Fob. 27 3Aw4m Let Common Seme What is the rational mode of procedure in cases of general debility and nervous prostration Does not reason tell us that judicious stimulation Is required. To resort to violent purgation in such a case is as absurd as it would be to bleed a starving man. Yet It is done every day, Yes, this stupid and unphil- osophioal practice is continued in the teeth of the great fact that phyicial weakness, with ner vous disturbances that accompany it, is more cer tainly and rapidly relieved by Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters than by any other medicine at present known. It is true that general debility is often attended with torpidity or irrogulatity of the bowels.and that this symptom must not be overlooked.

But while the discharge of the waste matter of the system is expedited or regulated, its vigor must be recruited. The Bitters do both. They combine aperient and anti- bilious properties, with extraordinary tonic power. Even while removine obstructions from the bowels. they tone and invigorate these organs.

Through the stomach, upon whioh the groat vegetable specific acts directly, it gives a healthy and permanent im petus to every enieeoiea iuccuon. xizesuon is facilitated, the faltering circulation regulated, the blood reinforced with a new acoesaion of the alimentary principle, the nerves braced, and all the dor ment powers of the system roused into healthy action not spasmodically, as would be the case if a mere slimulent were administered, but for a eontin-uanee. It is ia this way that such extraordinary chanties are wrought in the eondition of the feeble, emaciated and nervous invalids by the use of tbu wonderful corrective, alterative ana tonio.

The up passenger train met the down freight train while passing around a curve. The engines and some of the cars were badly damaged, and four or five passengers were injured. Among the number was Mrs. Owen Chase, of Lyndon, injured in the temple. Citt Market.

Why will not our community patronise the City Market It is a clean, oom-modious building, and well ordered throughout, and a credit to Burlington. With all due re spect for the feelings of butchers, and other citizens who see fit to do their marketing outside of it, we really think that as long as choice meats at fair living prices can.be bought at the City Market, those doing business there should have the preference. The market is in a central locality, convenient to a large majority of the residents of the city, and its surroundings will be agreeable when the grounds are graded, as they soon will be, and the plank walks laid through from Main to College Street Within the building, under the careful eye of Mr. Wesley Drew, the Superintendent, everything ia in tiptop shape, though we are sorry to see six or seven stalls vacant. The following parties now have stalls in the market Daniel Barnes, fish market, which is always well supplied with salmon, halibut, and every variety of fresh fish.

L. A. A. A. Drew, large meat market, who also have an extensive trade in salmon, which they import directly from Frazier Quebec.

Their business in this line amounts to $2,000 the season. Converse Cushman, Levi Atwocd, and H. C. Smith have also meat markets, where can be found the best of meats, and where householders can be well satisfied with prices. 1 J.

S. Pierce good stock of groceries and provisions. They likewise make a specialty of garden truck. The market is open at all hours of the day and in the evening until 9 o'clock. If there is an association in our city deserving encouragement and aid, it is the Young Ladies' Christian Association.

Stearns, an excellent young man from Windham, committed suicide at Springfield, Saturday afternoon, by cutting his throat He was a member of the Sunday school of the Memorial church in that city, where he was regular in his attendance, and, in his lessons, showed a logical and well-balanced mind, that would have scouted the idea of suicide. He had a common school edu cation and had attended the academy at Towns-end.

His father is Mr. Clark Stearns, a well-to-do farmer and respectable citizen of Windham. He was employed by Mr. Amaziah Mayo, of Springfield, who considered him an in dustrious man and a desirable member of the family. No cause can be assigned for the sad and shocking act' 1 i Narrow Escape.

A brace seven inches square was jostled from its place as the Sunday morning express was crossing a bridge between Williston and Richmond, and penetrated the end of the sleeping oar about eight feet, when it was driven sheer off, without having done other dam age, than making a passage for itself through the water closet and the first section of berths, which were fortunately unoccupied. Portland Oodenebtjrqh Railroad. Three more boat loads of iron, for the Portland Ogdensburgh Railroad, arrived yesterday, and will be forwarded to Johnsbury immediately. The building of this ros i now seems assured beyond a doubt, and thfj management are to be congratulated for their energy and their triumph over conflicting interests. The public are assured by the officials of the road that it will be completed from St Johnsbury to South Hard-wick by the first tf December next," and if it were not for the lack of bridge timber, which it is almost imposaible to obtain during the summer season, it would bo finished to Morrisville or Hydepark.

The Ogdenjsburg Journal says that the car shop of the Vermont Central Road, at that place, now turns at six thirty-three feet freight cars per week, fjr the Vermont car and iron Co. This work, the erection of the two planing mills and the largely increased freight business are ik ing the Vermont Central depot grounds there a perfect hire of industry. The Ruck Point Cadets gave one of their ex cellent drills before a host of admiring specta tors, in the Square, at Platttburgh, Monday p.m. They mustered over forty strong, and were under the command of Major Fred Calkins. The boys returned in the evening in the Adirondack, very well pleased with, their excursion.
