TIERS can appeal with perfect confidence TO
physicians and citizens generally Of the United
States, because the article has attained rcpu-
tation heretofore unknown. \ few facts upon
this point will speak more powerfully than
volumesof bare assertion or hlazoning puiiery.
The consumption Of lIostettcrs Stomach Bit
ters for the last year amounted 10 over half
million bottles, and from its manifest steady
increase in times past, it is evident that during
the coming gear the consumption Will reach
near one million bottles. This immense amount
could never have been sold but for the rare
mediciual properties contained in4he pfepara-
ton, and the sanction of tllc most prominent
physieiaas In those sections Of the country
where the article is baSt known, who not only
recommend the BitteTS their patients, but

For tho Lancaster Gazette
BASIL, February ee!h 1860.

MEssRs EDIroRs:
Dear Sirs:--As it has Of late
become somewhat popular to notice the
commen cement exercises OF the different
schools in the county, beg lsavs through
the columns of the Gazette to lay before
your readers very brief summary Of the
commencement exercises Of the Basil
School, whittier my natural curiosity led
me yesterday. The forenoon was wholly
spent in the examination OF the diIferent
classes in reading. geography, arithmetic,
grammar and algebra.
The examination throughout proved Of
The deepest interest, from the fact that tie
scholars evinced an acquaintance with
those branches far surprising the most
sangune expectations of all present, and |
cannot do justice TO either Mr.. JENKINS, or
his scholars without here mentioning that
l have never seen more prompt and ef-
6cient examination in any Of our higher
institutions of learning. But our friend
BILLY W lib his usual amount OF good d.taste
reserved the cream for the last.
At an early hour in the afternoon the
basement story Of the church was crowded
with both students and spectators rs-tbC
former eager to make the display. and the
latter no less anxious to seeand hear.
The afternoon exercises were introdu
ced with song by the school, after which
followed an array OF compositions number
ing some twenty or more, all OF which
contained something interesting and in
strucGve.
The next was dechm ,tions and dialogues
Here we were treated with both the senti
mental and comic, which was calculated
to suit the fancy alike OF the melancholy
and the sanguine; and Young America
went in" with gusto rarely surpassed
many Of the participants being so youn!
that it made the language Of the tyro ora
tor, very appropriate when he said:
"You' scarce expect ono ofmy age,
To speak in public on the stage"
Tue audience was then addressed b.
DR., ,SnRADER, upon the subject of educa
ton in which he held forth the necessit,
of ,and the benefits accraing from an edu
cation. generally, and urged upon the pa
rents the necessity Of taking more zeal
Gus and active part in the proper cultuT
Of the outhful mind.
After VIII i6b, the teacher, Mr.; JENKINS
! made short but very appropriate appea
to his scholars urging them not only TO re
! tain what they had gained during the pas
' winter, but also to add to their alread
accumulated stock of knowledge. TIL
exercises we're then closed bya song frol
: the scholars, after which each one bi
. their teacher an afftctionate farewell, an
the tears that were seen to course the
way down Ger many fair cheek was gu
: fcient evidence Of the high regard 4
; which they held Mr.. JENKINS both as
tgenJleman ana "A to&ohSr. May he Ii,
