Admitted. We neglected to notice the
iaot that Jame3 M. Galloway was admitted
to the bar at the recent term of our Court.
Mr. Galloway is possessed of a good educa
tion, of strict business habits, and is not
wanting in legal acquirements to make him
a ijood counsellor. We wish him success in
bis new calling.
The Weather. We had quite a chanire
in the weather, 'n this reeion. within the
last ten davs. Becrinin? ot last week it was
cold, with a considerable quantity of snow
iind ice on the ground ; but on Fridav eve
ning the air became quite warm, and during
the night most of the snow melted. At
present the ground is bare and the roads
getting quite muddy, much to the discom
fiture of our lumbermen, as it retards their
operations very much.
That ' OuTRAnEl" Two weeks since we
trablished a statement, in reference to the
putting out of a house, in Curweusvilie, of
a 31r. fctarr. H e cave tne story, as relate i
to us as a mere news item, and thought the
matter would end here, as legal proceedings
v.ere instituted. Last week, however, we
x.i re called upnn to publish a letter giving
ancther account of the affair, which it ap
pears is not satisfactory to some of the citi
zens of Cvrwensville, nnd hence we pTve
room to still another version of the affair
thi.i week-iijt holding ourselves responsi
ble for the contents of either communication.
A? we hava now giver, both sides an oppor
tunity of making their statements, we hope
they. will drop the matter here, especially,
if a legal investigation is to be had. State
ments pro and enn are only calculated to
prejudice the public. Better wait until the
facts are 1 gaily developed.

such bounty was paid.
2. Men enlisted without local bounty will
be credited to the place (sub-district) in
which they are reported by the mustering
officer to have been enlisted evidence to be
taken from muster in (muster and descrip
tive) rolls.
3. As to men mustered in by Provost
Marshals, the latter must decide for them
selves upon the proof necessary to establish
the aforesaid facts. As to other men not
$f mentioned by a Provost Marshal, the evi
dence of these facts will be established at
these headquarters, and any case of this na
ture, if brought before a Provost Marshal,
should be reported by him to these head
quarters, with ail the details necessary, for
further action.
4. Provost Marshals will do everything

A Sensation.
Adah Isaacs Menken, the erratic wife of
the '"Benieia JJoy, " isnow playing "'Mazep
pa" in San Francisco, and. from all we can
learn, no one who has ever appeared theie
Lis created such a sc n-atiun. One of the
papers, speaking ot her, .State's that she is
considerable more undressed than any actress
who has ever appeared n the American
stage, and describes her costume in 'Mazep
pa'' as consisting of "a fl sh fitting suit,
with the little end cf a dimity nothing fast
ened to the waist." "She mounts her
steed." says the same paper, "in the fash
ion adopted by Lady Hester Stanhope and
the ladieS who crossed the Isthmus in '49.
and enters into a champaign against Poland,
still with 'nothing to wear,' not even the ad
ditions of the Georgian costume "a shirt
collar and a pair of spurs. " Another paper
says : A number of ladies were present.
determined to know if the performance was
a proper one lor them to behold. One
Frem-h lady who was not there being
asked if she should attend responded : ' Vat
you go see the voomau vat years for costume
van feathair?' " Adah has had a chequer
ed career, but she appears to have struck
the right vein this Lime, as no one ever drew
such hous-cs in California before. The peo
ple there seem to believe that ''beauty un
adorned is adorned the more," and are con
sequently lavish in their patronage. A few
years ago she played in the eastern cities,
and had not enough to buy a calico dress.
Xow she counts her wealth by thousands.
Such is life.

iWhile walking through the streets of
Curwensville. my attention was drawn
to a vast crowd of people passing and repassing,
each and all with an immense load of merchan
dise ; and there meeting an acquaintance, I made
the inquiry '-What does this mean." The answer
was '-Have you not been at the cheap Store of J.
D; Thompson," who has just come from the East
with the largest stock of goods offered to the
community at lower figures than any other bouse
in the country, '-My advice to you is to call and
see for yourself" and then exclaim "The half was
not told me."

From Rev. J. iVeteto Brown, 1) . D Eli tor of
the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge
Although not disposed to favor or recommend
Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of
their ingredients and effects; I yet know of no
sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to
the benefits he believes himself to have received
from any simple preparation in the hope that he
may thus contribute to the benefit of others.
I do this the more readily in regard to Hoof
land's German Bitters; prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced a
gainxt them for many years, under the impres
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture.
I am indebtd to my friend Robert Shoemaker,
Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tesis, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debility.
The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the
beginning of the present year, was followed by
evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bod
ily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six
months before, and had almost despaired of re
gaining. I therefore thank liod and my friend
for directing me to the use of them.
Philad'a., June, 23, 1361. J. Newrov Brows.
PARTICULAR NOTICE.
There are many preparations sold under the
nam ot Bitters put up in quart bottles, compoun
ded of the cheapest whiskey orcommon rum, cos
ting from 20 to 40 cents per gallon, the taste dis
guised by Anise or Coriander Seed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will contin
ue to cause, as long as they can be sold, hundreds
to die the death of the drunkard. By their use
the system is kept continually under the influ
ence of Alcoholic Stimulants of the worst kind. the
desire for Liquor is created and kept up, and the
result is all the horrors attendant upon a drunk
ard's lite and death.
ror those who desire and mill hive a Liquor
Bitters, we publish the following receipt. Get
One Jiott'f Hoofffiiui I verm n. Hitters and mix
with Three Quarts of Good Brandy or Whislev.
and tho result will be a preparation that will far
ex.cd in medicinal virtues and true oxcellence
any of the numerous Liquor Bitters in the mark
et, and will cost much les.. You will have all
the virtues of Hoofland's Bitters in connection
with a good article of Liquor. at a muph less price
thin these inferior preparations will cost you.
ATTENTION, SOLDIERS I
AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.
We call tho attention of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that Hooft.Asn's
lierman Bitters" will cure nine tenths of the dis
eases induced by exposures and privations inci
dent to camp life. In the lists, published almost
daily in the newspapers, on the arrival of the
sick, it will be noticed that a very large propor
tion are suffering from debility. Every case of
that kind can be readily cured by Hooflind 's tier
man L'itters. Diseases resulting from disorders
of the digestive organs are speedily removed'. We
have no hesitation in staring that, if tSese Bitters
were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of
lives might be saved that otherwise will be lost-
We call particular attention to the following re
markable and well authenticated cure of one the
nation's heroes, whose life, to uso his own lan
guage, - has been sqvod by th Bitters : '

There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for

removed from the White House, and w-nt to this
city on board the Steamer "-State of Maine,' 'from
which I landed on the 2Sth of June. Since thn

be and still retain a spark of vitaliry. For a

immediately thrown up again.

stomach. . Life coold not last under these circum

Archer, frankly told me they could do no more
for me. and advised me to see a clergyman, and
to make such disposition of my limited funds as
best suited me. An acquaintance who-visited me
at the hospital. Mr. Frederick Steinborn. of Sixth
below Arch Street, advised me, as a forlorn hope,
to try your Litters, and kindly procured a bottle.
From the time I commenced taking them the
gloomy shadow of death receded, and I am uow
