SPECIAL NOTICES.

THE CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE are often
rendered vrstohsd by ailments which are triiling
in themselves, and easily cured II taken in time.
Affections Of the liver, stomach and other organs
concerned lin digestion are the most frequent.
They naturally make the sufferer nervous, irrita-
bio and complaining, and relatives and friends
arc forced to to bear the brunt II their illhumor.
The use of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters
will prove An efficient remedy for this evil. II
will not only strengthen tho whole physical Or
ganisation, but entirely cures the most obstinate
cases of indignation, diarrh@s, dysentary and
liver complaint The FIRST physicians in the
county are loud in their praise ofthis preparation.
Another recommendation of the Bitters il that

material Sufficient 10 fill il, not only occa-

There are, many things connected with
our Common Schools which afford abundant
subject matter for these articles. 'ff we were
10 enquire the object of school the answer
would be, toreauoateH the youth. And is
il not of the utmost importance that the
rising generation should be taught properly?
But who is 10 do this great work, is the
teacher alone responsible for the future
condition of these youihs3 The teacher
certainly does exert a great influence on
| the children who come under his control,
! yet The responsibility does not rest on him
alone. The parents who think they have
done their whole duty when they have pro-
vided School House, engaged Teacher,
| and then send their children TO school when
ever they have not work for them at home,
| do not know the responsibility devolving
upon them. In order that children become
interested in their school and studies it is
necessary that parents take an active part

they prefer play and outdoor amusement.

The democratic doctrine is that the people
of territory shall not legislale on the sIa-
very question so long as the territory is the
common properly of all the States, which it
is until the territory'asell becomes Stale
when it ceases TO be common property Is
not this very fair? Douglas proposes that
the people shall not legislate upon the ques-
ton till they have so 600 population, but
from that period up till they have $4,000
poPul alton they shall exercise The right of
| legislating on the matter of slavery, and
when they come to have $4,000, and come
| in as State they shall vote whether they
will have slavery or not in the new State
What an absurdi,y! First, they shall have
the right TO hold slaves till their population
lis SO, 600. Next when they have attained
so, 900, they may vote slavery out of the
territory Finally, when they number 93,.
600, and'apPly to come in as State, they
shall again vote on the question, and i
they see proper, vote slavery in again.
