The HARVEST MOON.--The September
moon fuls on the 9th at 1226 a. IN. 1t is
the beautiful harvest moon and Possesses
special claims to the distinction. For. ow-
ing to the position of the ecliptic in regard
to the equator ut this season, the moon rises
for several consecutive nights with only II
comparatively small interval between the
consecutive risings The short autumnal
days seems thus to be prolonged by the
floods of silvery moonlight that make the
night beautiful as day. The phenomenon is
as easily explained rs the aXial rotation of
the earth. But in the older times. when
man was nearer to nature, the harvest moon
was considered Il direct intcrposition of Prov
idencc to assist the husbandman in gather
ing in the harvest. The waning moon was
in conjunction with Neptune on the End,
with Saturn on the 3rl, with Jupiter on the
9th, and with Uranus on the 18th. The
ncwmoon ofthe 10Th was in conjunction with
Mercury and Mars OH the 18th, and with
Venus on the 18th, passing degree and q
half north of her.

TIE MAILS.-We have never known such
general complaint of mail irregularities all
over the State of Virginia, as we have now.
The mail system seems to be in inextrcable
confusion. Either there is 4 conspiracy
among the mail officials to delay, and pre-
vent the prompt mailing and delivery of
Conservative newspapers: or else, that SER
vice is cursed with incompetent agents. One
conclusion, or the other is irresistible

oh, MyBack!.

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
icrlng is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
i;ldncy disease, liver COM
p!alnt, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
york, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever thecause, don't
neglect it, Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it doesthis by commencing
at the foundation, and MAX
ing the blood pure and rich.
