A Tone, WITHOUT ALCoHoL.--The Peru
Protoxide of Iron, which vitalizes, purifies,
and enrlches the blood. Dyspeptics and
those suffering from Chronic Diseases read
the following:
From Rev. John Gregory, Pastor of the
Wesleyan Methodist Church, at Pittston.
LuzerDe Co., Pa. My Dear Sir-Having
at various times, personally, and in my
own and other families, tested the great
value of the medicine called Peruvian
Syrup or Protected Solution of Protoxide
Of Iron, | most cherefuly recommend it.
especially to those who are suffering from
dyspeptic and nervous disorders. AS a
reliable and powerful Alternative, it is,
think, unsurpassed: and as "a tonic, free
from all the Objectionable features of alco-
holic remedies, it is a most efficient auXili-
AIRY to the temperance cause. One of the
greatest hindrances to the temperance
reform at present is, as | think, the medical
use of alcoholic stimulantS. Whatever
may be argued as to their necessity in
certain cases, we have, in the Peruvian
Syrup, a safe and efficient substitute for
those dangerous remedies. This testimony
is given unsolicited, with the hope that
some who are not yet acquainted with the
valuable properties of the medicine may
be induced to give it trial. Yours truly,
JOHN GREGORY.

Syrup mot Peruvian Bark. Sold by deal

MARYLAND's DAY AT THE CENTENNIAL

MARYLAND's DAY AT THE CENTENNIAL.
Such scene as was presented at the
Centennial grounds, on Thursday last, has
never been witnessed before, except on the
day devoted to Pennsylvania. $50, 900 per-
sons were upon the ground mostly from
Delaware and Maryland. The throng was
so great that sight seeing, so far as the ex-
hbition was concerned, was out of the
question. 1t was just one surging mass of
humanity, hustling and jostling each other.
The military display was very fine, the
Fifth Maryland, as usual, bearing away
the palm. The ceremonies of the day
took place in front of Marylands building.
Addresses were delivered by Gen. Hawley
and Gov Carroll, after which J. V. L.
Findlay, of Maryland, Orator of the Day,
delivered an Grafton.
The grand tournament, of which SO much
has been expected, proved to be consider
able of fizzle. The ground was in bad
condition and new to the horses and riders.
A very poor exhibition was the result. The
competing knights were from Maryland,
Delaware and Virginia, the majority being
from the former State. They were allotted
as follows: Messrs. H. Crozier, New Hamp-
shire; f. H. Mcfarland, Jr.. Massachus-
etts; L. Z. Lusby, Rhode Island; VIM. P.
Bryan, Connecticut; George V. Bacon (of
this town, New York; c. d. Chapman,
New Jersey; H. NJ. Perry, Pennsylvania;
R. T. Kane, Delaware; r. w. Hereford,
Maryland; E. F. Gallaher, Virginia; J. NJ.
Hardy, North Carolina; L. n. Jarboe,
South Carolina; G. \. Fox, Georgia: Chas.
White, Jr., representing the Centennial,
and Master A. b. Suit representing the
Union. Each knight who rode had three
tits; possible rings, nine. The following
is the score made: New Hampshire, );
Massachusetts, l.; Rhode Island, 3; Con-
necticut, Z, New York, 3; New Jersey, 3;
Pennsylvania, 2; Delaware, 8; Maryland, 3;
Virginia, 3; North Carolina, 3; South Car
DINA, 6; Georgia, 2; Centennial, 6; Union,
.. Delaware having gained the largest
number of rings was declared the victor,
and the fitting was continued in order to
run out the ties until the list stood as fol
lows: Delaware first, Centennial second,
Connecticut third, South Carolina fourth
and Maryland fifth. The entertainment
lasted until almost five o'clock, and as
darkness was then rapidly approaching,
the crowds of spectators soon dispersed.
The ceremony of browning the Queen of
Love and beauty in Judges Hall, at night,
was witnessed by good audience. The
lady upon whom the honor fell was Miss
Perkens, of Buckingham county, Va.

