The proprietors of the Gazette take pleasure in introducing to its readers Mr. Moye Wicks, whom they have engaged to assist in the Editorial and Local columns of the paper. We ask our friends to extend to him the same facilities for obtaining information which they have heretofore cheerfully accorded us. MELROSE & ATHEARN. Gold was quoted [in New York yesterday at 112]. Dr. D'Assonville returned yesterday from San Diego. Messrs. P. Davis & Bro. purchased a tract of land near Costa yesterday. Business appears to be improving in Los Angeles. A ball is to come off at the Pico House, in Los Angeles, next week. G. B. Davis intends moving his drying establishment. He anticipates a large business in the coming season. Mr. Condit has been doing his missionary work in Los Angeles also. Success attend him. The new Roman-Catholic Cathedral in Los Angeles is exciting considerable attention and admiration. We enjoyed on Sunday the novelty and pleasure of hearing Mr. Condition address some seventy-five Chinese men, in their native tongue. When looking at their Asiatic features and peculiar phrenological development, we could not but doubt the possibility of ever making them think as we about religion or any other matters. However different may be opinion as to the practicability of the scheme, all must unite in admiration of the untiring perseverance which it must have cost the reverend gentleman to master the intricacies of that extraordinary language. From Wednesday's Daily. Mr. Ullyard will start his grist mill at Santa Ana to-day. A large party of people, from the East, are expected to-day at Santa Ana. The St. Helena Star of the 5th gives us a friendly notice, which weduly appreciate. Maj. Furrey, of the well known house of Barrows, Furrey & Co., Los Angeles, was in town yesterday. A new harness shop, a branch of the well known establishment of Thompson & Roberts, of Anaheim, is soon to be started in Santa Ana. The shipments from the depot yesterday were as follows: 500 sack barley, 47,595 pounds; 49 hides, 422 pounds; 263 cans lard, 2,760. In the case of the People vs. Cartwright, which came up again on yesterday, no new testimony having been adduced by prosecuting witness, A. C. Nixon, the case, after a short argument, was dismissed, defendant not being required to give bond. The rain first came up yesterday about the time that many of our citizens were going to their dinner, and from the vexed appearance upon their faces as they skudded through it, we Mr. Kimball sneak thieves brave one of the sheeppeers things: amuse of clothes. We that the herder will fit them like the Hercules. The Los Bridge was washed. We had therefore this same bridge given way before seem highly advancing more substantively both on account of violence and the poor railroad company. Some of the ladies of Anaheim final meeting next purpose of conscience means for the co- present John. Powerful microfiber find the spark of which they are to blow into a flame. We have from under obligations Mr. Gaddy for rick to and from the dress calls us dri Short that his da land, and as f man that he will as ever, so we can riding in his hand. We learn that went up this more Angeles is now detail between two breaks final break Impass return as it came do so. The streets you usually deserted —A ball is to come off at the Pico House, in Los Angeles, next week. —G. B. Davis intends moving his drying establishment. He anticipates a large business in the coming season. —Mr. Condit has been doing his missionary work in Los Angeles also. Success attend him. —The new Roman-Catholic Cathedral in Los Angeles is exciting considerable attention and admiration. —The Germans are making extensive preparations in Los Angeles for a masquerade, to take place next Saturday evening. —Several of the marriageable youths were on hand at the show last night, anxious to get a set of furniture in accordance with the provisions of the bills. —The shipments from the depot this morning were 12 boxes of orange trees, 2 boxes cypress trees, 3 pipes of wine, 16 sacks potatoes. —A correspondent of a Los Angeles paper is extravagantly praising Lucky Baldwin "Turbens Romanes sequents fortuna." —We have to thank M. Gray, 105 Kearney st., San Francisco, for the following pieces of music: "My love has gone a sailing," "Not yet," "Forget me not though I repine," songs; and "Fleur-de-Lis," a Mazarka. —On affidavit of complaining witness, A. C. Nixon, in case of People vs. Cartwright, hearing was postponed till to-morrow the 8th inst., at 10 A. M. The charge for assault was abandoned, and petition made that the defendant be required to enter into a bond to keep the peace. —The fact of this being a very busy time for the farmers is evidenced by the fewness of them upon the street yesterday. We have known some engaged in agriculture in the East, with whom it was a maxim never to allow Monday to pass without having made a good start for the week by doing some substantial work. This same disposition may have had something to do with the dullness of yesterday, in addition to the peculiar exigencies of the season. —Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: A Langenberger, 2 pkgs mdse; R Strong, 1 pkg trees; L A C, 