the negroes
related this, so there must be something of
the kind going on in the country. Great fear
prevails in many places."
Sharks and Woives. Large numbers of
the troops who have gone to the seat of war
are poor men, leaving families behind them.
The pay ot the privates is $11 per month.
We believe the custom is, at the end of every
month, to give some written evidence of the
amount due each man. But the troops will
not in fact be paid under two or three months
trom the day of being mustered into the ser
vice, and so on from time to time.
We are informed says the N. T. Tribune,
that a shoal of land sharks, some of them well
known to public fame, have entered into a
combination to purchase of tbe troops thuir
monthly warrants or certificates at an enor
mous shave say, giving them $6 and $7 for
$11. These evidences of debt are as good as
gold. They will be paid with reasonable
promptness. The necessities of many of these
men are great. They may be compelled to
allow themselves to be devoured by these
sharks, uuless patriotic individuals, who scorn
to levy blackmail upon patriotism, will take
measures for purchasing these evidences at a
fair value, and thus save the soldiers of tbe
country from falling victims to the cupidity
of a class of peculators who prowl about the
camps, the Commissariat's, and the Quarter
master's depots, as wolves prowl over a battle
field after a day of carnago. Will not the
Union men look to this matter ?
Order for Scalping Knives. The South
ern Rebels have sent large orders to Sheffield
and Birmingham, England, for a peculiar pat
tern of scalping knife. It seems that the
chivalry have forsaken their new construction
of the use of the knife, which was regarded as
barbarous a lew months ago, but which they
now adopt as the only weapon of service to
their cause. The history of the dagger, the
scalping and the bowio knife, U the samo.
All were and are used only by assassins and free
booters. The old Spanish and Italian bandit
ti always carried the dagger for secret, treach
erous and effective work. Among all nations
these weapons have always been regarded as
the implements of cowards and assassins and
every robber or pirate that ever disgraced the
world or outraged-humanity, won their repu
tation with the knife. In this manner the reb
els of the South intend to carry on thoir war
fare. In secret or in the dark they will stab
the loyal troops of the government or in
truce or on parole they will not hesitate at as
sassination as tho accomplishment of their
work of revenge. Provided always, the afore
said rebels can succeeded in being supplied
with the tools from Sheffield and Birmingham,
of which there are at present some serious
doubts.
Foreign News. The steamship American,
which left Liverpool on the 18th and Queens
town on tho 19th inst., reached Halifax on the
30th. She has three days later news. An im
portant debate took place in the House of
Lords on the 16th, concerning American af
fairs and the questions of blockade and priva
teering. The opinion was expressed by the
Earl of Derby that the United States could not
by the law of nations treat privateers as pi
rates ; Lord Campbell agreed with him ; Lord
Brougham said that privateering was not pira
cy, but that to join an expedition against a
powerat peace with England was a piratical
act. On the I6th Mr. Dallas prcsentod Mr.
Adams, and delivered his letters of recall.
Mr, Dallas came by the America as passenger.
. Five Tons of GoLD.---What a sight Broad
way N. Y. presented on Monday a-wcek !
Five horse loads of gold coming up tbe street
from the wharf at jvhich the steamship Etna
was secured. 329,446, or over $1,627,000,
weight, in specie, 10,250 pounds, or five tons.
This is one of the best items of news our peo
ple could be furnished with in war time, and
is, withal, a suggestive thing in its way. We
hope to see a great many five tons of the pre
cious metal arrive. There's room for it.
An lNCiDENT.-Henry Winter Davis, while
he was delivering his great Union npeecb, im
mediately aitei bis nomination for Congress,
on tho 25th inst., in the city of Baltimore, was
interrupted by a little girl, who, held jit her
band a boquet of flowers, decorated by a mini
ature flag. She approached him and said,
"Sir, accept this j I wish you and the Union
to blossom forever, as this boquet is here."
The incident elicited the wildest shouts and
excitement.
Army Peculators. In these venal times,
when men are not ashamed to liva by levying
black-mail upon legislation, says tho N. Y.