DEDICATIoN.-The new chapel on the
turnpike, two miles south of Elkton, is
nearly finished, and the day for its dedica-
ton has been fixed for the last Sabbath in
this month, (the 29th.) The dedicatory
sermon will be preached at p o'clock in
the afternoon, by Rev. John S. Inskip, of
Philadelphia. Mr.. Inskip is well known in
this vicinity, and many will be glad of the
opportunity to hear him. The evening
sermon will be preached by Rev. George r.
Bristor, of Bethel. The singing on the
occasion will be conducted by the Eikton
choir.

A CARD TO THE AMERICAN Public
For many years we have made two med
icines suited to the ailments of a vast class
of sufferers. Thousands of cures have
been made by them, and, in fact, the word
failure could never be coupled with them.
But within the last two years counterfets
of our medicines have sprung up, danger
ons in their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box Of Holloway S
Pills and Holloway's Ointment the fac
simile of the signature of our Agent, Mr..
Jos. Haydock. TO counterfeit this is felony.
We shall reentessly pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigor of the
law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass of the American people will
aid US i'll our efforts to protect their health,
and help us in our task of bringing these
most unprincipled men to the bar of
justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr..
Jos. Haydock's signature is attached to
each Box of Pills or Pot of Ointment and
the end will soon be reached.
The public's obedlent servants,
HOLLOWAY & Co.

POLITICAL MEETIN GS.

On Thursday night, the 18th instant, the
Republicans held district mass meeting
in this place, which was largely attended
considering the inclemency of the weather.
The speakers acquitted themselves like
men," The North East Band was in
attendance. On the following evening, the
Democrats held forth. Their meeting, we
understand, was well attended by boys,
some Republicans, and fec Democrats.
The speaking was composed principally of
epithets and misrepresentation of Presi-
dent Grant, Title negro, and a large
amount of reform, backed up with some
bourbon, which are the principal elements
of the Democratic party. AS James says
faith without works is dead being alone,
so is Democracy without negro and whisky.

The Democrats, if they secure every cleo.
toral vote from the South, have still to
secure II more in order to elect their can
didate. This they cannot do without the
% votes of New York, that it remains
true, as we stated months ago, that New
ok is absolutely necessary to the Demo
Gratis, but not TO the Republicans. When
ever the public credit has been assaulted or
danger apprehended from the South, the
Republicans have usually prevailed in each
of the Northern States. The greater the
probability that the South will be united,
the greater the probability that the Demo
Gratis may be beaten, not in New FORK only,
but in every other doubtful State, and that
even with New \ DIRK they may fail. Flee
tons prior to the recent developments at
the South are therefore not sure indications
of the result in November. The Democrats
require, not only New York, but 70 more
electoral votes, and even with New ork
and Indiana, if they miss single Southern
State they are beaten. But there is at this
time every reason to believe that they will
be beaten in New York. With the aid of
many thousand Liberals and Independents,
Mr.. Tilden polled 4l6, 600 votes in 1874,
while in spite of the opposition of the
Liberals 100000 votes were polled for
President Grant in 1872. In this contest
the entire Republican strength will be
polled; it will be reinforced by thousands
of Liberals of 1872; and it will also be
reinforced by thousands of Democrats who
Ndistrust the position of their party with
respect to the finances and the public honor.
Similar changes appear in other Northern
States. The Republicans have only %
votes to gain, even if they are defeated in
every Southern State. Indiana with two
other doubtful States, or New York alone,
would give them the requisite number.
They will naturally concentrate their efforts
upon New York, for their prospects there
are excellent, and victory there is victory
everywhere. But they are not compelled,
as the Democrats are, to stake everything
upon single State. 1t is quite within the
range of possibility that, while the Demo
Gratis are straining every nerve to win New
York, the Republicans may carry Indiana,
California, and either New Jersey, Con-
necticut, or single Southern State.