25 pkgs coal oil; Cahen & Williard, 5 pkgs coal oil; J W Anderson & Co, 3 pkgs mdse; R & M 2 pkgs mdse; J Rietz, 5 pkgs trees; A & Co, 44 pkgs mdse; Tim Carwright, which came up again on yesterday, no new testimony having been adduced by prosecuting witness, A. C. Nixon, the case, after a short argument, was dismissed, defendant not being required to give bond. —The rain first came up yesterday about the time that many of our citizens were going to their dinner, and from the vexed appearance upon their faces as they skudded through it, we suspect that if any one had have ventured to quote to them the poem about the "Beautiful Rain," he would have met with a violent response. —The sleight-of-hand exhibitor, who held forth last night, experienced, by a rather scanty attendance, the unwisdom of his course in not advertising in this paper. It has been very justly said about men who fail to advertise their business that they are like a man winking at a pretty girl behind a pair of green spectacles, as he knows what he is doing, but nobody else does. —We had yesterday the pleasure of a call from Mr. W. H. Sharpe, of Tustin City. He informs us he will start East on the 20th with a band of a thousand unbroken horses belonging to Don Juan Forster. Their destination is Chicago, and they are, we believe, designed for the use of the U.S. troops, though some will probably be sold to civilians. We would like to see a Chicago dandy on a California bucking horse. —The rain that is now falling would discontent us with the weather did we not recollect how much more unpleasant is that our friends in the East are having continually. These little spells of bad weather answer a good purpose in making us more appreciative of that which we usually enjoy. Happiness is only by comparison any way. We never properly value wealth until poverty has us in its pinch. We never understand the full measure of the blessing of health until we get on shipboard and are sea sick; and as the school girls sing "Spring would be but gloomy weather," &c. —There was yesterday some rainfall, and considerable threatenings of more. In consequence the meeting of the stockholders of the Bolsa Chica Wharf and Forwarding Company was very sparsely attended. In addition to a good many outsiders, the following stockholders were present: Messrs. Callisher, Gaddy, Smith, Barron, Gilman and Miles. There being only seven out of about 140 stockholders, the meeting did not formally take place, but was the scene of noisy good man that he will as ever, so we can ride in his hands. —We learn that went up this morning, is now detail between two breaks; final break impassive return as it came do so. —The streets you usually deserted could be seen spoiling their tempers when from one place to another being visible events went, this mini region near Mountains where, according to a lady never leap print. —The fact of a rain having fallen minds us of the such an occurrence devil was whipping leg of mutton that he should set to the husbands in tiicularly as regard of mutton. Mutts formula mutton, is in that way as a cold cudgel. Such an rob a whole family chops. Therefore not to get on there but if you must, lie leg of mutton. —It is said that of the old school, orory series of a do dishes out of a few of meat. We have period when a Frane one occasion under habitants in a hall much remark was beseigers by the Jacob that the General o daily had a dinner many different countries found out that their cook was a tru who had conjure viands into exist dead horse and a feast as material. We see the dilemma in which have found himself a dead horse compared similar to ours to preparing items mail not having and the general star any action in town Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: A Langenberger, 2 pkgs mdse; R Strong, 1 pkg trees; L A C, 25 pkgs coal oil; Cahen & Williard, 5 pkgs coal oil; J W Anderson & Co, 3 pkgs mdse; R & M 2 pkgs mdse; J Rietz, 5 pkgs trees; A & Co, 44 pkgs mdse; Tim Carroll, 1 roll paper; H Sommerfield, 7 pkgs mdse; J S Sabaret, 23 pkgs mdse; F Mason, 2 cars plank; C & W 2 boxes mdse; H Rosenbaum, 1 pkg mdse, 1 keg nails. The following named passengers left San Pedro and Santa Monica yesterday by the Senator, for San Francisco: D W Tuttle, B F Hageman, T A Bouthillier, R Furlong, A P Culver, H Suskend, J Davis, Miss S Mansfield, W Buttner, R McElvain, Mrs L Hardee and friend, T R Roller, T Ransington, J Roller, G Fruit, C Ricber, P Rilz, Bishop Mora Miss N Spence, Bishop Amat, Mrs E W Brookes and infant, Miss D Spence, E Wellenhall, E S Pillsbury, C S Ingraham, G H Hart, R F Whitr, H North. Those whose morning meal yesterday was rendered unpalatable by the absence of lacteal fluid from their coffee, and who possibly in their wrath gave utterance to some hard language because of the failure of Smith Jr., to make his regular visit, will perhaps regard the delinquent with more leniency when we inform them that his high-mettled steed ran away on Sunday night. He ran about three miles, and succeeded in distributing along the route about a dozen milk-cans and as many small boys, who were assisting the chief-engineer to run the machine. Yesterday was devoted by Lum to picking up