Hostetter's Stomach Btters. Such, at least, is
the inference we are compelled to draw from the
testimony of thousands of persons residing in UNI
healthy districts, who attribute their escape from
the epidemic and other complaints which prevail
there in the spring and autumn solely to the use
of this great protective and preventive medicine
Many western and southern farmers and plant
ers, as invariably as they SOW and plant III the
spring and reap and gather i'll the fall, admins
ter it at those seasons to their families and en-
ployces, and take it themselves from twice to
three times day. The demand for it in the fe-
yer and ague districts bordering on the AlSslss--
ippi, Ohio and Arkansas rivers Is immense; and
wherever the natural conditions are such us to
generate intermittent or remiLtent fcvers, it is
held in the highest esteem, both us an antldotc
to the atmospheric virus which provokes them,
and as swift and certain remedy for those dis
trcssing forms of disease. It is almost unncces-
sary to say that this renowned tonic and reno
vator it now generally accepted us standard
specific for Indigestion biliousncss, nervous dis,
temper, rheumatism, physical weakness and
mental dependency, not only by the public at
large, but by all unprecedented medical men.
The vust popularity of the Bttcrs has, Of course,
led to many counterteits and limitations, against
which the community arc requested to be on
their guard sep lo-eolw

Ku-kIuY.

New YORK, Sept. lS.-A Washington spe.
cial says Attorney General Williams made a
reply to Alexander II. Stephens petition for
the pardon of all the Ku- Klux coufned in the
Albany penitentiary. The Acknowledgement
denies the allegations of MIR. Stephens that the
conviction of the Ku Klux was illegal, and
that their pardon would be an act of justice
and frendness towards the South, and says
the pardon Of all of them would have no more
political significance than the pardon of those
convicted Of violating other statutes.

WIN. THOMPSON, of r., who died at his resi-
dence in this county, on Tuesday morning
last, after long and tedious illness Mr.
THOMPSON was well known in this county, and
had by his amiablity and fine business quail
fications, won the confidence and esteem of
this entire community. He was, Mt the time
of his death, one of the Judges of the Orphans
Court, over whose deliberations he presided
with dignity and impartiality. Thus a good
man has passed away, beloved and regretted
by all. A meeting of the Bar and the Judges
Of the Orphans Court was held on Tuesday, at
which appropriate resolutions of respect were
passed. These last sad tributes will be pub.
lished in our next. To the bereaved widow
we tender the sincere coincidence of this entire
