A Word For Local Newspapers.

We take the following from the New
York Tribune. 1t is true, and we COM
mend it to every one who has IN interest
in the place where he resides:
-"Nothing is more common than to hear
people talk of what they pay for adver-
Using, &c., as so much given in charity
Newspapers by enhancing the value of the
property in the neighborhood and giving
localities in which they are published, a
reputation abroad, benefit all such, partic-
ularly if they are merchants or real estate
owners, thrice the amount yearly of the
meager sum they pay for their support.
Besides, every public spirited citizen has
a laudible pride of having a paper of which
he is not ashamed, even though he should
pick it up in New York or Washington.
A good-looking, thriving sheet helps prop
erty, gives q character to locality, and is
in many respects a desirable public con-
venience. If from any cause the matter
in the local or editorial column should not
be to your standard, do not cast it aside
and pronounce it good for nothing, until
satisfied that there has been no more labor
bestowed upon it thapis paid for. If you
want a good readable sheet, it must be
supported, not in a spirit of charity, either,
but because you feel a necessity to sup
port it. The local prees is the power that
moves the people"

sweewater Union Institute.

Being absent the latter part of last week We
did not have the pleasure of witnessing the clos
ing exercises tof Prof. Crawfords' school, but
We have been furnished the following by one
o. Q who witnessed the examination, which no
doubt does the subject justice:
Mr.. EDIroR: Having witnessed Prof. Craw-
ford's examination, which took place at the
Sweetwater Institute on Friday the 18th inst,
it affords us great pleasure to be able to speak
in terms of high CONNIE ndation of the rapid
advances which the students have made in the
various branches usually taught prepar-
atory 10 entering college-reading, writing,
Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geography,
Mathematics, Philosophy, Rhetoric, Chemistry,
Physiology and the Latin Language. The ex-
animation was thorough in all the branches
taught, and the answers prompt, and were more
creditable on account that there was no precon-
,erted arrangement by which the students were
prepared to answer the questions intended to be
propounded, consequently they were made to
explore the whole field instead of giving it a SUI
p~er6ciaI glance.
The closing exercises took place in the large
Masonic Hall politely rendered by Mrs. Cook to
Prof. C.s' school, where a large and appreciativC
audience assembled to witness the delivery Of
well selected orations and original compositions
that were handsomely spoken, and applaudcd by
an admiring audience. Additional interest wal
given to the occasion by the presence of Mrs
Cooks Female School who discOursed sweet mu,
sic, vocal and instrumental, in the intervals
between theoratiOns delivered by the young gen,
tlemen.
At the earnest solicitation of friends Prof. c
has consented to return to this place the let oil
September to resume his labors in the Sweetwa-
ter Institute, and as arrangements will be made
by the citizens.t to. take boarders on reasonable
terms, it is hoped that parents and guardians
will avail Themselves Of this opportunity tt
school their children under the instruction O.
a heightened christian gentleman who is fully
competent to impart to them all he PROCESSES t
teach. yE ClTlzEN.

Our National Disordors-Dr. Ropack's


The American stomach is n tormcnting organ.
1t is generally out of order. The reason is obvi-
GUS. The driving man of business has not time,
or will not take time properly to masticatc his'
fool. He bolts it, and as bad habits ARC catchT
ing, all classes follow his example. Hence Dys-
pepsia, with all its complications-hence lndi-
gestion, Liver Complaint, and disorders of the
bowels in all their various phases. Againstthese
and Il hundred other complaints the Scandinavia
an Blood Pills and Blood Purifier are waging an
extcrminating warfare. The success of these
medicines has been astonishing, even in an age
of scientific miracles. They do not alleviate,
they extinguish q disorder. The agony, the fc-
YER, the debility, the dependency, which char
%acterizc affection of the digestive and s%ecretiyc
organs, vanish under the influence of these pre-
parations. The Constitution itself seems to ac-
quire new energy under their operation. See
advertisement. june9-lt

tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not, know that it cures theirneighbors and friendsj

thousands ofcertifcates of their remarkable cures
of the following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need not

in all climates; containing neither calOmel nor any
deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them
ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to take, while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arse from
their use in any quantity.

should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom'
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, RiIiOus Headache, Sick Head
ache Jaundlice or Green sickness, BIZ.
iOus Collie and Bilious Feyers, they should
be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distinctions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or DiarrhOea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, GOut, Gravel, Pail
pitatiOn Of the Heart, Pain i'm tho
Side, Back and LOins, they should be contin.
uously taken, as required, TO change the diseased
action Of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For DrOpsy and DrOpsical Swellings
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression q large dose should DO
taken as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
AS q Dinner PHI, take one or two Pts to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach ana
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
aud invigorates the system. Hence it is often. adj
vantageOus where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that q
dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly bet
