DEBILITY AND EMACIATIoN both result
from the lack OF ability TO convert the food
into nutriment. How necessary, then, Tor
those suffering from these alarming symp-
toms to Immediately resort to q remedy that
will strengthen the stomach and digestive
organs. For, as soon as this desira ble OBJ
ject has been accomplished the health i'm
proves, and the patient resumes his usual
personal appearance. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters have attained a world wide I'oPulatr-
ity in such cases, and have been proven the
best and safest means of removing consti-
patton, toning the stomach, giving energy
to the liver, and relieving every symptom Of
nervousness and depression of spirits. Its
cheering and beneficial effects are highly
spokenof by thousands, who own to it their
restoration to health No restorative in the
annals of medicine has attained the same
popularity in the short space of time it has
been before the public, or has won the high
endorsements accorded to this excellent ton
ic. Many other preparations, purporting
to be correctlves and restOratlves, have been
introduced, and have perished one by one,
while the popularity of Hostetter Stomach
Bitters continues to increase, and is now
recognized as a standard household mcdi-
cine The success which attends the use of
the Ditters evin .es at once its virtues in all
cases of debility and disease of the stomach.
Certificates, almost without number, have
been published, attesting its truly miracu
lous power in removing those painful and
fearful diseases And at this time it seems
idle to do more than call attention to the
great remedy of the age, in ORDER to awaken
public attention to its excellence. 1t is the
only preparation of the kind that is reliable
in all cases, and it is therefore worthy of
the consideration of the afflicted.

Il. r. IMPROVEMENTS We observe that
the railroad company is erecting large der
rick at the freight house, iu this place,
which will greatly facilitate the loading and
unloading of heavy freight. The company
are about to enlarge the platform at the
passenger depot, build fence around their
buildings, and otherwise improve and beau
tlty their grounds. Preparatory to the lat
ter improvements, we would suggest that
the grounds at the passenger depot should
be graded in such manner as to carry the
water away from the buildings, and thus
prevent the unsightly mud holes by which
they have been surrounded in the past.

the large party as they disposed Of cakes
AID other dclicacies provided by the inva-
ding party. After the viands were amply
discussed, they took the liberty OF present
ing the prisoner with some of the needful,
in the shape of greenbacks. And then, af-
ter spending some length of time in pleas

persed, intimating that season Of rest
would soon be voted the person in custody,
when release from toll and arduous labors
would take place.

Local Correspondence,
Onr Streets.

Mr.. EDITOR You have called attention
at present engaged in repairing the streets.
For this our citizens should be duly thank
full to the Town Council; but, at the same
time. it is proper to say that the repairs
they arc making are simply patch lcork
The filling of holes with stones is only a
temporary improvement, for as soon as wet
weather sets in, nelc holes will be formed by
the side of the stones, and the streets will
be in as bad condition as ever
Bat how should the work be done may
be asked. The best way is to stone the
streets all over. In the centre, the stone
should be from 10 to 2 inches in thickness,
and tapered down to few inches at the
sides. The middle of the streets should be
at least eighteen inches higher than the
cutters along the pavements, which would
throw the water off the streets into the gut
ters, and thus mea~urably prevent injury
from that source This grade will hold
good in all cases. The fact Is, too much
stress cannot be placed upon the matter of
rounding up the streets, and 1t Is to this, as
well as to the general work of repairing
that the Town Council should give special
attention
The Borough finances are in a good con-
dition, and whatever may be done in the
way of substantial and proper improve
mcnt of the streets, will be money well ex-
pended aud will meet the approval of all
tax payers. Patching up mud holes is not
that kind of Improvement. 1t is only, as
already intimated, preparing a place for a
new mud hole, and will leave the streets in
no better condition than if this sort of re
pairing had not been done. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore, that little practical COM
mon sense will be exercised in this matter,
and the highways of our town put in con-
dition of which we need not be ashamed.
