SPECIAL NOTICES.
DO not TYifie with Danger.

A single spark may kinde fame that will con-
sumo city, and small a,lmeuts neglected, may
end in fatal disorders. Bearing this fact in mind
let the first symptoms of debility nervous pros
tration be met promptly with fnvigorating treat
ment. Foremost among the vegetable mics OF
the age stands HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS, and whenever the vital powers seem to
languish. or there is any reason to suspect that
the animal function essential to the sustenaton
and publication Of the body imperfectly per-
formed this invaluable inyigorant and antiseeptic
should at once be resorted to- Indigestion al
ways produces weakness of the bodily powers
Sometimes it happens that the appetite demands
more food than the stomach can digest; though
not more, perhaps, than is required to- keep up
the full strength of the frame. The object, under
such circumstances is to increase the digestive
capacity of the assimilating organ, so TO make
equal to the duty imposed upon it by the appe-
title, and capable of supplying the ba:lding mater
ia of the system as fast it il required This OBJ
jet is fully accomplished by of the Bitters.-
They tone and gently stimulate the cellular men,
brane which secretes the gastric juice, and the
resu!t is that the solvent is mingled with the food
in sufficient quantity to convert all its nourishing
particles into pure and wholesome element. If,
on the other hand, there is deficiency of appe-
tite. without any corresponding deficiency of d.
ges.ine power, the effect of the tonic is to stmu-
late desire TO" food In nineteen cases out of
twenty, headache, nausea, nervousness, fainting
fits, spasms, and, indeed, most of the casual aches
and pains to which humanity is subject, proceed
primarily from indigestion complicated with bill
lousness; and for both these complaints HOS
TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are recon-
mended speedy and certain remedy.

Tabieaux, &c.

We had the pleasure Of attending the tab
lsaux, &c.. given by the colored school Ct this
place, under the management of the teacher
Minnie Ovrette, colored. The entertainment
was rendered in style creditable TO both scho
lars and teacher. Considering the short time
for rehearsals, and the limited means Of the
parties to prepare themselves, the whole affair
was quite q surprise to our citizens. The citi-
zens, generally, patronized the entertain
ment. which was intended for the benefit of
the colored peoples church, which is being
erected in this place, and everything passed
off very pleasantly and satisfactorily, both to
the audience and performers, except some out
rageous conduct of q few unprincipled and
unmannerly boys. who saw proper to annoy
the audience by their hideous noise and dis
courteous conduct, during the evening. The
Management of the tableaux, &c., return their
thanks to MIR. P. Hoshour, who endeavored
to keep these unmannerly boys in check. and
10 protect the ladies of the audience from the
discourteous conduct Of those who were so
disgracefully engaged in trying to DISTURB an
enterprise SO legitimate and beneficiary i'll its
object. The receipts Of the evening were
quite liberal, and will be applied for the ben
fit of the new church.

Coal Mine.
We are gratifed to learn that northern

The operations will commence Immediately,
and it is thought by the prospecters that a
rich yield of coal will be the result. The
specimens Of coal found, which induced the
enterprise, are of the very fines: anthracite.
Other specimens have been found in other To-

and in connection with the iron and other in

True Beyond Doubt.

We would advise our country friends, and
others, who are in want of Shoes or Hats. to
give Norris, opposite Welsh's Hotel, a CALL as
he has the largest stock of goods in his liae
without exception, in the Shenandoah Valley.
AS he buys in larger quantities, and makes
Shoes and Hats speciality, he can sell at
prices that defy competition. If you merely
wish to examine, step into his store when you
next come to town, and you will 60 away sat

been in the habit of getting your goods.