the pieces, and when we met him at 4 o'clock in the afternoon he had about finished his job. There was yesterday some rainfall, and considerable threatenings of more. In consequence the meeting of the stockholders of the Bolsa Chica Wharf and Forwarding Company was very sparsely attended. In addition to a good many outsiders, the following stockholders were present: Messrs. Calisher, Gaddy, Smith, Backs, Barron, Gilman and Miles. There being only seven out of about 140 stockholders, the meeting did not formally take place, but was the scene of noisy, good natured wrangling, there being, as is usual in such cases, about as many different opinions expressed as there were gentlemen present. Freight for the following persons was received at the depot last night: F Conrad, 1,220 feet lumber; M Her, 3 pkgs mdse; Ah Sam, 11 pkgs mdse; J Evans, 5 pkgs mdse; S C Edwards, 4 pkgs mdse; R & M 203 pkgs mdse; J W A & Co 1 pkg mdse; D Gildmacher, 3 pkgs mdse; H S, 1 pkg mdse; J B, 24 pkgs mdse; M K, 2 pkgs mdse. From Thursday's Daily. Mrs. Robt. Scott has lost the lower lobe of a gold ear ring. The finder will be liberally rewarded, by returning it to Mr. Scott, at his office. Mr. Tim Boege's shed fell last night, killing the gray horse of Mr. Cohen. We regret the loss to both parties. The horse was, we believe, a tolerably good one. Mr. Oscar George of the house of Helmann & George, will probably leave to-day for Arizona to look into the condition of some four or five thousand sheep which they have there. He will be absent several weeks. We regret to learn the death last night of Mr. Brown, the engineer of the night train from Los Angeles. It occurred at San Fernando very suddenly, and is supposed to have been caused by congestion of the lungs. He maled in Los Angeles. We were unable to learn if he was a man of family, his cook was a trunk who had conjured viands into existent dead horse and a feather material. We the dilemma in which have found himself similar to our to-preparing items in mail not having any action in town leave us flat. Our readers wereceedings of the Board at their recent publication in our Messrs. Hammel & tioned them for street railroad in informed by Mr. F tention is to lay it to Los Angeles street above, we are informes granted Hammer the Board of Superintendent of a street railroad are granted the freight from the depot along the intersection of beyond, and along it being made obliqueto finish on Central depot to the interstate geles street within whole within five miles. From Friday More water than is reported in the villa Elbow. The Santa Ana crowded with guinea beds are crowded in Mr. C. E. F handsome residence quin rancho this Sp The wreck of the occurred, as near and the caption called Flores. Mr. Kimball informs us that some sneak thieves broke into the hut of one of the sheep herders and stole several things: among others, a new suit of clothes. We have no doubt but that the herder wishes the clothes will fit them like the shirt of Nessus did Hercules. The Los Angeles river railroad bridge was washed away last night. We had therefore no mail yesterday. This same bridge has frequently before given way before freshets. It would seem highly advisable that it be fixed more substantially than heretofore, both on account of the public convenience and the pecuniary welfare of the railroad company. Some of the good and christian ladies of Anaheim will hold an informal meeting next Wednesday, for the purpose of considering the ways and means for the conversion of the omnipresent John. We wish we had a powerful microscope, to try to find the spark of good in his breast which they are trying, so credulously, to blow into a flame. We have frequently been placed under obligations by Mr. Short and Mr. Gaddy for rides in their coaches to and from the depot, where our business calls us daily. We hope for Short that his days may be long in the land, and as for the other gentleman that he will Gaddy bent as much as ever, so we can have the pleasure of riding in his handsome vehicle. We learn that the train which went up this morning toward Los Angeles, is now detained on the road between two breaks. Finding the original break impossible it attempted to return as it came, but was unable to do so. The streets yesterday wore an unusually deserted look. A few men The stage from Anaheim to San Diego mixed down on the plain near Los Alamos Creek on Wednesday. Mr. Vance, of Santa Ana, lost a tool chest from his wagon while crossing the river on Wednesday evening. Mr. R. Michel, cigar manufacturer, obliged us yesterday with a box of really excellent cigars. We hope he may have the success his enterprise merits. Our weather prophets differ as to whether we will have more rain. To employ a well known Irish bull, our cup is already overflowing, but it seems it may not yet be full. The case tried by Judge Randall yesterday was, W. R. Olden vs. Juan Abijo and John Doe. By the way, what a litigious fellow John Doe is. We have known him to be connected with law cases hundreds of times. Stages from Orange and Santa Ana were running on time yesterday, the bridge over the Santa Ana river having withstood the storms. Some little difficulty is experienced