An Invaluable Travelling Com.
paniOn.
Change of climate, water or diet is apt
to induce harrassing and often danger
GUS diseases. The three changes COM
bined are fatal to thousands of emigrants
every year. Is it not, then, of the last
Importance to know that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are an absolute preven-
tive of the hurtful consequences arising
from these causes? Travellers, voyagers,
and emigrants to new countries cannot
be too often reminded of the fact that
this agreeable vegetable tonic is the most
reliable safeguard against disorders to
which they are far more liable than the
habitual denizens Of healthy regions.
The primal effect of the unwholesome at
mosphere which produces what are call
ed malariOus feyers, is to depress and de-
bilitate the system. The body then be-
comes an easv prey to the malignant prin-
ciple i'm the air. 1t is manifest, therefore,
that the surest way to avoid all epidemic
and endemic maladies of an intermittent
type, is to cOunteract the weakening ten
denotes of miasma by artificial invigora-
ton. That HOstetter's Stomach Bitters
is the surest resuscitant of tagging vigor,
is fact which is best appreciated where
ever influences inimical to health exist.
But it is not alone against malaria that
they protect the system. They so though
EN- it as to enable it to endure with i'm
punity extremes of heat and cold to
which travellers are often subjected, and
they neutralize those elements in unac-
customed water or diet which would
otherwise beget disorders of the stomach
and bowels. The brackish water with
which voyagers by sea are often compell-
ed to quench their thirst, is apt to pro-
woke dysentery and other serious COM
plants, but when the Bitters are mixed
with it. it becomes harmless Truly this
great protective invigorant is an invalu-
able TRAVELLING Communion.

b@ CHARLIE Ross.-A communica-
ton to the Baltimore Sun, dated Berry
vile, Clarke county, Va, June l, says:
If the father of Charlie Ross knows
his son as Falstaf did the true prince,
by instinct, the little fellow who for
three days has enlisted the sympathies
of the public here certainly is not Char
lie. In response to descriptions sent
by telegraph it is said that the child
here detained cannot be Charlie Ross.
The two men having him in possession
are, however, still detained. Later dis
patches have been sent to the friends
OF Charlie, stating inaccuracies in the
first description. 1t is now understood
that Mr.. Ross-cannot come to Berry
vile by reason of sickness, but upon the
reception of photograph of the child,
a friend of the family will be on, pro-
vided any likeness to Charlie is discov-
cred. The photograph has been sent
to the friends of the lost child. 1t is
now, of course, not believed by any re-
fecting person, that there is any POSSIBLE
ity of restoring to the parents their lost
boy; but the excitement has not been
without its beneficial results. One old
gentleman, who was about to step into
the grave with rheumatism, is now as
lively as youth OF sixteen. Two or
three gentlemen, whohave known from
the first that the boy here was Charlie
Ross, seem more than ever to be CON
WINGED that they are right, especially
since it is stated that the father says it
cannot possibly be his child. They walk
about town with the gravity OF the
chairman Of building committee, and
seem to be determined that the theories
that they have builded shall not be In
terfered with by the father OF Charlie
or any other man.

Purgative Pills have become a set
tied necessity with the American peo-
pie. Indeed, cathartics always have
been and always must be used, in some
form, by all mankind. In this country
the piluiar form Of administration has
been growing in favor since pills were
first made Of Aloes and Rbubarb, rolled
into a ball. Their high position in the
public confidence has finally been Sc
cured and fastened into permanency by
Ayers Cathartic Pills, the most skillful
combination of medicine for the diseas-
es they are intended to cure, that sci
ence can devise or art produce. Those
who need pills, no longer hesitate what

Mr.. Jones had rented his saw mill to
Mr. Smith, and that said Smith had
discovered something unusual in log
which the said Jones had sent to the

stead of speaking facts, is, by the false.
hoods which he writes, an enemy OF
Mr.. Jones, an enemy of MIR. Smith, sn
enemy to himself and a 'black spot" in

to state here, that Mr.. Smith says, there

LAST Monday morning. before day
light, Christian and James Kaufman,
of y alker township, hitched two horses,
owned by them respectively, to sled
for the purpose OF driving to Lewis
town for load of chopped feed. Pre-
vious to starting, the team was driven
10 the house for the purpose OF receiv
ing bags, rooes and blankets. u hile
these articles were being put on the
sled the horses frightened, broke the
strap with which they we're tied, and ran
away in the direction of Free Spring
School House. " hen they approached
the building that was once used as a
school house, for some horse reason or
instinct tine animals left the read. A post
and rail- fence interviewed between the
road aud the builGing, but II was no
obstacle to the running horses they
cleared it at a bound, and dashed
against the old school house with such
force that Christian horse was killed
instantly. The horses forehead was
broken IN and his brains were scattered
on the snow. The horse that belonged
to James was not hurt.
