Nature Ia the Great Phystc,an.

This is now admitted, by the medical pro-
fession as fundamental principle of healing
science. 1t is wisely p divided by the HUI
man economy that whenever anything is
wrong in the physical system the natural
forces ofthe body are brought to bear to expe-
the disease. The great aim, therefore, is to
strengthen the natural powers. This has
been kept in view by the skilful Compound
ers OF HOSTETrER' S STOMACH BlTTERS,
winch operates to give fresh vitality to all
the organs Of the body. The effect of this
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the klHdneys, Is prompt aud decisive. The

and try the BITTERS, soon feels as if he
had taken a new lease oil life, and as be con
Times the use OF the article, he is oVerioyed
to lind the streams ofhealth coursing through
bis frame. 1t is prepared with great care,
and It's component parts are entirely vegeta-
bic. 1t Is free from the objections so often
argued against preparations of :he kind. AS a
MEDICAL AGENT it has no equal, while
its pleasing flavor and heelthful effects have
made it Il general faYorite. 1t is free from
all properties calculated to empair the sys-
tenn, and its operations are at once mild,
soothing and efficient. All no have used
H0STbTTFR' STOMACH BITTERS attest

Even those who are in the enjoyment Of
perfect health frequently have need to have
recourse to tonicS as Preventatives ofdiSeaSc.
We are never too we'll armed against the
assaults OF 'the ills that flesh is heir to-"
In health or sickness this tonic cannot lie
taken regularly without giving Vitality and
elasticity to the system.

RARE FIsHING.-There has been
an unusual quantity of Ash taken from the
river in this city the present season. Pike,
pickerel and black bass, the finest fish
which the river affords, have been caught
in great numbers from the water, below the
different dams. Last Wednesday shoal
of bill-ish appeared below the middle dam
and of course every other fish vanished for
The time being from that vicinity The boys
however made it lively work for these fierce
fellows while they stayed, and speared sew
eral of size much larger than we ever saw
before. One we saw, which weighed I03
pounds and measured feet 10 iLches in
length the 10 inches being bill, and an
ugly looking bill it was too. We could not
help shuddering at the possibilities Of meet
ing such fellow while bathing in tn e river
1t would be only better than meeting a
speared at Blanchard's mill which measured
5 feet in length, and that one or two
others were seen, which were apparently at
least 6 feet in length. These FISH are about
as valuable Ton food as the dog fish, the latter
holding the same rank among fish that the
turkey buzzard does among birds. 1t is
even believed by many that their flesh is
poisonous if eaten and it is also quite COM
monty believed that their bite is venomous,
but we can not say as to the truth of these
ideas.

DEATH OF SAMUEL MINER.--We
regret to learn that Mr.. Samuel Miner for
many years a Conductor of one Of the day
express traius on the Chicago + Northwes
tern Railway, died of consumption in Chi
cage, on Saturday the 18th. The most Of
our business men and those having had oc-
casion to go to Chicago during the last few
years will doubtless remember Mr. Miner
and that most favoraby. His uniformly
gentlemanly manners aud careful attention
to his duties secured for him the kindly
regard of the travelling community and the
esteem and confidence of his employers
About a year ago he was allowed, on ac-
count of failing health, to exchange the Ia
borious duties of his position for others of a
less exacting nature. Last winter he went
to Florida in the hope that the mild and
favorable climate of that state might prove
beneficial to his health, but the disease was
too deeply seated to be cured and short
time since he returned to Chicago in fee
BILE condition and rapidly failed till death
ended his sunerings.

A Coon TnING-Dr Southwell is
one Of thoseiuga nious mea WHO often see
how Improvements can be made on old
ways of doing things, and have the faculty
of putting their ideas into tangible form.
He has recently sent on to the Patent Office
ID Washington a little machine designed
principally for makers use; its OBJ
ject being to hold round leather in position
to be sewel. It is without doubt a valuable
invention, and we believe will be in great
demand when put into market.
Drs. Southwell and Spalding also have
patent for aI"buggy clip" by which the thllls
or pole can be instantly attached or taken
from the vehicle. No bolt is used, there is no
Chance for it to "rattle" and it is even more
secure than the old style of fastening. This
improvement receives the communication OF
all who have ssen it operate.

THEATRIcAL.-Iast Monday night

THEATRIcAL.-Iast Monday night
| "Biddles' Dramatic Star Combination
Troupe sade their first appearance in this
| city at Music Hall, in a new play, known
as "Meg's Diversion" with "Nan the Good
for-Nothing" as afterpiece. We had been
led by the universal expressions of praise
which our exchanges have bestowed
upon this Company, TO expecta performance
OF unusual merit, and our anticipate ons
were fully realized. The Troupe is strong
one, and greatly superior TO the general
average of travelling Theatrical Companies
The acting was good without exception and
IN many instances was of very superior
character, showing careful preparation and
nigh order of ability. We were pleased
to note an absence of all rauting, over act
ing tawdry dress and other CD cap clap trap
with which many seek to atone for power
ty of real talent and the lack of abb to
play well their parts. On the contrary the
performers all spoke and played in natural
easy and unaffected manner Characteristic
ofgood taste and genuine merit. Without
going fully into particulars we will say
that Misses Amelia Watts and Mile Bridges,
as daughters of Farmer Grow, showed very
nigh d amatic talent, aud speedily became
markedfaVorites with the audience. Mr.. &
Mrs J. Biddle, as Farmer Crow and Mrs.
Newell, represented those characters in a
manner above criticism. Messrs. E. Cliff
ford, J. D. Wood, c. Howard and J. W
1oohey, respectively took the characters of
Jasper Pigeon, Roland Pigeon, Ashley Nor
Ton, Esq, and Bytem and sustained them
well. Mr.. J. D. Wood made a g reat it as
'Tom D;bbles' in ''Nan the Good for Moth
ing" and Miss Amelia Watts as "Nan' was
simply irresistible and achieved the great
est success of the evening.
"Fanchon the Cricket" one of the finest
plays ever put upon the stage, is to be pre-
scented this Wednesday, Evening.

To THE NERyoUs.-The natural result of

action, is a feelin OF weakness, dizziness
heaviness, WEAKNESS, languor of body or
mind, &c. Persons of a weak constitut ton, or
whose habits are sedentary, frequently com
plain of this relaxed condition of the vital
energies and, when persons of nervous
temperament are thus weakened and debili-
tated, disease inevitably follows, unless it is
at once checked and overcome. All who

A FINE CARRIAGE.-Mr. James
Hanrahan shipped a two-seated Carriage of
his manufacture to Columbus few days
since, which was a fine specimen of the
carriage building art. Being constructed of
the best materials and in the most durable
manner, it was highly creditable to the es-
adjustment which turned it out, and seems to
be appreciated in the section to which it was
taken, as Mr. Hanrahan has already received
several other orders from persons in the vi
entity of Columbus. We do not, wonder
that people from neighboring towns send
orders 10 this city for wagons carriages, &c.
as there i9 re place in the State where they
can be manufactured better, more advanta-
gously or more cheaply. Mr.. Hanrahan
has been established here several years, and
his work speaks for itself-we therefore take
pleasure in commenting him to all who may
need anything in hisline.
