I'll. L. HELMBoLD, Druggist:


Dear Sir i have been suffer-
er, for upwards of twenty years, with
gravel, bladder, and kidney affections,
during which sine / have used various medicinal
preparations. and been under the treatment of
the most eminent physicians, experiencing but
little relief.
Having seen your preparations ex-
physician in regardV using your Extract BuchG.
| did this because / used all kinds
of advertised remedies, and had found
them worthless and some quite injurious; in fact
L despaired of ever getting well, and determin-
ed to use no remedies unless knew of the ingre-
dents 1t was this that prompted me to use yoHr
remedy As you advertised that it WIS compos-
ed of BUCHU, CUBEBS. and JUMPER BERRIES it oc-
CURED to ne and my physician as an excellent
combination and, with his advice. after exam
inaton of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist l concluded to try it. / commen
ced its use about eight months ago, at which time
| was confnedt to my room. From the first bot
tie L astonished and gratifed at the benef-
cial effect, and arter using it three weeks,
bic to walk out l felt much like writing you
full statement of my at the time. but tn ought
my improvement migh only be temporary and
therefore concluded to defer and see if it would
effect perfect cure, knowing then it would be of
greater value TO you end more satisfactory to me
am now able to report that a cure
is effected after using the remedy for
five months.
| have not used any now for three
months, and feel as well in all respects
as [ ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor nice tonic and invgorator of the
system. do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections:

IN conformity with a recommendation of
President johnson late Message, ito ia
eilitate postal, commercial and military COM
munication between the States" This bill
proyldes-in substantial accordance with
MIR. Sumner s at the last Session-that eve
railroad company shall henceforth be author
ized to transport mails, passengers ard
freight between any two States of our Union,
any attempt of a State to create or perpetu
ate monopoly of such transportation to the
contrary notwithstanding. We have but a
FAINT hope that this bill will pass the Senate.
she Camden and Amboy Company alone can
afford to pay Quarter of Million Dollars
to defeat it; and We consider that sum am
ply sufficient. Still. every passage of such
bill through the House tends to enlighten
the public with regard to the injustice and
evils OF Railroad Monopoly, and to increase
the difficulty and peril of buying another
renewal of it from ever so venal and reck
Less legislature. We trust, therefore. that

About ADVERTISING.

We don't know who wrote the following
item about advertising; whoever did it
was very sensible. The merchants and
other business men here and elsewhere,
who advertise, are the ones who make the
money. We commend the following to
all, of whatever business or profession,
who do not advertise:
You see goods are like gals-they must
&c when they are in fashion and good
looking, or else yoke of oxen wouldn't
draw them off afterward. The man that
cause he don't make one stock last a life
time. / know merchant of this district
who has imported three different patches
of goods, within year. from Europe, and
now he's nearly sold out again. How
does he and his partner get rid Of so ma
ny goods2 They advertise more than all
the rest put together-that's how! will
prove it. If you want to borrow money
IF you want to lend money-if you want
farm to rent-if you have one to sell
advertise. If your horse, COW. pig, colt,
sheep or oxen go astray, advertise them
right off, and not run chance of losing
them altogether, or having to pay as much
as they are worth in charge for keep
If you are shoemaker, tailor. black
smith, WAGNER, or any kind Of useful me-
chanic, show people that you are not
ashamed of being mechanic, by adver-
tising. If you keep a hotel, make II
known. When people see man adver-
tise, they know he is a business man.
Some want to sell, some want to buy; and
the only way to meet these wants and
make money,is to advertise. Advertising
is like money-if followed up. Merchants
think nothing of paying forty dollars fol
one sign, with nothing but their name or
it. Well, what do you think of having
5000 signs week in newspaper? In
it you show your whole establishment tc
the country every week.
If yeu are wise,
just rub your eyes,
And go to work and advertise.
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1865-06-21
The Prospects.

The prospects of the Democracy are
looming up. The future of our country
is Frightening. As the excitement caused
by the war abates, and the fear of con-
scription and heavier taxation is removed,
the people begin to reflect. They cannot
but see that the troubles through which
we have passed are but the effects of trust
ing the reins of power in the hands of
puritan Abolitionists; and who can doubt
the result when such conclusion isreaeh-
ed? A cotemporary has we'll said that
''the end of the war is the beginning of
Democratic ascendancy." Everything
verifes the truth of this assertion. Not
an election that has passed for months,
city, borough or township, but shows a
largely increased Democratic vote, with a
corresponding decrease of Abolitionism;
and this change will continues must
continue until Abolitienism is wiped ou:
of the Keystone State. We do not know
when the prospects of tho Democracy
were brighter than they are to-day; when
there vas more encouragement for those
that cling to the faith of their fathers, to
go to work, with the certainty of success
to cheer them on. Surely, then. when the
"current of events" runs so strongly in
eur favor, who believe in the doctrines of
Jefferson, of Jackson, and Monroe-who
believe that the hopes of the country are
based upon the triumph of Democratic
principles, will not fail to do our duty
Let us to work, then--an hours labor
now is worth weeks effort on the verge
of an election.-BelLefonte Watchman.

A Riot In washington.


Last Saturday, between one hundred
and fifty and two hundred soldiers made
a series of assaults on many unoffending
persons of the Seventh Ward. They Wis
tied the disreputable houses and the tip
-pling shops, occupied by both colored
and white persons, ,indiscriminately attack
ing the inmates, driving them away, break
ing up their furniture, helping themselves
to liquors and edibles, and committing
various other outrages. The rioters
showed particular animosity against col,
ored persons, who were severely beaten
and robbed. The negroes rallied for re-
sistance and to protect themselves, when
fight occurred, the soldiers using revol-
vers, ,as did also their antagonists. Among
the casualties, DIR. VIM. Boyd, who went
out with revolver in hand to restore
quiet, was struck in the face with brick
thrown by a soldier. His cheeks were
split open and jawbones terribly fractured,
and the sight of one eye destroyed. Some
others of the soldiers then made rush for
him, and one of them was in the act of
clsaving his head open with an axe, when
number of women succeeded in persuad-
ing the soldiers to spare his life. To
night, a strong military force has been
sent to the locality, and the police are
also out in full numbers, to quell another
anticipated outbreak and threatened acts
of fincendiaris sms-Register June 18th.
