ago by Or. 5. CheoPsus, an eminent Egyptian
physician.
rsile had long seen and Gle thr want of so,pc
msdy Nhiri would strike At The root Of dis
ease, and prevent much Of the suffering
which the human family was then compelled to
endure.
The great question was presented to his mind
every day IN vivid colnrs a. he moved among
the sick aud dying. and observed the ineifcien.
oy Of nearly all the remedies then ia use. Thu.
be was lead To think aud experiment; aud after
ten years Of study aud labor. he presented 70
his fellow man the wonderful Ziugari Bitters.
Tho effect Of this preparation in the prevention
and cure of disease, was so marvellous aud as
tonishing, that the most catering marks Of
royal favor were bestowed upon him who dis.
covered il. His nanr was placed upon the
Roll Of Mobiles, aud gold medal with the fol-
lowing ineriphon-Dr. :. Cheopsns the Public
Benetactor-wGs presented to him by the Vice
roy.
The preparation has been uscd IN severa
spidemics Of cholera, both as preventive and
curative measure, and with such great success
that il has been introduced into nearly all the
general hospitals Of the old world.
The old saving thar an ounce Of prevention
lous force to cholera, and therefore snv remedy
that viii protect US against this terrible disease
should be freely and persistentlv used.
Al pathologists now agree that the cholera
poison acts on the system through the blood,
and that any combination which acts on the
sxrretory organs, and keeps them In working
order, must prevent a sufficient accumulation
of the poison b exert its terrible effects on the
organism. This is true not only Of cholera, but
Of nearly all other naladies, especially the diff.
ferent forms Of fcvers.
The Zingari Btters Il just such a remedy as
the above conditions require. It acts on the
organs OF eNcreton and secretion, keeping up
perfect balance between then. This Biiters
is composed entirely of roots and herbs, so
nicely concoctod that every organ il acted upon
and put in tone. Its taste is pleasant and lis
effects prompt and lasting.

Penalty for Voting.

There would be no limit to the rum
pus that would be made here, if, after
an election, Republican employers, man
ufacturers, railroad superintendents and
citizens should discharge their laborers
for voting the Democratic ticket Yet
we have not heard the first whisper of
Democratic Indignation at the like treat-
ment of laboring men in Tennessee. who
are visited with rebel vengeance because
they voted the Republican ticket.
Hence the amiable and impartial men,
bers of the party are so eager for the
chance of heaping odium of that kind
upon the Republicans, that their inge-
Luity invents occasion and their fertile
imagination supplies them with facts by
the speechful. But if the prescribed
voter be a negro and not an Irishman,
and live in Tennessee aud not in Penn
sylvania it is all right and lovely in
Democratic eyes.
How the Tennessee policy will work
in the long run, remains to be seen.
Without labor, plantations will not be
likely to pay well. 1t perpetuates, and
increases the antlpathy between the ra-
ces, in tie practical and natural work
ing of which the white prosecutors have
no advantage over the prescribed blacks
So that, it is but the old madness of ex-
hibiting passion that will recoil npon
themselves, or according to the proverb,
damaging their own nose to spite their
face. The relation of employer and em
ployed cannot be modified by color, and
in their disordered state of society they
must take the labor that they have or
go without. White laborers will seek
fields of toll where civil rights can be
enjoyed in freedom,

Certain Queries Explained. .

For some time past reports were in
circulation to the effect that whiskey was
being brought into town and dealt out in
violation of law; and, also, that whiskey
had been stolen from the stable of Mr..
Jacob Relber, and that a barrel had been
tapped in the Store House, &C., &c.
With regard to the first, viz: that
whiskey has been brought to the borough
and dealt out in violation of law, there is
no denial; but, on the contrary, it is
rather confirmed by the words and actions
of persons who appear to glory in their
shame.
With regard to the second, that whis>
key was stolen from the stable of Jacob
Reiber,-this is true, but we have not
been informed who stole it.
In justic to the Mcssrs. Reibers, IL is
but right to state that the barrel cat Of
which the whisky was stolen, had been
delivered to them according to Law by
Mr.. Reed, the Government Store. keeper,
and that the same had been placed ia the
stable until morning At o'clock, in
the morning, Mr.. Martin Reiber repaired
to the stable for the purpose of convey
ing the barrel to the purchaser, he found
that it had been tapped, and that about
seven gallons had been taken from the
barrel and leaked out.
The individual that will steal whisk ey
IS pretty far gone, and has depraved
appetite, aud has lost all sense of honor
and shame. We are authorized to say,
that the law regulating the manufacture,
storage and sale of whiskey is strictly
obsyed and enforced by all connected
with the Messrs. Reibers' establishment.
This is as it should be.

