delphia. on the 25th ult., according to previous
announcement.
aaE-The Junior of the Democrat and the
Junior Of the Press are at loggerheads just
now as to who has the most sweethearts. If
their tales are to be believed, both must be
somewhat inclined to Mormonism."
asA.The Democrat makes sour face over
its endorsement of Mr.. Peachey two years
ago. Mr. Peachey is now what he was then,
an upright and honest man, and all that that
paper can now say will not afford an iota of
reason why democrats should not vote for him.

From L. {. Trowbridge, Esq, President
Michigan state Bank.

DETROIT, August 90, 1850.
DR.. Geo. B. Green-Dear Sir-IIaying been
great sufferer from Dyspepsia, and having
been cured as believe by your Oxygenated
Bitters, most cheerfully attest their efficacy.
My case was bad one In the space Of four
months | lost my strength, and forty-seyen
pound of fesh was compelled to abandon
business, and remained an invalid for fifteen
months. Travelling and absence from Office
duty had done something for me, but there
seemed little probability Of cure until be-
gan to take the Bitters. In one week | was
greatly relieved, and in three weeks was
perfectly well, and have since regained thirty
pounds of flesh. You are at liberty to use
this, if it will at all further your laudable
purpose of diffusing this valuable remedy.
Respectfully yours, C. c. TRowDRrDGE
Such certificates as the above are not to be
obtained in favor of medicine destitute of
merit, but are only given upon the most sat
isfactory proofs of their efficacy and success.

why Should DIR. Bower be Reelected,

We hope every taxpayer in Miffiin coun-
ty will this fall ask himself the question
why he should vote for Dr. Bower to rep
resent Mifiin county in the next legisla-
ture? We have given substantial reasons
why he should not be reelected, by show
ing that his votes on most of the impor-
tant questions up before that body were
against the wishes and interests Of major
ity Of the people, and thus far no defence
of his Inconsistencies has been attempted,
but we have been met with the puerile cry
that We are assailing his private character,
and that the DR.. is a Democrat Such rea-
soning in years gone by was potent enough
TO cover sins Of all kinds, but now, when
small sums of money are becoming Of es-
sential Importance to all classes, it is to be
hoped that taxpayers viii awaken to the
Importance Of economy in legislation as
well as at home. 1t is by such a test that
DIR. Bowers course ought to be tried to as
certain whether he has been faithful to the
few or the many. Examine his votes-in-
quire about his promises previous to his
first election-compare them with his acts
and you can judge for yourselves wheth-
er If he were your agent on farm or in
some other important business, you would
trust him again under corresponding cir
scumstanees

Many kinds of Tonic are advertised that
we are assured will strengthen the hair and
prevent its falling out, but none that we have
seen used does all that it promises, save that
of Professor o. j. Wood. This we know is
good from having tried it, and witnessed in
several cases its truly beneficial effects Or.
Wood was kind enough to send us couple of
bottles, and after finding that it prevented our
hair from falling out, we presented bottle to
friend who had been bald for at least thirty
years. 1t has restored his hair entirely, and
it is now as thick and glossy as when he was
twenty.f This We say in all sincerity, and
we shall be glad to have our friends try il for
themselves, as we believe it is lust what il

in connection with the above, would seem
to indicate that whiskey and lager are

BzE~The Democrat Of this week abounds
in all kinds Of charges against US, against
Mr.. Peachy, and against the opposition gen
orally, backed by the usual number of ''fibs"
which annually appear in that print at this
season. 1t considers opr advocacy of a
sale of all the public works full justifca-
ton for DR. Bower voting for what he
promised he would not goes in for the
free whiskey bill of course; and defends
the so cent militia tax under the pretext
that it has been imposed long ago. That's
true, but the difference is that it was not
collected, while nor it will be; and what
that difference will be, can be inferred from
the fact that in 1857 the amount paid IN
to the State Treasury by this county for
militia tax was but S135. As there arc
over 5000 taxables in Miffiin county, any
one can figure out, after making due allow
ance for generations, what a compulsory
collection will produce. 1t is now pay or
go to Jail, as good many hard working
men will find out, perhaps not Jctorc the
election, but certainly before the pres
ent duplicates are settled.
