The Rensons Why.-Some of the reasons why
Dr. Robacks Hood Pills sneuld be kept in every family
arc
Because they can be employed in all cases where
family physc is required, and perfectly safe in
their administration at all times
Becauee they act promptly in removing all Obstruc
tions from the bowels abrling immediate relief in
collie or other pains.
Because they arc Liver Pill acting directly on the
ton.
Because, in taking them, they do not interfere with
the regular ayocao OF the patient or leave the bowels
constipatcd
because they are made both with and without sugar
coating thus adapting them to the of everybody
because they being purely vegetable are perfectly
harmless, and can be taken by children adults at all
stages or periods OF life.
Because they especially adapted TO the Use OF per-
sons of sedentay habits and to the of females about
to become mothers.
Because they arc what their name indicates, Blood
Pill searching out diseases of the blood leaving the
system in the full vigor of health.
Because they are perfectly gentle in their operation,
causing no gripping, and safer surer and every way
better purgative pill than has before been offered
to the public.
Because, when followed in their by Roback's
Stomach Bitters they cure the very worst cases OF
dyspepsia.
Because thoy can be purchased at any drugstore
at the extremely low price of twenty-five cents per
box. 9901m

THE Report of the committee appointed by
the patrons and contributors of the James
town Road to walt upon the officers of the
Lake Shore company, and ascertain their views
with regard to resuming work upon that line,
is awaited with deep interest The committee
met President Devereaux by agreement, on
Wednesday last, and were received with consid-
Grafton and respect The object of their visit
was stated by Mr. CALDWELL, after which free
and pleasant conference was had. They were
assured that the company had never, for a mo-
ment, abandoned the idea of building the road.
The suspension of the work and subsequent
delay, were said to have been essential and I'M
portant to the interests of the Lake Shore COM
pany. AS soon as it was polite to resume the
work, it would be done. Mr. Deveraux eX-
pressed his desire to see and know for himself
what had been done upon the line, and to bring
this about he would notify the committee, when
in company with MIR. Collins, lie can devote
the time to passing over the line, which will
take place soon enough for laying the matter
before the stockholders at their meeting in
March next, when the gentlemen composing
the committee will be invited to be present
and be made acquainted with the action taken

LAKE SHORE CHANGEs.-Somec cnhages have
recently taken place among the officers OF the
Lake Shore Company, which our citizens will be
interested to know about. Superintendent Not
tingham, who has been identified with tire COM
pany-well, we don't know how long-at least
beyond the reach OF our acquaintance with it,
and who in the minds of US all had come to
be looked upon as an essential part of its man
agement, and to whose executive ability and
foresight was to be attributed much of the
steady and uniform success and prosperity of
the company, for some reason unknown TO the
public, ii few days ago, rendered the resigna-
ton of his place and retired from the company,
seyering the connections and associations so
long existing between himself and its officers,
as well as its numerous friends. 1t is said that
there is in prospect connection with the
Union Pacific Company. This resignation
was accepted, and the vacancy rendered to our
very worthy and popular friend-and towns
man. as we are half inclined to consider him
CHARLEY COLLINS, who has also enjoyed long
connection with the company, Eve believe ever
since the road was built,) holding latterly the
important one of engineer-in-ch There is
hardly any thing about the operating of the
road that Mr. Collins long and intimate con-
nection with it has not made him familiar with.
He is of course, therefore, the man, of all 9th
ers for the place, and all will indorse the judg-

A FIRE-NEARLY.-Thcs store of Tyler &
Carlisle came near serious confagstion on
putting out lights fox the night, as young Mr.
Tyler was putting out one of the lamps, an ex-
plosion took place from the bursting of the
lamp and the subsequent escape and spread of
the oil. The floor and the clothing of Mr. T.,
was soon in blaze, but by vigorous effort,
the flames were gotten under without material
damage. The oil was from barrel purchas-
ed of Dir. T. ]. Johnson, which upon trial was
found to take fire at 20 degrees of heat and ex-
ploded at so. Such is much of the stuff with
which many of our dwelling and places of bu-
siness are lighted
