IARKDS' CERMAN Thesi* bitters are manufactured by the pro­ prietor from, GERMAN ROOTS, iinjH>rted by him, Tlie receipt of these Bitters was obtained bv the proprietor in 1*45 , from an old an 1 exuerieiiced physician/then a p'tv- sician iii the Prussian armv), aijd a graduate of the highest medical collets of Gennany. These Hitters are Guaranteed to eore the se- verest cases of mAUKHCEA, IN DIG ESTfON, P^rSPEP»SIA: and are a certain preventative of FEMALE SICKNESS, CHILLS AND FEVEH, AND AGTE, Diarrhoea is a disease characterized .by an increased discharge from the Bowels, usually in a very tiijuid state, and tKonetimos contain­ ing a large quantity of Bije, Besides tlio vari­ ous purgative medicines, undressed or in'li- gestable food, or vegetables, acid fruits, oilv or putrid sulxtanees fr«(|uentlv cause Diarr: hu'a. Physicians distinguish varioiis kinds of Diarrh«?n. as (craiuilosa) when the forces nass off ordinary .quality: "bil'osa" when the bile is more abundant than natural; "mucosa" when the excrements contain a quantity of mucus; •"serosy" in which thev are almost entirely liquid and watery ; and' "licnteria" when the f<»ad passes through the Ij«idy in an almost un altered state. There are frequently, also nausea and vo niting, a bitter taste in the mouth, a furred and yellow tongue, dry and harsh skin, a full or s^Jlow countenance, and if speedIv checked, great emaciation. This is fie of tijose diseases bv means of which na­ ture strives to get rid of impurities, and re­ store the system to its natural condition. Hence, when it is not verv violent, and the patient is strong, it is best" to let it take its course for a short time, and bv taking onlv two wine glasses full of the Bitters for the first ten hours. For violent eases live wine glasses full per day, one before each meal and two between meals, In any case great care should bo taken not to stop" it too suddenly, The treatment thus in all oases depends"upon the cause from which it sprang. For Indigos? tion an I Dvspe;isia take one wine glass full of the Bitters before each meal. JJo family should be without a l>ottle, Price per bottle, large SO cts., small ftjpts. Manufactured bv F. MA3KIIS, fyaODSTOCK, ILI* Tuesday Dec. lith. The next principal point is Cheyenne, 1398 miles from San Francisco. Cheyenne lias grown to be quite a large place, ami as rough as it is large. Plenty"of revolvers always in sight here. A great portion of the town was destroyed by Are last summer 15th. Sidney is the next we note, 103 miles ea*t from Cheyenne, Ijtere we eli ange locomnt i veg an d conductors. A t this place is stationed another Bat- tall5on of Cavalry for the Black Hills purposes. This post is boa itifully laid out and the* buildings are A No. 1. The troops are scarcely sufficient to quell the desperaodes here It was only a few days ago that the Vigilantes swung a culprit from a telegraph pole for shoot ing another from his horse as he was trying to get away. Julesburgis tlje next point of inter- eat, 1537 miles from San Francisco. This place was in the early days of the road thickly populated, having then 4000 inhabitants. At present not more than 100. Here the Colorado Central IS. R. branches off to Denver. In the distance, about 4 miles, *cau be seen Fort Sedgwick. Troops are at present Stationed here for Border purposes* ,The Piatt Valley here presents a uni­ form appearance with what we passed, lotted with horses and cattle. No ign ot snow. The weather mild and beautiful. In fact we have had a cou- ti^ual sun shine since we left Sau jFrancisco, not t vsn a cloud to inter^ veue. From Jules burg to North Piatt the valley presents a uniform appear­ ance, no sign of agricultural. NOR I H PLATT.--This is quite a stir- ling place. Here tl»e North and South Platt rivers unite forming the main stream which empty into the Missouri, South of Omaha. We cross the river here and follow along the North bank be rest of our way to Fremont, where the river deviates aiu! runs towards the Southeast to the Missouri. Vroni North Platt now to Omaha? a istame of 291 miles, we find good d, generally well occupied by set- re. E tch way from the Railroad as as tlie t;ye earn reach we see corn, eat. oats and barley fields, in every 1 rect i oh. and from thfe appearance of the stubble should judge that the past season was prolific hete. The soil is a rich, dark loom, underlain with gravel and sand, somewhat similar to the soil of "our Illinois prairies. Farms are not fenced in this location. No timber to be seen In any direction, and none of any account, yet planted by the farmers. The farm houses are principally- frame buildings with an -occasional log or mud i'fibiii;. We find school houses and churches dotting the plaits, a very good indication of society. Farming is ex­ tendi vdy harried from here all aloii£ both sides of the Platt until we reach Fremont, a fine Railroad town, 47 miles west of Omaha. This town has a population of 3000 inhabitants. Business of all description is carried on here, 'flic place is about ten years old. Farmers say that they had very fine