"Frfghtening InyaIids. !,

The pupular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted
with pectoral disease should be supported by
every assurance OF cure, not alarmed by
the gloomy, forebodiug countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe
that consumption is incurable, and let physi>
clans theorize as they will. we have mass
of evidence to prove that persons having all
the symptoms Of consumption, congh, deep,
bloody expectora'ion, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhea, night sweats, burning
ing fever, &c, have been permanently cured
by "Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy is pre-
pared only by DR.. Swayne & Son, Philadel-
phia. Price 25 cents and 81, or SIX bottles
for S.. The large size is the most economi-
cal. Sold by all prominent druggists. Sold
in Lancaster by JAS. A. JONES. 26yl,

Notes from Montfort.

The wellfor the use of the railroad COM
pany is completed; supply of 80 feet of
water having been obtained. The depth of
the we'll is about 1875 feet The work was
done by Mr.. Ottiker, of Plattevile.
1t certainly looks like business around
Montfort now. Mr.. Strong has made ar
engagements for the immediate building of
his warehouse. and men are engaged prepar-
ing side-track by the prospective depot.
We expect, in very few days to hear the
welcome whistle of the big engine.
An entertainment, for the benefit of the
society of Good Templars was given by the
young people of this place on Friday even
ing Nov. 7th. Songs and ballads, Humorous
and pathetic, were very pleasingly sung by
Mr.. Schenk, son of the merchant here. The
play Capitola or the hidden hand, was vary
successfully rendered. No one made fail
ure and it can be safely said, that all did
well. There was no forgetting of parts, the
usual unpleasant feature of a performance
by amateurs. OF course the effect would
have been much more marked if one or two
pieces of suitable scenery could have been
procured. The evening being stormy there
there was but fair sized audience present.

Diodoroas Siculus alleges that the

most ancient of met, professed TO be
acquainted with the situation of the
earth, the rising and setting'of star 8.
to have arranged the order of days
and months, and pretended to be
able to predict future events, with
certainty, from their observation of
celestial phenomena | think that
it is in this association OF astrology
with astronomy that we find the
explanation of what, after all, ru-
mains the great mystery of the
pyramid-the fact, namely, that all
the passages, ascending. descending
and horizontal, constructed with
such extreme care. and at the cost
of SO much labor, in the interior of
the pyramid, were eventually (per.
haps not very long after their con-
struction) to be closed up. l reject

absurd to imagine that they record
the date of the great pyramid, by
construc'iol, by those most elabor.
ately conealed passages ? Why they
should have concealed them after
constructing them SO carefully, may
not be clear. For my own part, 1
regard the theory that the pyramid
of Suphis was built for astrological
observation, relating to the life of
the monarch only, as afforjing the
most satisfactory explanation yet
advanced of the mysterious circum-
stance that the building was closed
up after his death. Surprising the
part of the edifice fifty layers 10 alp
which includes the ascending and
defending passages, to have been
erected during his lifetime, it may
be that some reverential or super
stitions feeling caused his success, or
the priesthood, to regard the build
ing as sacred after his death-to be
closed up therefore and completed
as perfect pyramid, polished dd
unguem from It's pointed summit TO
the lines along which the four faces
meet the smooth pavement round it's
base. We might thus explain why
each monarch required his own as.