Tribune, we can conceive how it is possible for
peculators to get between the Treasury and
tho Army, and while seeming to be impelled
by patriotic impulses, can bend all their ener
gies to making money out of the existing war,
by standing as middlemen between a hard
pressed Government and its self-sacrificing
defenders. As for example: by buying steam
ers for six or eight thousand dollars each, and
chartering them to the Government for ten or
twelve thousand per month, with a condition
that they be paid lor at the rate of $50,000 in
case of loss; and by purchasing tents at $0
each, and selling them to the Government for
$17; and by laying in wait at cattle-pens
watching opportunities to get lean beeves at a
low figure, which they have contracted to the
commissariat at round, fat prices, managing
to give the hide and tallow to some favorite
"striker" for butchering them, when he can
get it done for half the value of those items ;
We say, we can conceive of jobbery like this.
But, bow anybody but fiends can, for lucre,
willfully palm off upon the Government, slee
zy and rotten blankets, and putrid pork, to
cover by night, and feed by day, our brave
sons and brothers, who are enduring undout
ed fatigue, and braving death, in defence of
our country, passes comprehension. Andyet,
that such things are done by men who furnish
equipments and supplies for some of the regi
ments now in active service, is beyond all
doubt. Something must be done to stop these
outrages upon our brave troops. Vultures
that prey upon the hearts of the dead on the
battle field, are human compared with mon
sters who furnish rotten blankets and rotten
meat to the living in the camp. They must
bo summarily dealt with, and at the very be
ginning of the war before their crime becomes
chronic.
The Drrrv of tue Government. After a
long and disastrous struggle it is altogether
probable that the restoration of rightful au
thority will be easier than now, but it is the
duty of the government to avoid a long strug
gle, if possible. It is our duty to the inno
cent, who so largely outnumber the guilty,
even in seceding states, and our duty to our
selves, on whom great burdens are to fall un
til the case is settled and order is restored.
Whenever it is possible to give power and
control to the bands of Union men and friends
of order, it should be the first duty of the
government to intervene, just so much as may
bH necessary, to repose this restoration of
power in the proper hands. Armed occupa
tion of a state or city, after the restoration is
effected and rendered secure, is to be avoided
by all means. The theory of the government
is that, if free to act, the people will every
where be loyal to their own nation ; and while
taking care to prevent them fr&m doing mis
chief, through the possession of war materials
not necessary for their own defence, care
should also be taken to give them all the lib
erty that is consistent with loyalty and peace.
A correspondent of the Siecle Paris, the
government organ of France writes from Tu
nis, Algiers, as follows: "Our College of phi
losophers at borne, may, and probably do ac
complish a great deal fur the cause of science,
but the Amerioans are the people to turn these
discoveries to practical account. Many of the
modern inventions in use here are American,
and one American chemist, Dr. J. C Ayer of
Lowell, supplies much of the medicine consum
ed in this country, nis Cherry Pectoral,
Pills, Sarsaparilla and Ague Cure constitute
the staple remedies here, beoause they are of
easy application, sure in their results, and
have the confidence of the people. While the
scierce of Medicine is carried to a higher per
fection in our own country (France) than any
other, it strikes a Frenchman as a little singu
lar that an American Physician should furnish
the medical skill and remedies for our Princi
pal Province.
J. C. Breckinridge. Tho news from Ken
tucky again encourages those who yot believe
in an extensive Union movement in the Bor
der States. . Kentuckians now in Washington
say tho State will remain loyal. It is not be
lieved that Senator Breckinridge will dare
show his head at the extra session of Congress.
There Is evidence in the hands of the Union
men of Kentucky which would hang him if
tho government were to think it best to make
an example of him. He ha3 been in corres
pondence with the rebel camp, having made
ofiers of help from Kentucky, no is most
clearl guilty of treason against the govern
ment, and under such circumstances will hard
ly have the eflroutery to take his seat in the
Senate to make laws for tho country be is
plotting against.
Mr. H. K. Brown, tho eminent sculptor, ar
rived in New York city a dy or two since
from Columbia, S. C, where he has been engag
ed for two or three years past, in some work
upon the Capitol in that city, but on which all
labor is now suspended for want of funds.
