Syphilitic Swellings, Erysipelas, Scald Head.
Salt Rheum, Female Complaints, Tumors,
Kings Evil, and all diseases arising from any
impurity of the blood.
PHYSICIANS WILL TELL YOU to let alone all pro-
prietary or quack medicines, as they call them.
Why ? For the simple reason that they are
put up with printed directions, and the name
and label is copyrighted. Show them the for
mula of preparation, and in nine eases out of
ten, they will approve of it. There are testi-
monials from physicians whose preiudices are
overbalanced by their good sense of the excel
lent virtues of Scovills Blood and Liver Syrup,
and who are using it for their private practice.

HALLS LUNG BALSAM, in all cases, gives
the best of satisfaction.
HALLS LUNG BALSAM has wrought more
cures since its introduction, than any other
cough medicine.
HALLS COUGH BALSAM is endorsed by our
leading physicians as the safest and best
remedy now before the public.
HALLS LUNG BALSAM is safe to use among
children, and yet powerful in cases of chron,
lie pulmonary diseases.
HALLS LUNG BALSAM brings in certif-
Gates almost daily of it wonderful cures in all
parts of the country.
The more striking proof Of the intrinsic
worth and excellence of DR.. Halls Balsam for
the Lungs is show in the apidity with which
it becomes a general favorite with the people.
There is nothing of a similar nature but what
s soon cast into the shade when the Balsarn
has been thoroughly tested. The agents for its
sale the country over, in ordering new supplies,
are very enthusiastic in its favor, saying, q it is
just the thing it acts like a charm its effects
are truly magical" The afflicted can obtain

Seizure of Liquor.

Ey- Our sheriff, although generally
considered a tolerable good temperance
man, seems to have a great penchaa for
whisky, Judging from the demands he
every now and then makes upon the deal
ers in sod" D." (%instant death
&C. L." (chain lightning), and cd.
s." dead shot)-these being the COM
mon brands of this vicinity. On Mon
day last he again levied contributions up
on the dealers in the "villainous com
pound" and - not without many muir
u against such exhibitions of rapaci-
ty-succeeded in securing divers bar
rels and sundry kegs and demijohns Of
the "craythur." Everybody admits, we
believe, that the stuff ought to be "spill-
ed" though there is variance as respects
the method of doing it. Whether 1t is to
be done by wholesale, as the G. IT'S CON
tend it should be, or by retail, as the
whiskey men prefer TO have it, will be
decided by lawful contest before Justice
HART.

Railroad Matters.

LS We noticed, two or three DAYS
since, that the work on the railroad bridge
at this place was fast progressing, and
learned that it was expected that the
structure would be nearly completed the
present week. Most of the piles are
driven, and the water has been drawn off
from the mill-pond for several days, in
order to admit of putting up the bents
which the rocky bed of the river render
necessary. Most of the cross-ies are up.
and after the erection of the bents, and
stays to the piles, there will be but little
to do except to raise and fasten the string
ers. The structure will certainly be
ready by the time the track is laid to this
point. The cost Of the bridge, we UNI
derstand, will be in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
On Saturday last the track-layers were
within five miles of town, and they will
undoubtedly reach town, if the weather
is favorable, by the first of the coming
week. A Mr.. Stout, of Dubuque, has
the contract for the erection of the depot
buildings, and the lumber will undoubt-
eddy be brought here already framed, and
ready TO be put up in a twinkling, so
that there will be no delay on this ac-
count. We may therefore expect. by the
beginning of December, to be in regu-
lar railroad communication with Du-
buque and the East.

More New Goods.


EN- HELLMAN, no doubt in conse-
quence of the facts which he weekly LAYS
before tbe people of the county through
the newspapers, finds his last fall pur-
chases entirely inadequate TO meet the
demands of his customers, and has sew
eral times been compelled to renew his
orders. We noticed a new arrival of
goods at his store Tuesday night, among
which may be found some very nice pat
terms of Prints, excellent Kentucky Jeans,
and Farmers and Mechanics Cassimeres.

etts, C~assimeres, Cotton Flannels, some
very excellent Bed Ticking. and a varied
assortment of Clothing. He has also re-
eeiyed a very fine article Of so cent Tea,

readers to give him a call.

We learn from reliable authority that the Du-
buque and Pacific Railroad will be completed
TO Independence in about two weeks, provided
the weather continues fair. There is to be a
great jubilee held at Independence when the
road reaches that point.
EI We copy the above from the Du-
buque Times in order to show the people
OF Independence what is expected of
them. The railroad company will pro-
badly give a free excursion to this point,
as soon as the road is opened, and we
think u citizens should make prepare.
tons for a glorious jollifcation. The oc-
casion is worthy of o celebration, and we
hope we shall have one. But if anything
IS TO be done the matter should be taken
IN hand very shortly, as the construction
tram will De running here in a very few
days. Shall we celebrate the advent of
the iron horse in our midst that's the
question. If SO, let some one call a
meeting, and put the thing in motion.
1t We don't celebrate such an event. the
people Of the State will think we are
either asleep or dead. an impression that
would do us no good. BY all means,
then, let Us have a grand jollifca,ion.

Boots.
EE- The season for slush and mud is
now at hand, and to escape i'll effects
therefrom, it is necessary that the feet
should be kept warm and dry. We
know no better way of accomplishing
this than to go to WILEY, and get a pair
of boots made of Wapsie leather. This
leather turns water admirably, and when
made up in WILEY's excellent style,
makes a boot dry, strong, durable, smooth
and handsome. Don't believe us, but
try it.
