DYSPEPSIA OR INpIGEsTIoN.-Thi
complaint OF all others, is of the most
common occurrence, and pervades
every rank of society. The usual
symptoms are, want OF appetite, sud
den and transient distentioDs of the
stomach, frequent eructations, heart.
burn, stomach pains, and frequently
costiveness and diarrhe. The causes
are numerous, the most common be-
ing luxurioue diet and want OF sufli.
cient exercise, excessive mental anx-
iety, want OF pure air, etc. To effect
n certain cure, it is necessary to
adopt regular habits, use moderation
in eating and drinking, and restore
the tone of the stomach with Roback's S
Bitters. If the bowels are constipa.
ted, use Roback's Blood Pills in
moderate doses, sufficient to produce
slight evacuations every day.

FLAx-SEED.-Farmers, who have
raised flax during the three years

a crop as they ever raised. Most Of
the land in the county is adapted to
the cultivation of this product, and
when clean seed is sown, little or no
trouble is met with from foul weeds.
AS farm crop, it brings a better
return for the money, time and labor
expanded, than any other--and with
all, is no more exhaustive to the land.

Findlay Oil Mills, are prepared to

Go TO CHURu There is no one
thing which helps to establish q
man character and standing in 80
ciety more than steady attendance
at church, and a proper regard for
the first day Of the week. Every head
of a family should go to church as
an example. Lounging in the streets
and bar rooms on the Sabbath, is
abominable, and deserves censure,
because it lays the foundation OF
habits which ruin both body and
soul. Many a man can date the
commencement OF his dissipation
which made him burden to himself,
and his friends, and an object Of pity
in the sight OF his enemies, to bis
Sunday debsuchery. Idleness is the
mother Of drunkenness.

DECKER BRoTnERs' Nsw ScALI
PIASo.-.The new scale square plan,
just turned out by Decker Brother
No. OIL Bleecker Street, is an instru
ment Of rare and extraordinary beau
ty. Admirable as their instrument
have been, heretofore, they are en-
tirely eclipsed by this recent improve
ment.
The prineiple,upon which the Deck
er Bros pianos are made, and o
which principle they hold the exclu
sive Patent, is tha. all the strings
shall have their bearings of contact
points, upon wood This is obtained
by raising the bass end of the plate
in the casting, which permits the
strings to pass under it to the turn
ing pins, and rest upon the wrest
plank. Holes corresponding to the
turning pins, but larger, are cast in
the plate, so that none of the reso.
nant material of the piano, comes in
in contact with iron.
Decker Bros have tested this Pat
ent principle on an enlarged scale
and have gained results in proper
tion. The tone, which is cxquisitel,
refined, rich and sympathetic, has
vastly increased in power, gaining in
grandeur of volume, without losing
any of those fine qualities, which al
ways characterized their instrument.
aud have made them a solid reputa
tion wherever they have becom,
known. We can imagine nothing
finer of their class than the new seal,
square pianos of Decker Brothers
Faithful, delicate, and highly finish
ed workmanship, gives the result o
perfect equality in all their instru
ments. This fact has led to the gen
eral remark among the best profes
sors, that one has no "need to choose
among the pianos of the Decker
Bros, for they are all equally admi
rable."
