Assistant Bishop of Marylan

We thank our editorial friends for the
compliments bestowed upon the Times
The Prince Georgian gives us the follow
ing very fattering notice. Long years of
friendship with the Editor of that popular
journal will perhaps account for the rather
too high estimation of our merits:
THE PORT TOBACCO TIMEs.-This ex-
cellent journal came to us last week in a
new dress from the foundry of Messrs.
Ryan & Ricketts,, of Baltimore. Friend
Wells, who is not at all given to ''blowing
his own gaff," made this change SO quiet
ly and modestly that he took his brethren
of the press quite by surprise. To say the
Times looks well in its new dress would
be but poor compliment, as brother Wells
is acknowledged to be one of the neatest
printers and best editors in the State. We
are accustomed to look for the Times as to
the visits of an old friend. We record this
evidence of it's prosperity with unaffected
pleasure; and, when the Railroad is COM
pleted, and the material interests of old
Charles fully developed, we hope our friend
may be still more amply rewarded for long
and unwearied years of toll in behalf of
the people of that honored county.

Eclectic Magazine.

The Eclectic for October is full of good
things, the contents varying judiciously
"from grave to gay, from lively to severe"
There is nothing in recent magazine liter
allure which surpasses, for droll humor
and witty Characterization, the brilliant
sketch of Barney Geohegors, the Irish Menu
6er," of which the second installment is
given in this number. It reminds one of
Lover in his best days, though it would
be difficult to find anything of Lovers
that will compare with it in point of
power and variety.
The Editorial Departments present the
usual fresh literary reviews, scientific and
art items, and miscellany.
Published by E. R. Pelton, 1O8 Fulton
Street, New York. Terms, SIS year; two
copies, 50. Single number, 45 cents.

Ex.Gaxernor cnrtin.

Ex-Governor Curtin has written letter
to Hon. A. K. Mcclure, Chairman of the
Liberal State Committee of Pennsylvania,
dated Saratoga, September 81. In it he
accepts the Liberal nomination for delegate
at large to the Constitutional Convention.
He declares unequivocally in favor of the
election of Buckalew as Governor, deem
ing such a result necessary to redeem the
State and the Republican organization
from corruption. He does not say who he
shall support in the Presidential canvass,
but declares he will meet that issue when
it comes before the people, in accordance
with his settled convictions.

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.


The last quarterly report ofthe president
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany, A. P. German. Esq, exhibits pros
perity never before shown by that work.
The gross receipts for the quarter were
z$174, 263.44, and the expenses of working
the canal and pay of the officers were $40,
6S1, O6, leaving net revenue 1924 ,582, 3S,
and an increase over the corresponding
period of 1871 of $11 ,ss4.92, and $26, 1885,
IS more than for the corresponding period
of 1859. The number of tons of coal ship
ped from Cumberland during the quarter
was $40, Till, which is an increase of &c.
615.03 tons over the corresponding quarter
of 1871. The decrease in the revenues
from the opening ofnavigation to the end
of June, was $24424.07, but the increase
in receipts since, it is confidently expect
ed, will enable the company to pay at least
two more coupons on the preferred bonds
during the present year, and leave sufi-
cient balance in the treasury to meet all
ordinary demands. During the extreme
drought the canal was not affected in the
upper levels, but in the Georgetown divi-
sion there was not sufficiency of water
to supply the wants of navigation and the
various mills. Many improvements are
found to be absolutely necessary, but they
can be made without any interference with
the business of the canal. The report is
of very satisfactory character, and is ex-
plicit in all its details of the workings of
that great artery of trade.

Valuable Hints.

A regular habit of body is absolutely essen
tial to physical health and clearness of intel
lect. Nor is this all. Beauty of person can
not co-exist with an unnatural condition of
the bowels. A free passage of the refuse mat
ter of the system through these natural waste
pipes, is as necessary to the purity of the body
as the free passage of the offal of city through
its sewers is necessary to the health of its in
habitants.
Indigestion is the primary cause of most of
the diseases of the discharging organs, and one
of its most common results is constipation.-
This complaint, besides being dangerous in it
self, has many disagreeable concomitants-such
as an unpleasant breath, sallow skin, con-
Eliminating blood and bile, hemorrhoids, head
ache, loss of memory, and general debility.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters remove all these
evils by removing their immediate cause in the
digestive organs and regulating the action of
the intestines. The combination of properties
in this celebrated preparation is one of its chief
merits. 1t is not merely stimulant or ton
ic, or an ambitious agent, or nervine, or a
blood depurent, or cathartic, but all these
curative elements judiciously blended in one
powerful restorative. 1t lends activity and
vigor to the inert and enervated stomach, re-
lieves the alimentary canal of its distractions,
and gives tone to the membrane which lines it,
gently stimulates the liver, braces the nerves,
and cheers the animal spirits. No other reme-
dy possesses such variety of hygienic virtues.
1t is to these characteristic virtues that it owes
its prestige as a household medicine. Expert
ence has proved that it is as harmless as it is
eficacious, and hence it is as popular with
the walker sex as with the stronger. r..
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are sold in bot
ties only, and the trademark blown in the
glass and engraved on the label is the test of
genuiness, Beware of cOunterfeits,

