At this season of the year, the general
health of the country is very good, with some
exceptions, such as constitutional Bilious
Temperaments, some victims of Dyspepsia or
nervous weakness, in which case the sufferer
is afflicted more or less with the warm weather
now coming on. To such we would suggest
the use of a gentle stimulus or tonic. such as
THE MORNING ssSTAR BITTERS,'' which
can be procured of any Druggist. These Bit
tiers we can recommend very highly as pre-
ventive and cure of the above named diseases.
They act directly upon the liver, driving the
overflow of bile from the stomach, purifying
the system and strengthening the nerves, eau
sing the digestive organs 10 perform their
proper functions, giving fresh energies to the
Invalid and health to the nerves. To
Delicate or Elderly females we especially re-
commend them. The Morning Star Bitters
are very pleasant to the taste of the most fas-
tidious. May %.

BENToNv1LLE, WARREN Co, Va,
80. .oII fonn- ,.

N r. Editor I'VE have been greatly favored
witt | health and quiet this winter. Our
neif shborhood has furnished less employment
for the doctors than common. Oar people are
ge' aerally remarkably healthy. Situated as
W are, in a narrow valley, between two
rs .nges of mountains, we are sheltered some
hat from the storms Of winter.
We can boast of our old men; we have
{ several who have passed the prescribed period
allotted to man, their three score years and
ten. We have the two Stinsons brothers
"Uncle Johnny is So, sUncle Jimmy, is
bordering on 80, Mr.. John E. Thompson and
Jas. S. Spengler, Esq, are near eighty, all
ofthem still more or less active. Mr. Spengler
was known tomany of your readers, years ago,
as the high sheriff of Shenandoah County,
when that county extended all over these hills.
The old gentleman enjoys remarkably good
health, and leads very active life He
sho VS. his independence by hard work every
day, though he is well able to shield himself
by hireng labor.
We have another citizen who has nearly
numbered his three score and ten, and we
fear he is breaking himself down by his efforts
to ''serve his generation" Ifyou were to see
DIR. z. j. Compton, you would not hesitate to
class him with the old men. The faithful
physician. who follows his calling in honesty
and sympathy for his kind, has great many
sacrifices to make and much severe exposure
to undergo 1t requires the full vigor of
manhood to endure such hardships.
We should respect and honor our old men.
What we might not say of the young, we may
say, without any suspicion of fattery, of the
old. Their characters are known. They
are the landmarks of the past, they are our
guides along. the pathway of life.

Our NeighbOrS of EdinbuFg. e..
We have repeatedly referred to the intelli-
giant activities of the lively little town whose
name heads this paragraph. Edinburg is
full of attractions, not the least of which is
its go ahead spirit in every good and lawful
enterprise. Its people press to just and
wise conclusion every movement looking to
the Improvement of their churches, and the
development of the mind of the community.
Upon recent pleasurable visit to the town
we were gratifed to witness the proficiency
making in the science of vocal music by the
choir of sweet singers attached to the Ger
man Reformed Church. We were also much
pleased to observe the preparation made by
the pupils of the Schools in charge of Miss
Rinker and Prof Grim, for an examination te
be had at an early day.
These indications are exceedingly auspi
cious and creditable, and we rate them witt
no ordinary pride and satisfaction. Indeed
we see much every where in our great county
to commend We are or the advancing line
of improvement in all respects, notwitstand

,t EDINBURG, VA, Feb. 9th, 1869.
Mr.. Ednor:-News once from our town, if
it was a long time in coming. We have reg
ularly organized Fire Company, started under
most encouraging omens. A few days since,
the young men of our town, met in the store
of our friend Riddlebe1ger, for the purpose of
electing officers and effecting permanent or
ganization of a Fire Company R.C. Bragonier,
ESQ.,, was called to preside over the meeting,
and G. NJ. Miller was chosen Secretary. The
officers elect are H. H. Riddlebarger, Captain
Robert Ruby and Green Swami, Lieutenents
Orderly, VIM. Riddlebarger As we have an
Engine, which is thought to be an effective
one, in small way, we hope hereafter to be
| prepared for any emergency that may happen
| us in the way of fire. We have long felt that
we should have such thing as a Fire Com
pany, and now that we have both, we feel
much more satisfied than heretofore.
By the way, Mr.. HERALD, we are to have a
public installation of the officers elect in the
Royal Arch Chapter, here, on the 18th inst,
and accompanying it a dinner and at night
a Supper. The proceeds of these festivities
are to be applied to reftting and furnishing
| our Masonic Hall. The Masonic Hall is, as
many of your readers are aware, in the third
story of the "Murry House," and now pre-
sents most cheerful and pleasant appearance,
and when the proceeds of the coming 10th are
| applied to its further reftting, we shall have
| a Hall worthy of the name of the glorious old
| institution of which we are so justly proud.
| The last few days Of snow and cold prevent
ed the viewers of the Columbia Furnace Road
from being prepared to submit their report to
our Court now in session. This Committee
composed of E. B. Whissen, Eli Coffelt and
Israel Allen-have already been over the road,
and we believe, have selected as good route
as could have been chosen. Besides, these
gentlemen are in earnest, and evinee desire
to carry through this project, and in this they
have the sympathy and encouragement of all
our citizens. We must have this road, and to
this end we are directing such an amount of
influence as will carry it through in spite of
/ all THE opposition that can be marshslied. We
are surprised to hear of the very decided op-
position made by some Of the land owners

