Through the vYeary Hours

OF many a night, made doubly long BY its
protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer toss
es to and fro on his sleepless couch, vaInly
praying for the rest which only comes by
fits and starts. His malsdy is one which or
binary medicines too often fail to relieve.
But there is abundant evidence to prove
that the efficient blood depurent, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. affords the rheumatic
reliable means OF relief. Check the malady
in its incipient stages, when the first premon-
tory symptoms come on, with this agreea-
bic medicine and avoid years OF torture
Whatever be the rationale of the active in
fuence OF the Bitters upon this Malay, Ger.
tain it is that no evidence relating to its
effect is more certain and positive than that
which relates 70 its action in cases of rheum-
atism. Like all sterling remedies, however,
it deserves protracted, systematic trial, and
should not be abandoned because not at
once remedial 1t is equally eficseious in
dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred diseases.

irving from Valparaiso and 1quique
state that the situation of the Insurgents
is desperate. They are without money

without ammunition. The army, which
comprises 5000 to 1000, do not receive

able to obtain only 800 rifles, in bad

The following letter appeared In the
West Chester Local News, of the Sth
instant:
BIRMINGHAM PARK, July7
EDITOR NEws:-In your issue OF yes
terday there appears an article headed
Bloody Birmingham Whiskey and
Powder" etc. A person not acqualnt-
ed with the facts OF the case would be
very apt to form an opinion, not very
exalted, of this place, 30 II you will
allow me space In your very valuable
paper will correct some of the reck-
less statements that have been made
in reference to the Fourth of July af-
fair at the pork. The disorder was
caused by few drunken blackguards
from this vicinity. The Delaware ex-
cursionists were not driven home with
shamed faces, but went there with the
happy contentment that they were not
the disturbers, and had saved the repu-
tation of this resort by driving from 1t
the scum OF the surrounding country.
As to the Reading people going home,
to use O slang phrase, they didn't
have to, as there was no Reading peo-
pie at the park on the Fourth. Again,
the report of the priest receiving the
blows OF an assailant is false in every
particular, as IL was not necei sary to
go SO far, for the very good reason
that there was plenty of force to quell
every disturbance, which was shown
by the driving out of the park the
brawlers. This story had no existence,
only, perhaps in the Imagination OF
the writer, who wishes to stop West
Chester people from coming In the
park. Yours. P. j. HAUoHERY.
