A JUSTICE FINES HIMSELF. —At a recent trial before a Justice of the Peace in the southern part of Clarion county, the Justice was so annoyed by something that transpired that he so forgot his judicial dignity as to indulge in a good, round oath. After the trial and entering of judgment, the defeated party to the suit remembered that oath, made an information of the fact before another justice residing about ten miles distant, and had a war rant issued which was given to a consta ble to servo. When the war rant was read to the erring justice he brought forth his docket, showed that he had lined himself for his lapse into profanity, so entered judgment against himself, and collected the line. Tho constable hail nothing else to do but to let the matter drop, and the party who hoped to get even with the justice by making information, is now confronted with a bill of costs amounting to $7 THE NEW WARRIOR The Lightest Oraft Machine Made.

We would advise our trade that we to-day reduce all our flours twenty, for ty and sixty cents per barrel respective ly, and guarantee all flours to give sat isfaction and to contain full weight. Beware of dealers that only quote a few brands to mislead customers. In quire what they make their specialty and then ascertain the price. We want everybody to know that our Oriental is our best family flour, and that it is our specialty. We warrant it to give better satisfaction than flours sold else where for fancy and high grade flours, when in reality they are but common family flours. A customer is at no risk in purchasing flour from us, as we will make good any failure in our flour to be as represented. To say a flour is "extra family" or "best family" is no proof that the flour is good, as these expressions are applied to flour of infe rior quality by dealers in order tocatch those who are not posted. Always ask the name of the brand when you ask I the price and you will soon be informed whether you are getting the flour you should have for the money. Following are our prices: TABLE GOODS.

Crops attacked by it are lost; it devours grasses to the roots, strips wheat to the stalk, leaves no trace of growing corn, and causes the rye blades on a broad field to vanish in a few hours. Millions of the worms swarm across roads or gravelled paths, where the embattled farmers stand ready for them, and destroy them with stampings, thrashings and rollers; but millions more run the gauntlet and ravage beyond. Furrows are filled with fire, or with water, or with grass soaked in Paris green ; but the army in the rear marches over the dead bodies of its van to the fresh fields which the trenches do not pro tect. By night and by day these ravages go on, and the destruction al ready is great. This pest appears especially after hot, dry springs, as has been the case the present season. Tne worms then spring into existence suddenly, as if by magic, and advance to their work of destruction in count less multitudes. The moth is of a yel lowish-drab color, with a small white dot near the center of each of itc fore wings, and a dusky oblique stripe at their tips. On the under-side the wings are paler and more glossy than above. It is a night-flyer, and de posits its eggs at night on blades of grass, in April and early May. The eggs soon hatch and the worms begin their havoc. The larva, sometimes grows to a length of two inches, though it is generally smaller. It is of a dull gray color, with three yellow lines on each side, the lowest one being the broadest and brightest. When full-grown they enter the earth and assume the pupa state, in which condition they are supposed to pass the winter Dr. C. H. LEE, lloimeopallilc Physician.

Hofloway through life. Hence the origin of his celebmtdd rills anil oint ment--remedies in keeping with common sense, because subservient to nature, rather than at variance with her laws, like those in general use. To the stomach we trace dyspepsia, heapache and general debility ; to the liver, blie. Jaundice, and yellow fever ; to the bowels, diarrhcca, dysentary. constipation, piles and fistuly ; to the lungs, con sumption, etc. ; to the blood, scrofula, seurvey, and all cutaneous eruptions. By keeping these organs and vital fluid pure and healthy we may safelv defy the attacks of disease, and no medicine yet prepared for this purpose can equal the action of these I'ills and Ointment, as they dive to the seat of the disorder, and extirpating its cause, de stroy its effect. IMPORTANT CAUTION —None are genuine un less the signature of J. HAYDOCK, as agent for the United States, surrounds each box of Pills and Ointment. Boxes at 25 cents, B2 cents and St each.

It is the purest, safest, anil most effectual alterative medicine known or availuble to the public. The sci ences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so potent to cure all diseases resulting from impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas, Hose, or St. Anthony's Fire, IMmnlea and Face-grubs, I'ustulea, Blotches, I toils.

By Its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out tho foul corruptions which coutniuiiiate the blood and cause derange ment and decay. It stimulates and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores anil preserves health, nnd infuses new life and vigor throughout the whole system. No sufferer from any dis ease which arises from impurity of. the blood need despair who will give AYEK'S SAHSAI'AKILLA a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with tho numer ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. AYKK'S SAIISAI-AHILI.A IS a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far tho best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-puritler known.

SS-$ too positively forfeited if it Injure* the clothe*, or u>Ul not do everything claimed. First, pat the white clothe* in a tub of water, only made warm enough to be comfortable for the hands. Then take one piece out at a time on the wash-board, rub the Soap lijfbtly oyer it, roll it up and put it back into the same tub, and io on with each piece until all have the Hoap rubbed on them. Then go away and let them soak at least twenty minute*, without touching them, when the dirt will all be loosened, and a very little rubbing on the wash-board, out of that one suds, will make them perfectly clean, being particular to turn each piece while washing so as to get at the seams. Then wash lightly on the wash board, through a lukewarm rinse-water (without any Soap,) so as to get the dirty suds out. Then put through blue-water, and on the line, urithotU scalding or boiling a tingle piece. Afterward put flannels and colored pieces to soak, and wash them exactly the same way. It 1s important not to heat the wash-water iu a tin, bras, or copper kettle. A tea-kettle will heat enough water for a large wash with this Soap.
