A Brilliant Record of Cures.

An American humorist tells us that it
would have been money in his pocket if
he had been born without stomach,
and then proceeds to figure up the cost of
a chronic dyspepsia, to which he is q
martyr, and which he says it is imposs-
ible to cure. On this point Josh Billings
(tor he is the party referred toy is mis-
taken. Unless his stomach differs from
all other dyspeptic stomachs, Hostetters
Bitters will cure him in less than three
months. This it would be safe to guar
antee under any penalty. There are a
few, very few, actual specifics for dis
ease in existence, and Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters may be set down rs one of them.
In cases of indigestion it never falls
Persons who had suffered for many years
almost every conceivable species of tor
ture from this agonizing complaint, have
been permanently cured with the Bitters
in SIX weeks. Hundreds of such instances
are on record, authenticated by the tcsti-
mony OF prominent men in every walk Of
HE, eminent physicians among the num-
ber. But this celebrated vegeta ole pre-
F't - SNiAicblllS llOIc tubl- u Slotu-
achic and tonic. IL is also an Alternative
of wonderful virtue. In liver complaint
its effect is as direct and immediate as that
of calomel or. blue pill, and much more
salutary ; and in all diseased conditions
of the bowels, notably in cases of consti-
patton, its regulating properties are in the
highest degree scrviceable. Tie new set
Elements in the West and all low-lyng
tracts of country infested with miasmatic
exhalations, so fruitful at this season, of
the various types of intermittent fevers,
should be always well stocked with this
incompatible cholagogue, which will cure
any case of fever and ague in period
varying from three days to three or four
weeks according to the violence of the
complaint. Nervous disorders which are
always aggravated by the aduterated
liquors usually prescribed by physicians,
are readily cured by q course of this nd

the properties Of stimulant, n tonic and

NEARLY A SERIOUS ACc1DENT.-Last
Tuesday afternoon Balch & Rule put off
small bank blast, in their claim in
Weaver Basin. From some cause the
tamping blew out and came very near
striking Mrs. N. Holman, who stood di
rectly in front but some distance away.
As it was she stopped just at the right
instant, the tamping passing over her
head and tearing her parasol into shreds.
Parties who witnessed the affair say the
escape was almost miraculous. Although
but seven kegs of powder were used, the
blast did good execution.

this number 10 felt sufficient interest in

last. F. W. Young received 9 votes and
NJ. Lang 8 votes, consequently there was
no election. The School Law makes no
provision for a second election in case of
tie, and the County uperintendent will
have to appoint some person to fill the
vacancy.

fiscal year, will foot up more than One
Million Dollars. This is the largest AS
scssmcnt returned for several years, and
is fifty per cent. more than that of one
year ago. The listing of solvent debts,

empted, has helped to swell the list, while
the loss Of large proportion of the cat.

effect. On the whole, the Assessment
