WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD
CHERRY.

For the cure of Coughs, Colds IOarseness, Asthma,
Influenza Group, Whooping Cough Bronchitis,
Predisposition to Consumption, &c, &c.
This great remedy is too well known and is per-
forming too much good to make it necessary to go
into an elaborate discussion of its merits Suffice to
say that it still maintains its supremacy in curing
diseases of the most obstinate character and that all
who suffer from the above complaints, after having
tested this remedy seldom have occasion to resort to
other appliances to insure perfect restoration to
health

SENSIBLE CRITIcIsM.-An exchange has the fol-
lowing sensible remarks upon prevailing fashion
It is fashionable to at the eccentricities of fe-
male costume-at it's frequent changes, its many
offences against good taste and sacrifices OF comfort
aud health. But are men altogether without sin in
this matter? The prevailing style of pantaloons is
sufficient answer. Can anything be more ugly, un-
comfortable, and absurd! The display Of "shrunk
shanks' on the street is joy to the anatomist but
n voc to the lover of art. If all had lower limbs
like the Farnese Hercules there would be less i'm
propriety in our wearing tights, but instead of Far
knees, the majority have near'knees-that is, too
near to each other. And as for comfort, encased
in these candle. mouds, dare not laugh for feal
OF compound fracture-being restricted, in that re-
spect, like ladies with enameled faces. Tight boou
are an ancient wrong, but tight pantaloOns are
modern grievance, ior which we have to thank thu
narrow mind of some tailor, who, doubtless, had I
big leg-big, that is, for the fraction OF man.

STEAM ERRY.-Nothing is so important to bu
siness place as its approaches whether by turnpike
canal, railroad or ferry Almost every -prosperou
town in the Union owes, perhaps, more to these i'm
provemcns, which afford easy access for business On
pleasure, than 10 all others combined Yet we otter
see them neglected or overlooked when they nigh
be accomplished with very little effort Such is the
case with business men in this place, in regard
to our trade with tho farmers and others in Snyder
and Union counties. If we had steam ferry, with
proper facilities and moderate charges, it would in
crease our trade, from that quarter, ten fold and
enable our citizens to in marketing alone more
than the cost of maintaining well regulated steam
ferry. But it happens that such ferry would en-
tail no cost, as it would pay handsome dividends on
the small capital required The present ferry sys-
TEN is disgrace to the authorities and business men
of the place. 1t amounts to an almost prohibitory
tariff. A man and wife cannot come over the river
and return for less than dollar, by leaving
their horse and carriage the other side Instead
of imposing restrictions on trade, we should encour-
age and invite it, by holding out inducements.
One hundred shares of stock, at $50 per share,
would start steam ferry, and there can scarcely be
doubt that it would pay dividends of 10 to 20 per
cent the capital, with anything like proper
and management.

distractions which make disease cold settles
somewhere in the body, and deranges the natural
operations of that part. This, if not relieved, will
react upon itself and tho surrounding organs, pro-
