Dr. Schencl<'s Mandrake Pills.
A Substitute for CalOmel.

"A Substitute for CalOmel.
These Pills are composed of various roots, having
the power to relax the secretions Of the liver
promptly and effectually as blue pill or mercury,
and without producing any of those disagreeable
dangerous effects which often follow the of the
latter.
In all bilious disorders these Pills may be used
with confidence, as they promote the discharge of
vitiated bile and those distractions from the
liver and hillary ducts, which arc the cause of
bilious affections in general.
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS cure sick
headache, and all disorders of the Liver, indicated
by sallow skin coated tongue costiveness, drowsi-
ness, and general feeling Of WEAKNESS and lassi-
tude, showing that the liver is in torpid or OBJ
tsructed condition.

Trout FIsnIsG.-This sport has induced quite
number Of persons, from this and other places this
season, to visit the mountain streams above Lock
Haven, on the Phila. Erie road. Last week a
special car attached to the $50 evening train, went
up the road on trout fishing excursion. 1t was
mored that Gen. Grant was among the party. He
only came to Hanover Junction, on his way to Get
tysbuSg. In the car, however, were Gen. Cameron,
Admiral Lee, Hon. F. p Blair and wife, Senator
Thomas, of Maryland, and also Messrs. Du Barry,
Colder, and several others from Harrisburg. The
party returned on Saturday with a number of the
speckied beauties, and before leaving the station
here, kindly rendered us fine mess of the fish,
which were duly served up next morning Sunday
for breakfast, and we confess, our good opinion o
trout for breakfast has not diminished in the least
and We shall take no offense at any repetition Of
such fayors on the part Of our friends.
