Spread the Truth.

Some medical men insist that it is undigni-
fed to advertise remedy, however valuable it
may be. Queer reasoning this. tbs like say
ing that an article which the world needs should
be hid in corner-that benefits and blessings
may be too widely diffused-that the means of
protecting and restoring health should be a
close monopoly, and not accessible to all. The
argument is bad. 1t is worse than that; it is
inhuman. Suppose Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters-an absolute specific for dyspepsia, bilious
ness and nervous debility-had never been
known beyond the repertoire of the faculty,
what would have been the consequence? In
stead of curing and invigorating millions, the
good effects of the preparation would have been
confined to a comparative few. There is the
highest authority for saying that light should
not be hid under bushel; that whatever is
excellent should be placed as a city on q hill,
where all men can take cognizance of it.. 1t is
upon this principle that the Bitters have been
advertised and continue to be advertised in
every newspaper ofany prominence in the west
ern hemisphere, and that the spontaneous tes-
timonials in its favor have been translated into
all written languages. Thousands enjoy per.
feet health to-day who would be languishine
on beds of sickness if the newspapers had not
spread the truth Dith regard to this unequalled IT,
vigorant and corrective far and wide. Suppose
profit has been reaped from this publicity. Il
that any argument against it? If the public
health has been protected if lives have beer
saved; if the feeble have been strengthened an6
the sick restored, great good has been accomplish
ed; and who SO mean as to grudge to exertion.
thus directed their fair reward

The Rogers Murder.

More than two years ago Mr.. Rogers, an
aged and respectable citizen of New York,
was murdered 10 his own doorway by an un-
known man, who escaped, and was so sue
cessful in eluding pursuit that his detection
bad been given up as an impossibility. Sew
eral persons were arrested, each on suspicion
If being the criminal, but DO evidence could
be produced to inculpate them. The affair
was nine days wonder, and afterwards was
only remembered as a remarkable instance OF
the daring of professional thieves, for such,
there was no doubt the murder was. Now
be appears as convict in the Auburn Peni-
Tertiary, who, while serving out term Of
imprisonment for another crime, has confess
ed being guilty of the murder. His name is
Pioton, and be is notorious among the crimi-
nal classes of New York.

To the Editor of the Port Tobacco Times:

I know nothing that gave me more pleasure,
during my visit to Alexandria, than the kind
reception met with in the Dry Goods Store
of our old friend, ROBERT L. WooD. That gen.
tleman seems to be especially adapted to the
manners and customs of our people. There
was in the proprietor, and his very gentleman
ly assistants: desire to please, and from their
all classes and tastes. noticed that the small
est wants of those who came in: with their
hard earned shillings, were attended to SO care
fully as apparently to make the poor man feel
that the pleasure Of spending bis money more
than compensated him for the toll endured in
earning it.
We learn from your advertising columns
something of the nature and variety of Mr..
WOODS stock, and recommend all who go to
Alexandria to purchase Dry Goods to call and