in crossing the channel of the old river on this side of the bridge, in which there is at present considerable water. Mr. Tyler, the gentlemanly agent at the depot, tells us he does not expect a train will be able to get through from Los Angeles before next Sunday. We do not doubt, however, but that by some means we will succeed in getting the mail from there to-day. Mr. J. C. Edwards, of Orange, narrowly escaped being drowned while attempting to cross the Santiago creek on Wednesday. His buggy was completely torn to pieces by the angry waters; and man, horse and buggy were carried down the stream a long distance before they could be rescued. found a few hinges and nails and locks of hair, and two immense roots belonging to a large apple tree which stood at a considerable distance off. The root which had attacked the body of Roger Williams had begun at the head of the corpse, and, making a curve around it, had run down the back bone, sending out lateral roots on each side. When it reached the thighs, it had divided, sending a large root down each leg which bent at the place where the knee had been, and reaching the feet, had turned up at the toes. There lay the detected thief, the apple root, and possessing as it lay a weird similarity to a skeleton itself. It had stolen all; not even the bones had escaped it; and the bodies of Roger Williams and his wife, absorbed thus, had passed into the life of the tree, and perhaps been converted into fruit eaten by their descendants. The Best is the Cheapest. To one who loves his horses, (and what true farmer does not?) one of the most disagreeable impressions made by rainy weather, like that yesterday, is that they seem to be so unpleasantly affected by it. Yesterday, looking from our window, while the rain was pouring down, we could not help commiserating some melancholy looking plugs which stood cowering so patiently under it. It is to be lamented that so many of us have mere open corrals to keep our work animals in. A horse is as sensitive as a man to the influences of his surroundings, and any extra attention in taking care of him is casting bread upon the waters, not to come back after many days, but to be followed by immediate repayment in his increased vivacity and effectiveness. People fall into the habit of letting their stock shift for themselves by having light mustang horses of little value. We We learn that the train which went up this morning toward Los Angeles, is now detained on the road between two breaks. Finding the original break impossible it attempted to return as it came, but was unable to do so. The streets yesterday wore an unusually deserted look. A few men could be seen spoiling their boots and their tempers wading about the streets from one place to another; but as for ladies being visible, so far as appearances went, this might have been that region near Mount Athos, in Greece, where, according to tradition, the foot of a lady never left its delicate imprint. The fact of a portion of the recent rain having fallen during sunshine reminds us of the queer old idea that such an occurrence was a sign that the devil was whipping his wife with a leg of mutton. We are truly sorry that he should set so bad an example to the husbands in Anaheim and particularly as regards the use of the leg of mutton. Mutton, especially California mutton, is too good to be wasted in that way as a clumsy substitute for a edgel. Such an indulgence might rob a whole family of its matutinal chops. Therefore we beg our friends not to get on the domestic warpath, but if you must, spare, oh spare the leg of mutton. It is said that a real French cook of the old school, could prepare a savory series of a dozen or so different dishes out of a few herbs and a chunk of meat. We have read that during a period when a French city was upon one occasion under siege, and the inhabitants in a half-starving condition, much remark was caused among the besiegers by the accidental intelligence that the General of the French troops daily had a dinner of I know not how many different courses. It was finally found out that the explanation was, his cook was a true culinary genius who had conjured all the various viands into existence with only one dead horse and a few spices and grasses as material. We imagine now that the dilemma in which that cook must have found himself, with nothing but a dead horse confronting him, was similar to ours to-day in the matter of preparing items for this issue. The mail not having come this morning and the general stagnation, preventing any action in town, have conspired to Mr. J. C. Edwards, of Orange, narrowly escaped being drowned while attempting to cross the Santiago creek on Wednesday. His buggy was completely torn to pieces by the angry waters; and man, horse and buggy were carried down the stream a long distance before they could be rescued. We learn at the telegraph office that the San Diego stage, night before last, while between San Juan and Los Flores, in attempting to cross a creek, was swept out to sea. There was only one passenger in the stage at the time. He and the driver swam to shore, but the stage and horses were lost, as also was the mail bag. The express box