How RED are the cheeks, when we ask them

Though trying for numberless years.
How WHITE is the bride at the altar,
Whom every one honors and loves,
As though she herself took the halter
Instead of the wretch in white gloves
But oh ! when they come to be matrons,
You husbands know well it is true,)

BILLINGS HAMS.

DESIRE to call particular attention of con-
L sumers in California to the label of brand
upon my Hams, which in al, cases bears a fac
simile of my signature, and is in every respect
the same label have used for many years past
The unrivalled reputation which my Hams
have long borne in the California market rem
ders me exceedingly anxious that no Hams pack
ed by other persons should he mistaken for the
well known and genuine
HORACE BILLINGS, HAMS,
And my present object is to ask consumers, es-
pecially to distinguish my Hams from certain
other Hams, which learn have this season been
sent to California. on which the name of
BILLINGS
has been placed, with a label resembling mine
in style, type, sc.
My Hams are cured under nv own personal
supervision. and their admitted excellence is
owing to the great care used, and the peculiar
preparation they undergo in curing, by which
delicacy of flavor, preservation of the juices OF
the meat and freedom from undue sadness are
secured
| confidently assure purchasers Of my Hams in
California that the cure of 1859 will be found OF
the choicest quality and flavor, and fully equal
in all respects to any heretofore packed by me
for that market. HORACE BILLINGS,
Patentee, Beardstown, Illinois.
N. B. All barrels containing the Hams of this
seasons packing in addition 10 the usual brand,
will bear the words in red paint,

By The Hon. Augustus R. Sellers, of Calvert

gress from the 9th district of that State, and
more recently attached to the American party
has published letter in which he says:
O. am forced into the ranks of the Democratic

20 years of active opposition because l behold
in that party the only bulwark of Southern
rights the only political organization capable of

CLUB HOUSE GIN.
TO THE PUBLIC.

THI S CELEBRATED GIN-pretending to
4 nothing but what it is, viz: pure and un-
adulteFated article, and assuming no artificial
merits of what it is not, as some of its rival mi-
tators do--after five years of public approval
and very extensive sales in California, has been
pronounced by the public to be superior, not on
ly MS beverage Of general use, to any other ar
tcle competing against it, bnt is
gnrivaHed in ITS Medical Efficiency
in most cases of complaint. Topersons travel
ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West, North to South, who are constantly chang
ing their water as well as their climate; who are
drinking, indeed, dozen kinds of water in ev-
cry twenty-four hours and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
uTal degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely necessary to use a
counteractng agent. From the fact that the
"Londen Club House Ginn
is prepared expressly to meet such exigencies
and to act as we know it will act, as an anti
dote, we confidently prescribe it as the very best
article in the country. The name of I" Aromatic
Scheidam Schnapps" has never been attached
in any way to this article. In first presenting
the
"London Club House Gin"
to the public, my aim was to give them pure
and unadulterated article of Gin. and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction and extensive sale in California is
a sufficient guarantee Of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped to California an article which they
call Club House Gin" My Gin, which has
gained such reputation in California, is brand
ed on the cases,

is consequently in great demand by persons
travelling, or about to settle in parts of the
country especially, as well as by many in every
community, where it has become known, on
account of its various other remedial proper
ties
In all cases of a dropscal tendency, it is gen.
orally the only remedy required, when adopted
IN the early stage of the disease.
In Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper
quantities, as a diet drink, and especially at
dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be
emnently efficaciCus in the most obstinate cases,
when even the best of the usual remedies have
failed to afford more than temporary relief. In
cases of Flatuency, it is an immediate and in
variable specific, and it may be administered in
diluted and proportionate quantities, even to
Young Infants, in all those paroxysms of gripping
pain in the stomach and bowels to which they
are especially subject as well as in the collie of
grown persons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the
principal meals, or when a sense of exhaustion
dictates its use, never fails to relieve the debil-
ty attendant upon protracted chronic malades,
low temperament and exhausted vital energy, by
whatever cause induced. These are facts to
which many of the most eminent medical men,
both in England and the United States, have
borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
the highest written authorities.
Put up in quart and pint bottles, in cases of
one dozen, with my name the bottle cork,
and facsimile of my signature on the label.
For sale by all the respectable Druggists and
Liquor Dealers in California and Oregon.

A recent trip through the south western
section Of this county, gave us much more
cheering idea of the prospects Of the wheat
crop iii Loul"un than We had formerly formed.
The crop will not he iull one, tut it will be
better than was anticipated The lands i'll
that section are generally we'll cultivated.
and the farms present neat and we'll cared
for appearance. Many Of the large estates
are managed IN admirable style, every com
fort provided tor the stock, and every advan-
tage and convenience for the saving and
protection OF the crop. A county with such
lands, under the control of farmers SO indus
trious and intelligent could not be otherwise
than prominent In a great state, IL LaudOun
is in this Commonwealth
The Potomac Furnace situated in this
county, near the Point OF Rocks, has passed
into the hands of a Pennsylvania company,
who intend erecting large furnace near
the site Of the old building. They have now
IA number of hands employed in getting out
the ore from the mex haustible mine. there,
and having it transported to Pennsylvania
to be converted into iron. These mines are
very valuable, being convenient t. the Cbes-
apeake aud Ohio canal aud the Baltimore and
Ohio RAILROAD.
We regret to learn that Mrs. Helm, the
wife of the Rev. Joseph Helm, Of this county,
had her les broken last week while on visit
to Uprcrville.
