cure Sick Headache. Take one or two tea
spoonsful at each attack and it will soon disap-
pear. For an overloaded stomach, or when
food rises or sours, take the Invigorator after
eating, and it will not prove dLsagreeaole or op-
pressive. For Heartburn, Papitation, or Dfih-
cult Breathing, take teasPoonfui once or twice
daily. For loss of Appetite, Languor or List

LOCAL AFFAIRS,

LIcENsEs.--Tavernkeep and others who
intend to apply for licenses at the April court,
will do well by handing in their papers TO the
Prothonotary. The law is imperative, and
unless strictly complied with q license will
not be granted.
The RELIGIOUS MEETINGS in the Lutheran
Church closed on Sunday last, when, in the
presence of vast congregation, ffty-fve per-
sous became members. The number who
professed religion during the series was about
seyenty-ffty-f of whom became members
as above, and ten more made application for
membership
GEoLoGY.-Dr. Henderson's second lecture
on geology will be delivered in the Apprenti-
ces' Hall this evening. 1t is an interesting
subject, and in any place where scientific re-
search is appreciated would command crowd
ed houses. As the lecture will be illustrated
by diagrams showing the different rocks
and earths, we hope old and young will not
fail to attend.
Ba3-The Rev. DR.. Wicks, who has been
pastor Of the NJ. f. Church Of this place du-
ring the past year. will deliver his closing
sermon on Sunday next The Dr.. is an able
preacher, and although he has not succeeded
in revivifying the congregation, which for
some years had been in a stationary condition,
yet he has delivered many effective disceurses
under which there was an unmistakeahle
quailing among the sinners.
Dam LETTISG.-Proposals will be received
at the Canal Commissioners Office, Harris
burg, until March 10Th, for rebuilding the
Newton Hamilton Dam Bids we suppose
will be reeeieed from old line wings and know
nothings, but as it is kind Of work exclu-
sively belonging to the faithful, the success
ful bidder will hardly be taken from among
them.
IMPROVED STocK.-Our notice of the Big
Calf in the upper end has drawn the following
from a gentleman in the east end who has
done much towards improving the breed Of
cattle in this county:
LoCEE's Mills, February 20, 1857.
Dear Sir:-After reading your account of
the large calf raised in the upper part Of
cur county, | came to the conclusion TO give
YOU 4 description Of two calves raised at
Locke's Mills in same county:
BELLE, Hcifer Calf (her dams first calf,
calyed December Is, 1850, weighed that day
81 pounds, 1T one month old lS2 pounds, at
six months weighed 462 pounds az nine
months weighed 5S4 pounds, at one year 10
pounds and on the l4th Of the present month
weighed 765 pounds. Gain in 40 days, 694
pounds,
