Astonishing effects of one bottle, in
u Cnsc of DYspepsiR.

Tnllaoelpnla, Narcn ~, loou'
Dear Sir-During the last five years have been
afflicted with dyspepsia, in its most aggravated
form, and have used, without receiving any bene :
fit therefrom, every remedy recommended for that
disease. In fact, was afflicted badly that on
many occasions l was in great danger Of dying
from suffocation, in consequence of the rise OF
matter in my throat and all my efforts for relief
were in vain. l was at last induced, through the
recommendation of several of my friends, to try
Hoofand's German Btters, and assure you the
amount of relief have received, from the use OF
only bottle, is astonishing, and compels me to
say that / would not be without the bitters for
any money, as | am now, through their use en-.
ioying better health than have known for many
years. Very respectfully yours,
ELlZBAETH GAUL,
To DR.. G. NJ. Jackson. no. IL, Carter's alley.

DIR, Roback and his Remedies.

The success which has attended the practice Of
to confirm the theory that the source of all dis
eases is in the blood. His famous Scandinavian
Remedies operate directly upon the elements Of
that fluid, neutralizing all corrupt and morbid
matter in the circulation, and bringing back health
sustains and nourishes the whole system. Ger
tain it is that his blood purifier and blood pills
have worked wonder in nervous complaints, b:on
ehits, rheumatism, cough, catarrh, dyspepsia,
general debility hypochondriasis, epilepsy, erup-
tons, scrofula, and many other painful and dan =
gerous maladies. Hence their great popularity
w. informed that the correspondence of DR..
Roback amounts on average to $50 letters per
day, of which 100 requests for advice, and or
ders for his celebrated remedies. See advertise

Nervous Diseases COutrOIed and
C0nnmCrpH.

OF all the various ills that detract from the en-
joyment of human life, most of them may be
traced to a disordered condition of the nervous
system. The horrors of Epilepsy, or falling sick
ness. arise in most cases from this cause. Our
readers may remember, on several occasions be-
fore, we have alluded to the wonderful cures, or
notifications of Fits, made by the Vegetable Ex-
tract Epileptic Pills, invented and prepared by
Dr. Seth S. Hance, of los, Baltimore street. Bal
timore Md. We feel fully satisfied that these
Pills have cured some of the most stubborn cast
of Epilepsy, the milder forms of fits, such as
severe Cramps, Spasms, &c. We now record the
fact that persons will find these pills equally eff
fcacious in curing every form of nervous debili-
ty no manner whether manifested in the acute
and excrutiating form of Neuralgia, Tic Doloreux,
nervous Headache, the misery of Dyspepsia or
Indigestion, the sufferings Of Rheumatism or Gout
the melancholy hallucnation of depressed spirits
or hysteria, their effects will be equally happy and
certain. Persons in the country write to the
inventor, and hive the medicine forwarded to
them by mail The prices are, one box, 3 ; two
boxes, s. twelve boxes, 90 and sent to any
part of the country free of postage. Direct your
communications to Seth S. Hance, l06 Baltimore
street, Baltimore, Md.

GrThe Democratic members of the Indi-
ana Legislature met in convention few days
since and proceeded to the election of,wo Uni
ted States Senators which resulted in the choice
of Graham N. Fitch for the vacancy. and
Senator Bright for the long term. Not a
quorum Of either branch of the Legislature
were in attendance. Or the 9th inst, Mr..
Bright took his seat in the Senate and moved
that Mr. Fitch be sworn and allowed to take
his seat
Mr.. Trumbull Justly opposed every such
proceeding, and presented protest from the
Indiana State S"nate and 81 members of the
House against the legality of the election.
If Fitch is allowed to take his seat in the
United States Senate, we do not see why
other democratic outlaws may not do the
same thing. At last accounts NO decision
had been made, but Douglas and the demo-
Gratis generally, appeared favorble to his re-
oeptOn.

