You Haven't Tried them.

Victim of debility, who il responsible for
your fcebleneSs? Not yourself, you will say,
for you've done all you could to cure il
That's mistake on your part
You haven't tried HOStetter'S BitterS.
Gloomy dyspeptic, with an uneasy stom-
ach and IA world-weary face, OF course you
don't think yourself responsible for your
own torments. But you are. 1t is eaSy'to
see from your condition that you haven't
tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Bilious sufferer, it is not your fault, you
think, that your symptoms grow worse day
by day. Blue pill doesn't do you any good
Very likely. But you can he brought
round for all that.
Why haven't you tried Hostctter'S Bilters?
Friend, on whom fever and ague alter
nately blows hot and cold, and whose brain
seems to be bursting with the effects OF some
powerful drug, do you assume the response
bility? ., no. You've taken piles of quiz
nine. and all the regulation medicines
What could you do more? One thing
more-the very thing that would have ex-
empted you from ali the pangs that now
rack you.
You have never tried Hostetter's BitterS
Nervous invalid, what have you To say?
You plead that you have taken all the ner-
vines of the pharmacopRia. II they have
done on no good, IL Is not your fault. You
are not responsible. Wrong all wrong.
You have, in reality, nobody to blame but
yourself.
Why haven't you tried Hostetter's Bitters?
For all the above named complaints, the
BitterS are absolute specifics.

Terrible Fires I'm the Woods Of New
York and New Jersey.

From the New York Tribune, May ~.
The latest intelligence from various
quarters Of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, show that fires, Of un-
paralleled destructiveness, and covering
a vast extent of valuable timber and
farm lands, are still raging. The
woods of Orange, Sullivan and Ulster
counties, in this State; Sussex county,
in New Jersey; Pike, Wayne, Munroe
and Carbon counties, in Pennsylvania,
are, from drouth as dry as finder, and it
is next to impossible to stay the pro-
gress OF the flames. Orange county,
along the lines Of the railroads, has
suffered severely from the burning of
timbers, fences, barns and cord wood
The Shawangunk mountain, for miles,
is literally a sheet of flame The Erie
Railway Company have lost heavily in
cord wood, and the farmers, in many
places, have been compelled to fight
fire for weeks. In Sullivan county the
loss has been still more serious. Sulli-
van is one Of the leading tanning and
numbering counties in the State, and
during the Spring immense quantities
Of hemlock bark have been peeled N
the forests. These fires, beginning
about two weeks ago, have DESTROYED
thousands Of cords OF bark and millions
of feet OF lumber.

ming a route for the eastern end Of the
Hempfeld from point on the Monon-

Vance, in South Strabane, running
south OF it, and crossing over to the
waters of the south fork OF Pigeon
Creek, which are followed to Bentleys-
vile, near which it crosses moderate
summit to Maple Creek and follows
that stream to the river. We under
stand the new survey would make the
road about two miles shorter than the

the entire distance to a point Of junction
with the Connelisville railroad about

The New York World urges the
Republican party to nominate HORACE
GREELEY as its candidate for the Presl-
dency. AS whoever the Republicans
NAV nominate is foredoomed to defeat,
the World thinks we may as well have
a merry campaign and let the Repub-
lican party expire in burst of laugh
ter. But seriously the Republican
managers might go farther and fare
worse. HORACE GREELEY, however
fashionable it may be to exaggcrate
and ridcule his excentrictics, has long
been a power in the land, and has done
far more to create and maintain the
Republican party than ever GRANT did,
or anv other Of the little men whom
GREELEY has elevated to power was
ever able to accomplish. 1t is scarcely
likely that GREELEY will obtain the
nomination, but it is still less probable
that the man who does receive the
Radical nomination, will possess half
of GREELEY S ability, honesty, and moral
