For the speedy cure Of

For the speedy cure Of
Coughs, colds. Influenza, Group, hoarseness, bron-
ohitis, pneumonia, diseases of the bowels, arising
from cold, incipient oconsun pticl, and for the
relief, and (if at all possible) euro of patients
in advanced stages of tho latter disease.
This celebrated preparation, like the Bittsrs
may be confidently relied on. It is designed for
q class of diseases more fatal than any other to
which the people of this country 90 tubject-
those sprin cling from a"sLIeHT coLD.' That emf
nent authority, DR.. Bell, says: "I will rot say
that colds are to our inbabt ants what the PLAGUE
and Y Low FEVER are to those OF other CO IN
tries; but, can aver con fdent'y that they usher
in disease of greater completely and mortality
A further proof of the terrible fatality CT dis-
eases resulting from "CONMoN coLD' may be
seen by glance at the following statistics, takes,
from tho records Of the Bosrd of Health u
Philadelphis. confessedly one Of the most healthy
localities in the Union:-
1852. Total deat tbs in Philadelphia, ,isl

- 9,14s
1854. Total deaths, 1874
Died of consumption, 2,l7S
I" " all other diseases, 1859
From these figures, it will be sesn that nearly
one fourth of the total deaths in t! coustry are
cauced by consumption, to say nothing of the nu-
merous other diseases apringing from "slght
cold"
Do not trife with your health; but, If suffering
from q cough, or cold on the lungs buy bottle Of
HOOFLAND'S BALSAMIC CORDIAL, and you
may safely count on cure. Thousands have
done so, and have certified to its wonderful effects
Coughs sometimes proceed from q disnrdered or
dyspeptic state of the stomach, in which case tho
German Bitters should be used. In cases of weak
ness, or genera! deb lily Of the system. resulting
from protracted coagh, the German Bitters will
be found of great benefit.

any design to annoy them. In consideration of his
candor, and upon promise of not doing again, he
was released by paying fine of one dollar and
costs taxed at $l,so. We will merely remark in
this connection that the ordinance referred to gives
the Mayor power to impose fine not exceeding
one hundred dollars upon each and every person
engaged in making noise by pounding on kettles,
pans, &C., or by hallooing, so as to disturb the
peace and quiet of the city. The ordinance clearly
forbids the frequent demonstrations known as
''charivaris," though this is the first INSTANCE, we
believe, in which it has been enforced.
wWe have been permitted by Mr.. J.. G..
Webb to read letter received by him from Mr..
w. NJ. Foss, young man formerly in the employ
of Mr.. G. G. Mahan, of this city. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Foss, in company with our
young friend, D. T. Miller, went to California
about year ago. Both are now residing in Sac
ramento, Mr.. Miller having opened stove and tin
store in that city in connection with another young
man, and is doing we'll. MIR. Foss has obtained
pleasant stuatonin hardware store but writes that
California and especially the cities of San Francisco
and Sacramento, are overrun by young men "wait-
ing for something to turn up" many Of whom
would gladly work for their board if they could
get chance. Board is from s., so to 81 per week,
and with lodgings from s. to s.. Ready made
clothing is cheap, but goods made to order COM
mand high prices. They have paper money in
California, and the smallest coin in circulation is
'bit" or 123 cents. Mr.. F. does not speak in very
high terms Of the climate of that country particu.
larly as regards health and agreeableness. The
rainy season commences in November, and contn'
with intervals of warm pleasant days till March
after which no rain falls for seven months. San
Francisco, during the summer season, is visited
every afternoon with cold, damp wind from thu
bay which continues till night, and is decided,
unpleasant. MIR. Foss closes his letter thus:
