Our Dormant Energies.

Our bodies are not as vigorous nor our
minds as clear SO they might be. TINS re.
mark is true Of al least two-thirds OF civilized
society, and of these two-lhirds probably one
half is lsboring under bodily inhrmlties oil a
character likely to shorten the lives OF Inc
sufferers. This is a melancholy exhibit aud
furnishes abundant food for reflection. Can
the evil be mitigatedi Ii can. Lack OF VI
tality is the primary cause OF most oil Inc
physical and mental suffering 10 which we are
subjected, and therefore yltaIiZing medicinal
agent tie remedy required. Is there such
medicinei There is. Hosteter's Stomach
Bitters will rouse and energize the mind and
body when the life power OF the system IS 10 a
comparatively dormant state. The Ianguld,
feeble, desponding invalid Is not aware oil the
latent energies that underlies his deoliity. lie
thinks there is no element Of vigor left IN his
frame. when the fact i, that his physical capa-
bili,ies are only asleep and merely require
waking up. Let him stimulate and tone his
animal machinery and endow it with new mo-
tive power, through the agency Of this incom-
parable inyigorant, and he will soon feel like
new man, or rather like a man who has re-
ceived o new lease Of life, and the requisite
health 10 onjoy it. Many business men suffer
from chrome languor and depression caused
by too close application to business. Hard
students are often oppressed with melancholy
from like cause. Mechanics and working
men are affected in the same way as a result
Of over-labor. To all who are in this condl-
ton, from whatever cause, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Buffers will prove signal blessing. II IS
a perfect panacea for physical debility and
mental gloom. 1t strengthens the body, clears
the mind and CALAIS the nervous system; whle
as a remedy for Indigestion, bilIousness, con-
stipaton, rheumatism, and intermittent ana
reni,,en, fevers. it takes precedence of all
other medicines.

FROM WEALTH TO INsoLvENcY.-The
assets of the estate of the late Oskes
Ames have deprecated to such an ex-
tent that the executors have concluded
to represent the estate as insolyent In
the Probate Court at Taunton, Mass
on Friday, Judge Bennett appointed
commissioners. 1t is believed that the
estate will be able to pay nearly or
quite in full, with time to realize from
investments, many of which are in
southern bonds and stocks. The estate
was currently reported to be worth from
S4,OOO,OO0 to $5,000,O00 at the time of
Ames' death. What a sermon is
text like this upon the uncertainty of
riches, and what lesson upon the wis
dom of letting well enough alone.

DESTRUCTION OF FRUIT TREES BIZ
BUGs.-It is stated that within the last
two weeks species of black bug has
appeared in countless numbers in the
peach orchards near Denton, Caroline
county, Nd and has done serious dam
age in that locality. In one nursery
the grated stocks Of $4,000 trees were
entirely killed. The insect is even ca
pable of destroying large trees, as it
thiekly covers the leaves and prevents
vegetation. None of the ordinary
means Of destroying insects seem to
avail, as this scourge is very tenacious
of life, and liquid application that will
kill the trees does not affect it. 1t re-
sembles the rose bug, and is regarded
by entomologists as a similar pest to
the cherry achid. Thus far no serious
damage has been done to fruit bearing
orchards, though the presence of the
bug is reported in peach districts about
Middletown. Specimens of the insect
will be sent to The Department OF Ag-
riculture at Washington.

Trinity Church, New York, is fire.
quently cited as an overgrown wealthy
ecclesiastical corporation. Like great
many others reported rich, a close cal
culation shows that the widest exag-
geration prevails. At the outside the
income of Trinity is not more than five
hundred thousand dollars. Of this in
come large part is consumed by the.
expenses of the estate. About cne-tenth
is given away to poor churches outside
the parish. Not one dollar is boarded;
the entire income is spent for the pur-
poses of the sacred trust, and it fire..
quently happens, and was almost inva-
riable the case until within few years,
that the annual expenditures exceeded
the income. Trinity, it is true, holds a
good deal of unproductive real estate,
but this is more Of an expense than a
benefit.

A DOUBLE DIvoRCE.-In the Supreme
Court (chambers) New York, Wednes-
day, Judge Donohue listened to mo-
ton to restrain Baron Won Rhade, the
first husband of Madame Pauline Lucca
from instituting furtherlitigation against
''die kleine Pauline" 1t will be remem-
bered that shortly after the prima ar
rived in this country she began an &C
ton for divorce from her husband on
the ground of alleged adultery. The
summons and complaint were served by
publication in the Berlin papers, at
which place the baron resided. In the
meantime, the husband had notified his
wife, through letter, that he would seek
Judgment on her abandonment, and if
she did not return to Berlin in one year
he would ask for a divorce. Pauline
paid no attention to the matter, and the
baron treated the New York divorce
with equal contempt. Thus both gain
ed Judgment by default. Pauline's, de-
cree bears date June Is, 1873, and the
baron's February 10, 1874. The latter
applied to the Supreme Court General
Term to reopen the decree and allow
him to defend himself, at the same time
charging his wife with abandonment.
The General Term decided against him.
Pauline, in her affidavit, states that she
is no longer the wife of the baron, hay
ing been divorced and remarked, and
that therefore he has no right to prose-
cute her. On the other hand the noble
man complains that he has never been
allowed to defend his character. Judge
Donohue reserved his decision.

