CHARLIE ROSS.

TIE Charlie Ross mystery remains as
profound as ever, Notwithstanding the
efforts that are constantly being made to
lind the missing child. Many people a,
York believe that the boy found there few
days ago is the vertibIe Charlie, but Mr.
boss declares that he is not. When Mr.
Nef took the boy 10 Philadelphia, Mr.,
Ross saw him at a hotel in the western
part OF the city. The little fellow had
just been walked up out sound sleep, and
Was not disposed to answer any questions
put by Mr. Ross, who, although satisfied
from the first look at him that he was not
ms child, endeavored to elicit questions
from him on certain subjects. As Mr.
Ross was 10 hurry to make train for his
home, and did not keep up an extended
examination, the story has since been cjrcu. -.
lated through York county that he did
not take any apparent interest in the case
and what was believed to be Mr.
boss indifference has caused great dea,
OF comment in the neighborhood where
the lad nov is. He has received several
letters complaining of his alleged neglect
toinye'tigate, and papers have been mailed
to him containing articles relectinp unon
him. Satisfied that the boy is not his. vet
to please the people of that section Of the
State, and 10 relieve his wife from ,bo
anxiety of mind consequent upon the news
paper criticisms, he has consented to ~
to York to look further into the matter.
Mr. Ross said day or two ago, that he
was continuing Investigations IN var;ou,
quarters OF the country regarding his bow.
and was even in correspondence with no.
ties in South America. One thing ,h.,
q ouseS many unfounded hopes,is the prac.
lice OF asking questions of the children who
are taken Tor the missing boy. Persons
v no are anxious to prove that they have
discovered the missing child, elicit an.
'Sers to questions that suit their own
!; lncies, and do not give the truth. snch
If. Ross believes to be the case with tho
,.ork boy. lie has no confidence in tho
"oy'' claims, and only pursues the iuou;,v

that he has lost all hopes, through repeat.

GOVERNOR ROBINSON, of New York has
vetoed the bill permitting women to hold
eiilce as school directors, giving excellent
reasons for so doing. But, no arguments.
however sound, could save him from the
wrath to come from the Miss Anthopvs
and Mrs. Cady Stantons Of his state, to say
nothing Of the savage woman's rights wo-
men in general. These strong. minded le-
males will make standing theme of GEN.
sure for an indefinite time to come. and
some Of them, we suspect, will he rather
glad that he has furnished them with a
fresh subject on which 10 scold.

HOlfOrd Bonds.

As stated two weeks since, Land Commissioner Smithee refused to take, in payment for lands originally mortgaged to the Real Estate Bank and now the property of the State, coupons of the funded Holford bonds. The reasons for refusal were publish ed in the Gazette at the time.
 Percy Eakin, Esq, who represents the plaintiff, applied to Judge Mar tin of the Pulaski Circuit Court, for a mandamus to compel the commiss- toner to receive these coupons. The case was argued on Friday last by the attorney General for the Con- missioner, and MT. Eakin for Croft tin, the plaintiff. The court took the matter under advisement, and yesterday morning rendered decis- ion declining to grant the mandamus. From this decision Mir. Eaken has appealed.-L. R. Gazette.

Fifteen Months for < .OU.


 One dollar and half Is very low yearly subscription rate for newspa- per. It Is only twelyeand q half cents per month. But we are anxious to get all the masses more in the habit of reading. We know that if they will read their county paper they will keep better posted and be more prosperous they will think more and be more prac- tical and provident and better times will be brought about. Urged on by this desire we now make this offer, to-wit: to everybody who will remit us one dollar and fifty cents we will send the DEMOCRAT from now until the lst day of January 1879. Is not this as liberal as you could ask, and cannot every man in Pope County who is any man at all afford to take his county paper at this low figure. Send us your money at once and have your names enrolled on our subscription books, and you will never, never, never regret 1t.

Renovation, not Prostration.

Did any enfeebled human being ever become strong under the opera tion of powerful cathartics or sali- wants? It is sometimes necessary to regulate the bowels, but that cannot he done by active purgation, which exhausts the vital forces and serves no good purposes whatever. The only true way to promote health and vigor, which are essential to regular ity of the organic functions, is to in vigorate, discipline and purify the system at the same time. The ex- traordinary efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in cases of debility or irregularity of tue organs of di- gestion, assimilation, secretion and discharge, is universally admitted. Appetite, good digestion, a regular habit of body, active circulation of the blood, and purity of all the ami nal fluids are induced by this su- perb tonic and corrective. It has no equals, moreover, as preventive of chills and fever, and other types of malarial disease. To emlgrants and travellers it is particularly ser yiceable as medicinal safeguard.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu- monia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor dylng consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP can not be too widely known, Ask your Druggist about it. Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For sale by J. NJ. Harkey X Bro.