Mr. Brown was much amused to hear of the
rumor which has been spread by some of the
Northern newspapers, that he had become a
Secessionist, a rumor to which nobody who
knew him gave a moment's heed. He con
firms the statements made by so many other
persons as to the existence of a strong Union
feeling even in South Carolina, entirely sup
pressed, however, by the Secession delusion
which has taken possession of the politicians of
the State.
Attempt to Firk the Capitol Bcilding.
On Sunday the 26th, this watchman at the
Capitol at Ilarrisburg while going his cus
tomery rounds in the basement of the building,
discovered in a pile of dry wood a tightly
wrapped bundle of paper, partially consumed
and still burning. The combustible material
was no doubt placed there by some black-hearted
traitor in our midst, with a view of burning
the Capitol with all its valuable contents ; and
bis fiendish purpose would have been accom
plished, but for the timely discovery of Mr.
Luker, the watchman. In these perilous
times all the entrances to tho Capitol should
be closely guarded day and night, and no
strangers or suspicious person permitted to
enter the building.
Obeying Orders. Tho Bangor Whig says
that during a drill of Captain Burton's six foot
ers, at Oldtown, a few days ago, while march
ing upon a platform toward the river, where
the platform ended.no order to halt being
given, they kept on until ten had jumped in
to the river and commenced swimming. Uad
not the order been given, the whole company
would have followed them.
Crops in Arkansas. The Little Rock Ga
zette says that from all portions of tbe State
advices in relation to the coming crops are of
the most promising character. The wheat
crops is the greatest in breadth and the most
superior in quality ever yet made in the State,
and tbe fruit promises an abundant yield, while
the oats and corn thus far look exceedingly well.
The Gdn-Boats There will be three clas
ses, ranging from 500 to 1,000 tuns ; the
smallest class to carry 11-inch guns and two
32-pounders; the largest four 32-pounders,
and to be in plan a repetition cf tbe Iroquois.
The public service will probably require not
less than fifty.-At least a hundred builders
are at Washington oa the quivive.
SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.
May SO. -The proposal for the loan of near
ly $14,000,000, under the act of June last,
was opened to-day. Thero were ofiers for
Treasury notes, but as those for bonds were
restricted to par, and only six per centum al
lowed, it is not known that there were any
bidders. The thirty days notice required by
tho law before the power to issue treasury
notes could accrue, expired to-day, and the
department will therefore avail itself of that
means of meeting the wants of the treasury.
President Lincoln and Secretary Seward,
yesterday drove over on the Virginia side,
and visited the camp of tbe Jersey volunteers,
who were at work in the trenohes. They sa
luted the Commander-in-Chief of the Army
and Navy with their spades, and cheered him
immensely. The President will visit all the
camps and works in turn.
Captain Engle of the Navy, gives it as his
opinion, that the rebel buttery at Sewell's
Point is Impregnable. It is defended by not
less than 4,000 men. He thinks that Butler
will cut off their supplies and compel them to
surrender, instead of attacking them.
It has. been determined by the Government
to give every man, of whatsoever rank, serv
ing in the army or navy, a diploma on parch
ment or parchment paper signed by the Presi
dent and heads of departments.
One company of the New York 2d regiment
has joined the New York oth; the 2d, which
had enlisted for only three months, disbanded,
not being willing to take the oath to serve
three years or during the war.
The rebels have fallen back about two miles
from WilliamspiTt in the direction of Martins
burg. They have only about 500 men and 2
small swivels. About 100 deserted since they
established their camp. .
Eleven steamers were gathered at the
Washington Navy Yard to-day to receive the
outfits of ammunition and stores and guards
for some destination not disclosed.
Hugh Maban, of Chicago, is the lowest bid
der for the great beef contract for the United
States army. He ofiers to deliver it at Wash
ington for $4.48 per 100 pounds.
The Ohio and Virginia troops, under com
mand of Colonel Kelly, occupied Grafton at
at 2 o'clock to-day. The rebels fled on their
approach without firing a gun.
It is understood that the Garibaldi Guard
and the Oth New York regiment, will have a
very important advance movement assigned
to thorn, before many days.
Since the beginning of the present troubles.
one hundred and ninetv-two resignations of
navy and army officers have been accepted by
the National Government.
