The death of very aged female, be-
lieved to be the oldest person in Vir-
ginia, occurred lately near Brookneal,
Campbell county, in that State. She
was named Peggy Arlington, and was
born in the city of Pittsburg, in 1856.
She was, therefore, nineteen years old
at the beginning of the Revolutionary
war.
The German Band, who played at the
Boston jubilee, and then gave concerts
at other points, are having row in Ber-
lin upon the division of the money made
in this country. Herr Saro, the leader,
it is stated claims so large q portion as
his share that the matter and the money
is now in the hands of the authorities,
with prospect that the latter may ap-
propriate the whole amount for the bene-
fit of the public service.
The introduction of patchouly, the
comparatively new perfume, is said to
have been brought about as follows: 1t
was noticed by the European merchants
that peculiarly pleasant odor peryaded
all the India shawls, and this odor came
to be regarded as an infallible test Of the
genuineness of the article. Its cause was
inquired into, and it was found to be
given to the shawls by contact with
herb known to the Hindoos as putcha,
pat, or as it is now commonly spelled,
patchouly. Importations of the dried
herb as an aid to the shawlmaker's en-
terprise followed, and this led to its in
troduetioe as toilet perfume in Europe
and thence to cur own country.
The late Prince Albert, husband of
Queen Victoria, took great interest in
educational matters, and on one occa-
sion paid visit to school, and heard
the teacher make one of the classes 20
through an object lesson. Now, can
you tell me about heat? was one of the
questions. A bright little man held
forth his hand, as much as to say he
could. well. now, my boy" said the
teacher, what do you known Heat
expands, said the boy, in jerky style
of delivery characteristic of his years.
" Heat expands-cold contracts" The
teacher looked at the Prince for appro-
val. The Prince bowed his head and
smiled appreciation. The teacher, eager
for more such smiles, went on. Very
good" he said now give me an exam
ple." Tin summer the days are long;

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Avoid the Perils of the Season. Autumn.
although the most radiant portion OF the
American year. has its drawbacks. The heavy
evening dews and morning vapors and the
great disparity in temperature between the
night and day, give rise TO many painful dis
turbances Of the bowels, such as collie, cholera
morbus. diarrhea and dysentery. The diges-
tive organs are also unfavorably affected by
the change of season. and dyspepties generally
suffer most severely during the fall. Derange-
ments Of the liver are likewise common, and
miasmatic fevers prevail in newly settled dis
tricts and low-lying and marshy localities.
These unpleasant contingencies Of the season
are not however, unavoidable. By strength
ening, toning and regulating the system with
Hostetter' Stomach Bitters even the most deli
cate may escape them. At the expiration Of
summer all the bodily powers are in some
what exhausted state. They require the whole
some stimulation which this genial vegetable
invigorant supplies. Under its renoyating in
fuence the nervous energy which the willing
heat Of July and August had kept in allegiance
or partially extinguished, crops out affesh;
the haecid muscles recover their elasticity; the
APP elite takes q sharper edgd; the processes
Of digestion and assimilation become more
rapid and perfect; the spirits rise. and the
whole organization acquires its maximum Of
activity and resistant power. Even persons Of
comparatively feeble constitutions, when thus
I fortified against the perils Of the season, will
! have littlecause TO fear a visitation from any
7 Of the disorders which we have referred 10.

only unrivaIled but unapproaehed. Look well