was found on the beach. The case of W. R. Olden vs. Juan Abijo and John Doe came up for trial yesterday. The offense charged was the cutting down of a fine sycamore on the Rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana. They plead guilty, and will be sentenced to day at 10 o'clock. When the hearing was over, Juan asked Mr. Dyo Davies in Spanish to tell the Court that it was his companion who first proposed the scheme as a bit of financiering by which they might alleviate the hard times. His remark reminded us of one made by Adam on a somewhat similar occasion, viz: "The woman tempted me and I did eat." A Bishop of the French church recently in a document written about some perils he had passed through, compares himself to Daniel in the fiery furnace. His next article will probably allude to the adventures of Shadrack, Meshak, and Abednego in the lion's den. The mind subsides and wickedly inclines; To seem but human even in sound divines." Wreck of the Bark "Nicholas Biddle." The bark Nicholas Biddle, Captain Black, was broken loose from her anchors at San Pedro, by the heavy blow, night before last, and was cast ashore near Anaheim Landing. Captain Black called on us yesterday and gave us an account of the disaster. He says that he had great difficulty in getting out at San Pedro without running upon Dead Man's Island. It was so dark and rainy that they could hardly see anything, and they soon lost some of their sails. On account of having lost the sails he was unable to tack properly and was gradually so many of us have mere open corrals to keep our work animals m. A horse is as sensitive as a man to the influences of his surroundings, and any extra attention in taking care of him is casting bread upon the waters, not to come back after many days, but to be followed by immediate repayment in his increased vivacity and effectiveness. People fall into the habit of letting their stock shift for themselves by having light mustang horses of little value. We believe the true policy to be, to have fewer animals and those of such a quality as that we can afford to take pains with them. How great a thing for this country would it be if our stock for heavy draft was all of the Conestoga breed, the kind with which the drays of New York City are supplied. A Stray Sunbeam. Day before yesterday, as we hurriedly entered a crowded office on Center street, our steps were arrested by this picture: Standing quietly there among those men, like a white rose bud among the weeds of some neglected garden, was the most charming little elf of a three-year-old girl that artist ever painted or poet ever saw in his dreams. She was dressed as carefully as any lady in grand toilette, and seemed so free from that horrid propensity of children to soil their clothes and their faces that she looked like a fresh snowflake. She had taken advantage of this being Leap Year by making a visit to a young gentleman of the office and seemed among those men surrounding her, like a stray sunbeam on a cloudy day. We drew her to us and asked her name. She told it, but we don't intend to publish that, lest the plans we instantaneously formed, to be carried out some twelve or fifteen years from now, should be interfered with by our thus attracting too much attention to her. May good fortune smile on the little lady; long may she wave. Dr. Higgins, who keeps a record of the rainfall, has kindly given us the following report with regard to that during the recent storm: From the 8th to the 9th up to 8 o'clock A.M., 17-16 inches; from the 9th to the 10th, 3-10, making a total of 1½ inches, which, added to the previous rains, makes 11 inches as the grand total of that fallen during the season up to this time. Thermometrical Record. The following is our record for the his cook was a true culinary genius who had conjured all the various viands into existence with only one dead horse and a few spices and grasses as material. We imagine now that the dilemma in which that cook must have found himself, with nothing but a dead horse confronting him, was similar to ours to-day in the matter of preparing items for this issue. The mail not having come this morning and the general stagnation, preventing any action in town, have compiled to leave us flat. Our readers will see by the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors at their recent meeting, which are published in our to-day's issue, that Messrs. Hammel & Denker have petitioned them for the franchise of a street railroad in Anaheim. We are informed by Mr. Fischer that their intention is to lay it along Centre street to Los Angeles street. Since writing the above, we are informed that the privileges granted Hammel & Denker by the Board of Supervisors in the matter of a street railroad are as follows: They are granted the franchise to lay track from the depot along Centre Street to the intersection of Los Angeles and beyond, and along Los Angeles street, it being made obligatory upon them to finish on Centre street from the depot to the intersection of Los Angeles street within three years, and the whole within five years. From Friday's Daily. More water than is at all agreeable is reported in the vicinity of the