If a friend is looking sick, this is usu? ally the question we put to him. It is asked everywhere, times innumerable, every day. And what are the most frequent answers to it? Are they oot suob as these: "Well, I'm a little bil- [ ioun," or "I feel languid and used up," or "My stomach is out of order," or "I'm under the weather," or "I don't know what's the matter with me, bot I don't fuel right," or the like in? definite responses. Now, what is the matter with the thousands of both sexes who cannot tell exaotly whit ails them, aud yet are evidently out of health? | The matter is Bimply this: they don't | properly digest what they eat, tbeir livers are torpid, their nerves are weak, tbeir blood is impure, uud their vital energies are depressed. What they need is a oourse of Hostetter's Sto? mach Bitters?not one or two doses, but a course?to strengthen their stomachs, superinduce a healthy flow of bile, steady and invigorate their nerves, im? prove the condition of their blood and rouse tbeir vital powers. These results tho great vegetable restorative will assuredly bring about. It rallies the whole system, reinforces every im? portant organ, regulates every func? tion, and purifies every animal fluid. For ebrouio dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint, intermittent and re mittent fevers, rheumatism, general debility, premature decay, and theiu firmities of age, it is the best and safest stimulant and alterative that has ever been compounded. Its ingredients are all vegetable, all pure and whole? some. In districts infested with swamp miasma, and iu all new settlements, its ose is essential to the preservation of health. The West believes in it, and so, in f.iot, do tbe people of all sectious of the Uuiou. S9fl3 Death by Default ?Weary of pre? scriptions that do no good, aud per? plexed by tho muttttiKle of medical theories advanced by disagreeing doc? tors, thousands uf invalid-) become do spendent and hopeless. Alauy uf those who are thus circumstanced suffer cbibfly fruru exhaustion. It may he that the depleting allopaths, do no? thing homooipnths ami tiie pluviou* bydropuths have each in turu taken these uufortuuatis iu hand, aud that these "paths" have only brought them nearer to death's door. What. then, is to bo done for them? What do tin y really need? Their real ueedd are three?invigorutiou, regulation, puri? fication?aud these three restorative processes arc the direct and simulta? neous results of a persistent aud daily use of the most efficient uud agreeable of all vegetable tonics uud alteratives, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Il is not ! too much to Hay that multitudes die oi their debility whoso lives might have been saved by a course of this vitaliz? ing elixir. Its medicinal ingredients consist of the finest tonics, blood-de? tergents aud luxativs Which the bo? tanic kingdom can supply, and tho ve? hicle by which they are diffused through the system, is the pnrest stimulant ever manufactured fur medi? cal purposes. The effect uf the Bitters is to increase tbe appetito, improve the dige.-tiou, tone and regulate the liver, keep tbe bowels moderately free, brace the nerves, arrest emaciation, cheer tho depressed spirits, strengthen the Constitution and prolong life. Death from mere debility and physical decay, is, at least three cases oat of five, death by default, which a timely resort to Hostetter's Bitters might have pre? vented. S6f3^I 3 Messrs.

A party of hands j who had beeu working on the North eastern Railroad, just above St. Ste i pben's, were going back in a bund-cur to their homes iu that place. While passing through the Sautee Swa:up, over tbe trestle, which, at this point, is from eighteen to twenty feet high, oue of the party, a white mau named Bunch, in some way got bis coat en? tangled iu thu crank. The cur was running at great speed, and Buch was hurled headlong from tho trestle, aud in bis endeavor to save himself dragged a colored man named Scipio aloug with bim into tbe swamp. As soon us tbe injured men could be reached, it wus fouud that Hunch was beyond the hope of recovery, and that Scipio bad broken both legs, besides receiving se? rious internal injuries. Bunch lingered for n short time, and died just before tho down passenger truiu reached tbe place where the]accident had occurred.

A difficulty occurred amocg a lot of colored people at Granitcville, ou Sun? day night, but none were seriously hurt.

The board of health of New York say there is no cause for alarm from yel? low fever. It is understood that there are a few eases quarantined, but no danger of their spreading or becoming epidemic.
