THE SUBSCRIBER will open in few
L days, in the phoenix Block" large stock of
New Goods, bought in Philadelphia and New York,
under the most favorable circumstances and at time
when nearly all kinds Of goods lower than they
have been for years. Owing to the hard times" the
goods will be offered at such extremely low prices as
will astonish the people than they were ten years
ago when the subscriber opened his first stock of goods
in this town-thc result of which was that n great
change in prices produced in short time through
out the countryit appears that business is work
ing back upon the old system of large profits and long
credit The time has come when another revolution
must take place In merchandising in this county,
Therefore those who have large stocks Of old goods
hand had better commence working them down twenty
the side track for the People will be furnished with
as good tea forty cents any merchant has sold the
last year for fifty ccnts and ohcr goods in proportion

GRoANING CRYNa.-The introduction of chloroform
and ether, with view to prevent the pain Of surgical
operations blunt the effects Of Diseases
hailed every where great blessing to mankind This
view, however is questioned by French surgeon who
not long since published dissertation in which he takes
the ground that the groanng and crying during
painful surgical operation the better it is for the
system. From the benefit which hysterical and other
patients derive from groanng and crying he sup
poses that by these processes of nature the superabun
dant power is and the system
thereby rendered calm and the circulation Of the
blood greatly diminished. He relates of man
who by means Of crying and bawng reduced his pulse
from hundred and cnty 10 y in the Of two
hours That patients often have great satisfaction
in groanng and that hysterca patients often experience
great relief from crying facts which person will
deny. As to restless hypochondracal subjects or those
who happy but when they under some
Of medical deetc treatment the French surgeon
that they cannot do better than TO godn au night and cry
all day BY following this rule and observing an abse-
mious Diet person will efectuay escape disease and
may prolong life to an incredible extent.
