[Courier, Sept. Z.
The Liberals would hardly take part
in that concern, on any other than an
equal footing, especially as they do not
see. any necessity, or even the propriety
of making nominations for parish offices
at the present time. And even if they
did, the plans Of the Democrats are too
well known, the candidates they have
fixed upon are too certain to be nomina-

invitation to walk into that parior.a

Defend Nour Health.

The fat of the leaves not only symbolizes human
decay, but promotes it. In other words the efiuvia
from dying and rottng vegetation is unfavorable to
health. To this and other oauses-especially excess
of moisture in the stmoephere-may be ascribed the
prev aence of acute disorders Of the stomach bowels
and liver At this season. Every person of bilious habit
is liable to be tery bilious in the fall Then, too, ali
persons whose digestion is weak are more than or
dinarily dyspeptic, and individuals pFedisposed to
collie, darrh9s and dysentery are particularly likely
to be attacked by these complaints. The most COM
plete defence against each and all Of these distress
ing ailments is bodily vgor To obtain this blessing

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIONS. Perhaps
no man living has won more golden
opinions than DR.. Walker, as the enor-
nous and widely increasing sale of his
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs attests.
We never look into one of our exchange
es, but there is panegyric of the Bit
tiers staring us in the face. Our read
ers viii say that there must be reason
for all this praise. They are right.
The efficacy of this celebrated medi-
cine is established by evidence which
it is impossible to doubt. Among the
thousands who have borne testimony
to its excellence, there is not one dis
sentent voice. In very many phases
of inorganic disease it seems to he I'M

vjtiated state of the blood are surely
eradicated by 1T. 1t is an eflectual
remedy for pulmonary complaints bilious. re-

healthy humors, gives tone 10 the system,
and whore the vital powers are enfeebled. re-
stores their functions to vigorous and healthy
action. All tins it does the more effectually
because its operation is not interfered with by
the presence of alcohol. The VINEGAR BIT
TIERS is perfectly free from any such hurtful
ingredient. We have always believed that
plants contain the true remedies for disease,
and all the remedies necessary. DR.. Walker
is on the line of real progress, and we hope
that he Will not rest on his present discover

The English Cotton Mills.

By late advices from England we notice
that the Lancashire cotton-mill owners
have decided to reduce the number of
hours OF daily labor in their establishments.
The reason given is the great advance in
the price of coal. We opine, however,
that il is not the true one. On the con.
trarv, the reduction in hours has been
brought about by the high price Of cotton.
The new crop from America is just now
coming into market, and the English mill
owners are in reality engineering "ring"
in order to lower its price. In fact, the
means used by then Will not only have
the effect to lower the price of cotton, but
to raise the prices OF cotton goods and
reduce the wages paid to operatives.
Nevertheless, the question of a supply Of
coal in England is u very serious one.
Statists III political economy long SINCE
foretold that about the year 1870 Great
Britain would begin to experience a want
of coal, and that soon thereafter she would
be compelled to commence the transfer
of her manufacturing machinery to the
water-power districts in Ireland, This
motive power would cost nothing. and
England's coal would be saved for marine
and other purposes. -.....

THE Catawissa Railroad has been leased
by the Reading Railroad Company for 800
years. The Reading Eagle gives the fol-
lowing as the substance of the terms of the
lease:
The Catawissa Railroad is to receive
each year 80 per cent of the gross receipts,
the Reading to guarantee the first year the
interest on all loans and Sl54,000; the
second year the interest and $l7S, 600; the
third year the interest and S2O2 900; the
fourth year and ever after, the interest and
S226,000 The Catawissa railroad is to
issue 81 100000 new stock to bear interest
in 1874 Of p per cent. in 1875 of Al per
cent, and in 1876 and ever after, per
cent. The preferred stockholders are to
be authorized TO subscribe ut the rate of
forty-tive shares for every one hundred
shares in stock, and to pay for the same
by relinquishing all the claims for arrears
of diviaends. In case the receipts for any
one year shall fall short of the amount
named above for said year, the Reading
Railroad Company to have no claim on
the receipts of any other year. From this
date the Reading Railroad will learn the
cause of the large advance in the price OF
the preferred shares. The lease is consi-
dered mutually advantageous by the re-
spective parties to it, aud as the assent OF
the stockholders on neither side is required
to ratify the agreement, it may be consider
ed accomplished.
