IT is estimated that 10000 persons die annu-
4 ally in the United States with consumption,
and Professor Eberly says, that a vast number
of these could be saved by the timely use OF
some proper remedy.
DIR. HALLS BALsAM strikes at the root OF
the disease AT oNCE, and such is It's speedy eff
feet, that any one using it freely, according t.
directions for twenty four or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn it and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved ny 4
single dose, and broken up in few hours time.
The afflicted do not have to take bottle after bot
tie before they find whether this remedy will
afford relief or not.
n Call on the agent and get a pamphlet gra-
It's.
1t has effected cures in numerous cases, where
the most skilliul physicians in this country and
in Europe have been employed, and have cXcr-
ciscd their skill in vain. Cases which they pro
n0unced ipcHrdble, and surrendered as hOpeteSS
beu0fsd doubt, leaving the patients without 4
single ray to enliven them in their gloom, have
been cured by DIR. HALLS bs AA~Af1 VA,
and the (" victims of consumption are now Wig
orous and strong as the most robust among us.
And these cases are not isolated ones; they are
numerous, and can be pointed out in every com
munity, where this most unrivaled remedy has
been tested.
Be slow, then, to believe the oft repeated story
about the lungs being gone; or rather let no
such apprehension induce you to give up. Act
upon the principle that tghiIe there IS life there Is
hope. You can NEVER BE so Low that you may
not trust, humanity speaking, in HALLS BAL
SAM. More than one, nay hundreds, has il
brought almost from death to life, when all else
had failed. Give, then, this powerful but harm
less remedy trial.
The public have been imposed upon by rene
dies recommended by certificates which have
always originated from some unknown source
We believe that medicine possessing real mer-
its will effect cures wherever it is used, at home
as well as abroad. This is 10 pare2oric prepar-
alton, but one which, if used in season, will save
the lives of thousands.

Served him Right.

The North .4meriedn has the following
piquant local a.
A gentleman just arrived from Hagers.
town, yesterday, furnished our reporter
with an Item, going to show the spirit and
temper Of the invading. rebels. When the
rebel horde appeared in front of Hogors.
town, one of its principal citizens undertook
the preservation Of his property. His barn
was full of grain, his pastures were dotted
with sheep and cattle. and forty well fed
swine we're gathered in the rear of his corn
cribs. He was emphatioally man of plcn'
ty and of substance When the rebels came
he walked oct to their lines, with damask
linen napkin affixed to bis cane The first
rebel soldier he encountered, he requested
to show him the commanding officer lie
was passed under guard to tho object of his
search.
General" said be, Il am a warm sym
patblzer with tho South, heartily wish
SUCCESS to this invasion and to your forces,
My object in seeking you out is to ask that
you and as many of your staff as will ac'
cept the invitation, will make my house
'your headquarters during your stay bere
Ny house is yonder upon that BILL" (point-
ing to fine old fashioned mansion, with
modern additions, with o long row of hay
racks on the back ground
"You sympatbize with the South, did you
say Z" queried the General.
"Very earnestly, sir, and always have
done So"
Tbe!rebe general beckoued to sergeant
who stood near him Bring n muskel for
this man" said ho, "and take i'm into the
ranks"
The Sympathizer opened wide his eyes,
but stood mute with horror. He couldn't
see it in that light He stammorcd out at
last, "Oh didn't mean that, General. l
don. want to fight. / was to entertain
you and your staff while you remained here,
and to show you that l am your friend"
The rebel general contomptuously in
formed him that they interpreted sympathy
only in Its literal sense. He had claimed
TO sympathize with them, and they intended
TO avail Themselves of his good will. A
string of wngons was at once trottod on,
driven to the sympathzer's property, md
iu the afternoon he was stripped of every.
thing. The rebels carried off al! his cattle
sheep. hogs and mailer live stock, removed
all his hay and wheat crop, leaving his
barns utterly empty. The cavalry horses
were turned into his growing oats, and bis
corn was cut for fodder for the stock whiIa
on the march. Tho sympathizer WAS do.
tained until all was done, and was then re.
leased with thanks for the sympathy be had
manifested. Many like him in Maryland
are now reaping tho fruits of their sym.
pathy. When men will take the suck
ors out Of their pumps to prevent Union
soldiers from drinking tho water, their sym
pathy with the South deserves somo such
recognition as that given to tho friend of
tho rebel cause above referred to, or who
came to grief at Hagerstown.

Corn IN THE EAR--A very intelligent
lrishman ;ellsthe following story of his
first experience in America:
l came TO this country several wears
ago, and as soon as ] arrived, hired out
TO gentleman who farmed few acres.
lie showed me over the premises, the sta
BILE, cows, and where the corn. hay, oats,
ETC., were kept, and then sent me TO gel
my supper. After supper he said to me:
flames, you may feed the COW, and
give her corn in the ear"
l went Out and walked about, thinking
what he could mean. Had | understood
him? scratched my head. then resolved
| would enquire again: so l weat into the
library where my master was writing very
busily, and he answered without looking
up
81 though! l told you to give the COW
some corn in the ear" .....r
went out more puzzled than ever
What sort of an animal must this Yan
kee COW be? examined her mouth and
ears. The teeth were good, and the ears
were like those of the kind in the old coun
Try. Dripping with sweat, entered my
masters presence once more.
"Please. sir. you bid me give the Gov
some corn in the ear-lbut didn't yo,
mean in the mouth?"
lie looked at me q moment, and the,
burst into such CONFUSION of laughter

could take me. thinking was in the ser
