SERIOUS AT LAsT.--A notorious atheist
named Thomson, who has Of late considered
it his mission in this world to get UP bur-
lesque prayer meetings, for the amusement Of
ant-revivalists, has been found dead in a
ditch near New York, having fallen through
bridge in the night. This may be consid

man with such tastes was very likely to be
fond Of other vicious excitements besides

TO CAL[FORNIAC CONSUMERS OF

T DESIRE to call particular attention of con-
L sumers in California; to the Label or Brand
upon my hams. which in all cases bears fac
smile of my signature. and is, in every respect.
the same label | have used for many years past
The unrivae reputation which my hams have
in the California market renders me exceedingly
anxious that no hams packed by other persons
should be mistaken for The ,celi- hn0,cn and genu-
inc Horace billings Hams, and my prescnt'ob-
ject is to ask consumers especially TO distinguish
my Hams fom other hams which learn have
this season been sent to California, upon which
the name of Billings have been placed. with
label resembling mine in style, type, &c. &c. My
Hams are cured under my own personal super
vision, and their admitted excellence is owing to
the great care used and to the peculiar prepara-
ten they undergo in curing, by which dclicacy
of flavor preservation of the juices of the meat
and freedom from undue saltness are secured l
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,

LADIES WHO WOULD HAVE FRAGRANT
BREATH, ArTENTIoN!-The following is a
good domestic recipe for highly scented
tinclure to perfume the breath: Take either
a white wine, such as cherry, or any alec
holic spirit, quarter of pint; broken
cloves and grated nutmegs, of each one
drachm Zone eighth of an ounce0 cinnamon,
a quarter of an ounce: caraway seeds, bruis-
ed, quarter Of an ounce; place all these
dry substances into the wine or spirit, in a
half pint bottle, and let them stand together
for several days, agiating them every night
and morning to accelerate tincturation, for
at least week; then strain off the tincture
through linen to get it bright; then add
about ten drops of otto of lavender and, if
you can afford it, five to ten drops of otto of
rose also. Although the recipe is complete
without it, yet this latter substance greatly
improves the formula. A few drops of this
tnr,ure, put on to lump of sugar and mas
tirated, will scent the breath. 1t may also
he used with advantage on the tooth. brush in
lieu of tooth powder, or, mixed with water,
it can be used as gurge. Either way will
procure "breath of roses"

it impossible to relieve. To all who are afflicted
in this way, DR.. Young would particularly rec
ommend trial of his skill The symptoms with
which you are troubled are caused by taints IN
the blood, which sooner or later will destroy

had an attack of any private complaint, should

Sealing Wax fer Fruit Cans.

AS preserving fruit is becoming great
business in California, it being portion of
the duties of every good housewife, we copy
the following receipt for making sealing wax
therefor, from late number of the New
York Tribune:
"Don't buy sealing wax for your bottles
of fruit, or fruit juice, called wine, or any
thing else that you want to seal up for future
use. Make it yourself. How We will
tell you. These are the ingredients:
Bees wax, half an ounce; English vermil-
lion, one and a half ounces; gum shellac,
two ounces; rosin eight ounces.
Take some cheap iron vessel that You can
always keep for the purpose, and put in it the
rosin and melt it, and sir in the vermillon.
Then add the shclac slowly, AM stir that in
and afterward tie bees wax. When wanted
for use at any after time, set it upon slow
fire and melt it so you can dip the bottle
nozzle in. RecoIect that the vermil.ion is
only put in for the looks of the thing, and
if YOU want to use it for any purpose where
color is no object, as for instance in sealing
over wounds upon trees, you may leave the
color out. The ingredients for the above.
bought in this city, costs only twenty-five
cents, for which, and a little trouble, you can
have three quarters of pound of good
sealing wax for any common use. For any
purpose, such as an application to trees,
where YOU want it tougher than the above
proportions will make it, add little more
beeswax, and leave out The vermillion.

From the S. +. Citizen.

GS- The question is often asked-''Why is it
that Or. j. G. Young is so successful. while 9TH
er advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day." The answer must be or should be, plain
ly apparent to all; it is, that he understands his
profession and attends to it; and as his practice
increases, his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tice that he is perfect master of his profession
and can insure all relief from their troubles and
while Others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered
his course is onward and upward, placing him at
the head of his arduous profession. So great
has been his increase of business that he has
been obliged to associate with himself two other
physicians both of extended knowledge and prac-
tice. We would advise all afflicted to call upon
him in preference to any other Physician. We
are informed that he treats entirely on the vege-
table System. and will always warrant a perfect
cure. His Office is at 2l0 Clay street, opposite
the upper corner Of the Plaza
From the Times and Iranscritt
There are thousands in this State suffering for
want of scientific medical treatment. and they
fear to apply to physician. because they have
been deceived. or their friends have been, by
some Of the charaans who iniest the commune
ty, and who publish themselves as good physicians
professors etc. To all such we unhestatingly
recommend DR.. j. G. Young. asa physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is man o.
eminent and profound study a good surgeon. an
honorable man, and one who can sympathise with
persons in affection. His standingas p. yscian
and gentleman are both guaranteed the first, by
his medical works. which are an honor to their
author. and the extensive and highly successful
course Of practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons and large circles of ac-
quantances. We say to all afflicted. call on him,
as he will at once state the case to you, and you
may rely upon his Judgment Welke his prin-
cipe-no cure moray.
