Soldiers Orphans.

The State Of Pennsylvania has done no.
bly, for the Union, and the same disposition
incllnes her toldo honorably by the soldiers
OF the Union and their families Among
those whose fathers have fallen on the
bloody field; or pined away to death in hos.
pltais or the prisons of the enemy. A leg
lslatlve appropriation has been made for
two years past, for the education and sup
port OF such orphans, at the expense of the
State. They have, to the number of l, 800.
been receiving the benefit of this arrange
ment in day and boarding schools, in differ
ent parts of the Commonwealth. The ex-
pendlture for the past year has been little
over 800, 600. The report of the Superin-
tendent of Soldiers Orphans, Hon. Thomas
II. Burrowes, represents the condition of
the children to be favorable and promising.
The average expense, embracing board
clothing and schooling, is $130 for each
scholar.
The charity is of course temporary one
as the children will in few years have ar
rived at an age for entering on some en-
ployment for life. But while the necessity
continues, we have no doubt the patriotic
spirit OF the people Of Pennsylvania, will
see that the needfull appropriation is annu-
ally made for defraying the expenses of the
work. The pledge, as Governor Curtin
says, with the earnestness that marks all his
utterances on this and kindred subjects. has
been gwen to the brave men who periled
their lives for the country, and like him.
we cannot for an instant suppose the Legis-
lature will hesitate to continue the apnro-
priation which is to bless these children with
the means Of support and education, during
their helpless age

TREATMENT.

Helmbold's highly concentrated En-
tract of-Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys
gravel, dropsieal swellings, rheumatism, and gou-
ty affections Under this head we have arrang-
ed Dysura, OF. difficulty and pain in passing wat
er; Scanty secretion small and frequent dis
charges of water; Stranguary, or stopping of
water; Hamaturia. or bloody urine Gou and
Rhematism of the kidneys, without any change
in quantity, but increase of color or dark water.
1t was always highly recommended BY the late
DIR Physick in these affections.
This medicine increases the power
of digestion, and excics the absorbents into heal
thy exercise, by which the watery or calcareous
dispositions and all unnatural enlargements as
well as pain and ina ..natioh, re reduced. and Is
taken by
Men, W omen& Children,
