TAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect
- fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Eectro-C Chemical Bath
which has proven to be one of the most important and
wonderful discoveries of the age from its ability TO extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body

eecrogilder having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
his art conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes he succeeded doing and quickly recovered
He then applied the others similarly af
fected, with like results His exceeded his most
sangune expectations for not only did these Baths
mineral pOsons but cured many diseases of which
were the result of minerals, and some not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
guar power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi
neas that may be lodged therein to the great detrent

which beyond the comprehension of the most sku

freshing atmosphere, and breezy, tree-shel-
tered avenues.
Retraced our way, yesterday, from In

the heat, choked with dust, which springs
from the track in clouds, so unlike the
clean nnsylvania Central in this re.
spect-and tired of the mOnotonous route;
except the ten miles of narrowing and
expanding prairie, with its island groves,
broad fields aud leafy promontories-a
perfect elysium of rural beauty. From

inviting country, broug hit US to the end
of the 800 miles, and descending by
moonlight through wide gorge in the
high, sandy bluff, to the waters edge
with Cleveland on the east, and Ohio
City on the west side-landed US about
8 o'clock in the ample depot, which, with
the steamboat wharves, is built on piles,
on the edge of the lake. An omnibus
wound slowly up the hill, and set US
down at quarters in the public square;
which, BY the way, is divided into four

The first thing after breakfast this
morning was to seek the lake shore, and

of blue mountain ridge across the end

inst. saws that the Clerks in the Treasury De.

monthly pay for services in September, that
they were assessed in the sum Of about ten per
cent. on their salaries, TO be used for election

All who refused to pay we're required to state
the fact under their own signatures. This the
correspondent svers he had from q reliable

Last fall an assessment was made upon
the clerks in the departments at Washing
ton, and the money thus raised was expend'
ed in attempting to beat the Americans OF
Baltimore in the Mayors election. The
Washington Union justified and defended
this infamous and corrupt use of the titheS
of the poor clerks. There was time when
the people, without regard to party,
would have Indignantly rebuked such things,
but vice has become SO common they now

Dropping Ike the brown nuts down the woody dell;

Warning me to bow my soul gratefully in prayer,
Telling me to rise and read lessons written there.
