The Coal OIL BURNER CAsE-The case of
Dietz vs.. Bragg & Co., for infringement of his
coal oil burner, was concluded in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday, and resulted
in verdict for the plaintiff The plaintiff,
Samuel Dietz. of New York, is the inventor
of the grand principle of bringing double
draft OF air in such manner upon Il upon q
flame of coal oil, as to make it consume all its
carbon, and give forth light which for lril-
liancy, safety and cheapness, is almost uusur.

previously, but no method could be devised
to make it bnrn, until Mr.. Dietzaccomplished
the requirement by introducing draft Of air

invention, which is as sin pie as beautiful, a
new burning fluid was at once brought into
notice, and a great good was accomplished
Like the invention of the needle with the eye

is the one that the firm of Bragg & Co. of this

two burners viii show at glance that the
Hale burner is little more than an alteration
the improvement quesiionable--o of Detzs
burner and as it is admitted that Deitz was
the inventor and patentee OF the principle on
which poth burners are constructed there
can be little question but that Hale's is bad
copy of Dietz's. SO Mr. Deitz claimed and
brought suit againt Bragg Il Co. for selling
the Hale burners here as an improvement Of
his patent
SO the jury Of the United States Circuit
Court yesterday thought, and so probably

CATION Of the subject for himself We believe
that Mr.. Deitz is making a fortune or several
fortunes perhaps, out othis invention; and
some persons may allow few more to share
with him; but such principle is mere rob

Importance and should be allowed to reap
the full and entire fruits of it. If any person
can invent real Improvement let him do so
and reap his fruits but, at the same time,
if he can not proceed without Dietzs prnci

The BREcKINEIpGE MEETING IN SAcRAMry.
To.-There were about fifteen hundred per-
sons at the Breckenridge meeting in Sacra.
mento, Saturday evening. The President on
taking the chair, presented the following
resolution:
HeSoIred, That we, the Democracy of Sac
ramento county, recognize in John L. Breck-
inridge and Joseph Lane the true exponents
OF Democratic principles, and as such we
hereby ratliy their nomination and recon-
mend them to the support of the Democracy
of California.
upon the question ofits adoption, the noes
appeared to be the loudest. The resolution
was declared carried
Calls were then made for Latham" >" who
took the stand and addressed the assembly
for about three hours.
After Mr.. Latham had finished his remarks
and the meeting was declared adjourned. the
Douglas men, who had remained pretty quiet
through the Senator's speech, giving only a
few occasional cheers during the pauses
called for Colfroth, Denver, and several
other speakers, who, however, manifested no
intention Of taking any part in the exercises
OF the evening, evideatly considering that
was not the time nor the occasion
In short time, however, Y. L. Geiger a
BreckinIidge man and Indian Agent mounted
the stand, but the majority of the meeting re.
ceived him with derisive cheers and humer-
Gus remarks, which drowned his voice. In
the midst of this noise and confusion persons
crowded on the platform, which suddenly
gave way and precipitated the ex-Indian
Agent and his Breckenridge friends to the
ground. The laughter and shouts that en-
sued were decidedly irrepressible, and it was
universally declared that the performance
was in the highest style of low comedy. We
would mention that after Mr. Latham had re.
tired from the stand, cheers were eiyen for

