Since February 28, 1879, all justices of
the peace have been ex-ojficio rangers
for their respective townships.
March 4, 1879, it was made the duty of
the clerks of the several courts and of the
justices of the peace to keep for public
inspection an itemized statement of all
amounts received by way of fines, penal
ties and forfeitures, and to pay over the
same within sixty days of receipt to the
county treasurer, to be used by him for
the benefit of the county common
schools. All such fines, &c, heretofore
collected and not accounted for, are to
be paid to the treasurer on or before
September 1, 1879. Failure to obey is a

imprisonment as the court may order.
The Steam Eugiue vu. ike Horse.
The BuUder.j
A man may now obtain a mechanical
motor, exerting the power of a horse,
for the price of a horse. If he be able
to employ 100 horses, he can obtain 100
horse-power in steam engines at a much
lower price than he would pay for 100
horses. And the animals will only last
a few years eight or ten at the outside.
They must be regularly fed, work or no
work; they must rest for at least six
teen hours out of the twenty-four. Take
what pains we will, we cannot obtain a
horse-power from a horse at much less
than four pence an hour, taking into ac
count the cost for twenty-four hours,
and the work done in eight hours or
fewer. For the mechanical horse-iKw-er,
on the contrary, which becomes
cheaper the larger the quantity in which
it is employed, a cost of a penny jer
working hour is the outside for a small
engine. For a large one a half penny
or less per hour per horse-power will
cover all expense. And then the steam
horse never tires. Instead of one rider
being able to tire out three horses or
more in a day, one steam horse will
work steadily on so as to employ the
successive cue of three drivers in the
twenty-four hours if each work for on
ly eight hours. And the steam horse
eats only in exact proportion to the
work he does. He costs, as matter of
interest of money and depreciation, less
than half the cost of the animal per an
num or per week. And as to proven
ender, he consumes only the exact quan
tity which he converts into work. For
all exertion or power in a continuous
groove, then, the productive energy
wnicn is aadea to.tne resources ot a na
tion by the discovery and application of
the mechanical theory of heat is practi

As in our busiest and most populous cities of the

plants its foot on this continent, thither the great
tonic soon finds its way. Nor is this surprising, for

wants of the" western emigrant, be he janlnef or I
agriculturist, it is an incomparable remedy for
the diseases to which he is most subject and which
tire liable to be brought on by. & change of climate,
hardship, exposure, unaccustomed air and diet
and miasmatic atmosphere and water. Among
these are disorders of the stomach; and bowels,
rheumatic ailments, and, malarious fevers, for all
of which Hostetter's Bitters is a certain specific. A
course of the Bitters before departing for the new
field of labor, or on arriving, will have the effect of
preventing the -evils for which It TS such a signal

HEB OWN WORDS.
Baltimore, MdL, Feb. 13, 1877-
Mr. H. B. Stevens: '
Dear Sir Since several years I have-got a sore
and very painful foot I had some physicians, but
they couldn't cure me. Now I have heard of your
Vegetlne from a lady who was sick for a long time,
and became all well from your Vegetlne, and 1
went and hought me one bottle of Vegetlne; and
after I had used one bottle, the pain left me, and
it began to heal, and then I bought one other bot
tle, and so I take it yet I thank God for this rem-,
edy and yourself; and wishing every sufferer may
pay attention to it
It is a blessing for health.

Mr. EL R. Stevens:
In 1872 your Vegetlne was recommended to me,
and yielding to the persuasions of a friend,
I consented to try It At toe time I was suffering
from general debility "and nervous prostration,
superinduced by overwork and Irregular habits.
Its wonderful strengthening and cumtive proper
ties seemed to affect my debilitated system from
the first dose; and under its persistent use I rapid
ly i-ecovered, gaining more than usual health and
good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to
give Vegetlne my most unqualified indorsement,
as being a safe, sure and powerful agent in promot
ing health and restoring the wasted system to new
life and energy. Vegetlne is the only medicine I
nse; and as long as I live I never expect to find a
better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK,
120 Monterey Street, Alleghany, Penn.

Mr. EL R. Stevens:
Dear Sir This is to certify that I have used
your "Blood Preparation in my family for several
years, and think that for Scrofula or Cankerous
Humors or Rheumatic affections it cannot be ex
celled; and as a blood purifier and spring medicine
it is the best thing I have ever used, and I have
used almost everything. I can cheerfully recom
mend it to any or.e in need of such a medicine.
Tours respectfully,

Dear Sir About one year since I found myself
In a feeble condition from general debility. Vege
tlne was strongly recommended to me by a friend
who bad been much benefited by its use. I pro
cured the article, and, after using several bottles,
was restored to health, and discontinued Its use. I
feel qulce confident that there Is no medicine su
perior to it for those complaints for which it is es
pecially prepared, and would cheeerfully recom
mend It to those who feel that they need some
thing to restore them to perfect health.

Dear Sir I have bad dyspepsia in its worst form

dollars' worth of medicine without obtaining any
relief. In September last I commenced taking the
Vegetlne, since which time my health has steadily
Improved. My food digests well, and I have gain
