TO CALIFO RNIA CONSUMERS
BILLINGS HAMS,

I DESIRE TO CALL PARTICULAR ATTEv
l. ton of consumers in California to the labal ON
brand upon my Hams, which in all cases hears
" fac simile" of my signature, and is in every ro'
spect the same label | have used for manv yaors
past
The unrivalled reputation my Hams have ong
borne in the California market, renders me ey
ceedingly anxious that no Hams packed bv othar
persons should be mistaken for the well known
and genuine
Horace Billings Hams,
And my present object Is to ask consumers, esna.
cialy to distinguish my Hams from certain other
Hams, which learn have this season been sent
to California, on which the name of
B ILL G. s
has been placed, with label resembling mine in
style, type, &c.
My Hams are cured under my own personal su.
pervsion, and their admitted excellence is owing
to the great care used, and the peculiar prepare,
tion they undergo in curing, by which delicacy of
flavor, preservation of the juice of the meat and
freedom from undue saltness are secured.
| confidently assure purchasers of my Hamsin
California that the cure of 1859 will be found Of
the choicest quality and flavor, and fully equalin
all respects TO any heretofore packed by me for
that market. HORACE BILLINGS,

LITTLE GRAvEs.-Sacrcd places for pure
thoughts and holy meditation are the little graves
in the church yard. They are the repositories
of the mothers sw eetest joy, half unfolded buds
of innocence, humanity uncouched by the frost
of time, ere yet single canker worn worm of
corruption had nestled among its embryo petals
Callous, indeed, must be the heart of him who
can stand by little grave-sde and not have the
holest emotions of the soul awakened to the
thoughts of purity and joy which belongs alone
TO God and heaven for the mute preacher at his
feet tells him of life began and lie end, d, with
out stain and surely This be the spirit land

whence emanated the soul of that sojourn among
us. How swells the heart of the parent with
moprnfu JOY while standing by the cold death

turning for some provisions. The two skeletons
found in it were probably the beat keepers-men

ing distance, without the boat. There was am.
munition in abundance, but the country-the
early spring, at least, when our countrymen were
there, affords no game whatever. Even Esqui-
maux cannot live there. With regard to provis-
ions, you will observe that ! mentioned choco-
late Tea and tobacco. L is clear that these alone
will not sustain life. You are doubtless aware
that an unusually large quantity of animal food
is necessary, even to men in vigorous health in
cold climates. Had the country been capable of

have remained for US to gather up. | do not
think further records would be found by a second
expedition over the same ground. You will OBJ
serve that my first care was to reach Montreal
Island and Point Ogle, where Anderson S search
terminated, and after re examining those posi-
tions, to complete the search from thence to
