CTYMER AT HoME-The journal, print

he following sarcastic hit:
The Gazette, while noasting of Clymer' S
opularity at home, is very careful not to
% print the vote received by him in Berks
At former elections, compared with other
candidates on the Democratic ticket
Comparisons are odious, sure enough, so

TREATMENT.

Helmbold's highly concentrated Ex-
tract of Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder kidnevs
gravel dropsical swellings rheum atism, and gou-
ty affections. Under this head we have arrang-
er; Scanty secretion, small and frequent dis
charges of water; Stranguary, or stopping of
water; H@maturia. or bloody urine; Giou and
hhematlsm OF the kidneys, without any change
in quantity, but increase of color or dark water.
1t was always highly recommended by the late
DR.. Physick in these affections.
This medicine increases the power
of digestion, and exctes the absorbents into heal
thy exercise. by which the watery or calcareous
depositons and all unnatural enlargements, as
well as pain and inflammation, re reduced, and is
taken by
Men, W omen& Children.
Directions for use and diet accompany.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 25, 1857.
ID. L. HELMBoLD, Druggist:
Dear SIR Il have been a suffer-
er, for upwards of twenty years, with
gravel, bladder, and kidney affections.
during which time have used various medicinal
preparations, and been under the treatment of
the most eminent physicians experiencing but
little relief.
Having seen your preparations eX-
tensively advertised L consulted with m family
physician in regard to using your Extract Buehu
L did this because 1 used all kinds
of advertised remedies. and had found
them worthless and some quite injurious; in fact
despalred OF ever getting well, and determin-
ed to use no remedies unless L knew of the ingre-
dlents. 1t was this tha prompted me to use your
remedy As You advertised that it was compos-
ed OF BUcHU, oUBEBs, and JUMPER BERRIES, it oc-
Cured to me and my physician an excellent
combination, and, with his advice, after an exam
1nation of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist. L concluded to try it. I commen-
ced Its use about eight m onths ago. at which time
was confined to my room. From the first bot
tie L was astonished and gratifed at the benef-
clal effect, and arter using it three weeks, was
Bile to walk out felt much like writing you
full statement of my at the time. but th ought
my improvement might 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
l am now able to report that 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 whel ever
occasion may require its use in such affec tions

SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF THE MONEY
HIDDEN BY LEWIS, THE RoBBER.-The
Huntingdon Globe has the following sensa-
ton story: Many years ago, as is known
by some of our oldest citizens, robber by
the name of Lewis infested the mountains
in this vicinity, whose object in thieving, as
was alleged, was to take from the rich and
give 10 the poor. Be this as it may, many
victims carrying with them large amounts
Of money, were waylaid by his band, Lew
Is thereby amassing a large sum of the gold
en- treasure. Finally Lewis and a few of his
comrades were captured, and taken to the
jail at Bellefonte, his band CT thieves was
dIsorganized and Lewis expired in jail from
the effects of wound Before his death
he stated that he had buried large sum of
money somewhere near Jack S mountain,
this county. One day last week, we are
told man was seen going in the direction
of Mt. Union, near Mill Creek, having
what appeared to be heavy bundle under
his arm, covered with newspaper. 1t is
supposed the bundle contained the money
which Lewis had secreted. On the road
near Mil Greek, large stone might have
been seen, beneath which it is supposed the
treasure was buried, and there is where the
man got it. Two men were seen at the
stone, 4 short time previous, who were try
Ing 10 remove it. How it was discovered,
Is not positively known, but it is surmised
that the same individual who was seen car
rying the bundle has the features of man
who, about thirty years ago, lived on the
premises, but who left shortly after the
Nurder of peddar near the place This
= strange development, but IRON all the
evidence we are disposed to believe that the
men have found considerable amount of
money under the stone. Nothing has been
told us concerning the lucky man, since he
was seen trudging along with his heavy
budget -
