SPECIAL NOTICES.

THE public esteem in which PANK.
MINIS HEPATIC BITTERs are held, is
another proof of their excellence as q
Tonic. They are recommended by physi-
clans generally, and have never disap-
pointed those who have made use of them.
They give sure and speedy relief in nausea,
sick headache, dyspepsia and all similar
complaints. For sale by all druggists.

TT Is AnIAzING-That the feeble
should totter, with uncertain steps, over
the face Of the earth, in danger every day
OF falling victims to the morbid influences
by which we are all surrounded, when o
tested and proven vegetable tonic, capable
OF endowing them with the vigor they
need, is procurable in every city, town and
settlement. It might reasonably be
thought that after the twelve years e1pe-
rience which the world has had Of HOS
LETTERS BITTERS, all would know
that its effect is to prevent disease.
At this season the atmosphere is sur
charged with the seeds OF intermttents,
remittents, rheumatism, pulmonary dis
~ ANSAo3 oAAouo auo tuS llhcs
Persons whose nervous systems are re-
la1ed are the first to succumb to these
distempers. Brace up the ply ysical ener-
gies then with this potential vegetable
tonic. 1t is the most powerful recuperant
which the botanic kingdom has ever
yielded to patient research and expert
ment. Try it. The blindest disciple Of
the old medical dogmas will at least admit
that tonic and Alternative, compounded
OF approved herbs, roots and berks, can
do no harm, while the testimony Of thou
sands invites trial of it's virtues.
Vigor is the thing most needed in these
cases as well as in dyspepsia and nervous
affections, and Hostotter's Bitters is the
safest, lsurest and most wholesome
strengthening preparation that human
skill has yet concocted.
Hundreds Of physicians have abandoned
all the efficinal receipts and prescribed
this harmless tonic as a preventive and
cure for all cases Of chills and fever.

The Chin Fever.

This affection is usually prevalent among
boys from fifteen to eighteen years old. You
don't know what chin fever is perhaps. The
first symptoms aie frequent inclination to
pass the hand over the chin sometimes
over the upper lip. The sufferer has an
expression as though impatiently expecting
something, which delayed in coming. He
will frequently gaze carefully in the looking
glass, as though it was the mirror of for
tune. As the trouble increases the afflicted
boy may be seen to get little ease by ap-
plying strong soap-suds to his face; so anx-
ious is he sometimes. to get rid of his trou-
BILE that he has been seen to cut his throat
with his iathcr'srazor Asusual, the ouack
medicine dealers take advantage of persons
in such trouble, and advertise compounds
warranted to cure the worst cases in from
three to six weeks; but these applications
only aggravate the symptoms, and cause
more violent manipulation Of the face.
1t is relief to know that this trouble is
not fatal, and disappears gradually as the
beard grows, though VIC have known cases
where some OF the symptoms, especially
passing the hand atlectionatcly over the face,
have remained through life. The best treat
ment for the patient perhaps, is to let him
alone, as an advance in such cases usually
aggravatcs the complaint. If any, how.
ever, should really wish to know what to do
with the beard when it first appears, we
answer, lett alone until it becomes unsightly,
then trim it, Too early and frequent shaw.
ing will make it troublesome in after years;
If not abused by continuous cutting it will
be more likely to remain soft and silky.

SINGULAR AFFAIR-A LITTLE MUTE
Boy CAST UPON THE World. On Thurs.
day night the train from New York took to
Troy a little deaf and dumb boy, who was
sent by the conductor to the Troy House
with note saying that the lads father
would arrive in the boat the next morning,
and also directing that the hotel porter
should take the boy to the boat to pick out
his father, as the latter did not know where
to find his son on arriving. The boy was
kept over night and the next morning sent
to the boat. Tho father did not arrive, and
the little fellow was brought back to the
hotel, where he soon grew uneasy and began
to cry. Various expedients were rosorted
to to please him, until finally gentleman
from Troy, whose little son is also mute,
came up and took the stranger to his house,
where he has since remained as "happy as
the day is long" But the father has hot
yet arrived, and the fear is expressed that
the poor lad may have been deserted BY his
parents --Nep York Enpvss.

Col. LEVI l.. TATE,
Dcdr Sr:-Sincc the passage of the act
'changing the name of the Sunbury and
Erie Rail Road Company and to facilitate
the completion of Railroad to Eric" You
have published several Columns of dcnun-
Citations of the measure and its supporters,
characterizing it as "a cheat" "a swindc"
and "a fraud. But in my humble opinion
You have no good reason for indunging in
such Epithets nor DO you show the bill to be
wrong 1t is much easier to call hard names
than show thing not to be Right. Now
Sir voted for this bill and if your language
he true | have assisted in swindling the
State. | examined the measure carefully
and thoroughly aud am confident have
done no such thing, but on the contrary
have done what is for the best interest of
the Commonwealth, my reasons are these

complete the Smbuy and Erie Raiiyoad.

The counties through which three fourths
of this railroad runs, never received any as
sistance from the State in making internal
improvements, while millions on millions of
the common funds of the people was Law
ishcd in building the upper north Branch,
the Wyoming u other canals, the result was
the land in the counties throug which they
passed have quadruplcd in value, while
there has scarcely been any percoptib!e rise
in Real Estate in Potter Mexican, Elk,
Warren, Cameron and Venango Counties
within the last thirty years. The compile
ton of the Sunbury & Erie Road will add
twenty millions of dollars to the amount of
taxable property in the State, and deyelopc
an untold amount of wealth that now lies
dormant and always will be If this improve
ment Is not made. She will derive a very
large benefit in the increased value of taxa
bic property, if she never got one cent of
her mortgage on the Sunbury and Eric
Road.
But this is by no means tie case, next as
to the security of the State now has, COM
pared with what she had before the bill
passed, Previous to the passage of this act,
the commonwealth had the one half of a
mortgage of seven millions Of dollars on an
unfinished line Of Rail Road, on q Rail
Road that would require several millions of
dollars to furnish and equip, 1t was first

CHINESE ITATR.-A correspondent writ
ing from Paris tells the following story: 81
was in lairdrcsscr's shop few days ago,
when man entered who offered for sale a
large lot Of Chinese tails-I mean human
hair tails, such as adorn the heads of the
subjects Of the celestial empire. The bar
gain was soon struck at the low rate of two
francs and half per tail, and the vender
was encouraged to bring as many more as he
could procure. The hair was coarse and
black, and did not seem to me fitted to add
to the attractions Of any female head, so
inquired to what use it could be put. "Usc!"
exclaimed the hairdrcsser, 'soyc. trunqwQc,
| am not anxious about that. There is such
q demand for hair just now that We arc too
happy to buy whatever We can got / tell
you this story, as it may furnish a useful
hint to some Of your lady readers, on FASH
ion bent, but still of frugal minds. They
will be glad to know that by asking for
Chinese tails they may procure cheap hair
Tor country toilets, or more especially for
sea-bathing.
