GOVERNOR PATTIsoN had the man
illness to veto part of the approprla.
tion bill. His claim being, that the
demand of the Legislators for pay, for
service in extra session, was highly
iniquitous when EXTENDED to time not
used by them. Both branches passed
the bill over his head. The fellows
get their pay, but the Governor gets
the honor, 1t is not party question.
The Republican senate aud the Demo
cratic house both grabbed for the
filthy lucre. Perhaps some have
earned it. Let the burden of con.
vinciug the people rest with them.

HoY. WM a. WALLACE, senator
for our senatorial district, was in town
yesterday. His visit was not one Of
political nature, but on business re.
lating to the Buffalo Run railroad. 1t
is cause for just pride, when our com
munity is so ably represented in the
state senate by statesman of national
reputation. Mr.. Wallace has the best
interests of Pennsylvania at heart and
has done more than any man in it, to
free our state from the oppression Of a
single railroad monopoly. In the near
future, through his eforts, Penn-yl.
vauia will be able to compete with her
sister states, thousand miles further
from the market.

ic in this city, stating in full the symp-
toms and almost hopelessness Of my dis
ease and the remarkable means by which
| have been saved. My improvement
was constant from that time, and in less
than three months / had gained 26 lbs.
in flesh, became entirely free from pain
and believe l owe my life and present
condition wholly to Warmers Safe Cure,
the remedy which / used.
Since my recovery l have thoroughly
re.investigated the subject Of kidney diff
culties and Bright's disease, and the
truths developed are astounding. / there
fore state, deliberately, and as physi-
clan, that | believe more than one. half
the deaths which occur in America are
caused by Brights disease of the kidneys.
This may sound like a rash statement,
but | am prepared to fully verify it.
Bright's disease has no fully distinctive
symptoms of its own, Indeed, it often
develops without any pain whatever in
the kidneys or their vicinity, but has
the symptoms Of nearly every otherknown
complaint Hundreds Of people die daily
whose burials are authorized by physi-
clans certificate of Heart Disease"
"Apoplexy," Paralysis, "Spinal Com
plant" Rheumatism" " Pneumonia,"
and other common diseases, when in re-
atty it was Bright's Disease Of the Kid
neys. Few physicians, and fewer people,
realise the extent Of this disease or its
dangerous and insidious nature. 1t steals
into the system like thief, manifests its
presence by the commonest symptoms,
and fastens itself upon the constitution
before the victim is aware. II is nearly
as hereditary as consumption, quite as
common and fully as fatal. Entire fam
lilies, inheriting it from their ancestors,
haye died, and yet none Of the number
knew or realised the mysterious power
which was removing them. Instead of
common symptoms it often shows none
whatever, but brings death suddenly, and
as such is usually supposed to be heart dis.
ease. AS one who has suffered, and
knows by bitter experience what he says,
implore everyone who reads these words
not to neglect the slightest symptom of
kidney difficulty. Certain agony and pos
sible death will be the sure result Of such
neglect, and no one can afford to hazard
such chances.
l am aware that such an unqualified
statement as this, coming from me, known
as am. throughout the entire land as a
practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the
surprise and possible luminosity Of the
medical profession and astonish all with
whom am acquainted, but l make the
foregoing statements, based upon facts
which l am prepared to produce, and
truths which | can substantiate to the
letter. The welfare Of those who may
possibly be sufferers such as was, is an
ample inducement for me to take the
step have, and if | can successfully
warn others from the dangerous path in
which | once walked, | am willing to
endure all professional and personal con-
sequences. J. b. HENIoN, NJ. ID.

A HEARTY OLD GENTLEMAN.-When at

Austin Partridge, now one OF the Oldest
men in town. He was born on farm
about two miles from the Hill, and lived
there over seventy years. He then sold
out aud moved to the village. Though
eighty-three years of age, he is still in good
health, and the day we saw him he had
been at work upon the highway, and was
then at work in his garden. He takes
much pride in his garden, and has one OF
the best in the village. He is one OF the
very few now living who have taken the
Turner from the first. He subscribed for
the first volume, and has continued his
subscription every year since; says he
never felt that he could get along without
it. and the same was said by his excellent
wife. Mr.. Partridge has taste for natur-
al and other curiosities, and has quite a
collection of minerals, Indian implements,
&C., which he thinks he may donate to the
