DaS~ a YOUNG LADY returning to her
country home, after sojourn of few months
in the City, was hardly recognized by her
friends. In place of a coarse, rustic, flushed
face, she had n soft ruby complexion of al
most marble smoothness, and instead of twen-
three she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great a
change, she plainly told them that she used
the CIRcAssIAN BALM, and considered it an
invalu liable acquisition TO any Lady's toilet.
BY its use any Lady or Gentleman can i'm
prove their personal appearance an hundred
fold. 1t is simple in its combination, as Ma
ture herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in
its efficiency in drawing impurities from, al
so healing, cleansing and beautifying the
skin and complexion. BY its direct action
on the cutcle 1t draws from it all its impur-
ilies, kindly healing the same, and leaving
the service as Nature intended it should be,
clear, soft, smooth and beautiful. Price 81,

found notice of Jay Cooke & Co., Drex.

lation to the new Pennsylvania State six
per cent. loan, majority of which was
subscribed by these parties. The loan is
for twenty-three millions of dollars, and
is entirely free from all State, county and
other local taxation
The debt of Pennsylvania does not ex-
ceed this twenty-three millions of dollars
when the assets applicable to the sinking
fund are deducted from the total indebt
edness, and this is being paid off annual
ly at the rate of one or one and half
millions. 1t is calculated that in less than
seventeen years, at the present rate of ii
quidation, We shall bo entirely free from
State debt
What security can be better than this?
Our noble Commonwealth is probably the
richest, as it is the keystone of the arch
of the Union, and this debt is but tri-
fling amount compared to the immense re
sources Of our people. When it is remem
bered that within the borders of the State
there are over s500,000,000 invested in
railroads and government bonds alone, and
many hundred million5 more in manufac-
lures, coal and iron mines, &c, &c, and
that the Legislature has supreme control
over all these sources of taxation (except.
ing government bouds), no one can fail
to agree with us that our State loan is the
safest of all investments.
1t is calculated that at the present rate Of
daily sales, not dollar of this loan will
remain 10 sixty or ninety days Parties
holding the past due loan can, if prompt

GaS~ A heavy thunder shower passed
over this section of country, on Monday
last. In some sections hail fell in large
quantities.
In some portions of our county the
storm ragged furiously At Bossardsville
the wind rose high and threatening, but
no especial damage was done. At Kun
kletown, in Hamilton township, it
amounted almost to a tornado; and whole
pannels of fence were twisted into con
fused shapes and blown down. At Hen
ryville the clatter of the hail was terrific,
but we heard of no damage being done
In Middle Smithfeld haistones fell,
which are declared to have been nearly
as large as goose eggs: one of them, pick
ed up by daughter of DIR. Bush, meas
ured six inches around. Several horses
attached to wagons were scared into a
run away, making work for wagon ma
kers. The Milford stage was caught in the
storm, and, strange to relate, the horses
got up very respectable gait under the
terrors Of the scare. Quite a number of
slate roofs were damaged, and much win
dow glass was destroyed by the force of the
hail. \ portion Of Smithfeld township
was also visited by the hail part of the
storm, which few furiously in Shawnee
and its neishborhood. A friend informs
US that he has seen more hail on the
ground, but never, in lifetime of many
years, saw such large hailstones as fell
on Monday last The stones were of an
oblOng, oval shape, fattened and indented
on one side, and, upon being broken open
were found to be quite snow-like on the in
side. In one portion of our borough
there was q slight sprinkle of hail but
rain, with thunder and lightning and
wind accompaniment, principally mark ed
the passage of the storm here.

firms their very superior excellence. At

one, who, by cntanglement in the shaft of
machinery, had both his legs broken, spine
severely injured, and was for nearly year
entirely helpless. This man found relief
very soon by the application of plaster to
his spine. He was soon enabled 10 work,
and now he labors as well as ever. He
would cheerful!y pay So for single Plaster
if they could not be had at lower rate.
am surprised that surgeons do not make use
of these perforated plas,ers to the exclusion
of all Others as their fexiblity and adhesive
ness are greatly in advance OF all other plas-
ters with which / am acquainted; while the
perforations peculiar TO them rendered them
greatly superior to all others for ordinary
surgical uses. Knowing the plasters to be
so useful, | have no scruples that my senti-
ments should be known.

n@- Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,.
having satisfied himself, by experiment,
that public discussion at the South, from
republican standpoint, is practicable,
now that he is freed from his Senatorial
cares, has resumed the work He has al
ready spoken to, and was respectfully
heard by, large audiences, comprised Of
all classes and colors, at several places in
Virginia, including the city of Richmond,
and proposes making the tour of all the
States lately in Rebellion, and speaking at
one or two prominent points in each. He
will, doubtless, be followed by other Re-
publicaus of prominence, and thus will
have been began work which cannol
but produce the most beneficial results.
Mentally blind folded by the Copper
head press North, and the fre-eatins press
South, the Southern people had no op-
portunity to learn and understand the
sentiment of the loyal North in regard to
reconstruction. Every measure looking
towards the bringing of order out of the
chaos produced by the war-towards the
supplanting of strife with peace-towards
the planting of the seeds of prosperity on
the ground where only the weeds of stag
nation had grown during the five years
of war, was tortured, twisted and screwed
to mean any thing but the good which
it was honestly intended to accomplish,
and which, as the final result will show
it certainly will accomplish. And there
was no remedy for the evil. Presses of
the opposite party were not, because of
prejudice, patronized in the South; and
Republican Orators were looked upon
only as SO many targets for rotten eggs,
or the murderous bullet, sped on in its
mission of death by the finger of some
unreelaimed rebel. But, thanks to the
wisdom of Congress, way is now opened
BY the military reconstruction law, in
which the truth may flow into the
Southern heart; and that truth once
firmly established there, as it will certain
ly and speedily be by means of sound
Republican argument, the day will soon
come In which feeling of fraterna
brotherhood will so unite the Northern
with the Southern heart, as that the re.
moval Of disabilities will be demanded
and granted, and the whole land and peo.
pie become Union SO firm as to be be-
yond the possibility of disruption
{. To Senator Wilson belongs the honor
of inaugurating the work which is sure
to accomplish this most desirable end
an end for which Southern chiefs in the
rebellion are praying as iervently as are
Northern loyalists; and we hope his no
Bile example will be SO speedily followed
by others, that, long ere the meeting of
Congress, every village, and hamlet, and
school house, and store, aud dwelling
south of Mason and Dixon's line will have
been blessed with the truth from the lips
of some one not a whit less radical in
sentiment than he. The sooner this
shall have been done, the sooner will a
millennium of union, OF peace aud of pros
perity dawn upon our land.
