If not, you should call without delay
If you are sick, they keep that which if
taken in proper quantities, will make you
whole. If you are well, then it is the
place to procure that which will strength

ness or hunger, delays are dangerous, and
you should call with the Doctors at once;
they will accommodate you in such a gen

cd, and can never pass the door, opposite
to Cbas. Duffy's Store, without calling in

Can Mr.. LINCOLN send foreign minister

johnson OH the Powers of the
Senate.

In commenting on the Senate Amend.
ment. defining the appointing power Of
the President, the Times says
Party feeling, in its most excited hour,
never went so far. 1t did
not occur to Clay, Webster, Ewing, Man
gum, and other eminent statesmen, that
the Executive could be ignored, or that
Congress could usurp the authority of the
President.
And again:
Discreditable and impolltic as the pro-
cceding of the Senate is, as between it.
self and President johnson, it is yet
worse, when considered as q new infu-
ence in the administration of public af-
fairs. 1t is simply and solely
to annoy the President, to subject his ac.
tion to vexatious restraints, to prove the
power of Congress to harass and cripple
him, to deprive him of authority vested
in him by the Constitution, and with the
lawful exercise of which no former Con-
gress has attempted similarly to Interfere.
The World says:
Bat whatever may be the degree of
participation to which the Senate may be
entitled, nothing could be more evidently
absurd than the fretension of Congress
Consisting of the two Houses) to hold
the appointing power of the President in
check, as is proposed by the bill now pen
ding.
What bllssful ignorance of the past
In the United States Senate, Decem-
Der 10Th, 1860, Andrew johnson, Sena-
tor from the State of Tennessee, said:
l believe we have the power in our own
hands, and l am not willing to shrink
from the responsibility of exercising that
power. l am for abiding by
the Constitution and in abiding by it 1
want to maintain and retain my place
here and put down Mr.. Lincoln and driv,
back his advances upon Southern institu-
tions, if he designs to make any. Have
we not got the brakes in our hands p
Have we not got the power? We have.
Let South Carolina send her Senators
back; Let all the Senators come; and on
the 4th of March next We shall have a
majority of six in this body against him.
This sectional candidate, who is in min
ority of million, or nearly so, on the
popular vote, cannot make his Cabinet on
the 4th of March next unless this Senate
will permit him. Am | to be so great
coward as to retreat from duty i? will

and advances. Here is the place to stand.

emy come and take possession !? No.

------~-~--~---
For the CIrizES,
Mr.. EDIToRs We live in an age of
progress and improvement, as can be seen
by the incidents and co-incidents of the
past FIVE years. In 1860 the peace and
prosperity of our nation was broken by
the rebelling of few of the States in the
South the same year our Northern States
began to be developed the barren hills
of Pennsylvania, on account of their rich
minerals were worth thousands, and cap
italists we're making large investments.
Substitutes were bought and hurried to
the front, that our country might still be
a peaceable and prosperous country; and
as none but sound men could fill such po-
sitions; many fair lady was deprived of
her lover, and it may be said, for four
long years "our maids no marriage had."
BY and by the dark cloud passed away
and kind Heaven smiled upon us victory;
the soldier, but n day ago in blue, had
become citizen with light step and
merry heart he turned his face home
ward, there to be met and greeted by kind
friends, a loving wife or faithful sweet
heart These are facts that cannot be
applied to one town or township more
than another, yet Betsey Jean, of Pc
tcrsville,' thinks no place has withstood
the calamity Of "matrimony," they have
had for the last nine months.
There is a small place called Butler, on
this same creek with "netersville," that
started out on the same prospecting
scheme, and at this writing it is impossi-
BILE to enumerate the success that attend.
ed the efforts of these gallant wooers, not
one has turned back faint hearted, but
Kidding themselves of every burden, kept
on with "good hope" to the Sea of Mat
rimony. The disease has become conta-
gious, and the only way We know when
the epidemic has taken hold on one of the
community, is to see the boys with horns'
bells and TN. pans, heading for some part
of the town. TO guard against this old
boyish custom Cor some other reason) we
have nocturnal or secret marriages. Di-
vines have been called from their peace
full couches and conducted by "Fickle
Mind" to the house of ''Faithful" there to
tic the knot already bcdued. Others of
our town have fully tho same courage and
many of the young men, fearing that these
"nocturnals" have been INDUCED in to
some extent, have left the town and bro't
from afdr, those that were not acquaint-
ed with the ''mod. operand,," while 9TH
ers, under durcss of life, from an un-
known husband have retired behind the
wall of separation" Such is the fear
full calamity the war has brought upon u.s.
Reconstruction, colonization, enfranchis-
ing rebels Is nothing in comparison to

Social Life of Our Young Men.

