A Powerful and certain Remedy for Rheum-
atism, Lumbago, and Pains in the Limbs.

rheumatism which CAN BE CURED; while its
occasional use is sure to afford soothing relief
in those old. long standing, chronic cases
which have become so ''settled in the bones"
as to be incurable. Price 25 cents.
sJrNo one who gives this article fair trial
will fail to be convinced that it certainly will
do all ce claim for ii, VERY OFTEN MUCH MORE,

REcRUITING.-The war spirit, which
had been in a great measure destroyed by
a set of politicians who think more of par
ty than they do of their country, has re-
vived within the last week, and we should
not be at all surprised to see Miflin coun-
ty place two companies in the field instead
of the one called for, Mr.. Waream is ap-
proximatirg full company, and Mr.. Nc
Manigle can probably command at least
fifty at this time, while others we hear of
have squads sufficient to fill both. This
afternoon the county commissioners will
meet, when arrangements will probably be
made with the citizens for paying liberal
bounty to each volunteer. s
Capt. Waream's company is to leave this
morning, with, we believe, full compli-
ment of names.
nG Geo. w. Soult has been authorized
to recruit for the celebrated Bucktail Rifle
Brigade, and has opened an Office next door
to Mrs Mary Marks drug store, East Mar
ket street This presents fine opportu-
nifty for entering into active service, and as
the members will be entitled to all the
bounties &c. offered by the government, is
more desirable than any other corps.
neA- The weather has been extremely
hot for several days.
We have this year the heaviest wheat
crop raised in this county in 10 years
