Editorial Correspondence Of Lewisburg Chronicle.
HARRISBURG, March %.
l had long talk one evening with Col
PAXTON about the Lewisburg, Center &
Spruce Creek Railroad He feels deep
interest in its success, and assured me
that nothing short of Providcntial calami-
ties would prevent his attendance at the
Hartleton meeting, on the 2lst Of April.
He has made special arrangements to
secure the attendance also of several prom
inent Railroad men and capitalists from
New York and elsewhere-among them
Mr.. Bayard, Of New York city, who owns
and can control millions on change, and
whose favorable opinion, if secured in
behalf of this road, will be of great weight.
For this reason, Col. Paxton hopes for a
fair day, and is very anxious that the turn
out from the whole line of the road in
both Center and Union counties, should DO
large and imposing, aud that the aggregate
local subscriptions Of stock should reach
the highest possible figure, by that time,
that the energy and enthusiasm Of those
beautiful and wealthy vallies can manage
to develope. l think it highly probable
that the Hartlcton meeting will prove to
be the turning point in the fate of the
Spruce Creek road, and am sure Col.P.'s
statements need no added prompting from
any one to arouse the people of Butfaloe
and Brush and Penns vailies to the very
utmost, in matter of such vital import
ance to their own lasting convenience and
prosperity.
Can't tell you much about legislation
in general, for l haven't time to keep track
Of it, The fact is, the 'cutest "Philadel-
phia lawyer" might watch the proceedings
Of the House half dozen times day
without getting any very definite idea Of
what is going on. l find the easiest way
Of keeping tally is to read the proceedings
of each day in the Philadelphia papers
which arrive the next afternoon. A bill
has passed to incorporate the Lewistown
& Selinsgrovs Railroad Company. To
divide the Borough Of Lcwisburg into two
wards for election purposes. Bills have
also passed Senate to divorce Henry s.
Boyer, of Selinsgrovc, from his wife; and
to prevent parties to suits from lifting the
fees of their witnesses in a lump-thc
disbursing officer Of the Court paying each
witness in detail hereafter.-Some kind of
a Temperance bill will pass, hut not in
shape to hurt anybody in particular. The
Bill for the Sale Of the Public Improve
ments, is bone of contention in the
House. 1t ultimate fate, this session, can
not certainly be predicted now. If the
State keep them, public plunderers will
continue to enrich themselves at the
expense of the taxpayers and if they are
sold, the fortunate purchasers will become
millionaires at once, and the possessors of
enormous political power into the bargain.
Both horns Of the dilemma look ugly.
The weather has been very stormy here
of late; high winds-perfect gales, some
times-and the cold intense. Better to
have it now, however, than late in the sea-
son. The crops and fruit will be gamers
by it. uC.u.

FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OLA
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatiye pill which could be relied as
and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
boen prepared TO meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial of its virtues has coneusivey shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, Of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate fol-
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
nse in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them,
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of Ap-
petite, Iistlessness, Irrtability Bilious Headache
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Lons for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
aperent they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness. Piles, Collie, Dysentery, HumOrs, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
eessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitation Of the Heart Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action and restores the appe-
tite and vigor. They purify the blood and by Their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess The thousand cases in which
physc is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a
oathartic medicine
