EMINENT MEN OF SCIENCE have discovered
that electricity and magnetism are developed In
the ~ stem from the iron in the blood. This &C
counts for the debility, low spirits and lack Of en-
ergy perEon feels when this vital element be-
comes reduced. The Peruvian Syrup, protox-
ide Of iron supplies the blood with its iron ele-
ment and Is only form In which 1t can enter the
circulation.
To ALL. particularly invalIds spring is trying
season. Indications Of sickness should at once be
attended TO. Fatal diseases may be caused by
allowing the bowels to become constipated, and
the system 70 remain in o disordered condition,
until the disorder has time to develop ITSELF An
ounce Of prevention is worth q pound Of cure, Is
an old end truthful saying. Therefore, We sd-
wise all who are troubled with the complaints now
very prevalent-headache,in Indigestion, disordered
liver, want Of appetite, nausea or feverish skin,
to take, without delay, Schsnck's Mandrake Pills.
We know Of no remedy so harmless and decisive
in its action 1t at strikes at the root Of the
disease and produces o healthy tone to the sys-
TEN. People never need suffer from any disease
arising from dlsordered condition Of the liver II
they would take this excellent medicine when
they feel the FIRST indications OF the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or four boxes OF these pills
with them. They have an almost instantaneous
effect. They will relieve the patient OF headache
in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the
liver OF surrounding bile, and VIII enectusly
prevent bilious attack. They are sold BY AL
druggists.

Last in Cave.

About noon onThursday, the 18th inst,
Mr.. 5. Heron and a young gentleman
friend left home for the purpose of explor-
ing the great bear cave, near Hillside, a
few miles from Wildwood. Westmoreland
County. Not returning Friday morning
their friends became alarmed. anu imme-
diately organige1 a party, headed by
George Riley. Esq, to search for them.
Provided with lanterns, ropes, etc, the
party entered the ave a. Q \. NJ. After
two hours of diligent hunting they came
upon the object OF their search. The men
were in an exhausted condition, and had
given up all hope of being rescued from
their sad situation. Their lights having
failed them they were unable to find their
way through the dark and winding passa-
ges of the cave, To Mr.. Riley and his
party they owe their liyes.-J9hHst0c1

A MOST singular occurrence transpired
in YOder township a few days ago, which
is worthy Of mention. An adopted son of
Mr.. William McLane, aged about eight
years, went to the pasture field adjacent to
that gentleman's residence, for the pull
pose OF bringing home O cow. Just after
leaving the field an immense hawk scoop
ed down and alighted on the back of the
bovine. The lad tried to drive it off hay
Ing in his hand at the time q small switch,
AID the bird then alighled on his head and
fastened its talons in his hair. A little
terrier dog which accompanied him actu-
ally jumped up and caught the hawk BY
one Of its legs aud dragged it to the
ground and The little fellow then pro-
cured a stick and killed it. Upon meas
uring this bird it was found thai from tip
TO tip Of wings the length was q little over
!orty-eight inches. The courage displayed
by the bay IN this instance is worthy max
ing note ot-JohHst0WR tribune.

An Important Fact.

HOFFMAN's

From time immemorial il has been the
custom Of churches to furnish depart g. :
| brethren with letters OF commentator,
that strangers and others may take knOwl-
edge of the good standing of the ones who
see fit to transfer their membership from
one congregation OF communicate another.
We perceive that the Rev. Mr.. Hoffman,
rector Of the Somerset branch of the
Church Of the New, Dispensation, where
of The Right Rev. Petroleum Y. Nasty is
high priest, has not been torgetful to COM
PLY with the ti~me-honOred custom to
which we refer. Our worthy tOwnsman,
4. J. ColboTn, Esq, having for good and
substantial reasons, known and approved
OF all except crazy iniiationists, seen prop
or 20 take his membership out of the sect
Just mentioned, and connect himself with
the great National Church called RepU5-
lean, has received from the rector aiore-
said a letter of recommendation, and
so important did his dismissal appear in
the eyes of the Reverend gentleman that
he has even inserted this letter in his book
of faith and discipline, which he publishes
in weekly parts under the name Of S0mer-
set Democrat.
We sympathize with Mr.. Hoffman in
the great Affections with which he and his
brethren in political faith have been re-
Gently visited. Again the prOverb has
been verified that misfortuneS never come
singiy.
The greal aposlasy in Ohio. the food OF
wickedness that has overswept Iowa,
Maine, Nebraska, New Mexico, North
Carolina, Rhode Island, aud New Hamp-
shire, and the ominous cloud that over /
hangs Pennsylvania, are enough to make
even hardened men shed oceans of tears.
Now to cap the climax OF calamity. the
worthiest member OF Mr.. Hoffman's pO-
litical church in Somerset county seeks
and obtains a letter Of dismissal if pos
sible worse even than that, this recusant
and departing brother goes out as a mis-
for the opposite faith, which, en-
bracing honest government, safe banking, !
and par currency, has always been &C.
a vile heresy in the communion
of the church of tho New Dispensation
whereof Nasty Is high priest, and Hoff-
man an ever faithful and now lachrymose

This has proved to be no idle boast on his
part for he has furnished us with more
advertising than any other two agencies
with which We do business. Not only
has this agency furnished us with a large
amount of advertising but has paid us
promptly. A number of these journals
complain Ct the prices that Mr.. Weaver
pays. Now that is their own fault, They
fix their own rates and need not and
should not furnish the space 10 Mr.. Wea-
yer or any other person below their regu-
lar rates. We feel assured that when they
show a disposition to stick to their rates,
that they win get ell the advertisements at
those rates, as the Agency thinks Will be

DIED.

SUSAN JOHNSON WEYAND has closed
her companionship with man ON earth Tor
a higher and a nObler companionship with
angels in heaven. Her career on earth
was one of noble humility; her future will
be that OF a higher nobility. She lived
the life of the righteous on earth, and her
end was peace.
The subject of this notice was born in
Berlin, in this county, on the 18th of April,
1903. and died in this borough on the 9th
of October. 1915. From May, 1888, to
the close of her life she lived in lawful
wedlock and harmony with Daniel Wey-
and, her surviving husband. All through
lite her time was spent in doing good. In
the family circle her example was ever
wholesome and her virtues ever bright.
Grace was manifest in all her actions, and
as every tree IS known by its fruit. hers is
not of doubtful character. The graces
which adorned her life live after her, to be
and read in the clear light of day in
various family circles radiating from the
old homestead.
Sorrowing friends conveyed her body
TO the tomb to await the resurrection of
the just.
