WE gather the following particulars from Phila-
delphia cotemporary in regard to the Riverside In
stitute, the advertisement Of which appears in our
columns: N'#
"This Institute promises to be of the grandcst
and nobest institutions of its kind organized.
In order that money may be speedily raised for the
maintenance of the Home, the Washington Library
Company has organized and adopted plan which
will meet with hearty approval and earnest sup
port from all This Company, knowing from the
past that to raise funds by appeals to the charitable
public is slow and uncertain work, oftentimes
sulting in total failure have adopted their present
method for accomplishing this much-desired result.
Their plan is to issue stock at dollar per share
each share Of stock emitting the holder thereof to
one finely yexecuted steel plate engraving, which at
retail could not be purchased for this In ad
dition to this, presents consisting of several thou
sand dollars in greenbacks, real estate, horses jewell
ry silver ware, sewing machines pianos, melodeons
and hundreds of other valuable articles, amounting
in the aggregate to S300,000, will also be bestowed
among the stockholders. Every sockholder not only
receives his engraving at the time of purchase, but
will also receive present at the distribution, there
being no exceptions. The Company are enabled to
act thus literally from the fact that, making their
purchases of engravngs, and of the presents to be
given away in such enormously large quantities. the
cost per single article is greatly reduced to what
would be the price were the purchase of the same
made at retail. Besides this all the presents such
as real estate etc., have been handed to the
Company by the original owners at their lowest mar
ket value. On this account the Company ena-
bled to offer such great inducements to those who
would interest themselves and aid in aeviating the
miseres and distress of the hundreds and thousands
of poor and forsaken orphans who now daily
in the lanes and thoroughfares of our large cities"

The MIDDLEcREEK RAILRoAD.-Thc Middleburg
Snyder county Tribune, of the 26th ult, says
I'VE pleased to announce that the engineers are
pushing rapidly with the final survey of the Mid
dlecreek Valley Railroad They will reach this
place by the latter part of this week. We under
stand that the surveyors have experienced conside-
rnble difficulty and opposition from the owners of
lands through which the road will pass. 1t is per-
fectly natural that persons would prefer to the
road go through other peoples farms to their own,
but Mt the same time We believe it to be well set
tied point that in order to the road the right
of way must be given, and let this be done cheer
fully. The farms through which the road passes
will certainly be improved in value fully the worth
of the ground. We have been informed that the
work will be commenced by the first of August"

Iron in the Blood.

The necessity of due proportion Of iron in the
blood is well known to all medical men when it be-
comes reduced from any cause whatever, the whole
system suffers the weakest part being first attacked,
and feeling of languor lasstude andall gononess"
pervades the system. Tho remedy is simply to sup
ply the blood with the necessary quantity of iron.
This can be done by using the
PERUVIAN SYRUP,
protected solution of the protoxide of Iron which
is so prepared that it assmilates at once with the
blood giving strength vigor and new life to the
whole system. ...
To take medicine to cure disease occasioned by n
deficiency of IRON IN THE BLOOD without re-
storing it to the system, is like trying to repair
building when the foundation is gone.
An eminent divine says 81 have been using the
PERUVIAN SYRUP for some time past it gives
me new vigor, buoyancy of spirits, elasticity of
muscle"
