SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Wear and Tear of Life.-The cares,
anxieties and misfortunes Of life have as much
to do with shortening it as disease. They are
in fact the source of many ailments and physi-
cal disabilities. Nervous weakness, dyspep-
sia, affections Of the liver. disturbances of the
bowels. headaches, hypochondria and mono
mania are among these distressing fruits. 1t
is. therefore. Of great importance that persons
whose minds are oppressed with heavy bust
ness responsibilities, or harassed by family
troubles. or excited by speculation, or per-
picked by a multiplicity of enterprises. or in
any way oyertaxed or overworked, should
keep up their stamina by the daily use of a
wholesome tonic. Thousands Of persons thus
circumstaneed are enabled to bear up against
the difficulties in which they are involved. and
TO retain their strength. health and mental
clearness. By the regular use Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Diseases which are prone to
attack the body when debilitated aAd broken
down By over-mueh FRAMEWORK, or exhaust
ing physical labor. are kept at bay by the re-
sistant power with which this Incompatible
tonic endows the nervous system and the vital
organs. At this season, when the heat IL
syaporating the elements Of strength from
every pore. an inYigorant is absolutely essen
tial to the safety and comfort Of the public,
and is required even by the more robust if
they desire to keep their athletic capabilities
in statu quo. Hence course Of Hostetters
Bitters is particularly useful at this period Of
the year as defense against the invicible dis
ease saOat in a sultry atmosphere. 1t is the
most potent Of all preventive medicines. and
for all complaints which affect the stomach.

Railroad Certainty.

We learn from Col. James Evans
who arrived from Uniontown On Tues
day, that the hitch in the negotiations
between the Uniontown and West Nir-
sjnia Railroad Company and the Penn
svlvauia Central, looking to transfer
OF the former road TO the latter has been
removed, and that the contract for the
trans er has been effected. The Union
town and West Virginia Company had
heretofore expended S36, 900, the whole
amount OF stock paid in, in grading and
construction, hes des mourning a debt
Of $4,000 for the same purpos e
This company now agrees to
paw off one half OF this debt
and the citizens of Uniontown and
vicinity the other half, taking stock to
the gross amount in the road, which is
transferred to the Central Company
or, rather, the Southwestern Pennsyl'
vania. The latter is thereupon to pro-
coed to complete and coup the road
which they propose to do as far as to
Fairchance, at an early day In the com
ing season.
That part of the Southwestern Penn
sylvania road from Greensburg, on the
Central, to Uniontown, is also being
rapidly rushed through, and will be
com pleted by midsummer, and thus q
very considerable part OF the great
through Southern route will be an &C