Miss Dix has gone to Fortress Monroe,
where she and her nurses may soon be needed.
May 31. Hancock and Cumberland, Md.,
are both to be occupied by Federal troops.
It would appear that the Government was de
termined to take entire possession of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad as far as Wheeling.
By occupying the above named places, only
the small territory between Martinsburg and
the Point ol Rocks (some 30 or 40 miles) will
remain in tho possession of the Confederate
troops.
Gen. Butler, on last Wednesday, visited
Newport-news Point encampment, where tho
greatest confusion has prevailed from the
want of experience on the part of Quarter
masters and Commissaries- the provisions not
bi:ing promptly distributed. Foraging par
ties went out who provided liberally for them
st Ives, and in some instances wantonly de
stroyed much private property. The line of
entrenchments, 2,500 feet long, is nearly com
pleted. The Union men from Pettis, Henry, Benton
and Morgan counties, Missouri, numbering
700, met at Warsaw last week, and were or
ganized Into seven companies. They threat
en death to every Secessionist in the Osage
valley. They sent an agent to Gen. narney
for arms. Great excitement prevails, and
were it not for the peace arrangement between
Gens. Harney and Price, the military would
drive them off at whatever cost.
Large quantities of goods of all kinds for
the South, are still shipped by rail through
Louisville to Nashville. The exodus of South
erners northward is unprecedent. It is also
rumored that if the Nashville voad be stopped,
the Tennesseeans will advance Into Kentucky
and take possession of the road. The Union
men of Kentucky are determined to permit
no aggressions from any quarter.
There exists but little security in Baltimore.
Parties charged with treason begin to feel
rather insecure. The Marshall is determined
to arrest all against whom evidence of com
plicity can be produced. It is said, some 40
or more have deserted from Harper's Ferry
and returned to Baltimore. Several of them
have been arrested, $nd others will be looked
after.
The new Military Department of Kentucky,
tinder the command of Col. Robert Anderson,
embraces so much of the State as lies within
one hundred miles of the Ohio river. This
appointment will bring under a vigilant eye
the mouths of the Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers, into which supplies for the Rebels
have been steadily flowing for a long time.
With the 3,000 Secessionist troops at Fair
fax there are 1,000 negroes, who are employ
ed as servants. A great scarcity of provisions
exists, and tho slaves arc tho first who are
compelled to go hungry. It is probable that
they will before long add themselves to the
rapidly increasing stock of contraband goods
now in keeping of the Federal troops.
The Mayor of Alexandria avenges, his digni
ty by maltreating negroes. If a negio is a
little slow in getting out of the Mayor's way
he knocks the chap' down, has him arrested
and whipped- It is said, that others have
been arrested and whipped for listening to the
music of the bands, in the evening.
George Worthington, Harrison Scott, and
Alfred Mathews, three more of the bridge
burners have been arrested at Cockeysville.
They were taken to York, Pa.
Col. Durvea visited Hampton and published
a proclamation to the few remaining inhabi
tants, declaring that private property of loyal
citizens should be respected,
The Memphis Bulletin announces the arrival
of Beauregard on the 20th, to take command
of the Western Division of tbe Confederate
army.
Accounts of outrages by Fairfax Secessionists
continue to come. They rob farmers of sheep
and cattle for camp supplies.
A schooner was captured on the Potomac,
with supplies for Virginia, on board.
Jcnk 1. The progress of the Federal troops
in Western Virginia, has been marked by no
hostile demonstration of a serious nature. A
number of violent secessionists were arrested
at various points. The people welcome the
Federal troops with great enthusiasm. The
volunteers were hard at work rebuilding tho
burnt bridges. Most ot the violent secession
ists left on the approach of the troops.
General Cass is resolved, even in his old
age, to die with the harness on his back, has
mounted his old uniform, and reviews the
troops now congregated in Detroit every
morning. He has contributed out of his pri
vate fortune $25,000 to the equipment of the
Michigan volunteers, and $10,000 to the sup
port of their families during their absence.