Devil's Elbow. The Santa Ana Hotel is overcrowded with guests. Two or three beds are crowded into every room. Mr. C. E. French will erect a handsome residence on the San Joaquin rancho this Spring. The wreck of the San Diego Stage occurred, as near as we can learn, in the caption called Onofrio, near Los Flores. Apropos of our article in to-day's issue entitled, "Root Ramifications and Irrigation," we remember reading several years ago a very singular incident illustrative of the subject. After Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island had been buried for a great many years, it was resolved by the public of his section of country, to erect a monument to his memory. He was buried near his former residence; and by his side lay the body of his wife. In order to ascertain the exact spot, the graves were opened, and where the coffins had been they Dr. Higgins, who keeps a record of the rainfall, has kindly given us the following report with regard to that during the recent storm: From the 8th to the 9th up to 8 o'clock A.M., 17-16 inches; from the 9th to the 10th, 3-10, making a total of 13 inches, which, added to the previous rains, makes 11 inches as the grand total of that fallen during the season up to this time.

[Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.] Mr. Robt.' Strong, the efficient agent of the Land Company and Superintendent of Westminster Colony, has sold a large quantity of land during the past three months, and more people are coming all the time. An immense body of land has been planted to barley, and the splendid rains insure an abundant crop. All the farmers are now busy planting trees and vines,and preparing their corn ground. A town lot was sold yesterday, and the purchasers intend erecting a hotel immediately. This is much needed here, and will be well patronized. I hope soon to see an ad in the GAZETTE setting forth the accommodations to be had at the Westminster Hotel. Everything indicates that a new era of prosperity is opening before us. Mr. A. Kell has not removed to Santa Ana, nor has he ever contemplated moving there. Instead, he is increasing his facilities for supplying furniture to this vicinity. Dr. A.J. Howe has opened a drug store here. You will probably hear from him shortly. I will try and keep you posted as to any news of importance. Orange Items. [Regular correspondence of the Gazette.] The heaviest rain of the season fell on Tuesday night. That little "cuss," Cupid, should get a new bow and arrow for this vicinity. The bee business will be discussed in our next report, as we have practical bee men in our neighborhood. Mr. Stickney thinks this climate is far ahead of York State. Lockhart Bros. are putting their ranch almost all to barley. A. C. Travis is speculating in epuds. Mr. Rawson passed through with a lot of sheep for Frisco yesterday. James Travis is quite poorly with pneumonia. W. C. Pendleton and Joe Parker, when last heard from, were in the vicinity of Bakersfield. They report feed only tolerably good. They will fetch up in Frisco ere their return. The waters of the Santiago are higher than they have been for the past two years. Our Postmaster, Mr. Howard, reports a steady increase of business. Not Bonovan, the prospective editor of the Valley News, gave us quite a pleasant call on Monday. We wish him success in his praiseworthy enterprise. Wan Lee, after re-washing a few muddy clothes yesterday, said cuss words all the same like Melican man. Never was there a finer prospect for a bountiful year in this part of the country. Mr. Hulse has begun boring a well for Mr. Clark. A little enterprise on the part of citizens interested in artesian flows, would test the matter for all-time to come. Can't that interest be manifested? Clarence Parker is learning to compound perscriptions rapidly under C. B. Andrus' instruction. The "Home" is now providing for several sick people. X. Y. Z.

Violated conditions of the atmosphere, unhealthy occupations, extremes of heat or cold, and constant exposure to rough weather, are all so many provocations of disease. There is but one sure way of effectually guarding the system when thus subjected to influences prejudicial to health, and that is to establish, by judicious tonic and alternative medication, vigor of the body and regularity of its functions. The properties of an invigorant and corrective are happily combined in Hastings' Stomach Bitters, which, at the same time that it infuses unwanted vitality into the system, overcomes all tendency of the stomach, liver, bowels and urinary organs to deviate from regularity in the discharge of functions upon which the welfare of the entire physical organization is dependent. Health cannot be more effectively maintained than by using the Bitters. IMPORTANT. Endorsed by the Medical profession. Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs cures Coughs, Colds and Consumption, and all diseases of the Throat and Chest. Dr. Townsley's Toothache Anodyne cures in one Minute. Incarnates Restored. Do not despair because your physician shakes his head. Professional opinions are not infallible; and they are never wider of the mark than when they pronounce bronze Dyspepsia an incurable malady.