crops here the past season. Rather too much rain last Summer. Arrived in Oinaha9:40P. M., Weath­ er extremely «old. It being night cannot see much of the town, 17th. Left Om«ha this morning at 5 O'clock. Weather still very cold. We ran through Boyer Valley, leported to he very fertile, and we should judge it was from the appearance of the stubble. We see considerable timber along the valleys and streams, Arcade, 82 miles fron^ Omaha, Is the divide or highest point between the Mississippi an<J Missouri. Carroll, the County Seat of Carroll county, 94 miles from Omaha ,is situa<- ted on a beautiful rolling prairie at the foot of Boyer Valley. It has a population of about 1QQ0. A good Hotel, Bauk, Steam Grist Mill, Stores, Shops&c, Tlie surrounding country is undoubtedly the Farmers Home. New Jcfterson, County Seat of Greene county,.is assuredly worthy of notice, tor a more promising town we have not seen on our route. It is situa* ted on a beautiful rolling prairie, 120 miles from Omaha, hits a population of about 2,000 inhabitants, a flne Court House costing $40,000, a first-class School Ilouse cos ting $20,000, two Banks four Churches and threeC'Hotels, Par­ ties are sinking two coal shafts on Coon River, within two miles pf town. MOINGONA,--This Station is celc braT ted for its CpaJ mines. Jt is situated on the DesMoines River. The country here is hilly and timbered, Here - we cross the DegMo'nes on a substantial iron bridge, \ Soon aud Boonsborough are next Jn order. They are twin towns, (hie pop­ ulation I should judge to be IP or 20 thousand. Booue is the County Seat of Boone County, 342 miles frorn Chicago. This is quite $ city aud well way rjvaj *117 of our iuterior cities in Illinois. The country around here is composed of good land with plenty of timber, water,coal and pure air, necessary ac­ complishments to prosperity Ames, is next in order, another in­ land city as large we judge as Boone. Here the DesMoines & Minnesota Narrow Gauge Railroad branches off to DesMoines. To tlie right we see the College Farm Building, an institution pertaining to State agricultural. The surroundings are in keeping with the enterprise of the State. Marshall, the County Seat of Marshall County, is another of those enterpris­ ing towns of Iowa. It is surprising to see so many fine, large towns, many of which contain a population of from 15 to 20 thousand people, built up in so short a space of time, for it. is only a few years ago, comparatively speaking, since the Railroad Was built through this country. After leaving Marshall the weather changes and it becomes quite bold. The glass in our car windows become coatedwith frost, preventing us from having a view of the country- But so far as we can see the country, towns, and general .aspect are a repetition of those uoted above. So far as .we have seen Iowa, we are very favorably im­ pressed, and must grant jto its citizens what rightfully belongs to them, viz: energy, enterprise, and industry. The shadows of night now iutervene and our train seems to vie with the wind as we are whirled onward towards the •'Great Father of Waters." Here we are at Clinton, right on the west bank of the Mississippi River. 'Tis moonlight and we undertake to get a glimpse of the town as we pas6 through, but the night is so cold that we defer the job to some other time. In crossing the river we observe tlie fine iron bridge which supports us. It is a monument of architectural skill. Nature has assisted materially in the construction of this bridge, for in the middle of the river is au Island which acts as an everlasting support to the structure. To-night the mighty River is roar­ ing, its surface being covered with flowing ice, and as the strong current carries It downward It tumbles and gleams in the moonlight, and seems angry in being disturbed. We are now across the old river and safoly lauded in our dear old Illinois, and we heartily thank all the bridges which carried us over safely, and in­ deed we mustsay that their names are numerous. We are also uuder obliga­ tions to all the officers on the different trains as we p'assed for their kind at­ tention and ever watchlul vigilance over the safety of their passengers. In conclusion f would say to parties who intend emigrating to tine Pacific Slope, that they can enjoy the ride even upon an emigrant train, and if time is not an object will save money by taking the same. Yours truly. M. K, MARENGO. --A seven-year old son of Mr. Joseph Schneider, living near Union, went up into a hay-loft to throw down some hay, and 'accidentally fell to the floor,, a distance of about 10 feet, fracturing his skull, and otherwise bruising him quite badly. --A corn husking machine at Belvi- dere has a great likfng for fingers, A year ago it itook oft' the hand of a man who was feeding it, and a few days ago while a Mr, Reynolds was feeding it, it took off the upper half of his left hand, and *)) the Augers down to the knuckle joints. * -rrA young man by the name of Granny on Tuesday evening, undertook to whip a man by the name of King, who works for T.