ly controls the legislation, whenever a
public evil is to be abated by law, it is en-.
tirely in the hands of the people to fra me
the law as they may choose.
1t is not intended to create new DO
litical party, but it is expected that al,
good men will demand of their Repre-
sentatives and Magistrates to respect
their wishes in this matter and that,
irrespective of party, they will, in the ex-
ercise of their sovereign right as citizens
subordinate all other considerations, be.
iieving that there is no great question of
public interest at stake at this hour, equal
in magnitude and Importance to that of
the consummation of the Temperance
Reform. And this can be done with per-
feet propriety by every man, without af~
fecting his political relations, or the
proper maintenance of his opinions on
other subjects.
IF now these views are correct, it brings
home the responsibility directly to the
Church, and especially to tho Clergy as
the leaders of the hosts of Gods elect
We appeal to you, therefore, as to those
who love equally the souls of men and
their temporal well.being, that you labor
in every way by preaching, and lee
ture, and private exhortation, and pledg-
ing the Sabbath School children, and the
youth of the congregation, aud by every
practicable mea ns-to inculcate right
sentiments, to enforce right convictions
to form the consciences of the people and
guide them to right issues. We believe
i" that the time has fully come," when q
Christian State should take it's stand on
Christian grounds, and that by our works
we should prove our faith that " the
Kingdoms of the world shall become the
kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ
and He SHALL REIGN"

Killed by Lightning.

On Wednesday, the 7th inst, about 4
o'clock, p NJ, as near as can be ascer~
tanned, Thomas A Hutchison, of Centre
township, while engaged in binding oats
in his own field, was struck by lightning
and, as is believed, instantly killed. The
circumstances as related 10 us, are about
these Supper time having arrived Mrs.
Hutchison called her husband to come
to supper, but receiving no answer she
sent her little step-son to the field to tell
his father to come to supper. In short
time the little boy returned and stated
that his father was lying in the field, aud
that he had called him twice to come to
supper and that he made no answer
This, with the manner and appearance
of the boy, excited the suspicion Of Mrs.
Hutchison, that all was not right, and
that something had befallen her husband.
She Immediately sent her sister that was
living with her to Samuel Millcr's, a
neighbor near by, who informed him of
the circumstances. Mr.. Miller and son
repaired Immediately to the place, and
found Mr.. Hutchison lying in the. field as
stated by the little boy. He was on his
back with ready made band in his hand,
an unbound sheaf of oats lying over one
foot, evidently showing that he had just
completed making the band in an erect
posture and was about to bind, the sheaf
when he was struck.
Mr.. Miller and son found that he was
dead. They then spread the news sev>
eral of the neighbors soon assembled !;
and by this time it was late, and had the
appearance of rain, and it was decided
that it was right, uRder all the circum-
stances, to remove the corpse to the house,
which was accordingly done,
On the afternoon of the next day, an
inquest was held on the body by w. A.
Christy, Esq. There were visible marks
On the person of the deceased which, in
the opinion of the members of the in
quest, were caused by stroke of light
ming. This, in connection with the facts
as above detailed which were ELECTED at
the inquest, and from all the circumstan
ces surrounding the case, and from the
fact that during the evening there had
been vivid flashes of lightning and heavy
peals of thunder in the immediate vicin>
ity, the inquest decided that the deceas>
ed came to his death by being struck with
lightning.
The deceased was an industrious man
and worthy citizen. He leaves be-
loved wife and tw o children to mourn over
this sad bereavement.

