briefly but pointedly shows up some
of the workings of the Radical Regis
tration act passed by the last Legisla-
ture:

ages fraud. 1t imposes heavy penal
ties Oh those who may fraudulently

of the ballot, while the more wealthy

broke into Messrs J. H. Rowland Il Co. S
Office last Friday night, and forced open a
drawer where the key of the safe is kept,
and took all the change they had amount
ing to about five dollars. The party who
did it was well acquainted with the man
ner of the firm in keeping the safe key III
that particular drawer. Hereafter the
firm will take all of the money, large and
small, out of the Office to save thieves the
unnecessary trouble OF breaking open WIN
dows and drawers.
AMUSEMENT
Sanford's minstrel troupe drew small
crowd at the Odd Fellows Hall, October
10Th. The performance was very ordinary,
indeed, and it is wonder, these hard
times, how some find the spare change to
invest in such humbug.
RAILROAD MATTERS.
The Phil, vii. Il Bait railroad have
placed new cars on the $50 a. Nj. train
to Baltimore, which is under the polite and
accommodating Capt. Donaldson as con
ductor and who has Mr.. +. 5. Gilligan as
baggage master, and a better or more
obliging one cannot be found in the country,
while MIR. Calvart as brakesman cannot be
beat, for many are the kind acts he does for
all who live along the road and desire his
assistauce.-The Pbia. & Bait. Central
railroad had their track sufficiently re-
paired, on Tuesday, to bring the Engine
and cars down to start the go A. NJ. train
to Philadelphia. The first train settled the
road bed near Liberty Grove about ten
inches. A large amount of freight had
accumulated and their trains have been
very heavy every since.
REPAINTING.
Messrs. J. H. and r. E. MCClenahan
have had their dwellings painted with en-
amel paint, which adds very much to their
appearance. Mr.. Alex. Jackson had the
contract for the work, and it is only neces-
sary to say that it is done in his usual
manner.
TEMPERANCE.
Rev. J. A. B. wilson, from North East,
spoke at the temperance meeting in Odd
Fellows Halls, Tuesday night, and made a
we'll directed effort in the good cause The
meetings continue to be as largely attended
as at its commencement, the hall being
nearly full.
RELIGIOUS.
Rev. Geo. r. Kramer and Elder Wolfong
commenced service in Abraham's Hall, on
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Kramer preached
Tuesday night, Wednesday afternoon and
night The hall was well filled with an
attentive audience, who listened carefully
to hear what the minister had to say.
OUR RIVER

some RATS come down as soon as it is low

THE GREAT REGULATOR SIMMONS LIVER
observation-disclosures is the season of the
year above all others when the system is
liable to get out of order and severe and
dangerous bilious attacks frequently follow.
The principal cause of nearly all sickness
at this time of the year has its origin in a
disordered Liver, the largest organ in the
body, which if not Regulated in time, great
suffering. wretchedness and DEATH will en-
sue. A little precaution taken in time in
the shape of a reliable and etficacious Liver
Regulator will in most cases prevent illness
and fatal consequences. No medicine in
modern times has gained wider reputation
than Simmons Liver Regulator manufac
tured by J. H. ZEILIN & Co. This Justly
celebrated medicine Regulates the Liver,
promotes digestion, and fortifes the sys-
TEN against malarial diseases.

How to Cure Sickness

Natures method of publication and

principle of judicious purgation;and when
it is considered that the best physicians

stomach and bowels rs preliminary land

not difficult to perceive that q remedy
possessing all the requisites of purgative
and Alternative, in addition to other and
valuable remedial influence, must obtain
oritSelf more than ordinary consideration
and favor. Our remedy combines every
quality required for lEc treatment of dis
ease on the abovv-.i..med rational princi-
pie. 1t is q pleasant Cathartic, active
or gentle, according 10 the dose; it is a
Blood purifier, toning and enriching this
fluid by its Alternative property; its action
on the Liver is soothing and certain, pro-
noting the hillary secretions; it is safe
andr reliable Emmenagogue, acting speciti-
cally upon the uterine system; it affords
the greatest attainable relief in Dyspepsia,
and cures whenever used as directed;
and in conjunction with hygienic means
is the best preventive Of Constipation
that can be suggested.
From the above it would then appear
that the simplest method 10 cure sickness
is that one which combines .judicious pur-
CATION with physical sustenance, and the

To Prevent Sickness,

The pronounced opinions of the ablest
Therapeutics indicate that most diseases
are the direct result of yitiated Blood; and
SIS their successful treatment of disease is
founded on the principle and practice of
eliminating this blood poison by judicious
purgation, so this same principle, by rea-
sonable adaptation to any case, is the
srrest means TO prevent disease.
Kellers Vegetable Life Drops are an alb
solute preventive ofdiseases caused by I'M
purity Of the Blood, of Liver diseases, of
diseases ofthe Stomach, Intestines, etc Its
corrective influence will prevent or short
en- attacks of Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Merry
Gus Debility, Uterine disorders, Fever and
Ague and all that numerous class of dis
eases induced by malarial poison. To pre-
vent disease, then, purify the blood if
needed by using reliable Alternative and
purgative; this, conjoined with the observ-
ance of hygienic directions, will establish
a condition of body il which health will
be the rule and disease the exception. A
careful pcrusai of the "Manual of Purga-
tive and Depurativc Medicine" will fully
illustrate the subject of which the above
is u mere outline, and will clearly indicate