THE ASHLAND UNION, WEDNESDAY MORNING. JANUARY IS, 1860

One or two faithful servants did their best
to nurse them, but most of the negroes were
panie-struck, and dared not to enter the plague
stricken dwelling.
One night, at the bedside of the child, the
servant was sleeping, for she was o~verpowered
by long watching. When she awoke, she saw
a pale, thin woman, who said she was a nurse,
and who from that time nursed the invalids
with untiring care.
Thanks to her good nursing, the physician
said, after a severe battle, life triumphed.-
Madam Maitland and Waldo were pronounced
out of danger, but sweet Lena deid in the arms
of her faithful nurse. She closed the child's
eyes, and prepared her for her last resting
place; then, as she saw her placed in her coffin,
she staggered and fell to the floor.
They raised her and bore her to a bed in the
de lirium of fever. Wildly she raved of her
de ad child, of her own sad fate, and breaking
heart, and again and again she would pray,
"Oh, God, let me die J"
Madam Maitland, yet feeble, tottered into
her room; she knew her at once. Poor Zoe
lay before her. To her, she and Waleo owed
their lives, and, with fearful eyes, she repeated
to Waldo the scene which had taken place be-
fore Zoe's departure.
'Can you forgive me ?" asked the mother of
her son.
"If she lives; but, if not-oh, God, I cannot
tell!'
Bitter tears were shed that sick bed,
where, unconscious, poor Zoe lay, her cheeks
flushed with fever, her eyes sparkling, and the
agony of her life betrayed in her wild words.
Earnest were the prayers that arose for her
recovery, and when, one morning, she opened
her eyes with her olden gentle glance, her hus-
band fell on his knees, e~xclaiming, "Thank
God, she is saved!
"Where am II" she feebly nurmured.
cat Magnolia, dearest, in your husbands
arms, and under your loving and repentant
mothers roof"
Madam Maitland bent over her, and kissed
her brow.

You have bee very sick"
'Let me lean my head on your breast, dear
Waldo" she said, family.
He raised her as she requested. "I am very
tired" she said, with difficulty.
"Thank God, you can rest on your husbands
heart" he replied. "Now, go to sleep, dearest"
She closeed her blue eyes, half murmuring.
"He givetk his beloved Sleep" and seemed
to sink into a peaceful slumber.
She never walked on earth again.

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part of the
globe, is the consequence of a diseased action in the
system, induced by the poisonous miasm of vegetable
decay. This eXhalation is evolved by the action of solar
heat on wet soil, and rises with the watery vapor from
it. While the sun is below the horizon this vapor
fingers near the earth's surface, and the virus is taken
with it through the lungs into the blood There it acts
as an irritating poison on the internal viscera and ex;
creting organs of the body. The liver becomes torpid
and fails to secrete not only this virus, but also the bile
from the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitutional
disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach
sympathize with the liver, and become d%isordered also.
Finally, the instinct of our organism, as if in an attempt
to expel the noXious infusion, concentrates the whole
blood of the body in the internal excretories to force
them to cast it out. The blood leaves the surface, and
rushes to the central organs with c~ongestive violence.
This is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the central
organs and rushes to the surface, as if in another effort
to expel the irritating poison through that other great
eXcretory-the skin. In this also it fails, and the sys-
tenn abandons the attempt exhausted, waiting for the
recovery of strength to repeat the hopeless effort another
day. These are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND
AGUE. Such constitutional disorder will of course uR-
dermine the health if it is not removed.

And hear the pattering rain-drops fall,
Or listen to the lively proof
OF Migrants round my airy hall,
Yet rise at morn with wonted glee,
To wade the brook, or climb the tree.

Ayers Ague Cure.

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the blood,
and stimulates the liver to expel it from the body. AS
it should, so it does cure this affecting disorder with
perfect certainty. And it does more, or rather does
what is of more service to those subject to this infection.
If taken in season it expels it from the system as it is
absorbed, and thus keeps those who use it free from its
attacks; keeps the system in health although exposed
to the disease. Consequently it not only cures, but
protects from, the great variety of affections which are
induced by this malignant influence, such as ReTnittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical
Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevers, Neu-
ralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness, Toothache, Ear
ache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful Affections
of the Spleen, Mysteries, Collie, Paralysis, and Painful
Affections of the Stomach ard Bowels, all of which,
when arising from this cause, will be found to assume
more or less the intermittent type. This "AGUB
Cure" removes the cause of these arrangements, and
cures the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the e1eretories
to expel the virus from the system; and these organs
by degrees become habited to do this their Office of their
own accord. Hence arises what we term accumulation.
Time may accomplish the same end, but oftenlife is not
long enough, or is sacrificed in the attempt, while this
"AGUE CURE " does Il at once, and with safety. We
have great reason to believe this is a surer as well as
safer remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused BY the miasmatici infection, than any other which
has been discovered; and it has still another important
advantage to the public, which is, that it is cheap as
well as good.
