SPECIAL NOTICES.
Lassltude.

A feeling of lassitude is generally experienced
throughout the summer solstice. Weakly con-
stituted persons or those of sedentery habits in
variably complain Of this annoyance. The seprch-
ing heat of midsummer relaxes the system and
reduces the vital energies. If the patient is of
q nervous temperament this debility units him for
even the ordinary routine of everyday life.-
When this state pf exhaustion comes on HOS
LETTERS sPdMACH BITTERs will prove safe
and never failing means Of strengthening and
restoring the physical organization. This health
giving tonic purifes and infuses renewed vitality
into the blood, tones the stomach and digestive
organs and acts like charm on the nervous
system It efectually removes all tendency to
languor or depression Of spirits. To the weaker
sex it is invaluable, as it soothes and braces up,
while its powerful effects are of the most bene-
fetal character The infrmaties Of age are allie
waited by its use. 1t revives the strength, in
creases the appetite apd gives vgor and elastici-
ty to the constitution.
When mothers are nursing HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS should especially be taken
in regular doses, as in this country, most always,
the nourishment is inadequate to the wants of
the child. In such this inestimable tonic is
wonderfully eficacious Its strengthening vir-
tues are at once apparent 1t is free from all
properties calculated to impair the system, and
its operations are at once mild and soothing.

THE CRoPs.-Fhe Native Virgiaian says it is
worth a trip of one hundred miles to see the
wheat on the Rapidan. There is hardly room
enough on the ground to hold the SHOCKS.
This is not equal to field of wheat raised in
the Valley in 1860. The owner had to shock a
portion of it in another field. as there was not
room to shock it in the field where it was grozn |!
Repairs from all portions of the State give the
most encouraging ACCOUNTS of the wheat crop
particularly along James River and in the Valley.
The crop is considered to be over an average one.
An intelligent farmer residing on Cedar Creek
assures us that the yield in that portion Of Frede-
rick is much better than was anticipated; and,
indeed, from all parts Of the country We have the
