looks very well, and u quantity Of the
land is well set in grass.
A portion of the buildings have recently
been destroyed by fire, and several of the
paupers have left; the remainder of the

A CORRECTION.

GENTLEMEN: | beg to call your atten-
ton to the concluding paragraph OF the
enclosed communication, cut from my
copy of your paper OF last Friday, 10Th
inst and ask its correction.
The Society for the Prevention Of Cruel
ty to Animals" for the State Of Maryland,
has been successfully organized and isnow
working under a charter that defines its
authority; it aims to have the present laws
enforced, not to interfere with or hinder
them; and as time is allowed the proffer-
ed aid from the different counties will also
be organized, when the efforts of the soci-
ETY. to do good, will be more generally
known and appreciated.
Your correspondent evidently penned
his remarks about the Society without
knowing anything about its merits, and
his insinuation, in your widely circulated
paper unless contradicted, is tended to
place the society" in false position, es-
pecially with the people of Hartford.
Requesting your kind attention to this
matter, | remain,
Respectfully,
AN OFFICER
Ol INC 'SoClety lof INC IcNchtioll vi Slucl-
ty to Animals
The following is the paragraph alluded
to by our correspondent above:
"The negroes have commenced their an
nual raid upon hen roosts, corn cribs, meat
houses, &C., and l daily hear complaints
Of their depredations, and the only reason I
can assign for their non arrest is the fear
that any one causing their incarceration in
Bel Air Jail would place themselves under
the ban of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals"
We think, however, that our correspon-
dent "Halls X Roads" has been misunder
stood in his allusion to the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals.

TIE WHOLE STORY IN A NUTSHELL.

The office of the stomach is to convert the food into
crcalnke semi-iluid, called CIYME. This is effected
partly by the action of solvent called tho gastric juice
which eXucs from the coating of tho stomach, aud part
IL by a mechanical movement OF that organ, which
ctuiS as it werc the dssOying aliment. The ClllME
passes from the stomach into the duodenum, entrance
TO the bowels where is subjected to the action of the
bile and the nutritious portion OF it converted into
fund called Chyie, which eventually becomes blood.
Now it is evident that the great solvent the gastric
juice produced in sufficient quantity or if the me-
chanical action of the stomach is not sufficiently brisk
the first process Of dgeSiOa will be but mperiecty por
formed 1t is also clear that if the liver which plays
such an important part in changing the nonrshng por-
ton of the thyme into the material of the blood. is con-
gested in any unnatural condition. the second process
will not he thoroughly accomplished The result OF the
cO failures is dyspepsia, complicated with btHtOuSReSS
The mode in which IIOSrEffER'S BlrTERS operate
in such cases is this they nvgorate the cellular menu
bune the stomach, which evolves the gastric juice,
thereby insuring an ample suhicency Of the fluid to
completely dissolve the food They also act upon the
nerves of the stomach, causing an acceleraton OF the
mechanical movement necessary to reduce the food to n
homogeneous mass. They also act specifically upon the
liver strengthening it, and enabling it to produce
ample and regular supply of bile for the purpose ofcon-
vertng the nutritious particles OF the Chye into CHye
and promote the passage through the bowels OF the use
less debris.
In this way, HoSTETTERS RITTERS cure dyspepsia
and liver complaint. The explanation is plain, simple,
philosophical, and true.
