REMARKS.

The slight improvement IN prices last week has
had the effect OF materially increasing the supply.
The number over the Northern road to-day was
$50 in place of GA last week and there was q re-
port that more than three times as many more
cattle were expected this week. Early this morn
ing however trade was very fair and the first Of
the oxen on the earliest trains were sold at about
last weeks prices, but by the time ali.the trans
were in the buyers began to hold off and trade
slackened considerably. The seller of pair Of
oxen disposed of early was offered 500 before
noon to cancel the bargain. Lambert Hastings
sold oxen to Mr.. Allison, one pair Of which
fatted by Mr.. Leland OF Barton, and which took
the premium at the Orleans County Fair,at axe.

Burgiar;es at yergennes.

On Monday night the store Of J. 8.
Hiekoek in Vergennes was entered By
burglars, the safe blown open and about
$500 in money distracted, together with
some 12 or Is watches. The same night
the store of Parker, Booth & Co, in the
same place, was entered, their safe opened
and $500 in money taken therefrom, with
some silks from the shelves The bur-
glaries were discovered, by the anaprudence
of the burglars early after their depreda-
tions, and the burglars traced to the de-
pot Deputy Sheriff George Skif of
Monkton was on the sleeping train out of
this point, and on reaching Yergennes,
discovering that burglars had been at
work Instead of getting off and going to
his home he retook the train, where he
found couple of strangers, who had got
on board at Vergennes, one of whom got
away, but the other of whom was found
to have the watches stolen from Hickok's
store in his possession, and considerable
snm of money, though he had previously
declared that for want of stamps" he had
rode on top of the cars from Rutland to
Vergennes This statement did not "go
down." and Sheriff Skif took him into
custody, after which it was discovered
two accomplices were ON the train with
him, but who, on learning the difficulty
into which their opal " had got, like the
Arabs,
.tFnlded their tents and silently stole away"

THE LIVING MACHINE.
Injure the main spring of a watch and every
portion of the works becomes disordered. The
human stomach is to the human system what
that elastic piece of metal is to a chronometer It
influences the action of the other organs and con-
trolls, to d certain extent the whole living ma
chine The comparison may be carried further:
for as the weakness or other imperfections of the
main spring is indicated on the face of the time
piece, so also is the weakness or other disorder of
the stomach betrayed by the face of the invalid.
The complexion is sallow or faded, the eyes are
deficient in lustre and intelligence and there is
worn, anxious expression in the whole counte.
nance which tell as plainly written words could
do, that the great nourishing organ whose office
it is to minister to the wants of the body and to
sustain and renew all its parts is not performing
all its duty. 1t requires renovating and regulat-
ing, and to accomplish this end Hostetter's Bit
tiers may be truly said to be the thing needful.
The broken main spring of watch may be re-
placed by new one, but the stomach can ouly
be repaired and strengthened, and this is one of
the objects of the famous vegetable restorative
which for eighteen years has been waging a sue
ceseful contest with dyspepsia in all climates. AS
a specific for indigestion it stands alone When
the resources of the pharmacopoeia have been ex-
hausted, without, at best, doing more than miti-
eating the complaint, course of this wholesome
and palatable, yet powerful, stomachic effects a
perfect and permanent cure. In all cases of dys-
pepsia the liver is more or less dsordered, and
upon this important gland, as we'll as upon the
stomach and bowels the Bitters act with singular
iistinetness, regulating and reinvigorating every
secretive and assimila.ing organ on which bodily
and mental health depend.

Philadelphia Politics.
Special Despatch to The EOe'sing Telegraph
/ WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Certain politicians
of your city are endavoring to have certain ad-
ditional men appointed at the Navy Yard and
in the Custom House previous to the election.
The authorities here are rather Indifferent about
the matter, and dispose of all applications by
saying that there are no appropriations for a
larger force. As it is, there Is some talk of re-
ducing the number of employees at the Navy
Yard.
The United states and Prussia.
Assistant Secretary of State Davis refuses to
give any information relative to the telegraphic
despatch by cable to the effect that protests had
been sent from Washington to Berlin in favor of
peace The understanding is that the Govern
ment. through Mr.. Bancroft, Minister to Berlin,
is under instructions from Mr.. Fish, to feel the
Prussian Government as to how offers of media
ton from the United States would be received
1t is pretty certain, however, that nothing like
a protest has gone from this Government to
Berlin.
