Railroad.
We had a call on Monday last from
Mr.. J. N. McLane, Of New Athens,
Ohio, who has been spending several
days in our vicinity in the interest Of
the proposed Wheeling and Tuscarawas
Valley railroad. We are pleased to
learn FROM Mr.. McLane that the
prospects for the early completion OF
this line are very encouraging. In fact,
that those who have been laboring 30
earnestly and necessarily in behalf
OF the New Athens and Brushy
Fork route consider themselves
"out Of the woods as re.

It Is am EstabIrshed Fncr

That the Stieff Piano is one of the best now
made in the country, they having been
awarded no less than q Gold and Silver
Medals during the fall of 1869, 1870 and 1871
throughout the country. Their new illus
trated catalogue is beautifully gotten up,
and contains the names of over 1 200 South
erners, (who have purchased the Stieff
Piano since the close Of the war; of which
800 are Virginians, 200 North Carolinians,
100 Tennesseeans, and others throughout
the South.
1t il also an established fact that the firm
OF CHAs. Nj. STIEFF, does larger Southern
business than any one house in the United
States.
The Stieff Piano combine every quality
that is required to make the Piano as perfect
as possible. The rich, grand, mellow and
powerful tone they possess has not been
excelled by any instrument manufactured.
Especially in the treble does the Stieff Piano
show its superiority over others by the bell
like clearness and the singing quality of
tone, which lends, to them an inestimable
charm.
Persons who are In want of a strictly
first-class Piano. we would advise before
purchasing elsewhere to examine the Stieff
Piano, or send for theie illustrated cata-
logue.

Atmospheric Poison.

The spring sun calls up something besides
the flowers and grasses. 1t evolves from
the damp earth, turbid rivers, stagnant
pools and black mOrasses, the gaseous pro-
vocatiyes of disease. From the of1al and
garbage of unclean cities, too, it exhales an
effluvia destructive of health and vigor.
Periodic feveTs of various types are now
raging with unusual virulence in various
parts of the country, and there are COM
plants from all quarters of a singularly
unhealthy spring. What is to be done in
this emergency? The answer is simple and
to the point. Strengthen the body. Weak
ness predisposes the system to disease.
Commence ut once a course of the most ge-
NAL of tonics, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Be assured that the germs Of epidemic and
endemic fevers will never infect the phys
ique that has been fortified and regulated
with this glorious vegetable restorative. A
moist atmosphere aggravates dyspepsia.
and all diseases of a bilious type, and the
sudden thermometrical changes common at
this season are severe trial even 70 strong
constitutions. There is but one way of
combating these deleterious agencies, and
that is by invigorating the body, and inn
porting q healthy activity to all its func-
tions- The only specific required for this
purpose is Hostetter's Bitters. OF all vege-
table tonics and alternatives, it is the purest
and best. Its medicinal ingredients include
all the juices and extracts OF the most ap-
proved tonic, anti-bilious and antiseptic
products of the Botanic Kingdom, and they
are combined with stimulant far superior
in quality to the alcohol used in preparing
the tinctures and extracts of the REGULAR
pharmacopi3.
