VIRGINIA, daughter Of Mr.. Emanuel 0'Heal,
aged years, ] month, and 20 days.
Near Schellsburg Jan. 7th, Miss MARY L.
ALLISON, daughter Of the late James Allison,
Esq Her disease was typhoid fever
For number of years she had been teacher
in the public schools Of this and Somerset county
Wherever she taught she won the love and conf
dence Of her patrons, For year or so she was
employed as Operator BY the U s. Telegraph Co.,
which position she filled with credit 70 herself
and satisfaction to her employers. Finding her
nervous system greatly impaired, she yielded to
the eurcaties Of friends and returned to her home
and shortly after resumed her former occupation
that Of teaching. She loved the society of chill
dren. and ever strove to inouleate principles Of
virtue and morality in their young minds.
Disease attacked her in the school room in the
midst Of her duties; she was taken home and all
that love and friends could accomplish was done
but ali in vain. Death to her presented no terrers
her implicit faith and confidence robbed him Of
his sting. She spoke calmly Of her approaching
end, aud made some arrangements regarding her
faneraI, disposed of some sourerHirs stc9 and sent
messages 70 absent friends.
In her death widowed mother has lost an af-
fcctionato daughter, three brothers and one sister
a loving aud self-saerideing sister.

The Great A eelimating IONIC.

Wherever Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the cell
ebrated American prevention Of Climatic Disea-
see, have been introduced into unB ealthy regions
their effects in sustaining the health, ygor and
animal spirits Of those whose pursuits subjected
them to extraordinary risks from exposure and
Privation, have been wonderful. In the Army
the superiority Of this article over every other
invigoratiug and alternative medicine has become
so manifest where used that it is relied upon, ex
c.ulively, as a protection against Bilious Fever
Fever and Aguc, and Bowel complaints Of every
kind The soldiers say 1t Is the only ftimulsnt
which produces and keeps up healthy habit Of
body in unwholesome locations. For the unac-
climated pioneer and settler it is the most relia
bic Of all safeguards against sickness. Through
out the United States il is considered the most
hcalthful and agreeable Of all tonics, and alto
gethcr uneuualel as a remedy for Dyspepsia. The
medicinal ingredients are all vegetable, and are
held in solution b. the most wholesome stimu-
laBt known-the Essence Of Rye. "Hostetters

Consumption Curable by Dr. schenck's
Medicines.
To cure consumption, the system must be pre-
pared so that the lungs will heal. To accomplish
this, the stomach and liver must first be eleansed
and an appetite created for good wholesome food,
which by there m edioines viii be eigested prop
erly, and good healthy blood made; thus build
ing up the constitution. Sehenck's Mandrake
Bills cleanse the stomach Of all bilious or mucous
accamulationsi and by using the Sea Weed Tonic
in connection, The sppetite is restored.
Sehencks PuImoaic Syrup IS nutritious as well
as medicinal, and BY using the three remedies all
Impurities are expelled from the system, and good
wholesome blood made, which viii repeI all dis
ease. Ifratieuts viii take these medicines ac-
cording TO directions, Consumption very frequent
by in It's last stage yields readily to their action
Take the pills frequently TO cleanse the liver and
stomach. II does not follow that because the
bowels not cos,iye they are not required, for
sometimes in diarrhna they are necessary. The
stoma ch must be kept healthy, and appetite

THE SEg NovnIsT.-The New York Com
mercial 4drsrttser thus refers to an import
ant and interesting literary event:
IN this century of magazines, new authors
are more and more likely to make their first
bow to the public in periodical than in
book. If the new writer's "serial' has at
tracted attention It Is re-issued az book, and
if the writer should then prefer, he or she can
afterwards easily find a publisher without the
''serial' preliminary. Sometimes this FIRST
appearance is by several short productions Ia
stead Of one long one. Hsnry Ward Beech
er, for instance, is at present vigorously at
work upon his first book. 1t is true that sew
eral volumes have been issued with his name
upon their title pages but all these have
been compilations OF paragraphs, newspaper
articles, sermons OF lectures. Hawthorne,
again, wrote many short magazine stories and
sketches before yeuturing upon story Of
book size.
Mrs. Rebecea Harding Davis, whose novel
WAITING for the Verdict, p begins in The Gal
ary, for February 18th, has already made
these introductory experiments. He power
tul and yigidly realistic stories Of Life in the
Iron Mills, and ..Margret Howth, IA The
AHaatjc, attracted great deal Of attention.
Iudeed, those two papers alone placed her at
once high among our writers Of real-life ro-
nance,
A real new novel IS a literary epoch. We
earnestly hope Waiting for the Verdict.
wiLl be such an one. The first few chapters
which we have seen in advance OF publication
show plainly that the writer is devotiug to
this book the best Of her thought, her known
edge Of life, and her beliefs about humanity.
l. moreover the first novel By an author of
real power, in which The war or is principles
become constituent forces Unless the sue
ceeding portions Of the work fll below its
beginning, 1t viii apparently typify the new
re.atioHs and conditions of tha races Of men
Ia the United States during and since the Re
0eilion. With as much force, breadth intensi-
y and truth, as Uncle Toms Cabin gave
70 the picture of things as they we're before
the war indeed if the story fuIflIs its prom
ise, The Gala.ey VIII deserve lortnighlly y thanks
for some time 70 come from the reading peo-
PIE Of the country.
Mrs. Davis is at present residing in Phila-
delphia' bat Is, we beleve,a native Of Wheel
ing. Her career in print has not been very
long, but there IS good reason fer believing
that she viii hold high rant among the re-
aarkable array Of powerful female writer's Of
English romance Of the present age.
