WiIfed Down.

Ask the man who complains of "wilting
down" in torrid weather what he has done
to sustain his system under the extra strain
imposed on his vitality. He may tell you
that he has tried variety Of cathartics to
purify his blood and brighten his spirits.
Under such treatment, ofcourse, hisstrength
has given way, and his energies have be-
come exhausted. What he requires is a
restorative, and depletant. His blood is
thin; his nerves have lost their natural
tension, and nature demands to be reno
waited and reinforced The means Is within
the reach of all. For nearly a score of
years Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been
building up broken constitutions, bracing
and Strengthening attenuated frames, and
affording comfort, ease, and hope to thou
sands. AS a preventive of the epidemics
which make such havoc with the health of
the inhabitants of new settlements, this
famous tonic is certainly without rival
Perhaps the principal portion OF its world
wide fame is attributable TO its astonishing
cures OF dyspepsia, and all forms OF indi-
gestion. But these are not q moiety OF its
triumphs. All the types of biliouSneSS
yield TO its persistent use. 1t is regulating
medicine Of the highest order; and its et-
feet upon the secretions, when irregular, Is
most salutary.
Imposition OF the grossest character is
sought to be practiced upon the community
by vendors, who recommend under the
name of "bitters," fiery compounds Of
dangerous character, which they attempt to
substitute for the great nationaltonic. Shun
all such noStrums, and see that you have
the genuine Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
properly authenticated by label, name and
stamp, and sold in bottles only.

Robbery.

Ga Thursday night last the bakery
and confectionery store of Mr.. c. Huth,
on Ashfield street, was robbed of sew
eral dollars worth of eatables. Itseems
from what we can learn that one OF the
party must have concealed himself in
the house, and after all was quiet
opened the door to his accomplice.
Fortunately but a small amount Of
money was in the drawer, which, Of
course, they took, together with bas-
ket full Of confectioneries.
On the same night the shoe shop Of
Mr.. Jenkins, near the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania railroad bridge, was bro
ken into and robbed of several pair Of
boots and shoes. The door was forced
open with a piece of iron which was
found in the yard.
Robberies are becoming too frequent
in our midst, and the authorities should
at once set to work and by some means
ferret out these thieves and have them
punished. 1t is evident we have some
local professional thief" in our town
and SO long as no efforts are made
toward finding them out, we may ex-
pect to hear of their depredations.-

APowERFUL illustration OF the growth
of the lecture business in the past few
years is given in the average annual
incomes of the two most prominent
women lecturers of the day-Annie
Dickinson and Olive Logan. Miss
Dickinson states that her income has
averaged $1,000 year since che began
to lecture, which, we believe, was eleven
years ago. Until Miss Logan made her
appearance as a lecturer, Miss Dickin-
son stood unrivaled in her sphere, and
it was feared by the friends Of the latter
at first that Miss Logan's success would
tend to injure Miss Dickinson's business.
The contrary has been the case. Miss
Dickinson's income last season was
$4,000, larger than ever before; and
Miss Logan's income has averaged
$4,000 year, since she began to lee
ture, three years ago-exactly double
Miss Dickinson's average These facts
speak volumes in proof Of the recent
growth of the lecture business, for Miss
Dickinson had the field almost to her
self as woman lecturer for some eight
years of career, while Miss Logan S
triumphant success has been the signal
for the entry OF more than a hundred
women into this field of effort, and
many Of them are successful also. Miss
Logan and Miss Dickinson still lead the
procession, so far as popularity and
resultant dollars are concerned, but
there are fully a score of women lee
turers, of more or less ability, who are
successful to the tune of $4,000 to $4,000

SerIOus Accident.

On Monday last serious and almost
fatal accident occurred at the MAR
rows" near town. A young Mr.. Bond
and sister, son and daughter of the late
Richard Bond, together with little
child, were driving along the "Narrows"
in buggy, when the horse became
frightened, and after running short
distance, jumped over the steep bank
and precipitated the whole party down
to the waters edge. The accident was
discovered at once, and the unfortunate
persons removed to the Monkey House,
where the services of DR.. Edmiston
were called. Miss Bond was uncon-
scious for some time and sustained a
severe wound under the chin. The
shoulder Of Mr.. Bond was dislocated,
but the child Providentially escaped
with mere scratch. The escape OF
the whole party from death was almost
miraculous. Weston Democrat

1t was supposed that with the sup

Raleigh has the repute of being a

The Democrats OF the representative
district embracing Washington, Beaver
and Butler counties in Pennsylvania
have nominated as their candidates for
the Legislature, DR.. E. 7. COOPER and
Capt. HUGH KEYS, OF Washington
county, DR.. w. B. DUNLAP, OF Beaver
county, and DR.. JOSEPH LUEK, OF But
Ter county. These counties were
thrown together by one Of the most
outrageous gerrymanders that has ever
been perpetrated upon the people Of
Pennsylvania. The Radical majority
in Beaver is calculated upon to over
come the Democratic voice OF Wash
ington and Butler.
We note that our old friend +. NJ.
GIBSON, Esq, formerly Of Washington,
but more recently residing in Pitts
burgh, has been nominated by the
Democrats of Allegheny county as a
candidate for the State Senate. There
is probably no hope Of his election, but
his nomination is well deserved honor
to an able and brilliant man, and Allie
gbeny county is very likely to do worse
than make him her representative.

BUTLER, the beast, will raise the mis-
chief with his party if he cannot be
silenced He tells us in his last speech
that the annual expense Of running the
government of Massachusetts is nearly
one million dollars more than it was
ten years ago. while the extraordinary
expense created by the war has run up
to over six millions per annum. IfBen
is ever provoked into telling what he
knows of Federal Government manage
ment the Harrisburg plunderers will
pass into obscurity as deserving of no
higher distinction than that of being
plundering and petty larcenists.

Resigned.

Rev. John Woofter, for many years
past, pastor of the Baptist Church at
this place, rendered his resignation to
the church at its last meeting. Age and
the fatigue incident to travelling so far,
was the cause. The church decided not
to take action thereon until October. If
given up by his congregation, it will be
with heartfelt reluctance. Uncle
John" Woofter has a hold upon the
hearts of all denominations in this
community which it will be hard in
deed to sever Weston Democrat.

ONE of the curiosities Of the recent
election is the fact that Lewis county,
which, according to the Radicals. was
the very centre of the internal i'm
provement sentiment and was to be
checkered all over with railroads built
at the expense of the State in case the
Convention should be held, has given
majority Of 100 against the Convention.
If anything were needed to show how
utterly foolish the assertions Of the Rad
icals were in this respect during the late
campaign, this vote OF Lewis county
supplies the illustration.

THE CONVENTION.

The following table of returns is cor
rected in accordance with the latest and
most trustworthy reports we have re-
ceived. We have separate returns
from some Of the counties that are
grouped together in the table but not
from all, and the probabilities are that
the aggregate majority in those coun-
ties will be found to exceed the figures
given. 1t is not likely that the MAORI
ties reported in the other counties will
be much changed by the official count
for most Of them are already known to
be accnrata
