Il FINE SHOWING.

We have received the annual re-
portof the directors ofthe G. V. r. r.
Co. The exhibit is as usual, highly
creditable to the management of the
road. The earnings are less by 1874,
600 than the preceding year, and
after deducting operating expenses,
dividends and taxes, leaves net bal
ance of $4,000 dollars. They have
improved the plant considerably by
laying steel rails and erecting new
iron bridges. The road is the large
artery of rich and fertile country,
its ends tapping the great trunk
lines of the Pennsylvania and B. &
0. r. RS, with numerous other lines
as feeders. This, by the careful man
agement of skillful and prudent off,
Gals, makes it one of the safest and
most thrifty roads of the country.

Surrounding you are brilliant states
men, diplomats and counselors, to
caution and advise. With you are
the affections and loyalty of the most
patriotic and purest people on the
globe. Before you lies the welfare
of the Nation and future glory. Be
hind you loom the rocks and crags
upon which your predecessor strand
ed. Steer clear of them. Love your
country, revere God, treat man hon
orably, recognize party loyalty.

protect the citizen abroad, guarantee

embrace plainness, gladden. the sol

THE STA TESHA MS QUEER
pHRTTY

The Statesman again attempts to
besmirch the fair fame and spotless
reputation of John Wanamaker. He
began his life's work at the rate of
$l.25 per week. BY attention to bus
mess, sobriety, industry and perse-
verance, he has amassed a fortune,
and was able to contribute funds to
aid his party in the payment of cam
paign expenses. This the Statesman
calls crime, and charges him with
"corrupting the purity of our cleo
tions." Who were corrupted, Mr..
Statesman ? Democrats! Ifso, they
must hold their principles cheap.
What of Mr.. Cleveland, who gave
his ten thousand, of Mr.. Whitney,
who added thousands and thousands,
and of Mr.. Payne, who added thous-
ands more? Are they, too, corrup-
tionists and criminals Come, now,
do you uphold or denounce them?

The result of years of untiring research,
scientific study and practical experiment
has been accomplished in the successful
combination. of the Petroline Extract, with
India Rubber and the most medicinal
gums in Porous Plaster form, and is with
out doubt the most efficacious external
Iemedy yet discovered in the history of
medicine.
The Petroline Plaster quiets the agony
of the suffering, revivifie partially paral-
yzed limbs, and appears often to reanimate
the vital powers.
The rubefacient effect of Spanish Cantha-
rides are produced by these plasters with
out the disagreeabe soreness which al
ways follows their use, and are safe and
convenient for all, old or young, of either
sex, and are always efficacious and more
reliable than lamentations or skin excoria-
tons, without the weakness and lassitude
which always follows such treatment.
Localized pains or weakness of any part
of the body are always aided, lumbago be-
ing cured in very short time.
Dropsical or watery affections of the
heart or lungs and hydro thoraX have been
cured by their use many times.
This is true also in chronic or acute dis
eases of the throat or lungs-as Group,
Quinsy, etc.
Unlike many other remedies, the Petro-
line Plaster can never do harm, as the Per-
torations with which it is so thckl.- stud
ded allow all the perspiration and eXhala-
tons from the skin to pass of freely, and
it contains no injurious principle whatever