Senator Trumbull writes that in all parts
of Illinois which he was visited the utmost
enthusiasm continues in the interests of
Reform, and that there can be but little
doubt, if the present sustained efforts are
continued, of the success of the Liberal
ticket in this State by large majority
Senator Trumbull has traversed the State
more thoroughly than any other public
man, and speaks from the knowledge eli
cited by actual observation and from alb
solute facts.

The Maryland state Agricultural Fair.

Tho Maryland State Agricultural Fair.
The preparations for the approaching
exhibition of the Maryland Agricultural
and Mechanical Association are progress
ing as rapidly as practicable, and the pre-
sent Indications are that it will be decided
ly more attractive than any former fair Of
the association. It is the intention to
make the household department peculiar
" attractive, and portion Of the large
hall will be devoted to the exhibition OF
the smaller articles of machinery, large
number of specimens of which, we are as
sured, will be on exhibition. The live
stock department will be more than ever
of interest. A number of fine imported
Jersey, Guernsey, Devon, Short Horn, Ayre-
shire and Hereford cattle, as we'll as ma
tive cattle, will be exhibited, and the COM
petitions for the liberal premiums offered
by the association will be very strong
The horse department will contain speci-
mems of the best imported and native stock
in the country, and of the smaller animals
there will be large supply. The trials
of speed daily will be one of the most in
teresting features of the fair, and num-
Der of horses not known to the turf will
be tested on the track. On Thursday, dur
ing the fair, Hon. Horace Greeley will de-
liver the Grafton, when an opportunity will
be afforded everybody to look upon the
man who has been selected to save the
country from impending ruin. The un-
firing zeal with which the officers of the
are working for the success Of
the fair will doubtless be appreciated by
the people of Baltimore and of Maryland,
and none should fail to give countenance
to the association by doing all in their
power to elevate its annual exhibitions to
the highest standard known in the United
States.-BGk. Gazette,

Pastoral Letter from Bishop Pinkney,
Assistant Bishop Of the Diocese Of Mary
land.
The Assistant Bishop of the Diocese of
Maryland has issued the following letter
to the clergy and laity in Maryland:
SEPTEMBER 10, 1872.
Dear Brethren Of the Clergy and LGity-
Acting as the Ecclesiastical head of the
Diocese of Maryland in the absence of the
Bishop, who, in compliance with the most
earnestly expressed wish of his brethren
in the Episcopate, has gone forth on mis-
sion of great Importance to the Church at
large; | would ask your prayers in his be-
half, that he may be improved in health,
prospered in his work and restored to us
with increased power, to serve the altar,
on which he has laid the ripe fruit of his
vast learning and untiring zeal. Inresponse
to the proposal of the venerable Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel in For
eign Parts, concurred in by the Committee
of the Missionary Society of the Church of
England and endorsed by the Archbishop
of Canterbury, I issue this Pastoral Letter,
setting apart the goth of December next
as day "for special intercession with God
for the supply of missionary laborers in
the field occupied by the Church of Eng
land"
If any branch of the one Church Catholic
is called upon to cooperate in work, so
fraught with hope in the future it is the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States. We are the offspring of the mis-
sionary zeal of the Mother Church. Bray,
one of the most apostolic men of modern
times, a man of towering energy and sin
gle-hearted love for the lost sheep, far out
in the wilderness, labored among us, and
left the impress of his marvellous sagacity
in the valuable libraries he scattered over
the land and the churches be fostered.
1t is beautiful illustration of the fact
that "bread cast upon the waters shall be
found after many days." The child now
grown to fulness of years, power on the
earth, is permitted from thousand affairs
to send up prayer to God for the mother
that bore her, lisped by million tongues,
which she tuned to the melodies of her
grand old chants.
will issue service suitable to the oc-
casion in accordance with the Canon, and
send it to each Clergyman of the Diocese.
Yours afectionately,
WIN. PINKNEY,
Assistant Bishop of Maryland.

Frederick Brown, the only surviving
brother of old "Ossawottamie," is out a.

Cancellation and harmony between the two
sections history will pronounce the Adolf

PHILADELPHIA has started monthly Ii

Philadelphia has started monthly line
of steamers for the purpose of bringing
fresh beef from Texas preserved by refri-
geration. By the process employed the
meat does not come in contact with the
ice, but is kept fresh by currents of air
forced through the ice, keeping the store
rooms cool and the meat pure. 1t will be
recollected that cargo was brought to
Philadelphia last summer and sold off very
satisfactorily.
