EMPORIA NEWS.
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER II, 1876.
HARTFORD.

Threshers report grain making
much larger yield than anticipated.
Campbell Bros. are distributing
their illustrated periodical among their
customers.
j. n. Spangler has been employed
to teach the Hartford school. This is
an appropriate acknowledgment of
of former services.
Miss Emma FenimOre will have
charge of the primary department.
M. l.. Harden has gone to Ohio,
hence the present calm and peaceablS
status of affairs.
Married, on Sabbath, September
9Th, by w. Combs, Esq, David Smith,
OF Four Mile Greek, to Mrs. Sarah SUIT
ton, OF Hartford, Kansas.
Rather cool.-A young gentleman
that gave a valuable gift to a young
lady in good faith, felt aggrieved and
demanded Its return. IL, however,
could not be heard from till informed
that It would be published in the EN-
poria NEWS. This peace of strategy
worked charmingly; it Is needless to
say that the article was soon heard
from.
Performing the rites for the 1irts
time, for q modest esquire, is no doubt
atrying ordeal. We hope the rumoE
Is not correct, that our local justice
had to be supported while administer
ing the marriage ceremony.
Stephen Evans has ordered, and Ii
expecting the arrival of Beaten hay
press, to be put up at this place. He
advertises for 1000 tons of hay. Thii
Will be an advantage to all concerned
The abundant hay crop this season, /
it could be saved and marketed, would
make very handsome returns. Their
Is but little occasion of complaining o
hard times when the commodity cal
be so easily converted into ready
means.
The elderly couple that were mar
ried Sabbath, are eyed So and "a years
It seems that the lapse of time is II
barrier to the subtitle charmer. Bot
have had years of experience in tn
same relation before. IL Is needless t
offer any advice or suggestions, as the
have arrived at the age of accounts
bIlIty. There will evidently be an ex
ira requisitiOn made tor tin pans, bras
kettles, shot guns, ETC., music, and
lively time among the boys. The Wis
iOnary that expects to see the Smlt
name extinct, will be doomed to dis
appointment.
The district camp-meeting, bel
In the grove east of town, Is bein
largely attended, a great many con-
Ing from n distance. Several accession
have been made to the church. Til
ministers In attendance are, Revs. Wa

sxneranos the Cause of Crime.

Present statistics show that igno-
rance is the cause of nearly all
crime. OF 800 criminals in the
Missouri State prison 200 had no
education and GOO but very little ;
one-third of the criminals of the
United States can neither read nor
write, and only one IN hundred
has q good education. A great pro-
portion of the paupers of the Unit
ed States belong to the ignorant
classes. A good common school
education would have saved the ma
jority Of them from becoming In
mates of orr charitable institutions.

UTICA, N. Y, August 29.-The
Herald of tomorrow will publish
an interview with General F. E.
Spinner on political and financial
matters. In the matter Of his own
nomination for State Treasurer, the
General says he retired from the
United States Treasury with the in
tention of leaving public life fOrev-
er. To that intention he still, cIings,
and on no account will he consent
to have his name proposed in the
convention. The General express
sd himself freely on the financial
question, and gave his theory as
that of an introconVertible bond,
bearing interest at the rate of 65
per cent. Not Judge Kelly's paper
bond, but one bearing interest in
gold and capable of being honOra-
bly, and easily substituted for our
present government skies. He de-
MED being an infiationist in any
sense of the word, but said that, on
the other hand, he was no bullion

tance of FOUR MILES.
The GrGndest Musical achievement Of the
WOrE&
Which produces the richest Music, softer than the
melody of the Wind-harp, through lately invent
ed method of steam. Its tones exhibit four times
the power OF the grandest Organ, and its harmony
transports the visitor, it were, to the land of
enchantment. This curious and intricate instru-
ment, with tones loud, clear and strong that
they are heard four miles, is the wonder, marvel
and stndy of all who see il. It's melody is by a
newly invented method of steam; and yet it is as
sweet as 1Eolian harp notes. The weight OF this

important Result Pleasantly
Achieved.

Although the days of irrational medica-
ton are happily passing away, and intelli-
gent physicians have ceased TO measure the
supposed efficacy Of a remedy by the vio-
lence Of it's effects, there still linger among
the elder practitioners few of those predi-
lectiOns in favor of "heroic' treatment.
which it would be lucky for their patients if
they had abandoned. One of these is
fondness fer administering drastic purga-
tives, such as blue pill, ealomel, jalap ami
caster oil. A contrast Of the effects of these
drenching drugs with the mild and bene6eent
operation of HOetetter's Stomach Bitters, is
the very best argument that can be 4dduced
against the wisdom of such destructive treat
msnt. The old fashioned csthartice con-
Eulse the stomach, and relax the bowels 80
abruptly and cOpiOusly as to weaken them.
HOstetter's Bitters, on the contrary, never
grippe the intestines, but produce laxative
effect resembling the action of nature. At
the same time they remove the cause of
constipation, by ArOusing the dormant liver
to secrete the bile necessary to the regula
performance of the eKcretive function, and
enable the stomach 10 thoroughly digest the
food. Indigestion and billiOuFness having
been thus overcome, a regular habit of body
Is the necessary consequence, which the
occasional subsequent use of the Bitters'
renders permanent. Every disagreeable
symptom which, in the absence of perfect di-
gestion and evacuation, harnesses the svs-
TEN, yanisheg under the influence of the
great national stomach ands alternative.
Health and vigor are twin blessings that
follow its use.
