Gg"One of the most startling cases is narrated of Dr. M Lane's Vermifuge by Dr. John Butler, of Lowell, Trumbull Co.. Ohio. Tlic case was that of young lady who had been very sick for eight years, and had consulted a number of physicians, who had treated it as one of Prolapsus Uieri. Dr. Butler was then called in, and for time believed with his predecessors that it case of Pro- lapsus: He was, however, soen fotcedy to the con- clusion that this patient was suffering from worms and af CT much persuasion prevailed upon her to take two doses of Dr. AILane's Vermifuge, pre- pared by Fleming Bros. of Pittsburgh. This med 'clne had the effect of removing from her countless number of the largest sizo. After sie passed them, her health immediately returned. She Is since married, and continues to enjoy ex- cellent health.
 gS Purchasers will be careful to ask for DTl. M LANES'S CELEBRATED VERMIFCGE. man. ufactured by FLEMING BROS. of PirrsBuRa. PA. All other Vermifuges in comparison are worthless Dr. NJ Lanes genuine Vernifuge, also his cele- brated Liver Pills can now be had af all respec- table drug stores.

On GOssips !!

A word upon Gossips and gossping.
 There is no animal so contemptible, and so miserably mean in soul, body, and spirit, as a Gossip. .--. n.r
 Of the class mosquito, genus scorpion, and ot the sex, generally feminine tho not universally.
 It exists in every community and hutters about every house.
 . It huns and buzzes about peoples ears, and alghts the despairing individual, only to leave deadly poison.
 D It wandereth up and down, like the famed lion of Scripture, seeking whom it may devoul and eat up. .......
 It gathereth sustenance like the bee from the flowers, and like the bee leaveth it's sting wher ever it resteth. ...
 .A It is species of dragon, that openeth its jav only to mortify every living thing.
 It vaunteth itself on it's charity, and with it. nosome slime, putrifes all that it touches
 It appears now in the shape of garrulous ol man-now in the meddlesome old maid and no, in the guise of despairing widow, who havin worried one, two, or three poor mortals into al hntimely grave, desires to worry into sin,ila quarters every living thing.
 Having no business of it's own, it meddes wit the affairs of others. ....
 It is ominous of evil--it despiseth the true the beautiful and the good. ..... -.
 It fatteneth on evil report, it overcometh tn, o good in the world. =. .t ....
 It upholdeth cant, and it derideth candor.
 It overpowers truth, and it maketh lie whithersoever it goeth.
 It is dirty, mean, contemptible creature, that blackeneth the reputations of others with its slime thinking that by so doing it hideth its own uglness.
 It is species of ostrich, that hides it's head when pursued, and vainly imagines it is out of sight because out of mind.
 All of which is respectfully submitted to the race.
 " From such Gossips and their gossiping, from such liars and theirlies from backbters and their backbitings from meddlers with other peoples business,a and despsers of their own, Good Lord de liver us :; and may kind Providence deliver a stricken world. When this is done, Millennium will dawn and not till then. -.r.r J.. ..s,..s. ..t

The Pennsylvania Election


 The glorious news of the glorious work ac compished on Tuesday, in Pennsylvania, vii afford but cold comfort to the hydra-headed mon ster Fusion, which hoped to stalk successfully across the iron mountains, and through the broad valleys of the noble old Keystone State'
 The friends of Freedom and Free Territories met in battle that day the united hordes Of oia- very extensionists, squatter sovereigns, and tn- tinuabulatory dis-unionists and won triumph ant victory. , a
 If the combined forces of these motley sym pathizers is vain against the ranks of the freedom- loving people in this campaign-how widely shall they be scattered in the frosts of the November blast, when the rotten cord that binds the troops has received it's death-blow now, and the differ ent factions engage in Kilkenny War against each other.
 But the Rtghttriumphs everywhere, and ueith- CT here, nor in Pennsylvania, nor in Indiana or New York, will Fusion avail, whose only ele- ment of strength is it's malignant hatred of Truth, and its persistent upholding of the wrong.
 So may the friends of Free Territories every where triumph in this irrepressibls conflict until this shall be Free Government, in fact, as it was founded in the faith and was given the name! ,.
