The prevalence of diseases to which the German Bitters are adapted, it is with sorrow we say it. is almost universal, indeed there is scarcely a family throughout the whole extent of our country in which there cannot be found among its members that peculiar zalfow and ianguid appearance denoting a diseased Liver, or an emaciated and sutt'er ing Dyspeptic. Then of what immense importance to this class of invalids that a certain and reliable remedy should be placed within their reach; one in which no baneful or injurious drng enters into its composition; a remedy ou which the patient can rely with the utmost confi dence and certainty and be assured from actual and tangible proofs, that the article he is using really possesses the virtues attributed to it. Such a remedy is lloofla nd' s German Bitters." Thousands of dol lars have been expended in its manul'actury and difl'u- j sion throughout all parts of this continent, and the j proprietor feels the greatest satisfaction in stating, j that there is no state, county or even village where the ' XI i - - i. i i x. . i found numljers. willing to testify to its virtues. It is used constantly in the practice of a lage number of the most prominent Physicians iir the country, who bare also added their written testimony, in evidence of its great virtues. In conclusion then, we would re spectfully ask of all those afflicted with any of the above diseases to give the Bitters a trial, and rest as sured it will never be regretted.

Henry A: Wise lately made a speech at Parkersbur;, Ya. A correspondent of the ' McCounellsvillV Enquirer, who heard' h Fid, thus1 writes his impression of the man. ' if'--"-' x . . . lie says : J I was disappointed in the personal appearance i of the man.' I had expected in Henry A. Wise w sec a person , or couimanuing stature, up right bearing with Casliing eyes and nohie fore head; but he is lio such man. He is.bi'ijW the medium height; not more thau iiie "feet seven or eight inches, very spare, .would not, weigh more than a Hundred and tuirtv. probably not thjft. There is iiothimr prppossessiug , about him. rs, but in his dress lie is almost "-cloven. &.-Mf'lli&,zl&xlZvg2&vtif liisJiucrf vvas soiled witlfef- 121trJ5 -4 twbacf-o"; ls eift uaintvi.aU, -flaiiVicdr' : strea us of y f liow -saliva v V-t lot lang, rat h-r Hung aronnd bun than otherwise. 1 could see i no physical indication of greatness. A low forehead, overshadowing ' a pair of dull, luster less gray eyes that rolled with a nervous un easiness in their deep sockets; high cheek bJiies, and a eonn!e.ion saffron lined from his inordinate use of tobacco; a stooping carriage and trembliug gait did not indicate the ricat man. When I first saw Wise on the stand, during the few moments' of his' opening remarks, ns he stood before us, his shoulders drooping and beat forward, his chin and shirt-bosom spatter ed with yellow saliva, those dull eyes rolling expressions in their deep sockets, his long gray hair tossed unkempt about his temples, Ins arms hanging listlessly by his side, looking for all the world like a resurrected mummy, I thought lhat he was the most uncomely specimen of humanity ihat I had ever seen attempt to address any audience. But when, with a voice that rung as clear as the notes of the war clarion, he made his thrilling appeal with a passionate in tensity of manner, 1 thought him eloquence in carnated. Never in ni' life have I listened to such an appeal; it set the blood dashimr through mv veins bke a mountain torrent It went right home to the hearts of every Vinriniaii present. You could see in their bstei inr eves aud heaving chests, and could hear iu the re sponse that made walls Tremble to their very foundations, the effect that it had upon the multitude. There was not one there who did not long to lend a helping hand to lift the head of the eldest sister of the commonwealth from the ground and brush the dust from her aged locks. Idiotic And Fec&s-ir.drd ihUCnz. A school for idiotic and feeble-minded chil dren is located near G ermantowii, - Pa, under the management ot James B. itichards. The number oi pupus admitted uuriny;: the vear was 7 r ;. :' e uuay sixteen; discharged, and returned I tome remaining iu the school ou th.e lir.st.of Janu twenty. Savs Air lxivdiui-ds: T never vet, durnii my whole intercourse with these unfortunates, found one too low for improvement. The age at which children should be admitted can hardly be too early; indeed we would be glad ,to see half a score or more of infants in our nursery, while none should be admitted after twelve or fourteen years of age." To show what desperate cases have been successfully treated, and what patient care it requires, we will give one which came'under Mr It's, own charge, some live'years ago. It was that of a little boy live years of age, who neither walked, crept, tior even rolled over, when placed on the floor. lie could not dis tinguish his mother from a stranger, sentiment of affection was still dormant The aud the following is Mr Richards' account of the lie .tment pursued by him: "Having often noticed that an experienced nuisj would endeavor to arrest the attention of a new born infant, not by showing it some pretty toy but talking to it as if it were an intelligent being, I took this for my guide; aiid preparing myself for the task, laid upon the lloor an hour each day reading aloud to this imbecile boy, as if he understood me perfectly. This practice was persued for several weeks,-till one day, instead of lying ou the lloor, I sat in a chair. In a few minutes I saw, by his making an effort to move, that he had missed me: As soon as I again placed myself by his side lie stopped fretting and appeared j leased. Here, then, I had a 'fulcrum on which to rest my lever.' At the next lesson, instead of reading, aloud, I read to myself. He noticed my silence, and slowly putting his hand to my mout'.i, attempted to open my lips. LTpon reading aloud again lie expressed his pleasure by a smile. This practice of reading aud talking was steadily persevered in for a number of weeks, during which time 1 was enabled to gain his confidence little by little; aud during the four years which followed he more than answered my highest expectations, becomiirjr a marvel to h.s friends and those who had previously known him. At the end of that time, he could read intelligently and walk about like otlrer children. As he never vet had manifested an idea of a beinjr higher than his teaelwr, I tried to give him one concerning God, by telling him that Godjnade the apples, peaches and prettj' flowers; that he made the sun, aud that he gave us the rain. 1 then asked him what he thought of God? His reply was 'good God.' . I then asked how he felt towards that 'good God.' His answer was as natural as it was beautiful, 'I should like to kissllimi'" A Gesksois Scusckipti-on--. A western cor respondent of the Zion's Herald, iii describing the stingy habits of the people of his ilk, when called upon to assist in benevolent works, re lates the following amusing story: One of our friends was called on by a rail road agent, who Was soliciting stock along the line He had a fine farm and plenty of inOuey, and listened wt'b an animated countenance to the glowing derail of blessings likely to be realized from the proposed' railroad. The gent made an' eloquent palaver, and thought he had won- our friend aud his money, w hen he sud denly got his eye-teeth cut iu this wise.