Programmes are suddenly changed according
to circumstances, the department being con
stantly advised by day and by night, of all im
portant incidents requiring attention. This
win account for the non-execution of the pret
arranged plans. All orders for movements of
troops are cautiously guarded from inquiries,
for reasons eminently proper.
The rebels are concentrating at Manasses
Junction, and occupying pn.mineat positions
this side. They evidently expect and im
mediate attack "irom the U. S. troops in that
vicinity, as they are fortifying every available
point.
Ex-Governor Pratt was arrested at Annapo
lis, by order of the Government, and taken to
the Washington Navy Yard. If is also ru
mored that Ex-Governor Lowe has been ar
rested. A sentinel at Cloud's Mills, on the outskirts
of Alexandria, was shot and killed and anoth
er wounded it is supposed by rebel scouts.
June 2. The rebels again attempted to
take possesion of the ferry boat, lying opposite
Williamsport, yesterday, tor the purpose,
doubtless, to cross to the Maryland side on a
marauding expedition. The Union company
at Williamsport, ordered them to desist, -which
they refused to do, whereupon the Union 'men
opened fire, which was as briskly returned,
and the fire was maintained on both sides for
about an hour. Three or four of the rebels
were wounded, and then abandoned the boat.
The troops at the Relay House are constant
ly provided with three days rations, and are
otherwise In condition for an immediate march.
Their probable destination in Harper's Ferry.
The men are so ardent for battle that the offi
cers find tho greatest .difficulty in restraining
them.
It is said, that Jeff. Davis has reached Rich
mond, where he received an enthusiastic wel
come. He proceeded to the adjoining parade
ground and reviewed the troops.
Many Post-Office bags and pouches used in
the Southern service have been stolen. Their
keys unlock Northern bags; hence the adver
tisement for a new lock.
General Butler is erecting a heavy battery
of cannon at Newport-news point.

LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THUTIT
AXi
REASON AND PllOFIT BY IT.
The time has come that all who will can e?cst
the iron grasp of Mercury, by calling, without dV
lav, to seo the well known and justly celebrate!
Eclectic European Physician, Dlt. BOUT, w ho
will administer thoso only true and safe medi
cines, extracted from the most choice Moots
Herbs, which are prepared under his own super
vision, and therefore avoiding the use of all Min
eral Poisoss, which were never designed far the
system, tp take which many thousand have fallen
victims and gone to early graves.
THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.
Remember that Dr. Eort wa&ts no patients bet
those fully capable of appreciating and distin
guishing the services of a regular thorough bred
physician, from a paltry, unlearned and trifling
quack.
lieniember, Dr. Uort s remedies and treatment
are entirely unknown to jvH others in this coun
try ; prepared from a life spent in the great hos
pitals of Europe and the first in the country.
ilcrncraber, that Dr. Port lias a more extenaea
practice than any other phj3ic:an in estern
Pennsylvania.
Kcmcmber, that citizens ot education ana er.r
popular men are all well acquainted with,ra
take ereat pleasure in recommending Dr. con v
tho afllicted.
Remember, that Dr. Bort makes no false rrrr'
sentations to gull the unfortunate, but aJl he i
will be faithfully carried out.
Remember, that Dr. jsort pays every attendee
to diseases ot a chronic nature.
Certificates of Cures may be seen at his rep5-
tive rooms.
Dr. B. is furnished with over six thousand
ters of recommendations from some ofthercoJt
distinguished men living. Also has awarded to
him diplomas from some of tbe most celebrates
Hospitals and Infirmaties in Europe, for hi en-
parallelled observations in Diagnosis, and obser
vations in discovering remedies for iho cure l
diseases that have heretofore befallen tho skid ci
many of the medical profession.
An early call from thoso wishing to cocsuii
Dop.tor. is pflrneotlv TpnnpstAd so us to receive
benefit of treatment, and thus do justice to him
self. Time limited.
Pleas bear in mind when Dr. B- will be in y0"
place. Persons desirous of consulting htm
confer a great favor by oalling on tho first day
his arrival, as his Kooms are so otten crowucu.
is utterly impossible to attend to the anxious so
licitations of all. Dr Bert will arrive at eacfi .
the above places on the first train or stage ou -
day appointed. . ,. .