New York is the Mecca of American
youth Our country lads outstrip those
Of older lands in ambition and enterprise,
aud more early set their faces toward the
great marts where success can be most
largely gained, if gained at all. They
come, fresh from the dewy influences of
home, to stake their youth, faith and pu-
rity against wealth, fame, or power. We
have always deprecated this rush to the
city-where so many seem to be called
and so few chosen. Half these aspirants
would be doing better for the country and
themselves tiling the farms on which
they were born, or reclaiming their pro-
portions of our Western domain.
But come they WILL in constantly in
creasing numbers; and we have to accept
the fact. and to lend them helping hand
in their trial years of loneliness and temp
tation.
The young men now overcrowding this
metropolis are, in the future, to sustain
or surrender the formost position she now
commands Let our mercantile and So
cial leaders consider whether, in their in
difference to the welfare of this class, they
are not sowing the wind for whlrlwind
of profigacy and dishonor. Ifthis be so,
their sin of omission transcends host of
minor, positive offenses.
We are impressed with the statistics
of this subject BY the census of 1860,
our male population, between the ages of
Is and 80, amounted to ILL., ,091. Esti-
mating its increase during and since the
war, there are now among us at least l50,-
600 young men-an active portion of the
laborious, excitable life OF this great un-
mindful city Two-thirds are without
resident friends or kindred, striving to
conquer foothold-and how hard the
contest What daily widening gaps be-
tween those who have succeeded and those
just entering the field Neither the re-
ligion nor the social enjoyment of our
prosperous men seems broad enough to
include their employees. Look at the
growth of aristocracy and exclusiveness
the whirl of folly, luxury and fashion; the
enormous cost of subsistence; the meager
salaries in vogue; and sec what chance of
comfort or sympathetic case the town has
to proffer her 0,000 clerks, apprentices
and students Herded together in the
beds and attics of boarding-houses, shut
out from the happy homes established by
long residence and success, they are al
most driven to the public saloon for light
and warmth, and for that friendly CON-
panionship which, either for coed or evil,
youth instinctiyely Graves and will obtain.
The employers are surrounded with all
the appurtenances which make virtue at
tractive and easy to pursue. The en-
ployees are not only urged into vice by
their diseomforts, but it is Vice alone who
tenders them an alluring hospitality. She
sets forth her 7 1856 convenient bar-rooms,
her 653 billiard tables, her 100 gambling
hells, her 235 concert saloons, and 730 |

A New and Grand Epoch in Medicinel

DR. MAadIEL is the founder of new
Medical System The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach aud paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with box or SO of his
wonderful and all-healing Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
supcrseding all the stercotyped nostrums
of the day. Extraordinary cures by
Maggiel's Pills and Salvc have opened
the eyes Of the public to the inefIiciency
of the $50 called) remedies of others, and
upon which people have so long blindly
depended. Maggiers Pills are not of she
class that swallowed by the dozen, and.
of which every box full taken creates an
absolute necessity for another. One or
two of Maggiel's Pills sufices to- place the
bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
creates an appetite, anu reader the spirits
light and buoyant There is no gripping,
and no reaction in the form of constipa-
ton. If the liver is affected its func-
tions are restored; and if the nervous
system is feeble, it is invigorated. This
last quality makes the medicines very
desirable for the wants Of delicate fc-
males. Ulccrous and eruptive diseases
are literally cxtiuguished by the olsen
fectant powOr OF Maggiels Salve. In
fact, it is here announced that MAGGIEL' s
BILIOUS, DYspEPTIc AND DIARRHEA
Pills cure where all others fail While
for Burns, Scalds, Chiblains, Cuts and
all abrasions of the skin, MAGGIEL's,
SALvB is infalliable. Sold by J. MAG,

Changed Hands.

We notice by the Pittsbarg Dispatch,
of the 18th instant, that change has ta-
ken place in the proprietorship of the
Pittsburgh Gazette; and we feel gratifod
to know that N. p Reed, of our Borough,
is one of the firm. He is a young man
of strict sobriety, and sterling integrity.
As a business man he is prompt and en-
ergetic. During the period OF the nine
months service he acted as deputy Reg
lister and Recorder of this county for
Maj. G. i. Anderson, while he was in
the service, and at the same time dis
charged the duties of County Treasurer,
giving general satisfaction in both of these
trusty and honorable positions. We are
not personally acquainted with Messrs.
Penniman and Houston, the other men,
bers of the firm, but we feel free in say
ing, if they have such application, ener-
gy and integrity as Mr.. Reed possesses,
the Gazette will have lost nothing by the
change that has taken place, and will con-
tinue to be welcome visitor to its nu-
morous readers. We wish our young
friend abundant success in his new un-
dertaking In commendation of Mr. Reed,
the following article from the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, needs no comment
"Thc Gazete of yesterday announces
change of proprietors, Messrs. Penni-
man, Reed Il Co, having purchased the
concern from the Gazette Association, by
whom it has been published since 1864.
Mr. Penniman has filed the editorial
chair in the Gazette Office for several
months, and is not only gentleman of
large experience in newspaper matters,
but forcible and ready writer. Mr..
Reed has also consi derable experience in
the business, and is in all respects amost
estimable aud deserving gentleman. Du.
ring the fifteen months he was connected
with this Office, our relations with him
were of the most pleasant and agreeable
character, and it gives us sincere pleas
ure tc be able 10 bear testimony to his en-
ergy and activity, and the disintcrested
zeal in which he labored in our behalf.
The remaining partner, Mr.. Houston, is
equally deserving of commendation. He
entered the Office of the Dispatch as re-
porter about ten months ago, and beitg
we'll educated, and having taste for the
business, his success was at once marked
and raDid. There are few more industri-
Gus, painstaking or deserving young men
than Mr.. Houston, and, having taken
deep interest in him from his boyhood, it
affords us sincere qualification to see him
enter on field in, which, if perseverance
and application be worth anything, he
ought to be able to command success. We
part with Messrs. Reed and Houston with
regret They served us faithfully, and
we are sure we need hardly state that We
wish them, in their new undertaking, the
most unqualified success. We ought to
state, perhaps, that the politics of the Ga
zette will remain unchanged, or in other
words, it will continue to support the pol
icy of Congress as opposed to that Of the
President.
