BE WISE IN TIMC.-It is a well known
fact in medical science that some diseases
which used to be very prevalent have died
ont, are no more known. And there are
others which would become extinct if the
people would but exercise common caution
and treat properly the slightest symptom.
Take for instance that most deadly of all
diseaeea-consumptio which constaGtly at
tacks and carries off the young, the delicate
and the studiOus. This disease did not
come all at once, il gave ample warning IL
began with a slight cold, which neglected
brought on cough, and the cough not tie
ing attended to in its incipient state gener-
ated pulmonary tubercle, and consunD Dtion
followed. The moral of this is; never ne
glect cold, never put off the treatment of
a cough, when there is remedy which will
cure either, which will so thoroughly re-
move any inflammation of the bronchial
tubes, the throat or lungs, that no fear of
consumption need trouble those who take
1t. We alluJie to HaSsOn' s Compound Syrup
of Tar, which has stood the test of long trial
and has never been known TO fail, which is
endorsed by the leading physicians of the
country, and which is beyond doubt the
most powerful specific for coughs, colds,
hoarSeness, catarrh, sore throat, asthma,
and similar diseases, ever submitted to the
American pablic.-DareHport Times

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH- H-ObStructions
of nasal passages, discharge falling into the
throat, sometimes profuSe, watery, acrid, or
thick and tenacious, mucous, I5rtrsllent,
bloody, putrid, offensive etc. In others a
ears, deafness, ulcerations, crabs from uI-
GERS, voice altered, nasal twang, offensive
breath, impaired smell and taste, etc. Few
only of above symptom are likely to De pre-
sent in any case at one time.
To Cure-tahe Dr. Pierce's Gold Medical
Discovery earnestly, to correct the blood
and system, which are always at fault, also
to act specifically, as it does, upon the dis
eased glands and lining membrane of the
nose and its communicating chambers. The
more | see of this odiouS disease the more
positive is my belief tina: if we would make
treatment perfectly successful in curing it, we
must use constitutional treatment to act through
the blood, well as a soothing and healing
local application. DIR. Sage'S Catarrh Rem
edy, when used warm and applied with DR.
Pierce's Nasal Douche, effects cures upon
common sense" rational and scientific
principles, by its mild, soothing and heal
ing properties, 10 which the diseases gradu-
ally yields when the system has been put
in perfect order by the use of the Golden
Medical Discovery. This is the only per-
fectly safe, scientific and successful mode of
acting Upon ami healing it.

dltors settlement of the Poor House ac-

DEAR FREFHA N-Some of your readers
may desire to hear moro about the grand en-
tertainment recently alluded to in your col
umns than yOu were able TO communicate
in yesterdays issue, and with your leave [
propose to CRAFTY them. To say what | be-
lieve and know, it was splendid success
One hundred and forty-threc couples were
in attendance. L may say the large hall was
filled with guests, and no more sociablc and
happy crowd of people ever met together to
enjoy the pleasures of An evening. After
indulging in innocent amusement and par
taking of such deicacies as oysters. etc, the
delighted participants retired at an early
hour, well pleased with the enjoyments of
the evening. ST. Patrick Society, for whose
benefit the entertainments was gotten up,
and from which over three hundred dollars
were realized, are truly thankful for the
kind patronage bestowed on their Iaudable
enterprise.
The hotel known as the ''Gailitzin House"
was this week purchased by Colonel John
Woods, of Altoona for sc, 900. Our estima-
BILE friend, Michael Fitzharris, will retire
from the business of hotel keeping on the
first day of April next, bearing with him
the good wishes of his neighbors and a repu-
tation for Keeping public house in strict
accordance with the law of which he may
well feel proud. 1t is needless to say any
thing about Col. Woods abilities ''ho-
telist." His character is known, | may say
throughout the State.
A little child of Mr.. Peter Burns, of this
place, was interrc.l in the Catholic cemetery
at the Summit to-day. 1t w rs accidentally
sca!ded few days ago, which caused its
death. Yours, &c, T. J. p.

She has been il Cincinnati, PIItsburg Phil

she has been houorably mentioned in all the
leading papers as performer OF unsurpass-
ed merit. Even critics in music have ex-
tolled her ability. Miss LHckhardt is
most amiable lady of a most worthy family,
and it affords me great pleasure to learn
that her musical talents are highly appreci-
ated Ly those who are competent to judge
in such matters. She has been offered
high salary to travel through the States, but
thus far she has declined. hope high hon

MANKIND.

Mankind after all is said, are not much
worse than other people. Some have the
rough side out and some have the rough side
in. but when each one is anal lyZed there Is
just about the same amount OF original SIN
and of actual transgression. 1 doubt very
much whether any living human being
would be willing to nave one years thoughts
printed in full in newspaper. Some men
are foolhardy and belch forth nearly all they
think. while other hypocrites present the

but there is good in every heart and evil In

about even.