tue recovery OF twenty or thirty thous-
and dollars, for work done by Mr..
James March, against the Cumberland
Valley railroad has been in progress in
Westminster for some time, the case
having been removed from this to Car
rol county. On Thursday, just before
the jury was about retiring, a compro-
mise by the company was effected with
Mr. March for the sum of $4,000.
Senator Hamilton and Major Douglass
of this town, and Mr.. Roberts, of West
minister, were the attorneys for the
plaintiff, and Attorney General Syester,
and Judge Smith Of Westminster for
the defendants. We are pleased to
learn of the result of this trial, as it has
been looked upon as an outrage by this
community that one of its citizens who
had faithfully performed alarge contract
should be kept out of his pay for SO
long time, and that the most strenu-
GUS efforts should be made by awealthy
corporation to avoid paying it at ALL

R1ruAIIsM.-In the Council of the
Episcopal Church of Virginia last week,
a resolution was unanimously adopted
severely condemping ritualism, and in
structing the delegates to the general
convention to ask that body to ascertain
if the present form in the prayerbook
for instituting ministers is there legally,
and if it is not there legally, to abolish
it.
The Pennsylvania Convention last
week adopted the following resolution
"That this convention earnestly depre-
Gates and opposes the introduction into
our communing of Remaining ritual
and doctrine, and deems it the duty of
its deputies to the general convention
to maintain in all legitimate ways the
Scriptural doctrines of the Protestant
Episcopal Church"

H@r THE ALDINE-Four charming
views of the beautiful and little-known
scenery in Northern Vermont, head the
list of illustrations in the June Aldine,
monthly as rare among other periodi-
Gals, as June day is rare in the year.
As heretofore, nothing yet published
surpasses these pictures, which are ex-
celient as works Of art, and characters
tic of the country they depict. "On
the Missisquoi," is the first fnll-page
picture, showing the rush and twirl of
water, and the rocks aud woods of this
enchanting river. Another picture, the
whole series being from the pencil OF
Thomas Moran, is "a glimpse OF the
Missisquoi," rs it winds through a
peaceful valley, fill Of quiet beauty. A
large full-page picture gives the behold
er "The Missisquoi atSheldon Springs"
a we'll known summer resort, noted for
the romantic beauty of its scenery.
"Mount Mansfield, from Rices Hill, is
the last of this admirable series. A
grand panorama of some forty miles of
the noble Green Mountains is shown in
this picture. Arthur Parton contributes
a fuli-page "Scene on the Shenandoah, "
which depicts the grand and remarkable
scenery near Harper's Ferry, where the
waters or the Shenandoah unite with
the Potomac, point which charmed
Jefferson. Other pictures in this num-
Der are almost Dinner" after Guido
Won Maffei; a beautiful cut of the red
deer, called GA Hard Run" after
Specht; GA Turkish Court Yard Scene"
in which a gypsy is dancing before a
group of Turkish women; "Such q
Shot," by John S. Davis, picture of
real life, showing how, when boys, we
went hunting, and met difficulties in
the path; and life-like portrait Of John
Lester Wallack, the great actor, and
the last of his name now on the Ameri-
can stage. A better list of pictures, of
greater variety, and more general inter
est could hardly have been selected.

In former years the decoration of
graves at Arlington and other national
cemeteries was confined to those of the
Union dead, orders having been issued
by persons having the ceremonies in
charge against decorating the graves of
Confederate dead at the same time.
There are indications Of more liberal
spirit than heretofore on this subject,
aud it is known that President Grant
approves of the cooperation of those
who were opposed to one another dur
ing the late war in the decoration of
graves of soldiers who heroically fell on
both sides, and that he believes the
time has come when every feeling Of
fraternity should be encouraged, and
advantage taken of every opportunity
to remove any remaining animosity oc-
casioned by the war.

A GRANGER's DREAM-A Granger
dreamed that he died. He went straight
to the spirit world, he knocked at the
gate of the New Jerusalem, aud it was
opened unto him. The books were
opened; he was asked, odd you ever
belong to any secret society To
which he replied, 81 did-to the Grang-
ers' "Then sir, you can't be admit
ted, depart" He then went 10 the door
of the bottomless pit, where the same
questions were again asked by the devil
and again he was told to depart. After
he had gone little way of, he was &C
costed by the homely ruler of the pit,
when the following propositions were
made: Stranger" said Nick, 81 will
not admit you here; they do not want
you in heaven; but I will sell you two
hundred barrels of birthstone for cash,
ten per cent. off, and you can start a
little hell of your own, with no agents
or middle-men."
