On Thurs day evening of last week the business of the encampment at Astoria was wound up and all hands participated in a grand banquet at the opera house.

Misdirected-Effort. Ben Barker, who made a raid upon Henry Wot tham's wardrobe some weeks ago has been determined to evade the lower ing frown of Judge Pipes. His at tempts to escape from custody during his preliminary examination were nar- nated at the time, and his determina tion to obtain liberty since his confine ment caused the sheriff to ornament his ankle with a heavy shackle. Upon the approach of the court session he redoubled his efforts to escape and on Saturday night succeeded by prying open the cell door and passing out through the window of the front apart ment of the jail. He is said to have been seen in Albany the following morning without his shackle. Ben might have spared himself much effort and the county considerable expense, as the grand jury on Monday found not a tine bill against him. A Suggestion.

A number of our athletic young men some time ago hired a piece of ground in a secluded spot on the south side of Mary's river to which place they repair on Sundays, and at other times, for- the purpose of develop ing their speed, and it is admitted that they usually divest themselves of their superfluous clothing. It is alleged, however, that wild flowers grow abundantly in the vicinity of the track, and that many of 'the ladies desire to go-there and gather thenn We do not wish to pursue- the subject further, but it is suggested that the boys, es pecially upon Sundays, do their traim ing in full dress.

Cold and moisture combined have a tor porizing effect upon the. bodily organs, and the digestive and secretive processes are apt to be more tardily performed in winter than in the fall. The- same is true, also, of the excretory functions. The bowels are often sluggish, and the pores of the skin throw off but little waste matter at this season. The systeiu, th3sforo, requires opening up a little, and also purifying ami regulating, aud the safest, surest and most thorough tonic and alterative that can be used for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. Persons who wish to escape the rheu matic twinges, the- dyspeptio agonies, tha painful disturbances of the bowels, the bil ious attacks, aad the nervous visitations, so common at this time of the year, will do well to reinforce their systems with this re nowned vegetable stomachic and invigorant. It improves the appetite, strengthens the stomach, cheers the spirits, and renovates the whole physique. Joseph V. Dory, of Warsaw, Illinois, was tronbled with rheumatism and tried a num ber of different remedies, but says none of them seemed to do him any good but fina'ly he got hold of one of them that speedily cured him. He was much pleased with it, and felt sure that others- similarly afflicted would like to know what the remedy was that cured him. - He states for the benefit of the public that it is called Chamberlain's Fain-Balm.
