Want Of Vitality.

If = deficiency of vital energy is not disease in
itself it is condition which lays the system open
TO the attacks of all conceivable maladies. Night
and day surrounded more or less by delet-
erious influences. No atmosphere is entirely pure,
no water utterly free nom injurious particles
while in many localities both are positively I'M
wholesome. What defence has the weak, languid
system, in which the vital principle is deficient or
dormant against any of the morbid influences
which produce epidemic and other diseases? None
whatever. There is no safety save In artificial re-
enforcement. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have
beyond all question a vtalizng effect. If the ner-
vous forces of the body have been recklessly eX-
pended in cxhausting physical or mental labor, or
dissipated in the indngences of fast" life, this
powerful vegetable tonic and corrective will re.
store them. If the defective vitality is constitu.
tional evil it can be remedied at great extent by
this wonderful nvgoraht. At a season of the year
when the air is more or less mpregnated with the
seeds of periodic fevers it is especially desirable
that the digestion should be perfect, the habit of
body regular the liver active, the blood pure and
the nerves FIRM These conditions are the best
protection against all disorders, and they con-
ditlons which the Bitters are better adapted than
any other medicinal agent to promote and secure.
see to it, however, that no imitation or counterfeit
is substituted fer the genuine article, and let all
who value health and have an antipathy to poison
beware of the local btters made from condemned
drugs and vilely adulterated alcohol which have
sprung up like unwholesOme fungi all over the
country.

The numerous religious camp meetings oc-

have given rise peculiar kind of music.
This has the energy appropriate to the open

music of this kind has been supplied Gin part)
by small printed sheets or slips, easily lost or
destroyed and difficult to preserve. A great
Improvement on this is now made by Prof.
Hull of Philadelphia, who comes out with a
beautiful pamphlet called "Grove Songs"
which contains the choicest collection we
have seen of this kind of music. We recog-
nize in this with pleasure one piece the Hutch

Manufacturing Industries OF skOwhegan

Manufacturing Industries OF skowhegan.
EDITOR JOURNAL The manufacturing in
terests of this place have been considerably
enlarged the present season. Foremost
among the additions is the factory of VIM. b.
Drew & Co., for the manufacture of wood
pulp used in making newspaper. This pulp
is used as substitute for other materials
which have been mixed with rag pulp, such
as clay, straw, weeds, &C., and is destined to
do away with all these, being MUCH better
material. 1t is made from poplar WOOD and
the manner Of making is as follows: The
wood is first sawed up into blocks about six
inches long, then peeled and split into pieces
of about two inches in thickness; it is now
ready for grinding, which is done similar to
grinding corn, with only this difference, corn
is turned into hopper and goes between two
millstones, while the pieces of wood are held
down upon the upper side of one stone by
large weights. The ground wood, or dust, is
then carried into a sieve which strains out all
the large pieces which may have got into it,
and from thence 1t passes into a vat below
and is pumped up and made into sheets same
rs newspaper. Although the business is new
here, Mr.. Drew informs me that they have
orders for it as fast as 4 y make 1t.
The next improvement which we notice is
the large shop of Mr.. Hiram Steward, some
125 by 60 feet, three stories, which is not
quite finished; and is to be used as grst
mill, and for the manufacture of barrel head
ings, and will make quite an addition to the
business of the place.
Mr. Hiram Burrill is making an addition
to his flour mill, which will give him increas-
ed facilities for the manufacture of -four.
Mr.. Charles M. Bailey has erected another
large building in connection with the two al
ready built for the Manufacture of oilcloth.

victim of nervous debility, or that of de-
pressing languor which is one of the accom-

testify to the misery of mind and body which
they involve. The motive power of the sys-

ed by anxiety and fear; and the sufferer is as
incapable of applying himself energetically
to any kind of business as if he were under
the benumbing influence of catalepsy. The

not, however, be endured for forty eight
