THIS IS THE LAST MONTH.

The Last Opportunity Under the Five-Dol-
lar Rate for Medicine and Treatment
This Period Furnishes Positively the
Last Chance to Those Who Desire
to Avail Themselves of the Five-Doliar
Rate-There VIII Be No Further Ex-
tension-Patent Medicines VIII Not
Cure Catarrh.
One thing should be clearly and distinctly
stated at this time. This is positively and
unequivocally the last opportunity under 80
treatment. Patients who desire to take
treatment under this offer must avail them
selves oft at once. There will be no further
extension in time. Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers have sought to give all an opportunity
ofavailing themselves of this merely nomi-
nal rate. They have extended the time three
times, and this is the last period in which
the offer holds good. All patients being
under treatment or placing themselves un-
der treatment before January l, will be at
the rate of S. a month until cured.

CHECKER ITEMS OF INTEREST.

About 10 miles from Pittsburg, to the
Northwest of the State, is located the town
OF Mercer, the county seat of Mercer county,
Pa. 1t is one of those old towns that has
been laid out for nearly q century: but
having few business interests outside of the
Court House and the farming community,
Its growth has been very slow. 1t cannot
boast of more than $500 of population,
though its postal business is equal to a town
Of 5000 inhabitsnts, and in this small town
Dameth has her share of devotees, equal to
many towns of 100000 population. The
champion of this checker-playing commu-
nifty is Mr.. w. C. Cochran, attorney at law,
and also Chairman Of the Republican
County Committee. And then comes Mr..
Stranahan, Assistant Attorney General for
the State; G.. W. Mcbride, attorney at law,

very evenly matched. and who are repre-
sentatives of the two great political parties.

omen that their party will win. MI. c. L.
Law, the Recorder Of the county. and Mr..

CHER, one OF the old school, and DEW Mason,

some very interesting sittings together:
with Mr.. Lindsay, the druggist, and James W.
Bell, making in all ten good players. The
most exciting contests are those played be-
tween Squire Shipler and the pension at
torney, the latter having taken to study
published play, so that in his encounters
with the Squire, he may get that worthy of
the old school into what he calls snaps, but
the willy old veteran is not easily caught and
often comes off victorious, but Mr.. Me-
Cormick, nothing daunted, turns TO

Blackstone for more light, as he is
confident that in the. end he is sure to

visiting the town will find the above gentle
men always ready to entertain him.

Some Valuable Advice of Henry
Ward Beecher to Young Men.
PULPIT TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED
By Ministers of All Denominations in This
Section Tomorrow.
GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

The following letter from Henry Ward
Beecher to his son condenses into short
space sentiments which, if put into practice
by our young men, would be of incalcula-
bic benefit, both morally and financially:
BROOKLYN, y. Y, Oct. is, 1873.
NV Dear Herbert:
You are now for the first time really
launched into life for yourself. You go
from your fathers house and from all fam
lily connections, to make your own way in
the world. 1t is good time to make new
start, to cast out faults of whose evil you
have had an experience, and to take on
habits the want of which you have 1ound to
be so damaging.
First-You must not go into debt. Avoid
debt as you would the devil Make 1T a
fundamental rule: No DEBT! Cash or moth
ing,
Second-Make few promises. Relfg iously
observe even the smallest promise. man
who means to keep his promises cannot al
ford to make many.
Third-Be scrupulously careful in all your
statements. Accuracy and perfect frank
ness; no guesswork. Either nothing or ac-
cuIate truth.
Fourth-When working for others sink
yourself ont of sight; seek their interest.
Make yourself necessary to those who en-
ploy you. by industry, fidelity and scrupu-
ious integrity. Selfishness is fatal.
Fifth-Hold yourself responsible for
higher standard than anybody else expects
OF you. Demand more of Yourself than any
body else expects of you. Keep your per-
sonal standard high. Never excuse yourself
TO yourself Never pity yourself Be a hard
ma aSter to yourself but lenient to everybody
else.
SiXth-Concentrate your force on your own
proper business: do not turn of. Be con-
sistent, steadfast, persevering.

'My trouble dates back about three years"
says MIR. Mcfarland, "but got much worse
after an attack of the grip last spring, and
L became considerably alarmed about my
condition, so rapidly did l decline in flesh
and strength, and gladly yielded to the ad

consult specialist in throat and lung
troubles.

Continuing, she said: "My catarrhal
trouble began years ago, but never became
very serious until within the last year. Ever
since my trouble began 1 have been an
noyed with headaches, stopped up nostrils,
ringing in ears, bad taste in mouth, dark
spots dancing before my eyes and dropping
of mucuS into my throat.
"Last winter, like many others, / had a
bad spell of LA Grippe and since that time
my case took u more aggravated form. Ny
throat was sore and swollen so much so that
/ could seldom speak above q whisper Then
there was dry and tickling sensa ton in my
throat which caused me to cough great
deal, especially at night. / had pains all
through my chest but more severe IN the
region of my heart and under my shoulder
blades. had shortness of breath and pal
pitation of the heart. / was convinced that
my lungs were affected and l feared con-
sumption.
"Along with my other troubles 1 expe-
r1enced burning sensation in my stomach,
and also feeling of fullness and heaviness
across it. My appetite was very poor, and
what ate did me but little good.
II became discouraged. Life was burden
to me. l did not think 1 could live q great
while in tbs condition.
81 had read of the cures performed by Drs.
Copeland and Hail. and, knowing that they
had an extensive practice and believing
their methods of treatment to be the best,
concluded to try them. am glad that 1 so
decided, for under their treatment all
symptoms have disappeared, and to-day
feel perfectly well. know that am cured"