HA- The bridge, just completed over Mill
Creek at Mount Jackson, on the Valley Turn
pike, is one of superior workmanship. The
span is one hundred and thirty feet.
The work was done by the famous bridge
builder, Capt. John Woods, who has not
his equal in the State of Virginia. He in
tends erecting a bridge across South River,
with one hundred and forty feet. The
bridge will have double track with three
arches, that is, two on the sides and one in
the centre; the tracks passing on either side of
the middle arch.

nag What noise few fire crackers will
make, but some times they will fizzle, and go
out without having the desired effect. Such
was the case on last Saturday. The tow Il

for violating an ordinance prohibiting the

proved that they had permission from the
town officers to sell them, terrible fire works.

Mr.. JACKSON. Va. Feb. 9th. 1869,


Mr.. Editor A general dearth of news in
this vicinity has kept my pen idle for some
time, and only resume it now to give you
some assurance that your correspondent has
everywhere at this season, but our enterpris-
ing merchants have been enjoying fair
share of trade, and have no cause to complain
of any thing, save great scarcity of money.
Our town though not on the improve at
present, is, we think, holding its own very
well. Mr.. John Woods has nearly completed
a most substantial bridge over the creek, of
about double the length of the old one, and
entirely out of reach Of the dangers to which
the old bridge was liable.
Our neighbour, Timberville, is moving in
the matter of bridge. They have some 1000
dollars subscribed, and hope to have enough
added to that amount to build good bridge
over the river at that point. Messrs NJ. H.
See and VIM. A. Pence, two very energetic
gentlemen, have been mostly instrumental in
bringing this desirable object so near its con-
Summation.
The "New movement" has not disturbed our
citizens much. Politics indeed, seems to be
almost buried subject, and if you Editors
did not remind US occasionally of the fact, we
would nearly forget al about Underwood
Constitutions, Radical Congress, and the I'M
mortal mind in the bargain. Our people are
more concerned now about monav maftars
than any thing else. The stringency in that
market is very decided. If the new movement
would operate as a laxative in that direction
it would find great many ardent advocates.
The scarcity of money, however, does not
seem to affect the matrimonial market, unless
its tendency has been to produce contrary
affect. The mania upon this subject is una
b ated. While we are far from being an apollo
your stole, Fas, and would not like to see the
army of old maids increased by single re-
cruit, yet, we fear that in this general hymeni-
al revival some may ''marry in haste and re-
pent at leisure. ''But as old ladies always
say ''there is nothing like it,"
Liberal preparations are making to enter
tain the members and visitors to the Confer
ence of the United Brethren, which common
ces, we understand, on Wednesday next, the
10th, inst, at Otterbein Chapel, two miles
from this place. This denomination is in a
most fourishing condition in this county. It's
membership is composed of many of our
most worthy and substantial farmers and
others, and, during this Conference year,
several revivals, under the preaching of Rev.
Mr.. Freed, have resulted in large additions To
their number. We shall try to give you a
synopsis of their proceedings, and such other
details as may be of interest.
Yours

Be warned in time. Diseases like Indigestion
and Dyspepsia are not to be trifed with There
is such thing being too late in these matters.
Inham alton, or Seirrhus Cancer, or some other
dangerous disease may ensue. when all restora-
tives no matter how potent, would be Intellectual.
Do not delay then. When the symptoms of Dys-
pepsia are first experienced resort at to the
great res :orative medicine, FL S Z 7 7 Err S
STOMACH BITTERS; and you will be safe.
But few disorders involve greater suffering, and,
if not in itself immediately dangerous. 1t is the
source of many deadly maladies. Even if it did
not tend to greater evil, the mental and physical
misery it produces is alone sufficient reason why
no pains should be spared to prevent or cure it..
In no country on the face of the globe is it so
completely domesticated as in our owl, where it
is found in nearly every household. HOSTEL
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS are universally
conceded to be the sovereign remedy for this an
noying disease, as they act directly upon the d-
gestive organs, correct and tone the stomach, and
give renewed vitality to the system. Acting de
hghtfully upon the nerves and soothing the brain
renders them eficacious as mental medicine
as we'll as genial stomachic. If taken as pre-
ventive, they will be found particularly well suit
ed to the diseases arising from the unhealthy sea-
of autumn, and their use will prevent the
creeping, unpleasant sensation often complained
of when the chills are stealing slowly upon the
patient.
