The Fountain Head enlarged and neqOly

of Fare. >.
NHE proprietor of this public and ia
l. vorite resort, is pleased to inform hls
thousand friends (upon the Atlantic as
well as the golden side Of the contInent,)
of his safe return, with his family, TO the
land of promise, from the old and frozen
regions of the North, and now considers
himself permanently situated in San FRAN
cisco--the most lovely and beautiful spot
upon the face Of the earth. we would
therefore inform those who have so long
and earnestly entreated him to give them
in addition to his great variety of pastry,
delicious tea and coffee, baked pork and
beans, ham, &c.,) little more variety OF
The sutstautiols for the ia,aaer man; such
as steaks, soups, oysters, buckwheat and
Indian Cakes. That agreeable to their
wishes, and to redeem the pledge he gave
them previous to his leaving for the States,
he has enlarged his saloon to nearly
double it's former size, and that every
thing is now ready to satisfy the most
voracous, or delicate appetite, supplied
at the table from SIX O'Clock in the morn
ing till twelve at night.
The candy business at the counter Will
90 on as usual. Wholesale orders from
the country, for candy, cakes and other
fancy fxings. Orders for balls, weddings,
fairs, and social parties, executed with
the same punctuality which has been OBJ
served at the Fountain Head since its
foundation in 1849.
TO those who have visited this place
but once, and tasted of the good things
there to be had, he deems it unnecessary
to say more than that every thing about
the concern will be conducted upon the
same principal of neatness, quality and
Iiberality which has been so highly ap-
proved of, and which is peculiarly his
own, and to those who are strangers in
the city, he would say, try foryourselves.
With his troupe of corteous walters,
superior workmen in each branch of his
business, the Captain, Cor Col. Pierce,
should have said,) using the title journal
lists have given him, and know no reason
why should not, if merit deserves pro-
motion behind the counter-he f1atters
himself that matters will be done up to
the entire satisfaction of discriminating
public.

THAN ANY OTHER HOUSE

AND JEWELRY CHEAPER
THANANY OTHER HOUSE
IN THE CITY:
1st. | have leased the whole building
that occupy, and the rents | receive for
the parts leased out reduce my rent to
very small sum.
2d. l have no partner to divide profits
with, and am therefore enabled TO sell
cheaper than if had.
Sd. attend to my own sales, in con-
sequence of which1 have no clerk to pay,
and this is handsome saving per month.
4th | have not the expenses to pay of
a man in Europe to select my goods, but
receive them through orders from one Of
the largest Importers in New York; and
the proof that get them right is that
am able to sell cheaper than any other
house in the trade in the city. ~f

A CASTOR OIL EPIrEMIc. On late
trip of one of our New orleans steamers,
she was crowded with German einigradts
AS might be expected, their appetite for
fruit and vegetables, after a long sea
voyage, was most soracious. At Salem,
a short distance below this city, the boat
received some fifteen or twenty sacks of
castor beans, consivned to Mr.. Blow
The appearance of the bean, 'good to the
eye, excited the cravings of the emf
grants. Finally, curiosity and appetite
triumphed; a bag was surreptitiously
opened, large pan full extracted, and Il
huge lunch of bean soup prepared. In a
short time the passengers in the cabin,
and the officers of the boat, were startled
by the report that the cholera, in its worst
form, had broken out on deck On going
below, they found that the castor oil was
doing its work. The bag lay exposed
and large pot full of this rare deicacy
steaming hot on the table. The thing
was soon solved, and the captain had to
90 into quarantine, because, as he said,
ssthe Dutch didn't know beans"

The FATE OF DELINQUENT SUBsCRI-
BERs.-Br. Markham of the Waterville
Mail thus chronicles the sad fate of a man
who neg lected to "pay for his paper."-
We hope all newspaper subscribers will
take warning:
Thomas H. Moor, of North New Port
land, who owes for the Mail nearly five
years, has gone to California, and the +.
NJ. notifies us of the fact. If any of our
numerous subscribers in California should
see Thomas, we wish they would give
him our respects. Poor fellow! we pre-
dict for him sad fate. We had SINH
lar case a year ago. The man never ar
rived there, but was knocked in the head
on the Isthmus, and his body eaten up by
the wolves.
We clip the above from one of our ex-
changes. Thomas has certainly come to
the wrong country if he intends to pursue
his sinful course here. Caifornians al
ways make it rule to pay the printer
and the man who will not is but small
specimen of humanity in their eyes,
Thomas will certainly receive some
wholesome instruction in this country.

A divine out south had noticed
with pain the continual absence from

years constant worshiper, met his
negro servant, and inquired why his
master no longer attended divine
service.

"Is it possible?" said the minister,
in alarm; "can it be possible that he
has thrown aside the light of Chris

the dark, cheerless bogs of socialism"
"No sab, wus an dat" replied the
black, with a mournful shake of the
head.

Grated gentleman, sadly, "his classic
lore would too strongly incline him to

doggedly.
"Alas!" groaned the preacher, "thep

Religion and Temperance.

There are but few who are so de-
PRAYED, and SO lost to the world and
their God, that they will deny the
utility of religion in this world.
Whether they are practical professors
or not, whether they are believers or
not, they are all constrained to ac-
knowledge that religion has done
more towards harmonizing the affairs
of this world, and elevating the stand
ard of mankind in mind and morals,
than any other institution that has
ever existed. And when all sects and
denominations unite on one great plat
form in encouraging an enterprise, we
are very apt to conclude that it will
be for the good of all. They have
all united in recommending a pro-
hibitory law, and are passing resolu-
tons at their synods constantly urging
upon the community the necessity OF
passing this law. Then why will we
hang back and hesitate about this
matter, when we have such Conclu-
sive evidence and unimpeachable ad-
vocates in favor Of law Of Prohibi'
l ton I B.

To the Polls II To the POLISH!

Before our next issue, it will be de-
'termined by the voters Of Ohio
whether the liquor traffic shall remain
for two years longer, undisturbed, or
whether steps shall be in progress to
bring this iniquity to a close. We
have no fears for the result, next
Tuesday, if every freeman votes his
honest sentiments unawed and unln'
fluenced by party. Friends Of Pro-
hibition, go early to the polls, vote
and plead with your neighbors to
give their suffrage to PrOhibitory Law

1t is reported (but how true it is we
do not know that an old whisky
topper, creeping on bis hands and
knees amid some underbrush down ia
Texas, was bitten on the end Of the
nose by a hideous rattlesnake. Of
course the old cock expected bis days
were numbered; but he determined
to settle the hash with his foe on the
spot. Accordingly he procured a
weapon and was about to administer
death unto his adversary, when, TO
his astonishment, he discovered that
the serpent had keeled over dead, by
the effects Of the concentrated poison
he had extracted from the red pro
boscis, which had tempted him to
taste. The old man was no more af-
fected by the bite than you'd be a
piece Of sponge saturated with wateE.
What glorious thing is whisky. It
is even assisting mankind to carry out
the prophecy of old, where the Lord,
in pronouncing his curse upon the
serpent, said unto the serpent, Il viii
put enmity between thee and the wo-
man, and thy seed and her seed, and
it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel" B.
