The Persian Fever Charm ! !

NOR the prevention of Fever and Apue and
Bilious Fevers This wonderful remedy
was brought to the knowledge Of the present
proprietors by friend who has been a great
traveller in Persia and the Holy Land.
While going down the river Euphratus, he ex-
perienced severe attack of Fever and Ague.
On discovering his condition, one of the Boat
men took from his person an Amulet, saying,
" Wear this and no fever will touch you" Al
though incredulous as to its virtues; he COM
piled and experienced immediate relief, and has
since always found it an effectual protection
from all malarions complaints.
On further investigation he found that the
boatlnan attributed to it miraculous powers,
and said that it could only be obtained from the
Priests of the Sun. Sometime afterwards, the
gentleman in conversing with Priest obtained
from him the secret of its preparation. and as
certained where the medicinal herbs were found
of which it was compounded The wonderful
virtues of this article have induced full belief
in the minds of the natives in the miraculous
healing powers of their Priests
Since his return to America, 1t has been tried
with the happiest effect by several Ladies' and
Gentlemen Of high character, who have given it
the most unqualified praise. This remedy hav-
ing been specific in Persia for hundreds of
years, for the prevention and cure of fever and
ague and Bilious Fevers-is now offered to the
American people.

directions for use, on receipt of one-dolar.

interest; after this Rev. Mr.. Arm

speech to the children, in which he
related several anecdotes and some of
his youthful experience.
The announcement was then made
that the children would have few
moments of recreation previous to
dinner, after which they were invited
to the tables, near by, which were all
laden with edibles Of superior quail

the parents and all others were invited
to dinner which was readily accepted
and without any ceremony, each one
helped themselves.
After dinner the assemblage was
called together, to listen to an address
from Rev. Mr.. Armstrong, which was
very able one, and very attentively
listened to. The children were now

The occasion was enlivened b,

Wire Walking.

The Philipsburg Standard says:
Mons. De Lave is, we understand,
making preparations to perform the
feat of walking across the Delaware
upon rope. Judging from accounts
which have reached us from other Sec
tions, the performance of this perilous
undertaking will be worth witnessing.
P. S.-Since writing the above, we
learn that Mr., Thomas Compton, of
Centerville, U. M. Bethel Township,
Pa, will perform the same feat, and
surpass De Leve, by pushing wheel
barrow before him.

TO Succeed

TO Succeed
The enterprising business man, one
who keeps his eyes open to the fuc-
tuations of "prices current" and
makes his business the upper idea in
his brain, is the man most likely to
meet the reverse turns of trade. Every
business man has his secret of success,
but the general and never failing Sc
cret-thc secret adopted by far seeing
business men, is to advertise. Adyer-
tisements in local county newspaper,
are as parambulating sign boards, and
a standing advertisement makes its
pcrigenations weekly to almost every
family in the county, provided said
advertisement is in the Press. Bust
ness men awakened to their own in
terest are making our paper the
medium of intelligence and inasmuch
as we now have by considerable num-
bers the largest circulation of any pa
per published in the county, "a truth
undeniably true) it behooves merch-
ants to fall in and take care of num-
Der one.

Douglas meeting at Easton All par

different candidates. You can see
Peter, David, Samuel, Isaac and all
the names of ancient fame, standing
around in small companies, conte nding
for the right some reverencing the
decisions of the Supreme Court, and
others glorying in popular sovereignty,
and others still going for rail-splitting

opinion exist, all agree that BUR-
WELLS is the place to get the worth
of your money.

Pardoned

Our readers will remember that
about year ago, a young woman was
arrested and put in prison on the
charge of burning down the barn of
Rev. Isaac Winner, in the township
of HopewelI She was tried for the
offence, convicted and sentenced to
the State Prison. At the last session
of the court of Pardons, she was re-
leased from continent. But instead
Of showing any signs Of reformation,
she seems determined upon revenge,
and has threatened the life of Mrs.
Winner, and Benjamin L Yard She
has been in the vicinity of these per-
sons and behaved in very strange
and suspicious manner. She returned
to Trenton and was arrested by Mar
shall Starin. The desire is to send
her to Philadelphia where she belongs.
She is really dangerous character
viscious to an astonishing degree, and
of very inferior intellect. How she
came to be pardened ont nobody
knows. But all admit that she ought
to have been kept in CONTINENT the
full term of her sentence. True Am
e1'icdn.
The girl has since been taken tc
Philadelphia.