The President and Mrs. Sur

Mr.. johnson denies that when be
signed the sentence Of Mrs. Snrratt and
dire ,ted her execution, he knew thai
members of the Commission had united
in recommending her to mercy. He de
clares that he knew nothing of such O
recommendation until two weeks after
ward. This has elected from Judge
Pierrepont another statement, which is
in these words:
l want no misunderstanding about
that. do not intend there shall be
any. That is part of the original record
which l here produced. 1t is in the
handwriting of one of the members of
that Court, to wit J.; General Ekin. The
original of that is now in his possession
and in the handwriting Of Hon. Jno. A.
Bingham. When counsel called for
that record, 1 sent on the afterpart of
that day to Judge Advocate General
Holt, in whose possession the records
are. He brought it to me with his

The successive laws Of Congress, fol
restoring the recreaut States to tho Union
bear q striking analogy to the famous
flank movements for suppressing their
rebellion against it. Each change Of
position, necessitated by Insane opposi~
tion, places the opponents in worse con :
dition than they were before it, while it
makes the triumph of right the more
sure. The more wise of their public
men perceive that they are not far from
Appomattox now, and counsel surren>
der, rather than hazard, by further resis.
lance, the danger of confscation. The
Republican party wishes to save them
from further damage and final ruin
through their madness, but they refuse
10 be saved.

To the Clergy and Churches Of

DEAR Brethren AT Convention
recently held in Harrisburg, to deliber-
ate on the State of the Temperance Re-
formation, the undersigned were appoin-
ted Committee " to prepare an address
to the Minister'S and Members of tho
Churches in the State" with view to
secure their haarty cooperation in the
movement for the removal of intemper-
ance from among u.s."
That Convention was unprecedented
for the large number and influential char
acter of its members, aud they brought
up from every part of the State an earn.
est and determined spirit which surpass-
ed the expectations of the most ardent
friends of the cause.
The Convention, in a series of resolu>
tions which were fully and faithfully can
vassed, defined its position in unambigu,
GUS terms. Among the vital points as
sumed, in addition to the conceded per-
sonal duty of total abstinence, were the
following, to-wit:
l. That to the retail traffic in intoxi>
eating liquors is " to be traced nine. .tcnths
of the drunkenness, pauperism, crime,
insanity and casualties of the country"
that ga license gives freedom, apparent
morality and respectability to the traffic."
and that it is the right and duty of the
people, in self,defence, by legislation and
other suitable means, to bring such traf-
fic to nend." 2. That the licensing of
acknowledged evils is ,orong in morals
and ruinous in legislation" 8. That
righteous law is potent instrument TO
create right public sentiment, and that
bad law depravcs and corrupts public
sentiment. 4. That ave believe the
time has fully come when all efforts to
regulate the traffic, should be at once and
forever abandoned"
This is the ground on which the Tenn
perance movement in this State has plan
ted itself Ia appealing especially to the
Clergy and the Churches, the Convention
assumes:
l. That the retail traffic in intoxica.
ting drinks, and their habitual use as a
beverage, is not merely social and pub
lie evil; it is an in,moralay of deep
and degrading character.
2. That the Church is not merely the
cVnservator of public morals, but should
be the leader and guide in all questions
that concern the welfare of humanity.
8. That the Clergy exercise legitimate
ly controlling influence in forming the
conscience and moulding the sentiment
of their congregations.
4. That the members of the Church
will readily aud heartily respond to every
effort of their Pastors for the redemption
of tho world from the thraldom of sin.
And we may farther assume, that be,
sides the church members, the better
portion of every community will just as
readily and zealously cooperate in every
movement which respects the welfare of
their fellow,men, bu. they look to the
Church to take the lead:

tion, and that he had conversation
with the President at the time on the
subject. That is my authority.
Subsequently to this, having present.
ed it here, the Judge Advocate Geuer-
al called to receive it back, and reitera-
ted in the presence of other gentlemen
the same thing. This is my knowledge,
and that is my authority.
This statement of Judge Piereepopt
raises direct question of veracity be.
tween the Preaident and Judge Holt,
but it is well understood by all in Official
circles that the whole thing is, on the
pari Of the President, deliberate and
malicious falsehood.
