SPECIAL NOTICES.

Aggravated Indigestion. n Persons who
are predisposed TO dyspepsia, find their suffer-
ings from this cause greatly aggravated by
damp weather, easterly winds. and sudden
changes from mild TO chilling atmosphere.
In the spring. therefore. the pangs Of indi-
gestion are seriously augmented by the atmos-
pheric variations peculiar 70 the season. and
1t is incumbent upon all who desire TO pass
through the ordeal Of its cold mists and insa-
luxurious gales with easy stomschs. and un-
tormented by the understandable torments
which accompany dyspepsia, TO tone and
strengthen the digestive organs with health
full and affective vegetable invigorant; and
no one at all familiar with the medical record
Of the age, can question for one moment that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the Tonic best
adapted to this purpose. The credentials Of
the Great Restorative are .unequaled In num-
Der and character by those Of any other ad-
yertised medicine in the world. If Fever there
was a preparation to rank as q National
Remedy, this wonderful specific has fair
claim to the title. For a period of twenty
years it has literally been the Champion
Tonic and Alternative on this side of the At
lantic. In popularity 1t has never been ap-
preached BY any of its would-be competitors.
and its annual sales are so far in advance OF
those of any other medicine of lis class, that
comparisons would be ridiculous. One Of
two conclusions is inevitable; Either the
American people are deficient in common
sense. and incapable Of rational discrimina-
ton, or Hostetter's Bitters is the best proven
tive remedy for indigestion. fever and ague.
bilious remittent fever. constipation, rheu-
matism. nervous complaints, and all mala-
dies Of an epidemic or endemic type. The
reader will judge for himself which Of the
two conclusions is most consistent with fact

The Butter Trade.

The magnitude of this branch of com merce in New York is shown in state ment showing it's progress during the past year:
 In 1862-3, the currency value of our shipments, ,of, butter amounted to S6, 733,- : 743, and in 1870-71 they had fallen to $857, ,G96. During the past year the supply of butter exhibited an important increase, the receipts at New York being 145, 999 packages, or about thirty per cent. in excess of 1870. The enlarged supply has left much larger surplus for export, and the shipments to Great Britian and''the Continent have been 63,- 889 packages, against only 1865 pack ages in 1870. With this increase of sup ply, prices having naturally been lower. In January, 'State barrels" :" averaged 35o37 cents per pound, from which the quotation steadily declined to 24a2S cts. in October during the two closing months the average was 26a3O cents. Tue range of prices during the year has been lower than for several years past, the nearest approach recently being in 1867, when the scope was 22d40 cents j; which, on 0 gold basis, was perhaps somewhat lower than the average of 1871. It is very clear that we cannot ship any important quantity of butter when prices range above 25 cents for the grade we have quoted (with ten per cent premium on gold); and it is to be hoped that, now, our grazing interest has reached position which will enable it to supply permanently this impor- tant product at values which will place it within the reach of much wider range of consumers.-N.Y r. Poper.

A Deadly Toy.

Quite painful and rather singular accident occurred to afour-year old boy, son of MT. Patrick Martin, employed at the gas works, in Chillicothe, O.
 An elder brother of the boy, in pass ing up Walter street, picked up what he supposed to be marble, painted blue. He put it in hs pocket, and on reaching home gave 1t to his little brother to play with.
 The latter, child-like put it in his mouth and bit it, when loud explosion ensued. Mrs. Martin, hearing what she supposed to be the report of a pistol or gun, rushed into the room, finding the child stretched upon the floor, where he had been thrown by the force of the explosion, blood streaming from his mouth.
 A physician was hastily called in, and found the child to be quite seriously in jured, the inner surface of the right cheek being blown away, and the lip and mouth shockingly lacerated. Itwas thought at first that one of jaw-bones was broken, but this was discovered not to be the case, the child escaping with the mangling above mentioned.
 The supposed marble proved to have been what is known as "Union tor pedo," a new and very dangerous in vention, designed for use on holidays, Fourth of July, and other noisy occas- ions. Their explosive power is very considerable, and it is a wonder the lit- tie Martin boy was not killed.
