News from France.

M. Jules Favre, as spokesman for the inhab-
itants of Paris expresses heartfelt gratitude to
the Lord Mayor Of London for the magnificent
gifts of food, received in the starving city at a
most opportune moment, but at the same time
assures him that the distress still continues.
The information concerning the French cleo
ton is indefinite. The election of M. Theirs,
in the department of Seine, is considered a
marked success for the Oreanist party. Gen
erals Trochu and LIE Flo are announced as cleo
ted from Finisterre. Returns at Versailles
from eleven departments indicate the election
Of Bonapartist, Orleanist and clerical candi-
dates, with the exception of few republicans.
The elections at Brest and Havre have resulted
in the success of the republican (Gambetta)
tickets. 1t is likely that the limit of the ar
mistice will be extended, to admit of thorough
work in the proper canvassing of returns and
the preliminaries of meeting and fair delib-
Grafton by the Assembly.
The Germans are organizing an imperial
army, which will necessitate some change in
the organization Of the several armies 10 the
field. The war contribution exacted of Paris
of zoo, 100000 francs, is TO be apportioned
three-fourths to North and fourth to South
Germany. The delivery of arms of the Pa
risian troops, at Paris, commenced on the 7th.
On Tuesday so field guns and 100000 rifles
were delivered at Forts Ivry and Vanvres

bility Of hostile demonstrations on the occasion

UnanswerabIe Arguments.

Established facts are silent arguments when
neither pen nor tongue can shake, and 1t Is upon
established facts that the reputation OF Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, as health-preserving
elixir, and wholesome and powerful remedy, Is
based When witnesses come forward IN crowds,
year after year, and reiterate the same statements
in relation to the beneficial effects of medicine
upon themselves, disbelief in its efficacy is liter
ally impossible. The credentials of this une-
qualled tonic and Alternative, extending over a
period of nearly twenty years, include individ-
uals of every class, and residents of every cline,
and refer to the most prevalent among the COM
plants which af1ct and harrass the human fam
lily. Either multitude of people, strangers to
each other, have annually been seized with an
insane and motiveless desire to deceive the pub
lie, or Hostetters Bitters, for no less than fifth
of a century, have been atfording such relief to
sufferers from indigestion, fever and ague, bill
iousness, general debility and nervous disorders,
as no other preparation has ever impaired. To-
day, while the eyes of the reader are upon these
very lines, tens Of thousands of persons of both
sexes are relying upon the Bitters as sure de-
fence against the ailments which the present
season engenders, and their confidence is not
misplaced. The local potions which interested
dealers sometimes endeavor to foist upon the
sick in its stead, are everywhere meeting the
fate that is due to fraud and imposture, while the
demand for the great vegetable specific is con-
stantly increasing. fe7-1m
4 GREAT BENEFIT TO THE Con-
IA SIlTUTlON.-At this particular season,
when the weather is as changoable as the wind
when the most robust costitutions are attacked
and undermined and when feeble systems are
shattered and unnerved. it is absolutely necessa-
ry that scientific principles should be brought to
the aid OF Nature In order to avert the cOntrac-
ton of those diseases that usually become seated
and fixed from the continuous changes referred
to- OF all the discoveries yet made, none seem
to answer the purpose so we'll as BAKERS BIT
TIERS, for while other remedies have been tried
and failed, this medicine has proved to be the
only panacea for Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Gen
eral Debility, Coli Sour Stomachs, Colds, and
Consumption in ito inclpient stages. Prepared
solely OF vegetable extracts, and SO admirably
compounded as to act at once upon the Liver,
Digestive organs, Blood and Mind, it drives out
Impurities, increases the Appetite, improves the
Digestion, strengthens the Lungs and so tones
up the inner man as to render it impervious to
ordinary Colds. As q family medicine, it has no
equal, and needs only to be tried to recommend

IRON COMPANY CHARTERED.-Judge Nc
Laughlin, of Rockbridge, has granted charter
of incorporation to "Burkes Iron Works Com
pany'' of this place, and the charter has been
received for record by the Secretary of the Com

Burke, President; VIM. Shut James A Moore
A. P. Beirne, r. NJ Catlett, VIM G.. Eskridge
James W. Crawford, Direct ors; A. P Beirne
Secretary and Treasurer. The capital stock is to
be not less than SIS, 900, nor more than 5000 900,
divided into shares of 800 each. The company
is to carry on a general foundry and machine
busin ess.
We hope that this incorporated company will
meet with abundant success and that it will
prove thel pioneer of other companies organ
lied to prosecute various branches of mechanical
business
We hope to see factories of different kinds es-
tablished here. All kinds of machinery and
farming implements should be made here. This
Valley furnishes market for vast number of
such things, and the actories should be near the
market The thousands of dollars annually sent
to the North for such things should be expended
at home
This will not. and cannot, be the case unless we
have factories for the manufacture of them es-
tabshed in the Valley. There is no better blaze
than this for the establishment of such factories.
We hope that it will become, before a great
while, distinguished for its factories of vari
Gus kinds as it is, at present, for its schools.