Or should we catch a burning glance at Mr. Crt\lle> bald spot, just protruding over the marital coveilet, let us shuffle . around noiselessly to the next neigh­ bor. until we strike ite. or the lion conchani, whose placid mane and calm bold eye, whilst denoting an atmos­ phere of unruffled happine s, also indi­ cate signs of personal supremacy In the domestic lair. This is the gentle- man who stands no curtain lectures within the precincts of the four bed­ stead posts beyond the forces of mora! suasion, yet allows his august mane to be stroked in token of passive or gentle rebuke, by the beguiling hand of Ms serpent Eve, whose influences, like those of the moon, are most palpable and active during the mellow and mys- tis hours of dusk, when lisping whispers are investigated with a silent noiseless force,like creeping shadows, that be­ siege circumvent the night-capped lord, probe him into drowsy submission and extract from him pacific promises, connubial harmonies and small favors. Of course, this Is our typical married man. To him the span of life, la ona "bright rainbow, whose blending hnea auger endless sunshine and no rain. Nary an umbrella darkens the portals of his married soul, and no mist ob­ scures his happiness, save the pearly tears of affection, gleaming like dew drops around his threshold and afford­ ing fresh life and moisture to both these wedded blades of conjugal grass. The chores or life, depressing to lens favored persons, seem to exalt him over the suffering herd.

Recollections of a vivid euybrjiee, en­ able him to clasp a prostrate log with furious earnestness, and stand it holt upright to the litter dleeamflture of a single nian's languor and phlegmatiu coldness of purpose. A reminiscence of those eyes will brighten hitf*, an4 entrance his vision with flights of rose tinted angels, invisible to th* dull per­ ceptions of the unuiAriied get}tl#i*an who can but discern the night 4t a croaking shy te poke. The thought of home, the virgin, that is fco say the matronly figurehead, th« cherry ?miles, the beaming eyes and laughing diinpjes,the ro<»e tipped fin­ gers on tlie ontstrenched hands of wel­ come, the twin blessings murmuring within the muffled folds of the cradle or the triplets disporting on the lounge. The glowing fire, the cozy hearthrug, the purring cat And warm slippers. The steaming pile of pancakes, lubri­ cating pork gravy, the cream colored cookies and melting pies, good health waiting an appetite and the long stemmed pipe about to disengage dreamy wreath0 of curling smoke, as an increase to happiness and good diges­ tion, Those are the blessings ai}<| d«- Hgtits bestowed by a lavish hand ott the good married on-he who en- enjoys a monopoly from Heaven and gives satisfaction to a well-deserving wife,oil he who reaps honey and mo­ lasses where others can but harvest thistles aud sour grapes. To be sure, riches sometimes crush with their own weight, and the hand thatgiyes. Is apt io overwhelm. The nursery Ilka th* granery may ! burst to overflow, and the sam.e munificent Proyidence that fills the quiver with little arrows, that gives and takes away, that gives alone may be and keeps agivin, has also been known to burst the husbandman. Yet in view of the manifold blessing privi­ leges, and immunities attached to tlie honorable calling of the married man, we hum bly feel equal to all emergen­ cies and also feel able to brave the perils of an overwhelming good f"rtn-- May some charitable Rebecca presojgt us with her hand and pitcher.
