" Not Very WELL"

feeling Of vague bodily discomfort, which does
not amount to positive Illness, and yet is iucompat
lille with health, is often aptly described by the
phrase, "Not very wel.p This feeling usually
arises from deficiency OF the nervous power which
is required to keep the vital machinery in vigorous
and healthiul operation. Nervous weakness has
too frequently turned out to be the prelude OF some
serious malady to admit of any doubt in the mat
ter. Inactivity of the bodily functions surely
begets their arrangement cause precedes effect.
II is therefore absolutely essential for the preser
walton of health, perhaps of lite itself that this
warning should be promptly needed The case
does not admit of delay. Revitaze the system at
once and efectually with Hostetter's Bitters-that
peerless invigorant which, by intusng new health
and strength into the system, protects it against
disease more surely than ever knight of old was
projected by armor of proof against the foe.

The telegraph line to Pembina is Just re-

sons. After numbering the family mentioned
in my former DESPATCH they left for the west
toward Fort Totten. The people of the
country, who brought their families into Fort
Pembina in the first scare. are returning to
their homes. Everything seems to be quiet
ed again, except the commanding officer, " no
seems to think there are Indians around who
have not showed themselves. l will tee-
graph him to be wide awake and watchful and
vigorous in action when any is required and
to keep posted one company from each of the
Forts Smelling and Ripley and ready to move
at an hour s notice, if assistance is ueces-
