To California Consumers
...OF......
BILLINGS HAMS.

T DESIRE TO call particular attention of con-
/ sumers in California to the label of brand
upon my Hams, which in all cases bears fac
smilie 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 be mistaken for the
well known and genuine
HORACE BILLINGS HAMS,
And my present object is to ask consumers, es-
pecialy 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, &c.
My Hams are cured under my 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 favor, preservation of the juices of
the meat, and freedom from undue saltness 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
n all respects to any heretofore packed by me
for that market. HORACE BILLINGS,
Patentee, Beardstown, Illinois.

seasons packing in addition to the usual brand,

Miners Meeting at Stump Ranch.

The meeting at Stump Ranch, owned by Mr..
VIM. Thompson, endorsing the action of the Ci-
gar Makers Association of San Francisco, in
regard to Chinese labor, was of the most en-
thusiastic character, and the greatest unanimity
prevailed. The following preamble and resolu-
tons were adopted:
WHEREAS, The evil effect of Chinese serfs be-
ing permitted to labor at particular callings has
begun to be felt in other communities than the
mines; and whereas move has been made in
San Francisco, by certain mechanics, to call
public attention to this great and growing
wrong, therefore
Res tired, That we, the miners of Rock Creek
and vicinity, have heard with pleasure of the
movement made by the Cigar Makers of San
Francisco in relation to the Chinese following
the same occupation, and have assembled our
selves together to express our deep felt sympa-
thy in their behalf, having suffered long and
grievously from the same cause.
Resolred, That's miners we will cooperate in
any and all just, legal and honorable means that
may be devised to remedy the evil under which
we suffer, and from which we anxiously want to
be relieved.
Resolred, That we earnestly solicit the miners
Of this and the various mining counties in the
State-in fact, we invite all, whatever their call
ing, who are or may be affected by the baleful
curse of Chinese competition, to join with us in
maturing and adopting some plan to correct the
evil which has so grievously depleted our mines
of American citizens and gold, and which, un-
less corrected, will sooner or later affect seri-
ously every branch of labor within our State.
Resolred, That it is with deep regret we no.
ticed the neglect which the niuth session of
the Legislature manifested towards tho suhiact
of Chinese serf labor in the mines, and we ear
nestly solicit the attention of the members of
the tenth session of the Legislature to take early
and promptactio upon this important question
and pass some law that will give us the desired
relief. EDWARD L. REESE, Chairman

saw it plow up the hard baked ground as fast
as man can walk turning over a strip of ground
over nine feet in width, and laying the furrow
as well as any ordinary plow can do it.
We rode on it when blowing and had good
opportunity to observe the action of the e;ght

CLUB HOUSE GIN.
TO THE PUBLIC.

TH | CELEBRATED GIN-pretendng to
Il nothing but what it is, viz a pure and un-
adulterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits of what it is not, as some of its rival imi-
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 as beverage of general use, to any other ar
ticle competing against it, bnt is
Unrivalled in its Medical Efficiency
in most cases of complaint. To persons 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 antagonsm
to the preceding one, thereby causing an uHnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely necessary to use a
counteracting agent. From the fact that the
"London Club House Gin,
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 - Aromatic
Scheidam Schnapps" has never been attached
in any way to this article. In first presenting
the
ssLOndOn Club House Ginn
10 the pubic, my aim was to give them a 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" Ny Gin, which has
gained such reputation in California, is brand
ed on the cases,

An Hour at the Old Play Ground.
By HENRY NoRFoRD.

! sat an hour to-day, John,
Beside the old brook stream,
Where we were school-boys in old time,
When manhood was a dream
The brook is choked with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away
scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The school-house is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees;
The wild rose by the window side
No more waves in the breeze;
The scattered stones look desolate,
The sod they rested on
Has been ploughed up by stranger hands
Since you and were gone.
The chestnut tree is dead, John,
And what is sadder now
The broken grapevine Of our swing
Hangs on the withered bough:
| read our names upon the bark
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side
As we had piled them there.
Beneath the grass-grown bank, John,
| looked for our old spring,
OuOu4tu NOnu tut dlUtT pdlU,
Three PAGES from the swing.
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
And not foot this many day,
1t seems, has trodden there.
took the old blind road. John,
That wandered up the hill;
'Tis darker than it used to be,
And seems so lone and still;
The birds sing yet among the boughs
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
Bat not voice of human kind
Where all our voices rung.
! sit me on the fence, John,
That lies as in old time,
The same half panel in the path
We used so oft to climb
And thought how DER the bars of life
Our playmates had passed on,
And left me counting on this spot
The faces that are gone.

An INLAND SEA-The Alta states that salt

yards apart, and the water at full tide is
three fathoms deep, while AT low tide it is not
more than two. This sea abounds in COW whales
between December and April, which go there to