Thn EInnd

Old inhabitants say the ice never, passed
from the Maumee river more quietly thar
last week. The water swelled gradually, and
it went off in two distinct divisions.
The recent thaw and freshet seems to have
extended over vast scope of country.
AT Albany, the river is reporte to have
been 8 feet higher than it was ever before
known, and the amount Of property destroy
ed is estimated at So, 100000.
AT Philadelphia, the Schuylkill broke its
ice and swept off large lots of lumber, canal
boats, SC.
At Harrisburg. the Susquehanna over
flowed its banks, tore down several bridges,
piled the ice upon the railroad track SO as to
prevent the running of cars, and threatens
much damage.
At Easton, the Delaware river is reported
as having risen is feet, the town being flood
ed to the depth of FIVE feet in some parts. AT
places, the ice was piled up 90 feet high, and
much damage was anticipated.
AT Chicago, they report the greatest storm
and flood since 40. The Milwaukee railroad
bridge is considerably damaged, and the Ga
lena bridge, at Elgin, is entirely gone the
Aux PLANES bridge do. At Dupage river,
the railroad bridge was moved, and the en-.
gine, tender, and six cars were precipitated
into the river, killing the engineer, fireman,
and brakeman. All the bridges at Aurora,
including the railroad bridge, were carried
away. At La Sale, the Illinois river raised
90 feet.

Great Cure of rheumatism in Cincinnati
OhiO. Convincing Evidence.

For more than three years have been suffering
with rheumatism, and enlargement and pain OF
the bones and joints. have strictly followed the
advice OF physicians, and at other times used such
family medicines as had been recommended ioi
the cure of rheumatism still did not improve
in the least, and frequently compelled to keep
my bed and thereby was prevented from at end
ing to my business. Some weeks ago was in
duced by friend to try Carters Spanish Mix
ture. The effect was miraculous. l felt consid-
erably improved after l had taken the fourth
dose l have used only one single bottle, and am
entirely free from all pain. l feel better than
have felt for years. and attribute my completely
restored health solely to the use Of Carters Span
ish Mixture. ] consider it most excellent med
icne for rheumatism and all diseases of the blood
and cheerfully recommend it to the afflicted.

For the journal.
Mr. EDITOR In your last paper, you had
considerable to say about our taxes, and
claimed that the expenses of the county were
less than formerly. Now, sir, did you not
know, when you penned that article, that the
cause of the reduction in our county expens-
es is that the county officers are paid fixed
salaries now, which are considerably reduced
in comparison to those formerly paid ? Why
did you not put this into your statement, and
not seek to conceal the facts. X.
Center twp, Feb. 8, 1857.
REMARKs.-"X" is rightin calling our at
tention TO this, or any other matter, when he
thinks our statements not correct. The reas-
on why we did not assign as cause for the
dminution of our county expenses, change
in the salaries of county officers, was because
no such change had been made. Not coun-
ty officer has been acting under the new law
during the past year. Those elected last fall
come under the new law, but the difference
in their salaries will amount to just nothing
at all, as their legal fees will not reach the
amount which the law would permit them to
hold. This explanation we trust will satisfy
friend "X," and all others who may be la
boring under a similar delusion.

EENext Saturday is st. Valentines Day,
and of course our people will enjoy it accor-
ding to long established custom. 1t is on this
day that the birds are said to choose their
mates, or get married, ITO use human phrase, }
and it has therefore been regarded as fit oc-
casion for general interchange Of sentiment
and wit. 1t was formerly customary for
those indulging tn the exercises appropriate
to the day, to write some fine things for their
friends, without giving their signature, Of
course, and we have known much merriment
to arise from @ese silent messengers between
mind and mind. Then, sheet of letter pa.
per was not unfrequently cul into the most
beautiful shapes and figures by the ingen-
ious and instead of affording mere timely
sport, it also developed the genius Of those
engaging in it in more ways than one. But
within few years, Valentines have been
printed in great variety, and the people are
relieved from the mental effort hitherto de-
manded on such occasions. Powers has a
fine lot of them at low figures. and next Sat-
urday nj ght will doubtless find them scatter
ed all over creation and little farther, il
need be. The Shanghias will mate.

some attention to the production Of clover

bushels of seed. At SIS rs per bu., the price
