Railroad Convention.

ES- We devote a good proportion OF
our space to the proceedings of the State
Railroad Convention. The Civilian, last
week, with its usual regard for truth,
says that the Republican delegates voted
for, and the Democratic delegates against.
the proposition of State aid. The report
shows that the two men who were most
active in opposing the proposition in the
convention, were Henry O'Connor and
Jacob Butler, two of the most prominent
Republicans in the State.

Fever and Ague is terrible disease
or " all the ills that flesh is heir to- it
is the iaintest in it's first manifestations,
the most defiant of medical skill. Fever
and Ague is more destructive of life
than consumption, because it is more
prevalent. 1t marks its victims for the
grave, like an executioner's bond. Day
by day, the sufferer grows weaker and
weaker, and each hour does he fear a
strong consciousness of approaching the
tomb. We have said that the disease is
one OF those which has nearly always de-
fled medical science--a few cases once
and awhile having been cured and re-
ported. We are happy to announce that
DR.. j. Hostetter, of Pittsburg, has pre-
pared a compound that has never been
known to fail in curing the worst cases
of this terrible disease. We recommend
DR.. j. Hostetter's Celebrated Bitters to
suffering humanity generally, as sure
and speedy specific.
