H. EASTMAN would still invitethe at-
tcntion nf the afflicted, and the public
generally, to his Elixir of Health.
He is encouraged to do so from the in
creased evidence of its efficacy as a succes
ful remedial agent for ninny of the maladies
and diseases to which the human family are
subject. From eight years experience in
the efficacy of this medicine, he is warranted
in assuring the public that no medicine has
proved so universally salutary and beneficial
as a family medicine. It was devised as an
assistant to the efforts of nature whose op
orations nre always exerted to rid the sys
tem or Whatever is deleterious, and tn main
tain a healthy action throughout. This she
would ever accomplish were she not occa
sionally overpowered by counteroctingcau
scs, such as marsh miasmata, impure air
colds, exposures, irrregularities, be. By
these the primary organs are deranged, en
feebled and overpowered hence disease in
some form Is the result.
The Elixir was designed to assist nature
in expelling from the system all morbid and
deleterious matter give vigor, tone and en
ergy to the digestive organs and tho secre
tory vessels, the prime regulators of the
whole, upon the proper action of which de
pend the health of the entire system.
The success which lias attended the ad
ministration of the Elixir, proves conclusive
ly that it answers the purpose of its design.
It is adopted and has proved most signally
successful in all those cases of deiangement
of the digestive organs indicated by loss of
appetite, nausea, oppression from food,
acidity, heartburn, weakness, lassitude, a
sense of weariness, pains in the stomach,
side shoulder or limbs costiveness dizzi
nessbillions habits nervous symptoms
melancholy dejection of spirits disturbed
sleep cold hands and feet sick headache
liver complaints jaundice 6;c. For
Dyspepsia it has proved more successful
than any other known remedy. For feeble
and dulicule females, childre.i whose health
has been unpaired by Ague and Fever and
other diseases: it proves a sovereign resto
rative for I hat state of ill health so frequent
ly met with in new and flat sections, and
such as border on sluggish waters, indica
ted by pale and sallow countenances, debili
ty, loss of appetite, billions habits be, it is
invaluable and from its powers of removing
morbid matter fromlhe syBtcm preventing
its accumulations and keeping tho digestive
organs in a healthy and vigorous state, is n
powerful pruentntive of the diseases inci
dent to such countries no new settler in
such sections should, as he values his
health, dispense with its use. females ot
from fony to til'ty years of age, have found
it a powerful asssistant to nature in the im
dopes g change which the system then un
tcorlanton a proper termination of which
edpends their subsequent health. It is also
asalutary assistant in removing obstruc
tions. As a common family mediiinc, the
Elixir is unequalledbeing a perfectly safe,
mild yet efficacious phys icit does not nau
seate the stomach or debiliate the system
hut thoroughly cleanses the stomach und
bowe ls, restores and maintains their healthy
action. Itis entirely botanical in its com
position and may with perfect safety be ta
ken at any age. by either sex, in any condi
tion ol hie. The proprietor is aware thai
the woild abounds in patent medicines
some of which are valuable and others
worse than useless: and that much imposi
tion is practised on the public by these me
dicines. But from eight years experience
in the effects of his Elixir, the increased de
mand and reputation it has secured wher
ever known the proprietor does with, the
most entire confidence recommend it to the
afflicted as an invaluable remedial agent
for such it has proved, as thousands will
bear witness, many ot whom Ind exhausted
every other known remedy and despaired
nf relief, and now from the use of the Elixir
enjoy perfect health.
Testimonials from the most respectable
sources may be seen on the wrappers ac
companying the medicine. But the most
sure testimony is: its use, and on this testi
mony I denend for its perpetuity.
For Bale, wholesale and retail, at the
Drug Store ot the subscriber, in .anesviiie,
where he keens constantly on hand a gene
ra! assortment of Drugs and medicines, of
the best quality, among which are all the
valuable Family medicines.

