IMPURE BLOOD!

The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is
at once distributed to every organ Of the
body. Every nerve feels tAe poison, and all
the vital organs quickly complain. The stom.
ach will not digest the food perfectly. The
liver ceases to secrete a sufficiently of bile.
The action Of the heart is weakened, and so
the circulation is feeble. The lungs become
clocged with the poisonous matter hence, u
cough-.and all from a slight impurity at the
fountain-head Of life-the Blood AS if you
had thrown some earth, for instance, in n
pure spring, from which ran a tiny ~riyulet, in
a few minutes the whole course of the stream
becomes disturbed and discolored. AS quick
.ly does impure blood fly to every part, and
leave its sting behind. All the passages be-
come INSTRUCTED, and unless the obstruction
is-removed, the lamp of life soon dies out.
These pills not only purify the blood, but
regenerate all the seCretiOns of the body they
are therefore, unriralled as -
CURE ron BILIOUS DISEASES,
Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, sc. This

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IL, 1861.
VOLUME VII, NUMBER XXXIY.
The Vote in this County,

The vote In this County is SO near in,
that We can get at pretty near the correct
result for Governor, and approximate the
state of the vote for the County officers
The majority of Governor Washburn in
this County, this year over both Jameson
and Dana, will exceed his majority last
year over Smart and Barnes, by about If
ty votes. The Republican majority on
County officers, will be about the same as
last year; the lowest on the ticket will
have 500 majority over all other eandi-
dates, and the highest, perhaps 900. We
cannot estimate this vote with exaetness,
because in some towns we have to take
the Governor vote as basis.
The jameson vote exceeds our estimate
little, which comes through the activity
of the leaders for few days before the
election, and the staying at home of the
DanaiteS. in this town. The Jameson vote
is made up of about six hundred Demo-
Gratis, one hundred and seventy straight
Wings, and the balance of Republicans
The Dana vote will exceed the Jameson
vote, when all in, about loo.
The Fusion ticket for County officers
will ret about the same vote as the Dana
ties. though Woodland for Register of
Deeds will run ahead of Newbegin, per-
haps one hundred votes.
