Tue STATIoxERY TRADE.-Gradually the light
dawns upon Us, and one by one the facts break
forth. that We, a nation Of ten years growth
are fast becoming civilized. Not only the ruder
marks of intellect, as manifested in the various
mechanical contrivances Of our mines and farms
but literature and the fine arts are taking unto
themselves local habitation and name in our
midst. Stationery follows closely upon the heels
of refinement, and few persons are aware of the
extent and importance of this branch Of our
trade. The word Stationer, originally, signifed
Bookseller, frcm his occupying a stand or sta
tion but as the publication and sale of books in
creased, it was separated from that of the other,
be name Stationor remaining with the Yender Of
Paper, Ink, Pens, etc.
At this day, and in our country, Book and
Stationery store is perfect thermometer Of the
naturc, extent and quality of the community.
Wherever you see a neat, well kept establishment
of this kind, with a gcntlemanly and intelligent
proprietor, you may be you are in the midst
ef an intellectual refined and well informed peo-
pie.
About two years ago tSr. Albert A. Bancroft,
brother of the eminent Publisher and Bookseller,
conceived the idea of taking Stationery and max
ing it separate and distinct branch of trade,
devoting his best energies to that alone. No
house exclusively Stationery bad as yet been
started upon The Pacific Coast. Accordingly,
after having spent one year in preparation, the
requisite arrangements were consumated for re
ceving regular supplies from the Mills and Man
ufactories of the United States, England, France
and Germany, and the enterprise launched in
San Francisco, early in 1860 under the name of
! A. L. Bancroft L Co.. Mr.. H. Il. Bancroft be-
coming junior partner in the firm.
SO far it has proved decided success, there
not being town of any consequence in Cali
fornia, Oregon Washington or Utah which does
not contain one or more customers ofthis house.
Closely allied 10 the interests of this new firm,
stands the old house of Ii. II. Brarcroft & Co.
with its large warerooms crowded to overflow
ing with books in every department of litera-
ture. The customers of these two h)uses de-
rive great advantages in their being sblc to
make up their entire stock from them, aud by
each department of their business being cGrri-
ed separately and upon its own merits. We
heartily say. Fatronze the new house of 4. l..
/ Bancroft and Co., they deserve it.

The Great Cure for pxspepaia.


One of the most terrible evils in the
community is the widespread preva
lence of Dyspepsia. 1t is to be found
in almost every family in our land, and
thousands are suffering from what
they believe to be ailments of the head,
the heart, the chest, the liver or bow
els. which are in reality but symptoms
and the results Of the presence of Dys-
pepsia So many forms does this dire
arrangement of the animal functions
assume, that thousand different cases
might be cited in which the complica-
tioh or combination of symptoms is en-
tirely different. Probably the most
efficient remedial agent known is the
Orygenuted BiHers, prepared by S
w. Fowle & Co, Boston. We have
seen letters from individuals whose
character and position in society en-
title them to confidence. and the aFtir
Gle has been approved by some of our
most eminent professional men. - Bos7

The above expresses our opinion of
this well known remedy.

The Dutch Geese.

"There goes the old Dutehman who
had the dangerous geese s" exclaimed
a friend in the conntry, the other day,
calling our attention to a Dutchman
of the old "schooln who was walking
slowly along the road. We asked an
explanation,
"Why, when the Yankees first be-
gan to settle here, ! was Joined by q
slab-sided Yankee big, sheepish-
looking man-one day as was pick
ing up the quivers that his geese had
dropped by the edges of an oblong
pond at the roadside. Presently one
of the geese stretched out his neck at
the Yankee, who started off and ran as
if mad dog were at his heels.
Il dold him." said the Dutchmap,
"not to pc avraid dat de geese would
not hurt i'm any; but de geese did
run after i'm, dough, clear over de hill,
and none Of um wouldn't give him any
rest. whenever he came along the
street. pelieve dsy had spite agin
de Yankees Mein Gracious it's
curious, dough, dat de geese always
went away, and didn't come back any
more"
The secret of that was, that the
Yankee, who was afraid of the Dutch
mans geese, had thrown out kernels
of corn, among which was one with
fsh-hook attached. Once swallowed,
the angry goose was soon in tow of
the flying fugitive.

A DREADFUL FEMALE RIOT. The

some offence, was attacked by three

Gardiner, and Eleanor Dayis, with
stones and clubs, the other day, and
the lives of the children seriously i'm.
periled. A second attack was made
the next day more violent than before,
which led to the arrest of the women
and their committal to the New Castle
Jail for trial. The afaE created the
most intense exeitemet ia the neigh
borhood, and was followed by another
outrage equally as reprehensible as the
first. The people turned out in body

women, aud proceeding TO the house

A Daughter of Malta.

A young and beautiful girl, having
an intense desire to know the secrets
of the Sons of Malta, dressed in male
attire, and, by a succession of ingeni-
Gus devices, made the acquaintance
and won the confidence of an unsus-
pecting Son, who presented her aqpli-
cation for membership, and under an
assumed name and sex was favorably
passed upon. At the proper time for
initiation, the young lady appeared
and was introduced into the Lodge
room by the Grand Conductor. What
she saw and heard the unnitiated can
never know. She braved the ordeal
nobly Her secret is known only to
herself. She seemed to be perfectly
satisfied, and was well plea ed with the
good condition of the members. The

Easter.

Last Sabbath, being the first after
the first full moon following the 2Ist
of March. or yernal equinox, brought
with it the recurrence of Easter-and
the time-henored day was observed in
the usual eggstatic, eggstraordinary,
Eeggscellent style. Easter is festival
of the church, commemorative of the
resurrection; and even those who do
not observe the day with devotional
ceremonies, it should ever be remem-
bered with humble and grateful hearts.
The connection Of eggs with Easter,
is custom, the origin Of which seems
to have been lost sight of ia the intri-
cate mazes Of antiquity, though it is
generally supposed 80 be Jewish. In
oIden times, history informs Us, the ap-
propriate viands for Easter were, first
aid above all, eggs-then bacon, tansy,
{ bitters we presume.) pudding, and
topped off with modicum of bread
and cheese. BY degrees however, al
the dishes save the first, have been ut
terly discarded.
