DEATH or SAMUEL HARPER, EsQ.-lt IS
with the deepest sadness that we announce tie
death of Mr. Samuel Harper, of this city. a

business men by reason Of his high intelligence,
pure integrity, and great energy Of character.
His many social qualities endeared him to the
hearts Of an EXTENDED circle Of intimate friends,
and his genial aud popular manners won for
him the esteem Of all who knew him. He has
been cut down in the very prime Of life and
usefulness and his death is the community's
loss.-U Wheeling Register 2lM.

The Ensjr,niiieS OF Age.

Decrepitude is the natural accompaniment
OF old age, but il may DO ameliorated, and the
period of entire helplessness long postponed by
the iudiSious use of healthful stimulant
Physicians fully aware of this fact, usually
recon mend moderate stimulation when the
strength and vigor of maturity have been sus-
pended by the feebleness and prostration which
are the inevitable results Of declining years.
Port wine gin, brandy, and other liquors arc
often prescribed by medical men for aged per-
sors, but the impulse which ferncnted and
distilled liquors give TO the circulation, and
the energy they seem to impart, is transitory,
unless the alcoholic principle is modified and
qualified by the presence of medicinal tonics
and inVigOrants. OF all the combinations of
difiusive stimuli with the juices or herbs, roots
and banks that have ever been administered TO
the aged and iutiTm, with the view of sustaining
their waning strength, cheering their dropping
spirits and relieving tine aches and pains TO
which they are subjected, none has been found
so eflicaCiOus. so agreeable and so permanent i'll
itS effects as Hostetters Stomach Bitters. The
difference sctwcen the effect Of the Bitters ana
that of a mere eNctant, however pure. is tho
same a. between the effect of a sudden and
momentary application of excessive force to
