rREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE


Dr. G,sstav Lim,iard's Taste RestoratiUe Troc8es,
tie Great Substitute for Tobaeco.-It 1t is aswell
known and incOntrovertable fact that the of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is hject. cureful
alass and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it contains certain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effects,
which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and operations of the Heart causing ma
nv to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she eutire nervous system,
manifesting itself-as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony-in Lassitude,
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash, Dyspepsia and
many other disorders of similar character. The
Taste Restorative Troches' designed to coun-
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert beneficial effect upon the entire sys-
tenn, restoring the Taste which has become vita
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of the Throat-which always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of To-
bacco, and by giving n healthy tone to the Stom-
aeh, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches Immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in con-
venient and portable form at the low price of 80
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
all orders should be addressed.

New SErTLEMENr.-The Philadelphia Ere
ming Bulletin says. a new settlement has been
started at Hammonton, New Jersey, which tor
success and progress rivals anything we have
heard of in the West. There is a large en-
igration having objection to the West on ac-
count of unhealthfulnesS, distance and asso-
citation, which embraces this new enterprise.
The land is in genial climate, and the soil is
said TO be amongst the best Jersey soil. Jer-
sey, as will be seen by the agricultural sta
tistics at the Patent Office, is the first ag-
ricutural State in the Union for the value
of its products. Hammonton is within thirty
miles of Philadelphia by railroad, and enjoys
one of the best markets in the Union. The
tide of emigration to this place is immense,
Many of the best grape growers of Ohio have
located, with view to making wine. To
judge of its progress, the population one year
ago is numbered at only five persons; it now
numbers over eight hundred souls, has one
hundred and twenty-five buildings, three stores,
two churches, Episcopal and Methodist, steam
mill, brick yard, marble yard, public school,
newspaper, &c, some twenty-five miles OF
new roads opened, six square miles being i'm
proved, new railroad station, and all the ele-
ments of an old place. We are satisfied that
this place must possess merit from its unparal-
leled progress.

Tue OLDEST GRIsr MILL IN PENNSYLVANIA.
How few of the many persons who take an
afternoon drive along Church Lane, now call
ed MILL street. know the history of the quaint
old stone mill situated ina romantic spot, about
mile from the main street, partially surround
ed with rocks and large trees, and alongside
of a sparkling stream. This primitive struc-
ture, still used by Spencer Roberts as grist
MILL was erected early as 1858, by Richard
Townsend, a Friend, who brought most of its
materials from England. Some years after
wards, in his printed address to Friends, he
speaks of this and its difficulties. He states
that his was the only mill for grain in the
| rounding country, and that il was of great SER
vice to the inhabitants fer miles around. Far
mers who wished their grist ground brought
tame bull to perform the labor.
On account of his seclusion, being in the
woods, he had great difficulty in obtaining
fresh meat. and was occasionally weeks with
out any. On one occasion while he was now
ing in his meadow, a young deer came very
near to him, seeming to wonder at his labor
| it would follow him while he worked, but when
he stopped or approached it, it would skip
| away. On one occasion, however, an accident
made him stumble and so scared the deer that
| ii rushed suddenly aside against sapling
| which stunned HIM much that he fell and
was captured alive, and soon after killed to the
| great relief ofthe family. Reader, if you pass
| by the old grist mill again, think of the hard
| ships of our fathers and the suflerings which
they went through.-Germanto,cn Telegraph.
