A new paper with the above title will be
issued on the 4th instant, under the manage
ment Of Colonel E. NJ. Yerger & Co. The
publishers, in their prospectus, say, eve have
determined after careful survey of the field,
to establish an snddulteyated Democratic pa
per, which, while it clings to the great princi-
Piles Of American liberty, as enunciated by
the Yashingtous and Jefersons Of the past,
will, nevertheless, courteously entertain due
respect for the opinions Of those who may
differ with ~. Our chief object will be to
restore fraternal constitutional union between
the North aud the South. We shall strike
unsparingly military despotism, oppressive
taxation, and official dishonesty in all quar-
tiers. We will be independent of all cliques,
and publish q paper for the people" The
Journal win also advocate rapid immigration
hereof tue European races, and oppose any
attempt to array one class of religionists a.
gainst another. It will be issued daily, at
1872 West Baltimore Street.

OBITUARY;

Died, at Cedar Grove, Picawaxen, on Satur-
day, July 18th, 1871, Mrs. JOANNA HARRIET
TENNISON, in the 73d year of her age.
"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord,

A good christian becomes sanctifed by the
faithful discharge Of the ordinary duties ofevery
day: by humilty, charity and dutiful submits
sion to the ~ Of Providenee h all the occur

humble christian never thinks too long or toe
diligent for the great journey to the heavenly
Jerusalem, Reguiescut in pace.

miration of the Cherry Pectoral, writes DR..
Aver for instructions under which sign he shall
be bled, which blistered, and which vomited,
and under which he shall take Ayers Pills for
an affection of the liver also under which sign
his wife should commence to take the Sarsapa-

An excursion steamer, the Ocean Wave
with two hundred souls on board, burst hel
boiler at Mobile, Ala, on Sunday evening
last. The scene that followed the explosion
is described as appalling, and has cast gloom
over the whole city. The bodies Of nineteen
dead aud twenty-eight wounded have been
recovered, and by some it is believed tina,
thirty or forty persons are still buried 10 the
debris Of the wreck or at the bottom of Mobile
bay. The Mobile Register says "the Ocean
Wave has for some time been considered an
unsafe boat, and the boiler was so rotten q.
to literally tear open. Had it been stronger
70 a. to explode with greater violence, The
destruction would have been greater" A
criminal responsibility rests somewhere.

Exuberant Health


Is blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to
neglect the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed, as rule,
the more healthy and robust man is, the more
liberties he is inclined to take with his own
physique. It is some consolation to the natu-
rally weak and feeble to know. that they can
be SO invigorated and built up, by proper use
of the means which science has placed at their
disposal, as to have much better chance OF
long life, and exemptions from disease and
pain, than the most athletic of their fellows
who are foolish enough to suppose themselves
invulnerable;T and act accordingly.
1t is not too much to say that more than half
the people of the civilized world need an occa-
sional tonic, to enable them to support the
strain upon their bodies and minds, which the
fast life of this restless age occasions. In fact,
a pure, wholesome unexciting tonic is the
grand desideratum of the busy millions, and
they have the article in Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. It is staminal medicine, i. e. it i'm
parts permanent strength to weak systems and
linvigorates delicate constitutions. Its reputa-
ton and its sales have steadily increased
Competitive preparations have been introduced
ad Hbitum, and, as far as the public is concern
ed ad nduseun, in the hope of rivaling it; but
they have all either persisted in the attempt, or
been left far in the rear. 1t has been the great
medical success of the present century, and it
is quite certain that no proprietary medicine in
this country is as widely known, or as gener-
ally used.
Ten lightning presses, running necessarily
Sundays excepted, the whole year through,
barely supply the demand for the Illustrated
Almanac, in which the nature and uses'o the
preparation are set forth, the circulation now
being over eight millions year.