Tremendous affair at Huron
dlleadkul row, but ho livrs lost.
We understand that a teirible public ebulli
tion occuirefl at Huron, a few days ago,
which resulted in tearing down the stairs
that led from the surface of the vulgar earth
up to the attic from which emanates the
Huron Commercial Advertiser. We are
advised that the editor is now obliged to
mount his airy height by means of a lad
der. There are intimations that the editor
of the Cleveland Herald is acquainted with
the facts in the case. Do tell us, Mr. Har
ps, why Mr. Gray has been harrasscd
in this manner.
The Cleveland Herald states that the
millers of that place are paying one dollar
per pushel for nov wheat. The general im
pression seems to be that that will be the
average price of the crop, along the lake.
A fight is soid to have taken place be
tween the parties of the Sioux and Chippe
wa Indians, that resulted in the killing of
about fifty of the former and on hundred
and fifty of the latter. The Sioux were the
aggressotp.
It is stated in the Cleveland Herald, that
wheot is now sent from Wheeling to the
lakes, by the way of the river and canal.
Rather a long route, and not the most di
rect in the world.
ToponiiAPHr. The editor of the Nation
al Intelligencer in noticing an article from
our paper places the location of our town in
Indiana. Heaven send him one good rous
ing shake of the ague just to jog his memo
ry! 1 his is the second time he has done
that thing; the next time, we will send him
a bottle of our concentrated quintessence.
The Detroit Free Press, talks of having
us cupped, to pet the fever and ague out of
our sys'em. If we had thirty odd thousand
dollars a year in treasury pap. as he does,
and did'nt get fatter on't than he does, they
might put their cupping aparatus over our
mouth if they pleased. O show, man! Cup
thostote! Cup the state. The Governor's
in his cups already.

ours at Batcsville has furnished us with the'

in the back part of tho " Ranunsack" coun

man" named Vowels, a red hot democrat,,
and not over bounded with honesty. Kichv

to attain his ends, Vowels has always agang"

"Jacktaek" of the Peace, or rather Justice)

conscience as a crying hyena after a sever,

with tl.e governors name and seal to- it,,

himself wonderfully elated and started !.
his way home rejoicing.
Arrived there he commenced strutting;'
and cutting a dignified swell about and:
across his cabin.
" Whut has got into you Blumpy?" asked,
his wife.
" Don't bother me," said Blumpy.'
" What are yon galivanting about in that'
high-fululing Btylo for?" continued his wife.
"I'm a made mail" was the mysterious-,
nnewer.
" Something has made you crazy, Blum
ny."
"Crazy! Look here," said the husband,.
showing the commission, "look here, Mrs'
Biumpy see this I knew that keeping that
horse Champion would bi ing me out. I ami
now Justic e of the Peace, and will be in th
Legislalure next year, sure. Had'ut we
better put another story on tho house, Sal

frog and blowing like a porpoise.
" In course we had. Maint I strut toe
Blumpy?"
"Certainly catch Hold here," said her
husband, offering his arm. They were now
hard et it, strutting and "amplifying" about
the room. The children were astonished
at the mad pranks of their parents, and
thought they had found a gold mine.
'Mammy," said one of them, " maint I strut,
too, with you and dad?"
"Set down, you rascal you," said Mrs..
Blumpy. "Nobody is in office here, but
your dad and me," at the same time knock
ing the liltlc Blumpy over with a chunk
Some days aftor this, and when Blumpy
had cooled off a little, the "old man" wss
called upon to make his first appearanoeas a
justice, nnd try a case. Rigging himself"
out in his Sunday-go-to-the-tavcrn suit lid
was upon the spot in season. The case
was one in which his friend and patron vs
engoged Vowels vs. Datem. It was au
open account his master had made out
against Datem for sundry goods, wares and
merchandise, to which the latter demurred..
Vowels oponed the argument on his own
account in a violent strain. Turning to Da
tem, the defendant, he commenced with
