The Ne,O Era, Atlanta, Ga, one of
the leading papers of the South, thus
endorses Hollands Bitters:
"Hoohand's German Bitters Is we'll
known TO the invalid For many
years II has been in use, and its repu-
tation is unimpaired 1t is not claim
ed for it that il is competent TO per-
form miracles, but there are many
diseases and disabilities which it can
reach more readily than any other
known remedy, and In all such cases
it is an excellent remedy. Dyspepsia,
and Diseases resulting from a disor-
dered Liver, or arrangement of the
digestive faculties, come within its
scope, and persons suffering from such
diseases have found great relief from
a fair trial of this celebrated Bitters.
This remedy is NOT alcoholic, contains
no rum or whisky, and cannot make
drunkards. Its reputation is backed
up by testimonials from many eminent
clergymen and Others"
Hoohand's German Tonic is a COM
bination of all the ingredients Of the
Bitters, with pure Santa Cruz Rum,
orange, anise, etc, making prepara-
iion Of rare medicinal value. The
Tonic is used for the same diseases as
the Bitters, in cases where some Alco-

A LITTLE HURT-"The loil millions
in the North" feel little bad over the
result Of the late Southern elections.
They crow little, however, over the
result in Alabama, where they did not
loose everything. Well, they may
rejoice it is in keeping with all their
rejoicings. They always feel good
while the blood of their own race is
crying from the ground. In a num-
Der Of counties in the State alluded to,
election day was turned into a negro
riot at the polls, for the purpose Of
keeping white property-bolders and
taxpayers from voting, while the non.
taxpaying negroes done the voting,
Hence the Radical victory.

AN Insurance CoNPANF.-Wc are
pleased to learn that proper effort
is being made TO organize Fire In
surance Company in this place. We
understand that an Act of Assembly
was passed last winter granting this
privilege. We have not read the act
in question, but understand that the
Charter is a liberal one, and that,
under it, our capitalists are willing to
invest funds, so as to enable our peo-
pie to insure their property at home
We arc satisfied that thousands Of
dollars are annually carried out Of
the county by foreign companies,
which might as well remain among
us because all know il takes the ma
or part Of our loose cash to keep up
the flour department. Hence, by
establishing an Insurance Company
In our midst, we can keep that capt
tai circulating among us, which now
goes TO replenish the Golfers of alien
companies.
II the proper parties take hold of
the enterprise, and make Il the FIRST,
instead of a secondary business, il
will be successful from the start.
Capital, without energy, never sue
ceeds very well; but energy, with a
little capital, soon erccts monuments
worthy Of initslicn'

ISLANDERS OF A WoULD. BE ADULrERER.
Mr. p. r. Frease, the editor of the
Germantown Telegraph, denounces
Cyrus l.. Pershing as a bigoted Cath
ole, and INDUCES in quito n TRADE of
abuse of our candidate for Supreme
Judge. The animus which actuates
that Radical falsifier is easily accoun-
ted for. In 1868 this man Freasc at
tempted TO procure n divorce from his
wife, an unfortunate lady then con-
fined in an insane asylum. MIR. Per-
shing boldly opposed any such unlaw-
ful action, and he thereby gained the
lasting ill.will of the editor Of the
Telegraph. Mr.. Pershing did not
hesitate to deunounce, rs il deserved,
the conduct Of n man who thus sought
to free himself by legislative enact
ment from ties which no court in the
country would dissolve. 1t is scarcely
necessary TO state that every charge
which this man Freasc brings against
Mr.. Pershing is false. II would be
no objection TO Mr.. Pershing if he did
belong TO the Catholic Church, but it
happens that he is prominent mem
Der and deacon in the Presbyterian
Church. So mnch &c. ;tthi ;this siahderer
aud wouldbe aduitereT Lancaster

RAILROAD AccIDENT.-Harrisburg,
August l4.-A terrible accident hap
pened this morning at 4 o'clock, on
the Schuylkil and Susquehanna Rail-
road. The Buffalo Express of the
Northern Central Railroad left here
at 1915, and at Dauphin Narrows
struck a rock three feet in diameter
and $500 pounds in weight, which had
rolled down the mountain. The rock
dragged the train thirty feet, when
the engine left the track and shot
over stone wall fifteen feet high in.
TO a country road, and thence through
another stone wall into the Pennsyl-
vania canal. The engine and tender
and three express cars, loaded princi-
pally with peaches, were smashed TO
atoms. One passenger car, well filed
with passengers, was jammed into the
wreck, but no passengers killed, al
though some were slightly injured and
bruised. Only two persons were killed,
Chas. W. Stewart, OF Baltimore, engi-
neer, and Jacob Crissman, Of Reading.
fireman, who was terribly mutiIated
and blackened. The baggagemaster,
whose car went into the canal, was
only slightly bruised, and went on
with new train. The engineer died
an hour after the accident, after suf-
fering excFuciating pain. Tho fire.
man was killed instantly. The Coro-
ner's jury rendered verdict attaching
no blame TO the Northern Railroad
Company or its employees, they having
but the paid right of way over the
road, but censuring severely the
Susquchanna and Schuylkill Company
for not having a watchman ut that
point, which has long been considered
ono Of the most dangerous on tho road,
owing TO the overhanging rocks. The
damage to tho Express Company is
large.
