FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE,

EOh The SPlhlI OF The AGE.
Have you ever heard the Swiss Bell Ring
ers? If not, a most charming treat is in
store for you. Should they take your City
in their route, you will have an opportunity
of listening to some rare and singular harmo-
MES. Generally speaking, to produce music,
there is an obvious adaptation of the appear
ance of the instrument to the melody to be
produced. You expect to hear Bell Ringing,
It's true but the idea never occurs to you
that they are any thing like ordinary bells.
You fancy some delicate little instruments of
costly material and elaborate workmanship,
whose mode of operation is peculiar to them.
But on entering the concert room, you find
the table covered with some 50 or 60 bells,
of various sizes, but of wide exterior, sug-
gestive of a factory, where signals for the
auction or dinner hour, are moulded. You
wonder how it is possible that you can be en-
tertained, or get the value of she so cts just
paid at the door. But you have not long to
be in doubt. The hour of 7, at which time
performances commence, soon arrives, and
then you are charmed. How can it be that
such music can be produced from such ap-
parently inharmonious instruments! Yet it
is so, and the ~rapidity with which they are
handled, and the ~softness and sweetness of
tone elected, command your admiration
:" The Swiss National March," " Blue Bells
of Scotland" together with our own mimi
table "Hail Columbia" and yankee Doe
die" were among the most beautiful. B.

We nave frequently heard the celebrated Ger
man Bitters, sold by DR.. C. NJ. Jackson, 12O Arch
street, Philadelphia, spoken of in terms of the
highest commentator, and we honestly believe
that it is one of the best medicines advertised for
the complaints for which it is recommended. They
are pleasant to the taste, and can be tuken under
any circumstances by the most delicate stomach.
The press far and wide, have united in common
didg this valuable remedy for dyspepsia, debility,
&C.; and such are the healing effects of this pana-
cea, that we hope it may be introduced to every
family where dyspepsia has, or is likely to have q
victim.

s- For Bronchitis, Throat Diseases, Hackin
Cough, and the effects Of imprudent use of Herc1-
ry, no medicine has ever been discovered which has
effected such cures as Carter's Spanish Mixture.
Throat diseases produced by salvation, Hacking
Cough, Bronchial Affections, Liver DISEASE, Nea-
raigia and Rhumatism, have all been relieved and
cured in o wonderful manner, by the great purifier
of the blood, Carriers Spanish Mixture.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERs.-We are reuues-
ted to announce to the farmers of Virginia
and North Carolina that the Corn dealers in
this market have come to the determination
to buy and sell corn by weight on and after
the LIST of April next, and in a few days will
issue a circular setting forth all the facts
of the case. In consequence of this move.
ment it would be advisable for the corn
growers in the two states to procure for their
next crop the heaviest seed corn they can
find. From this change in the mode of buy
in and selling, it is hoped that many advan
tages will result-orders will be received for
corn for European markets to be shipped
from this port direct and thus save the plan
ter the freight that is now paid between Nor.
folk and New York. Give the change a fair
trial and we doubt not it will soon prove
beneficial to all interested.-NortoM Herald.
DAMAGES FOR CAUSING DRUNKENNESS. In
Noblesville, Ia, Mrs. Julia Freyberger

damages caused by liquor sold by the defen-
dant to the plaintiffs husband, John Frey

liquor had made her husband a drunkard.
had caused him to lose his time and waste
his money, and claimed one thousand dollars
damages. The jury gave her a verdict of
$500.

THE THIRrY-TH1RD CONGRESS-. Among the
most important measures OF the Thirty Third
Congress are the following:
Claims bill the Bounty Land bill ; the
Texas Creditors bill the reciprocity Treaty
bill 4; the Army Increase bill; the bill
increasing the salaries of the Justices of tho
United States Supreme Court; the bill
increasing the salaries of the United States
District Judges the bill increasing the
salaries of the Land Office Receivers and
Registers the S~hipwreek Preventive bill ;
and the General Appropriation bill. The
French Spoliation bin was vetoed so also
the Mail Steamer bill while the Tariff bill
that was passed in the House was lost in
the Senate. The tariff, therefore, remains
unchanged.
The bill to reorganize the Diplomatic and
Consular system abolishes outfits and infts,
fixes the salaries of the several Diplomatic
posts, and provides that these salaries shall
not m until the appointee arrives at
his post of duty. COnsuls receive salaries,
the fees collected by them go into the Treas
ury, and those at the more important points
are forbidden to engage in private business.
THE LETTER POSTAGE BILL.-It appears
that the bill which passed both Houses in
relation to letter postage, requires prepay
ment in all cases after the commencement
of the next fiscal year, (the first of July next,
and authorizes the Postmaster General to
require that prepayment be made in postage
stamps after the first day of January, 1886.
1t also provides that for letters going less
than 5000 miles the postage shall be three
cents and over that distance it shall be five
cents, except where postal treaties with other
countries shall prevent. Letters containing
money can be registered, so as to show that
they have been sent, but in no instance to
make the department responsible for them
THE New Bounty LAND BILL.-It is est
mated at the Land Office that at least 100,
000, 600 of acres will be required to covel
the demands to arise under the new law
from classes of individuals whose service ha.
heretofore been thus provided for by Con
gress, The man who shouldered his fowlinj
? piece, and watched the shore in the neigh
, borhood of Piscataway, and within a mil
T of his own door, will, under the new law, ge
as much land rs he who underwent the hol
rors Of all the Canada campaigns of the wa
{ Of 1921
4 1t is stated that there will be no warrant
issued under the new bounty land law to
three or four months. New plates to be Ell
d graved. Seventy-six thousand dollars hav
n been appropriated for the new clerks to b
employed under this act.
