1t is the onlv safeguard and reliable remedy
which has ever been prepared from the juice Of
the Pine Tree
Itinvigorates the digestive organs and restores
the appetite.
II Strengthens the debilitated system
1t purifirs and enriehes the blood and ex7els
from the system the corruption which scrofula
breeds on the lungs.
Ii disolves the mucus or phlcgm which stops
the air passages of the lungs
Its healing principle acts upon the irritated
surface of the lungs and throat penetrating to
each diseased part, relieving pain and subduing z
inflammation
Itis the result of years of study and experiment.
and it is offered the afflicted, with the positive
assurance of its power to cure the following dis

sort 10 the means Of cure =
Consumption of the Lungs, Cough Sore Throat
and Breast Bronchitis. Liver Complaint, Blind

O. W Wishart's Pine rec Cordial. We answer
LIST 1t cures not by stopping cough. but by
iooseniRg and assisting nature to throw off the
unhealthy matter collected about the throat and
bronchial tubes causing irritation and cough.
ID Most Throat and Lung Remedies are com
posed IF anodynes. which allay the cough for
awhile but by their eonstringing the fbres
become hardened md the unhealthy fluids coag-
ulate and re retained in the system causing dis
ease beyond the control ofour most eminent ply
sicians
Sd The Pine Tree Cordial with its ASST tants,
are preferable. because they remove the cause of
irritation of the mucus membrane and bronch ial
tubes assist the lungs TO act and throw Fl the un-
healthy secretions and purify the blood, thus
scientifically N akinG tho cure perfect.

NEEDS PAINTING.-It is now several
years since the Court House, in this place,
was erected and painted; and, as the paint
is getting old and dry and scaling Of in
many places, we would suggest to the Coun-
ty Commissioners the propriety of having
the outside of the building repainted. The
neglect of this i'm portant precautionary
measure to protect the brick work from the
action of the weather and frosts will result
in great damage to the building, and even
tually in an increased expense to the citizens
of the county. Who will second our sug-
gestion?

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE Stock Y ARDS
The Pennsylvania Railroad Stock Yards, at
East Liberty, Messrs. Alerton, Houston &
Co., lessees, have recently been materially
enlarged, large number OF sheds having
been added, so that they are now prepared
to meet any demand made upon them by
stock dealers The yards are now the most
capacious in the country with one exception
and are kept in the most perfect order, ev-
erything about them being neat aud clean.
The iessees give their personal attention to
the management of the yards, so that the
wants of dealers are promptly and satisfac
torily attended to. Among other improve
ments has been the discarding of their old
weigh scales, and the substitution of the eel
ebrated Fairbanks Standard Patent, which
are recognized throughout the world as su-
perior to all other manufactures. These
scales are now used for the weighing of
stock at all the important shipping points
In the far west as well as In the east, which

ton & Co., are capable of weighing whole
car load of cattle at time, and so perfect
IL do they operate with such an immense
weight. that but the single touch of finger
turns the scale. This delicacy to touch is
something remarkable In such ponderous
machinery, but II conclusively proves the
nicely and precision expended in their man.

LOOKING UP-We venture to say, more
eyes were turned heaven ward, in Clearield
on Saturday, than have been looking in that
direction for long time. Nearly every
body was on the street provided with piece
of smoked glass, gazing at the sun. We
heard many sage remarks and wonderful
opinions expressed. One fellow thought
the sun was turning Black Republican. !"
Another said ''he was hiding his face for
shame at the news from Tennessee. The
scientific theories advanced would have as
founded the Philosophers and Astronomers
who have been focking, for weeks past, to
''thc path of tolality," could they have
heard them. If they want to have celestial
phenomena elucidated and explained they
had better come to Clearield.

TIE ECLIPsE.-There was no failure or

i VIsrF-A committee of nine gentle
men FROM Bellefonte, paid our town visit
last week. to examine the new Presbyterian
Church. They are building a very fine
church in Bc!lefonte, and wished TO look at

church here. They expressed themselves
very much pleased and delighted with the

general improvement of our town.
