Gard from James Armstrong.

TTIIE undersigned would hereby respectfully
l. beg leave to return his sincere thanks to the
Democratic and Conservative voters OF New Cas-
tie county for their partiality in selecting him as
their candidate for the Sherfnlty, from among so
many other gentlemen, whose names were pre-
sehed to them on Saturday last any one OF
whom would have done honor alike to the Office
and the great party to which they so long and
faithfully adhered.
1t would afford him great pleasure to visit his
friends in every Hundred in the county and to
tender to cach personally, his thanks for the
honor conferred upon him but, as circumstan-
ces, which are best understood by those who are
most intimately acquainted with him, render this
impracticabe, he adopts this as the only avala-
BILE mode of expressing his gratitude to his te-
low-ctizens for their past support and OF solicit
ing a continuation of the same at the ensuing
general election, pledging himself, that, should
he be so fortunate to be elected to the said Of
fee, he will discharge its duties with honesty, ii
deity, and to the best Of his humble ability.

How CABLE MESSAGES ARE TRANSMIT
TED.-The Journal of the Telegraph thus
describes the manner in which European
news is sent over the cable:
.' Here is a man sitting in a dark room
at Hearts Content The ocean cable ter
inmates here. A fine wire attached there
to is made to surround two small cores Of
soft iron. As the electric wave, produced
by few pieces of copper and zinc at
Nalentia, passes through the wire, these
cores become magnetic enough to move
the slightest object. A looking glass, half
an inch in diameter, is fixed on bar of iron
one-tenth of an inch square and half an
inch long. On this tiny glass lamp is
made to glare SO that its light is reflected
on tablet on the wall. The language of
the cable is denoted by the shifting of this
reflected light from side to side. Letter
by letter is thus expressed in this fitting
idiom, in utter silence, on the wall. There
is no record made by the machine except
as the patient watcher calls out to a COM
rade the translated flashes as they come
and which he records. 1t seems like ;
miracle of patience. There is something
of awe creeps over US, as we see the evi
dance of human touch 5000 miles away

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through u long
series of years, and among most OF the races OF
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children, it Is
at tho same time the most e0cctual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gcrous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, 1t should
be kept on hand In every family, and indeed as all
arc sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
curable still great numbers Of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOraI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to 1t. When MOTH
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Peo-
toraI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
Cureu Dy IL.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pect0rdI in small and frequent doses.
For u Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times n day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease Is broken up.
For Infucnza, when it affects the throat or
| lungs, take the same course
For WhooIin1 Cough, give small doses three
| or four times day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
| No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
| raj on hand to protect them, in case of attack,
from the above complaints. Its timely use often
spares the patient great amount of suffering and
risk, which he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid. Parents keep iin your houses
for the cXigencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved it.
So generally are its virtues known, that we need
not publish certificates of them here, or do mort
than assure the public that the best qualities it eve
possessed are strictly maintained.

When the evening shadows
Lengthen from the west,
And the sun sets grandly,
Clad in flaming vest,
Fl ,ating o'er the uplands,
Signing through the dells,
Welcome is the music,
Of the Village Bells.
A'lbcside is silent,
Save the lowing herds,
Aud the tinkling sheep hell,
And the choiring BIDS.
D,.i;y work is over,
And the bosom swcils,
With new joy to hear
The sweet Village Bells.
Holy thoughts are rising,
High emotions cone,
With the rest and quiet
Ofa country home;
Blessed recollection
Moiling care dispels,
Thoughts of love are kindlcd
BY the Village Bells.
And we think of weddings
Byo gone-long ago;
Oft-remembered christenings,
In our memories glow;
Happy deaths of triumph,
And heart thrilling knells,
All come back again
With the Village Bells;
Ringing out so softly
This still autumn night,
Yet no tinge of fsadness
CLOUDS ur hearts delight;
Hlllowed tone so mellow
All our SORROW quclls,
Whispers Of affection
Com. with Village Bells.
Ringing out so sweetly.
Plaintiye, pure and clear,
Gentle as mothers voice,
Loving as her tear
Likh mountain streamlet,
Singing through the fells,
Kindly influences breathe

THE WAR SYSTEM OF so CENTU.
RIES AGn.


In the examples of Prussia in her
war of 1866 against Austria, and in
her present war against France, mod
ern warfare, in one respect at least,
has returned to the system which
prevailed among the nations Of Wes-
tern Asia nearly three thousand
years agO-that is, the arming aud
marching to the field Of the able
bodied men of the nation ca nsqsSe,
and the settlement of the dispute in
vOlved in a single campaign Thus in
Holy Writ, in the first book of the,
Jewish Chronicles, in campaign Of
that nation against the Syrians, when
King David was informed Of their
movements che gathered all Israel,
and passed over Jordan, and came
upon them, and setthe battle in array
against them. So when David had
put the battle in array against the Syri-
ans, they fought with him. But the
Syrians fled before Israel; and David
slew of the SyTians seven thousand
men which fought in chariOts, and
forty thousand fOOtmen, and killed
ShOphaeh, the captain Of the host
And when the servants of HadareZer
saw that they were put to the worse
before Israel, they made peace with
David, and became his servants"
As David, in that decisive cam
paign against the Syrians, gathered
all Israel, and passed over Jordan"
so King William, in his campaign
against Franc 2, has gathered all Ger
many and passed over the Rhine
Thus, with all our modern improve
meuts, we find that modern warfare
is returning to the system which pre-
vailed some thirty centuries ago in
Western Asia, when Europe, as far as
known to the civilized world Of that
day, was known only as a wilderness
Of savages,
