A DIsAPPOINTMENT.-A unusually
large number Of persons were drawn to
this town on Monday last, by TIC advcr-
Iisement of d man named Pussy, who an
nounced, with quite flourish OF trumpets,
that he would make a Balloon Ascension
from the Jail Yard at O'Clock. As the
appointed hour approached, the streets III
the vicinity OF the jail, and the surround
ING hills, were literally lined with spccta-
tors, who anxiously awaited the depar-
lure of the Acronaut until half past six o.
clock when they were cOolly told the bal
loon was not more than half full of gass,
and that consequently the ascension would
have to be postponed until the next day
at 10 o'clock. On the following morning
the Professor was among the missing. 1t
was viewed by many persons as shame
ful imposture, but we understand that
Mr.. Pussy did not receive money enough
t. pay for his gas land that he did not feel
himself justified in risking his life without
the slightest compensation.
A great deal Of drunkenness and rowdy-
ism was exhibited by portion of the
crowd who were assembled upon the oc-
casion, and several fights took place, i'll
one of which the ear of an lrishman, who
is employed upon The Hagerstown and
Sharpsburg Turnpike, was bitten of, and
he presented a revolving spectacle.-Hd-
gerSt0lCn Herald.

IL The Germans have produced some very
excellent remedies for various diseases Among
which may be specified CDR. Hooaand's, Celc-
bra,cd Bnters, for sale by c. NJ. Jackson-and
used with remarkable success in Liver Com
plant, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility
and a general arrangement of the stomach
The Sunday Dispatch says Of this medicine
owe feel convinced that in the use of the
German Bitters the patient does not become
deblitatcd, but constantly gains strength and
yigor to the frame-a fact worthy of considcra-
ton. Tie Bitters are pleasant in taste and in
smell, and can be administered under any CIR
cumstances, TO the most delicate stomach In
deed they can be used by all persons with tho
most perfect safety. 1t would be well for those
who are much affected in the nervous system, TO
commence with one teaSpoonful or less, aud
gradually increase. We speak from experience
and are, of course, proper judge. The press
far and wide, have united in recommending the
German Bitters, and to the afflicted we most
cordially advise their use" - See advertise

FAMINE IN GEoKGIA.-Accounts from
The northern part of Georgia represent that
many people in that section are without
corn or the means to procure any.
There is none for sale, and there Is Sc
rious danger of famine. Horses and mules
are turned out into the wIlds TO wait Tor
grass or starve, so no blowing can be
done, and planting must be done with the
hoe. Unless relief be extended The poor
er class Of that section must perish.
