some time ago an account of lake on the

bores who were digging well there, aud had
gone eighty odd feet below the surface. A
gentleman who left Leesburg, yesterday, says
that descent was made to the lake, yesterday,
and the water was found to have disappeared
from that part of it into which the we'll open
ed, and that the place, by the imperfect light
of burning shavings, looked like an immense
chamber followed out of the solid rock. A
party has been formed, who, as soon as the ne
cessary torches can be obtained, will make Il
thorough exploration of this new wonder.

SpECEgL NOTICES.

@rFRAUDULENT MISREP RESENTA-
TIONS.-Among the pernicious frauds OF the
period, there is one which especially deserves
the apprehension OF all who place proper value
on health and life. The swindle referred to con-
siss in the attempts of irresponsible parties, IN
different sections of the United States to force
upon the market vile astringent compounds,
manufactured out Of damaged or worthless
drugs and refuse liquor, as preparations possess
ing the rare medicinal virtues of the most popu-
lar and eficacious of all vegetable tonics and al
terativcs-Hostetters Stomach Bltters.
The concoctors of these local bitters" are, IN
the truest sense of the phrase, public eaem'es.-
Their fiery potions infame the stomachs, stupety
the brains and shatter the nerves OF those who
are unwise enough to accept them as substitutes
for the famous Vegetable Invigorant, that for
twenty years has been known throughout the
Western Hemisphere as a standard article.
The fame of Hostetter's Bitters as a health
preserving vitalizing medicine, is as wide as the
world, and the miserable attempts OF needy nos
trum-mongers to supplant it would be treated
with silent contempt, were 1t not that serious
consequences sometimes follow the use of the
nefarious compounds in question. Whoever re-
commends any of them remedies for Dyspep-
sia, Biliousness, Constipation, intermittent re-
yer, Rheumatism or any other complaint for
which Hostetter's Bitters is known specific, is
guilty of Il moral, if not legal misdemeanor
At this season, when the sun is releasing from
the earth, in the form of unwholesome vapors,
the active principle of disease, Il course OF hos
letters Btters will be of the utmost service to
persons with feeble constitutions. jan 29-eolw
