BRUTAL MuRDER.--A negro named Charles
Sharp residing at Indian Gulch, tributary of the
North Fork of the Merced, was found dead and hor-
ribly mangled in his cabin, week before last. He
was seen about the cabin on Monday, the 5th inst,
by some persons living near the place, who, after
wards missing him, and seeing the canvas roof Of
his house torn and cut, thought something was
wrong, and upon entering found the negro dead,
being shot in the head, cut in the neck with ak,
and stabbed in the side. Coroner's jury returned
a verdict Of death by the hands OF unknown men.
Two suspicious looking characters, supposed to be
the guilty parties, were seen prowling about the
neighborhood previous to the murder.

THE Cause.-The Washington Constitution, (the
organ of Buchanan,) in speaking Of the death Of
Senator Broderick, says that the "fatal quarrel"
between Senator Broderick and Terry was "purely
OF personal and private nature" This is strange
assertion, as ii is declaration that Terry killed
Broderick for defending him; as the only matter
"purely of persona. and private nature" between
them, was that Senator Broderick expended large
amount of money to assist in preserving Terry from
being hung by the Vigilance Committee Of San
Francisco Stockton Democrat.

DR.. J.. HOSTETTER'S
EBRATED STOMACH BlTTERS.

Ru+ that numerous class who devote them
eoIves TO literary and other sedentary pursuits,
and in consequence of a want of physical exer-
else. become the victims of languor and debll-
itv. without nerve or appetite, have hitherto
sought in vain for some invigoratlng, lne-Slvng
medicine, whose effects upon the system snaI!
be both speedy and permanent. Physicians OF
eninence, and profoundly acquainted with the
requirements of the human frame, commend
H0STETTER'S BITTERS as the safest and
swiftest stirnulant to the recuperative energies
of the system vet discovered. 1t restores the
annette. gives fresh vigor to the digestive
organs. sends the blood through the veins with
a more lively current, corrects tendency 10
depression of spirits, and fits man Tor the
transaction of business with cheerful heart
and an active mind. Unlike other medicines
which have been devised for the -..ine object,
the RITTERS do not act spasmodically.
or with temporary power the influence OF
the remedy is lasting. And if a patient Will
but give some attention to securing proper
exercise. after the relief has been afforded, he
Derd fear no return of the affection. O The
debility natural TO the Entertainments Of years
upon the bodily frame IS also allevlated by
thi- great strengthening medicine, thus enabling
the aged TO pass their declining days in physical
ease; whereas they are now suffering from e1-
IRENE weakness and nervousness. 10 this ven
cradle class of people, HOSTETThRO
BITTERS may be commended as invaIu-
able. The proprietors of this invigorator have,
IN addition, deep qualification IN assuring
NURSING MOTHERS that they will find
the BHTTERS the best and safest of
r.~toratives. Very few medicines are sane
toned by physicians as proper TO be admins
,.r.d during the period of nursing; and this
las obtained an universal preference.
