What Dyspepsia may End In.

Indigestion is not dangerous, says the fac
ulty. Perhaps not III itself, while it remains
mere indigestion :: but look at the consequences
to which it may lead, and often does lead when
it becomes a chronic disease. a spark Of fire
is a small thing. pressure of the foot will
put it out 3 breath will extinguish it. Yet
it may fire q powder mill. or kindle fame
that will consume city. In like manner in
digestion may produce gastritis, canc3r of the
stomach, congestion of the bowels, apoplexy,
liver disease, and many other dangerous mails
dies. Is it not wise, then, to check it in tho
germ! Nothing is more clearly and indispu-
Tahlv established than that Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bllters will eradicate dyspepsia in all its
stages. The true policy, however, is to e1tin-
guish it in the first stages with this wholesome,
powerful, and infallible tonic and Alternative
Il is easier TO queneh spark than fame, and
it Is easier TO cure dyspepsia when it is FIRST
developed, than when it has made headway by
neglect, and become complicated with other
ailments There is not the shadow of doubt
that the bitters are as directly antHgonistic TO
dyspepsia rs water is TO FIRE. There are thou
sands of cases on record proving this fact -
Tho remedy is safe and agreeable All the
liquors of Commerce prescribed as stimulants
leave a sting behind. But the sting Is taken
out of the spirituous basis of this great remedy
BY vegetable medication, ard, moreover, the
samulant thus redicsted il Of exceptional pu-
rlty. Of all tonics taken rs safeguards or rem
edIes for fever and ague, bilious reinittents,

Oils, Pomatums aud Pomades have had
their day. They belong to the musty past
Nobody that understands chemistry of the
hair and the philosophy of its growth thinks
Of using them. Instead of clogging the pores
of the scalp with thick onguents, and thus
obstructiug the insensible Precipitation that
is essential to the health of the tibers, we
now tone the surface of the head with an in
MIGRATING application which penetrates to
the roots Of the hair and stimulates them in
the same wav that the fertilizing agents spent
over the meadows stimulate the grass roots
and cause the blades to spring up in myr-
lads, coating the earth with verdure. The
invigorant adapted to this purpose is LYONS
KATHAIRoN. 1t may we'll be called the
fertilizer Of the head. To the barren scalp
it communicates vegetative power. If the
hair is dropping out or becoming dry and
withered, it arrests the process of dilapida-
ton or blight. The hair thickens and be-
comes glossy and flexible under its genial
operation, and as dressing is unapprosch-
ed by any preparation that has yet been !ai
on the toilet of Fashion.

At the morning service in the NJ. i.
Church last Sunday, the pastor, Rev. j. S.
j. Mcconnell announced the pleasing fact that
the indebtedness of the church was now re-
duced to $4OS0 II, and to meet this there
are subscriptions for the full amount, from
which there need not be more than $3.50 to
500 lost.
Since the commencement of the new church
enterprise the sum of S2l, ,450 90 has passed
through the hands of those interested.
$6OOO.OO was collected on subscriptions by
Rev. Mr. Ridgway, and SS150.00 by the
present pastor on subscriptions, and $780,
90 on loans most (which has been refunded
The entire amount actually spent in the i'm,
provements and to save the church from the
disastrous effects of the freshet of October
1869, has been $lS4OOOO.
The pastor gave great praise to the trus
tees of the church for the confidence they
have manifested in him, and the manner il
which they have prosecuted their church
enterprise to its present complete state
There was the largest attendance upon the
communion service on Sunday, that has beer
observed for many years, if not indeed the
largest ever observed in Stroudsburg.

A sad case Of Hydrophobia.

About eleven weeks ago, young lady
named Cox, daughter of Miles Cox, Of
Stodartsville, went out into the yard to
kill the chickens. The dog followed her
picking up one of the chickens ran off
with it. She chased him with stick, to
recover it, and coming up with him be
turned upon her and bit her in the arm,
lacerating 1t fearfully. Her mother and
her brother coming to the rescue. were
oiso badly bitten by the infuriated beast
The wounds healed however, aud nothing
more was thought of the matter.
The young lady was engaged to be mar
RED to young man living at GouldsborO
named Alfred Kerrick, and the wedding
was appointed to come off at the place
about two weeks ago.
On the wedding morning as she was
about to perform her abutions, the slight
OF the water sent a shiver through her
whole system and frightened her, aud at
the breakfast table the coffee had an ef-
feet upon her that she spilled it over the
table. She then complained of feeling
unwell, and her friends advised her to re-
main at home, bat she said she did no;
want to disaPpoiut Al, and accompanied
| by sister proceeded to GouldsbOrO,
where the wedding ceremony was per-
formed.
immediately after this she was seized
with spasms, bearing all the audcariOns
of hydropobia. In one of her lucid in
tervals she warned the company that she
would bite them if they did not keep
away from her but" said she to her
husband, AL, you need not be afraid,
won't bite You"
In one Of her paroxisms she bit lady
who was endeavoring to soOthe ber. |!
was the wife of Doc Hoffman, who drives
the stage from Gouldsboro TO the Sand
cut, on the ID, l.. & W railroad.
Soon after assuring her husband that
she would not bite him, she was seized
with commissions, and laying back in his
arms died.
We have seldom been called upon TO-
record SO sad case as this For one
moment happy bride, and then the vic
tim of horrid death.
The other members of the family who
were bitten by the dog, have not, as yet'
displayed any symptoms of the disease
but they live in hourly dred.-PttSto"

State Treasurer'S Renort.

State Treasurer Mackey gives verv
satisfactory statement OF the condition of
the fuances of the Commonwealth in his
annual report for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 1871. He says:
II is matter for congratulation that
the finances of the State afford an exhibit
so satisfactory. During the year past the
revenues have maintained the annual in
crease which has been developed since
the adoption of the present system of tax
tiou, aud the public debt has bce,
proportionately reduced. 1t is believed
that a revenue, from the ordinary sources.
larger than that of 1871, can be relied
upon for the year 1872 The receipts of
the past year are 1851, ,342 3S in excess
Of the receipts for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 1870. They are swollen.
however, S70S,7l0.67 by payments by
the National Government to that amount
upon the claims of the State for military
expenditures during the rebellion
Deducting this sum from the gross excess.
there remains Sl52, ,63lTl, as the actual
excess of tie ordinary sources for the last
year over those for the year preceding
The expenditures for 1871 exceed
those Of 1870 by 1888, $50 81, the excess
being occasiOned principally by the in
creased amount Of debt redeemed and the
expenses of the government during the
year 1871. The receipts at the treasury
for the last fiscal year foot up S7,l97,-
945.62, which, with the balance in the
treasury November 80, 1870, Sl.502,-
