This is the season in which these celebra-

hardly necessary to impress upon the mind of
the invalid their inestimable virtues. We
have, in our social intercourse. heard but one
expression In their favor, and that is. when
ever used they act like a charm, and prove
more efficacious than any medicine that has
ever been offered to the public. The maker
of these Bitters uses no highly-wrought pane
gyrics or flaming hand-bills to further the
sale of his Bitters, but simply throwing the
article on its own merits, to be judged accord

now in use say that it will cure all the ills COM

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING IN A CTS
TERN.-The Rockingham Register says that on
Sunday night of last week, Miss Maggie Chris
tie daughter OF Geo. 8. Christie, of Harrison
burg. went out to the cistern in the yard to get
a drink of fresh water. For some cause or 9TH
er the top had been left open for the night, and
Miss Christie not being aware of this fell into
the cistern, which was nearly full of water. Her
cries and struggles caused her sisters in the
house to rush out, and one of them had the
forethought to get limb from fruit tree and
thrust 1t to her struggling sister in time to pre-
vent her from drowning. although she had gone
down the second time. With this aid her head
was kept above water until a colored man who
heard the cries came to the rescue and succeed
ed In getting her out. Her father was at church
when the accident occurred, and there was no
male person about the premises. This was a
very narrow escape, and the many friends OF
the young lady rejoice with her.
