Medical Science.

The history Of 'HOOFLAND'S GER
MAN BITTERS,' the most remarkable
Medicine of the day, and the many cures
that have been performed with it in cases
of LIVER COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA,
NERVOUS DEBILITY, and diseases
arising from disordered liver o. stomach.
places it among tie most astonishing dis
coveries that has taken place in the medical
world. The diseases to which these BIT.
tiers are applicable are SO universal that
there are but few of our friends who may
not test their virtues in their swn families
or circle of acquaintaaces, and prove to
their own satisfaction that there is at least
one remedy among the many advertised
medicines, deserving the public commeLda-
tion. 1t is fact that, in the mids of many
persons. a prejudice exists against what are
called Patent Medicines; but why should
this prevent you you resorting to All article
that has such an array of testimony to sup
por: It as HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BIT
TERS. Physicians prescribe it, Why
should you discard it! Judges usually con-
sidered men Of talent, have and do use it in
their own families. Why should you reject
it, Clergymen and those the most eminent,
take it; why should not you, Let not your
prejudice usurp your reason, to the ever
lasting injury of your health; if you are
sick and require a medicine try these Bit
ters.
These Bitters are prepared ami sold by

Pay Your Taxes.


Tax payers will hear in mind that only
one half of their taxes (including Road taxi
is required to be paid before the goth of De
ceHber; the balance before the 10th of
June. 1859. The whole of any tax may be
paid at once, If the taxpayer choose. II
one half Of any tax is paid by the Goth oI
December no penalty sttaches to the other
half until after the Goth of June. In case
no part Of any personal tax is paid by the
20Ih of December, the ,chole OF such tax is
considered due, and five per cent added for
collection as under former law, also if one
ha If of any tax on Land or Town Lots is
mol paid by the 20;h, the same penalty is
added TO one half of fsrch tax for collection,
and if not collected by distress or other
wise. before the first OF February. 80 per
cent. penalty is imposed on one half, and
II hot paid before the goth of June next, the
whole Will he charged with the interest and
penalty of 80 per cent, and put on the d.
plicat- o. next year as Delinquent Taxes
This exposition ef the new tax law is deem
ed necessary in consequence of the mis-
apprehension which exists in the commu-
nity relative to the same.
1t is to be hoped that tax payers will not
delay the payment of their taxes till the
last hour--as heretofore-and then crowd
upon the Treasurer, renderingsit impossible
To transact business satisfactorily to either
part. Taxpayers of S.. SClairsSille7 and
vicinity who have heretofore been INDUCED
in pay ing their t.Xes after the Goth OF De-
rembrr. without penalty. will bear in mind
that the Treasurlr has no discretionary
power in the matter, and will be compelled
t. enforce the law s,rictly-without regard
TO persons--and impose the penalty required
by law Immediately alter the Goth o. Dec
Tax payers wilI please to bring their Road
tax receipts with them, as they are received
in payment OF the first half of their taxes.
Notes on the State Bank of Ohio, on the

chanics' Bank of Wheelng-payab.e in

Political Parties.

Said Senator Douglas in his Alton speech !:
II is still more unfortunate that there is
a third party in the feld--I mean the Amer
leans. always ieel embarrassed, fellow
citizens, in undertaking to refer to them
for any purpose. have read their plat
forms and declarations of principle; and |
must say, that excepting so far as they de
sign to impose new restraints upon the
naturalization of foreigners, do not un-
derstsnd them, at least in any practical
sense. In all other respects it seems to
me they do not themselves understand verv
distinctly what they mean, or what they
intend 10 do. They appear to have no fixed
standard of faith by which their own Or
thcioSy may be rested. Notwithstanding
this radical defect, (and it is very radical
one-for what is any party worth without
clear and well-de6ned princi2lesD they
have two elements of responsibility: lst,
the high character of some of their leading
men. (Fillmore and Crittenden for exam
ple;) and I'd, their steady opposition to po-
litical Republicanism. But it were far bet
ter that they should disperse-better fer
themselvs, for us, and for the country OF
large. Why will they net be persuaded to
make themselves mere respectable by join
ing US, or add to the respect of the Repub.
lican Party by going over to it! Ell her al.
tentative would oe preferable to distinct
organization. Triangular contests are al
ways Improbable; and the American party
ought to have too much self-respect tc
stand, as they do, like the Westchestel
cowboys of the Revolution, between the
two principal combatants, waging prat
ical warfare against BOTH"
Shrewd advice this, though coming from
political opponen'. ..

FeverS.

Like all other forms of disease to which
the hnman System is liable, is caused by i'm.
pure humors. This being caused by the
more rapid action of the blood struggling
with nature, in enJeavoring to Cast out of
the body the corrupt mater which is deadly
opposed to health Hence the good and bad
humurs are at war with each other, and the
commotion which follows causes fever and
heat The symptoms of fever are various;
causing heaviness, langu:d, difficult breath
ing, eyes dull ane heavy, anxiety, signing
and yawniEg, alternate fits of heat and CO, d.
After which the patient complains Of pain
in the head and neck, great thirst, nausea
and 81, knees, fulness about the stomach,
and sometimes vomiting bilious ma ter. DR..
Morse's Indian Root Pills are acknowl-
edged to be Strengthening and delightful |
medicine for all kinds of fevers. They not
only cleanse the stomach and bowels from
all billions matter, but they open the excre-
:ory vessels, causing them to pour copious
effusions from the blood into the bowels,
after which the corrupted mass is thrown
cut by the natural passage Of the body. All
that is required, in urgent cases OF fever,
will be TO take large doses. In order to have
them operate thoroughly by the bowels, take
from three 70 FIVE, night and morning, until
the fever entirely disappears. Alter which,
from two to four every evening, until well,
and you will be convinced that this is the
best way to check fever, because they drive
out all inflammation, and restore the body to
state of sound heslth. And the blood and
other fluids will be So thoroughly purified
that disease ip any form Will be utterly i'm
possible.
DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold by
all dealers in Medicines.

A bill is before the Legislature, the pur.
pose Of which is to extend the franchises of
any company chartered by the Canadian or
British governments, for the purposes Of
trade or transportation on the navigable
rivers northwest Of this State, in the Brit
ish possessions, to our own State, with pro-
per restrictions, Of course, designed to pro
tect our own citizens. A company, we are
informed, has been already formed in Cana
da, called the Western transportation Com
pany, looking to the extension Of the facili-
ties OF transit from Canada, by way Of st.
Paul, to the Red River Settlements of the
North. Thus the first step has been taken
by the citizens Of the two governments,
with the sanction of their respective Legs
latures, towards cooperation in movement
which is to change the commercial relations
OF the continent.

The farmers in Washington county are
harvesting their grain. The Red Wing
Republican, of the 23d inst, says the "far-
mers have fairly commenced the harvest OF
their winter wheat. A large amount has
already been cut in different parts of the
country. II has been somewhat damaged
by the rains aud bad weather Of the past
few weeks, but that the rust is not as ex-
tensive as many had reason to fear. The
amount sown being so much larger than
last year, it Is probable that the harvest will
show q considerable excess, notwithstanding
the damage ii sustained Spring wheat and
other crops are still 10 very perfect condi-
ton and promise large yield"
In another column an account OF the
state Of the crops in the southern portion Of
the State can be found.
