ASUBsTANTIAL OFFERING. We yes
terday received "for the benefit OF the
poor" several bushels of fine potatoes,
which were sent to our office by Mr..
Alexander Bell, being a sample ola cargo
Just landed at his wharf. They are the
finestspecimens of the Mechanic that we
have ever seen, and if their flavor when
properly boiledisi in keeping with their
looks, they must satisfy the taste of the
most ~fastidious. The Mechanic, or Mer-
Ger county potato, was first grown on
Mechanic Creek, in Mercer County, Pa,
some fifty years ago, and from its meeli-
ness and fine flavor soon became a uni
versal favorite. 1t is known far and
near for its superiorqualities and is dis
tinguished by its slenderness and dark
blue or purple veins that run through II.
We have distributed Mr.. Bells gift
among the widows and orphans ofour
most needy friends, who, will, nodoubt,
make good use of the excellent escu-
Tents.

Take Time by the Forelock.

The miasma which generates epidemic fsvers
is now rising in clouds under the blazing beams
of the dog day sun. Every living body, as wen
as refuse animal and vegetable matter, emits
unwholesome vapors, and in crowded cities and
the dense sssemblages which business and pleas
ure call together the elements of disease are
evolved. The pressure upon every vital organ
is never SO great as in the second and third
months of SIMMER, and common sense teaches
us that these organs require to be reinforced to
meet it. III
We hold our lives, 30 to speak, on repairing
lease, and this is the season when the process Of
dilapidation is most rapid and repairs are most
required. Therefore build up, prop and sustain
the po,rers of nature with that mighty vegetable
recuperant, HosTErTER'S BITTERs. He who
takes it may be said to clothe himself in sanitary
mail, against which epidemic viii hurl Its
poisoned shafts in vain. This Is no gratuitous
assertion, but great medical fact attested by
twelve years experience in every climate OF the
habitable globe. Extremes of temperature
always disturb the functions of the stomach,
the bowels, the liver and the skin. 1t is through
these that the most dangerous maladies assail
us. Tone them in advance with HoSTETTERs
BITTERS, and defy heat and malaria.

An incidental Fact
From the Richmond Dispatch.I

"Humbup," said q gentleman to
friend wben he picked up one OF DR..
Hughes circulars setting forth the VIZ
tines of HIS celebrated homeopathic rem
edies.
ed his friend.
Because it is, answered the other.
"But how do you know 1t is !!
Because they say it is: = g--.,
"But don't you know that is no reason
at all9 What they say is not Always
reliable. Homeopathy has become
fixed fact. It numbers among It's prac-
titioners the first medical minds OF the
world. 1t has proven itself successful In
all the most virulent diseases and fright
full epidemics that scourge the world.
And / see from the papers that the Com
mon Council of New York city has re-
solved to put half of the hospitals into
the hands of the homeopathic physi-
clans in the event of cholera visiting
that city. Thousands have called IL
humbug, as you have just done; and
Afterwards, on trying the treatment,
have become its best friends: NOW, my
dear friend, 60 and try DR.; Hughes rem,
edies, and you will find they Will DO all
he claims for them" :,
His friend replied he certainly would
do so, and would take back all he said,
and went straightway and procured the
| remedies, and that very night one OF bis
children had the Group, and he immedl:
ately used the medicine as directed, and
| it acted like charm.
ANOTHER INCIDENT. The other day,
at the Disciples Sunday School picnic
up the canal, one of the girls was SUD
denly attacked with vomiting and purg-
| ing. Various remedies were resorted to
without any effect, when application
was made to Mrs. Hopson, wife OF Rev
DR.. Hopson, who had in her possession q
bottle of DR.. Hughes sure relief and
reliable cure for cholera, diarrhGa, chol
era morbis, &c, and but two doses were
administered, when the patient was al
once relieved, and sunk into a sweet
sleep. Comment is unnecessary.
STILL ANoTHER.-A lady in a drug
store few days ago observed, II dc
wonder if DR.. Hughes cholera medicine
is good for anything" A lady friend
to whom she made the remark, advised
her to procure bottle and try it, as she
knew that there was the greatet virtue
in it. She done 80, and that night had
reason to greatly rejoice for doing so, as
a member of her family was taken Sc
verely i'll with bowel affection, and she
at once had resource to DR.. Hughes
medicine, with immediate relief.
And so on could the instances be null
tiplied, but the above are sufficient tc
direct proper attention.
