REAR IN MIND.

When disease has undermined the health, and
the physical system has become Frustrated a
stimulant that will not only strengthen, but re-
move the cause, should be Immediately resorted
to. Mental distress is also fruitful source OF
the breaking down of the constitution, and the
ravages of this enemy to health are truly alarm
ing For all such maladies Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters have been found unsurpassed. By acting
directly upon the digestive organs, they remove
the heavy, disagreeable feeling after eating, SO
often complained of by persons of delicate
temperament. AS soon as digestion is restored,
the patient finds his strength increasing, and his
general health improved.
Thousands of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases of weakness or nervous de-
bility attendant upon sedentary habits The gen.
crafty of Bitters are disagreeable to the taste
that they are Objectionable to a weak stomach.
This is not the case with Hostetter's Biters,
which will be found mild and extremely pleasant
Balsamic plants, barks and roots contribute their
restorative Juices to render it soothing and
Its basis is the only pure stimu
liant which has ever been produced, containing no
fusn oil, or any other deleterious element. The
most careful and skilful chemists have analysed
the Bitters, and pronounce them harmless. This
is scientific testimony; but the testimony OF the
hundreds of thousands who have experienced the
preventive and curative effects of the Great veg
etable Tonic and Alternative of modern times is
still more conclusive In Fever and Ague, Dy-
spepsia, Billiousness, Nervous Complaints, Chron-
c Complaints and general debility it is as nearly
infallible as anything in this fallihle world can

Gen. Chapman, Radical, was elected, on
the goth, delegate to Congress from the
Territory of Columbia, formerly the Dis
trict of Columbia, over Hon. R. 7. Mer-
rick, democrat, by 4,087 votes. Of the %
members of the House of Delegates, the
Radicals elected Is, and the Democrats 7.
There was great rejoicing among the Radi-
Gals at the result. It is claimed by that
party as the opening of the campaign for
President in 1872, and that it indicates the
current Of popular feeling. Col. Forney:
in speech on the occasion, nominated Cen
Grant for reelection. Grant is certainly
playing bold game, and seems to be re-
gaining favor with all the wings of the Re
publican party.

The PAIN KILLER is by universal consent
allowed to have won for itself reputation un-
surpassed in the history of medicinal prepara-
TONS Its instantaneous effect in the eradica-
ton and extinction of Pain in all its various
forms incident to the human family, and the I'M
solicited written and verbal testimony Of the
masses in its favor, have been, and are its own
advertisements.
The ingredients of the Pain Killer being pure
ly Vegetable, render it perfectly safe and eff
caeious remedy taken internally, as well as for
external applications, when used according to

readily removed by washing it with alcohol.
This Medicine, justly celebrated for the cure
of so many Of the Affections incident to the hu-
man family, has now been before the public over
thirty gears, and has found its way into almost
every corner of the world and wherever it has
been used, the same opinion is expressed of its
medical properties.
In any attack, where prompt action upon the
system is required, the Pain Killer is invaluable.
Its almost instantaneous effect in Relieving Pain
is truly wonderful and when used according to
directions is true to its name, PAIN KILLER.

TACK FENDLETON.
- This celebrated Jack will stand the en-
suing season at my farm, near Mt. Clinton, i'll
Rockingham county, and will be let to mares at
$40 the single leap or SIS insurance. Persons
from distance, wishing to have their mares
kept at the stand of the Jack, can be aceommo-
dated at So per month. They will be well cared
for.
JACK PENDLET0N is probably the finest
Jack in the United States. His dam was import
ed from the Island of Malta, by Welsh Purser
in the U. S. Navy. at cost of $4,000 in gold.
His sire waa Jack called 'sTippeeanoe, former
ly the property of ]. G. Major, and was pur-
chased in Richmond in 1857, when oay years
old, at cost of 81 200, gold, and was II hands
high when grown.
JACK PENDLETON is nearly the same height,
and faultlessly made He is now ten years old,
and is one of the surest fold getters in the coun
try. His colts are remarkable for their size,
compactness, and general uniformity of limbs.
Persons wanting his services, will send their
mares to my farm in Rockingham, and they can
be accommodated. BENJ. CRAWFORD.

SOUTHERN Loyal CLA1Ms.-There have
been thus far over three hundred claims
filed before the Southern loyal claims
commission, and it is estimated that be-
fore their session is ended the number
will reach several thousand. All that this
commission is authorized to do is merely
to establish the loyalty of the claimant
and the validity Of the claim. It can pay
no claim, nor recommend its payment, be-
yond the record that each claim may favor
ably present on it's own merits. The en-
tire work is yet to pass in review before
Congress, which has steadily refused
to make any appropriation to pay this
kind Of Indebtedness. Even at the recent
session it refused to allow the government
to be represented before the commissioners
by a solicitor, for fear that it would be
regarded as partial recognition of the
claims that might be allowed. These
facts are stated because some designing
claim agents are making representations to
claimants that this commission pays as
we'll as audits the claims.

THE KU- KLUx BILL.-The last hours If
the session of Congress, which closed at tw o
o'clock on the goth, were principally noticeable
in the way of legislation for the final passage
of the force or Ku-Klux bill, and its approv-
al by the President. The bill as it passed is
fully as stringent as when it was first report
ed to the House, and provides in brief for
the trial of offences in United States courts,
the administration of an oath to Jurors that
they are not Ku-Klu1 sympathizers (the test
oath being dispensed WITH the suspension of
the writ of habeas corpus till the end Of the
presidetial election, and providing finally
that all persons having knowledge of con-
templated outrages, and who do not furnish
information Of the same shall be deemed ac-
cessories before the fact, and liable as princi-
pals for damages to the outraged PERSONS
Some appeals were made to the President by
letter from New York to veto the bill, but he
signed it in five minutes after receiving it..
and informed republican Senator'S that imme
diately on his return from St. Louis he should
proceed with its vigorous enforcement.
