physcian.
refIe had long seen and felt the want Of some
medy which would strike at the root Of dis
ease aud 90 prevent much Of The suffering
which the human family was then compelled 10
endure.
The great question was presented to his mind
every day Ia vivid colors as he moved among
the sick and diving, and observed the ineiicen-
cy Of nearly all the remedies then In use. Thus
he was lead to think and experiment and after
ten years Of study and labor. be presented to
his fellow man the wonderful Iingari Bitters

tonishiug, that the most catering marks of

lous force to cholera, and therefore any remedy

MR. ED1roR:-Holidaysburg is situated in beautiful valley, among the mountains, on tho Juniata river. Standing on Semi nary Hill in rear of the elegant Court House, a limited but lovely view is present. ed to the beholder. We'll cultivated fields and farms nestled under the hill slopes; the high peaks of the Alleghanies and long valleys between, lie to the West; to the East, Canoe Mountain commences abrupt ly likc East Rock at New Haven ,and then the range gradually dies away while to the South, the |" Chimnies' almost hang over the town. These are singular columns of rock nearly Q hundred and fifty feet high, and about thirty ill diameter, and so smooth that is is almost impossible to climb them, while tho numerous rattlesnakeS about them render tho contemplation of them more agreeable at distance: The Juniata, winding along, amid the farms and forests, completes this magnificent natural scenery, which the ruthless hand of man has not injured by his towns and villages, and smoky furnaces.
 On Seminary Hill is being built a hand some school building of stone. Tho blocks are quarried from the cellar and adjoining grounds, and are 8 blue magnetism lime stone, of the Lower Silurian formation. The quarry presents rare formations of fos- siliferous iron ores, imestones and slates. Many of the shells are very perfect, and obtained many fine specimens of the Silu- rian period. But I must reluctantly leave this lovely town, and take you by good road seven miles northward to Altoona, a town scarcely ten years old, but number ing about ten thousand inhabitants. Like all new towns it is rough and rude. Ad- joining large, fine-looking brick blocks are found shanties, each with it's COW and pig yard. Plenty of business, however. The Penn Central R. R. Shops are all here, fur nishing employment to nearly thousand men. They occupy, suppose, eight acres of ground, anl more are to be built next year. Here is the general centre of all trains. One of the largest hotels in the State opens it capacious dining-rooms to feed the hungry passengers. Men stand ready to give each car-wheel blow, to test It's soundness; others with wrenchs tighten every bolt; others come with big oil cans fresh engine relieves the tired one :; and as trains are arriving and departing con- stantly, you may rest assured that it is a lively place. The hotel accommodations arc the the best and poorest in the world. At the Logan House you live in New York style; at the other hotels(in Hardscrabble

The Norwich Bulletin is unusually spicy lately. Speaking of Sanford Conover, it says: He must have been born at a lying in hospital.
 In reference to the indiscriminate con- ferring of College degrees, we find: "It cannot be denied that there Is something wrong in the way this business is done. We speak with feeling on the subject. Col leges do not confer degrees according to merit. The writer hereof tried to get a B. A. from Yale College, and got only a B.

 This in reference to fossils: ''Thc Na- tional Academy of Science is in session at Hartford, and the scientists are having a real jolly time over the selachians and equi- noxes, mastodons, and fossil elephants, and other critters. They are trying now to discover the geological relations between tho mastodon and fossil elephant While they are on the subject of fossil elephants, we suggest that they make inquiry how Hartford happened to furnish two Secreta- ries of the Navy in succession. And such Sccretaries!'
