STATE BosDs-Virgnia State securities sold
in New York on Wednesday at par. 1t has now
been nearly II months since they rscedcd below
that point, aud in their downward movementthey
reached as low figure as 60. We are glad to
receive the intelligence Of their restoration to par
and hope that they will either be steady At that
point, or that they will further improve. The
July dividend of per cent, however, will now
be due in fortnight, and this circumstance haa,
no doubt, served to push them up for the present.

economical, nutritious, and wholesome prepara-
lions ever brought 10 the table, eminently COM
bining the qualification Of the palate with ample
and hesilhful sustenance of the body.
Strictly speaking, Heckers' Farina is neither
stringent nor laxative, but restorative, srengen-
ing the digestive and absorbent system. In dis
ordered bowels, diarrhae, dysentery, and even in
cases of cholera, when food is deemed admissible
by the physicians, Heckers' Farina cannot fail 10
be salutary; and wherever known is extensively
used in hospitals and private practice. The pres
ervation of health or the prevention Of sickness
is at least as important the curing of disease.
People in health should therefore use Heckers'
Farina freely, common food, TO preserve the in
estmable blessing.
