 A good hotel Any man who un- derstands the business and who will put up a commodious hotel building here and afford the public good hotel accommodation will make money.
 A tan. yard: There is no lanyard in this whole section, and the invest ment would be q sure paying one.
 A banking and brokerage business here would pay handsome return on an investment of $15,000.
 A matchmaker and jewelcr who is master of his trade can make hand some living here.
 A man who understands operating machinery for turning out axe helves, wagon-spokes, chairrounds, single trees, &c., &c., can get good birth here, if he will take an interest in new machinery of the most ap- proved kind, already here, and run it. There is good timber near at hand.
 A cooperage establishment would pay.

Oyertasising the Energies.

It is not advisable for any of Us to overtask our energies, corporeal or mental, but in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or knowledge, how many transgress this salutary rule. It must be matter of great importance to all who do so to know how they can regain the yigor so recklessly eXpend- ed. The remedy is neither costly or difficult to obtain. 1Iostctter's Stenacii Btters is procurable in every city, town and settlement in America, and it compensates for q drain ot bodily or mental energy moe eifectually tlian any invigorant ever prescribed or ad- vertised. Laboring men, athletes, stu dents, journalists, lawyers, clergyman, physicians, all bear testimony to its wondrouSly renovating powers. It in- creases the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and counteracts the Injurious effects upon the system of exposure, sedentary habits, unhealthy or weary ing ayocations, or an insalubrious eli mate, and is prime alternative, diurctlc and blood dcpurent.

He said if he was elected he would discharge tllc duties ofshis office hon estly and faithfully to the best of his ability, and asked the pertinent question why coula not the govern mcnt be run as cheap now as before the war? He agreed with Messrs- Howell and Russell in regard to pet it and grand larceny; and gave his views in full on the finance question, which did not differ materially from that of the other candidates. MT, McCracken made a very interesting speech, and he sot down.

-PALATABLE, POWERFUL, ANTiPERI- oDIC AND ToNIC.-All the neccssarics of great popular remedy are conbin- ed in Clinord's Febrifuge. As tonic, in debilitated states of system, this rem edy stands pre-eminently at the head. Yet it is more than is usually under stood by that term, for no other prepa- ration known exercises an eradicating power over intermittent diseases, at nll comparable with it. As it is probable that, in the intervals of the paroxysms of these diseases train of morbid ac- tions is going out of our sight, so it is equally probable that this remedy pro" duces in the same system an action equally mysterious, which supersedes that of the malady and thus accom- plishes the. restoration of the patient.
