.Ague Cure,
FOR TIE SPEEDY CURE OF

Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
AgMe, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
FOR the whole class of diseases Originnt-
ing in hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria OF Miasnfatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cares the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these allctrg disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expcls the niasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
vcopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach fits premonitory symptoms. Itisnot only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intemittcnts is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently produces no quinisrn or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton Those cured by it are left as healthy as il
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Goat, Headache, Blind
ness, IoothGche, EarGche, Cata,Tb, ASthnld, Pal
initiation, PGixtut affection of the Spleen, Hyster-
icS, Pain IN tile Bo'ceIs, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rangement of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
ty1e, or become periodical. This CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarous districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excretcd from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
case. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittcnts if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords. ...r

Scrofula, OF Kings Evil,

IS constitutional disease, a corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiataA
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, u
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it.. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities of the, fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from ths
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, II
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corr
ruption; which genders in the blood, depresssA
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; consea
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system Most of the consumption which do.
cimatesthe human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, braini
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from Or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulousI /
their persons are invaded by this lurking I'M
fection, and their health is undermined by it,
To cleanse it from the system we must renovats
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in!
vigorate it by healthy food and exercised
Such medicine we supply in

The New MAIL RoUrE.-Speaking of the
openening of daily mail route through to
Portland, the jacksonville Sentinel of the
lSth snys;
THE road being constructed oyer Scott
Mountain under the supeI ntsndence of Mr.
Carr, for the California Stage Company, is
rapidly progressing, apd when finished, will
be the very best and safest mountain road in
California. One hundred men are at work
upon it, and stages will most likely run over
1t by the / 5th proximo. This will enable pas
scngers to ride in coaches or wagons from
Portland to Sacramento without trouble We
passed over five or six miles of the road last
week, OH our road home from below, and the
grade was so gentle that we found no diff
Guilty in cantering the mule all the way up
the mountain side A new road is being
made oveT the big divide between Yreka and
SCOTS Valley, under charge of Mr. John
Andrews, of the California Stage Company,
which win be soon completed. 1t will 90
viate the unpleasant ride at present made
over the mountain, and is much safer way
and easie1 grade than the road now travelled.
In due time, stage ride from this place to
sacramento will be little more than pleas
nre trip.

the example of the workwen engaged in
constructing the gasometer, struck for re-
duction of working hours, from eleven to ten.
The contractors, Messrs. Hewes and Stafford,
refused TO accede TO their demand and paid
them off. The STRIKERS have our sympathy,
for eleven hours a day at sand shovelling is
lust one hour too much. 1t is back breaking

cents per hour If the contractors cannot

they will not, they must needs come to terms:

SOUTHERN OREGoN.-The Jacksonville Sen
tnel Of the 18th inst, has the following
items:
QUARTZ MINING. G.-The Steam Quartz Mill
Company are crushing quartz taken from the
blackwell lode. From some 60 tons of rock
only $500 were obtained.
The lsh company are still engaged in taking
rock from the great shaft. which is worked TO
over sixty feet depth without any indication
of failure Of the auriferous quartz. For our
own part. we have strong faith in the con-
tinued richness of this vein.
The johnson, Cupp g. Woods Company
whose lode is up on Jackson Creek have had
n steam crushing mill brought them from
Yreka, which will be in working order in &
short time.
CnoPs.-Wheat has not produced SO well
generally in the Valley as we had expected
but Of barley, rye and oats, fine crops have
been harvested The corn, as a general thing
has yielded fairly, but we hear of one or two
fields which are almost total failures, OF
account of the intense hot weather coming
upon 1t too soon.

MARYsvILLE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-On Mon
day, Sd of September, proximo, the Annual
Fair of the Northern District of California,
will BEGIN, and extend through the week to
Saturday evening. sth proximo. The people
OF Marysville have been up and doing, and
We feel assured that the Fair will loom up as
the greatest agricultural demonstration ever
yet witnessed in California We know the
men who are engaged in it, to be among the
most energetic, thorough-going generous
and difficult to beat of any in the State
Therefore we can promise, that everything
connected with the approaching Fair, will
be introduced and maintained in a stvle that
must do ample honor to the Great North
of California. OF the Pavilion We need not
speak, Its capaciousness, its convenience
and its interior decorations and arran gcments
have been studied and will doubtless be an
preciated by people of good taste, come from
what quarter they may Of course. as in
1858 and 1859, it will again be chock full of
the products and representatives Of the agri-
cultural and horticultural wealth of the
northern counties.
The grounds appropriated to the exhib-
tlon OF domestic animals we learn, are TO be
several times larger than heretofore, and
much more extensive hippodrome will be
provided for the fair equestriennes who NAV
choose to witch the world with feats of noble
horsewomansbip. The hotels and boarding
houses have arranged to put on no extra
prices, and visitors to the Fair need not be
npprehensive of unfair treatment. The peo
pie of Marysvile have acquired an enviable
reputation for their hospitality, which they
VIII net consent to lose to crafty the ayarice
of anybody.
During the week of the Fair-and it will
he week of weeks for Marysvlle-there
will be abundance of intellectual amusement.
The theater will be opened by Mr.. George
Ryer with histrionic troupe, and there will
he no end to the balls, the iunketings, and
merry- -makings. The Pavilion all dav will
sparkle with platoons and battalions of Ewes
fairest daughters This is an attraction wor-
thy Of being considered.
Our county of Nevada has deep stake in
this "Far of the Northern District of Cali
fornia," and we hope our peple will not he

AMERICAN PEEREssEs More American la.
dies have married English noblemen than is
generally supposed The most remarkable
instance was that of the three daughters of
Richard Cation, Esq, Of Baltimore, grand
daughters Of Charles Carroll, of Carrolton,
who were sent 10 England 10 be educated,
and each of whom knocked down her peer" ="
They married the Marquis Wellesley, Lord
Stafford and The Duke of Leeds. The
Duchess Dowoger of Leeds is the only sur
vivor of the sisters, and their husbands are
also dead. Besides these, the first Lord ASH
burton married the daughter of the Hon.
William Bingham of Philadelphia, by whom
he left large family. The eldest, William
Bingham Barring the present Lord Ashbur-
ton held high office, and is very influential
as well from his abilities as his great wealth
The second Lord Erskine (the son of the
Chancelor) married the daughter of General
Cadwallader, of Philadelphiq, where the
present peer was born, and named in honor
of the country of his BIRTH Thomas American
Erskine. We believe there haye been other
instances also, but We do not now remember
them.

most of which distance is graded and in readi

wealthiest men in California are engaged in
1t, and there seems to be no doubt that the
iron horse will be running from tide water
