A HAIRY TME.-The wedding OF
our friend and fellow-workman, James
Lewis, ESQ, Of the HtelHgenccr office,
at the residence Of Capt. Frank Bond,
on Wheeling Island, last night, was one
of the pleasantest affairs OF the season.
Capt. Bond and his excellent lady had
thrown open their house for the friends
of the happy couple, and they are le-
gion, yet nothing was wanting or left
undone that could add to the festivities
or happiness of the guests. About II
o'clock, Ed. Young, particular friend
of Mr.. Lewis, engaged Vaas' brass
band and gave the happy couple sere.
made. As jim" had long defed Gu
pid's darts, and had allowed his name
to be inscribed on the roll OF old bach
elors, the band first played "Oh, amt l
Glad to Get Out Of the Wilderness"
following with Put Me in my Little
Bed" and other popular melodies. 1t
was jolly time. Now, that Mr.. Lewis
is locked up in the chases OF matrimony,
may no lys mar the happiness of his
fair bride and himself, or anything arise
to destroy the clear impression they have
made on each other, but may their lives
be 6ordered by roses until his mould
becomes pi and his dead form is honored
by an imposing stone.

A Few Woods ON CouSrERFE1rs.

A FEW WORDS ON CoUSTERFEIrs.-
There is much counterfeit money in cir
culation, some OF which occasionally
finds its way into our city and is impos-
ed on unsuspecting business men. The
notes of New York banks are popular
with counterfeiters, who, after initiating
them, have comparatively little difficult
ty in passing them throughout the
country. The United States Treasury
notes are also iavorites with counter
letters. The designs of these notes are
30 intricate that imitation is difficult and
is only attempted by the most expert
engravers. A good counterfeit of a
Treasury note, when once produced,
will, it is stated, circulate more freely
than any other description OF notes
Many Of the issues of the Treasury
notes have been initiated, but the most
prominent counterfeit is the twenty dol.
lar note of the issue OF March 10, 1862,
the workmanship being admirable, and
the engraving and the printing being
in many respects equal to the original.
In reference to the ten dollar treasury
notes, it is stated that counterfeits oftwo
issues have been in circulation for some
time, and that recently third plate,
which is considered very dangerous, has
been detected. This latter plate is said
to be fac-simile OF the genuine, and ex-
perts, it is reported, have been deceived
by the impressions, which are very per-
feet There are also counterfeits Of
fifty dollar treasury notes in circulation,
and of twenty dollar notes Of the issue
of March 3, 1868. The above are the
most dangerous counterfei's in circula'
ton, but denominations Of ones, twos,
fives and tens OF the legal tender notes
have also been initiated, but the coun-
terfeits have been executed by indiffer-
engravers, and are readily detected.

Editors of the Register:

persons are the victims OF dyspepsia or IN

would not be understood to say that any
one regards dyspepsia with favor, or ieeis
disposed to rank IL among the Injuries OF

enced its torments would scout such an
idea. ALI dread it, and would gladly dis
pense with its unpleasant familiaritles.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under all the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack OF dyspepsia,
or his jollity would have speedily forsaken
him. Men and women sometimessuffer its
tortures uncomplainingly, but whoever

or all the multifarious diseases TO which
the human system is liable, there is perhaps
no one so generally prevalent as dyspepsia.

the Globe saloon, on August Goth, before
Squire Gillespy, yesterday, was held
in the debtors room Of the Jail and oc

and was continued after dark to give
Quinlan an opportunity to get all the

The Squire thought that no new fact

A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.

But II Is not our iRtention 10 discant on
the horrors OF Dyspepsia. To describe them
truthully is simply an impoSsibility, but II
is possible to point out remedy. We have
said that dyspepsia is perhaps The most uni
versal of human diseases. This Is emphat-
ically the case in the United State. Whether
this general prevalence is due TO the charac-
ter Of the food, the method OF its prepare
ton, or the hasty manner i'll which II Is
usually swallowed, is not our province TO
explain. The great fact with which We are
called TO deal Is this:

LET IT BE REMEMBERED,

first of all, that HOOFLAND'S GERMAN
BITrERS is not a rum beverage.
They are not alcoholic in any sense of the
term. They are composed wholly of the
pure juice or vital principle OF roots. This
is not mere assertion. The extracts from
which they are compounded are prepared
by one OF the ableSt of German chemists.
Unlike any other Btters in the market,
they are wholly free from spirituous ingre-
dents. The objections which hold with so
much force against preparations OF this
class, namely-lhat a desire Tor intoxicating
drinks is stimulated by their use, are not
valid in the case OF the German BitterS. SO
far from encouraging or intoxicating taste
or desire for inebriatlng beverages, 1t may be
confidently asserted that their tendency is
in Numerically opposite direction. Their
effects can be

Roman drama Of Damon and Pythias
On the story of this play, the wonderful
friendship existing between Damon and
Pythias, a friendship so strong that it
led Pythias to give himself as a hostage
for his friend Damon, who had been ar
rested and sentenced to death by the
tyrant Dyonisius, that Damon might see
his wife and child before he died, the
Order Of K. Of P. is founded. Mr.:
Buchanan is said to be the best repre-
sentative Of the character of Damon
now living. The novelty Of the play,
and the interest felt in its associations
will, doubtless. draw out an immense
audience.
