SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Career Of q Great Remedy.-Twenty
summers have elapsed since it Gas briefly an
nounced that new vegetable tonirand altera-
tive, bearing the name of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitter's, had been added to the list of Proven
tive and Restorative medicines. The modest
advertisement which invited attention to the
preparation stated that it had been used with
great success, in private practice, as cure
for dyspepsia. bilious complaints. constipation
and intermittent fever. II was soon dis
covered that the article possessed oxtraordi-

tested its merits as a tonic, stimulant. correc-
tive and restorative, and found that its effects
more than fulfilled their hopes and expecta-
tions. From that time to the present its
course has been upward and onward, and it
stands to-day at the head Of all medicines of
its class, American or imported. in the magni-
tude of its sales and its reputation as a safe.

during the summer months, ii is absolutely in

stipation, nervousness. periodical feyers. and
all the ordinary complaints generated by
vitiated and humid atmosphere, vanish under
its renovating and regulating influence. This
is its record, avouched by volumes of intelli-
gent testimony, extending over a period of a
fifth of a century. and comprehending the
names of thousands of well-known citizens
belonging to every class and calling. In Eu-

approved by millions of independent sover

ISGRATITUDE.-Ycsterday morning the
horse attached TO cart took fright at the
steam escaping from the Tack factory en-.
CINE and started of ut full run up Mar
ket street. Near John street the driver,
son of Frank Dorr, succeeded in stopping
him, but the animal had scarcely crossed
the track OF the llempfCld railroad before
he started at 2:i0 gait. During this
second heat, young Dorr was thrown
from his seat on the cart, and falling on
one Of thc:shafts oil the vehicle, became
entangled in the harness. Several persons
who witnessed the occurrence expected
to sec him killed outright. A Colorcd
man at work in the mortar beds iC front
OF Reymsnn's new building, ran out
into the street TO stop the runawa, ,
and having fortunately taken the
hoe with him which he had been
using, he struck the horse so heavy blow
that it halted him instan,cr. Other par.
ties coming up, the young man was rCs.
cued from his pcrilOus position. Unnal.
ural as it may be ii Is nevertheless true,
that Dorr instead Of expressing his graft
tude to the cOlorcd man for saving his
lite, commenced 70 curse him, calling
him all the hard names his vocabulary
furnished. Gentlemen who saw the he.
roic act performed by the CoIorcd man,
and the base ingratitudc Of him whose i'm.
pCrilled lie had been saved, expressed the
sentiment quite freely and cmphatically
that under similar circumstances the re-
suit might be quite different II they should

DULL TMEs.-Local items are quite
scarce in the city. At present we believe
Frank Porter, the cheap shoe man, is the
only excitement in the city. Frank is
making the shoe business lively for some
Of his competitors in that trade, and in
tends, We are informed, to keep it up If it
takes all winter.
