raiding throughout the territory, and

Marshal Schnitger departed on Mon

Tobacco Instead of Wheat.

Reading Times and Dlspatch.
Lancaster county thirty years ago raised
the largest wheat crop of anv county in the
republic. The change made in the agri-
culture of Lancaster by the cultivation OF
tobacco is remarkable, but shows the facll-
itv with which our Pennsylvania farmers
can become succe ssful with any crop to
which they seriously turn their attention.

or all their ills and aches. Be it. however
strictly understood that we prescribe and use
but one article and that Is.
REIGART'S OLD BRANDY,
Sold by our enterprising young friend, H.. E.
SLAYMAKER. This Brandy has stood the
test for years, and has never failed. rs far
as our experience extends, and we therefore
give it the preference over all other Brandles,
no matter with how many jaw-breakiDg French
titles they are branded. One-fourth OF the
money that is yearly thrown away on various
impOtent dyspepsia specifics would suffice to
buy all the Brandy to cure any such case or
cases. In proof OF the curative powers OF
Reigart's Old Brandy,
In cases OF Dyspepsia, we can Summon mum
bers of witnesses case in particular we
cite:-
A hard-working farmer had been afflicted
with an exhaustive Dyspepsia tor a number OF
years: his stomach would reject almost every
kind of food; he had sour eructatiOns con-
| stantly-uo appetite-in fact, he was obliged to
| and as a beverage he used McGrlnn's Root
| Beer. He Is Methodist, and then, as now,
preached at times, and in his discOurses often
declaimcd earnestly against all kinds of strong
drink. When advised to try
Reigart's Old Brandy,
| In his case, he looked up with aston1shment,
| but after hearing of its wonderful effects in
the cases of some of his near acq uaintances, he
| at last consented to follow our advice. He
| used the Brandy faithfully and steadily; the
| first bottle giving him an appetite, and before
| the second was taken he was Il sound man. with
| a stomach capable of digesting anything which
| he chose to eat. He still keeps it and uses lit
| tie occasionally; and since he has this medi
| cine he has been of very little pecuniary bene
| fit to the doctOr.-A PRACTISING PHYSICIAN.

James Brooks aud Credit ,,ob,l,er.


The Philadelphia Ledger's New York corre-
spondeut has this to say for the Brooks family:
Now that Credit Moblier explanations are
IN order, both from the living and from the
living on behalf of the dead, it may as well
be stated with regard TO the late James Brooks
Expelled from congress aloug with Oakss
Ames), that If he ever owned any of that stock,
nobody connected with his family has ever, In
any way, had the benefit of 1t. This is Gu
rious circumstance. Brooks admitted In the
house that he had "A few shares" but OK
planned that they were purchased for his SON.
in.law, Nelson, for investment, and that he,
personally, had no earthly interest in them.
Some of his surviving relatives are firm in the
belief that, if he had stayed at homo to defend
himself from the attacks OF certain city jour
nails, instead Of going Off on q journey around
the world, the whole matter would have taken
II different turn. As IL was, they say the
charges were repeated in his absence SO often,
without eiciting word in defense, that the
public as well as congressman ultimately came
TO put faith in them. To these explanations
may be added the solemn asseyerations Of
Brooks TO yeur correspondent, just before he
left for China, when he had tho strongest mo.
tives for speaking with the utmost franIness,
that the charges against him were totally de.
void Of foundation, and that the motives Of
those who were preferrug them were simply
partisan persecution and black mail" A BIZ
Ography Of Brooks has been written, and il
will probably be in print before long, in which
case there is reason to believe much new light
will be thrown on the whole transaction as
well as upon the rest of the drdmatis persoiis.
The biography was written shortly after his
death, but Tor some reason or other it has
nevor been given to the public II would be
n curious turn of affairs, now, if these Oakos
Ames revelations should mako the publication
u necessity.
