Dyspepsin,

This is very distressing complaint, and
gives the patient more su ffering than almost any
other disease; in fact, it is combination of
many complaints in one. The symptoms are
numerous, and are of the nature Of almost all
other complaints combined. From this fact
arise the very many cases where this disease is
mistaken for some other, and improperly
treated. The first ymptoms-indigestion flat
ulency, loss of appetite, headache, etc, if ne
elected, almost always awaken some dormant
disease, and send the poor sufferer to prema-
ture grave. What you must first do is cleanse
the blood and regulate the bowels do this with
the Mountain Herb Pills. and you can bid de-
tance TO dyspepsia.

Fire.


EE About ten o'clock on Friday
night, while most of our citizens were
attending Older's Show, they were start
led by the cry of fire, and on rushing out
found the large barn belonging to the
Old Judson House, enveloped in flames.
The building was frame one, and as it
contained considerable amount of hay,
burned with great rapidly, and in a
quarter of an hour was almost entirely
consumed. At the time there were eight
horses in the barn, one or two of them
very valuable. They were all taken out
but one, stallion belonging to D. s. LEE,
which persisted in the flames. Mr.. HEAD
had one horse badly burned about the
head and neck, and lost all of his har-
ness. Mr.. ARMSTRONG also lost all of
his harness. Mr.. HEAD lost four tons of
hay, $50 bushels Of corn, $50 bushels of
oats, all his potatoes, lot of harrows,
cultivators, DC. His loss is probably
between two and three hundred dollars.
The fire first caught in the loft, and was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.
The barn was insured for $3.50 in the
Home Insurance Company of Philadel-
phia.

A Patriotic Sermon.

w We wish that every man and
woman in the county could have heard
the sermon delivered by Rev. Mr.. Boecs
on last Sunday morning. From the text
"lF THE FOUNDATION Is GONE, WHAT
SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO % he discours-
ed in terms of the highest and most earn
est patriotism, relative to the troubles in
our country. Without speaking particu-
larly of the causes of the present atrocious
attempt to overthrow the government, he
said that the more philosophical of the peo-
pie realized that slavery was the pretext
rather than the cause, and quoted the Ian.
guage of Senator DOUGLAS, that at no
time since the formation of the govern
ment has slavery less to complain of than
at present-at no time have its interests
been more secure. He extolled our gov.
eminent as one under which the highest
need of prosperity, development, and
b"p PiueoS, cNei aSCOTueu W u udttOu, udu
been attained-a fact which added toahe
infamy of the attempt to subvert it. He
was incredulous as to the possibility OF
erecting better government upon its
ruins. but believed that civil freedom
would receive a mortal blow should the
government be overturned. Secession
was crime against humanity and against
God, and every true christian and earn
est patriot should war against it. War
was great calamity, but the govern
ment had been attacked, and it must
meet force with force. Better that thous-
ands, aye, tens of thousands, of us, should
offer up the great sacrifice of life on the
altar OF our country, than that the great
heritage left us by our fathers should be
despoiled, and the light of hope to op-
pressed millions should go out. God
was undoubtedly working out some great
end in this struggle, possibly-though he
hoped not in blood-the wiping out of
slavery-that dark, foul blot upon our
country's page.
These points, with many others. and
the general moral and religious principles
which underlie the subject. were pressed
with even more than the Rev. gentleman s
usual power and earnestness, awakening
the liveliest interest in the breasts of his
audience. We have not attempted to
give more full and perfect outline of
the discourse because we are in the hope
of being able to lay the sermon in full
before our readers.

Commercial College, of Dubuque, a
copy of his neat Business Directory of
that city for 1862. 1t is small duo

printed with the taste that marks the Du-
buque Times office. 1t contains great
deal of information, historical and Stats
teal, besides the advertisements of all
the prominent business houses Of Dubu-
que. 1t is useful little book, and will
do much for the good of the Key City.
We presume it is intended. for gratuitous
